A/N: So things start to mold into the future of this story. From the inevitable release of the Triforce to the up and coming rescue mission. All will set the tone for what it is to come so… enjoy! Also just to note the two titular characters are 12 and… no there will not be a romance… yet. Maybe at the end of Part 1 I'll start something but definitely not till then. Well obviously since they are apart. But come on, when you were in sixth grade did you… never mind. Alright I have decided their romance will begin. When they are 13. Suck it up and deal with it. I am a hopeless romantic and there's nothing I love more than a slow burn romance. Those of you who like that then you are welcome. Those of you that would prefer a quick romance story and just all the fluff well then you'll be disappointed. I really enjoy stories that mix the romance and the action. So this'll be fun! Please leave a review with what you think of my story so far.

The Triforce

"I still don't get it." Kody groaned once more as he heard that for the fifth time. After waiting at the hospital for Kari the group went out into the panic filled streets. It was a two mile walk towards Mary's house from the hospital. So Kody found time to kill by telling Kari what was going on. But she just kept asking questions and didn't really understand what he was telling her.

"Which part this time?" He asked, obviously annoyed. Kari showed up with a backpack of survival supplies which they were all thankful for. Kari and Mary met each other for the first time and the younger girl liked Kari. After all she gave her a granola bar when Mary said she was hungry. Kari had her long red hair down across her shoulders and came with a blue jacket and jeans. Kody had the suspicions that she was actually waiting for something like this. Who would actually have a survival backpack anyway?

"The part where you're the one that's supposed to save her." Kari said with a raised eyebrow. The two pre-teens were walking behind Lucas who held a sleeping Mary in his arms. Mary spent the first mile or so talking Kari's ear off about anything and everything. Especially about how her brother was the Hero and Kayla was the Princess.

"It's my destiny or something. I don't know ask Kayla when we save her." Kody said waving it off. He had to give her credit though. She took everything in stride. She didn't completely believe it but she found her own truth in the words he said. That was good enough for now. Seeing at their allies were very limited.

"You mean when you save her?" Kari asked throwing him a smirk. There were many people running around at night due to the blackout and the mass hysteria caused by their enemy. But for the most part the group didn't run into any resistance. Police were out blocking streets off and such but they had their hands full and didn't have time to deal with the kid that assaulted a police officer and ran out of the station. Kody was thankful for this.

"Oh don't worry you can take credit for the plan once we save her if you want." Kody shrugged. Just anything to get her to help.

She laughed and shook her head looking back ahead. "You're not so bad. I see why Kayla hangs around you so much now." She said with a small smile.

"I thought you hate me and we were enemies with the same best friend." He raised an eyebrow and looked over at her.

This time Kari shrugged. "The way I see it we both have a bigger and more common enemy at the moment." She looked back at the boy with a grin. "If you wanna go back to hating each other after all this then that's fine." She said.

"Deal." He agreed and they shared a small laugh. Kody's smile fell almost immediately. Kari noticed this and turned to him with a frown.

"What's up?" She asked.

"While we are walking and joking around there's no telling what they are gonna do to Kayla, I'm just…" He shook his head. "I feel so guilty." He said honestly.

"Don't sweat the small stuff." Kari said. "There's no way you could have stopped them. From what you've told me the group was probably already there and just waiting for a chance to grab her. You have to be thankful that they left you alive so that you can do something about that." She reasoned with him.

He looked at her for a long time and considered her words. She was right, but the guilt still hung over his head and inside his heart. He needed to let it go if he was going to put himself together and save her. But he couldn't shake it at the moment. "Tell me after we get a plan together." He said softly.

Kari reached out and punched him in the shoulder. "Stop being such a sob fest." She said glaring at him. She turned her eyes away and mumbled. "Doesn't suit you hero."

Despite the slight stinging pain in his shoulder Kody smiled. She was right. Crying over the fact that he let them take Kayla was not going to get her back. If he was going to be the Hero of Time, or her Hero, then he had to realize he made a mistake and get over it. He couldn't be burdened with guilt. Not anymore. Not with all that was going on now.

"You're right." He said looking ahead. "I need to focus on saving the Princess."

