Alaia Skyhawk: Hi all, here's chapter 14.

I don't own the Zelda series or anything associated with it. I do however own this story and any OCs, so please don't steal them.

Chapter 14: New Role.

Tetra frowned in confusion.

"A secret?"

Eidan nodded.

"Yes, now if you would allow me to explain. Long ago after leaving Hyrule, the Hero of Time returned with a family. Knowing that evil may seek them out he told only the queen of his return and where his family could be found. That knowledge was then passed down through the generations to the present day. My family are the hero, Link's, descendants. Just as your family had the tradition of naming all the princesses Zelda, though that has been changed, My family has the tradition of naming the first born boy every two generations Link, as a way to honour and remember our ancestor."

As Tetra stood there with a stunned look on her face, Link looked at his father.

"You never told me that before when you explained our family heritage to me and Aryll."

Tetra finally regained her voice.

"Well that's certainly a surprise, but it's also rather fitting, that Link should finish what our ancestors started." She walked over to her seat and sat back down as Link and Eidan settled themselves in two of the other chairs. "I still wish we had more records of our history than those we've managed to dredge from the forgotten corners of our home."

Eidan smiled.

"Now that is something we can help with." Tetra looked up in surprise. "My family were entrusted with what books and records could be saved from the Royal Library when the kingdom was sealed away. Those records are now in a hidden library, deep in the Fairy Forest on Outset Island, where my family has guarded it." Seeing the look on her face, he added. "But I'm afraid the books will have to stay there, once copies can be made those can be assembled into a library here on Windfall. But it's best that the originals are kept where they are as they are delicate with age and would be irreparably damaged if they were moved here."

Tetra sighed.

"You're right. I'll arrange for a pair of scribes to go to Outset as soon as possible to begin making copies."

Link watched as a thoughtful look came to his father's face at seeing her disappointment.

"What are you thinking of, Dad?"

Eidan glanced at his son before turning to the young queen.

"I'm well versed in the knowledge contained in the library, If you like I could remain here and tutor you. I knew your mother well, we met often while out sailing the seas. It's the least I can do to make sure you get to learn what she never had the chance to tell you herself."

Tetra looked tearful for a moment as she remembered her mother. She then gave Eidan a grateful smile.

"Thank you. I'd be honoured to accept your offer."

Link smiled wryly.

"I know Grandma and Aryll aren't gonna be too happy about this, what with you only just being reunited with us, but I agree with you. I'll let them know when I get back to Outset in a couple of weeks."

Tetra got up out of her chair.

"Let them know that I'll make sure he visits home every couple of months. I can take him on the Sea Spirit so I won't be missing out on any lessons. Plus I can go to the library at the same time." Seeing the look of agreement on their faces she asked. "Would either of you like to join me for supper while rooms are prepared for you?" She smiled as both of them nodded. "Follow me."

Several days later found Link at Eyestone. The village was on the northern side of Stone Watcher Island, hence the name Eyestone. It was a small village built in a cluster on the ridge below the remains of the ruined tower where the strange head-shaped rock had once been. The rock was now part way down the island's eastern side having been thrown there by Link during his journey to defeat Ganondorf.

Link had collected the new parcels and handed out his first load, for the floating villages of Sea Crest and Sea Spire, to the merchants who travelled to those settlements. As he looked around he decided to go sit on the beach for a while. He had been sailing hard for several weeks and he just wanted to spend some time to himself, looking out at the sea from the shore. He found himself a rock and sat on the sunward side, leaning back against it. Eventually the warmth of the sun and the sound of the waves gently washing against the shore sent him into a peaceful slumber as gulls flew overhead.

The three Golden Goddesses turned to one another. Din looked at her sisters with determination.

"We have an obligation to fulfil the wish and this is a way for us to do so. Let us begin now, lest second thoughts cause us to falter."

Kyayna looked on as her daughters linked hands and began to glow as the power gathered between them.

And so it begins...

..--.-,-.-.--,-,--.-.-.-,--.-,-,-.-,--.

In the dark depths, somewhere between the ocean floor and the surface, something shifted. Moments later something began floating towards the surface. Once there it broke the surface and two gasps echoed though the air. The two figures moved their webbed hands through the water holding themselves in place as they looked around in confusion. Bewildered, one of them spoke.

"What in the name of Lord Jabun is going on?"

But no answer came as the ocean rippled around them...

..--.-,-.-.--,-,--.-.-.-,--.-,-,-.-,--.

Alaia Skyhawk: Heh heh, here comes some mystery. So who are the two figures? Why are they there? Only I know... (Evil Grin) Yes I know this is a bit short, but the next one is going to be LOOONG! I'll update soon.
