In the chapter, I mention the fate of Hyrule. That is an actual song, it is a great song, find it on youtube. Listen to it, really. It's good. Also, shoutouts to Barmanlovesyou, XgamerGirl7, and Doopliss for your reviews!
...
The first thing he noticed was that he was wet. His arm was wet. Why was he wet? Brad opened his eyes. Where am I? He though. The ceiling was gone, replaced by an endless sky. Brad sat up. He looked around at the chamber he was in. "Link?" Brad called.
"Link?" he heard a few seconds later.
"Hello?"
"Hello?"
"Great, it's an echo. I'm talking to myself, and I'm talking back." Brad looked at the pedestals around him. There were six, each with a different symbol. There was a green one, a red one, a blue one, a yellow one, a purple one, and a gold one. His eyes fell on the blue one. He had seen that symbol before... Zora's Sapphire! Looking more closely, he could tell that it was fading with time.
"Hero..." Brad turned around to face three women, each shining with a brilliant light: one green, one red, and the last, blue.
"Who are you? Where am I? How did I get here?"
"Peace, Hero." the green one said. "You are in the Sacred Realm."
"The place of legend?"
"Yes." the red one replied. "My sisters and I left Hyrule at this place, leaving the Sacred Triangles here."
Brad's eyes widened. With a moment of realization, he knelt, knowing who they were. "I am sorry, Din, Farore, Nayru. I did not see it earlier."
"Rise, Brad." Farore said. Brad raised his head, but remained knelling.
"Brad, Hero of Hyrule, you have shown yourself worthy of your title." Nayru said.
"What of Link and Midna? What happened to them and Zelda? Are they safe?" Brad asked.
"They are safe, you will see them soon." replied Din.
"Why am I here?"
"Brad," Farore said. "you must know: the road from now on will be difficult. The fate of Hyrule is in your hands. You will succeed, or you will die. There is no alternative."
"Now, go, Hero of Hyrule." Din said.
"Wait." The goddesses looked at him. "Help us."
"What?" Farore asked.
"Help us. Fight with us."
"We cannot." Din said.
"Why not? You made Hyrule, now defend it!"
"We are." Nayru said.
"How?"
"We created you." With a flash of light, Brad was back in the Temple of Reflection.
...
"Link?" Midna called.
"Midna?"
"What was that?"
"I have no idea." Link sat up and looked around.
"Where are we?"
"The Sacred Realm."
"No, it can't be. Twili aren't allowed in here."
"But you are." Link and Midna spun around to face three figures.
"Midna, kneel." Link said.
"What?"
"Kneel. These are the goddesses."
"Oh." Midna knelt next to Link, waiting for something to happen.
"Why do they always kneel?" Din asked. Link looked up, confused.
"Do they think they aren't worthy?" Nayru joked.
"Now, now, we have guests. Let us show them respect." Farore said.
"Fine... but the next time we do this we're letting loose, okay?" Din said.
"Fine."
"Were you... messing around?" Midna asked. Link elbowed her, and pulled her back down.
"Are goddesses not allowed to have senses of humor?" Nayru asked.
"I guess they can..."
"That is how I cam up with the platypus." Farore laughed.
"Sisters, we did call them here for a reason." Nayru reminded them.
"Yes, yes we did."
"You called us here?" Link asked. "Why?"
"We have been watching from beyond. We have seen your plight, and are willing to forgive." Farore said. "The Twili have learned, as we can see by Midna, and we are willing to forgive them, on one condition. The Twili will remain separate from the Hylians, but will be equal, and the same."
"What do you mean, separate?" Midna asked.
"The Twili were once Hylians, but they were twisted by the dark powers. We will not reform them into Hylians, but they will be able to walk in the light, and be one with the light, as they once have."
"But if you do this, Johnas's followers will come through the portal, and they will invade Hyrule with full force!" Link said.
"We know this." Din said. "We are not doing this until the Threat of Darkness has been defeated."
"Sisters, I believe that we must help Midna, for she is the one who holds the Triforce of Power." Nayru said.
"About that..." Link started. "why does Midna have the Triforce of Power?"
"Because we chose her. Johnas would have taken it, but at the time, he did not lust for power. Midna, on the other hand, wanted the power to go to you, to reform the Mirror of Twilight. She wanted it for you."
"Why didn't I notice an increase in my magic?" Midna asked.
"We kept it secret from you, to protect you. If you knew you had the power, you would have reopened the Mirror too soon, and Brad would not have been able to help you." Nayru explained.
"Our time grows short." Farore said. "Remember, the fate of Hyrule is in your hands. You will succeed or you will die. There is no alternative."
"Goodbye." There was a bright flash of light, and they were back in the Temple of Reflection.
...
"Zelda, chosen hero." Zelda's eyes shot open. Above her, three women stood, watching her.
"Sisters, back up. Give her some room."
"Come on, Farore, you promised." Farore sighed.
"Din, please this is the soon-to-be queen of the land we created. Show a bit of dignity." Farore said.
"You two argue like an old married couple."
"Can it, Nayru!" Din shouted.
"You want to do this again? I'll school you just like last time!" Nayru said.
"Ah... what is going on?" Zelda asked, rather confused.
"We have company!" Farore shouted. "You may be a goddess, but you must have a bit of respect."
"Fine. Let's do this so that I can show Nayru who's boss."
"DIN!"
"Sorry, Farore."
"Goddess of Power, and you can't..."
"NAYRU! ENOUGH! BOTH OF YOU!" Farore grew brighter.
"I don't mean to interrupt... but what is going on?" Zelda asked.
"Please, let me talk." Farore asked. The light had gone back down. "Zelda, I am sorry. My sisters and I usually get along quite nicely, but today has been an odd day. Now, Zelda, we have spoken to the others already, and now we speak to you. Hyrule is in chaos. We cannot directly intervene without major repercussions. We ask that you, Brad, Link, and Midna act in our stead. We have seen your heart, and we know what troubles you. Trust your heart, not your tradition. Brad is a brave man, he is the one. Zelda, the fate of Hyrule now rests in your hands. Failure is not an option. You will succeed or you will fall. Now, go, Zelda, Queen of Hyrule." With a flash of light, Zelda was back in the Temple of Reflection.
...
"Link?" Brad asked.
"What?"
"Good, I'm not alone anymore."
"I didn't know that goddesses had a sense of humor." Midna said, sitting up.
"I didn't know that they were that... weird." Zelda said.
"You guys saw them too?" Brad asked.
"Yep." Link said.
"I guess."
"I guarantee you guys had a better encounter than me."
"They were nice to me." Brad said.
"They looked like they were about to trade blows when I saw them." Zelda said.
"Where to next?" Link asked.
"I have a feeling we need to go back to Hyrule Castle. Something big is happening.
...
I will ending the story soon, maybe with a few chapters for the afterstory. I know, so sad when a good story ends. But they all must... or do they? I may or may not have a crossover sequel planed for this! Recap time!
Brad meets with the goddesses and tries to get them to help. They refuse. (at least to directly help)
Link and Midna are next and the goddesses prepare to redeem the Twili.
Zelda has the weirdest encounter with the goddesses ever.
Tell me what you think! Thank you all so much for sticking with me for this story! Job 10:8-9
