Mirror of Nightmare
Chapter 24: Master Sword
-The Dream
He is in a mysterious place…
He is walking in the mysterious place, holding two swords in both of his hands.
He walks until he reaches the altar. He kneels down and prays for a while…
And then he says…
"… Is this the right thing that the god wants me to do?"
He puts away his swords and picks two orbs up from the altar. One is white while another is black.
He raises those orbs over his head while mumble some spell.
Suddenly, the orbs start glowing, and they turn into the living creature!
The creature from the white orb is the white, graceful dragon.
The creature from the black orb is the black, scary dragon.
Upon the twin dragons come back, he says
"Welcome back, my friends."
"What are you trying to do?" The black dragon asks.
"We failed to protect the tower, so we returned into the stones and will never wake up again, but why did you wake us up?" The white dragon asks.
"Answer us, the Mysterious Demon." Both dragons ask.
-Awakening
Link wakes up in surprise after his dream ends. The morning has come to the land of Hyrule. He thinks of his last dream.
'My last dream is the 6th one… Wait…' Link thinks about his last dream before he realizes something.
'It is the sequel to the 3rd one! And… Those dragons mention the name of the unknown man in my dream as…' Link thinks.
'Mysterious Demon!' Link thinks.
'What is it?! It looks like that he revived the dragons who had failed in their mission from those stones… But… What is he planning to do?' Link thinks.
"Anyway, at least I finally know that the 3rd and 6th dream is the story of Mysterious Demon… But… Who is the fighting man in the 1st and 4th one and the feral man in the 2nd and 5th?" Link thinks.
He changes his dress into his formal green tunic, picks his sword and shield and leaves his room from the 2nd floor of the inn to the lobby of the inn. At the lobby, he sees some strangers.
Normally, the guests who will rest at this inn will come alone or two, but Link sees a group of 8 Pokemon is going to rest in this hotel!
Those 8 Pokemon, the first one is the lizard-like Pokemon with blades at his elbows. The second one is the fire-breathing Pokemon with two large wings and fiery tail. The third one is the crocodile-like Pokemon with a large body. The fourth one is the small lizard-like Pokemon with a frill at his neck. The fifth one is the dinosaur-like Pokemon with glittering crystal around her body. The sixth one is the half-dragon-half-shark Pokemon. The seventh one is the prehistoric bird Pokemon. And the last one is the armored Pokemon.
"Link! Today you wake up very early!" Navi who appears from nowhere says.
"Yes, because today is the important day for us." Rucas who follows Navi says.
While Navi and Rucas are talking, Link hears the conversation between those 8 Pokemon.
"Maxnet, how about our room for tonight?" The prehistoric bird Pokemon asks.
"Blast it! We have to wait for the afternoon before there are the rooms available for us!" The armored Pokemon answers.
"So, what should we do while waiting for the afternoon?" The frilled lizard Pokemon asks.
"We have to go and meet Princess Zelda" The Pokemon with glittering skin answers.
'Meet with Princess Zelda?' Link thinks.
"Hm! Sound easy, but how can we get pass the guards?" The fire-breathing Pokemon asks.
"Hm…" The Pokemon with glittering skin thinks.
"Do you think that they will allow us to get into the castle if we show this?" The crocodile Pokemon says and picks the stone from his bag.
Seeing that stone makes Link shocks, because that stone is…
"Yeah… The Sword of Justice entrusted this Zora's Sapphire to us in order to give it to Princess Zelda as a proof of us…" The bladed lizard Pokemon says.
"Yes, it will work for the princess, but will the guards believe us if we show that stones?" The half-dragon half-shark Pokemon says.
"Yeah, they will not believe that five of you are the Sacred Children." The Prehistoric bird Pokemon says.
'Sacred Children?!' Link thinks.
"Then, what should we do?" The frilled lizard says.
"Hm…" 8 Pokemon thinks.
'The conversation between them… Don't tell me that they are… the group of Sacred Children?!' Link thinks.
"Hey! Link!" Navi calls.
"Lost in though, Hm?" Rucas says.
"Come on! Let's go and meet Princess Zelda!" Navi says.
"Hm?!" Navi's voice turns the attention of 8 Pokemon to Link, Navi and Rucas.
"They are going to meet Princess Zelda?" The bladed lizard Pokemon mumbles.
"Hey! Stranger!" The crocodile Pokemon says and walks up to Link, Navi and Rucas along with the bladed lizard Pokemon and fire-breathing Pokemon.
"Did you say that you are going to meet Princess Zelda?" The fire-breathing Pokemon asks.
"Hey! Look! Listen! This is none of your business!" Navi says.
"What's wrong with this annoying light?" The bladed lizard Pokemon says.
"Please, Jedi, Ordin, Nardal, stop doing that!" The frilled lizard says.
"They are just a group of vagabond, Link, let's go." Navi says, but the crocodile Pokemon, fire-breathing Pokemon and bladed Pokemon blocks their way.
"Hey! Get out of our way!" Navi says.
"No unless…" The fire-breathing Pokemon says, but the Pokemon with glittering skin interrupts him.
"Ordin, stay back, let me do this." The glittering skin Pokemon says before she turns her attention to Link, Navi and Zelda.
"Please forgive us for our terrible manner, but we heard that you are going to meet Princess Zelda, would you mind if we join you?" The glittering skin Pokemon says.
"Then, who are you guy?" Rucas asks.
"… We are the group of Sacred Children." The glittering skin Pokemon says. Hearing this makes Navi and Rucas shocks.
