*Previously, Ganondorf, controlling Din, escaped from the Evil Realm to
steal the Triforce. Luckily, the Goddesses hid their Triforce pieces from
Ganondorf. Though Ganondorf would not be able to gain control of the
Triforce, the Goddesses lost most of their power. Link and Zelda were
summoned to find their Triforce piece. To do this, they would have to
become seven years older, which they accomplished with the Destiny Duet.
Link and Farore, in search of the Triforce of Courage, teamed up with Young
Link, Saria, and Navi. However, a new character, Sensei emerged. Is he a
friend or foe? And now that Ganondorf has found an evil Imp what will
happen? I do not own anything in this chapter other than the Pool of
Hatred. Sparky (Sparky16), Asharia (Kherezae), Hope (mocha butterfly aka
hope), Mark (mark0), the wild colt (WyldColt45), Catalina (Catalina
Drakon), Sensei (Sensei), Rakasha (SSJ Rakasha), Chibi (chibi bishu-
hunter), the Queen of Blades (Queen of Blades), Star (RoddickRocks), and
Kaspar (Reanimated Spirit) are all reviewers of this story and belong to
themselves. Everything else belongs to Nintendo. Note that this story was
written before the recent development of The Legend of Zelda for the
Nintendo GameCube.*
"C'mon, drink up Dutchess," said Zelda.
Princess Zelda and Impa's horse Dutchess were at Lake Hylia.
"I must have made a wrong turn somewhere." Zelda thought aloud. "I found my way around fine two years ago.I mean five years later.I mean.oh what's the use! My horse is tired, Link doesn't care about Hyrule, and all of Sensei's training went to waste!"
"Excuse me." said a voice.
Startled, Zelda turned around and saw a young blond-haired girl with a cat behind her.
"What do you want!" Zelda said in a rather harsh tone.
"I'm sorry if I interrupted something...but I'm lost..." said the girl.
"I'm sorry, but I do not have times to help you find your way home. There are much more important matters I need to take care of," said the princess, still rather mean.
Then a sharp pain hit Zelda's back.
"Agh!"
"Now you listen tough guy!" said a deeper voice. Zelda turned around and saw that the small orange cat was talking. "This is Princess Star. She is looking for Princess Ruto; she is a friend of hers."
"Princess Star? If you're a princess, where so you rule?" Zelda asked.
Princess Star then said, "Where I'm from doesn't matter."
"All right," said Zelda. "But if you won't tell me that, how is that cat talking?"
"This," Star said, "is a Kaspar. He is a lost spirit reincarnated into the form of a cat. He is a reanimated spirit of sorts."
Kaspar then exclaimed, "A reanimated spirit indeed! I am the spirit of a great warrior. A mighty champion!"
"I'm sure," Zelda said sarcastically.
Star then said, "Well, now you know who we are. What is your name?"
"My name," Zelda said, "is Sheik."
"Sheik," said yet another voice. "Isn't that a Sheikah name?"
"Do be kind, Moon," said Star.
"Moon?" Zelda asked. Then she saw a Fairy floating around Star.
"Star-" Princess Zelda began to ask.
"That's Princess Star to you!" said Moon and Kaspar at almost the exact same time.
"Yes," said Zelda, "Princess Star. But, how do you have a Fairy?"
"Why not?" Moon asked.
"Well," said Zelda, "I thought only Kokiris had Fairies."
"Correct," said Moon. "The Great Deku Tree at one point did protect me. I was going to guard a very odd boy. Instead, another Fairy was chosen to guard him, but the Great Deku Tree had another plan for me. I was to guard Princess Star, a lost soul waiting to be found. That is what happened."
"I see." said Zelda.
"Now, who is your friend?" asked Star.
"Excuse me?" Sheik asked wondering whom Star was talking about. She turned around and much to her disbelief, she saw a blue-haired maiden lying on the grass.
