Okay, first things first, HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! AND A LATE HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Now that that's over, I can get to the point. Ha! I lied; there is no point to this! Well, I'm lazy so I'm not writing out review responses. Deal with it.
Speaking of reviews…I can't believe I reached the 100 mark! I love all who reviewed my story!
CHPT:25- Children no More! (At Least on the Outside…)
I opened my eyes and saw blue. Lots and lots of blue.
I sat up slowly and rubbed one of my eyes, then blinked a few times. There were blue waterfalls around me, and platforms with different colors, they were very shiny
"ooooh…shiny" I stared at the purple shiny platform next to me, and all of my memories flooded back to me
I remembered I was in Hyrule, fighting beside Link and Jess…
"Jess…" I said sadly, remembering she wasn't here with me and Link.
I looked around and noticed there was a young man in a green tunic lying close to me…was that Link?! Holy crap did he look different!
Then I looked down at myself
"whoa" I said, I looked incredibly different too
My hair was longer and somehow, I'm guessing magic, my tunic had grown, or I had gotten a new one. I had a
Stratta flew above my head and looked at me "ohmigosh!" she screeched "you're all grown up! You're big now! Ohmigosh! I'm so old!"
I rolled my eyes at Stratta and ignored her
Link stirred, sat up sluggishly, and looked around without a clue
his eyes stopped when they reached me "wh-who are you?" he asked innocently, his voice was much more deep than before "and why is my voice so weird?"
"I'm the goddess Din" I said sarcastically "who do you think I am?"
Link squinted his eyes and stuck out his tongue, as if in deep thought "Saria? Wow you got tall, and your eyes and hair changed color…"
I closed my eyes and hung my head down "no Link, it's me, Sonya"
"Sonya?" he stared for a moment the scrambled backwards away from me in shock "holy sh, what happened to you!?"
"seven years happened to me, and you to, look at yourself"
Link looked down and screamed "what the hell!?"
"colorful vocabulary you've developed there" I laughed "and by the way, nice tights"
Link looked down one more time "why am I wearing tights? That's not normal!"
I started laughing harder at him "your outside may have changed a lot, but you're still the same inside!"
Link took a deep breathe and calmed himself down "you look really different to, what happened to your hat?"
"hmn?" I felt atop my head and noticed my hat was gone, I also noticed the gloves on my hands weren't as bulky as the cheap ones I had before. These ones were still thick, but they were more evened out and left my fingertips exposed
I wished I had a mirror so I could've seen what I looked like, I tried looking in the blue stuff under me, but it made no reflection
"sorry I'm late!" a portly, armless man walked to a golden platform and stepped on it "I was sleeping and my alarm didn't go off, so I'm behind schedule"
Me and Link stared at the obese man "who exactly are you?" Link asked
"oh, right, I'm Ruaru" he brushed himself off and straightened his posture "as you two have already noticed, you are much older, seven years older to be exact, your souls were sleeping in here, in the Realm of Sages" Ruaru paused to let that sink in to our brains "Link, you are the destined Hero of Time, but you were still too young before to be the hero, so we let you sleep here"
"you are now 17. When you pulled the master sword out of it's place, you destroyed the final seal that allowed Ganondorf to get in here. Ganon has imprisoned the other five sages, but he was unable to get me. you must go back to Hyrule and save the sages, for it is the only way to save Hyrule, do you understand?"
Link nodded, though I could tell he was a bit shocked and confused
"good" Ruaru then turned to me
"Sonya, you were too young also. You are now 18 years old and you can now use the scepter to its full power. That scepter is a way for you to control your powers and use them to fight evil"
"and the pendant?" I inquired
"I know not of it. Perhaps someone else shall teach you its purpose" Rauru stated
"ok then…do you know why I am here?" I asked the question that had been in my mind since day one of my quest in Hyrule
Ruaru walked forward off his platform and outstretched a…um…sleeve for me to take
"come with me" he said and I grabbed the sleeve
The Realm of Sages disappeared and we were in a cave. Along the walls were paintings, old ones. They told of two people, a hylian girl in a blue tunic (me) and a hylian boy in a green tunic (Link)
"do you recall this place?" Ruaru asked
I nodded, it was from a dream I had a while ago (see chapter 7) pretty weird if you ask me
After a while of walking on the softly glowing path, we came to the end
Now, in my dream, I saw a pretty girl playing the flute…there was a girl at the end of the cave, but she was frozen in ice and looked…like…
I stared intently at the girl, mouth agape "she-she's in ice…and she…looks like…me"
"do you know why?" Ruaru asked and I shook my head in confusion
"you are her reincarnation, and she is the reincarnation of someone else who is also the reincarnation of somebody else, and so on" Ruaru answered
"But…why does whoever was the first person in the chain deserve to have so many re-embodiments?"
"the first person in the chain of reincarnations was a powerful ice goddess who temporarily brought peace to her world, that is why she is so important" Ruaru said
"when she was killed, the whole world mourned and the three even more authoritative goddesses, Din, Nayru, and Farore, decided to reincarnate her, for thousands of years this chain has not been broken, but it is said that you may be the last one, seeing as how the last three have failed their worlds"
"how'd they fail their worlds?" I questioned
"do you recall the three dreams you had after you slipped on the mysterious pendant?"
