Hello! 'Tis me again. Welcome back to the fourth instalment of The Legend
of Zelda: the Urn of Genesis
I'd apologise for the lateness of this chapter but nobody cares that this chapter is late, in fact I think that there are only a handful of people who care about this fic – full stop! (And yes I know that was an exclamation mark! – so was that)
The good news is that THREE people reviewed the last chapter – I'm happy. Now somebody was quite close to the idea of the urn of genesis, but they only got it half right – I was angry with them to start with! But I'm fine now.
Disclaimers
Disclaimer one: I own Zelda. Well I probably would have if there weren't lots guards with better guns than me when I tried that hostile take over bid! Which means I don't own Zelda. But don't worry – I will try again!
Disclaimer two: These are English spellings not American. So it's colour not color. By the way, I know a couple of English people that have this problem when reading American story's so just in case… the different spellings don't just affect the word colour! (Yes – and I'm ashamed to say that one of these people is someone I'm related to!)
One last thing – there are a lot of flash backs in this fic – I don't know why I wrote it this way, I just did.
The legend of Zelda: The urn of Genesis (part 4)
It had been an interesting few days for our young hero. He was currently wondering through a maze of tunnels in the mountainside. It was, at least according to the sign at the entrance, the only way to get to the Goron village. Unfortunately the sign had also said that there were fatally deadly traps in every single route. However, Link didn't care about the traps. He had not meet one yet and he was in deep thought as to the events of the last few days.
He hadn't left Hyrule town for more than a few hours and was heading in the direction Impa had told him to go. He was looking at the mountain that stuck up above the skyline. 'I sure hope that the village isn't that far up' was a thought that ran through his mind. Unfortunately, he was so busy looking at the mountain that he hadn't noticed the horse.
"Link look out" Navi screamed at Link. He turned to Navi, and then he turned to look in the other direction.
"Agghhh" Link screamed as he dived out the way.
"Agghhh" Screamed the girl on the horse. Before even thinking (probably not a good idea) Link ran after the horse. "Help he's out of control" The young girl screamed. Link ran after the horse. He had managed to anticipate the horse's movements and it wasn't long till Link was running at the side of the horse. Knowing that this may be his only chance, Link grabbed the reigns and lifted himself up.
"Hi" he said to the girl who was now behind him. "Don't worry well have this horse stopped soon." Without even thinking (again!) he pulled on the reigns to slow the horse down. It didn't bring the horse to a stop but it did slow the horse to a more safe out of control pace. (Is there such a thing – or am I just going mad on this chapter!) Link then leaned close to the horse's head and whispered calming things to it and stroking its nose. Eventually, the horse came to a stop. Both Link and the young girl got off the horse. The girl couldn't have been more than eight years old.
"So what's your name?" She asked suddenly. Link was shocked at her first choice of words.
"Link"
"Well thank you for saving me Link." Came the reply from the eight-year old. "My name is Malon"
"Link, how did you stop the horse?" Navi asked. It was a question that he couldn't answer, even a few days later walking through the tunnels. How did he stop that horse? It turned out that the horse, whose name was Epona, was fine until they came across Link and Navi. For some reason, Epona just went out of control. Malon was so happy that Link save her life that she gave him a lift to Kakariko as she was headed there any way. He found that she live on the ranch that was in the village in the middle of the Hyrule field. The village had become a trading post for most of the races in the land. Upon arrival at Kakariko, Link had said goodbye to his new friend and carried on into the village.
'She sure was a cheerful girl' Link thought as he still wondered around this maze. He didn't even know where he was going but he didn't notice.
Not long into the village, he managed to find the start of the route up Death Mountain. Just as he was about to head out, when a woman came up to him.
"Are you Lank?" She asked. Link started at here for a few seconds.
"Err… Link, yes" he corrected her.
"Oh good. I hear that you were the one who helped out Malon deliver the milk to this village. For that I would like to thank you by giving you a meal and a bed for the night." Upon hearing this Link was delighted, but hesitant at first. He had to get to the Goron village fast. Then he remembered that he didn't have to go that fast, and the idea of free food and a soft place to sleep were to tempting to resist.
That night Link probably ate enough to last his entire quest. But still he was very thankful to his host. "Don't mention it" is all she would say. Link turned in as the sun set, hoping to rise with the sun and climb the mountain as fast as possible. But that's when it happened again.
'Who was that' Link trying to understand his dream. Twice in a row he had the dream, but both were different. Yet that voice…
"Ah Hero, I see you slumber again." Came the voice through the darkness.
"You? Who are you" Link demanded. This time, before he struck, he looked at his sword first, and noticed it was the same as the one in the last dream, but not the Kokiri sword.
"Ah yes, your sword" The voice. "Yes, you will be needing that wont you. Don't worry young Hero I will make sure you get it"
"What, this?" Link said looking at the sword. "But I already have a sword."
