Chapter 21: Thread
When I saw Zelda, my heart skipped a beat. It was so good to see that familiar face again! However, I could tell that she had something very serious on her mind. I asked her what was wrong and she stated that it was a long story. Everyone taking a seat, she began to explain.
"Okay, so I was researching possibilities and getting pretty desperate, when one night, I had a dream! In my dream, the other two Zeldas appeared. The other princess explained that this was really us communicating via telepathy, so it wasn't really as much of a dream as I had thought. It couldn't last long, though, but she told us to look into legends concerning threads. After that, the dream ended.
"When I looked it up, I discovered that there actually was something called the 'thread of courage'. I was eventually able to pinpoint its exact location using Google maps alongside the legends themselves (plus a few things that only I have access to, hee hee). Apparently, it was created just for the three of you. Although, I decided to wait until all three of you were together until I told you. Get this, though; between then and now, I had yet another dream where I spoke to the other Zeldas.
"Apparently, in the other princess' dimension, there is something called the 'thread of power'. While in the slave master's dimension, there is something called the 'thread of wisdom'. From what I can gather, you have to find these threads and literally sew time back together using them. But then there's the problem of school…' She finished.
That last line had come completely out of nowhere; I didn't know what the word 'school' even meant! 'Slave Link' also looked very confused. Then, finally noticing our confusion, 'future Link' and Zelda began to explain. While Zelda made it sound good, 'future Link' made it sound horrible, explaining it as the reason why he always looked so stressed. I didn't know what to think.
After a while, 'future Link' spoke up and began to ask if it was true that they had the next week off. Zelda confirmed that it was actually the week after. 'Slave Link' and I looked at each other, simply hoping that we had enough time! When we asked if we did, they claimed so. The two future people then began to plot a course that I simply couldn't follow. Although I could read a map, theirs were way too confusing, what with all of the unnecessary lines everywhere, claiming to be roads… 'Slave Link' seemed to be vaguely able to understand it, though.
Suddenly, they claimed to have it perfect. I had to admit that that was rather fast! After looking at the time, Zelda claimed that she should have been home an hour prior. After she left, 'slave Link' sheepishly pointed out that even by horse, we couldn't make it there and back within two days! 'Future Link' simply shrugged it off and claimed that that was why he had a car.
Before we could ask what a car was, he claimed that we should go to bed because he had to get up early for school. Setting 'slave Link' and me up in the spare room, he went to his own. I then reflected on the events of the day. I had concluded that now that we had a goal, we could actually become much more efficient. But for then, all we could do was wait and see what this futuristic world had up its sleeve...
Did you enjoy it? Let me know. I know it sounds (sounds?) like I'm begging, but that's because I kind of am! Please review!