I nodded and a shiver ran up my spine remembering those ominous nightmares
"those dreams told you of the paths the last three girls in the chain took. Three chances will befall you while you're here. You can take one of them and become like one of those girls…or" Ruaru paused for a moment and looked me straight in the eye "you can make your own destiny"
"how do I know when the chances are coming? What will they be? Can you tell me?"
"I only know that the chances will come, you can take them or pass on them. Trust me though, they'll come subtly and you won't even know that you've just sealed your fate"
What? My mind raced, this was too much to take in all at once…I didn't want to end up like the any of the girls in those three dreams!
"can you at least tell me more about the three girls?"
"those are different stories for a different times" Rauru stated simply "for now you must help Link"
We were back in the Realm of Sages (remember, we were in the cave, not the Realm of
Sages)
"now go! Awaken all five sages!" Ruaru lifted his arms and there was a blinding white flash
When I opened my eyes me and Link were in the Temple of time
"whoa" Link looked around "that was fast"
I didn't respond, my head felt like it was going to explode from confusion
"what did Ruaru tell you?" Link asked
I hesitated for a moment to collect my thoughts "he told me that there would be three choices, all appearing at different times. If I choose wrong, my future will be horrible"
"well, how cheerful that news must leave you" Link said sarcastically "what are the three different paths you could take?"
Before I could answer, another voice took my place
"Hero of Time, I have important news for you"
Link swerved in surprise and screamed "holy crap! A shadow's talking to me!"
Apparently, Link did not notice the person in the shadows
"what are you talking about?" a blond haired person wearing a mask stepped out of the shadows "my name is Sheik, of the Shiekah tribe"
"sheik of the Sheikah tribe? Oh your name is so original" I said sarcastically ( just saying this for the people who didn't get the joke- if you take away the "ah" in Shiekah it becomes Sheik, that's why it's unoriginal)
"shut up, I'm guiding Link, not you" Sheik snapped at me "as I was saying, Link, you already know the five sages have been kidnapped, so it's up to you to find them"
"this isn't helping…" Link interrupted
"I wasn't finished, stupid! You've known the first sage for a long time, though to get to her, you will need far better equipment"
"like what?" Link interrupted once again
"let me finish darn it!" Sheik yelled at Link "now, you will find one sage in a dense forest, one under a infinite lake, one atop a mountain peak, one in the home of the deceased, and one in gorge of sand. All of these sages embody different elements"
"is the first on in the dense forest?"
"I can't tell you that, now go and save the forest sage" Shiek covered her (I'm keeping Sheik as Zelda) mouth realizing she gave Link the answer
"c'mon Link" I said, walking towards the exit as Shiek stood there watching us go
Outside of the temple were redeads, tons and tons of redeads
"alright Link, wait for me to play the song of light, then we can go through these guys…or girls, unharmed, for the meantime, don't go near…"
I heard an ear piercing scream and turned to see Link getting…ahem, "hugged" by a redead
"them" I finished and sighed at Link's stupidity, then I played the song of light and froze the redeads
I walked up to Link, the redead was white and frozen in his position on Link
I looked down at Link and tried my best not to laugh at his awkward situation "well…at least he's not sucking the life out of you, right?"
"get it off me!" Link screamed loudly
"ok, ok, all you had to do was ask, god" I touched the redead, but then recoiled in disgust from it
I grabbed it once more and pulled, but the body was slimy and I soon lost my grip and fell backwards on my behind
PLAN B- I took out a deku stick and put it between Link and the redead "this could hurt a little" I jumped on the stick in an attempt to use it as a lever
It failed and the stick broke in half
PLAN C- I then put a bomb between Link and the redead, trying to blow the redead off of Link…that didn't exactly work either
PLAN D- I took my old slingshot and strung the rubber band part of it around the redead's neck and pulled back
It's head popped off and I fell backwards
PLAN E- I took another redead and threw it at the redaed on Link in an effort to knock it off of Link, that plan failed too
A few more alphabet letters later…
PLAN Z- using every other item and idea possible, I began hacking at the redead with my ocarina
And guess what! It worked!
Haha, I wish
"well, it's official, this thing won't budge" I stated
"shouldn't you have figured that out, oh say, about 20 minutes ago, y'know before you started to hurt me!?"
"yah, probably, but I didn't" I stared at Link with the redead stuck on him and suddenly the white redead dulled into a brown and came back to life (took long enough, eh?)
"gah! Do something!" Link screamed as the redead began sucking his life-force again
"I think the only way to get it off is to let it finish…" I crossed my arms and watched
The moment the redead got off of Link, I played the Suns Song and froze it once again
Link stood up "that felt so wrong"
"it looked pretty wrong too, But we've wasted enough time in this stupid place, let's leave before they get you again"
"fine by me" Link shuddered and we walked out into Hyrule field
"so…where to now? How about the Lost woods? That's the densest woods I know of"
"we'll go there soon enough, for now, we need to go to Kakariko Village to get something" I turned to my Left and Link followed
we crossed the bridge and I remembered that we had to get Epona, but I decided to do that after getting the Hookshot
meh, not my best (next chapter will be better) but it's satisfactory, right? So now…um…review? Please?
