YAY! Another Zelda perspective! Funfunfunfunfun!
Chapter 6: Meetings and Partings
Zelda was dreaming. She drempt of a young man, handsome, decked out in Kokori green. BUt that made no sense, the Kokori could not leave the forest. HE had a fairy, like them. He had a sword, and a Hylian Sheild, which made him look like a bug when he crouched under it because it was near as big as him. He came to her, holding out a green shining stone. She saw him defeat a great evil, the green-skinned man, who looked a lot like her Father's new advisor. Ganon, he was called. She saw that she had some part in it, and she should help him all she could.
The next day, she was training in the courtyard as usual. Then she noticed a slinking figure at the edge of the courtyard. She saw him out of her peripheral vision. She assumed he was some servent come to fetch her, so she made busy spying on Ganon. Her father knew she liked to spy on people, and Ganon was handy.
Sure enough, a young boy entered the courtyard about 10 minutes later. She turned. He was wearing a Kokori tunic, with a short sword and a dwarfing Hylian sheild. And he had a fairy.
"Oh! DO you have it? Do you have the Kokori Emrald?"
He slowly, and cautiosly, pulled it out of his pouch. He was wary of a trap but compleatly unprepared to deal with any such ambush. Duh. He was obviously very badly trained. Men tended to take better trained females as some sort of freak. So she decided to pretend to be foolish.
"Yes! That's it! You're the guy from my dream! Great!"
And they talked, and she found out his name was Link. And she could tell there was more to his story than it seemed, for she could see the loss in his eyes. But she said nothing, just gave him a look at Ganon and a letter to get him to Death Mountian, and sent him on his way. Of course, Impa stopped him. She taught him an ancient Shekiah song, the Lullibye of the Light. Not that she told him it was such. She said it was the melody of the Royal Family, and that it had been Zelda's lullibye. How cute. Of course, Impa did play it to get Zelda to sleep when she was young, as well as to steer her to the light.
He left then, and she began to watch Ganon. Link's apperence, of course, had signaled the beginnings of the end of whatever the great peril was. She belived Ganon was at the root of it. He scared her. A shekiah listened to their inner feelings, for they may signal danger, but does not reveal them or act out of them. So nobody knew she suspected Ganon of anything.
-------------------------------------------------------------
So she and Impa were ready to flee when Ganon finally did make his move. Zelda tried to warn the king, but he laughed at her because she had not had a specific dream that said he would die. She realized her mistake in not fabricating a dream far too late. So instead she kept her white horse, moonshine, bridled and ready to ride at a moment's notice. Moonshine was a good horse. Kind. Willing.
Ganon was a tricky sort. He ralliyed support to humself, and gathered a ring of power over various species. HE did all this under the name Ganondorf. She assumed that was his real name. He seemed to know mostly Gerudus, but he was gaining in power. From what tidbits her messangers could gather, she deduced he was a Gerudu male. Not that she would have thought that possible. But there was a legand that every 100 years a male is born. Who knows? He could be a true Gerudu. Or he may be no more gerudu than she was a princess.
But he was certainly up to no good, whatever his orgins. She made sure the gerudu were still loyal to the Royal Family. She didn't come right out and ask, of course, but planted a few servents to stir things up, see where loyalties lay. She took the temperature of the kingdom constantly, and behind her father's back. So she knew that the Gorons were feasting again, and that they had finally given up the Goron Ruby. So Link had been successful. Good.
And she heard that the Zora Princess was missing, but some dude had found a note in a bottle in Lake Hylia and had gone to rescue her. But Ganon was gathering powerful allies, and would make his move soon. She took the Ocarina of Time and looped a string through it and hung it on her neck, just in case. She made the chain specially so she could release it with a single, well-placed touch. It was risky that way, but she studied ways to break a hold on her neck, and ways to prevent it. No-one was coming anywhere near the clasp on her neclace.
And also she took up magic in ernest. She began to have as many magic lessons as fighting. She learned how to heal, mostly, but that was alright. Once she learned the basics, she began to look up interesting things related to the mind. She knew that the phychic dreams meant she had a strong mind. So she learned how to use her mental powers to leave a psychic message in the event that she had to flee fast and early.
She knew as soon as the princess was returned to the water palace, and that Link had a horse. The Zora Domain was one day's ride. But it was 2 hour's flying for a message, and Ganon had allies among the Zoras. Not many, but a few. Enough. Zelda's friends delayed the message a few hours and told Link to ride fast, so it took about 6 hours for him to learn, but when he did, his wrath was swift and great. The plan was put into action. A friend of his shot a poisoned arrow at the King. But Impa tackled him, and the arrow missed. Then, Ganon himself came and thrust a sword through the king's belly. Impa grabbed Zelda and ran. Zelda twisted out of her grip. "No! Too fast! He needs more time!"
Ganon was after them. They led him on a long chase through the palace. They were constantly aware of his traps, and reset them to catch him. He could only be stopped for so long. Finally they were caught in a room on the first floor with a window. "We can't give him any more time, Zelda. We have to go."
"Alright."
And they backfulpped out the window, Zelda healing the cuts from the stained glass. They landed, as planned, on the stable roof. From there they slipped in the window at the one end and landed on Moonshine, as they had planned. But Ganon was waiting at the door.
"Hello, ladies"
Impa urged Moonshine on, but she pulled up short in front of Ganon. She turned and kicked him out of the way, and galloped onwards twards the palace gate. Zelda turned back to find Ganon on a night-black horse chasing them. Midnight. Moonshine and Midnight.
As they reached the gates to the palace, they saw that Link had left a bit earlier than expected. He did not, indeed, have a horse. He was on foot, and approaching the bridge. Zelda undid the clasp on the Ocarina and quickly enscribed the message she had been queing up in her brain while they ran through the palace. She threw the Ocarna. Her aim was a bit off, it landed in the moat. Ganon had been left a bit behind because he had had to saddle and bridle his horse. But the gerudus trained in taking up, full tack in 3 minutes. And the saddles they used were light, but ornate. He further paused to interrigate Link on the way out. Zelda thought only of the few precious minutes this would buy them and urged Moonshine onwards. She ran straight and jumped the wall into Lon Lon Ranch.
Ok, in retrospect, this chapter was mostly plot progression and explaining what happened in the game and how it relates to my imagined timeline. If this is getting a bit boring, please bear with me, for after this, as you know, comes the 7-year sleep, and Zelda and Impa did not sleep for 7 years, but were active and well. So now i get to explain what happened then. Also, I have an idea for the ending. If you read any of my other stuff, the ending to this will not dissapoint. If not, expect the unexpected, explain the Dao, devide by 0, prove a postulate, and draw negitive space. That's my new explination of my endings. REVIEW!!!!!
BTW: the Dao is said to be unexplainable, a postulate is that which is impossible to prove so we just assume we know what it means, deviding by 0 can cause even the most stable computer to crash, and negitive space is kind of the part of a drawing you do not draw.
