The Reawakening
The First Chapter of the New Order

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ganondorf was banished to the Sacred Realm by the seven sages of the Sacred Realm. Link was transported back to his original time, seven years before, when his journey had begun. He stepped into the courtyard in Hyrule Castle. The young princess that had been looking in through the window turned to look at him. They locked eyes, and...

Oniwalu stepped into the Temple of Light. He knew what was about to happen, and so did not pull the sword from its resting place. Instead, he walked up to his father, and asked why he could not have the sword, like he always did. Rauru answered, just like he always had, and Oniwalu said, "Alright, then, I don't need it. Will you be home for dinner?"

"Why certainly, Oniwalu, I don't think anyone will be coming through this door anytime soon. I will be home in a few hours, I just have to make sure that everything is secure." Rauru walked over to the place where the Sword of Light rested, and placed his hand on the hilt. to his surprise, he was not electrocuted. the golden hilt was cold.

Oniwalu was about to walk out of the temple. He turned just before his father was about to pull the sword from its resting place! "Father! No!" Rauru stopped. "Don't pull the sword! If you do, something terrible will happen!"

"What could possibly happen just from me pulling a sword from a stone? Look, Nothing's..." Rauru pulled the sword, and a bright beam of energy shot out from the eye above the stone door. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Rauru screamed in agony as he was brought upward by the sudden burst of energy. Oniwalu looked on, simply shocked at what was happening.

Rauru continued on upward until he was pressed against the ceiling of the temple, and was crushed to death. then the eye closed, and the poor man's dead body fell to the floor. Oniwalu rushed over to his father's corpse.

"Father..." Oniwalu glared up at the eye. it was lifeless as it had been before. "I hate you...Show your true form, Evil one!" A blue light shone to where the Sword of Light was. the hilt of the sword disappeared, and there stood before Oniwalu the golden goddess, Nayru. Oniwalu just stared at her, angrily.

"Do not hate me," Din spoke calmly. "I did what I had to do. If he had succeeded in pulling the sword, you know exactly what would have happened. Ganondorf would have come through the portal, causing your demise."

"I don't care, Nayru," the child weeped. "I don't care about my own life. Why should you?"

"I care about your life because you are the one my sisters, as well as my only brother, have prophecized to carry the fourth force of our powers. You, Oniwalu, are the chosen one." With this, Nayru leapt into the air, and a flash of light lit the entire temple. she disappeared, and the golden hilt of the sword of light floated down in front of Oniwalu's feet. He picked it up. It was warm in his hands, and seemed to glow. He left the temple, and went to the house his father had built. He found the sword next to the hearth. it appeared to be wet. He picked it up, and it disintegrated in his hands. He looked at the powder that had been the sword, and looked around. he found a sack which he could put several items in, and put it on his back. he was still holding the golden hilt. he resolved to put it into his sack, and walked into the woods.

Oniwalu walked out of the woods and looked out upon the plain. He couldn't see any sign of civilization in his field of view. Now that wasn't true, he could see the remnants of a burning town in the distance. he knew that it was the town he was born in. He ran to the town. Unlike in his dream, the village was still burning. That's odd, he thought, How could a village be burning for ten years? He walked to the center of town, and was shocked to see that the pentagram was still there! He shuffled some dirt onto it in disgust, and it disappeared! soon after, rain started to fall, and the burning village was no longer in flames. Oniwalu looked around. every house in this town had been completely destroyed, leaving nothing but ashes on the ground. He walked over to one of the destroyed houses. He surveyed the rubble, and noticed a small dull glint of metal among the wreckage. he walked over, and picked it up. It was a sword! well, rather, the rusted blade of a sword. he was surprised that it had survived so long.
