Is this Heaven???
Leon's back and with good news. I was feeling tired of writing in the same way, so I tried a different approach. So, just for this chapter, everything will be first person Link. Tell me what you think about it. Oh yeah, I don't own Zelda…
Huh? Where am I? Am I dead? No, it can't be… What is this place?
All I can see are a few trees in this open field. Reminds me of Hyrule field. But I was in the forest, wasn't I? What's that light in the Horizon? As I asked myself what was going on, I heard a soft voice, and angelic voice. It spoke in whispers but I coud hear it.
"Link…Chosen Hero, hear our words. Long ago, when hyrule was but a dark and uninhabet earth, we came and created the skies and gave life to this extinct planet. But as we gave this planet life, it began to corrupt." As she said that, I saw a small shrub grow, but then a small flame ignited it. It was only a corner I thoguth, but it feels like she heard my thoughts.
"That tiny spark of corruption started contaminating the land, slowly but surely growing stronger." I saw how the shrub immediately set ablaze, creating a mini inferno. I could feel the intense heat overtake me. It was, I can't explain what it was, but whatever it was that I felt, it made me tremble.
"No longer is it a tiny spark, but a huge flame that can make even the strongest warriors tremble with fear. Do you still think it to be a little fire?"
I could barely speak. That feeling of dread that had overtaken me held me back, but somehow I found the words and the courage to say them. "No, but it can be doused…"
"No…we cannot douse it, for it is a shadow. Just like if there is light, there'll be a shadow, so long as there is good in the land, there will be evil and corruption. " I still couldn't see who was talking to me. The light that emanated from her blocked me from seeing her true form.
"Do not try to look at me, lest you remain blind for the rest of your days. Trust me, but for now, just hear my words. To weaken the corruption, we created the underworld, justr like we created the dark void."
"So they are not the same?" Now I was really confused.
"No. The dark void is a place where neither good nor evil can exist, a lifeless prison. The underworld, however, is where all evil souls and spirits gather. We have no control of it since it was created. How ever, should you manage to defeat their lord, we can seal the underworld and forbid this crossing, like it has been done for thousands of years."
"But if it was locked, what happened?"
"A fool, searching for the forsaken promise of power opened those gates, but now he lies there, condemned for all eternity. It was Aganim, a shadow of Ganondorf."
"Huh? A shadow of…Ganondorf?!!!!" that could not be true. Ganon had been sealed away. I remember it. Saria, Darunia, Ruto, Nabooru, Impa and Rauru, along with princess Zelda, all combined their powers to seal him away at the dark void.
"Hero…The Dark Void is no more. Since Aganim destroyed the seal separating our worlds, Legion, the dark overlord of hell, and his strongest advisors destroyed the gates and released Ganon. However, they intend to kill him once he gathers the Triforce pieces, but he is too blind to notice. Only your courage can save him."
"S-s-save him?"
"Yes. Only when Courage, Wisdom and Power work as one, can you defeat him."
I heard a huge growl in the distance. It seemed to come from every direction. North, South, East and West.
"However, you will need all the help you can get. I do not have enough strength to help you now, but gather my sisters and we shall aid you. For now I lend you the strength of the elements!"
"Grrrr. Link is it?"
Whoa! Was that a tiger speaking to me?
"Grr. Yes it was, you imbecile!"
Great, he's friend—oh shit he's staring at me. I think I'll be dinner
"If you keep that up, we will nourish on your bones!"
"Ahh! A dragon?!"
"What about us, huh? I'll roast ya if you ignore me again!"
"Huh? What the hell! A phoenix and is that a snake on a turtle? I thought you were going to lend me the powers of the elements, not the circus sideshow!"
"Do not insult them" She said. "For they are the Guardians of the elements. There are four humans, two of which you already know, who can awaken them and command their powers. Go to their temples…one in the lake…one in the mountains…one in the desert…and one in the forest. There you shall awaken them and exterminate Legion!"
"please, tell me one last thing. Who are you?"
"I am Din!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" A huge flash of light left me almost blind, but I saw her- a beautiful woman with long hair. I could barely see her outline but just like the legends, her hands were blazing with the flames of courage!
"Link! Are you alright?"
"Huh? Saria? Where am I?"
"You're in the forest, dimwit."
"Thanks for caring, Raiku, wait what? In the forest? But what happened to the shrub? What happened to Din?"
"Whoo, you should take a breather. I think that poison was stronger than all the beer we had last time. Hehe" Smirked Leon, like he always did.
Saria was looking at me, full of sadness and tears poured from her eyes. I couldn't understand what she was telling me with her voice, cracked because of me. She was worrying about me, crying when she saw me stab myuself and fall. Hmm…Maybe it was al just a dream and I should forget about it.
"Link!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Whoa, what was that? Was that…Din? Maybe I should follow her words and belive what she told me. Yes that's for the best. But for now, I'll need my strength…zzz…
Well, it sure was fun writing first person view for a change, but I think I'll stick with third person. That don't mean you won't see this again…See ya!