Despite their mutual hatred for each other, Kari and Kody found this time and situation to bond with each other. They may not be friends but this would certainly change that.

"Whatever brings Kayla back to us." They followed Lucas as he turned down a sidewalk path and up to his house. He fumbled in his pocket for the keys and unlocked the door all while keeping Mary sound asleep on his shoulder. He opened the door and it was pitch black. He didn't move to go inside.

"What's up?" Kody asked the older man.

"I don't know if they could have someone in here waiting for us." Lucas said quietly. "I'll go ahead and check." He took one step inside but Kody reached out and grabbed his arm, stopping him. Mary's father looked down at the twelve year old.

"I'll go ahead. You're holding Mary and she's the one that needs to stay out of this the most. And I can't carry her. It would be safer for all of us if I went in there anyway." Kody explained to the other two.

"Why do you say that?" Kari asked.

"I don't know how to explain it but when we got attacked by those men for the first time I was able to beat them all up. Something just snapped within me and not only did I beat them I avoided getting hurt myself." Kody explained as he looked between the pair. "I think it has something to do with the Hero."

"You mean yourself?" Kari asked.

"Yes I'm the Hero! I know but I mean like the part of him, or me, that was an expert fighter. He comes out when I need it most. Or I come out when I need it most. The point is it would always be safer if I were the first one to go into danger." He finished and looked up to Lucas. "Alright?"

The older man didn't want to put a kid in harm's way when he was there and able to do it. But from all the things he's heard tonight and seen the past three months, nothing was certain anymore. Like he wasn't certain the best thing was for him to lead their little group either. Guess he had to start listening to his instinct instead of his common sense. "Alright, but be careful. If your mom knew about this-" He started but Kody cut him off.

"She'd say why are you wasting time talking about me?" Kody finished and threw off his backpack and dropped Kayla's, which he had been carrying, to the ground. He started going inside when a bright light appeared from behind him. He looked to see Kari holding the bright light towards him.

"You're gonna need this." As he reached for it she pulled it away from him. "But I'm holding it." She said with a wink.

He rolled his eyes at her but guided her in next to him. "Well come on then."

They walked inside the house and started looking around in the dark for any sign of an intruder or someone in the house that shouldn't be. "You really believe in that stuff you and your sister told me about?" Kari asked as she shined her flashlight into the kitchen.

Kody was ahead of her, looking in the places she was shining her light in. "Well, Kayla believed in it and I have to believe in it. If I'm gonna get her back I have to believe that I'm the one to save her."

Kari looked at the back of his head as he led them into another room to search. "And if it's not all true?" She asked and he stopped moving. "What then?"

He turned around and looked at her. She lowered the flashlight so he wouldn't be blinded from it. "Then I'll still save Kayla. Whether she's this Princess Zelda or not she is still mine to save." He turned back around and kept searching the house. "I don't care about that Triforce stuff. It doesn't need to tell me that I'm the one to save her. I knew that without it existing."

As they ventured into another room Kari let out a long laugh. "With the way you talk you make me believe you really are this hero person."

He couldn't tell if she was joking or not. It didn't matter. The legend of the Triforce was real enough for him now. Without Kayla being the logical one he had to force himself to look at things logically now. And logically there were too many coincidences for him to not believe it. That's just the fact of the situation.

As the two pre-teens cleared out the last room Kari sighed. "Well you've brought me into this whole thing based off a myth so I trust you'll get Kayla out of it." She waved around her flashlight. "Whatever it is you two got yourselves mixed in." She said turning around to tell Lucas that the house was clear.

Kody nodded but waited until she left. "That's what I'm about to find out." He said as he looked at the seven large books poking out from underneath Mary's bed.

"I did not expect I would be giving a history lesson while I went through the ritual." Agahnim said as he flipped through his large book near his desk of potions. "I would have brought along my assistant so he could tell you everything."

Kayla whipped her head back as to get the hair from in front of her eye out of the way. "It's obvious you know the most about all this so tell me." Kayla demanded. She had been standing there with her hands tied above her for almost an hour. So she started asking questions. This man, Agahnim, had said that the ritual takes some time and research so that must be what he was doing. Either way she didn't care. She was starting to get bored. And cold, the power was off and she had left her sweatshirt with Kody. But that didn't stop her from sweating cold sweat. The waiting and anticipation made her very nervous.

