Hey everyone! Sorry for not posting last week. I honestly don't have a reason why, I was just procrastinating. Anyways, time for another
STORY SUPOOOORT!
Alright, this one gets the top o' the rankings for me, because this is the story that inspired me to join in the first place! This story is, "Link and Midna come Alive-Literally!" from Midna4532. It is about, well, Link and Midna going into the real world! And you can only imagine the craziness that would happen. Give her story a good look at whenever you can, it is really good! Heck, it even has a sequel! Anyways, onto the story!
Chapter 13; Splitting Up
Midna's POV
There are times when you are sleeping so well, that anything will feel comfy. I felt the exact same way about waking up on the wall. But I knew that I had to get up either way, the sun was forcing me not to sleep. I sat up, and found some food on my lap, along with a note.
Naturally, I decided to read the note first, to see what was going on.
"You were sleeping for too long, so when you read this, come to Impaz's house so we can talk.
-Link"
I tossed the note aside, and found that during my sleep, my, whatever it was fell off. I didn't need it anymore since this wasn't time for formalities. Not to mention, I had control of my hair again! I decided to check to see if I could still do it. I pulled off my robe's hood and tried it out.
I imagined my energy going into my hair, and held out my hand once again. I could feel my hair becoming larger, and turning into my hand. It mimicked my hand movements, it felt really good to do this again! Back when I was with Link, I could only use my hair when I had my Fused Shadow, but not anymore.
I made my hair turn back to normal, and put my hood back up. I knelt down to pick up my breakfast, a piece of bread and some water. This wasn't much, but I knew why I had such a small meal. The food is limited, so they have to conserve it. I walked out of the run down house with bread and bottle of water in hand, and headed to Impaz's house.
Because of the chaos yesterday, the mood was somber. There was little to no talking, the main sound being the small wind blowing into my face. I looked around at the villagers, they all seemed to be interested in the ground. They just looked down and ate the little food they had. Some of them took a quick look at me, but then quickly turned back away.
I kept walking until I reached Impaz's house, and walked inside. Link, Aden, Adri and Impaz was there, eating together. They were all sitting in their own chairs, with Adri sitting next to Link. And with Link looking a little nervous and catching quick glances at her, I could tell he was worried.
I sat down in between Aden and Adri, drinking the last drop of my water. I finished, put the bottle next to me, and decided to begin a conversation.
"Impaz, we thank you for letting us stay in your village. It is deeply appreciated, by all of us." I said to her. She smiled, and said with her croaky voice, "You are welcome miss. I am glad to help you and your friends." She then started to cough, and doubled over.
"However, I must also apologize."
"Huh? Why's that?" Adri said. Impaz looked down, and said, "Sheikah can live for a long time, but they cannot live forever. I fear that I will soon pass on, then everyone here will be in danger."
Everyone was silent, they did not say a word. But Link decided to break the silence. "I'm sorry Impaz, I didn't know. But if ye don't mind me ask'n, why would we all be in troubl'?"
Impaz looked back up to all of us. "The magic spell I casted for this Village is bound to me. If I die, so too will the magic barrier." She began to cough again, more violently than usual. Adri ran over to her to see if she was alright. She coughed for a couple more seconds, then she stopped.
"Thank you Adri." She said. Adri sat back down in her chair, and Aden butted in. "If this is true, then we must hurry." Everyone looked over to him, and I knew what they were going to ask. So I decided to answer it for them.
"I'm assuming you know what to do Aden?" I asked. He simply nodded, and continued to talk. He looked over to Adri, who was holding her arm, a sign of depression.
"Adri, you weren't the only person that came here besides myself, right?" He asked. Adri immediately widened her eyes, and smacked herself on her forehead.
"Ugh, how could I forget about them already?!" I could hear a confused, "Huh?" from Link's direction, and Adri continued. "My, sorry, our other two friends came here too! I don't even know where they are right now! Their names were Logan and Lora, I hope they are alright."
"I don't know who they are, but I hope they are alright too. Listen everyone, this is urgent, so listen up." Everyone looked over to him, so he continued talking. "The Fierce Deity is growing more and more powerful each day, too powerful right now."
"Wait, the Fierce Deity? As in Fierce Deity from Majora's Mask Fierce Deity?!" More confused looks over to Adri, but she got an answer. "I'm just going to assume that what you are saying is making sense. But in all honesty, I have no idea what you are talking about."
So, that wasn't exactly an answer, but it was sort of one. Adri stayed quiet now, so Aden could continue talking.
"As I was saying, the Fierce Deity is growing stronger, as if he wasn't strong enough already. A strange voice told me last night that the only way to defeat him is to gather all of us together and go straight to him. We need to find the other four people that have their halves of their Triforce piece, before he destroys all of Hyrule."
"Well we have some good news th'n, we already know where one of them is!" I knew what he was talking about, and so did everyone else.
"Princess Zelda!" Link and I said at the same time. "If we could get her to join us, then we would only have three people to look for!" he said.
