Disclaimer: I do not own any Legend of Zelda characters. This is a story I have created and not a part in anyway making me money... I am poor... and possibly more so now having written this...
Anyway, please enjoy, and if you find that I have any problems, misspellings, or even if I am terrible at this, tell me... but be respectful. Hope you like it!
I stand at the alter with the Spiritual Stones in my hands. It took nearly a week for me to convince Darunia I needed a few days to sell the Goron Ruby before I left. I spent the majority of my time practicing the song Zelda was so kind to teach me. I place the stones into the grooves and take a deep breath. I am unsure what will happen, yet the anticipation is killing me.
I bring the ocarina to my lips and begin to play. My notes are shaky and my fingers tremble. When the song is over, I stand waiting. Nothing happens. I try again; I must have hit the wrong note somewhere along the score. I narrow my eyes and wait impatiently. Nothing happens yet again. I release a stone shattering growl in my frustration. I turn and begin to storm away, but I stop as I hear a heavy sliding.
I turn to the alter and to my surprise, the wall behind is moving; not a wall but a door. I smile triumphantly as I march back to my place. I stand craning my neck out to see what lay behind the hidden doorway. There is a room, and something in the centre of it with light shining down on it. I take a few steps closer and I feel my legs shake. It is the Master Sword!
I race toward the pedestal it stands in and stare for a moment. I go up the steps slowly; I have heard that this weapon is evil's bane. If Link truly did kill me in the future, this weapon would have done such a thing. I wait for a moment. I feel as though someone should stop me. It is all too easy; swaying the king, gaining the Spiritual Stones… nothing comes that easy, not even to a king.
I hold the grip of the blade tight. I then powerfully thrust it out of the pedestal. Just as I raise my arms there is a gut wrenching holler behind me. I turn to see Link; eyes wide and toppled over. I smile to him and lower my chin. Suddenly, something is wrong. I feel light rush through my body. Everything around me brightens. I let out a holler before I dissipate. For what seems to be eternity, I am gone. I am nothing and yet everything.
When my moment of being all and nothing is gone, I am standing in a strange place. I stand on a platform that seems to be suspended in the air.
"Ganondorf," a voice says. I turn completely around and see an old man in a robe standing on a different platform. My surprise is obvious, though he does not take notice. "Why are you here? How did you get in?" his voice demands, his mustache and eyebrows move to each syllable
I look around the area suspiciously. I speak slowly and cautiously, "Who are you and where am I?"
"This is the Sacred Realm," his voice makes my eyes dart back to him. "Why are you here?" he arched a think eyebrow at me.
I purse my lips and turn in a circle to get a better look at the realm. I tongue my canines and then smile, "Answer my questions and I'll answer yours."
The man's nostrils flare as he tightens his lips into one thin, straight line. He folds his arms across his chest.
I give a mocking laugh, "So," I narrow my eyes at him with a smile, "this is the place where the Sages shall trap me in?" I strut along the edges of the platform, "it's not that bad. Though," I sigh, "all of eternity seems a rather long time to stay in one place…"
"You will be stuck in here with pain and heartache," he snarls.
I laugh, "I have lived most of my life with such a thing!" I make a fist with my hand and hold it up to him, "I-,"
"You say that like you are some kind of martyr," he smiles.
"What is your name?" I say through gritted teeth.
The old man shrugs, "Rauru," he looks to what I presume to be the 'sky', "I am the Sage of Light, one of the seven Sages to stop you on your path of self-righteousness."
I act as if I have ignored his words. I pace on the platform and then turn to him, "Rauru," I smile, "I played the Song of Time, and I have taken the Master Sword out of its resting place… why have I not traveled though time?"
"There is no way for you to move forward in time," he shrugs.
"Then what am I here for? Where will I go," if anywhere, I want to add.
Rauru sighs and looks at me with his deep, blue eyes, "You cannot move forward, you have disturbed the timeline." He shakes his head, "You are lucky that the Sacred Realm is not capable of holding you without the other Sages."
"Has time stopped? Have I destroyed the entire world thanks to entering this place?" I laugh pretending to joke. It would not surprise me; nothing seems to surprise me anymore.
"Tell me Ganon," he narrows his eyes, "how much of your life do you remember?"
I stand for a moment puzzled by the question. I scratch the back of my head, "I remember as much as the average man does."
He shakes his head, "Perhaps the goddesses have a different path for you to follow then." He sighs, "Do you have regrets?" I stay silent. He turns his head as if he hears something and then he nods. "The goddesses have decided you are capable of correcting something… something you have done in the past." He points a finger at me, "They are giving you a second chance," he shakes it from side to side, "if you are incapable of correcting what it is that needs to be set right, your fate will be set in stone."
Suddenly, the light fills inside of me and then I am gone, yet again. I awake in the temple exhilarated yet exhausted. I feel like a fawn taking its first steps into the world as I stand. I stumble down the steps too weak to even stand without a sway. I walk out into the main room of the temple. Something has happened; something big.
Please, leave a comment and let me know what you think so far. This is where things REALLY pick up. Action and death is about to hit you in the back of the head with a baseball bat. The following chapters shall be the reason this is rated T.
