~~Two Days Later~~
"Link,it be the time where you'll have to part ways with us and start your journey on Zecherus",said Nayru.Link was standing on a large stone-marble platform,with a triforce symbol ingraved on it.Around him all three of the goddess sisters stood,at each point of the triforce."Listen Link,we still do not know.....know the location of the Qyzeria Mist",Nayru added,her eyes looking sad."But....with luck you will find it quickly.Without luck it may take you months",Nayru said,her eyes even droopier than before.
"Listen Link,I have vital information to tell you",Farore butted in."The planet's reigning spieces is a race of peoples called Wuquerts,they are about as smart as hylians and they are the most intellegent beings on Zecherus.If anyone will be able to help you there,it's willing to be Wuquert",Farore said as she handed the floor back to Nayru."We will send you to a small village there called Deruni Town.It's the nearest place to Jukulee Castle,where the king and queen of Jukulee live.The country of Jukulee,we have strong beliefs that the Qyzeria Mist is somewhere there",said Nayru as she stepped down and turned her head to Din.
"Ahem,there are a few more things to do before you go Link,so listen closely.First of all,your Kokiri clothing will not do.Zecherus is simply too dangerous if you think you'll survive wearing a simple piece of cloth.You need some armor,and the best armor is what I am about to give you",Din said as she started twisting her arms into knots and shapes.Link quickly figured that she was doing some kind of magic spell,and anciously awaited the results.After she stopped,a big bowly chest appeared in front of Link.He quickly opened it,and found a large collection of metal armor inside.
"This is the strongest armor in the known universe Link,but even with it remember,Zecherus is not any less difficult",Din added in a worried manner."Don't worry Din,I won't let it go to my head",Link said as he quickly strapped on the steel garments.He was now equiped with the scabbard which held his Helix Sword,a quiver full of arrows,and an amazingly powerful shield given to him yesterday by Din called the Gortsinlatem.It was the strongest made object in the known universe,or at least as Din had told to him.
"Okay,it be time to start Link.Are you absolutely ready"?Nayru asked,as if to give a final precautionary warning."Yes,I am ready",Link said dead seriously.He stood there,statue like,in a way as if he was a soldier in the army.He was ready,or at least as ready as he would ever be."Okay Link,may the power of the Triforce guide you Link",Nayru then stepped back off of the platform.She then raised her arms in the air,and stared into the sky,blankly.
She was quickly followed by Din,and then Farore.They closed their eyes tightly,and small,thin strands of energy started flowing from their palms.Each of the line thin strands matching the colors of the spell's provokers.The ground started shaking ,a shaking feeling which Link was more than familiar with.He had almost gotten to the point where he didn't fear earthquakes at all anymore,but his basic earthly instincts couldn't be denied,even if he did hold the Triforce of Courage.
A large light blue cylinder of light then started to form around Link's body,and the space inside of it started to get tighter and tighter.That was until it got to the point when Link was totally enclosed inside of the now body-tight energy appercion."Gryu-Hik-Hiyu"!Link heard the goddeses chanting ,in perfect unison.They began to chant louder,and louder,and louder still.Link then felt a strange sensation pierce through his body.Not neccesarily a painful feeling ,but more of a wierd jolt of energy.Then,everything became blurry,very blurry.Slowly but steadily he dazed into a comatose like state.It wasn't until he heard the last voices of a very quiet and distorted Farore that he passed off into slumber.
The next thing Link knew,he was standing once again in the Sacred Realm."What am I doing here"?Link thought to himself.He was supposed to be on Zecherus,not once again within the catacombs of the Light Temple.Then,Link was startled to see Rauru come from what appeared to be nowhere.He stood upon the Light Medalion shaped platform,with his arms above his head,as if he had just teleported(which he had probley done).Then,just as out of the blue as Rauru's appearence,the other five sages instantly circled around Link.
Rauru,Saria,Durania,Ruto,Impa,and Naburoo,they were all there.They were gathered,all with terrified looks on their faces."Must of figured out what was going on",Link thought."Wait sages,there is still one more person to show up",Rauru immediatly said before anyone else could say a word.Link knew who Rauru must of been refering to,and sulked to the ground.Being in the presence of Zelda,even to this day,made Link terribly sad,and he always had to hold his tears back whenever he had to speak to her.He loved Zelda more than life itself,but sadly circumstances beyond his control would never allow him to be with Zelda.
Sure,the common townsfolk thought that a marrige between the Hero of Time and the princess of Hyrule would be romanticly symbolic,but none of the Royal Family thought the same way.The Royal Family did love Link like a son,but they weren't just about to let Princess Zelda wed anyone at a lesser social class than prince.Relectantly,Zelda eventually married Prince Vezieara,who was the son of King Higloy,the king of Merkanios.Merkanios,Hyrule's neighbooring country to the east.
Link only loved one other woman in the way she loved Zelda,and she too would be impossible to have as well.Sure,he loved his wife with all of his heart,but just not to that extent.Exica was the one he loved and chose to wed,but she wasn't neccesarily Link's most beloved in the world.It was trully tragic and sad,that the Hero of Time couldn't even be with the women that he loved and wanted to be with.
Just as Link had dreaded,Zelda was the last person to show up.When they all gathered,Rauru finally faced Link and began to speak."Link,you are here in the Sacred Realm in a kind of pit-stop before your finally departure to Zecherus",Rauru answered to the question Link was probley going to ask."That is not the only reason either Link",Zelda calmly interupted."Yes brother,it is not all.As the sages we have been informed by the gods of the current situation",said Durania,who was extremely serious looking compared to his usually jolly self.