"Hopefully we can find all of them in time. I have a feeling that the Fierce Deity will be really, really tough!" Adri said, with some shakiness in her voice. I was good with just doing that, but Aden had other plans.
"That isn't all though, there is still more." Everyone got quiet again, besides a slight cough from Impaz. I honestly forgot she was there for a second. But I couldn't let that get to me.
"The Fierce Deity is already really powerful, too powerful. He is the sole reason why the Triforce got separated in the first place, and the reason why, is that he defeated the sources of those pieces." It took everyone a while to process that, but when I found out what he meant, I already regretted it.
"Are you- you can't be saying"-
"Yes, I do. The Fierce Deity defeated the three golden goddesses." Everyone, including myself, gasped at that statement. How could we go up against a person that killed three Goddess, that was already a god himself?!
"But don't worry, they weren't killed by him, simply defeated. They all managed to escape, but at a price. They were forced into their mortal forms, and scattered across Hyrule along with Logan and Lora. I'm not sure if they are alright either, but we have to find them before he does."
"Okay, so not only do we have to find our two friends, the two other Triforce Piece bearers, but we have to find the golden goddesses themselves?! This is basically trying to find a grain of salt on a beach, and that beach is miles long! How do we even know what they look like?!" Adri said, obviously freaking out under pressure.
"They, uh, I'm not sure how to describe them. I did see what they looked like though. In short, Din has red eyes, hair, and clothes. Farore is the same, but with the color green, and she looks like a child. And Nayru, the oldest looking and has the color blue. Some of them should also be with Logan and Lora."
"Okay, I think I get it now. You guys?" I asked Adri and Link. They nodded in response, Adri slightly quicker than Link. I shook this off though, because Aden continued to talk.
"We should head out right away, and start looking wherever we can. If you guys know where Zelda is, then we should head there first." He said. We all nodded, and stood up to leave.
"I wish you best of luck heroes, I will try to keep the village in order for as long as I can. I wish safe travels for you four, good luck." Impaz said for her parting words. We then all walked out of Impaz's house, hearing another cough as we left. We had to hurry, because that cough didn't exactly sound healthy.
"Hey, Link?" a voice from behind us said. I turned around, as I assumed that everyone else did as well. It was Rusl, he must have been listening to our conversation. He walked over towards all of us, and he seemed to look desperate.
"You four are leaving, right?" So he WAS eavesdropping on us! I'd give him a piece of my mind, that is, if all of what happened yesterday didn't happen. Link didn't say anything, but I assumed that he nodded, since he was standing behind me.
"Listen, what happened yesterday, I couldn't forget. My wife is dead, along with half of the villagers as well. I can't get the image of Uli dead out of my head. All of the kids here are devastated as much as everyone else here, and they want all of this to stop as soon as it can."
"Where 'r you goin' with this?" Link asked behind me. He simply looked up to us with a confident and angry look in his eyes.
"I want to come with you guys, I want to help out you four, and do something for a change! Let me come with you four so I can at least be a little help." It looked like he was serious, yet desperate at the same time. He wanted to help avenge his wife, and the rest of the dead villagers. He did not want to sit around and do nothing, I understood.
Because that is what I felt two years ago with Link.
I saw Adri step forward to say something like, "Of course you can come with us!" I knew she would say that, but I grabbed her wrist. She looked back at me, confused at what I was doing. I simply shook my head. She looked back down, and stepped back. I looked back to Rusl.
"I am sorry Rusl, but you cannot go with us. It is too dangerous for you, even with a way to defend yourself. You need to stay here with everyone else here, and protect them." I said. He did not argue, he understood. I could see a slight look of disappointment in his eyes for a quick second, but that was soon replaced with a look of confidence on his face.
"Okay, I understand. I'll stay here and protect the villagers." He said. His look of confidence, I was not sure if it was true or not. Either way, I trusted him, and so did everyone else here. I nodded, and started to walk away. The others followed with me. I could hear him speak one last time before we left.
"And when you see whoever you are trying to take down, make sure to give him a good hit for me, okay?"
I was sure that Link looked back to him and nodded again.
Link's POV
We gathered up our things and collected a couple rations of food. We were going to need it on our little journey. I was worried that the food supply would run out, and Aden noticed this. He reassured me that if the food supply did run out, he could use his powers to completely restore it again. That made me feel a little better.
We all packed up our things and headed to the tunnel to exit the Village. We said a couple more goodbyes to everyone, and we headed off. When we were walking through the tunnel however, a thought came to me. Faron got destroyed, we managed to get the small amount of villagers out in Kakiriko, and we warned the Gorons. We would be going to Castle Town next, but there was still one more place that we would need to go.
We reached the exit, or rather entrance, of the tunnel, and Midna was preparing to warp all of us.
"Wait." I said. Midna stopped her warping ritual, and looked back to me. "We have to go and warn the Zora's, they don't know what is going on yet, send me th're first." I said.
"Link, you know that I can't send you there, it's too dangerous to go alone!" I heard a slight giggle coming from Adri, but I just ignored it.
