Chapter 12:Theres always a plan B
"Oh my god." Zelda gasped. "How did this happen?" She was now on her knees weeping. Link just stood the, rage boiling inside of him. "Ganondorf." "Link it couldn't of been him evil can't touch the sword." Zelda explained standing back up." "He made someone else do it." He turned to her. "What?!" "Ganondorf must of put a spell on that guy back there and order him to destroy the sword. The guy must have been released from the spell while he was inches from destroying it and couldn't stop. Damn him. We need to figure out another way lets hurry." Link took off with Zelda nearly dragging her.
Impa was now breaking a sweat trying to sustain Ganondorf. She looked over at the path that Link and Zelda where rushing up. One thought entered her mind as she saw them, 'where's the sword'. "Ganondorf.. .huff.. the sword.... huff... broke." "Link you aren't making any sense." Nakoh walked over to his friend. "He's saying Ganondorf broke the sword using some guy to do it for him... whew.." Zelda explained all at once. Ganondorf smirked. "I couldn't show up here without a plan and I wasn't going to have that brat interfere again. I'm surprised you got passed my pet though. I thought he would have killed you easily. I guess if you want something done you have to do it yourself."
Everyone stood in fear. Was it really possible for the sword to be broken. There only hope. Saria finally broke the silence. "Zelda what about the extra sword hidden in the castle. Couldn't we use that." "Its only a legend. Many have tried to find it but have failed. I doubt it even exists." "Well its worth a shot right. I mean its better than just standing here waiting for the inevitable." Everyone looked at Mido. For once he said something smart (A/N: I know its a miracle). Link nodded in agreement. "Haaa haa ha. Your just wasting your last minutes alive." Ganondorf laughed. "Well see who has the last laugh. Com'on lets go."
Link ran into the castle followed by everyone else. They all got infront of the tapestry looking for the poem. Zelda found it and Link drew out his sword. "I'm sorry Zelda." "For what?" "For this." He hacked his blade across it making the poem fall out in a small piece. Zelda stood wide eyed. What the hell did he do that for. She was about to complain when he explained they couldn't carry the whole damn thing around. "Zelda can you translate?" "Yea sure. The first part says... 'In the old room full of history. There lies 4 statues made of gold.' (A/N: I gotta lay of the redwall series.) "History... history." Saria pondered aloud. "Does this castle have a museum?" "No...... unless you count the library with all my dads artifacts and crap."
Everyone stared at Zelda. "Thats it!" Nakoh shouted. "Whats it." Zelda still didn't realize she had solved the first part of the puzzle. "The Library!" (Is this sounding too Harry Potter???) Link said happily. "What about it?" Everyone fell down in disgust. "Take us to the Library. Thats the place full of history!!!!" "Oh I knew that." Zelda smiled as she led the way. They all had sweat drops on there faces. Sometimes Zelda could be so naive.
The first thing everyone noticed about the library was the huge statues that reached to the ceiling. "And your family is how rich?" Mido muttered to himself. "Whats the next part say Zelda?" Link asked. "It says There lies 4 statues made of gold. A secret one is near an old mystery." "Ok well there are three obvious ones." Saria pointed. "But whats the last bit mean?" They all thought for a moment, eyes exploring the room to find an answer. "Lets just search. We don't have time to figure all this stuff out. Zelda, Saria search the left side. Nakoh, Mido search the right side. I'll search in the middle." Everyone spread out and searched everywhere.
A few minutes later Nakoh slumped down. "Where never going to find this thing. Look at this place its huge." He sighed with his head down. Nakoh had noticed something shine near his feet and looked down at it. "yretsym." It said in a silver plate that was very small. "Hey guys come over here." Nakoh yelled. Everyone came over asking whats wrong. "Look its some inscription." "yretsym." Mido read confused. Zelda looked across the room. No other place had something like this. "Well what does it mean?"
Everyone shrugged. Nakoh lend against the wall thinking hard. His eyes wandered as he did so. He came to something right infront of him. It was a glass stool with the library directory. He saw his reflection and studied himself in it. Out of the corner of his eye he saw the reflection of everyone else and the inscription. His eyes widened as he realized it. Suddenly he threw himself around and began throwing the books on the shelves every which way. "Nakoh what are you doing?!" Link shouted. "Its here somewhere." "What?" "The statue is near here some where. Look at the inscription its fairly old by looks of it and backwards it reads Mystery!!!" The rest soon noticed it and soon everyone was throwing books.
