Alright...so as you must have gathered, Link has kinda gone evil...however, just to prepare for what happens a bit later, he is still able to touch the Master Sword (for those who remember: there is this whole thing that evil people can't touch it) The sad sad excuse I came up for why he can touch it still, is because he's still/was the Hero of Time...and a new character pops up. Either you love or you hate this new person...if you hate her, too bad, she's sticking around for a very, very long time...
Link stared at the large stone wall at the Temple of Time. Pulling out the sky blue Ocarina of Time from his tunic, he opened the wall with the Song of Time. The wall drew back to reveal the Master Sword. It was very familiar. He had wielded the mystical blade for a long time all those years ago…He could still touch it. Interesting…he noted. He stood there staring at the pedestal of Time for a while, noting each of the medallion marks on the floor. Then he pulled out the Ocarina again, and played the song his dear friend Saria had taught him, so that they would always be able to hear each other's voices.
Link? Is that you, he heard Saria's voice ask him.
"Yeah…it's me…" he answered aloud.
What…what happened to you…you feel so…different…What's going on? asked his childhood friend.
"I…I'm sorry Saria…" he said taking a deep breath, "I'm sorry for what I'm about to do…please…try to understand…" he whispered feeling tightness in his throat, "tell the others I'm sorry too…" he added as he ran outside of the temple.
Link…what…what are you doing, shrieked Saria, LINK?
Swallowing deeply he punched the ground in front of the temple. A shining blue dome of light grew up around the temple.
"I'm so sorry…all of you…just…try to understand what I'm going through…" he whispered before leaving the area quickly.
"What the hell just happened?" shrieked Saria suddenly. Darunia looked over to her.
"What, What?"
"Can't you feel it?"
"Feel what? What?"
"Pipe down and let me sleep!" complained Nabooru.
"We've been sealed…"stated Rauru solemnly.
"Meaning?" asked Ruto saucily. She had no respect for the old man…
"We've been severed from Hyrule, our power has no influence there anymore…"
"So what about that?" asked Nabooru, finally getting a bit interested.
"We can't tell what's happening there, neither can we help anyone…" said Impa.
"So…you mean we have to rely on that stupid owl for news?" asked Nabooru.
"Well…yeah…but that's not our primary concern!" scolded Ruto, "What we should be worrying about is who on earth has the power to do this?" she said, looking around the room.
Saria looked up sadly.
"It was Link…" she whispered.
"WHAT?" exclaimed everyone in the room, even the normally demure Rauru.
"He spoke to me…just before we were cut off, he said that he was sorry for what he was going to do, and that we should try to understand and forgive him…" said the little girl.
"Well…I'm pretty sure my Sworn Brother knows what he's doing…" said Darunia confidently, "He's…probably just protecting us for the time being…" said the Goron.
"What about Zelda? Have we tried communicating to her? she is after all, the Seventh Sage…" said Impa thoughtfully, but was interrupted by Nabooru's outburst of:
"Who cares! She hasn't spoken to any of us for seven years!"
"She spoke to me!" retorted Impa.
"Who cares about you! I feel left out here!" exclaimed the ex-Gerudo chieftain.
"This is no time for bickering!" said Rauru, "Saria, I'm not sure if it was Link who put up that barrier, Link has next to no knowledge concerning magic, unless it's a pre-prepared spell, I say we wait for news from Kaepora," said the old man.
"Wait? That'll take a year!" exclaimed Darunia frustrated.
"What else can we do?" countered the Sage of Light.
"Chrome Dome's right…" said Ruto, looking towards them all, "I've just tried to communicate to the Princess, but it's like running into a brick wall. We have no choice…"
Silence fell upon the six great Sages.
Nabooru sat up a bit straighter.
"So…anyone up for a game of cards?"
Zelda ran out from the castle as if Ganondorf was after her again, just this time she wasn't on horseback. She dashed up the stairs towards the Temple of Time, only to find she couldn't move any further. She couldn't see anything in front of her, but she just couldn't move a step closer. This is high-grade barrier magic, she remarked, who could have done something like this, she wondered. In fact, she knew, deep down who could have done it. There was only one person other than her in the world with the ability, or potential in his case, to do something as sophisticated as this. But as well, she couldn't believe it, it just wasn't possible…it couldn't be Link. First of all, Link didn't know how to use magic, other than the spells he was taught by the Great Fairies. Secondly, Saria was just beyond this barrier, would Link really sever all communications with his childhood friends?
Link stared at the Ocarina in his hand. He wasn't sure if it would work, but Saria had promised him that the song would reach her 'no matter what'. It was such a childish thought that the Fierce Deity just couldn't keep quiet about it.
Is the Hero of Time really so petty?
"Okay, what did I tell you about calling me that?" growled Link irritably.
He was camped outside of Hyrule Castle Town's walls along with 100 Sheikah. Now that wasn't much compared to an army of 20 000, but then again the Sheikah had managed to survive for about 60 years without being completely exterminated. So it was assumed that they were pretty good at fighting, and they boasted such. He looked up at the sky. He would see soon if they were as good as they claimed to be.
The Sheikah were always great warriors during my time…
"I'm going to assume that you were one of them…" muttered Link.
The Fierce Deity was really quite full of himself, and that pissed Link off. He had always hated people who talked big and weren't.
Actually, no…I'm a god, I was their guardian…
"Same thing," answered Link irritably. A little Sheikah girl looked at him funny. She was about six years old with white hair and deep blue eyes. She did not possess the stereotypical red eyes of the Sheikah…
"Hey…mister…who are you talking to?" she asked.
Link got up and patted the kid on the head.
"No one," he smiled gently at the little girl.
"Really? You're not talking to the scary guy behind you?"
Really…the impudence of that little brat…
"She's got a point, you don't look very huggable," grinned Link.
"So you are talking to that guy!" laughed the little girl.
"Yeah…what does he look like to you?"
"Sort of see-through, and he's right here!" she said jumping up and down at a spot on the grass.
"Brynna…what the hell are you doing?" asked a passing Sheikah raising an eyebrow at the little girl's antics.
"So you're the only one who can see him, eh?" smiled Link thoughtfully.
You can't be serious…said the Fierce Deity in such humanly tones, that Link chuckled at it.
"Your name's Brynna right?" he asked the little girl.
She nodded.
"Well, my name's Link. You…You don't have parents, right?"
The girl nodded again.
"Well then Brynna, stick close to me, the battle's about to begin…"
Hooray! Chapter 7 done...it will be a while before the next one comes up because: well schools back and I have 75 episodes of Naruto to watch...and maybe another 25 episodes of BLEACH...4 episodes of Scrapped Princess...22 episodes of Samurai 7...you get the idea...