"Oh, hello," said the girl, obviously Nayru. "My name is Nadine. How do you do?"
"They're searching for Zora's Domain," said Zelda.
Much to Zelda's surprise Nayru replied, "What a coincidence. We're going there too."
Zelda shot a what-are-you-crazy-look at Nayru. Nayru however shot back a trust-me-on-this-one-look, which was followed by an okay-whatever-you-say- look from Zelda.
"Sheik," Nayru said. "I think I know how we can get to Zora's Domain easily. There's a hole in the stone at the bottom of Lake Hylia. Just swim through there. Princess Star, would you like to do the honors?"
"Oh.all right, I suppose," said the princess. Then the small girl jumped into the lake and swam towards the entrance along with Moon.
Obviously, "Nadine" and "Sheik" need to talk to each other alone, but Kaspar remained where he was. "What's the matter big strong warrior? Are you letting your cat form get to you?" Zelda asked, still acting rudely.
"No.no.I'm not afraid of water. Not.at.at.all.nope.not me." said Kaspar, still remaining still.
Desperately wanting to talk to Nayru, Zelda picked up the cat and threw him into the water.
"Now what is the matter with you, Zelda!" Nayru exclaimed.
"I'm.I'm sorry. It's just that I'm under so much stress. I have to save one of the most powerful relics in the universe from an evil prince. Link doesn't even care. And.and.I feel so stupid.so weak." said Zelda.
"Awe, poor thing," said Nayru. "That's nothing to make you feel stupid about. Links always been stubborn; don't let it get to you."
"NO!" Zelda screamed, practically bawling. "When Impa, Sheik, and I ran away from the castle the first time.when I gave Link the ocarina.Sheik died. It was my fault, too. I shouldn't have been on the horse with his mother, HE should have. I was forced to live on fruit and berries for two years while hiding from Ganondorf.
Then, when exploring the woods, I found a large temple. An extraordinary person called Sensei ran it. He knew all sorts of magic and abilities. As it turned out, he was a Sheikah like Impa and Sheik. At first, I went to him and asked for help. He turned me down.said I didn't even have the potential to learn such amazing abilities. Every day I came and asked him to train me, but the answer was always no. Then on the fifteenth day, I brought me in, and told me it would not be easy to learn such amazing skills. I told him I had five years to learn.
"After years of intense training, I ran away from the temple. I hadn't completed my training, so technically I wasn't permitted to leave. Still, I knew some offensive skills and a large amount of non-offensive skills. Not only defense, but also I knew how to disappear and even change the color of my eyes. I helped Link on his quest, telling him my name was Sheik while I wore a pair of Sensei's clothes. I was so strong then.but now.now.it seems I've forgotten everything."
"Zelda," said Nayru, "I'm sorry if you feel that way, but it simply isn't true. You are a strong fighter and I respect your skills. Now, let's go visit Ruto."
"RUTO?! Are you crazy?!" Zelda exclaimed.
"I know it sounds strange.but she's the only one that can help us now besides Star and Kaspar," Nayru said.
"You don't really believe Kaspar is some ancient warrior do you?" Zelda asked.
"As a matter of fact I do, Zelda," Nayru said.
"Do you.think it's him? Is he the one?" Zelda asked. "You know, that's part of our quest too. To find him."
Nayru replied, "I've given it some thought. The Prince of Light as you know is the man who is supposed to wield the Triforce of Power. It says that he is hidden, clouded in some way from all the others. It might be hard to believe, but the person supposed to use the Triforce piece could be Kaspar."
"One last question," said Zelda. "How'd Ganondorf get hold of the Triforce anyway, if he wasn't meant to have it?"
"I don't know for sure why Din gave in so easily to Ganondorf. She refuses to tell us," Nayru explained.
"Anyway," said Zelda, "we better go join Star and Kaspar."
With that, the two jumped into the water and swam toward the lake floor. They swam through a portal and were instantly in the beautiful aquatic land of the Zoras.