"Plus, how will you get back to us if I'm not there to warp you?" she continued.
"Simple, I'll just swim the wat'r route that leads to Castl' Town! That way, we should get both things done at the same time!" I said.
"Okay, but I still think that one of us should go with y"-
"I'll go with you!" Adri shouted. Oh goddesses, I didn't want her to go with me! Not that I hated her or anything, I was worried that she would tackle me again and do something else to me! She was obsessed with me, and it didn't exactly take the Triforce of Wisdom to find that out!
Although, I didn't want to say that straight to her face, and I also didn't want her to be upset and try even harder to find away alone with me. So, I simply sighed, and nodded. Hunching over in defeat, before the battle even started.
"Okay, that will work. Zelda will understand if I talk to her, and Prince Rails will understand if you talk to him. So this will work. Stay safe you two." Midna said. She then began to teleport Adri and me to the Zora's domain, and I could feel myself breaking up into Twilit particles. All of me traveled upwards into the portal extremely fast. What seemed like a couple seconds later, I was in the Zora's Domain.
I swear, every time I warp here, I feel like I am floating in the air for a couple seconds. This time was the same as all those other ones, then I fell into the water. I heard another splash, and I assumed that was Adri. I swam to the edge to get out, and was soaked from head to toe. But I didn't worry about that. Why?
Because there was a Zora spear pointed right at my head!
I didn't move in the slightest, in hopes that this Zora soldier wouldn't kill me.
"Who are you, and why do you dare intrude the sacred throne room of the Zoras?" the Zora soldier said. I was about to answer as Adri crawled out of the water, but another voice interrupted me.
"Stand down Elthio." I knew that voice. I looked to my left, and saw Prince Rails himself standing there. Two other Zora guards beside him. He walked forward to us, and looked to the guard that was close to killing me. "This man is a good friend of mine, you do not have to do anything to him." He said.
The guard stepped back, embarrassed by his actions. "My apologies Sir and Madam, I did not know!" he said, bowing down in apology. He then shot back up and quickly walked in the other direction. I looked back to Prince Rails, he was taller ever since I last saw him. I stood up, as did Adri, and faced Prince Rails.
"I apologize about Elthio, he is one of our new guards here and he doesn't exactly remember your actions two years ago." He said.
"I understand Prince Rails. And before you ask, this woman is my friend Adri. We are here to tell you someth'n important." I said. He understood, and started to walk. He motioned us to follow, and we did. With Adri being uncomfortably close to me.
We got to the throne room, and Prince Rails sat down in his throne. The two guards standing confidently to the sides of it. "Now, what is it that you wanted to speak to me about?" he said.
"Listen Prince Rails, this doesn't just involve you. This also involves every single Zora here. This concerns both you and your people." I said. He looked a little surprised, and sat up straight now in his throne with his hands on his knees.
"Okay, there is something happ'n right now that is like what happn'd two years ago. Somebody is try'n to destroy Hyrule as a whole right now, so we came here to warn you." He looked away in thought for a couple seconds, then looked back to us. "I understand, is there anything we can do to help you with this?" he said.
I shook my head, and Adri talked for me. "I'm sorry Prince Rails, but we didn't come here to ask you to fight. We need you to hide, or at least prepare yourselves for an attack that will come soon. This person alone has enough power to destroy an entire region of Hyrule. We need you to be prepared."
"This sounds like an extremely important situation, and if this involves all of my people as well… Very well. I will look into this at once. I will gather all of my people together and bring them to the Lakebed Temple. They should be safe there. There is also some fish that we could eat for our people." He said, with a dire look of importance in his eyes.
"That sounds good Prince Rails, I just hope that it will be enough. That is all we came here to do. I hope your people will be fine with all of this going on." Adri said. Prince Rails, obviously worried about his people, said, "I hope so too."
3rd person POV
The Fierce Deity had lost the four bearers of the Triforce, but only for a day. They suddenly showed up, two each in different locations at once. There were also the other four, but he had to get the main three first. If he could kill the three most experienced ones first, then the rest of them would be swift, and quick. He knew how they were getting around so fast, the portals. That was also how he was getting the Twilit beasts to the different locations.
He had a plan. It would be risky, but it would change the tides drastically in his favor. He would only do it if the beasts failed this time, and the three weren't killed. But this was his only choice. He turned back to Zant, who flinched when he turned around so suddenly.
"Send the beasts to Hyrule Castle Town, and make sure you kill them this time. And if you don't…" He quickly swiped his sword through the air, and sent out an energy wave. It cut off Zant's helmet on the top, but not cutting his head. He crouched down and put the hands to the top of his head when it happened, crying like a little child that got grounded.
"Then next time, I'll aim even lower." Zant quickly said, "Yes my god, I promise this will be the time!" then he warped away. The Fierce Deity despised Zant, and wanted to kill him either way. But he was true to his word. If he succeeded, then he would let him live. 'He better not mess up this time'. He thought. He then went back to honing his powers.