"Very well what do you want to know?" He asked as he read over his notes.

"The Triforce." He stopped and looked up at her. "What is it? Why is it so important?"

"The Triforce is the power of the Goddesses." He explained simply. "It was their power they bestowed on the land and to the Hylian race. Then, Ganondorf stole it and it split into three. He has one, you have one, and Link the Hero has one. Ganondorf's is power. Link's is Courage and yours is Wisdom."

"You call us by the names from the stories, why?" She asked.

"Because those are your true names. Your souls are those of the Thief, the Princess, and the Hero. These names you bear now are not your true names." He said.

"What about this Triforce? What is that guy Ganondorf after with it?"

"He's looking to reunite it once again. Forcibly this time."

"How can he do that if the Triforce is split into three?"

He looked at her very carefully this time before answering. "By killing the two of you and taking your power." He said as if it meant nothing.

Kayla's eyes widened and her head snapped up to look at her restrained wrists. She began to squirm and try and pull free from the restraints but it wasn't working.

"You can stop doing that he's not going to kill you for a while." Agahnim went back to his book. "Actually he may want to keep you alive for a long time. Who knows? Just know I have no intention of killing you." He looked back up at her. "That's why it's taking so long. There are many ways of doing this but they all involve in death for some reason."

Kayla was still processing the first part of his words. "You… don't work for the other guy?"

Again, Agahnim looked up at her. This time with a frown. "No, why? Did he tell you that? Then he gave you the wrong idea. I do not work for him I am my own master. He just makes a deal with me when he needs me."

"Then what are you exactly?"

"I told you I'm a wizard. The last in existence most likely. Definitely the last who understands magic though."

"Magic? So it's not a myth?"

"What's not a myth?"

"All this." She gestured with her strung up hand. "The stories the Triforce. Everything."

"Of course it's not a myth. Don't be stupid Princess. After all you hold the Wisdom part." He shook his head but laughed at his own joke. "The Triforce connects all three of you. Without it though, like you all are right now, you are just regular… humans. Going about your daily lives like you are normal when you're not." He started walking towards her, gesturing wildly with his hands as he spoke. "You think you are all average, without a purpose. When you were destined to wield the secret of the Goddesses. I can give you that, I can get you the Triforce. Then you will be immortals." He ended his speech and the last word echoed in the empty room. Kayla looked from the crazy guy in front of her to the other sides of the room.

"Well that's nice of you." She finally said.

He dropped his enthusiastic act and frowned. "You still have yet to understand little Zelda. What I am about to do, there's no going back. Your life, and the other two lives, will never be the same. You will have all your power unleashed."

"But that still doesn't explain why it had to be me."

"Ah yes but that," he started as he went back to his large book. "Is what I thought too. I had to do some digging but I finally figured out why." He looked her directly in the eyes. "You were always the chosen one Princess Zelda. You were the one they were going to pick to be the sole bearer of the Triforce. Goddesses own words. But then Ganondorf stole it and it was not meant to be. But somehow they managed to put the whole thing on you regardless. They gave you abilities that the other two didn't have. And all the countless battles all started and ended with you. After all, Link is supposed to save you. Not Hyrule."

Kayla breathed slowly as she took this in. That meant that everything that had happened and will happen was because of her. She couldn't take that responsibility. "No." She said quietly. "You're lying this can't be all about me!"

"But it is Princess! Isn't that fascinating!? It was always about you." He adjusted his coat and grabbed onto a cylinder of gold liquid. "That's what I discovered and I knew it was my best bet in getting the Triforce out of all of you. So that your destinies can be achieved."

"But what do you get out of all this?" That was the one thing that didn't make sense in her mind.

"Me? Well for right now I gain nothing for this. Except being known as the man who unlocked the Triforce. That is its own reward. But I will be gaining a substantial amount of funding for my future operations. And unleashing the Triforce will allow me to do what I plan to in the future." He said with a haunting foreshadowing. "But you won't have to worry about me as an opponent for a long time." He reached inside the cylinder and dipped the tips of his fingers in the gold liquid.

