Chapter 2

During the twenty minutes of more walking I thought about a lot. Link wasn't like anyone I had ever met, and though I had never even seen him before, I felt as if I had known him for my whole life, and that I could trust him. Link stopped abruptly and I saw why. We arrived at the enormous moat surrounding the town. The drawbridge was up, which didn't surprise me, but Link cursed under his breath.

"What's wrong? Maybe they don't like visitors." I put in, examining the deep waters with an ominous feeling. The sun was about three quarters of the way across the sky, which I estimated meant that it was about three or four o' clock.

"This leads to Hyrule Castle Town. It's free to anyone, except when the bridge closes when it gets dark. The only time that I can remember it closing early was when the princess was fleeing from Ganondorf. This probably isn't good."

"Huh? Who's Ganondorf? Why would anyone be fleeing from him? Is he a terrorist?" My throat turned dry from fear.

"No, he's not really a terrorist. I'll tell you the whole story later. For now all you need to know is that he's an old enemy who I thought was taken care of. We need to get inside. Zelda might be in danger."

"This is really great. But one question-how are we going to get in there?" I asked, gesturing at the moat and closed door.

"You're not going anywhere. This is my fight. You can stay in Kakariko Village. It probably won't take long."

"No way. I can help. I don't have anything better to do, and this is my only way back home, no offense."

"You really don't want to get involved in this."

"You have no idea what I want."

"All right, fine. But don't say I didn't warn you. Put your hand on my shoulder." I did as Link said, feeling a little silly. He reached into a pouch on his belt and pulled out a beautiful ocarina. I only knew what it was because my mother used to have one just like it. He closed his eyes and played a beautiful but haunting melody. I was wondering how that was supposed to get us inside and why I had to put my hand on Link's shoulder, but both my questions were answered almost immediately. I felt a pulling sensation all around all at once, and felt as if I had no body, and was just a mind floating through space. A moment or eternity passed, I don't know which, and then I felt my feet slam into the ground. I almost fell over, but Link caught me.

"You could have warned me, you know. And what just happened?" I asked, slightly pouting.

"I could have but I thought it would have been more fun to let you find out about the sensation of traveling by ocarina by yourself," Link said with a mischievous grin. "You don't travel like that where you come from?" He added, a curious look replacing the evil one.

"No. Was that. magic?" I asked, now breathless. If it was magic, then that proved it was real after all.

"Of course it was. You don't have magic? That's.unheard of!" Link exclaimed, now with a puzzled expression.

"Well, no. On Earth, magic is unheard of as far as anyone is concerned. Ahhhhhhhh!" I screamed as Tatl dive bombed me.

"Whhhat? You don't have magic? Then how do the fairies survive?" She screamed, hurling her what I assumed to be her body at me as I tried to duck and fend of the ball of light.

"We don't have fairies, or anything like that-no dragons or unicorns or Deku whatevers or anything!" I shrieked. Link and Tatl were shocked into silence.

"What? How do you live without magic?" Link asked hesitantly. I wasn't sure, but by the way she moved her body, Tatl nodded.

"It's a completely different world. We live a lot differently."

"That might explain why you don't have any of the things we have here in Hyrule. I've only heard of places like that, but I never believed them."

"It's exactly the same on Earth, except we've only heard of places with magic."

"Well, we should probably see what's going on with Zelda." Link said swiftly, and I looked around at where we were. It was an ancient looking cathedral, with nothing except a symbol on the floor that looked like a triangle made up of three smaller ones, and an enormous platform with three gems on top of it along with an inscription that I couldn't decipher. The ceiling was impossibly high, and a single window was all that provided the light.

"Where are we?" I asked, breathless with awe.

"The Temple of Time. It's the ent-" Link stopped in midsentence and turned toward the two high wooden doors that provided a portal into the temple. I wondered what Link was about to say, but decided it was probably forbidden information and followed him out. As we passed through the doors, I saw Link suddenly stiffen. He whirled around, and I followed his example. I almost fell down with shock at what I saw. A long eerie howl drowned out any exclamation of surprise I might have said, and a gigantic wolf like creature leaped onto me. I screamed as I went down, and tried to push up with all my might. I must have been fueled by fear, because the creature fell off of me. I tried to scramble up, but it clamped it's long jaws onto my leg. I tried to scream again, but the words died somewhere along the way between my dry throat and mouth. All I managed was a terrified gurgle. Link then came in, swinging his sword right at the creature's head. However, one of it's gigantic paws struck out and hit Link's leg, causing him to fall. Fortunately one his way down, the flat of the blade of Link's sword struck it's head, causing it's grip to loosen. I took the opportunity to wrench my leg free and crawl a short distance away. Link sprang up again and dispatched the creature with a swift slash from his sword. The creature gave an agonized howl, but was dead almost as it did.

"Things are definitely worse than I thought," Link murmured, staring down at the disappearing carcass of the beast.

So, how was that, same, better, worse? Please r+r, and chapter 3 is on the way but I have to write it first! Ciao! (Norb, thanks for the advice, it helped a lot!)
