Legend of Zelda : Next generation.
Chapter 7 : Disturbing facts.
"You will come to me."
The hiss was heavy with evil as its owner chanted the incantation.
Power is as owner does, Binding force that power resides. Bring the one of wisdom to me, Let her spirit know the call.
Bring to me, come to me, The power bind her will, she will be mine.
The magic heeded the call and its dark glitter filled the chamber as the summoning was completed. The evil one basked in its radiated darkness as he let his arms fall to his sides. The wise one would be his. He could feel the spells success. The trap had been set, for the moment she set foot in any part of Hyrule field she would be caught in the summoning.
But still the forces of the sages held his body and soul at bay. He could not look to see if he would have to wait or if she was even there. He'd just have sit in his rising anxiety until she came. If she ever did. But then even that immortal hero wouldn't be able to save her.
**************************
I stiffened in my seat as the dark power flooded into being. It was far from my current position in the very centre of the Gerudo fortress, but I'd now come to know the feeling of a spell aimed at me.
"What's wrong?" Debbie, sitting beside me, had sensed the flicker of my alarm. Alex looked over a worried expression on his face. Link's head had flicked up like a deer's. They'd all felt some thing different.
The evil feeling subsided but I was uneasy. "A spell," I blurted aloud, "It was a spell aimed at me." Link confirmed my suspicions. "Yes it was a summoning spell. Powerful too." Alex and Debbie gave us a frightened look. "So do you know how this spell will work?" asked Alex. I shook my head "No, all I can sense is that it's aimed at me."
I could have told them more about the spell but they didn't know that I'd been receiving lessons in magic from one of the older Gerudo. I'd also been having vivid dreams about the man who had summoned us to Hyrule. Swathed in evil I'd seen him in every detail from the cruelty in his eye's to the minute etching of runes on the plates black armour that he wore on his elbows and knees.
The memories left me as I heard my friends discussing the spell. "...But what would happen if he got a hold of her?" Debbie was asking Link. The look on his face as he looked at me told me more than any word could. Unfortunately both my friends saw the look to and the god of trouble stirred his magic.
A flicker at the corner of Debbie's mouth. I saw it, Link did to, and both at the same time we shot of in her direction. Behind us we heard the echoing cackle of Alex as he laughed himself sick.
Debbie dodged, trying to avoid us. Link and I had her cornered. "I wont even give you the chance to let off that wise crack." I said as she stopped and looked around.
"Whoa, if I didn't know any better I'd say that the same principal went for both of you." Her grin was so irritating as she looked over my shoulder and saw something that obviously was going to work to her advantage. Link, who was standing in the opposite corner, stopped abruptly, his eye's widening as he saw clearly Debbie's intent.
I faded quickly from sight and spun around to see at least twenty Gerudo standing in the doorway behind me. "Oh Shit. No you don't." I roared and speeded toward her as fast as I could. Debbie took a deep breath and started to shout "Link and St..." But she was cut off.
Totally helpless she looked up at me as best she could with her head beneath my arm and a hand over her mouth. "I said I wouldn't let you say it didn't i." I said simply.
*****
Alex was still laughing. I let go of Debbie and shoved him with my foot until he let up. "God you guys are a pain in the ass." I exclaimed with exasperation. "If only you guys would let up on that subject. I can't always be there to kick your can so why do you insist on doing that?"
My words found no hold in the pathetic pair that had been dragged through the portal with me. "Oh don't be so hard on us Steph." Alex tried to appeal to me, "We we're just having some fun. We didn't mean any harm."
"Well you discided to taunt me over a touchy subject." I retorted. "Well you do have to admit that you look much better now than what you looked like in year nine." I shook my head sadly. Obviously I was wasting my time. I stormed out of the room, no one dared follow.

(A/N) Even I have to admit I wouldn't mind reading about some Action right now. (Shrugs) Oh well I might as well just keep writing.
******************************
During the night I was awoken by a tiny sound from out in the hall. The door swung inwards on well oiled hinges. There was no light out side. I rolled over pretending to sleep. Who ever it was crossed the room quickly and I felt a weight on the edge of the bed as they sat down.
I knew then who it was. There was only one person in the fortress who was that big. "What do you want Link?" I asked. I felt the shocked jump. He'd obviously thought that I'd really been asleep. "I just wanted to know. Do you really know about the summoning spell?"
I rolled back over to face him. "Yes, if I go into Hyrule field at all I will be taken to where ever Baldor is." Link nodded, "If you are taken then we won't reach you in time. As I said Baldor has been banished from this land and was being held out by the triforce of wisdom's power. He will be very far away."
I soaked in this information then looked back at him. "Then I'll just have to avoid the field wont I. I still remember all the songs to take me to the warp pads." Link took a sharp breath. "You know the songs? Only Zelda and I know them all." He looked a little flustered. "Just how much do you know about my journeys through Hyrule and Termina?"
"Well let's see. In Hyrule I know about the spiritual stones, how you got them, the triforce, how Ganondorf got to the sacred realm and how you got put to sleep. I know all about the songs and your weapons the monsters you faced, how you defeated them, who the sages are, the proper way through the temples..."
I sat there for the best part of half an hour telling him what I knew. Link was staring at me in disbelief at what I was saying. To demonstrate that I knew what I was talking about I even whistled one of the songs.
"You really are good." he half whispered, "Do the others know the songs to?" I thought for a moment before I answered. "It's been a long time since I last tested them so I have no idea how much they remember." Link excepted this with a nod "Maybe we can put your knowledge to good use."
He looked at me again and jumped off the edge of my bed, stunned. "W...What's happening." I'd sat bolt upright my eyes had clouded and I was starting to speak in a voice that wasn't my own.
Time for peace has fled, the evil fly's again. Old enemies arise from beyond the horizon. Be warned for the coming of that enemy is imminent. The dark prince will return once more.
With the final word I flopped forward unconscious against link as he lunged forward to stop me from falling to the floor.
************************************
"Shhhh, you'll wake her." "How long has she been out?" "Almost two days." "Why where you in her room to start with?" "I had to ask her some thing."
I woke to the sound of my friends whispering above my head. Alex and Debbie where cross examining Link about how I'd lost consciousness. "And what did you have to ask her, hmmm." Some one on my left scuffled a boot as he said, "Don't you start with that." "Oh well I'll just have to ask Stephanie when she wakes up." Debbie sounded smug.
"She won't tell you either." I said in a loud voice, sick of whisperings. I opened my eye's to see their surprised faces hovering above me. I sat up, "Are you okay? We were talking one second then you just blanked out." The worry in Link's voice was evident despite what he did to cover it up.
Debbie doubled up in silent laughter, Alex grinned and slapped him on the back. "Well now your one of us, We've all got roped in like that at some point." This obviously confused Link, "He means that he and Debbie have been in similar situations around me before." I explained for Link's benefit.
Realisation dawned on his face. "Oh so you mean that this isn't the first time you've passed out like that." he grinned at himself then just stood there listening. I willed for Alex and Debbie to leave. They looked at me then went. As soon as they where out the door Link launched into a recount of how I'd passed out.
"You sat up and started to say these strange words then keeled over." "What did I say?" I demanded to know. He repeated them for me and I almost fainted again. "He's on his way then. He didn't trust the spell. Baldor will come again and he won't be alone."
************************************************ With the evil prince on his way how long will our hidden hero's have until war breaks out, and what will they do then. Look out for the next chapter.