"Now Your Highness, I would like to apologize beforehand for any pain you might endure. It's not my intention to hurt you in any way." He said before lightning began to crackle on his fingertips. "It's just necessary to get the Triforce out." The lightning got bigger and bigger in his grip.

Kayla's eyes widened as her heart accelerated to new heights. She could see what was about to happen to her and there was no way of stopping it. She closed her eyes and opened her mouth. As soon as the pain hit her she screamed as loud as she could.

"Okay so from what I got from these." Kody indicated at three books he pushed to one pile. "Was that Ganondorf is the bad guy and Zelda is the Princess who actually guards the secrets of the Triforce. And I mean true secrets. And I'm just a kid with bad luck and a lucky strike who saves the day. Oh, and that we all have the Triforce that gives us magical powers or something I don't know. And these," he pointed to two that were in another pile. "Basically describe what the Hero does and what the Princess does. Now most of it went over my head but I got the point that we are two pieces of a puzzle. Like she controls one aspect while I control the other. And only together are we unbeatable. Also some stuff about other things with magic and… you know what I didn't get it." He exhaled then pointed at the last two. "And these, are in another language."

Across from him Lucas and Kari sat with their arms crossed and their eyebrows raised. "I see your point Kody." Lucas said. "But I'm still not waking up Mary."

For the past hour or so Kody and the group had gotten to reading the books that Mary had talked about. Kody had come to realize he wasn't very good at this information part. Especially the part where the some of the books were in a different language. He remembered that Kayla could read it but she… And also Mary could read it. So he needed her to be awake to unlock those last two books as well as tell them where the storage unit is.

"Oh come on!" Kody complained. "We need her to translate it!" He yelled and pointed the bright flashlight at his face.

"Keep it down, that won't help." Lucas said. "She needs her sleep. She had a long day and she's still only nine."

"But this is to save Kayla. And she's the only one that knows where the storage unit is with all that other stuff."

"He has a point." Kari said looking at the older man.

"No, at least not for another two hours. She needs to sleep, who knows when she'll get another chance."

"Are you guys talking about me?" All three looked up to see Mary walking in the dark room that was lit up by a flashlight and a lantern. Kari grabbed her flashlight and shined it in Mary's direction.

"Sweetie why are you up?" Lucas asked as he pulled the young girl to sit in his lap.

"I was and then I had a dream and in my dream a voice told me to wake up. That they need my help. So I woke up." She said simply.

"Really? I mean great!" Kody said as he pushed the two books towards her. "What do these say?"

Mary yawned and rubbed her eye before taking one of the books. She read the front cover of the first one and then spoke. "This one is about the magical artifacts the Princess had locked away in her secret temples. It says how each artifact was used at one point or another to be used to take down evil. It also talks about the great Hero of Time, Link, and how he was able to beat the evil Lord Ganondorf." Mary stopped talking then slowly pushed the book back towards Kody. "I think you'll want to study that later."

Kody frowned and Kari laughed while Lucas raised an eyebrow. Mary smiled and took the other book. "Oh this one!" She said taking the book. "I don't really like this one."

"Why not?"

She looked through the worn pages and at the very pretty paintings inside it. "It's a story of the last battle for Hyrule. And how the Hero and the Princess failed to stop the Thief."

"What?" Kody asked as he scooted closer. "The last battle, I heard of that before but it didn't go into detail. What's that book say?"

Mary looked at him for a moment then glanced back at the book. "It says that Ganondorf cursed the Goddesses in his final life and tried to end his cycle of defeat. He wanted to lure Link and Zelda to his temple upon Death Mountain in order to do that. Zelda and Link both ventured up the mountain and went to stop Ganondorf. But they fell into his trap…" She looked at Kody. "I never finished it." She explained.

"Please finish it. We need to know." He practically begged her.