"Yes you do, but is it YOUR sword?" The Voice questioned. "Goodbye for now, Hero"
And with that, the darkness surrounded Link and he woke up. Link got up and again thanked his host for her hospitality and left. He headed for the mountain, to meet the Gorons.
'But how did he…' Link said questioning the next events. They were to bazaar for him to even try to understand. It was after what happened at the foot of the mountain that he started to believe that this voice might be a big help to him.
After a few hours of walking up a trail the ground shook. A red stoned (not drugged up!) beast rose up from the ground attacked Link. The creature towered over Link, and every time it moved, more dirt from in between the stones that made up the monster fell to the floor. It slammed what passes as its fist at Link, but he managed to jump back out of the way. He charged at the creature, but his sword almost smashed to pieces as it struck the body off Link's opponent.
"I think it's made of rock, Link" Navi said.
"I think you may be right" Link confirmed. As Link started to panic, a shriek echoed throughout the path and a giant bird swooped from behind the creature and passed right through the main body of it, destroying it. The monster torso turned to dust upon impact as the rest of the rocks crashed to the floor. Then the bird went over Link's head and grabbed his sword right out of his hands. Although more concerned that his sword was stolen, he could have sworn that the bird was an owl.
"Now what?" Navi asked, in question to the stolen sword. With no idea of where the bird went, Link made the only decision he could.
"I guess we go on" Link replied, downheartedly. He turned around. But instead of seeing the giant rocks of the creature lying dead on the ground, as he expected, he saw that the path was completely clear, except for one object. Link walked up to the object and saw a note attached to it that read
'Link
See hero, I said that YOUR sword would get returned to you. Our friend, the owl, will take the Kokiri Sword back to the forest and explain that you have a different Sword to use. Now young hero, you should go on up the path.'
Although it wasn't signed, Link had an idea of whom it was from. Link picked up the sword and pulled it from its sheath. He looked at the Sword and sure enough, down at the bottom, Link's name was engraved on it, just like in his dreams. Link attached his new sword and sheath to his back, and carried on up the path to the village.
'But… how…who' Links mind was full so full of questions, that there wasn't enough time for the first to be asked, before he asked the next. 'Who is he?" was still the main question in his mind. But there was no doubt in his mind that the Owl was sent to help Link.
"Oh, that's not good" Navi said after they read the sign at the entrance to the tunnels. Link looked at the Entrance.
"Well, I think that we should sleep here. It's sheltered and in the morning we can plan what we are going to do." So, after a few minutes, Link and Navi went to sleep in the entrance of the Death Mountain Tunnels. And, just like the last two nights, Link started to dream again.
"Ah Hero, I see you got your sword."
"Yes…" Link answered, still unsure of what was going on.
"Now Link" The voice said. "I'm going to need you to pay very close attention"
"Ok" Link said. Then the voice started rattling of words
"Right, Left, Right, Right, Forward, Lef, Rig, For, R, L, L…" The words got faster and faster till Link couldn't understand anything. "Ok?" the voice asked.
"I didn't get all that" Link said.
"That's ok, Hero. Just remember this. When you want to go right, go left. When you want to go left, go forward and when you want to go forward, go right." Before Link could complain about this voice talking in riddles, the darkness engulfed and Link woke up. Then, not long after starting out in the tunnels, Link went into deep thought about the past few days. (I.e. the start of this chapter!)
"HEY LINK!" Navi yelled for the umpteenth time. Link snapped back into reality.
"What?"
"Do you have any idea where we're going?"
"Yes of course I do." Then he looked at his surroundings, three passages, one to the left, one to the right and one straight ahead, just like every other junction in the tunnels. After thinking very worriedly he decided, "We're going that way." Pointing straight ahead. Link tried to get back to his deep thinking as they headed down the tunnel and he kicked a stone that was in his path. After the stone skimmed across the floor for a few feet, the floor shook and gave way. Luckily for Link, it was only a small section of floor about twenty feet in front of them. "Err…" Link said as he looked at the long, floorless passageway.
"And now what" Navi said flying back to the junction. "I guess I will pick, since you wanted to go forward and THAT didn't work" It was then that Link remembered.
"If you want to go right, go left," he muttered
"What?" Navi asked stopping in her tracks (if fairies make tracks!).
"I think we should go this way!" Link said, pointing to the path that was left. (AN remember they've turned back)
"And why should I trust you?" Navi said. "You could have gotten killed back there"
"Yes" Link started "But I didn't. Now come on." Link said as he walked off down the tunnel. After walking a few minutes, Link found a door and opened it. It didn't just lead outside, but also to a sign.
'Welcome to Goron Village.'
Navi was in shock
"How did you…?"
"Well I had this dream in which, I guess, all the directions for a safe passage in there were given to me. When I was in deep thought my subconscious obviously took these directions and guided me through. But then you snapped me out of my deep thinking. That's what the next part of my dream meant. If you want to go right, go left. If you want to go left, go forward and if you want to go forward go right. Since I did want to go forward, I had to go right!" Link smugly said to his fairy. With that, he walked into Goron village with Navi trying to keep up.
