Chapter 9
Zelda sat in her quarters in the palace, contemplating the days events. She was both sad and happy. She had lost two good friends, and part of the land she held so dear was being tore to shreds, by some unknown force and she could do nothing about it; but her heart was full of joy at meeting this mysterious person, Link. Sure she had had her typical teenage crushes and the such, but this felt much deeper, more like it was meant to happen. It was something that she couldn't explain. Well the entire day has been like that though she thought to her self.
Suddenly a vision blurred her vision and burned a new image into her head. An image of Link crouched in pain…

The owl continued his quest through out the eternal greenery, when he had a telepathic connection from Link. Link's mind cried out in pain, Link's in trouble, I just hope what ever it is hasn't killed him.
The Owl quickly did a 180 and climbed upward ask quickly as possible. The telepathic connection had died, but he knew Link was heading to Death mountain. The own flapped his wings and soared north to Death Mountain.
Within a few minutes the owl found Link and two Tektites flipped on their backs. The owl quickly swooped down to Link who was sitting against a rock. His face was in contortions, he was clearly in a lot of pain. The owl called out, "Link are you alright?"
Link looked up and blinked his eyes and replied, "Yeah but I'm in pain, but I have no wounds,"
"You see what I was trying to tell you? You're in so much pain because you were attacked by Magic! Magic affects the body differently than regular damage," The owl explained.
"Yeah I can see that now. I tried to fire my pistol on them and the shot bounced right off and nearly nailed me in the process. Luckily these guys aren't very flexible or smart else I would probably be dead," Link said, slightly winning.
"You see, they're protected by magic, you can only attack them with magic or things blessed with magic and hope to defeat them," The owl scolded. "If you had listened to me earlier, now observe the power of magic," As he said that the owl lifted off of the ground and fired two flames, one at each of the Tektites. The magical flames hit each of them and they dematerialized into a light and each dropped something. One looked like a green container, and the other looked similar to a heart. They both began floating slightly in the air.
"You see that heart looking container? That will make you feel better, quickly go drink it. It will dematerialize in a few seconds," The owl instructed.
Link got up and on wobbly legs went over to the heart shaped container and looked at it. "There's no opening to open," Link inquired.
"Bite the bottom of the container and drink the liquid, do it quickly!" the owl implored.
Link bit off the bottom of the container and spit it out. He then quickly drank the contents. Immediately he had a sensation like on he had never felt before, he felt stronger, and no longer hurt. "That tastes great and I feel like a million Rupees!" Link exclaimed.
"Now do you understand the power of magic? Unfortunately you didn't get the green jar quickly enough. It contains magic syrome which you can use to cast spells. Your body has a natural amount of it and you're naturally able to use magic, however you have a limited supply of it in your body, and it takes a very long time for the body to produce it. The same goes for the recovery heart you drank. It contains a potion that replenishes your body with anti magic. Anti magic is your bodies resistance to magic damage. Naturally the resistance is not that much, but you'll be able to find magic items as you defeat monsters that will increase your bodies natural resistance. However, small monsters such as these Tektites will not have that. With them you will find various items such as the potion you just drank, magic syrome or other items. Your ancestors and I never did figure out how or why the monsters drop these items," The owl explained with care, trying not to overwhelm Link, but a battle was quickly stirring, and they would need to act quickly if they were to stop this.
"That's quite unbelievable, but after the day I've had, I'll believe anything you say chief," Link replied with a grin.
"Now Link, we have to find the master sword if you hope to stop the evil creature who is plaguing this land and trying to revive Ganon. If we don't then I fear that all will be lost. The reason I say this is because you've seen what these simple creatures can do, can you imagine the damage their master would do to you?" The owl inquired. "The fact that you were able to at least disable these two and live tells me you are the chosen one, so let us go from here and find the Master sword, else I fear it will be too late," The owl explained gravely.
"It's against my better judgment but I think you're right. I have no desire to die, and if you say this sword will help me, then lets get it. I hate to leave the Goron's up high and dry like this, but I don't think I have a choose," Link replied solemnly.
`"A wise choose, a very wise choose indeed. I'm glad you finally came to your senses boy. Now get that hover thing of yours and let us pray that we quickly find the Master sword…"
