Chapter 23
Life or Death?
The Trial of Ordeals! Part 1

~.~.~.~

Thank you for the existance of guardians!

Gets me every time how fast they can heal even broken bones but I had to fight the pinks tooth and claw for the last one they had in stock. Crazy Gerudo she-cats! Oh well, they are my sisters so what can you do?

Heck, I'm just thankful I had Lilda and Midna with me.

But, as I get ready to set out to the Cave of Ordeals...by the Elementals' urging I stop after putting on my Master Pendant. Memories of what happened a few days ago from the battle with Zant haunted my mind. I saw things, things I couldn't quite explain.

"I-if my memories are valid...then what Powerstar said makes sense. It would explain so much."I whispered under my breath briskly.

That was when Midna showed up from my shadow.

"Hey...why so glum? normally you'd jump at the chance to clear away to the Great Fairy's fountain."chuckled Midna as she lazed about in the air.

I simply give a sigh as I snapped on mirror shield leg-guards, "Midna. twilia called me her precious wolf."

"So, what of it?"chrilled the Twilight Princess.

"I only remember one cat that ever called me that with such affection."this instantly got Midna's attention as I went on, "I-I think she-she might be..."

"Out with it you stupid wolf!"sighed Midna in frustration.

Slowly I look at her with eyes filled with so many mixed emotions. "Should I...should I tell her? should Midna know about the memories that were returned to me during that battle with Zant and what Powerstar said to me?...yes, no secrets!"I thought as I regained my confidences.

"Twilia might be my mother."that's all it took for Midna to connect the dots before gaping at me.

"Th-then that means...SHINING TRIBE OF ENDLESS STARS! You're-"

"Yes, I'm the twin brother of Powerstar, Wisdomstar, and Couragestar if this is true."

"Then that makes you-"

"Yeah, a Golden Leader; a winged deity."I growled in frustration, "But everything is so confusing. I hope to find answers while I train."

"Well, things just got interesting."laughed the imp.

**Bleach OST - Ditty For Daddy**

I can't help but yowl in panic as Midna and I make a break for it.

"When Nabooru said this would train us to the bone she wasn't kidding around!"squealed Midna.

"My aunty never kids about that! SHE'S A FUCKING WHITE FOR STARCLAN'S SAKES!"I snapped as I still ran like crazy to avoid the swarm of keese.

"JUST SHUT UP AND RUN!"Midna snapped right back.

Man, I don't mind eating keese but this many fire keese is a royal pain in the butt! And it doesn't help matters that Nabooru had to go off and say "Don't get yourself killed in there!" before I left.

"Look, Link! I can see the door finally!"chirped Midna franticly.

"About time dammit!"I huffed before we jump in and it closes behind us.

But unfortunately that is when we reach the ledge and look down. And I we both groan in annoyance. For down below were some pesky Tektites. "That's it, it is official...I HATE THIS TRIAL OF ORDEALS!"I thought.

**Bleach OST - Splash Boogie**

"Oh man, why does it have to be tektites?"I whined, going into a depression corner.

"What? all they do is hop about like stipud scarried rabbits."pointed out Midna.

"But they are considered in the same category as skullutas and Gohma."I whimpered, a shiver going up my spine.

Midna tries desperately to pull me away from a boulder I have attached myself too.

"Let go and get down there!"

"No!"

"Let go!"

"Nope!"

"Wow...you really amaze me Link. You can take on Zant and floating skulls with no trouble. Not to mention the more creepier of the creatures from my realm. Yet, you cower at stupid gaint bugs?"huffed Midna.

"I'm part Shiekah ok! You do the math again, or do I have to remind you that I WAS KILLED BY GOHMA'S SPIDER BITE FASTER THEN YOU CAN SAY ZANT'S A POWER CRAZED FOOL!"I snapped, letting go. But unfortunately that results in us falling and hitting the ground below.

We see stars flash before our eyes. But we get up and I made fast to destroy all off them using everything from bombs to my Powerstar's fire attack.

**Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - Mist OST**

"Oi, Link, check out the engraving on the wall!"called ou Midna as she floated over to the said wall.

I followed and what I saw was a picture of four winged feline beings. In the center was a pitch black being that looked like Twilia and in the backgrounds were different scenery: mountians, waterfall along with rivers and lakes, and then lush forests and winds, finally there was the symbol for time. On the mountains, snarling was what looked like Powerstar. On the waters was a what looked like Wisdomstar in a hunter's crouch with wings ready for flight. The next was a what looked like a winged cat that look like it was relaxing. But the last one caught my eye.

This cat was even fluffier then all four and even Zelda! It had strange markings unlike the others and had no pupils at all. But its wings were spread in anger with fangs snarling.

"Link...what are you doing?"she asked as I touched the time one.

"There's some writings here. And I can understand them."I purred.

"So, what'd they say light-fur?"pestered the twili.

I calmly skimmed them over and closed my eyes, searching my memory banks of Link Andore. I smiled devious as my eyes are glowing gold as I spoke.

**Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood - Fifth Laboratory OST**

"Fly forth my kits of life, law, seasons, and time!

Scorch the earth thy powerful will and bring forth the mountains,

Rain on the earth with your wisdom thy waterof law,

Breath the breath of life thy couragous wind,

And bestoy the rivers of time thy kit of fierce hero.

For thou are the creators and the balancers."

Midna just stared in amazement as her friend read this ancient script and was surprised to see these strange red stripes and blue marks appear on his face. "Could it be...nah, it wouldn't be poissible. Tempest stays in a mortal form. I guess we'll find out one way or another."thought Midna.

"Come on Link, lets go."Link nodded.

"Get the feeling the truth to Hyrule's creation is here in this cave."I purred as we continued on.

"Better believe it!"

After so many more floor we finally reach the Fairy Chamber. I leap down, looking like a train wreck. I went into the spring and low and behold was a beautiful great fairy with a blue robe and navy blue hair and navy blue eyes. She was of my hieght and those butterfly golden wings took my breat away. But it was the scent that caught my attention.

"N-Navi?"I asked hopefully.

The fairy smiled in both surprise and delight, "Link? oh my StarClan! it really is you!"

"Look at you, no wonder I never could find you. You became this!"I laughed in delight.

"Yeah, any how, I welcome to the Cave of Ordeals ofbrave hero. I am the Great Fairy, Navinia, I reign over all the fairies of this sector as their queen."explained Navi before touchin noses with Link, "In praise of showing you have power to stand on your own paws, I shall release fairies onto Ordon Spring."she purred.

"Cool! Thanks Navi."he purred, giving his trademark smirk.

Navi nodded, "Anything for my best friend, now if you still have those hover-braces I'd use them now."

"Thanks Navi I'm happy we got to meet again!"I called as we raced out.

The rest of the cave was pretty much the same. We kicked monster ass and found more clues towards this Temporalstar guy. But this trail, I know is far from over.

What lies in store next? who knows...
