The Legend Of Zelda: The Battle Of The Ages

Chapter 11: Dreams, Life, and Pure Fantasy.

Author's-Note-Thingy: Hello. I think that the last chapter was a really good one. How Zelda found herself getting married-and-all. Here is the story.

"They haven't come out of the portal yet. I was so sure they found where I was hiding. I wonder what's happened to them. Well what ever happened, it came just in time. Looks like Nayru had too much faith in them. Heh. Heh. what a world." --G.A.

Saria, the Kokiri, also, the Sage of the Forest, had entered the portal after Nabooru. She walked into the portal and found herself entering her house. Her house. Saria's home was the place of calming, relaxation, and most of all, healing. She loved her cozy little home, with the pink and white circular carpet in the middle of her only room. It was perfect for a Kokiri like herself.

"Home?" She asked herself. "I could of sworn I-" She started, but stopped because she saw someone sleeping in her bed. "Who are you?" No response. "Answer me!" She yelled, hearing some other Kokiri outside.

"Huh?." Mumbled the person in her bed. "What?. Saria it's me." Said the person. It was a boy.

"You, who?" She said reaching for her amulet, which had fallen off her neck. She still wore it as a necklace.

"Saria, it's me Link." It was link. He uncovered himself and gently got out of her bed. "I was just taking a-"He said, but Saria hugged him, thus, cutting him off. "I'm happy to see you too, Saria."

"Link, your seven again!!" She said with a smile. Something she hadn't done for some time.

"What do you mean, 'again'." He pushed back, wiping of some lint he had on his green tunic. "I've been waiting for you."

"Waiting for me?" She said picking up her amulet. "What for?"

"You told me to see you after I talked to the great Deku Tree, remember?" Link said.

She thought back, back to when Link just stayed in his house, never to "hang-out" with anyone. But after the Great Deku tree told his fairy, Navi, to go to Link and for her to bring him back to him. Navi found Link and when Link heard the news, he left his house, only to see the Saria wanted to talk to him after he talked to the Great Deku Tree. "Oh, yeah." She said wondering if she had been waiting for him all this time.

"Well, what is it you wanted to talk about?" Link asked in a demanding sort- of way.

No, this can't be. Saria thought to herself. If I was dreaming this whole time, then how do I have this amulet? She thought. But when she then she felt drowsy.

"Saria? Are you sleepy?" Link said handing her a pillow.

"No!" She stated. "Your not real! I need to get out!!"

"It's okay, don't worry, it'll all be over soon." Link looked at her strangely, then repeated the words:"Sleep, Well."

"Noo." She drifted off to sleep.

Darunia, The Sage of Fire, walked into the portal after Saria. He didn't know what was going to happen to him, but he knew it wasn't going to be something good. When he walked in, he saw himself. He saw himself standing in front of him.

"Coward." Said the fake Darunia.

"No." Darunia said looking around, and seeing that he was floating atop of the Death Mountain Crater.

"Yes, you are." Said the fake, walking closer to him. "You always have been." And the fake disappeared. He disappeared into the never-ending sky.

"I-I" Darunia frowned, thinking of how he had Link, at the age of seven, defeat the great "Boss Dondgo." "I wasn't. He needed the stone."

"Great brother!!" Called a young Goron. It was Link, his son. He would always call him "Great brother" because he didn't like to call him "dad", he always thought it sounded childish.

"Yes, Link." Darunia said, looking around, noticing he wasn't floating anymore, but standing next to his son in his room. The room, nice and warm, it was a cozy little Goron room. "What happened?"

"Nothing, I just missed you." He looked up at his tall father.

"Miss me?" Darunia asked with more than a question tone. "Your not even supposed to be here. At least not yet, anyway."

"Brother!! Everyone has been taken away, by Ganondorf!! He's gonna feed them to the dragon!!" Link, the small goron, said. He looked towards the Fire Temple. "He took them in there!!"

Darunia looked at the entrance of the temple, seeing nothing but the same, red, brick walls that led to the room with two doors. He was confused, he knew that what was going on was supposed to happen in the future, but to him was past, and he knew that Link, the small goron (if you get confused by which link is which don't worry) wasn't even supposed to be there too.

"Look, Link, what year is it?" Darunia sat crossed-legged on the bridge leading towards the entrance of the fire temple. "What are you doing here?"

Link looked at him, then his eyes grew, he had no pupils, his eyes were just black. He raised his arms; then disappeared. Darunia didn't know what was going on, so he headed towards the Temple of time, but when he got there, it wasn't there. All that was there was a pedestal.

Link, the Hylian, not the Goron, walked into the portal after Darunia had. He walked into it with no fear, or "second-thoughts" he was completely full of courage, and bravery. After he walked into it, he saw that he was walking into Lon Lon Ranch.

"Lon Lon?" Link asked himself, walking to the door of the house of Talon, the owner. He reached for his bow and equipped it. He held it with pride, and placed an arrow on it. The bow was "loaded" ready for what may lie ahead for the young hero. "This cant be right."