"There you are," said Moon.
"Where have you been?" Star asked.
"Probably throwing more cats into the ocean." Kaspar said.
"Sorry," Zelda apologized. "We needed to talk about something."
"Oh, that's all right," said Star. "C'mon, we need to find Princess Ruto."
The group searched around and then finally spotted her by a waterfall.
"Princess Ruto?" Star asked.
"Princess Star, I presume," Ruto said back.
"Yes, I suppose you received my letter," said Star.
"I don't know if I can take you to the Pool of Hatred. Jabu-Jabu's Belly is one thing, but to a place where we banished the Queen of Blades.I don't think so," Ruto said sadly.
"I thought you said you were Ruto's friend!" Zelda exclaimed.
"Hopefully I will be," Star replied. Then back to Ruto she said, "I need Zola's blood; it can help me find my sister."
"The blood of a Zola? Such can do extraordinary things, but I've never heard of it as a way to find people," said Ruto.
"Fine then. I suppose I'll have to find my sister some other way," said Star in disappointment. "What business did you have here Sheik? Nadine?"
"We too planned to enter the Pool of Hatred," Zelda explained.
"Ooh.well maybe for a hottie like you I can work something out." said the Zora princess.
"Excuse me?" Zelda asked, not understanding.
"If you promise to marry me, I'll let you enter the Pool of Hatred," Ruto suggested.
"No.no.I'm no.I mean.I don't think..well.I'm not good enough.yes, I'm not good enough for you!" Zelda exclaimed.
"Ooh, and modest too. I like that in a man," said Ruto.
Zelda was thinking to herself, "Oh, my Goddesses! She thinks I'm a guy! She thinks I'm CUTE!"
"Well? What'll it be? The Pool of Hatred or not?" Ruto asked, as if Zelda didn't have a choice.
No, Zelda thought, "Saving the world or not." Then aloud she said, "Okay, but you must let all of us in the Pool."
"It's done!" Ruto exclaimed. "Follow me sugar bunny."
The group followed, while Nayru and Zelda trailed behind. "That was a very brave thing you did," said Nayru.
"Well," Zelda replied. "I figure once we're seven years younger, I'll show her to Link and she'll forget all about Sheik."
The two giggled but then became serious again.
"So," asked Zelda, "who is the Queen of Blades?"
"The Queen of Blades," Nayru explained, "rules the Zolas. She is perhaps the most evolved Zola and is able to use knives and swords with great skill, thus her name. She could kill just about anyone in a second."
"And you trusted her with.with.the TRIFORCE?!" Zelda exclaimed in disbelief.
"Yeah, like I would trust it with Ruto!" Nayru said back.
"Good point," said Zelda.
Ruto lead them to a place in Zora's Domain that most people have never even seen. It was a very high waterfall, but below it was a shadowy-mystic- vortex-like-thingy.
"What the heck is a shadowy-mystic-vortex-like-thingy doing here?!" Kaspar exclaimed. "I haven't seen one of these in.forever!"
"That is where we imprisoned the Queen of Blades and the other Zolas," Princess Ruto explained.
"Uh, Ruto?" Zelda asked.
"Yes, sugar bunny," said Ruto.
"Will we be able to get out of there?" Zelda asked.
"Hmm.don't know!" Ruto exclaimed as if she really didn't care, which she probably didn't. "Well, let's dive."
Then everyone jumped into the shadowy-mystic-vortex-like-thingy into the shadows where anything can happen.
Author's Note: Okay, this chapter has finally been added! Yay! Anyway, I tried to add some lame attempts of humor in this story, but I don't want it to turn into a comedy. It's still adventure whether you or I like it or not. So, continue to review so you can be in this "Interactive Adventure." By the way, if you know anything about HTML, tell me in the review. I save my files as .html and use b/b and stuff, but it doesn't work. If you know why, please include that in your review.
