Chapter 4

            Malon wasn't just bored, she was bored stiff.  Being a puddle was one of the most boring things she had ever done.  The only plus was that during the transfer, she had received all of his memories.  She knew exactly what was going on.  She couldn't imagine being stuck here for 3,000 years.   Well, actually, she could.  She remembered it from his memories.  It was very confusing having multiple memories.  Suddenly, a fat face with white hair appeared in front of her. 

            "Hello," said the man, "My name is Rauru, I am aware that you cannot talk, and that you are a girl named 'Malon' and that you have Anyx's memories as well as your own. It was how I designed this prison, so that he could be killed and replaced. It didn't protect the innocent as much as I thought.  I am very sorry.  I am the red-haired boy from Anyx's memories. Link and I are going to capture him and bring him back so you will be free again. God be with you." and he disappeared.

Malon stared up.  "Someone knows I'm here!"  She thought. "YES!!!"

…

             Saria still felt different.  She had been in the village for about a week and she still hadn't seen Zane anywhere she had asked someone and they said "Bless You".  She was perplexed.  She had also wondered what had happened to her power.  She supposed it had vanished, but she wondered if he had stolen it.  She didn't miss it much, though.  If he had it though . . .  She didn't want to be called "orphan" anymore.  She wasn't angry at Link anymore.  She missed her old house so much.  Maybe she would see him soon.

…

            Anyx was watching Saria and reading her mind.  He cast another angering spell at her.  She stood up and stormed out, presumably to go yell at Link.  He smiled.  He would kill her soon, as she had given him an important gift.  He had aged so much those thirty years in the Decade Wars.  He was using the immortality to become younger (about 25) for ever.  No boy would stop him this time.

…

            Link was planning a plan.  He hadn't ever done this before so it was a little rough for him.  He planned to make up with Saria, and then get revenge for her anger.  Something else was bothering him, though. He had gone to Lon-Lon Ranch today to borrow Epona for his new adventure, and Malon was missing entirely.  Talon was putting notices all over the Hyrule Market, but she hadn't been found yet.  He was bothered. Rauru appeared on the floor nearby.

"Careful, I live in a tree!" Link said, "Hover or something."

Rauru hovered, eyes narrowed.  "Malon is trapped in the prison I created for Anyx."

"Oh, crap."

"I agree.  We will have to capture Anyx and switch them again. Then I will destroy it."

"One last thing," Link said, "How exactly did you live 3,000 years?"

"I stayed in the Light World." He said and vanished.

"Yeah right, he used a spell" Link said before going to sleep

…

            Link dreamed.  He dreamed that a shadow was following him through an endless desert, and he fell into pit.  Inside the pit was an hourglass.  He reached up and touched it and the world spun.  He woke up.

…

            Anyx was plotting a plot.  He usually just let it slip and improvised, but this boy was powerful.  He would watch for distractions from watching The One this time.  Anyx had created a diabolical time machine to send the boy into the past before Anyx had come back.  Anyx had already taken over the Gerudo (not terribly difficult) and luckily, everyone had forgotten who he was.

"My, what a brilliant plan." Anyx chuckled.
