GOOD EVENING WORLD! 'Tis I, Nicholas Friar, a completely different person than Nick Write! Completely. Different. Therefore, I cannot be blamed for the absent of this story. That was a problem in 2017, it is 2018 now. Everything has changed. Trust me. I'm back and in buisness now boys and girls. AND I'M FINALLY GOING TO FINISH THIS CHAPTER I'VE HAD SITTING IN MY DOCUMENT FOLDER FOR MONTHS! READ ON!

Link sighed, and poked gently at his dinner at the Hermes table. Malon plopped down beside him, and looked over.

" Jeez. You look depressed. What's wrong Linky?"

Link stopped for a minute." Did you just call me Linky?"

Malon ignored him, and threw an arm around his shoulder." Look Linky, there are a lot of things out there that will make you sad. You just can-"

Link cut her off before she could finish." It's not that. I have to find two more people, and we have to go on some important quest for some not Greek goddess."

Malon paused for a moment, before raising an eyebrow." Can I come?"

Link was surprised by the question, but it wore of rather quikly, when he realized that Malon would probably be a good pick for his team. She was pretty able in battle, or at the very least, running away from it. It was kind of an obvious choice. He nodded.

" Of course. That only leaves us to find a thir-"

Suddenly a mass of blonde hair was upon them, breathing heavily, and then grinning.

" I heard something about a quest."

Link nodded." Yeah, actually. I need a third person."

Almost immediately, Aaron pointed to himself." Me."

Link opened and closed hos mouth." Uh. Sure I guess?"

Aaron nodded, and went back to the Hermes table. Link turned back to his dinner, and shrugged." That was convinient."

Malon looked at him." So, what's our quest?"

Link took a swig from his milk, and wiped his mouth." Well, we've got to do a couple of things. I'll explain it after dinner. Uh, I recommend packing for a long trip."

Malon laughed." You don't pack for quests! You just go in dry!"

Link gave the Hermes girl a blank look." That's a terrible idea. I'm going to visit the Hecate cabin so they can enchant by bag. You need something?"

Malon scoffed." I'll just put it all in your bag."

Link sighed. This was going to be a long quest.

After dinner, Link head off to the Hecate cabin like he said, his worn brown bag in tow. He knocked on the door, and waited a couple of seconds. Not long after, a tired looking Lou Ellen opened the door, glaring at the teen.

" What do you want?"

Link blushed a little, feeling bad now." Uh. I was about to go on a quest, and I need something enchanted. Can you help me out?"

The daughter of Hecate stared at the green clad boy for a second, before sighing and opening the door a little wider." Come in. But be careful not to smell the fog."

Link raised an eyebrow." Fog?"

The tired demigod held up her hand." Just come on. We're working on something for the Hypnos kids. It's not important right now. LANA!"

A young girl with dyed blue hair ran up." Yes ma'am!?" She saluted Lou Ellen.

The older demigod threw her the bag." Give 'em the quest package. You know, bottomless, indestructable. Boombox."

The young girl, presumably named Lana, nodded, and took the bag farther into the cabin. Lou Ellen then turned back to Link. She seemed to be in thought for a moment, then she grinned.

" How heavy of a sleeper are you?"

Two hours of weird magical fog, and an enchanted bag, and Link was finally released from the Hecate Cabin. He shuddered as he exited the magical cabin, making a mental note to not ever visit unless it was absolutely necessary. He walked back to his cabin, seeing the Malon had a huge suitcase full of stuff, and an even bigger grin on her face. Link sighed, and opened the bag up. She shoved it in with one smooth motion, and luckily, the bag still felt like it weighed nothing. Link sighed.

" So there aren't any consequences. I thought that it'd get heavier or something. Isn't that convenient?"

Malon nodded." Yeah, it's great. Now I do believe you owe me an explaination."

The green clad demigod nodded." Yeah. First off, this has very little to do with the Greek gods."

Malon looked at him, visibly confused." Wait what?"

