Chapter 8
(Since 7 years is too long to write about. Let's go right into 7 years.) Link and Zelda, all grown up, are climbing up the mountain. "Link, what if the volcano erupts again? I don't want to get burned like last time," Zelda said. "Don't worry Zelda. We'll go inside the volcano," Link said. "In the volcano! It'll make it worser for me!" "Zelda," Link said, "When was the last time the volcano erupt?" Zelda said, "Oh, let me see. Yesterday!" "Oh yeah," Link said stupidly. Ok, let's go to Goron City and look for Sheik." "Don't have to, I'm right here." Zelda and Link looked up and saw Sheik. Sheik jumped down and said, "Let's go inside." "Ok," said Zelda.
"No wait! Hey you guys, let's climb to the top and hide there. I see Crenimus coming again. Hehe, let's have a little fun with him," Link said. Shannon and Sheik laughed quietly and did as Link said. "Look around men! I know they're around here no doubt!" said Crenimus loudly. "Let's ambush them," Zelda said. She turned into Shannon and got ready to jump. But Link pulled her down and said, "Ok, we'll do that. But now is not a good time. When they're at our jumping distance, then we'll go." The three of them watched Crenimus and his guards walk around. "Sir," one of the guards said, "I'll go up there to check." Crenimus said, "All right, let me know if they're up there. I want to tell the King that I found them."
Just when the guard was going to climb up there, Link said "Now!" and the three of them jumped down and attacked. Shannon fought 5 guards at the same time. Sheik punched guards to get his way through. Link used his sword and fought with the other guards. "Haha! Try and get me!" Shannon yelled. She jumped in the air and ran on each guards' head. Then she pushed them down and jumped on their backs. She started to beat them up. Some guards ran away. Shannon laughed, "That's right! Run away you cowards! Haha!" Link fought down as many guards as he can. Some he slashed on the stomach and some he punched or kicked. He used his spin attack a lot and Sheik was beating up any guard that comes his way with ease.
When that was over, all the guards panicked and ran away. Crenimus said, "I'll be back! And when I do, you'll be sorry!" Link, Shannon, and Sheik laughed out loud. Shannon said, "Hey Crenimus! You've been doing that for the last seven years already! Haha!" Crenimus didn't say anything and ran away with the others. The three of them kept on laughing. Link said, "Wow, what a work out. Let's get food at Kakariko Village. I'm starve." Sheik and Shannon followed.
When they got there, they went to the house close to the bottom stairs. "We'll go eat with Marla, she always allows us to eat there," Link said. The three of them went up to Marla's door and Link knocked. The door opened and Marla came out. "Hi you guys, here to eat again?" she said. "Oh boy! We sure are!" Shannon said happily. "Don't mind Shannon, she was able to defeat some of Crenimus's guards again," Link said. Marla laughed, "Ok, let's go inside, I've got turkey today. And so with mash potatoes and gravy." "Yay!" yelled Shannon.
Link sat on a chair, Sheik was leaning on the wall, and Shannon was watching Marla make the food. "Wow Marla," Shannon said, "I bet not even the Princess would have something this good!" Marla said, "Well, I'm not all that good. I just cook to help people." "But we're not poor and you still help us. We can pay you if you want," Shannon said. She took out a money back and showed it to Marla. Marla said, "It's ok, you don't have to pay me. I just cook for fun." Shannon frowned and said, "Well, then I'll give you a tip ok?" Marla said, "Like I said, you don't have to pay me. I just cook for fun. But if you insist, then I'll take it." Shannon smiled and gave her 10 rupees. Marla didn't really want to take that much, but she took it to be polite.
"Ok everyone, the food is ready!" said Marla happily. "Yay!" Shannon said, "Hey, Sheik, aren't you going to eat?" Sheik said, "I don't have to eat. I never do remember?" Shannon said, "But you've got to eat sometime Sheik." Shannon stood up and took an empty bowl and put turkey in it. Then she got a fork and stuck a piece on it and went up to Sheik. She put it close to Sheik's mouth and moved the fork around saying, "Come on Sheik, here comes the Choo Choo Train! Choo Choo!" Link and Marla laughed. Sheik said, "Shannon, I don't eat ok? Now could you stop that 'Choo Choo Train' and forget about it?" "Fine," she said. She sat on her seat and said to Link, "Hey Link, I bet I can beat you before you finish your food! So what do you say?" "Shannon, can we do that another time. Just yesterday, you got mad that I won and you 'accidentally' spelt your soup on me," Link said. Shannon didn't say anything and ate.
After they were all done, they said thanks to Marla and headed for Death Mountain. When they got to the gate, Link said, "You guys, we shouldn't live here forever. I think it's about time we moved to a different place that's safe from Crenimus." "Yeah, I was waiting for you to say that sometime," said Shannon. "It was nice living up there though. I got use to that place. It felt like home for a life time," Sheik said. "Ok, then let's get a move on," Link said, "Let's go up there and get our stuff first."
At Goron City, Link told Daruana that they were leaving. Daruana said, "Well, it was nice for you to live up here ever since you were small Link. I hope that this is what you want to do." Link nodded and said, "I'll come back sometime to see you again ok?" Daruana nodded and told the others to gather around. Sheik, Shannon, and Link got all there stuff and spoke with the Gorons for a while, then they said bye and left. "Well, it was nice living up there," Shannon sighed, "I liked it when we were able to watch the volcano erupt and watch Crenimus's guards panic. Haha." The three of them walked down quietly without a word until they got down to Kakariko Village.
