Hello once again fellow readers, writers, and people who are just bored! Now that I'm in a different time zone, I have no idea whether I'm making my deadlines or not! If I am, whatever. If not, whatever. But my set deadlines stick with the time zone here, so I consider this a new day! And a new day makes for a new chapter!
Enjoy!
Chapter 9: History Repeats
"Mistress Zelda, the preparations are complete." A mysterious and shadowy figure hissed obediently. The figure bowed soon after it spoke.
"Good. Make sure that nothing goes wrong here." Zelda replied, waving off her servant. She was staring at the area above, seeing the bright moon rising into the sky, and the sun setting behind her. She smirked. "Since a God will surely come down to be with us."
"Of course, milady." The shadow figure said. He then melted into the ground, returning back to the Dark World soon after. Zelda reached for her pocket.
"After seven years... I'm finally able to free you, master." Zelda said. She picked out two stones, a white one and a black one. She knew where the third one was, and it needed to remain there.
She felt the white one burn her slightly, since it was a pure stone of light. It contained a spirit that needed to be destroyed in order for it to work. She had captured it herself when in Limbo, and let the other one flee. The dark stone was the real stone of the element of darkness.
No longer was it artificial.
She placed them back in her pocket, making sure that she would not lose such precious items such as these. They are so rare that only one of each exist.
"Soon, I'll take my rightful place with you, master. Dialia will be finished, and your dark world shall reign as you wished." Zelda whispered, almost praying to her master.
Silence. She was glad that was what she heard.
"HYA!" Thundera shouted her next battle cry as she swung her sword in a large arch in front of her. Victoria backflipped to dodge, but Thundera already prepared for that.
"Try to dodge THIS!" Thundera shouted as she preformed her very own and carefully planned out Jump Strike. As she saw it was going to be a hit Victoria wouldn't dodge, she instead hit Victoria's jumping leg with the hilt, just like before.
"AH! OW!" Victoria shouted. Rather than the hilt hitting her leg, the attack instead hit her delicate foot. She jumped around the room, foot in hand and howling in pain.
"...Umm..." Thundera felt sorry for Victoria, but at the same time had never seen anything so funny. She willed herself will all of her might not to smile or even say anything.
"...Ow." Victoria finally said, gently putting her foot back down. She wouldn't care if her leg was stabbed, good arm was stabbed, or even if she was stabbed anywhere else. As long as it was not her foot, she was fine.
"I didn't know your foot was sensitive..." Thundera said. She quickly examined Victoria's foot, wondering why it was so delicate and sensitive.
"Long story." Victoria said. She once more raised her sword and shield, smirking as she did. "You've really improved, Thundera. I'm impressed and proud of you."
"Thank you, Miss Victoria. I try to work the same way you do." Thundera said. Victoria smiled, happy that Thundera had the nimbleness to actually fight like this.
Then, an idea popped into her head.
"Thundera, how about we try archery?" Victoria asked. Thundera paused, but then nodded as she put away the sword. She still held her shield.
"Umm... How do I put the shield on my back?" Thundera asked.
Victoria helped her, placing it on a leather strap she put diagonally across Thundera's chest and back. She even picked up a sword that best suited her fighting style, a long and very sharp sword, and put it on her back with it's sheathe.
She then grabbed a bow and gave it to Thundera. "I want to see if your aim is as good as mine." Victoria said. She put up a few targets, and she picked up her own bow.
Loading the bow with an arrow, she examined the surroundings of the targets. Nothing that could interfere, so she pulled it back slowly. She then quickly fired the bow, hitting dead center at one target. Bulls eye to the T.
Thundera's jaw dropped. It was such a perfect shot, how could she duplicate that? Nevertheless, she tried. She loaded her arrow, pulled back but stopped.
She saw something behind the target.
It was odd, but it seemed like another thing she could shoot. She pulled it back further, hoping the targets were not made of wood. She shot the arrow, and luck seemed to be on her side.
Dead center.
Victoria nodded, very impressed. However, she noticed that the arrow seemed... shorter. It broke through the target.
"Something was behind it, and I planned to kill two birds with one arrow." Thundera explained. Victoria nodded, looking behind the target.
A rat.
"Shot a rat." Victoria said. Thundera smiled, glad she was right. She looked at the rat, and it looked as though it was going to die anyway.
"Shot it in the head, I guess." Thundera spoke. She put away her bow and arrows, surprised that she actually made such a good shot.
"Like I said, you fight like I used to." Victoria said. Thundera smiled, hugging Victoria like a child would to a mother.
Of course, since that is how she saw Victoria.
"Thanks, Miss Victoria." Thundera said, getting a hug back from the violet clad woman.
"You're welcome, Thundera. Anything else you may need training with, you can come and ask me or Vio. But for now, I say we eat something, don't you agree?" Victoria said, petting Thundera's black hair.
Grumble...
Thundera blushed red with embarrassment, laughing nervously and rubbing the back of her head. Victoria chuckled, and they both walked to the great hall where they were to eat their dinner, and Thundera's favorite dessert; that huge chocolate cake.
Soon, nightfall came. The sun set completely, letting it's rays of comforting and radiant light fade to let the moon show. The white light of the moon fell upon the Air kingdom, showing off its true beauty.
Zelda had a bittersweet feeling for the look the moon gave the kingdom.
But that wouldn't matter, since the moon was soon going to be a gateway, rather than a seal. She looked to the castle, where her shadowy form flew over to.
'Now, the kingdom- no, the world will be ours.' Zelda thought as she made her way to the castle.
'And Thundera is the key to it all.'
Thundera looked around her room in the darkness, the moon being her only source of light. She pondered over how her element would be useful, now that she knew how to control it. She also wondered if she was truly the goddess of legend.
Something glinting in the moonlight caught her eye.
She got up from the bed, in her new and now favorite yellow pj's. She walked over to a bookshelf, and pulled out a shiny, yellow book. She looked at the cover.
"The Legend of the Hero."
She wondered what it was all about, so she opened it up on her bed and began reading, whispering so no one could possibly hear.
"Long ago, there was a kingdom of light dubbed Hyrule. The kingdom was given its power due to a sacred relic known to all as the Triforce. When the triforce was whole, the one who touched it could grant their wish, good or bad. A war began to break out, one man receiving a part of the Triforce; The Triforce of Power. The Triforce was then split into two other parts, Wisdom and Courage, and given to two others. Wisdom was given to the ruler of the kingdom, Princess Zelda. Courage was to be given to the hero that would stop the chaos that the man with the Triforce of Power was to create.
Many years had passed, and hero after hero had risen from the most unexpected of places. All of which were named Link. The people of Hyrule called him the "Hero of Time" due to his reputation of reincarnation or even time travel itself. Hyrule is very grateful for the heroes that had risen with much courage to fight monsters and the beast who had the Triforce of Power, named Ganon. Hyrule, since the last hero, had fallen into peace until the next hero is needed."
Thundera closed the book. She had heard the story before... But she didn't know where. She placed it back on the shelf, making sure it was in the same place as before. She climbed back into the bed, ready to get some sleep.
A shadow lurked in the darkness of her room.
"Not even the hero Link will save you this time, little goddess."
