Debbie- Oh Let me out now!
Mage Alia - Not until the end of the chapter.
Debbie- I will kick you for this.
Mage Alia - If you say thing's like that I'll leave you in for the next
chapter as well. But I might just have to let you out for the sake of
it. Alex is driving me nuts.
(switches to a picture of Alex dancing around saying 'I'm out of the
cage, I'm out of the cage.')
Debbie- I know I'll kick him instead.
Mage Alia - Good Idea, in fact I'll let you out now and let Harley into
the room.
Debbie- O_o Oh Goody.
Legend of Zelda : Next Generation.
Chapter 14 : Birthright claims.
As soon as I came out of the premonition I knew the others had seen it too. They where all recovering from the shock as the final pieces fell into place in my mind. The premonition, Impa's recognition and my own prophecy all came together to spell out one thing that was as plain as the nose on my face, we where the heir's, we where the next in line to be the sages.
I think that my reaction was unexpected to all of them, as I started acting like my old human self. My unforgettable insane cackle echoed through Zora's domain scaring most of the zora within earshot. I heard king zora asking Link if I was sane, when he replied that he didn't know Debbie butted in and told him that for me, this was perfectly normal.
When I calmed down the other's just had to ask what I found so funny. I realized that I hadn't told them yet about everything that happened when Link and I went to warn the races of Baldor. By the time I finished explaining they'd come to the same conclusion by themselves. But while we where still figuring it out a thought had crossed my mind and it wasn't exactly friendly for one of the zora. Ruto had slipped off again, my intentions must have been obvious. Now that there was a new sage of water there was nothing protecting her...
"Where have you been?" the others asked me that night when I came back to the room I was sharing with the other girls. I just smiled evilly and said, "Let's just say that someone isn't going to bother Link or me for a while." The next day Ruto was missing. When the king zora went to find her he came back trying to keep himself from laughing. "I say, she disserved that, I have to admit even she was getting too big for her britches as you would say." It left the others wondering what exactly it was that I had done.
But by midday my good mood was waning, Baldor I felt would soon leave the forest so it was decided that those who knew the way would become messengers again. Debbie was going to the desert, Daniel to kakariko village and Alex would finally have his wish to go to Death Mountain. I could have punched him, but we needed the messengers intact.
*************************
"Are you sure that the spell is off the field?" Link was still concerned about it. "Yes I'm sure." I replied for like the hundredth time. He wasn't convinced and insisted using the warp pads. I had to give in after a while, he just wouldn't let up. I was tempted to try and read his mind with a spell but then I remembered what I'd said to myself two nights ago, no I didn't want to know what he was thinking.
Just before we left Leila just had to ask me... "What did you do to Ruto?" I grinned evilly. "Pimples are no one's favorite fungus." She just stared at me, if she didn't know it before she knew it now. I really was mad.
*************************
The song echoed around the chamber again. Rauru, standing by the altar looked up expecting to see one of the other sages, or maybe even the hero of time. What he didn't expect was to see four strange people and Link milling around on the warp pad. He gave a little cry and almost fell over before he stomped up to the young hero.
"Link what is the meaning of this. Why are these people here and why did you use that in front of them?" Rauru demanded to know. Link just stared at the angry old man thinking *He looks even scarier when your this close to him.* But Mathew took the opportunity to say his thoughts aloud.
"Whoa is that guy ugly or what!" Rauru bristled and turned on the ignorant boy. "What did you say!?" He roared in Mathews face before I finally remembered that Link was supposed to be explaining himself. I ended up doing it for him. "Rauru." I thundered with equal ferocity.
He stood strait and shook as he turned round "Yes your highness Zelda." He got a full look at me and instantly started shouting again. "Imposter." He squealed, "Guards there's an impersonator of the Queen." Guards came running from all directions to surround our group. But luckily one of them had been guarding the throne room the day of my second visit. He fell to one knee and franticly whispered for the others to do the same.
Rauru was getting mad, "Get her you fool's." He said loudly but stopped as one of the guards spoke up. "Um, Sage Rauru sir, Um, That's the princess Avelia you're talking to." The name brought back the memory and Rauru let off with a colorful line of words at the solider. "Why didn't you $*#@* tell me, you %*@&$ ^*#(@*&..." It went on for some time before he remembered me again. He started bowing and apologizing. I just gave him a dirty look and we walked off toward the castle.
************************
It was dark outside. "Damn it's the middle of the bloody night. No one will let us in now." Said link. He was not too happy about being held up for something like three hours. "Calm down," I said not happy with the situation myself. "We will just have to sneak in like you do." Link's face wore a confused look then it brightened as he got what I was talking about.
It took an hour to get past the first set of guards. Harley was afraid of the deep water in the moat. So I just kicked him in. Leila had long since gotten over the fact that she had no hair to get wet. Mathew was worried about what lived in there, judging by the color of the water. He ended up floundering round with a boot print on his butt. I really rubbed off on people.
When we got to the courtyard Impa had already sensed us but hadn't bothered to help us. She'd wanted to see for ages how exactly Link got in past the guards so many times. She let us in to the actual castle and took us to see Zelda but left us out-side the door. (I found out later that she didn't want to be blamed for leading us there.)
Balling my fist I pounded on the door and yelled, "Zelda, this is no time for sleeping. Get your royal but out here now!" through the thick wood. It took another fifteen minutes for her to answer. When the door opened Zelda stuck her face out and asked "What are you doing here. It's the middle of the night for crying out loud." "Zelda he's back, Baldor crossed the border into Hyrule yesterday, the forest is holding him prisoner but..."
I faltered at the look of terror on her face, She was scared out of her wits as she strode down the hall and opened a set of locked doors. In the center of the room there was a glow coming from a low table. Impa stepped out of the shadows to greet her but Zelda pushed her aside and stormed up to the table. Grabbing a clear ball she stared intently into it. It clouded and a picture formed in its depths. It showed Baldor smashing against a rock wall in the forest. The place about him was dark with the fall on night but dark light floated around him as he smashed it again and again.
The fear in Zelda's face increased as the wall cracked... "Ok I forgive you for waking me up," she said in a panic, "We have to do something now." She was already in a panic."Zelda." I said to get her attention. "Zelda don't panic, I've already sent some of the others away to get the original sages. Don't worry I've got it under control." Her expression was still anxious as she calmed down but she went into a panic again as the doors crashed open and Darunia walked in with a smile on his face and flanked by another Goron.
The other was strange. He was much smaller than most of the other Gorons I'd seen. black shards of rock stuck out of his head like pointy hair and it, unlike the others was wearing a pair of red shorts held up by a huge belt. But the look on its face reminded me of someone...
"Hi everyone, miss me?"
*************************** So who could this Goron be? Give you one guess who. Watch out for the next chapter... Chapter 15: Secrets and blades.
