Ohayo! Cassidy Dell once again, saying thanks to Infamous Chibi Cat, Hero McAllen, Canihavea – soda, Dukongmeng, DogieChan, Zinka, and Britannica Moore for reviewing chapter 2! ^^ Your words of encouragement helped a bunch! You guys are awesome! Thankies!

Author's Note: the POV may change in future chapters sometimes just to warn you. I'll say who's it is of course!

In the last chapter:

"What exactly am I here for?"

"Well Kalea, you are a very special person. This may be a shock, but you…are the legendary warrior known as the Eternal Valkyrie."

Chapter 3:

"I'm the what?" Kalea looked confused more than shocked.

"Eternal Valkyrie." Legend repeated.

"…" Kalea only stared in bewilderment.

"You have no idea what I'm talking about do you?"

"Not a clue."

"This could take awhile." The spirit sage muttered under her breath.

Legend sighed, "Why don't we talk about this over lunch instead?"

"Leave it to Legend to think of food in any situation." Link laughed.

"Shut up!" Kalea snickered at their conversation.

"Legend and Link, please take her to lunch and explain this…situation to Kalea." Rauru permitted them.

"Right, let's go! I'm starving!"

"What's new?" Legend punched Link in the arm at his comment. The three stood together and were transported out of the chamber and back to the temple.

Link and Legend walked a few feet in front of Kalea, whispering back and forth.

"Wait a minute, Legend. How come you knew all about her but I didn't? You didn't seem to know anything about it in the temple earlier."

"Well, actually…I knew about the whole thing. I was the one to tell the Sages about her."

"What? But, how did you know?"

"I am a servant to the Goddesses, aren't I?"

'Servant to the Goddesses? What does that mean?' Kalea pondered idly to herself.

"But why couldn't you tell me before then?"

"I don't really know…the Sages just told me not to."

"Hmm…"

"Here we are. The best place for lunch in the Castle Town."

"Yeah, Legend knows all the restaurants around here."

"I've had about enough of you!" Legend smacked Link upside his head.

~*~

"So…I'm supposed to be…this legendary…warrior?" Kalea said between bites of her broiled cucco breast and potatoes. (Yummy.)

"Right. The Eternal Valkyrie." Legend told her once again.

"But, if I'm a warrior from Hyrule, why was I in my world in the first place?"

"Well you died in another life before this one. Years ago you were killed in a battle here in Hryule and were reborn on Earth."

"So…it's kind of like I was…reincarnated or something?"

"Sort of…anyway, there's a lot you need to learn. Everything will come back to you in time – your powers, your purposes, everything – Link and I are just here to help push you in the right direction."

"Yeah…what she said." Link muttered, pointing his thumb in Legend's direction.

"Oh. So what is it I have to do, exactly?"

"The same cause for awakening any Hero. We have a new enemy and we need help to defeat it."

"Same old story." Link replied, having gone through the same type of situation.

"To tell you the truth, I don't have a clue as to who this enemy is. All I was told is we'd be needing you."

"Yeah, so don't be surprised if you're suddenly attacked out of no where. Happens all the time." Link stated, casually. Kalea skeptically stared around.

"I have a question." She paused waiting for an affirmative response from either of them. They simultaneously nodded and she continued, "All over my armor and weapons, there's this bird, kind of like a raven. What is it?" She placed her left hand in front of the pair and they examined the bird on her gauntlet.

"Strange…I've never seen a bird like that before. Do you know what it is Link?" the two females stared at the Hero of Time, hoping for an answer.

"Yeah. That's a visgarian (pronounced veez-GAR-ee-an) keese. You don't see any of those anymore. They died out over a hundred years ago."

"How do you know about them?"

"I read about them. They were in a book of Hyrulian history. Incredible creatures, those keese. They could carry immense weight with their talons, and their cry could paralyze almost anyone and anything on the spot. They could also fly great distances and at amazing speed. They could even tolerate intense heat or cold. People called them 'immortal wings' because they seemed to be able to withstand almost anything. It's still a mystery how they died." Silence spread among the trio when Link concluded his explanation.

Kalea broke the silence, "Visgarian keese…I wonder what it means."

"Maybe the Sages will know something." Link affirmed.

"Right. We'll ask them after lunch." To no one's surprise, Legend called the waiter to their table and ordered more food.

Unknowing to our heroes, someone was sitting in a corner of the restaurant, eavesdropping on their entire conversation. The figure smiled and chortled to himself, muttering a single word before departing, "Fools."

~*~

The clanging of their swords echoed through the air.

"Good, good. Just move your feet a bit quicker. Yeah, just like that." Link and Kalea were in one of the castle's courtyards. Link was teaching her how to fence, "Don't leave yourself so open. Right, lower it a bit. Good. Parry, parry. Nice."

"I feel like Inigo Montoya from The Princess Bride."

"Uh…whatever you say." Link was able to discharge the rapier from Kalea's grasp.

"Ugh, only I'm no good at fencing."

"You were doing fine. You just lost concentration." Kalea sighed. "Look, we'll practice this more later. What say we take a break and go for a ride around the field?"

She smiled, "OK, but I don't-" before she could finish her sentence, a figure clad in black landed between the two, holding a scimitar in each hand. Link threw the rapier to the side and reached for his sword, quickly drawing it in time to block an attack from the figure. As they continued to fight, another figure crept up behind Kalea, grabbing her by the waist and using his other hand to cover her mouth. She made an effort to scream but the large hand enveloping half of her face foiled her attempt. She kicked and struggled to get free, but it was in vain. She was about ready to give up, when all of a sudden, she felt the man releasing his grip around her. She quickly turned around to see Legend lowering her fist.

"Are you OK?"

"Yeah I'm fine. But I think Link needs help." Legend looked around the courtyard and saw the Link did in fact need help. The man with the two scimitars was forcing Link, whom had only his sword to fend him off, slowly to the ground. With one strong push, the man caused Link to lose his footing and land on his backside. The figure walked slowly to Link's befallen figure and was ready to launch the final blow, until, that is, Link kicked him away. He quickly regained his footing once again.

"Link! Catch!" Legend retrieved a short sword from its sheath and tossed it to Link. Now, being evenly matched, he and the man clad in black fought on. Within seconds however, Link was able to discharge one of the man's scimitars. Realizing that he could not win, the man retreated.

"We will meet again." And he disappeared.

"Who was that guy?" Link pondered quietly. He looked at Legend, and his eyes went wide, "Legend watch out!" before she could react, a rock was hurtled towards Legend's head, rendering her unconscious. Link ran to her. They had forgotten about the other man.

He chuckled, "Looks like I caught the little lady off guard. Too bad." He strode towards Kalea. He reached out to grab her, and doing the only thing she could think of, she mustered all the strength she had and punched his face. The man grunted and was sent flying into one of the walls of the courtyard. Shocked, Kalea looked at her left hand. 'The gauntlet…' Now sure of what the gauntlet could help her achieve, she marched to the man and picked him up easily by the throat. She knew she could crush him. He choked as she began to tighten her grip.

"We'll…be back." He struggled to get those few words out as he disappeared from site. Kalea was startled by his disappearance, but quickly turned her attention to Legend, who was still out cold on the ground.

She ran next to Link, whom was still aside Legend, "Is she going to be OK?"

"I think so. But one thing's for sure, we have to be on our toes from now on."