Link nodded." Yeah, theses are completely different ones."

The red head held a hand up." You know what, I don't even care. Just tell me what we have to do."

Link nodded again, and then explained the details about the Master Sword and the Great Evil he apparently had to defeat. Malon looked at him.

" So we have to go find a sword, and you didn't even get a hint of where it may be?"

Link blushed." Well, she left before I could ask any questions. I didn't have very much input into the conversation. Also maybe some romantic tension between Apollo and Nayru, but that's not really of any concern."

Malon shrugged." Maybe for the Aphrodite cabin."

Link ignored her, and flopped face forward to the floor." Okay I'm going to sleep."

Malon nodded, and headed towards the female bunks to get some rest for herself. It wasn't long, and Link had passed smooth out.

" Link..."

When he opened his eyes, he was surrounded by a blinding light. He winced, and his eyes adjusted, revealing the same woman from his previous dream. She smiled kindly to him.

" We don't have much time together, and after tonight, I'm not sure if I'll be able to contact you. Unfortunately, my sister has involved the Greeks. For the patron of wisdom, she sure can be rash. The Blade of Evils' Bane. I know my sister didn't tell you of where the sword is located."

Link nodded, and noticed that he was beginning to rise. The woman frowned.

" You're waking up. Go to the forest, and you will find the sword. The sword will guide you. Go!"

As Link floated faster, he reached out to the woman." Wait! I have to know! Are you my mother?"

As the woman faded away, she gave a small, sad nod, and smiled, as the dream faded to darkness.

Link shot awake, startling the Hermes camper that was standing beside him. Said camper walked away with a strange look on his face, leaving Link alone. The green clad demigod rose from his position on the floor, groaning as his back popped, and he stretched the sleep off. He pulled his beanie on better, and shouldered his bag. The conch sounded loudly, signaling breakfast, but Link ignored it. He needed a map.

He gently opened the door to the Athena cabin's library, and quietly walked inside. He grabbed a map of the United States, and searched it quickly. There were...a lot of forests to be frank. Link ran a hand through his hair.

" I have to ask her if she's my mom, not "hey, exactly what forest am I supposed to be searching." Gah, what am I supposed to do?"

" You know that us children of Apollo are gifted with prophecy?"

Link spun around in surprise, seeing Aaron standing behind him, spinning around a pocket watch on his finger. The green clad teen glared at the child of Apollo." Why do you do that? You just pop up out of nowhere, and nearly give me a heart attack."

Aaron gave him a bland look." I have no idea what you're talking about."

Link shook his head dismissively." Whatever. That doesn't matter. What do you mean "gifted with prophecy?"

Aaron didn't move." You know, look into the future, predict stuff, the like."

Link rose an eyebrow." Really now. So would you be able to help me out?"

Aaron laughed." Nah, I'm terrible with prophecy."

Link nearly fell." Then what are you telling me for?"

The son of Apollo shrugged." I don't know, it just came to mind."

He turned to Aaron." What are you even doing here?"

Aaron showed him the watch." Getting this from my girlfriend. She picked up my coat on accident, and took it."

Link nodded." Are you packed for the quest."

Aaron raised an eyebrow." You don't pack for a quest. You go in dry!"

Link stared at Aaron." What's with you greeks? That's such a horrible idea."

Said greek just shrugged. Link grumbled, and went back to looking at his map." How am I going to find this sword..."

Aaron peered over the map." What about the oracle?"

Link looked at him." Oracle?"

A flash went through Link's mind, first of a woman with red hair dancing, and then a woman with blue hair singing. Quickly, the thoughts fled. Aaron nodded.

"Yeah, Rachel Elizabeth Dare. The Oracle of Delphi technically."

Link threw his arms in the air." Why are you just now telling me this?

Aaron held his hands up in surrender." Woah, hey. Calm down. You need like a glass of water or something?"

Link rolled up the map, and shoved it into his bag." Look, just pack a bag, and meet at the top of the hill tonight."

