The Mural

The Mural

Long ago, the battle with Link, the greatest swordsman Hyrule has ever known, and Ganon, the evilest creature the planet has seen, finally ended. A small boy around the age of twelve was hoping to one day be like Link was wandering around with his wooden sword and shield looking for a decent place to train. The boy wandered a bit to far and found a very old cave. He went inside the cave and he thought to himself, "Wow, this place is the best! What a perfect place to train." He took a look around then the road ended. He was standing in front of an empty pedestal. Just then a blinding light filled the whole cave, as the light faded the once empty pedestal was now carrying an old stone tablet. On the tablet was a mural of a man in green and a man in black fighting. On the side of the man in green was mystic Triforce but on the opposite side was a figure that looked like the Triforce except the triangles looked like a right side up V. he noticed that in the background there was a giant fire, "Wha…," the boy said confused, "HYRULE!?" Who were these fighting men? Why was there another Triforce? More importantly why was Hyrule on fire? There was only one creature that was probably as old as this mural and still living…, "The Maku Tree," exclaimed the boy, "Of course!" Later that day the boy came back to the cave and carefully took the old mural and brought it to the Maku Tree.

========================================

"Oh great Maku Tree," he said, " Do you know what this mural means?" he asked. "Can you tell me why our home is on fire!?" the Maku Tree looked at him and frowned " What is you name child?" Asked the Maku Tree in a calm yet relaxing voice. "My name? It's Toshiro" the boy said, "Well Toshiro, I do not know who created this or when it was created. This mural is probably older than I am. I sense strong magic in this mural." "Magic" asked Toshiro. "Yes, this was probably a warning of what is to come," " you mean the future?" asked Toshiro, " yes, the future it must have been made by your ancestors… no I am mistaken Hylians are not able to see the future. Then that means that this mural is an old artifact created by… Din, Farore, and Nayru the three ancient goddesses that created this world, the lands of Hyrule and its people."

A few days after that confrontation the Maku Tree introduced Toshiro to Link and they became fast friends. They trained together, and they grew up together. One year has passed and they still are inseparable, wherever one went the other followed. They were always up to something, this doesn't sound like Link, the courageous young boy that defeated Ganon, but it was him. Toshiro had turned him into a very hyper kid, but then Maku Tree had summoned them both and told them they could not play around anymore, they had to get serious and get back to training. The next day Link went to fetch his sword and shield and went to a field and started his training once more. Of course Toshiro had followed him and his dream of being like Link flared up again. He went to Link and asked him if he could teach him how to fight, the answer was yes.
