Prologue ( what happened last time)





Ganondorf sat there and relayed the whole story to the rest of the party. He told them about going to see who that dark power was coming from. He told them the size of the army, the magic Lizarians and the way they withstood his magic. He told them that he barely made it out alive. " The whole of Hyrule doesn't stand a chance if we don't find a way to stop them." He said. No one said anything. Then a voice from the shadows spoke, " perhaps I can help." Everyone gasped and Link whirled around and drew his sword. The person stepped out of the light and Link instantly recognized her. It was Impa, the Sheikha who was Zeldas bodyguard and the sage of the Shadow temple. " In order to know how to stop the Lizarians, you must first learn how they disappeared in the first place." The party sat down and Impa started to tell them the legend of the Lizarians.





Chapter 11

The group sat down as Impa began to tell them the legend of the Lizarians. " The legend of the Lizarians goes back to the time just after the three goddesses created the land of Hyrule. As you may or may not know, the three goddesses we know of were not the only gods in existence at that time. Many gods existed at that time, some were kind and loving, some were evil and petty. The three goddesses that we know of, the ones who after they created the land of Hyrule created the Triforce, were among the kind gods. They made beings that were kind and loving and who would live in peace with each other. They were the Hyalin race, the Zora race, the Goron race and the Deku race. These races lived in harmony for many years, until another race emerged. They were the Lizarians, a race that was similar to the Zoras, except they were reptilian, not amphibian. They were cold, and emotionless, they were merciless and any who stood against them were decimated instantly. They were led by a Hyalin man who had come under the sway of a Evil god. This God had created the Lizarians to destroy this and any other world he chose. They were made of pure Evil and it seemed would consume the whole of this land. The races created by the three goddesses were on the verge of being wiped out. Now what no one knows except a few of the Shiekah is what happens next. The three goddesses formed themselves back out of the Triforce to help their races. They decided to create a man who was the whole essence of the goddesses power, yes he had the whole of the Triforce power within himself. He was the most powerful being in existence. He lead a group of people from all races to fight the Lizarians and stop this Hyalin man. NO one knows for sure what exactly happened when the man of the Triforce and the man who was leading the Lizarian army met. We do know that after they met the Hyalin man was killed and the Lizarian army disappeared. No one knew for sure wither that meant they left or actually disappeared. Eventually peace returned to the land and everyone forgot about this bloody episode. A council of the races met and decided that all records of this would never be put into the history books. The only knowledge of this event would be intrusted to the Sheikahs in the event that it should happen again."

" So how does this story help us" Ganondorf interrupted. Impa looked at him and creased her lips. ' If I could continue, I will reveal that to you." she said. " So to continue, the council left the story only to the Shiekah to keep until the time that it was need. After that the most powerful magicians in the land went to search for the man who ended this war. They looked all over the land for many years. Then three years after their search they found him in the desert that would become the Gerudo desert. He was weak but still alive. He told them of the battle that ensued when he had met with the Hyalin man who commanded the Lizarian army. The fight had been long and vicious, but in the end, he imprisoned the Dark man into a void for all of eternity. By doing this he broke the hold the evil god had on him. The man had been so corrupted that there was no hope of removing the taint. So the man would remain in this void for all eternity. Before the man of the Triforce died he spoke these words. " I must pass but before I do hear this. There will come a time when the evil that tried to consume this land will come back. I will be gone by then, but in my death I will pass part of the power to three separate people. One will be of true royal blood, the other will be a powerful wizard; the third will be a man who has a pure heart. They will carry 1/3 of the Triforces power in each of them. They will pass it down to their decedents. When the evil comes back the only way to stop it is if the three decedents who posses this power come together to stand against it. Alone they will be unable to stop this evil, however when they are together they will grow in strength. He also said that they will have met before this time to fight one another. He said " The wizard will try before this time to control the world. The other two will rise to stop him, this will set in motion the chain of events that will bring back the Evil One and the Lizarians. This is unavoidable, this will be the first in a series of events. After this time there will be fifteen years of peace, and then they will be called upon to unite and fight this evil. This will be difficult for they will not trust each other, but they must. So it shall be that the three who posses 1/3 of my power each shall fight the evil and end it for all eternity."

The group sat there and said nothing for a long time. Link looked at Ganondorf who in time looked back at him. They were thinking the same thing, they knew that they were two of the three people. They also knew who the third was. Ganondorf stood up and stretched, " So what do you say Link, should we go now and get her"? Link said nothing fighting with the emotions in his head. He did want to see Zelda again, but not like this. " We can't ask her to do this. She has a Kingdom to run. She can't go off on this foolish quest. Plus it is just a legend anyway. How do we know that the story hasn't gotten mixed up over the years. NO I will ask Zelda to risk her life for a story." Link was so angry his face was beat red. How could this happen again, him and Zelda and Ganondorf once again brought together by destiny. How many times would these three be brought together? Why them? " Do any of us have a chose in this" he asked Impa. Impa said nothing, she just shook her head. Link didn't want to hear anymore of this, he got up and stormed out the door. Malon tried to stop him, but Ganondorf stopped her. " Let him go, he needs time to think" he said softly.

Link stormed out of the house into the dark air outside. The moon was still covered, but the torches around the house illuminated the area between the barn an the house with a faint orangish glow. Link kicked over a barrel and hit a create with his sword. This is unfair, what had he done to deserve this. He had already saved two different lands from a fate worse then death. Link had thought that he had done those things partly because he was more courageous then most. This was partly true, he did posses the courage part of the Triforce; but now he learned that this was all part of a destiny that he could not change. Link didn't want to believe it, he had done those thing, not because he was brave or anything but because he was predestined to do so. Link hit some more things and then walked over to the fence that lead into the horse pen and sat on top of it. He had been sitting there a long time when he heard someone come from behind him. " Go away" Link said. " I know how you feel right now" Ganondorf said. " I also find it hard to accept this. If this legend is true then I was destined to try and take over and be defeated by you and Zelda before I was even born. Trying to accept that I am just part of a destiny that I have no control over is extremely hard for me. I know that you are mad, mad that you have no control over this. Mad that you are now realizing that your actions in the past was predetermined and not your own. I have realized something though. Even though it was determined before we were even born, we control how that destiny unfolds. You could have chosen to not fight me fifteen years ago. I could have chosen not to try and take over this world. Zelda could have chosen not to help you in defeating me. What would have happened then? The prophesy would have passed own to our decedents, they would have fought each other and then worked together to fight this evil. We made this our destiny because we chose to make those decision. Think about the hundreds of our ancestors who lived and did not fight each other or this evil. I have come to the decision that the reason we are faced with this, is because we are the best embodiment of the three sections of he Triforce. You best embody the courage and bravery aspect. I best embody the power aspect and Zelda best embodies the wisdom aspect. It is now up to us to fulfill that destiny we have chosen for ourselves, and destroy this thing once and for all."

Link sat there for a long time, he heard Ganondorf walk away. He knew that Ganondorf was right. He knew that although his ancestry had doomed one of it's decedent to this fate, his actions made it his own fate. Link got up and headed back to the house. As Link got closer he could feel his whole body starting to tingle. He looked at his hand and the triangle that was the Triforces power was starting to glow brighter. As he got closer and closer it glowed more and more brightly. Link began to wonder why it was acting this way, then he thought of something. Link ran to the house and flung open the door. His suspicion was right, there sitting in a chair, wearing the Sheik outfit was Zelda.
