Author's Note: I really want to continue Chapter 10's ending but I also wanted to shed light on some back story for Aghanim. I (er, Link) mentioned that he was a Hylian so what happened? Why is he doing what he is doing. How did Mikau and Darmani get involved. I from now until my next break (spring break) won't be able to upload a chapter or two a day. Maybe one for each of my stories, it would be difficult though. Also, I finally am getting to play Skyrim and Skyward Sword so I want to do that. Hope you enjoy todays chapter! (Also, Pamela is a direct descendant of Pamela in Majora's Mask.)

Chapter XI: Backstory

(Aghanim)

Me: I have lived a long 35 years of life. 32 years ago my mother was killed by my father. My mother was forced to marry my father and to have me. Despite being nothing but another mouth to feed to my father, my mother loved me. We were one of the few families that stayed at the islands of the Great Sea, the remains of South Hyrule. I was only 3 but I still remember to this day as my mother was running away carrying me and my father came behind her with an axe and decapitated my mother. When I grew 10 years old, I stole my father's axe and used it to kill him. I ran away in the direction my mother was running when she was killed. I continued running until I reached the sea. I rented a small boat and sailed in one direction. I kept sailing for hours, then days. I thought I would die but on the fourth day without food or water, I reached land. This land was strange, it wasn't charted and once I stepped foot in it, I instantly fell unconscious. I awoke in a town, it was in front of a huge clock. It was raining. I stood up and walked to the nearest house. I knocked on the door and I was told to come inside by a very old lady.

Stranger: "What were you doing outside? It's a hard rain! You are as thin as a stick, when was the last time you ate?"

Me: "I haven't drank or eaten anything in 4 days."

Stranger: "Oh my goodness! Here, take these potatoes and have some water. My name is Pamela. What is your name?"

Me: "My name is Aghanim. I was wondering where I am. Am I still in Hyrule?"

Pamela: "Hyrule? What is that, this is Clock Town in Termina!"

Me: "Ok... thanks for the information and food. I have to go now."

Pamela: "Be careful, rainfall has become very common and when it rains here, it rains hard."

Me: Pamela was nice enough to let me have an umbrella. I didn't know where I would go so I just walked. I was eventually stopped by a guard. "Can I get through?"

Guard: "Children are not allowed through."

Me: I didn't know what came over me, it wasn't pleasant but it made me say words I didn't understand. Instantly the guard fell over. I walked right through and I was heading towards a bay area. I was almost there when I saw a small rock thing in my path.

Rock Thing: "Hello. I'm Darmani the goron!"

Me: "Hello, I'm Aghanim. What are you doing out here?"

Darmani: "Hello. I'm Darmani the goron!"

Me: It apparently only knew how to say that much. I started to continue towards the bay but the rock thing looked like it was going to cry so I just decided to let it travel with me. A bit later it stopped raining so I threw away my umbrella. I found this fish thing on the ground.

Fish Thing: "Please help me... I'm dying and no one will take my baby. His name is Mikau. Please help me."

Me: "Ok..." She died in front of me and I picked up the baby. Being full handed I sort of anted to have a way back to the islands of the great sea. I retraced my steps and walked back to the clock. I laid down and with the young children in my arms I was knocked out once more. I awoke on my boat with the two babies too.

Me: 10 years later, I was 20 and the babies grew up. Mikau was about 12 and Darmani was apparently 43. Gorons, I found, age much slower. Mikau had grown to liking legends and he told me one legend about a hero, a hero of winds. I wasn't sure drove me to do it, but I felt I had to find the villain in the legend. I had the same feeling in Termina. I learned much of what I needed to know to get basically an ancient rock out of the bottom of the ocean.

Me: Finally, today, after everything I did for Mikau and Darmani, they leave me with the only two things I would need to get that stupid rock out of the ocean! If I would ever see them again, I would kill them at first sight!