Link looked up while walking inside the house, he didn't even bother knocking to enter, he just entered.

"Anybody home?" He asked, but there was no answer. Again, he asked "Anybody home." Still no answer. Finally, when all hope was lost, and being inside the girl's home whom he like so much, a door squeaked.

"Yes?" Asked a voice coming from upstairs. The old house was two stories, and had a strange stair-way-case. "Link, what do you want?" It had been Talon. "Malon is outside, that is if you want to talk to her.

"Um. Okay, thanks Tal." Link said, walking outside. "Tal" was Talon's nickname, and ever one in Hyrule would call him that. Link walked outside and heard Malon's humming. She was in the center of the race-track, like always, and was humming her favorite song "Epona's Song." He ran to her, and was calling out to her.

"Huh?. Oh, Link!!" Malon yelled. She too started to run, and dropping some empty bottles of Lon Lon Milk. She hugged him, and threw his bow at the ground.

"Uh.. Malon." He started but she held him tighter.

"I've missed you so much!" She sobbed, still hugging him. "And you've finally returned."

"Malon,.Yes Malon. I have returned." Link said, in a hypnotic voice.

They walked together to where Malon had been. Then they laid down, down on the crunch grass, that hadn't been watered in months. The Ranch looked different than it had before. Before, it was beautiful, and filled with the feeling of love. Now, it was dark, scary, and meaningless. They were there, lying in the grass, talking and talking.

He looked at her eyes, and she looked at his. About to kiss, Link saw something strange in her eyes, and immediately drew his sword. He jumped up, and backed away from her.

"What's wrong, Link?" She said sincerely. "Have I done something?"

"No," He started. "No, it can't."

He backed away from her until there he hit the tall fence, boarding the inside of the racetrack. She walked towards him.

"Isn't this what you always wanted?" She said. "For us to be together?"

"Not like this." He said, confusing her.

"Not like what?" She was reaching for her shoe, which had fallen off when she was running to him, a while ago. "Is there something wrong?" She walked up to him, then put her hands on his right shoulder.

"You're.You're not real." He said pushing her off him. She fell, and looked at him. He eyes widened, and became full red.

"YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU HAVE JUST DONE!!" She yelled, and then ran towards him, forming her right hand, into a sword.

Mikau, the great Fighter-Zora, entered the portal after Link. He walked in very slowly, almost cowardly, and when he finally let go of all of his worries, he saw he was entering the place where he had been raised. Zora Hall. Zora Hall was big to some, and very tiny to others. He had his own room, which had a deep "pool" for him. He would use it to relax, all he'd have to do was dive in, sit on the sandy under-water ground, and relax. Of course his favorite part of his room was how no one was notice he was there, in the pool.

There was one store in the hall, and a steep path towards a place over- looking all of the hall. Mikau loved to run up the steep path, do a roll while jumping, and diving off the cliff at the end of the path, and diving into the water before the stage for the Zora's Band. The stage was a huge sea-shell, and lots of flame-candle-holdings would circle the stage.

Mikau walked towards his room, passing a couple of female Zoras, obviously on their way to the store in the hall. He also passed by some other rooms, and finally walked into his room.

"Home, sweet, home." He said to himself, about to dive into the little pool in his room. But just when he was about to, someone opened his door.

"May I come in?" Asked a womanly voice. It was the one and only, Lulu. Mikau's girl-friend.

"Yeah." He walked to Lulu; she was wearing the usual dress that she would wear. (Sorry, about the details, I have a headache, and don't feel good at the moment. : ( )

"I need to talk to you." She shrugged. "I.I." She started to cry.

Holding her shoulders, Mikau kissed her on her forehead, and wiped away a tear from her face, and his. They stayed there, holding each other; then walked around the hall, holding hands, and taking a short swim. They spent five hours talking, hugging, and kissing. Until he brought up the fact that he was going to have to go back to Hyrule.

"I have to leave." He started. "I have to go back to Hyrule." She looked at him and hugged him, but as soon as she did, she rammed him into the wall.

"Fool, you should of never have bound yourself to him!" She hit him in the stomach.

"Lulu! What's wrong with you!" Mikau contracted his fins, getting ready for a fight. Then stopped. What was he doing? Was he about to hit his own girl-friend?

"We have done too much to them, Ganondorf!" She looked up, and formed herself into something evil.

While all of this was happening, Zelda, who had just gotten married to Link, wherever she was, was walking in the room where she had woken up in for the first time.

"How are you?" Asked Link. "Are you okay?" He kissed her, and headed towards a small door, opening it.

"Okay, I guess." She responded, feeling a sudden urge to call out to her partner. Rauru. He had stayed out in the Kokiri forest, where the portal was located. He was there, just in case of an emergency.

Link looked at Zelda, and muttered something to the door. Someone was talking to him. He looked at Zelda, again, and walked towards her.

"Zelda, I just got a call." He started. "And someone has just informed me, that someone is trying to break in my house."

Zelda gasped, but sensed he was lying.

"Something isn't right here." Zelda said. And Link stared at her. A bolt of light struck the room, and every thing went dark.
