Good morning to everyone! It's too early for me to be up typing, but I was beginning to feel bad for not updating in forever. I hope y'all can forgive me! Okay, this chapter will probably be a bit sucky. I hit a writer's block, and I couldn't put anything down on paper. Ayla wrote chapter five for me, but she wrote something that shouldn't happen this soon in the story (nothing perverted!). So, I'm going to try and make this work. Wait; before I begin I'd like to thank all of the wonderful people who have reviewed! (KatChanQ, aer-seph4eva, ChatRnCraZiCurlS, Cassidy Dell, and LilFilipinoGurl) Y'all are the coolest! ^_^
Disclaimer: *looks up from notebook* Do I really need to waste time AND space on this thing? You know the drill.
Chapter 5 (Jessica's View)
After sneaking back out of the castle courtyard, we rode Epona through the market and back to the drawbridge where Link had to play the Sun Song so it would be daylight again. My brow furrowed in confusion when I realized that Link was ignoring what Princess Zelda had said about going to the Temple of Time. "Link," I said, tapping him gently on the shoulder.
"We're not going to the temple just yet," he said quietly, reading my mind.
"Oh." Then where were we going? Shouldn't I be going back home? I can't help him defeat Ganon's brother. What made think him I could handle that kind of pressure? God, I could hardly even put up with the pressure of studying for finals. I sighed and shook my head.
Epona trotted over the bridge, leading us out into the vastness of Hyrule field. Link pulled her to an abrupt halt and jumped off, not bothering to help me. He walked to the right side of the moat and looked down into the clear blue water.
"Thanks," I muttered sarcastically, climbing off by myself. I lead Epona to the opposite side so she could get a drink without disturbing Link. I have so many questions. How did I get here? Why am I here? There was no way this was really happening. It was impossible. Link's defeated Ganon. If Link's defeated Ganon, then he should be able to handle Ganon's brother with no problem. Wait….
Link has defeated Ganon? I stopped and thought about it. If he's defeated Ganon, then shouldn't he be young again? At the end of the game, after he defeated Ganon, he handed the ocarina back to Zelda, and he put the master sword back in its pedestal, going back to when he was young. But he still has the master sword. He's still adult Link. Something is wrong.
"Link," I cried, running over to where he was now sitting at the edge of the moat.
He looked up. "Yeah?"
"You've defeated Ganon, right?"
He nodded and stood up. "Yeah, so?"
"And you still have the ocarina the princess gave you? You didn't give it back to her after the battle?"
He looked at me as if I were the craziest person he had ever met. "No. She told me I could keep it, that it might help me later on."
I gasped. Zelda knew he was going to have fight again. That's the only reasonable explanation I could think of. She was aware of the fact that Link would have to fight and protect Hyrule again. Why did she just know tell him though? "She didn't tell you what you would use it for?"
"She just told me I might need it. Why are you asking about it?"
I could tell him that this was all too screwed up to explain, but he wouldn't believe me. "Oh, I was just curious."
"How did you know Zelda gave me the ocarina anyway?" he asked, going over to Epona.
I followed him and tried to think of something. "Um, Navi told me."
"Oh." He mounted Epona and looked at me as if he were waiting. "We're going to get some rest at Kakariko Village and stock up on supplies. You need battle gear."
Oh joy, I thought to myself, climbing up behind him.
I know we are slowly progressing, and I'm sorry this isn't going as quickly as I had planned, but now that school is out, I will have more time on my hands, and I can write more often. Please check back soon for updates! ~jess~
