---------CHAPTER 9:Prophecy---------
After a long day Link decided it was time to go home.Twiggy could handle reporting to Princess Zelda and the King on his own,but Link was just out of energy.He went out to Hyrule Field and glanced at the falling sun.He noticed how chilly it was out at dusk.Just as well though,Autumn was coming and the days were starting to shorten and the temperature outside was starting to cool.Wolfos were starting to migrate out of Hyrule,and White Wolfos were starting to migrate in.It was really a beautiful time of year though.
Link wanted to get home fast,so he really pushed Epona to the brink of her speed.Link was very hungry.He hadn't ate since Breakfast,and Exica was supposed to be making roast and baked potatoes tonight,which was Link's personal favorite.When he got home,he saw his daughter,who appeared to be very angry for some reason."You didn't say goodbye to me this morning"!Saria squeeled.Link just grinned at her and sat down at the table.
"Dinner should be done in just a moment Link".Said Exica.Link got up and walked tword Exica,and then embraced her in his arms."I missed you".Said Link."Please,you sound like you've been gone for a month".Said Exica."It felt like even longer than that".Said Link.Exica just smiled and gave Link a kiss on the cheek."Ewwww,don't get all mushy and stuff".Said Saria.Both Exica and Link looked at their daughter and laughed.
"Supper's ready everyone".Said Exica.They all sat at the table and started eating.Both Exica and Saria noticed that Link was eating incredibly fast,but it wasn't abnormal for them.It was usual for Link to come back from a strenious mission or battle and eat like a pig.About two hours later Exica tucked Saria into bed and went back to the living room to talk with Link.Exica usually could tell when something was troubling Link,it was fairley easy to tell.
"What's wrong Link?I haven't seen you this troubled in a long while".Asked Exica."It's just.It's just that i've had a lot on my mind lately.I mean,what exactly is going to happen in three months anyway?I just wish that Rauru wasn't such a mysteriously vauge sage.He felt the disturbance,Saria felt the disturbance,even Princess Ruto felt it.All of the sages seem to really want to tell me something.But why can't they just spit it out"?Said Link."Well i'm sure they have their reasons,and it's kind of their job to be vauge and mysterious.Besides,I don't think they are even sure themselves about what's going to happen".Said Exica."Well,maybe your right.That and i'm really tired,can we go to bed now"?Asked Link."Sure Link".Said Exica.
That night Link had another dream.Although this time it wasn't as comforting as the dreams he had spent in the Sacred Realm.No,this dream was one that was very uneasy.One that Link did not want,but one he needed to dream.He found himself in an empty field,with nothing but his Kokiri tunic and his Iron Boots.He tried to walk around,but the weight of the Iron Boots was even more that usual,and he couldn't even walk one inch.He then felt the ground shake beneath him,but not like an earthquake.More like the whole ground had turned into jello.Then Link noticed his shadow on the ground.It appeared to be normal,until it started to run away from him.Link then noticed something strange,he was slowly sinking into the rubbery soil.
He paniced,but for some reason he didn't sink any further than his feet.Then he noticed dark storm clouds quickly enter the field.Bolts of lightning started hitting mere feet away from Link,their sound almost deafening.Then the lightning quieted to mere cat's meow,and Link noticed a mirror come directly in front of him.Link was totally perplexed at what this meant,so he simply continued to stare into the mirror.But then,in a flash as quick as the lightning ,Link saw an evil figure in the mirror.It looked just like him,only his skin was blood red and he had a wierd sharp pointed horn coming from the back of his neck.The figure's hair was purple and his eyes unlike Link's were the a devilesh yellow.It was wearing the exact same kinds of clothes that Link wears,except his tunic was black while Link's was green.
"I'm going to kill you now".Said a dark voice.Link then looked behind himself and saw his shadow holding up the master sword,wielding so it would strike Link right in the back."Say goodbye Hylian"!Screamed his shadow.Right before Link was struck with the pointy sword,he woke up.Link got up and out of his bed,he was streaming cold sweat from his hairline.His muscles had tensed and he noticed that he was shaking ,shaking in the way a child does after a terrible nightmare.
Link looked at the clock,it was still only 2:30 a.m.Link decided to go back to sleep,but it wasn't very easy.The next morning ,he found himself awake,but in a sick stuper.He didn't want to eat any breakfast,because his stomach was feeling really quezy.His wife gave him some medicine.When Link started feeling better,he quickly drank up a glass of milk and went outside to train.