"To beat around the bush kid we just wanna wish ya' luck",Naburoo interupted,followed by a eye roll by both Impa and Princess Zelda."Very well put Naburoo,yes indeed,we do want to wish you luck",Rauru said as he turned the floor over to Saria,who was just itching to speak."Oh Link,my baby.I've known you since you were just a tiny infant.I would of never believed that you would grow up to be such a bold hero.Such a hero,saving the world and crushing evil more times than a person can count.I know your not going to like me to say this Link but.........be careful",Saria added,with her trademark worried look on her face.Link quickly rolled his eyes a bit,and started once again to listen.
"You better not screw it up Link"!Ruto demanded,in her usual snooty manner."Princess Ruto"!Zelda quickly barked back."Sorry,I mean good luck.Only a great man like you,my former fiancee',could destroy a creep like that Ganonlink",said Princess Ruto."Well that is really all Link,may the power of the triforce........",Rauru tried to say but was quickly interupted by Impa."Wait,there is one more thing I must do before Link leaves",Impa said as she slowly crept up twords Link.
"I want you to have this Link,I am sure it will help you on your quest",Impa said as she waved her hands around her head and sent a large flash of light through the air.When the light went away,Link managed to make out some kind of medalion necklace in Impa's hands."Link,this is an ancient treasure of the Sheikah people,which is called the um,ahem (clik,cak,pir,tis,duk).Translated into english I think it be called the Hesjook Pendant.According to legend,it is supposed to make a person more agile and skillful in combat",Impa said as she snapped the necklace around Link's neck.
Impa was right,and Link could feel a strange improved sence of power.A sence of strength and a feeling of wisdom.With that Rauru once again raised his arms in the air,which was quickly followed in unison by the other sages.Each of their properly themed medalions circled above their heads,and like a ghost in the night they each started to vanish,one by one.Quickly afterward,the Sacred Realm started to fade out of Link's view,replaced by a humbling infinate void of nothingness.But the nothingness was sharply interupted,in the most unatural and disturbing way.
A brown blood tainted hand came from nowhere and grabbed Link by the neck.And following the hand and arm was a scary,yet familiar figure.It was Ganondorf,and he had somehow made a temporary escape from the prison of hell to approach Link,in a not neccesarily welcoming way."Ha,ha,ha!So we meet again kid"?Ganondorf said,as evil cackles continued to pour out of his dark mouth."Leave me alone Ganon,I have things to do",Link said,in not the least bit scared way.
"Well,well,so it seems your heading out on another one of your little adventures huh Mr.Hero of Time"?Ganondorf said,while tightening his grip around Link's neck."I'm going to stop that vile creation of yours",Link said,as his words got a little more raspy."Hah,you fool!You may posses the strength to defeat me,but not a superpower like Ganonlink.Face it,you don't stand a chance kid",Ganondorf said,as he dropped Link to the ground roughly.
"Ganon,this time your going to play the fool.Ever heard of something called the Qyzeria Mist"?Link said,now cocky in his own underbrow way."Qyzeria Mist,no never heard of it.However,whatever it is you still don't stand any bit of a chance.Not only did I give that clone unimaginable power,but I also gave him the intellegence and skill to face an oppenant twice as strong ,not that anything like that could ever happen",Ganondorf said,still cackling."Argggggg"!Ganondorf screamed in utter suprise.He looked over and saw that his arm had begun dicinigrating."Oh no,not yet damnit"!Ganondorf bellowed,as the process began to quickly spread throughout his body."See you in hell kid"!Ganondorf yelled,just before he was totally ingulfed back into the dark world.
Link would not let Ganondorf emotionly manipulate him again.One time ago,after a long and tedius confrontation with Ganondorf,Link promised to himself that Ganondorf's mind games and head wars would no longer be allowed to get to him.Link was an adult now,and he couldn't just be hypnotised like a common child.Never-the-less however Link couldn't help by being disturbed by Ganondorf's sudden appearence.Ganondorf was just someone so evil,so troubling ,Link would never be able to forget him.
Now Link was back in the void,still teleporting twords Zecherus."This must be really out of the way",Link thought,seeing as how even at the speed of imagination he had about ten minutes before he would reach there.The goddeses had said that it had been on the sheer edges of the universe,the outer most rim.It was absolutely clear to Link then and there.Failure was no longer an option,and the mission was damn near impossible.He wouldn't give up though,as he was still the world,nay,the universe's only hope.
"Let's ride Epona again daddy"! Link heard suddenly.He looked around quickly,and found no one.Not a trace of any being within who-knows how many miles.He could swear though,he had just heard his daughter's voice,plain as day.Almost as if she had said it right in front of him.No longer was he troubled with the cruel memories of Ganondorf,and Ganonlink,but it was now replaced by a comfortable feeling.A feeling of home,unity,and love.A feeling he welcomed with a strange silent enthusiasum.
Link then noticed something,something that had started to happen.The white infinate void was clearing ,and Link little by little saw a tiny orb off in the distance.The white void was beggining to fade,and it was rapidly being replaced by a long expanse of night sky.It was full of stars and planets,and a small twinkling sun off in the distance."This must be what space is",Link quietly murmered as the tiny orb in front of him grew bigger and bigger in size.
Once he got to arm's length of the object,he realized that it was not an orb at all,it was a planet."Zecherus",Link whispered as he looked down at the barren and somewhat desert-esque landscape."The weather dosen't look too good down there",Link said a little more frankly as he began to enter the planet's atmosphere.Despite a strange burning sensation around his body,his quiet descent on to the planet was somewhat relaxing.That was until he noticed a large city,down below on to the ground."Must be Deruni Town".