Mary nodded slowly and looked down at the book and at the final pages. She began reading. "Link and Ganondorf battled upon the mountain. While they fought Zelda realized something was wrong. Her Triforce power was leaving her. She saw that Ganondorf had constructed a spell before they had arrived. Realizing the power of this spell she began to discover what it was. It was a spell to destroy the Triforce. She realized the weight of this and what would happen. So she cast a spell over the three of their souls as well as the spell Ganondorf did. Her magic was far stronger so she was able to keep the spell from happening as long as it was encased in her seal. The result was the disappearance of all three keepers of the Triforce. Their souls which had been reincarnated nearly every generation disappeared from Hyrule. We had been waiting for them to return but no one knew the extent of Zelda's power. It wasn't until my ancestor, the niece of the Hero Link, informed our family line of the final words of the Goddesses. These words were never written down before but my mother told me I was the one to record everything they spoke.

Fear not children of Hyrule. You are not abandoned.

We will be with you soon enough. Please hold onto the record of the Triforce.

We entrust your line with these words. In two thousand years the Triforce will return to you.

The Princess will be the key in which to unlock Hyrule once more. Link if you can hear this it's up to you.

Your family line has kept these secrets for you. They are all for you.

Now that you have returned you must learn these secrets and learn them all, you and Princess Zelda. But you also have the one secret you must guard for all your life.

You must guard the secret of Zelda."

Everyone looked at Kody after that. When Mary read the part where the Goddesses spoke to him directly he flinched and stopped breathing entirely. As Mary spoke those words he heard four voices instead of just one. Three of the voices sounded ominous. So much so that it made his heart skip a beat.

"Kody?" Kari asked him. He then looked at all the eyes on him. Quickly composing himself he cleared his throat and resumed to breathe normally.

"I'm sorry, please continue." Kody said in an even tone. Inside his mind he realized everything now. The Goddesses had done everything perfectly. They had planned everything out for when the three returned. And now, since he heard their voice with his own ears, he realized that there was no doubt in his heart anymore. The only thing he doubted was if he could succeed in what they trusted to him.

Mary continued on. "It seems they wanted to leave that message specifically for Link when he returns. Our family line held onto these secrets and will continue to hold onto them. For we are to keep them safe. If Hyrule were to forget the legend then we shall not. We shall remember that in two thousand years from the day of the battle the Hero and Princess shall return. And on that day we must help them in any way we can." Mary closed the book and looked at Kody. "It's over."

Kody rubbed his sweaty palms on his knees. That was it. His final shred of doubt about the legend was gone with that story. His mom and now his sister were the keepers of the legend of the Triforce. And that he was meant to be born onto his mother, since it was his blood line continued. It was so obvious now. Why his sister got all this instead of him. Why he lived without any family. Why he felt connected to Kayla at such a young age. Why he felt the need to protect her. And finally, why he was the person he was.

A Hero.

"Wow." Kody said after a moment. "Wow!" He repeated and shot up from sitting down. "Okay, so any questions?"

After a long silence Kari looked in between the other three. "To sum up? You are the Hero. You are supposed to keep Kayla safe, nice job by the way. And you are basically thousands of years old. And you have lived like what? Twenty lifetimes before." She said.

"No I got that part." Kody rolled his eyes. He looked down at the floor and turned his back to the others. He thought long and hard about their next move. There had to be something they needed to do first. A direction to go in. He knew what to do he just needed the first step.

He took a step forward and his foot kicked open the book next to it. It flipped open to a page where a painting of Link was on one side of it. It showed his former self staring down a monster while holding a sword in one hand and a boomerang in the other with his shield on his back. He turned his head and picked up the large book. He brought the image closer to his face but couldn't make out what the description said since it was in another language. He quickly passed it off to his sister. "Mary translate."

She took the book then yawned once more. She must have been very tired. It was almost nine after all. She looked at the image he indicated and to the description below it. "It says here that many weapons the Hero used were locked away in Princess Zelda's temples and castles. Some were passed down through our family specifically for the sake of keeping safe until the Hero returned. His Magic Boomerang was kept safe locked in a chest and presented to his family line sometime after the Last Battle for Hyrule. We have kept it safe and secret all this time hoping to return it to the Hero upon his return." She finished.

Kody processed all the words and his mind clicked the pieces that were missing together. "Mary, we need to get to that storage shed."

