Chapter Eleven: The Gypsy lady
A drum pounded recklessly throughout the halls. A sigh escaped the lips of Rhaine. Her eyes twiched. She squinted to try to keep from waking up, but knew it was a lost cause. She sighed once more. She slowly sat up. A gasp echoed around the temple as she realized where she was. She shot her head to the side to see Link still laying on the floor with his sword still in hand. Rhaine laughed.
"Oh no! Link a monster is going to get me! Help help!" Rhaine squealed embetween giggles. Link quickly stood up sword in hand and flung violently in the air. Rhaine burst out laughing behind him. He groggily turned around. He gave a slight smile before sheathing his sword.
"Yes, Ha ha, very funny. Next time I just won't save your sorry butt." Link collected himself. He looked around the temple. He noticed something off. Something about the marble walls, or maybe the gleaming floor. He blinked. What was it? What was wrong with this scene. He glanced past Rhaine and to the three treasures. They still revolved as always. He sighed.
"What are you looking for?" Rhaine inquired.
"I'm not sure." Link replied. Link held his hand out to Rhiane offering more than a warm touch. Rhaine accepted as he pulled her into a tight embrace. "Are you ready?" He whispered as his breath tickled the tip of her ear lightly. Rhaine did not understand.
"For what?" She asked him back.
"To see what lies behind the temple doors." Rhiane sighed. She had wandered. Did this Hyrule look the same as the other the other one?
"Well it cannot be to bad can it?" Rhaine pulled away to gaze into Link's deep blue eyes. She was mesmerized my the concern and caring that seemed to soak his pupils. He nodded.
The two walked hand and hand to the tall doors blocking the outside world. Link walked to the door pushing allowing the sun's rays to cascade across the reflective floor.
The two stepped out the doors to find nothing amiss. The trees were greener, flowers were blooming everywhere, and...The temple was covered in it. Vines trickeled across the bricks leaving little detail behind. An eerie feeling posesed Link.
"Something isn't right here." He said keeping a watchfull eye. Then they began walking to the market. As the two entered instead of finding a fountain in the center of the busaling people, they found two statues. They walked closer to investigate.
The statues were at least fifteen feet high. There were people adorning the top in natural poses. Link and Rhaine both gasped at the same time.
They stared at themselves in bewilderment. Then they glanced at each other with questions dancing in their eyes. They both walked around the statues in order to get an all around grasp of them. The Hylians around them started at them curiously. Rhaine walked to one of men, her eye brows narrowed.
"Who are these of?" She asked inquiringly. The man she had asked turned ghost white before answering.
"You." He simply said before shaking fiercely and falling to the ground in a faint. Rhaine was to shocked to care. She ran back to Link with many eyes following her.
"Link, Link, Its us! Its us!" He turned to her.
"I do not understand this." He gazed around the quiet market-place. "Can someone help us out here?" He asked into the void. An old women came forward.
She was very old for the wrinkles that decorated her face gave way her age. Her white hair fell around her fragile body to her feet. She wore a long robe of dark blue and nothing more. Her body was not at all crippled as she stood straight up, but with a staff in hand as tall as her. Her hight was quite remarkable in fact. At least six feet.
"Come with me, I have been waiting for you two. Quite a long time." Her eyes gleamed at Rhaine with much knowledge. Rhaine felt a sudden...blockage. Difficult to explain.
The others parted a path for them, as they followed the rather strange woman to the ally and into her home. The house was littered with garments of various colors, crystal balls of many sizes, and jewels were streamed around rounded tables as if to show the massiness was intentional. Rhaine felt at home. As if she had lived there for ages.
"What's going on?" Link asked after the woman had sat down behind one of the rounded tables. She sighed and folded her hands in front of her-self.
"Sit down, Sit down. A story cannot be told to a standing audience." Rhaine and Link did as they were told. "So first off, what have you two been told."
"What do you mean?" Rhaine asked.
"I mean, you were sent here right? What did they tell you?" The woman said as if annoyed.
"Before we tell you anything, I think you need to tell us who you are." Link said edgedly.
"Fine, fine, I am..." She paused as if searching for a far off name. "I am Kat." She said eyeing Rhaine. Rhaine was untrusting. She decided to venture in. She cleared her mind. Nothing. The woman was blank. Rhaine didn't understand, a thought or anything should have been running through. At least a memory, or a word, but nothing. Nothing but silence. Then Rhiane wondered. Could this gypsy woman be blocking her. She sighed in stress.
"Whatever" Rhaine heaved. Link glanced at her awkwardly. Her vision became clouded, as did her eyes. The green became dull.
"We were told this would be the exact same Hyrule, as the one we left. That is not the case." Link paused and tried to organize his thoughts. This did not work. "What were those statues? Who were those people, I've never seen them before. Why is the Temple of Time covered in vines and disrespected. And why have you been waiting for us?" Link took a deep breath as if trying to ask more questions.
"One, the statues are you. The people are meaningless. The temple has been forgotten for ages. And because it is pretty obvious you are lost." Kat said uncaringly. "To answer more questions before you ask. This Hyrule is two hundred years ahead of the other one."
Link and Rhaine gasped again today. "So why are there statues of us?" Rhaine asked confused. Kat sighed.
"Why are there ever statues? A long time ago you two did something important."
"No we haven't" Link said. The woman laughed.
"Link, you for one are the 'Hero of Time.' And you two just haven't done anything important yet, but don't forget you are going to destroy the triforce correct?" Link flinched. Kat knew a little to much.
"How did you know that?" Rhaine asked recovering from shock faster then Link.
"Come on, This is a world of many surprises for you two, but first..." The woman's eyes became shadowed as the lights dimmed around them. A crystal ball in the center of the table radiated a blue shine. "You must travel to a place one of you grew up. You must visit an 'old' friend and help the thirsty..." All the lamps went out. Rhaine glanced at the crystal ball and could see only a large tree. Kat's voice echoed her last words and then there was once again nothing. Everything went blank.
"Where am I?" Rhaine said to the white abyss. Her voice only answered her with the same question. She walked a few feet. She found Kat suddenly appearing in front of her. "Wha!" Rhaine squealed as she fell to her butt.
"Stay out of my head Rhaine. I will not allow such a child to see the wisdom I have found. You will go with Link, and in the end..." Kat lowered her self to Rhiane's level. Her voice pleading. "Please say yes. Say yes for everyone's sake."
Rhaine blinked and found her self back in the messy home. Kat no longer sat opposite her. She turned to Link who wasn't dazed by her suddenly appearing, or had she really left?
"Come on he said." He stood up and walked to the door. "I have to go home."
