Seeking the Old Women
The bright blue light dimmed and eventually faded as Link and Zelda neared the ground upon arrival in the Temple of Time. After a minute of relaxing, Link reminded Zelda of the task at hand, and they left the doors of the sacred temple. Once outside, Zelda told Link they should take the path behind the temple to the castle, that way they wouldn't cause any commotion walking through the town, she was the princess after all.
"I wish someone would have told me about this path when I needed to see you many years ago. Instead I had to tip toe around the front of the castle, risking my neck" said a sarcastic Link.
"This path was blocked off up until a few years ago, once peace was restored, they opened it back up since no one rarely comes back here, so stop your whining." said Zelda.
"Yeah yeah….anyways, what are we going to do once we get up there? We cant just walk in and go to the dungeon."
"I know, I figured we would go in through a hidden path in the garden just outside the castle walls. We might have to climb down, when I was little I was digging out there and I almost fell through…so I covered it up incase I would ever need to sneak down there. Good thing I did, huh Link?"
"I guess so."
They then fell silent as they approached the garden. They snuck around quietly and walked softly, they didn't want to get caught, nor fall down the hole on accident.
"Found it!" yelled Zelda. "I'll go down first, then you come down after me. I will light the torch that should be near by where we land. Alright!? Here I go."
As she started climbing down, Link looked around with wide eyes, making sure not to be caught off guard by, well, a guard. Zelda slowly started to disappear as she climbed down the hole, it looked like she was being ate by the darkness.
"Link, its dark down here, I cant see a thing."
"Stay low, and near the side of the wall you climbed down and don't move a inch."
Link then pulled out his bow, and reached for a fire arrow out of his quiver. He arched the bow string back and aimed low, then he let it go, cutting the air with sharp precision.
"Are you trying to kill me Link? I felt that fly right near my head. Could it have been any closer, Hero?" said a nervous, yet sarcastic Zelda.
"Pick it up by the feather end and use that to find the torch Zelda, I'm on my way down."
"Okay."
As Link reached the bottom, the dank and musty dungeon lit up a little. It almost seemed as if the dungeon grew darker with gloom. They both looked at each other, then headed off towards the main corridor of the dungeon. Once they got there, Zelda pointed at a cell with an old women sitting in her chair facing the wall.
"That's her. Go talk to her Link, I will be over here, if you need me, just let me know." said Zelda.
Link nodded and started walking closer to the cell. As he approached, the woman seemed lifeless, not moving a muscle. She then tilted her head up, and to the side. Link then dug down and tried to speak, but nothing came out.
"I knew you would come see me, Link. It is your destiny." said the old women.
She then turned around and looked Link in the eyes with a welcome stare. She looked very old and tiresome. Her presence was amazing, Link felt overwhelmed standing before her.
"My name, Link, is Aria. I came her to tell you about your father when the guards became hostile and locked me in here. Before I tell you anything about your father, I wish to tell you a story, would you listen?"
"Of coarse, but…" Link was cut off.
"Very well then, here it goes…"