"That's not right." Agahnim said before stopping his painful assault on Kayla. She finally stopped screaming and let her head hang down as the constant pain finally ceased. She let out a strangled gasp for air as her body felt like it was on fire. Her muscles were still shaking from the pain she had to go through.

"I apologize again for the pain but this does not seem to be working." He said and turned around. He crossed the room to his desk area and went back over his notes and such. "I must be missing something.

Kayla sucked in a shaky breath as her arms shook and a few tears escaped her eyes. She couldn't help it, it hurt so much. She finally lifted her head back up and moaned in pain. Once she was out of these cuffs she was going to show him how much she appreciated this process. "How… how d-do you know?" She asked in a weak voice.

"I'm sorry?" He asked but didn't look up.

She cleared her throat and made herself look strong again. "How do you know what you're doing? Did you see visions of this as well?" She asked thinking back to how she first figured all this out. It all started from those dreams she had.

This caught his attention. He slowly looked up at her with a haunting look. "Visions?" He asked. "Do you mean dreams?"

Kayla didn't say anything but nodded slowly. He began to walk towards her again. "Dreams of what?" Kayla thought it was best not to answer. Whatever he was looking for he was obviously close to finding. She bit her lip to keep from saying a word. He frowned seeing as though she was opting for silence. He held up his hand and charged up another fistful of yellow lightning. Her eyes widened at the sight. "You can talk now or in twenty minutes." He warned her.

"They're just dreams." She fumbled out before she knew it. Actually it felt like she wasn't even saying it. Like she was watching someone control her body and speak for her. Like someone wanted her to not go through any pain unnecessarily. "It's what led us to the Triforce in the first place. Dreams of the things that made us want to seek out the Triforce and what help us realize what was going on."

As she finished talking Agahnim closed his hand and the lightning disappeared. "Interesting." He said to himself. Kayla seemed to snap out of it and looked around the room. 'What just happened? I didn't say a word but my body coughed up all the information.' She thought to herself then looked at the other occupant in the room. 'I wasn't going to tell him a thing. But what happened…?'

"As it would seem the Goddesses made this easier than I thought. It's too bad they don't just tell me instead of letting me do this to you." He explained as he started walking very close to her. "If you want to blame someone for your pain then blame the Goddesses. But for this next part you can blame me." He said as he stood right in front of her.

"What next part?" As soon as she asked he shot his hand forward and hit the tips of his fingers to the center of her chest where her heart was. She felt something stab through her and her head shot back and she couldn't hold back the scream at the back of her throat. It felt like it was inside her body! In her heart!

"This whole time I thought I had to unlock it through your soul." He grunted as he spoke, being very careful in what he was doing. Since it was her heart he had to be careful so as to not kill her. It didn't help that she was thrashing around from the intense pain. "Instead the Goddesses locked it in your heart." He let the last word ring out as a golden stream of magic went down his arm and onto his hand before shooting into her body and into her heart.

"We must find out where they are." Christopher said to two of his men up in his tower. He returned after visiting the one that would become Princess Zelda. He trusted Agahnim to get the Triforce unlocked so he had to work on finding the one that would be Link. "I don't want to capture them I just want to know there whereabouts." He said.

"I understand sir but since the blackout began we've had a more difficult time tracking them." One man said.

"I know just find them before the weekend's out. Search family, friends, anyone he associates with. I need him at least." Christopher began to feel sweaty. He reached up and loosened his collar a bit before feeling an uncomfortable pain on his left hand. He rubbed it with his other hand and that's when the stabbing pain hit him in his chest. He yelled in pain and dropped to his knees.

As his men ran towards him he held up a hand to stop them. "Stop, it's alright." He said as he dealt with the pain as best he could. "It's happening." He said as the pain continued to assault him.

"The Triforce is unleashed."

"You know it feels sketchy." Kari said as they walked in the darkness while Kody held onto the lantern. Behind him Lucas held Mary's hand and Kari walked next to him.

"What does?" Kody asked. She just loved to hear her own voice huh?

"Walking across town at night while the power's out. What if someone decides to jump us?" Kari asked.

