Author's Note: From here on forth is not edited(broken into paragraphs,
etc). This is my first addition in quite some time. I've been spending all
my time writing, and haven't had a chance to place it here. Once the story
is finished(or when I have more time), I'll go back and edit. Thanks.
Chapter 4-A Villain's Appears The next morning Dunluyo and Zelda rode on horseback to the forest. They bade Rauru goodbye and left in a steady gallop. Soon, the horses began to tire, and they slowed to a trot. Dunluyo spoke to Zelda, "How do you know Rauru? What happened ten years ago?" Zelda smiled and spoke, "You are eager to know I see. Very well, I shall tell you a story. 17 years ago, there was a man by the name of Ganondorf. He was my father's right hand man. Unfortunately, one day, Ganondorf became greedy and betrayed my father, the king. Ganondorf sieged Hydiyomei and attacked after summoning hundreds of demons. Ganondorf won and was proclaimed King. He started a horrible era for Hyrule. 7 years later, a man by the name of Link came, and with the help of Rauru, he was able to defeat Ganondorf and imprison him in a void of darkness, known as the Zone of the Dead. Rauru was a wise man, and if not for him, Link would have never defeated Ganondorf. As for Taroshi, years and years ago, far more than I can remember, Link's father, Lance, sought to defeat Taroshi, who was corrupting people to become evil. With great difficulty, Lance defeated Taroshi, but during the final battle, his friend gave up her life to save Lance's, which caused Lance to finally beat Taroshi and kill him. However, before Lance's friend died, she had given birth to a newborn baby. Lance felt guilty for her dying, so he took the baby as one of his own, and he cared for the baby for many years. This baby was Link. And that's the entire story." Dunluyo thought for a moment and then spoke, "Amazing. I had never heard the story of Taroshi before. If we don't find Link soon, I don't think we will be able to beat Ganondorf or Taroshi by ourselves."
By noon they entered the strange forest. Life could not be heard anywhere. The dead sound made shivers go up Zelda's spine. The horses went at a steady pace as the duo searched for any sign that would show them any life of the missing Link. Soon they reached a cave opening. They both got off their horses and walked forward. A soft rustle was heard, and Dunluyo drew his great ash bow that he had carried throughout the trip, as did he carry a doubled bladed sword which had been past down from his father and his father before him. Zelda looked around sharply as Dunluyo pulled an arrow from his quiver and pulled it onto the string, ready to be shot at any suspecting travelers threatening their very life. Another rustle sounded. Dunluyo eyed every direction for sign of life. "There!" shouted Dunluyo, and he shot an arrow into the bushes. The noise had stopped. Suddenly a ball of energy flew at Zelda from her side. She turned towards it and screamed. Suddenly Dunluyo was in front of Zelda as the attack hit him in the chest. He flipped backwards and landed on his stomach. He didn't move. Zelda looked at him and gasped. "Mwuhahahahahaha....Well now, it seems I finally meet the lady behind the legend." Zelda looked over to a tall man floating in the air. She tried to see his face, but it was hidden by a black cowl, "Who are you?!" The man laughed, "Who I am is not important. It seems we are searching for the same person. Are you familiar with the man named Link, or perhaps Ganondorf?" Zelda screamed, "What do you know about either of them?!" The man smirked," I know more than you think. Just call me Taroshi. I am back from the dead, and my aim is as good as ever. I know you are looking for Link, but unfortunately, I can't let that happen. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll leave my friend to deal with you. Taroshi laughed an evil laugh and turned and flew into the dark cave. Zelda fell to her knees, then suddenly she heard a growl. She looked up quickly and eyed Dunluyo. She ran over to him and lifted him up. She tried to accomplish this, but could only sag his arm around her neck. She pulled all her strength together and put him on his horse. He hadjust finished strapping him to the horse when another shrill growl went out. Zelda stopped suddenly. She slowly turned around to see a creature on four legs. It was a small creature, all black with spikes on it's back. It started toward Zelda, then its eyes averted to the injured body of Dunluyo, and it grinned. Zelda stepped between Dunluyo and Torence's eyes, then turned and slapped the horse, and it reared up. Torence fell back startled as Zelda jumped on her own horse and followed the scared horse carrying Dunluyo into the cave. She traveled through the tunnels hearing the creature prowl behind her. A blue light appeared in front of them, and she galloped towards it. Time seemed to stop as she went through the blue light and into a chamber where a metal door shut behind them. The horse with Dunluyo was by a water wheel drinking his fill. She went over to the horse and got off. She slowly pulled off Dunluyo being careful not to damage his wounds any more than they already were. She looked around and saw a staircase. She carried him to the staircase while he mumbled some words. Zelda screamed and fell down as she looked to see the metal door viciously dented. She realized that the creature was trying to break through it. Another dent appeared, and dust on the ground shook. With one final blow the metal door gave way and crashed to the ground. The creature stood once again on all four legs as it eyed Zelda savagely. It gave out a howl and jumped at Zelda. She fell back as a claw cut threw her tunic, and she felt a hazy feeling sweep over her. Everything became dizzy as the creature prepared for a second attack, yet for some reason it backed away. It screamed and jumped forward, yet a sword struck out and hit the creature. It fell to the ground as a person of some sort walked over to Zelda. He looked down at her and then stumbled backwards. Then Zelda lost consciousness.
Zelda awoke in a bed. She suddenly realized all that had happened and jumped up. " Do not worry, you are safe now," said a shadowy figure in the corner. Zelda demanded, "Where am I? Who are you?!" The man smirked, "Calm down. You have been through a lot. The creature that followed you here has been slain. Your friend is all right." The man stepped into the light, and Zelda realized it was the famous Link, the Hero of Time. "Link? Is that you?" Link smiled, "Yes, it is I. It has been so long, ten years right? You are in a place called Termina. The bed that you lie in is of a cottage in a city called Clock Town. A decade ago I was traveling through the Forest of Rhoe, when suddenly a mischievous boy stole my horse and my ocarina. I went after him and ended up here. This is a parallel world to Hyrule. I defeated this boy, and presented to live my life here. I could not return, for there was no place to return to. The portal between the two worlds rarely opens, and it could open at any time. Until then, we shall stay here." Zelda shook her head, "No Link! Ganondorf has returned! Also, a man named-" Link cut Zelda short," Do not worry. I am fully aware of Ganondorf and Taroshi. I also know that Taroshi is here to kill me. Your friend awoke and told me all about it. Rest now, the night is still young." Zelda tried to speak further, but soon her fatigue swept over her, and she fell into a dreamless sleep. Link smiled and spoke to himself ," Well Taroshi, it seems that I will finally meet you. My father Lance told me a lot about you. You will fail just like Ganondorf did."