"What?! You are… The Sacred Children?!" Rucas says.
"I understand if you don't believe us…" The glittering skin Pokemon says.
"Then, do you have any proof that you are the Sacred Children?" Rucas asks.
After hearing Rucas's question, the crocodile Pokemon shows the Zora's Sapphire to Link, Navi and Rucas.
"This stone is the proof of our identity, but I know that you, who are just a commoner, will not know what is this stone." The crocodile Pokemon says.
"Hey! Isn't this the Zora's Sapphire, one of three Spiritual Stone?!" Navi says. Her word shocks everyone.
"What?! How do you know?" The armored Pokemon asks.
"So, you are truly the Sacred Children! You come very late! We had waited for you for almost a week!" Navi says.
"What? Wait for us?" The frill lizard says.
"Before knowing any further, let's go and meet Princess Zelda!" Navi says.
-At Hyrule Castle
At Hyrule Castle, Zelda and Iris are reading the history book about the land of Irtha.
"Zelda!"
After the voice, Navi appears along with Link, Rucas and 8 strangers.
"Navi? Oh! Those Pokemon…" Zelda says and looks at 8 strangers.
"Of course!" Navi says.
"You are the group of Sacred Children, right?" Zelda asks.
"Yes, your highness." Five of them answer.
"My name is Princess Zelda of Hyrule. I have been waiting for your arrival for a long time." Zelda says.
"Yeah, we finally made it to here." One of the strangers says.
"Hey! Don't be a mannerless Pokemon! You should introduce yourself first!" Navi says.
"Yes, my name is Jedi the Sceptile, the Sacred Children from Meraldia." The bladed lizard Pokemon says.
"I am Ordin the Charizard, the Sacred Children from Bisnus." The fire-breathing Pokemon says.
"The name's Nardal the Feraligatr, Sacred Children from Phyrine." The crocodile Pokemon says.
"My name is Ellisk the Heliolisk, the Sacred Children from Zaston." The frill neck lizard says.
"And I am Glacia the Aurorus, the Sacred Children from Lapice, please to meet you." The glittering skin Pokemon says.
After the Sacred Children finish introducing themselves, Zelda speaks up.
"So, if you finally made it here, I thought you are ready to meet the god, right?" Zelda says.
"Of course." Ordin answers.
"Even thought you will have to sacrifice yourself?" Zelda says.
"… We had accepted our fate since the first moment that we became the Sacred Children." Ellisk answers.
"Very well…" Zelda says, but Navi speaks up first.
"Hey! Only five of you that introduced yourself, what about the rest three?"
"… You are such an annoying fairy." The prehistoric bird Pokemon says.
"… I hate fairy." The half-dragon half-shark says.
"We are the mercenary group that guard the Sacred Children during their journey. My name is Maxnet the Aggron, the leader of this mercenary group." The armored Pokemon says.
"I am Soryl the Aerodactyl." The prehistoric bird says.
"… Terrus the Garchomp." The half-shark half-dragon says.
"Then we shall go to the Palace of Legend to meet the god now." Zelda says.
"Princess Zelda, our master entrusted us with this." Nardal says and hands over the Zora's Sapphire to Zelda.
"Ah! Isn't this the Zora's Sapphire?" Zelda says.
"Yes, our master told us that this is the key to open the gate to the Palace of Legend." Jedi says.
"Wait, it means that the Palace of Legend is located in the Sacred Realm of Temple of Time?!" Navi says.
"… The key that will open our path is 3 Spiritual Stone. You have the Zora's Sapphire. And I have…" Zelda says and shows everyone a glittering stone.
"That's Goron's Ruby!" Navi says.
"But… We need one more Spiritual Stone…" Zelda says.
"Do you have any idea about where is it?" Rucas asks.
"…" Zelda says nothing.
"… Is the last stone that you are missing an emerald?" Iris says.
"Yes, the Kokiri's Emerald." Link says.
After hearing this, Iris shows everyone the glittering stone.
"That's the Kokiri's Emerald!" Navi says.
"But… How did you get that?" Zelda asks.
"I don't know, I found it in my place." Iris says.
'Mysterious…' Link thinks.
"Anyway, let's go to Temple of Time!" Navi says.
-At Temple of Time
Zelda places three Spiritual Stone in the altar at the entrance to the Sacred Realm, and then Link plays the Song of Time.
After Link finishes playing the Song of Time, the gate to the Sacred Realm opens.
"Finally." Rucas says.
In the Sacred Realm, there is an altar, with a sword lies there.
"Hey! That sword!" Navi says.
"Yes, the Master Sword that the Hero of Time used." Zelda says.
"But the Hero of Time left our land long time ago and never to return again, right?" Ellisk says.
"Hey! The Hero of Time that you are talking about is standing next to me!" Navi says.
"What?!" Five Sacred Children and three mercenaries say in surprise.
"His name is Link, the Hero of Time. And I am Navi, Link's partner." Navi says.
"I am Rucas the Lucario, I am the friend of Link." Rucas says.
"So, the Hero of Time is alive… How interesting…" Terrus and Soryl mumble.
"Link, you should draw that sword. The road from now on will be difficult, but the Master Sword will aid you." Zelda says.
Link steps to the altar. He is standing in front of the sword that he used when he was 17.
Link lays his hands on the hilt of the sword, and then he draws it!
Upon the sword has drawn from the altar, the sword emits the mysterious light around the room!
After the light disappears, Link looks at the Master Sword and raises it over his head.
Now the Master Sword had returned to its owner's hands…
