Oniwalu's storyChapter four
But what of Rlyda's other son, Oniwalu? He was left in the Sacred Realm, with his father, Rauru! What would become of him?Rauru ran back inside his house. He knew he had forgotten something, but what? Then he saw the child. A small, silver-haired child, his son. He wondered why his wife, Rlyda, had not taken him with her to Hyrule? He picked up the child, and ran out of the house. He stepped outside, and was immediately blinded by the fire that blazed through his town. He rushed through the village, shielding his son from the flames, until he reached the other end of town. Here, he looked away from his home, and saw that if the fire did not exist, this countryside would be very beautiful. He stood for a moment, thinking about what was over the mountains in front of him. Then the flames kissed his cloak, and he ran forward again. This time he did not stop until he had reached the front of the forest. Without thinking, he stepped inward, and was wrapped in darkness. He was surrounded by vines and trees, with no signs as to where he was. He pulled out the golden sword that he had in his cloak, and cut through some vines. They seemed to be alive. He rushed through, running forward, not even knowing where he was going. Eventually he came into a clearing. In the middle of the clearing, he saw a tall gray building, and he wondered why he had not seen it from his house. Then he realized that he was bleeding severely. He walked up to the door and knocked calmly. The door opened, and he stepped inside. He looked around the interior. At the center of this building was a pedestal. As he walked toward it, he realized that there was a sword embedded in it. He stepped closer to the sword, and it glimmered a golden glow. He stepped forward again, and realized that his son, who had been crying ever since they had left his house, was no longer crying. He put him down on the floor, and walked over to the sword. Suddenly, he heard a screeching sound from the ceiling. He looked up just in time to see a giant hand grab him and toss him outside. He stepped toward the door, and before he could touch the handle, it opened. He stepped in, and drew his sword. He felt a shadow coming over him. He jumped out of the way, just as the floormaster hit the ground where he had been standing. He slashed at it once, twice, and the third swing killed it. He found a health-replenishing orb, in the shape of a heart. He held it in his hands, and his wounds were healed. This did not surprise him; it was no unnatural phenomenon. He looked around for his son. He saw him sitting by the sword. He looked like he was about to pull it from the pedestal."Oniwalu, no!" the child stopped, with one hand upon the handle of the blade. Rauru walked over to the boy. "Oniwalu, you shouldn't play with that. You'll cut yourself." Rauru then proceeded to try and pull the sword from it's resting place, and was shocked by some electrical current running through its hilt.he was sent barreling back, and hit the door with a thud. He looked around even more. He saw a door in the back, with a giant stone eye that seemed to be looking down at him. He then knew that this was the Temple of Light, and concluded that he must guard it with his life, until Oniwalu was old enough to wield the "Sword of Light", as he called it. He built a house next to the temple, and never set foot inside it after he was done building it.Oniwalu grew up to be a very handsome man. By the age of 4, he was able to use a sword, although his father still would not let him use the Sword of Light. This puzzled him, and when he asked why, Rauru simply said, "Because." This answer further confused Oniwalu, urging him to ask, "Because why?" this would anger Rauru, making him say, "go home, Oniwalu, and don't come back for the rest of the day." Oniwalu would walk home, sad.One day, when Oniwalu was sitting at home, alone, he decided that he was going to go on a quest. So he did. He wandered out of the clearing, and immediately was attacked by the vine-creatures that lurked there. He ran home, and hid inside for an entire day. The next day, he went back into the forest, was attacked by vine-creatures, and ran and hid inside again. He repeated this for an entire month. On the first day of the new month, he walked into the forest, and was attacked again. This time, he defended, ripping a vine-creature from the tree, and started attacking the other vine creatures with it. Seeing that he could not defeat all these monsters, he ran out of the woods, and walked into the house. He saw a golden sword, possibly his father's, next to the hearth. He picked it up, and walked again toward the forest, sword held in front of him. He stepped into the forest, and to his surprise, he was not attacked. The vines cowered back into the branches, and allowed him passage. He walked forward, watching as the vines cowered away from him. He continued forward, until he reached the edge of the woods, and came out into the plains that were near his hometown. He walked toward the burned town in the distance. As he approached, he realized that this town had not been burned down recently. He wondered why no one had rebuilt it. He walked into the town, and found his answer almost immediately. There were no survivors. He almost vomited from the sight of all these dead bodies. He wondered what could have caused such a disaster. He wandered toward the village square. In the middle, he almost fainted from the sight of it; a pentagram. This was no natural fire. This town had been hit by brimstone, a sure sign that some great evil was coming. He looked up at the sky. He saw the clouds darken, and they seemed to form a face. But he saw a small green light in the face; it was a small boy, with a fairy. He knew then that whatever this horrible evil was, it would be disposed of by that boy. And there was a familiarity in the green light. He then realized that he was standing directly in the middle of the pentagram. He looked up, just in time to see the clouds grow larger and larger, and he saw a vision of what could only be described as a different world. He watched, as the vision came closer, and soon, he was able to look around him, and see everything. He saw a boy. He saw a giant tree, with some great evil floating inside him somewhere. The boy would soon go into the tree and extinguish the evil, but it would be in vain; the tree was going to die. Oniwalu saw a fairy. He saw a princess. He saw an entire race of rock people. He saw a race of fish-men. All of them powerless against this greater evil, but he knew that when the boy helped each of them, that they would be able to join forces and defeat this great evil. And the vision faded.
But what of Rlyda's other son, Oniwalu? He was left in the Sacred Realm, with his father, Rauru! What would become of him?Rauru ran back inside his house. He knew he had forgotten something, but what? Then he saw the child. A small, silver-haired child, his son. He wondered why his wife, Rlyda, had not taken him with her to Hyrule?