"Then you'll have to rely on the Hero of Time." Kody said with a grin. He started to feel hot all of a sudden. Well he was wearing a sweatshirt and they had been walking all night practically. Then the back of his left hand started hurting. He reached up and rubbed it carefully. But as the pain got worse a sharp pain jolted through him inside his chest. He dropped to the ground and screamed in agony.

"Kody what's wrong?" Kari asked, grabbing his shoulder.

He stopped screaming and looked up into the night as realization hit him. "Kayla…"

Kayla's body went completely still and her screaming stopped. Her head snapped back and hit the wall behind as her eyes slowly looked up at the sky. Her eyes glazed over and turned gold the very next second and Agahnim stepped back. The shape of a golden triangle shot out from her chest and a shockwave went throughout the room. Her left hand began to burn and sear her flesh but she couldn't feel it. Her body was numb and all she could see was the shape of the Triforce through her golden glowing eyes. A lightning bolt descended from the heavens and hit her, igniting the entire building with light.

As the shockwave from the lightning bolt faded Kayla's eyes returned to normal and her body felt better. She didn't feel any pain from what she had to go through before. In fact she felt better than before. She lowered her head and let out a long exhale. As she opened her eyes she saw that the wizard was on his back and struggling to get up. She looked all around the room and saw that some of the walls were broken and all the windows had blown out. Even the doors were hanging of the hinges. "What happened?" She asked as she looked around.

Christopher rose back to his feet. He began to laugh low and quietly at first. Then his laugh picked up and he did so maniacally. He lifted up his left hand and stared at the image he sought for his entire life. The golden Triforce was implanted onto his hand.

Kody felt the pain leave him and began gasping for air. He slowly picked himself up with the help of Kari. He still cradled his left hand and looked at each of the other people in their group. He nodded when Kari asked him if he was alright then he finally looked down at his hand. The image of the Triforce on the back of his hand.

After Agahnim got back up he immediately walked over to her and began to go over her body. Seeming to make sure that she was alright. "Hmm, interesting." He noted as he poked her side. "No permanent damage. But the process seemed to have worked." He reached up and grabbed her head, turning her head to the side.

"Hey!" Kayla yelled as he did so. He smirked as he looked at the side of her head.

"Yes it worked nicely." He snapped his fingers and her restraints released. Her hands fell down from above her. It didn't take more than a second for her to cock her fist back and punch him right in the face. He stumbled back and she wore a proud smile.

"There, now I feel better." She said.

"Hold on!" He said holding up a hand so she didn't hit him again. He pointed towards her hands. "Look at the back of your hand."

Kayla raised an eyebrow but looked at the back of her hands. As she saw the golden imprint of the Triforce on the back of her left hand she gasped. "The Triforce." She whispered breathlessly.

She looked up as he handed a mirror to her. "That's not the only thing." He said and pointed at his own ears.

She took the mirror but still shot him a glare. She raised up the mirror to look at her ears and was shocked to see that they had changed. The tips of her ears curled together, forming a triangle at the top and turned pointed. She held up her left hand and gingerly touched her ear. Sliding it from the bottom to the top where the ridges now met and formed her new point shaped ear.

"It's the mark of the Hylians." Agahnim said. He reached out for the mirror back. "It allows you to-"

She cut him off by taking the mirror and slamming it into the bridge of his nose. The wizard flew onto his back and groaned in pain. "Shut up." She whispered with disgust. She had about enough of that man.

Looking from the image of her new ears to the wizard lying on his back and groaning in pain realization came to her. She looked out at the open doors and saw that no guards had come. It seems that he wanted his privacy. That was going to cost him. Kayla didn't waste time thinking about it as she sprinted towards the exit.

"Maybe you won't have to save me." She said as she escaped from the room.

Fin.

A/N: So the Triforce is unleashed. And that means… they are more like themselves now. I know what you are thinking. When are their names going to change? Well I have to tell you, not any time soon. Why? I don't know just cause. Actually it's more having to do with the plot. As they slowly morph into who they are supposed to be as will their names and such. Yeah. Hopefully I'm keeping that mix of light and dark in the story cause that's what I really am trying for.

As always leave a review letting me know what you think