With those final words, Link left the Athena cabin library.

Rachel was currently painting a picture of a woman. Well, it looked like a woman at least. It was more of a silouhette. And there was tons of green. Like, everwhere. Rachel set the brush down, and took a sip of a water bottle she had laying around, when someone came into her cave.

" Hello? Is this the home of the Oracle."

She wiped off her hands on her pants." That'd be me." She called out.

Said person came around the corner, a demigod in all green, one she didn't recognize. She sized him up. About an inch shorter than her. Which was odd considering most of the guys around here. He wore a green hoodie, and jeans with boots, and a green beanie that fit him a little too well.

" What do you want?"

He didn't even hesitate to pull out a map." I need a little help. You see, I'v-"

Rachel inturrupted him." Something happend, you need a quest?"

The demigod shook his head." No, I need to see if you can locate something."

Rachel blinked." Not what I was expecting."

He nodded." Obviously."

She smirked." You know kid, I think I like you."

Said demigod said nothing. He just rolled the map out.

" What do you need help finding?" Rachel knelt down beside him.

He pointed to several forests he had marked all over the map." There's a sword I need to find to defeat some great evil. A Demon King."

Rachel rose an eyebrow." Blessed sword huh? I'll see what I can do."

Rachel closed her eyes and let her mind wander. While she couldn't exactly control when the Spirit of Delphi took over, she did see a lot of things normaly. Suddenly she heard a voice.

He must find the pendants first. Tell him sorry that I forgot to tell him that. He needs the pendants so he can draw the sword. Love Aunt Nayru.

A pain shot through Rachel's head after the voice went away. She grunted in pain. The green kid ran to her side.

" Someone named Nayru. They said you have to find some pendants to draw the sword."

He groaned." Ugh, at least can I get a map to where I need to go?"

Rachel stood up shakily, with help from the green demigod." I'll paint a map. Getting a lot of feedback in my head here. Come back later, okay?"

She pushed Link out of the door, and he sighed, running a hand through his hair as he did so.

" I need to relax a little. Maybe some milk will help me take my mind off of it."

And with that, he went to the cafeteria for lunch.

When he returned to the Oracle's cave, he noticed that Rachel Elizabeth Dare was hard at work on something. He walked closer, and noticed a large golden symbol he recognized. Three golden triangles, one stacked on top of the other two. He couldn't figure from where, but he knew that symbol.

" The Triforce..." The name came to him, and he mumbled it under his breath. Rachel turned.

" Hmm? Oh, you're back. I got your map. And that really helped too. I was having a super artistic funk, and now I'm getting tons of feedback. I've already made like four great new paintings. Thanks."

Link nodded." Uh, no problem."

He unrolled the map, and noticed that not only was the sword marked, but all three pendants as well. There was a green one, marked in what looked to be around Arizona and New Mexico. There was a Blue one, at the tip of the boot in Louiziana. Then the last one was a Red one, that was marked in the Rocky mountains. Then, there was a marker of a sword stuck in a pedestal, showing to be around California, nestled what seemed to be the Giant Redwood forest. It made a huge square, so at least they had that going for them. Link rolled up the map, and thanked Rachel.

" It's my job kid."

And he left, making his way to the top of Half-Blood Hill. He saw that Aaron and Malon were already there, Aaron even heeding Link's advice and packing a light bag. They stuck it in the endless bag. Link showed the two the map, and pointed to the closest destination.

" First stop, blue amulet."

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND THAT'S A WRAP. WHOO boy, that one took me a while. I just couldn't get into a groove, you know? I couldn't send them in blind, but it was pretty boring just going around talking about necessary items. Lucky for us, however, now that the exposition before the quest is over, we can finally tackle the quest! That means even more tons of Zelda references! I'm excited, are you? It's gonna be great! Anyways, that's all I have for you today. Stay frosty my friends, and as always...

See You On The Flip-Side~Nicholas Friar