The top two shelves where empty. Saria was about to go to the third row when she saw a slit in the wood. "Stop I think I found it." She almost yelled. "Look right here." Putting her fingers through the slit she wiggled it every which way to open it. Finally it gave away and opened. There was a row of golden statues. "Yes this is it." Link celebrated. Then looked at it again. "But there a ton of them." "Hey listen to the rest of the riddle You are the answer that is told. Lift it to find the hidden stair well." "Well I don't know about the first part lets just lift them all." Mido said as he reached for the closest one. As soon as he lifted it an arrow skimmed across his head. "Princess what kinda castle is this?" He stood frozen in fear. "Don't ask me where it came from. *Sigh* I guess its not gonna be as easy as we thought."
Saria pushed Mido to the side, who was still in shock, and examined the statues. "Look there all different. Theres a statue with a strong man, then theres another of a scholar or so it seems... Zelda what is this writing at the bottom of all of them?" Zelda leaned in closer to get a better look. Looking at each one for a second and remembering her history she came to a conclusion. "Most of these are legendary people from Hyrule and other places. Though some are fairy tale like creatures or predicted people will do something extraordinary. For instance Oskuru is the brave scientist from another kingdom but all dates of when there birth is has been lost." She pointed to a statue and the writings. Zelda stood back up as she unfolded the cloth of the tapestry.
"You are the answer that is told. Hmm..." She and the other said aloud as they thought. "So we have to figure out who is 'you'." Link muttered. "Well it has to be someone important." Mido said while massaging his temples. All this thinking hurt his head. "And it has to be one of us because it says 'You are the one that is told.' and its speaking to us." Zelda looked up at Saria. She was right it had to be one of them. Zelda skimmed over all of the statues names while the other talked. "Well if its someone important wouldn't it be Link?" Nakoh asked. Link slightly blushed. He was flattered to be thought of as legendary. He was about to say something when Zelda interrupted "No it can't be." Everyone looked at her.
"Its none of us. All the names on here aren't any of us. There's only The scientist I mentioned, Odin the warrior with his sword of power, Losan from the heavens as help to stop the fire, Zovud the boy from the wood village with a ghost at his side, Kin the independent scholar from the mountains, Fromon the magic girl from the wes-" "Hold on Zelda what was the third one?" Saria interrupted. "Zovud." Zelda pointed back to the statue that had a boy kneeling down with a arrow in his hand. "Why do you ask?" "And thats the only one with a ghost right?" Zelda nodded. "She thought for a moment all eyes on here then reached toward the statue. "I sure hope I'm right." Saria lifted it and the ground started to shack. "Saria what did you do." Nearly everyone shouted.
Suddenly the floor opened up revealing and old dusty stair way with torches lighting up on both sides. Once the trembling stopped they all got up and looked down at it. It must have been a thousand of years old. Link looked at Saria with wide eyes. "How did you know?!" She turned to him and smiled. "You told me that you where brought to Kokiri by someone and left here. I remember the Great Deku Tree giving you the name Link because we don't know your real name. And since you come from the woods it all fits together." Link stood there as his jaws dropped. She was right. "But what about that spirit guide thing?" He asked.
"Navi." Saria winked. She just solved out part of his past. "Does this mean Links name is really... Zovud?!" Nakoh seemed to ask everyone. No one replied. This was allot for Link to handle but he some how managed. (A/N: This is an important part to the story so remember it.) "I don't know about Links name but that sounds very familiar." Zelda added. "Anyway well figure this out later we're running out of time." Mido shouted. He had become less annoying since this whole thing started. Which was a relief for all of them. Everyone nodded and went down the stairwell.
"Oh my god." Zelda gasped. "How did this happen?" She was now on her knees weeping. Link just stood the, rage boiling inside of him. "Ganondorf." "Link it couldn't of been him evil can't touch the sword." Zelda explained standing back up." "He made someone else do it." He turned to her. "What?!"
