Chapter 2-The Posession
-----
After a seemingly endless journey through the space vortex, a rift opened in the blue Labrynnian sky and Link fell flat on his face. After coming to his senses, he sat up and looked around. "So this must be Labrynna," he sighed. After sitting there for some time, he heard a voice behind him.
"Help!" the voice cried. "Help me!" Link picked up a stone and stood up. What he saw was a woman surrounded by the tenacled monsters called Octoroks. The woman was Impa, Zelda's friend and nurse to Hyrule Castle. The monsters hadn't noticed him yet, and Link wanted to keep it that way. He hid behind a bush and threw the rock. It hit one of the Octoroks on the head, and he alerted the others. Link saw them charging and got in an offensive position. Octorok after Octorok came at him and Octorok after Octorok were booted up into the sky. Needless to say, they quickly retreated.
Then Impa walked to him to thank him. He noticed her skin was grayer than usual, but paid no attention to it. After all, she had been through quite a frightening experiance. "Link, I'm so glad you're here!" she exclaimed. "I thought it was the end of me."
Link laughed. "Good thing I came along, eh? So what are you doing in Labrynna?"
"Same to you," she remarked. "I am looking for a singer named Nayru."
"Well, I can help protect you and find her. Maybe she can tell me why I am here."
And so off they went in search of Nayru. They didn't encounter any more trouble after that, but they did come by a cut slab of stone with an unusual marking on it. "I... I'll just stay over here," Impa said. She shuddered and moved back. "I... I can't move it."
Link laughed again. "Don't worry, I'll get it." He mustered all of his strength and pushed. Suddenly, the markings on the stone glowed brightly, and the same symbol appeared on the back of his hand.
"Link! Your hand!" Impa cried. Link sopped pushing and leaned on the stone.
Suddenly, he cried out and fell as the slab moved to reveal an opening into the forest. Beautiful music flowed out and filled Link's ears. "So beautiful..." he said. "That must be Nayru." Impa merely nodded.
The duo crawled through into a beautiful forest glade. There were a few animals gathered around listening to the singer. She was an elf, such as the Hylians were, with long blue hair and blue eyes. She had a golden headband and a necklace of the same material and her dress was turquoise and sky blue. Next to her was a red-headed fierce-looking boy, with a cape and hat. His shoes wear curled up just a little, so that the point stuck into the air.
"Excuse me, sorry to bother you, but are you Nayru?" he asked the singer. She stopped singing and ran over to him.
"Are you Link?" she asked. "I've been waiting for you. I sense a great evil approaching the land."
"Yes, I'm Link," he blushed.
"I doubt we'll be needing you," the red-haired boy said. "I'm Ralph." He moved next to Nayru. "She is my friend, and I won't let anything happen to her or our world."
"Ralph, mind your manners," Nayru scolded. "I called him because he is the legendary Hero of Time." She turned to Link. "You will help us, right?" Link nodded. "I knew you would!" She gave him a kiss on the cheak. "Evil is coming, I feel it."
While nobody was paying attention, Impa came up behind Nayru and pulled a knife to her neck. "Pay attention, fools!" she exclaimed. "I am Veran, Sorceress of Shadows. Link, you fool, you let me in the sacred Forest of Time." She cackled with insane glee. Then a shadow lifted from Impa and her body fell limp. A new figure emerged. She had wicked looking hair and blue skin. "You will all pay for what you have done to the dark king. I will take the body of Nayru, Oracle of Ages!" Everyone gasped. The figure again formed into a shadow and went into Nayru's body. Her skin turned as gray as Impa's had been. The posessed Nayru raised her hands to the sky and shouted, "I will travel to the past and do as I please!" Lightning bolts crashed to the ground and a portal appeared on the cliff above them. The sorceress jumped to the cliff and traveled into the past.
Ralph was still in disbelief. "Nayru!!!!!" he cried as her ran off to save her.
'This was the evil she sensed, and I failed to protect her. Darn!' Link thought to himself. He went over to Impa. "Are you okay?" Link asked with desperation.
A groan emerged from Impa's mouth. "Link..." she managed to say. "Take this sword... Save Nayru." Link took the sword and picked up Impa. He brought her to the nearest house, which happened to be Nayru's and set her in the bed.
"I will save Labrynna."
