Fairy Shard

West Clocktown was silent in the morning light. On the left side of the street three shops sat pressed tightly together. Link wandered over to the first on and scanned the sigh beside the door.

"Curiosity Shop," he muttered half to himself, rubbing a hand on his wooden chin.

"Strange, it's only open at night!" Moray piped up behind him. Together they moved on to the next one.

"This one's a bomb shop!" The hero grinned, by habit his hand went to his side to check his bomb bag incase his supply was running low. He frowned when he remembered the fact that he had lost all his gear in the transformation. Reading his thoughts Moray gave a light chuckle saying. "You still have your wallet…" Casting her a dark look he unhooked said wallet and shook it upside down to prove it was empty. The shadow laughed nervously rubbing the back of her head with a hand.

"Wonder what the last shop is…" she exclaimed hopefully closing her eyes and sticking out her tongue. Link gave her an even look before slowly narrowing his eyes. Moray frowned and quickly returned the glare. Finally after a minute or two of glaring at each other the blonde turned and stocked off to the third shop.

"General Store," he read aloud. "This might be a useful place to remember…" The girl didn't reply so Link moved on, up the short flight of stairs and into a small plaza. Nearby a guard stood watch over a city gate. Bravely Link walked over to him and looked up at him.

"Beyond this gate is the ocean but I wouldn't suggest going out there without a sword," the guard informed him and the hero nodded in understanding.

"What about in here?" he motioned around the plaza with one hand.

"Well…" the man began to point. "The nearest door here leads to the Swordsmen's School. Next to that is the Post office and lastly that far door is the Lottery," he grinned. "Also you should come here at night, to girls…twins I think…come here to practice their dance for the festival." A faint blush coated his cheeks as he quickly looked away.

"Umm, thank you!" Link snickered into his hand before walking off to the entrance way into another part of the city.


"South Clocktown again?" he muttered looking down the ramp at the construction men he had met earlier. He turned his head and spotted an archway to his left. Quickly he took it and found himself it what seemed like a small court yard. North Clocktown was covered with grass excluding a dirt pathway that lead from his entrance to another one to the right, left and just in front of him. On the grassy area to the right stood a straggly tree and a stone slide, behind them were three pillars all different sizes.

POP! The noise broke Link's thought and his beady deku eyes focused in on a little boy trying to pop a balloon with a pea shooter. He wore a red bandana over his mop of brown and a loose fitting t-shirt with the number one on the back. Link hurried over, he knew that many people over looked children when speaking of important things thus they ended up with much information which…with the right attitude and personality could be extracted without much trouble(1).

"Excuse me…" The boy only grunted and fired another pea.

"Looks like you'll need to pop that balloon before he'll talk to you…" Moray's sudden comment caused him to jump slightly and turn to her. His eyes bugged out when he noted the fact that her clothes had changed. She now whore a tunic just like Dark's but without the hat.

"W-what?" he stuttered staring at the short hem.

"What? You can wear this but I can't?" Moray spun away with a huff absently motioning to the cave to their left. "Something tells me we have a good chance of finding something if we look in there!" Link only shrugged and went in.

"Your guess is as good as mine…" he trailed off finding himself in a large room with a hollow circle in the center of it. It was surrounded by white pillars and held about an ankle deep amount of water in it. Fluttering over the water was roughly 20 orange pixy like creatures.

"Hero…please unit my last shard and I shall gift you with a special power…" an eerie voice echoed through the place. Moray sighed.

"Let's go," she murmured. "Nothing for us in here right now…" So they walked out and back into the morning sunlight. Link stretched his arms above his head rocking on his toes,

"Where are we supposed to find a shard?" he asked flinching as he cracked his back.

"Well something like that can't be hard to miss and as far as I know we only need to explore two more parts of the town," Moray answered wobbling her head side to side. "East Clocktown and that pathway from South Clocktown." She pointed across the court yard to the far arch.

"I believe that leads to the East." The blonde deku nodded hoping down the small incline and headed for it.


"My feet hurt…" Link wined as he stumbled through North Clocktown. (A.N. Ha-ha I'm too lazy to describe it…) Not finding the shard they had been looking for the moved once more into South Clocktown. By now the sun had reached its zenith and glared down on the small hero as he gazed through the workers to the last place they had to check.

"Try not to get squished!" Moray warned from her position hanging upside down beside him. Link grumbled something under his breath and through himself into crowd, ducking in and out of men. After much twisting and turning he managed to get to the opposite side of the Clocktown square. With a smug smile he stepped onto the ramp and up it. Moray frowned but didn't say anything. The area they were in was grass covered, a river running down the middle. A bridge crossed it over to the left and a tree was growing right in front. Across the water was a small path that lead to a door but at the moment his eyes were focused only on the orange creature floating by the bridge.

"So there it is!" Moray muttered sighing again. "Grab it and let's get it back to that cave…" Ignoring her Link trotted toward the shard discovering a bell on a post near the bridge. Grabbing the post with one hand he reached out on his tip-toes to grab the orange sparkle. One of his wooden fingers hit the bell, a clear ring echoing out in the silence. Unnoticed by Link the door opened and a young boy with bright purple hair and a yellow Keaton Mask over his face stepped out. Finding that it wasn't the postman he watched with sharp eyes as a deku caught an odd pixy in his hand. Yet something felt off to him, even though the deku hadn't seen him he felt another pair of eyes on him. The wooden boy turned to the air beside him and spoke in a hushed tone. He paused seemingly listening then turned to look directly at the masked boy. His eyes shining the plant waved at him before turning and running off the way he had come. Just as Kafei turned to go back inside he spotted a young girl dressed in a black tunic and long purple hair staring at him with piercing red eyes. He did a double take only to find that he was alone.


Back at the cave Link and Moray presented the last shard. It flew up and danced for a long moment with the others before a bright light flashed blinding the blonde hero. When he could finally see again a beautiful women with flowing pink hair floated before him. She laughed happily then addressed him.

"Hero, I am the Great Fairy of Clocktown. I am grateful for your help, but must ask you to restore my four sisters to their rightful beings. They may help you with your journey as I shall now." She lifted her hand and blew glittering dust over Link. When the pieces faded into him he pursed his lips and blew. A colorful bubble expanded from his lips and floated up to pop on the caves roof.

"I think we just found our balloon popper!" Moray giggled patting Link on the head.

"Shadow!" the fairy snapped recapturing their attention. Moray turned to the other floating being with narrow eyes.

"Fairy," she replied with a sneer.

"Guide this hero well!" she ordered before disappearing with another load laugh. Zelda's shadow scoffed sticking her nose in the air darkly.

"Let's go Link!"
