Chapter 3
Deep inside of Hyrule, the protectorate of Magi awakens after his six century long sleep. The breach of the Forest seal has awoken him, and the protectorate rises out of his long forgotten grave. His spirit rises and floats toward the broken seal. The only words resonating in his mind, Find the descendant of the Hero…
The sprit continues to float toward the broken seal; knowing that is where he will find his objective…
Through the grave yard, and through the forest he travels, seeking the Hero…
A hovering creature comes over head, surely it must be that of evil because no creature could naturally rise that far with out some magic and he could not detect any. With his limited magic he strikes the hovering…creature…with fire. After two bombardments the creature falls from the sky and crashes to the ground.
A great smoke rises from the strange creature, one like he has never smelled before; he floats to the creature to investigate. When he arrives he finds that the creature has a blade below its belly that is now darkened with the fire he threw against the creature. Upon further investigation he finds a man behind the creatures…eyes? He brings the forth the power of ice and freezes the creatures…eyes…and breaks the creatures…eyes…with near by rocks that he controls via telepathy. The man is unconscious; unfortunately his current form lacks mass so he is unable to shake the man awake. He calls water and splashes the man….
Link was trying to pull his hover unit up but something had destroyed hover engine. Something caused the craft to jar and he hit his head on the controls of the craft and fell into unconsciousness. Dreams flooded with images of crystals containing people, a large Owl, and that sword again. Glowing, with power, unknown to Link…suddenly he was woken by a splash of ice cold water.
Links eyes flew open and he gasped and thought he was hallucinating, because the being before him was a…sprite…that looked like an owl?
The strange being said, "Hoo, Hoo, Quickly get out of that creature while you still can, it may awaken soon!"
Link blinked and said, "Creature? This is my hover unit! Are you responsible for destroying this?" Link inquired.
"Yes, I destroyed it. It is a creation of evil that came from the broken seal," the Owl replied.
"Um, not magic, it's a machine…Well…I have to report this to HQ…" he said as he pulled himself out of the craft. As he got out, careful not to cut himself on the glass, he pulled out his pistol and said, "You just stay right there…what ever you are."
Link trained his pistol on the Owl, and pulled his other wrist to his mouth and said, "HQ, this is Colonel Link. My hover unit has been downed by a…Owl…" but to his surprise the comm. unit did not respond. He looked down and noticed his comm. unit was cracked from the crash. "Aww see what you've done? You broke my comm. unit!" Link holstered his pistol and pulled off the comm. Unit and tried to survey the damage. The owl spirit turned its head in wonder to get a better look at his wrist. There, a tattoo had appeared, unbeknown to Link. The tattoo was of three golden triangles stacked on top of each other. One triangle was on the tips of the two on the bottom.
The owl exclaimed "Hoo, where did you get that tattoo kid?"
Annoyed, for the fact that the Owl called him 'kid', and he knew for a fact he didn't have any tattoos, "What are you talking about, I don't have any…" Link looked down and indeed there was a tattoo, of the gold triangles, that he had seen in his dreams…"I've seen these before, in a dream I had, but I never got a tattoo…" Link broke off in a state of confusion and frustration. "This is your doing!"
The owls neck feathers popped out and he stuck his head out and looked Link in the eyes and said, "I did not, that is the mark of the Hero. Tell me kid are your ancestors form the Knights of Hyrule?"
"Yes they are, my grand father started the elite force, which I'm a member of now, why?" Link inquired.
"Nooooo…It would not be your Grandfather, it would be your great, great, great, great, great, grandfather! Don't you know your family history!?!" the owl insisted.
"No one knows their family history that well friend! Just who and what are you anyways?"
The owl turned his head and said, "You do not know?"
Link turned his head in the same way as to mock the large owl-spirit and said, "No, I don't…" Link replied, "But you do look familiar, but I have no idea who or what you are…" trying to remember where he had seen this strange being before.
"Hoo, well let's just say I'm here to help you in your quest," The owl replied.
"What quest, what are you talking about!" Link replied.
"You've been having strange dreams, correct? These dreams only come to he who is the hero. You see there was once a being called Ganon…" the owl explained.
"Ganon! You mean the sorcerer who plugged Hyrule into darkness?" Link interrupted.
The owls feathers puffed out in agitation "Hoo! Do not interrupt me kid! But yes, he was an evil sorcerer whom took hold of the triforce and almost conquered the land. It was one of your decedents whom stopped him," The owl explained.
Link looked up in aww and stated, "One of my decedents, Triforce? What are you talking about you crazy old Owl..?"
"You have much to learn boy, however we do not have much time to discuss this. Time is of the essence for the one who broke this seal will surely try to break the others. If he succeeds in breaking the other 6 six seals by capturing the descends of the ancient mages, then all will be lost, and Ganon will once again be freed, and darkness will descend apon this land once again," The owl explained.
"Other six? There are only 6 seals, not 7. If Ganon is let loose so what? Our technology is far more sophisticated then it was 600 years ago. They were using swords, and shields. We have energy weapons now that can do a lot more damage! The Elite Knight force will make sort work of him!" Link explained.
Once again the owls feathers ruffled out in agitation, "There are 7 seals, the last is unknown to keep this kind of catastrophe form happening. You have no idea the power that Ganon has, once the seals are broken, only the power of the Master sword and the sages can defeat him. If he gets his hands on all the Triforces then all will be surely lost. The Triforce was split into its three basic pieces to prevent Ganon from getting his hands on all of them. Who ever has done this has found one or more of the pieces, and used that piece for evil. They most likely it is the Triforce of Power that he has possessed. The other two are the Triforce of Wisdom and Courage. If Ganon's pawn, or Ganon him self possess all three pieces, the wishes of their heart will become reality, plunging all of Hyrule into darkness again."
"Wow," Was all that Link could muster. He wanted to rebuke what the strange being was saying, but in his heart, he knew it to be true. "What can I do?" he replied after a moment.
"First we must find who ever is breaking the seals, and stop them from destroying any more, causing further damage. Unfortunately if he has the Triforce of Power, we will need to retrieve the Master Sword. It is the only thing that can defeat whom ever possesses a piece of the Triforce and uses it for evil," The owl explained.
"Ok…I need to get a…Sword…oh and by the way swords haven't been used in over three hundred years…to defeat this person? Why wouldn't my pistol do the same job?" Link replied sarcastically.
"You're more foolish than I thought boy. The Master Sword makes all evil retreat with its power. That pistol of yours would do no more damage to a being possessing the Triforce than you would blowing onto a forest fire, actual damage. You can only fight magic with magic! The Master Sword was forged with mettle blessed by the Triforce of courage, so only one who has courage and purity of heart can wield its magic force," The owl explained.
"Ok and where is this 'Magical' sword?" Link replied sarcastically.
"I do not know, time has passed, and the land has changed. We must find it before we can go against the person whom is breaking the seals," The owl explained.
"Well, I think that I can take this joker on, with my good ol' pistol here, so…" at that moment another hover unit came over head and landed. Link turned his head to see the craft, and turned his head back to see that the owl had disappeared...
