Chapter 3
"What isn't good?" I asked at last with a feeling of foreboding. Link shook himself out of his reverie and looked up.
"We have to go to the castle. Now." He stated in a low voice. Then he looked at me, and saw my leg. I followed his gaze but looked away quickly while trying to swallow. Where the beast had bitten me blood was seeping out and I could see a bit of white that could only be bone. The wound was at least 4 inches long and about a half inch wide.
"Well, it doesn't hurt yet." I managed to say without bursting into tears, but my voice was small and shaken. Link thought for a moment, then reached into a pocket on the inside of his tunic and pulled out a small bottle. On closer inspection I realized a pink light similar to Tatl's was fluttering about inside. Link released the cork and it flew out toward my leg. It circled the wounded area a few times, then disappeared. As it did, I saw the bleeding stop, the muscles restored, and the skin close without even a scar, leaving it good as new. I could only stare at it in disbelief. I stood up slowly, testing to see if the inside worked as well as the outside looked. Aside from a faint feeling of needles, it was fine. I looked back at Link, but he had already turned and was walking down a marble set of stairs that led to a small patch of grass. The rest of the scene was blocked out by a pair of huge pine trees that stood like a pair of ancient sentinels. I hastily followed him down, then we walked through a tunnel created by the tree's branches. When we broke through at last, the scene before me was like walking into a nightmare. What I could tell used to be a beautiful town now looked like a shell of despair and destruction. A fountain that used to spring forth water now was broken and filled with bits of charred wood and ash. Entire buildings were destroyed by some menace. I looked at Link to see what his reaction was, and was surprised to see what his reaction was, and his face mirrored the horror I felt.
"What happened?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. Link shook his head, his eyes never once leaving the horrible scene in front of us.
"I'm not sure but I have a pretty good guess. I think Ganondorf escaped the Sacred Realm."
"Isn't he the one that-"
"Yes. I think it's time you heard the whole story. You'll find out sooner or later, and for now I think it's best you were prepared." He turned to face me.
"A few years ago, I thought I was one of the Kokiri children. They're a race of elves whose bodies never age past the age of ten. I was raised as one of them, but was different. All Kokiris have a fairy as a guardian, but I didn't..not until I was summoned by the Great Deku Tree, the guardian of the forest. He sent me on a quest to find 3 stones to help the princess of Hyrule-Zelda-to protect the sacred realm, where the three goddesses departed after creating this world. The entrance is in the Temple of Time, where we just were. When we did, she gave me the Ocarina of Time while fleeing from Ganondorf to open the gate with the 3 stones."
"What's so important about the Sacred Realm?" I asked.
"The Triforce. It alone has the power to grant the wish of anyone who touches it. There was a legend-if one with a true heart made the wish, then it would lead Hyrule to a time of prosperity. If a heart of cruelty made the wish, it would destroy Hyrule and make it a place of evil. I, being young and foolish, opened it-and found the Master Sword. When I tried to pull it out of the pedestal, I found myself in the Sacred Realm, waking up from a 7 year sleep. My body had grown up as well. Rauru, the Sage of Light, told me that 7 years had passed, and Ganondorf had stolen the Triforce of Power, leaving the other two pieces scattered. He had taken over Hyrule, and turned it into a land of monsters and evil." Link closed his eyes and paused, and I could tell this was a painful memory. I was about to ask if he was ok, but he opened them and resumed his story.
"Rauru sent me to the temples located all over Hyrule to free the sages within and wake them to hold Ganondorf. I did so, and then fought and defeated him. However, as long as he had the Triforce of Power, he could not be killed completely, and the Sages did the next best thing-they trapped him in the Sacred Realm, where they thought no one would get him. Zelda, who happened to be the legendary 7th sage, took me back to my age of 10, so I could actually grow up the real way. We all thought Ganondorf would stay caught, but apparently he got out somehow. And it's up to us to stop him."
"What are you talking about, us? I can't fight! Not if that's what you mean by stopping Ganondorf," I cried.
"What else can you do? Besides, you can learn, and you fought pretty well in Hyrule Field." Link pointed out.
"Well-but-I guess you're right. I guess it's sort of like paying my way home. Why did I come here, anyway?" I frowned as I asked this question, wondering why I was here in the first place.
"I don't know. Another reason to find Zelda soon."
"How are you sure she's gone? She might just be hiding from Ganondorf," I pointed out.
"I don't think so. You see, Zelda and I aren't just have the same destiny, she's my sister, and you can sort of know these things with your family." I didn't say anything to this, but I knew he was right. When my parents had died, it was almost as if I knew. I had woken up from a nightmare about..
"Wait a minute. I think I have to help anyway."
"What? Why?"
"The night-a few weeks ago-when my parents...you know. I had a dream. I was in the car with my parents, except they didn't know I was there, and I think I was invisible. Then another car came.no, it wasn't a car, it was a gigantic black horse with red eyes, and there was a.figure on top of it. It hit the car, and my parents went off the road, and.it went dark. Then I was.somewhere.I think here, except everything around me was burning, and a man-a horrible man-was attacking me with.with.I think lightening. And someone was with me, I'm not sure who, they were standing next to me, and then they were hit, and I had to fight the man on my own. I had a sword, and I could use it for some reason. Then, as another bolt came at me, everything went black, and I heard a voice-no, voices-and they were saying something.something about...traveling.to somewhere that needed my help.I was destined to.come...and help..Hyrule." I was hesitant at first, but the need to tell someone about that hideous dream made it come gushing forth. By the time I had finished describing it, I was breathless. Link looked at me strangely.
"I think Zelda knew this was going to happen. She probably brought you here. I don't know for sure. But I think you're right, you were destined to come here. I can't translate all of you're dream, but I know that we have to see if Ganondorf has taken over the castle yet. Let's go."