"Let's go to Lake Hylia for a while it would be nice to go swimming," Shannon said. "All right," Link said. "I don't think I'll be going with you," Sheik said. "Why?" Shannon asked. "I have to go visit my mother, Impa. I'll be staying with her for 3 months. So I'll see you guys around." "Awe, Sheik, do you have to go every year?" Shannon asked sadly. "Ofcourse I do. Now, if you all don't mind, I'll be going now. Bye." Sheik took out a Telenut and slammed it on the ground. When Link looked up, he was gone. It was only Shannon and Link. "Well, it's just us two again eh Link?" Shannon said. "Yeah, it is," Link replied. He took out his Ocarina and played Epona's Song. Epona came and Link went on. So did Shannon. "Let's go to Lake Hylia," Link said. Shannon agreed and went with Link.
When they got there, Link got off Epona. He told her to go off again while he goes on the little island. "Where will we stay here for the night?" Shannon asked. "Over there on the island. Or maybe on the net that's in the laboratory. We can ask the scientist there," Link said. "I'd rather sleep outside again. It'd be nice to watch it become dark." Link took some blankets and went to the island. He lied them on the ground and climbed on to the tree. He took out his Ocarina and began to play Zelda's Lullaby. Shannon changed back into Zelda and went on the tree also. She leaned on Link and watched the sun go away.
"It's so nice to be out here Link. We get to look at the beautiful water and watch the sun set," she said. Link said nothing and kept on playing. "Uh Link," Zelda said, "Do you know any other songs? If you do, I would like to hear them please." Link took out the Ocarina from his mouth and said, "I know several songs. I can play Epona's Song." "Already heard that," Zelda said. "How about Saria's Song?" "Ok I'd like to hear that," she said. Link played that Ocarina again with Saria's Song. "Link? Do you want to talk to me?" Saria said. Zelda gasped from the mysterious voice. Link smiled and said, "Don't worry Zelda, it' just Saria." Zelda nodded and leaned on Link again. Link said to Saria, "Saria, would you like to play your song together with me? It would make a nice background for Zelda to hear." "Sure!" Saria said. Link and Saria played together. Zelda listened. Her body moved with the beat and it almost seemed like she was dancing.
After that, Link said, "Thanks Saria I got to go ok? Bye." "Bye Link," Saria said. "Would you like to listen to the Song of Time?" "It's ok, you don't have to, I've heard that song. I know how to play it, too," said Zelda. "Ok, how about Song of Storms. It would rain though if I played it." "No, I don't want to get wet," she said. Link said, "Would you like to hear the songs that help me teleport?" "Ok, I would like to teleport to where ever it takes us," Zelda said. Link jumped down and Zelda followed. She held Link's arm and watched Link play a song. "This song is called Minuet of Forest. It'll teleport us to the Sacred Forest," he said. Link played it and they teleported. Zelda closed her eyes and listened to the music. When she opened her eyes, she was in a different area.
"We're here Zelda, the Sacred Forest. Hey look, there's Saria. Hi!" Link said. Saria stopped playing her song and said, "Hey hi Link. How did you get here?" Link told her about his teleporting songs. "Oh you got it from the future. That's cool," Saria said. "I just came here to show Zelda that I can teleport. It's been a while since I've seen you though." "You've grown a lot Link. I thought you were a Kikiri, too." "No, I'm a Hylian. I've discovered it when I was in the future." "That's interesting. Should I tell the others that you're a Hylian?" "No don't, I want to tell them myself. Good-bye." Before Link lefted, he felt the mysterious misty wind again. It didn't bother him much. Link played Bolero of Fire and disappeared with Zelda.
When they got there, Zelda said, "Link! It's hot in here! Is this the Death Mountain Crater!" "Yeah," Link said. Zelda panicked, "Get us out of here!" Link said nothing and made his Kikiri Tunic flash into his Fire Tunic. Zelda gasped and said, "Or we could try that. Hehe." Zelda held Link's hand and walked around with him. She said, "Is that the Fire Temple? We've never been in there." Link said, "How about if I show you that place later? It's becoming dark.
Let me play Nocturne of Shadow. That'll take us to the graveyard." Zelda's eyes widened, "Uh I don't think I want to go and see dead people. What if a ghost comes out! Besides, it's going to be dark!" Link said, "Don't worry, we'll be a distance away from the tombs." Zelda held Link's arm tightly from the fear of the Graveyard. He played Nocturne of Shadow and they were gone. Zelda kept her eyes shut. "Zelda, open your eyes and look," Link said. She slowly opened her eyes. Then she saw that she was behind a fence. "Wow, look at all the graves. Ah! Look, there's ghosts!" Zelda held Link's arms even tighter. Link said, "Uh Zelda, they're called Poes, and can you get off my arm? It's beginning to hurt." Zelda said, "Oh, sorry, what if they see us?" "Then we'll go," Link said.
Link said, "This song is called Requiem of Spirit." He played the Ocarina and they were off again. When Zelda opened her eyes. They were in a desert. "Where are we?" Zelda asked. Link said, "This is Desert Colossus. And that over there is the Spirit Temple. I think Nabooru is in there right now. Do you want to go on there?" Zelda said, "It's really cold here Link. Can we go now? Is it ok if we go in there later?" Link said, "Ok." Link played Serenade of Water and they ended back at Lake Hylia on the little island.
"Oh I get it now!" said Zelda, "This gray Triforce that is on the ground is where we land everytime you play a teleporting song." "Yeah," said Link. "You should teach me those songs sometime just in case I have to go to one place to another. Well, it's dark. I'm going to bed. Goodnight." Zelda got down on the blankets and took one for her. Then she dozes off to sleep. Link climbed on the tree again and played Zelda's Lullaby.
(Since 7 years is too long to write about. Let's go right into 7 years.) Link and Zelda, all grown up, are climbing up the mountain. "Link, what if the volcano erupts again?
