Soren POV
I wandered around the library, no one ever seems to go in here, besides Zelda, but she only comes in occasionally. I looked in the back rows, the books were crafted out of torn faded leather and weak bindings. One in particular caught my attention, it was oldest. I placed my book on a nearby chair as I reached a hand up, the book was made out of worn soft leather, I pulled it off of the shelf. I couldn't read the title, I ran a finger over the faded gold lettering, strange. I was about to open it when I suddenly had the urge to put it back. I ignored the feeling, I was starting to carefully open it when, I felt the air turn cold, I became aware of the lack of noise… I shivered, the air was dry and very cold, and the book itself seemed to be surging with some sort of dark power. I didn't open it, but I couldn't seem to let go of it. Every fiber of my being wanted to put the book back. I couldn't, I held the book in one hand with the other I started to open it.
"Hey! Soren!" I heard Ike call; his voice for some reason broke the chilly silence. I placed the book back as I turned to look at him.
"Hello." I replied slowly.
"I haven't seen you around lately, where have you been?" Ike asked, he had his hands on his hips.
"I've been around here, of course."
"Are you okay? You seem distant, is something wrong? Has anything strange happened to you? The other day the there was an earthquake." Ike muttered.
I didn't tell him that the earthquake was my doing, "Nothing is wrong Ike. Nothing." I snapped, I picked up my book as I stomped out of the library.
"Soren!" Ike called, he hurried after me, he grabbed my elbow.
"Can you let go?" I hissed coolly.
"Soren! What's wrong with you? What's happened to you?!"
"Nothing has happened to me, besides getting beaten by Marth and Roy to leave you alone, so therefore you should leave me alone." I snapped, I pulled my arm away as I hurried off.
"SOREN!!!" Ike shouted, he ran after me.
"I told you to leave me alone." I snapped.
"I know. But this is the one time that I'm not listening to you." Ike remarked, as he hurried to catch up with me.
"Listen Ike, this isn't about Roy and Marth. It's about you, I don't like you. We're different people." I lied, my voice caught, why must I lie to him?
"What happened to you? You've never been like this!" Ike shouted, he was angry and confused.
"I changed. People do that, not that you'd know, you're simply too shallow, you and your friends." I snapped.
"Soren!" Ike shouted again, he knows that I don't mean it. He knows that there's a deeper problem
I turned away from him, I walked away. For once, he didn't follow. I grimaced I didn't want to hurt him, and that is why I need him to stay away. He knows something is wrong, if he finds out about this stupid 'subspace returning' he'll get killed, and if I tell him he'll get killed, the only solution is him staying away. I wish I didn't have to lie, he isn't shallow he's very selfless, he's a wonderful person. I look up to him. Yet I don't feel that Elincia deserved him, she was a spoiled naïve brat. I looked at the ground, feeling sicker by the minute. I sat down, I was in the forest, I curled up. There was no point going back and overhearing more crap. I closed my eyes slowly, even though it was only sunset. I felt so sick and tired. I drifted asleep. It was a light sleep, but I guess that's what I get for sleeping in a forest. I heard voices.
"Told you." A voice that sounded like Bowser's scoffed.
"Why would he sleep outside?" A voice asked, it sounded like Vaati.
"Maybe because you and idiotic Ganondorf threatened his friend's life."
"No shit. I figured as much."
I felt someone shake my shoulder, I opened my eyes slowly. I felt groggy; Vaati and Bowser leaned over me.
"Uh… Hello…" I whispered.
"Hi there sunshine, do you want to get up?" Bower muttered, his pudgy arms were crossed.
"Why are you here?" I whispered as I stood up.
"We're looking for you." Vaati murmured.
"Why?"I asked as I raised my eyebrows. Why would they look for me?
"Uh… it's sort of a long story." Bowser muttered.
"I think I'll just stay here, it seems… safer." I whispered.
"Do you really plan to sleep and live outside?" Bowser scoffed.
"I would normally assume that he'd go and room with Ike, but he just lost that friendship." Vaati said slowly, as though he was trying to rub it in.
I pushed past them, I stomped off to the library, I saw a chair, which I sat on. I closed my eyes. I fell asleep. I opened my eyes it was early morning, I noticed that a book was on my lap. But it wasn't my book. My book was on the table next to me. I felt the strange cold and the eerie silence, I opened the book, and on the first page it said 'Subspace prophecies', I flipped through it on every page there was a different year and a certain person that must awaken it, I flipped to this year. Last year, it said that 'either the blue man of subspace or the Koopa King and Gerudo King must awaken Subspace' the blue guy must be Tabuu or whatever. This year it said that 'either the blue man of subspace or Daein's true heir the wind sage', strange those other fools thought they only needed a strong person, they were wrong. But Ashnard never had a child, it was impossible. I felt myself smile, it was impossible. Since Tabuu the blue guy was destroyed, subspace couldn't return. Although this book seemed weird, the entries seemed… so bland, not ancient. I stood up; maybe I should show Ganondorf this I picked up my other book as I headed up to my room. Ganondorf and Bowser were arguing like always.
"I have something you should see." I opened up the book and pointed to the entry.
They started reading; Ganondorf grimaced as he hissed, "shit. Who's the damn heir?"
"Daein is the country Crimea fought. The king Ashnard was killed and he did not have any children, and even if he did, miraculously, what's the chance they would be a mage?"
"So it's impossible." Ganondorf was furious, he was glaring at me.
"I guess so." Bowser murmured scratching his stomach.
"There's something I must tell you, Soren." Vaati murmured, I spun around I hadn't seen him.
"What?" I asked slowly.
"The reason I trained you is because our original plan was for you to awaken subspace for us. We assumed that a powerful mage was needed, who better then a random child that pops up at the perfect moment?" Vaati muttered.
"Once we realized that you were a mage the plan fell into line perfectly. The only flaw was that you're fourteen, which we soon realized was incorrect you're nineteen. So I called Vaati to come and teach stronger magic. But this prophecy changes things." Ganondorf hissed.
I took a step back, heading for the door. "You'll never find Ashnard's child, never. And this is the last prophecy; this is your last chance."
"He has a point… Ganondorf, the rest of the pages are blank." Bowser mumbled, quite startled.
"There must be one damn heir!" Ganondorf hollered, suddenly he looked at me, "Boys, I have a plan."
That's the end of this chapter! I should update soon, but I really don't know if I will :D
