Aria: After a little deliberation, I decided to stick with my description
of how Zelda can use the goddess powers. She's not the Hero of Time, you
know. She'd have to do things a little differently, don't you think?
Nayru: She's only saying that because LoZ: The Wind Waker is the ONLY one
of the series she's actually been able to beat.
Aria: *blushes profusely* It was easier to work than the last one I tried
was.
Farore: *rolls eyes* Aria, when you tried to play Link's Awakening, you
died the second you stepped on the beach! In the beginning, no less!
Aria: *turns redder* Stop reminding me already. I know I sucked at that.
That's not the point.
Nayru: *takes a deck of cards and starts shuffling it* Didn't one of your
reviewers suggest you get a new disclaimer person?
Aria: Uh, yeah. They said I should use the owl thing from Ocarina of Time
and Majora's Mask. I'm actually considering it.
Darunia: What did I do? It's not like I seriously broke the rules or
anything!
Aria: It's not that!
Nayru: She's having you and all the other sages appear in chapter thirty-
three.
Aria: Nayru! You weren't supposed to say that! Where's a mad, giant cucco
when you need one?!
Darunia: I'm going to be in the story and you didn't tell me?! Aria!
Aria: Sorry! I didn't mean to! It just goes so well with the situation!
Darunia: What situation?! Why don't you tell me these things?
Aria: Oh, jeez! Darunia, if I told you WHAT situation, I'd spoil the
story!
Darunia: Oh. Sorry.
Aria: Just do the disclaimers and I'll work out the kinks.
Darunia: Yes, ma'am! Oh, great. Now I sound like those pirates. Anywho;
Aria Zephyr, the authoress of this story, does not own the Legend of Zelda
games and anything else in that manner. She does own the story, however.
Aria: Because of criticisms, the former Princess Zelda will be called the
princess or lady, and so forth. I just can't call her Zelda! Or the
former Zelda! It would be too indecorous!
Farore: Whazzat mean?
Nayru: It means improper.
Aria: Okay. Um, please enjoy chapter thirty-one. I have to go work things
out in chapter thirty-three.
Chapter 31: The Mystery Becomes Clearer
Later, though the sun was still shining, the princess told Zelda to get
some sleep, while she went to talk to someone. Zelda quickly agreed, as
she was very tired, and lay down beneath a tree and was soon fast asleep.
"She looks so much like Alana like that," the princess mused as she watched
the girl sleep for a moment.
"You have already admitted that you are her ancestor; why won't you tell
her about his?" a quiet voice behind her asked. "You knew who he was
already, didn't you, Father?" she said, turning to face an old man in royal
attire. "I did when the Triforce of Courage accepted him so freely.
Though, it was rather obvious. He had the shield, not to mention he looks
exactly like the Hero of Time," the old man said.
"So, why didn't you tell the boy?" the princess asked. "I still didn't
have the proof. No spirit here will admit to whether the Hero of Time had
a descendant or not and Nayru says that we will find out eventually and no
more," the old man said grudgingly.
"The only way we'd find out is if he was here, which he is not," the
princess said. "This is why we need to send the girl to the witch's
fortress as soon as possible! The witch has obvious connections to
Ganondorf and if anyone could come up with a spell to hold a human spirit
captive, it's him," the old man said. "But, what if she kills her? You
know as well as I how dangerous the witch is! She could easily have
destroyed the boy by now!" she said.
"But, she wouldn't," the old man said. "What?" the princess asked in
surprise. "The witch won't kill him until she has what she desires most:
the Triforce of Courage and the Triforce of Wisdom. She still does not
realize that the Triforce of Courage is right before her and that the
Triforce of Wisdom is hidden in our world. You must guard the girl until
she can rescue the Hero of Winds and break the witch's spell," the old man
said.
"And, how am I supposed to do that? My magic will not be as powerful in
the living world, not to mention, how I am supposed to mask the girl's
presence in the fortress?" the princess asked doubtfully. "You must
accompany her. That way, the Triforce will not be felt by the witch and
the girl will be invisible to her magic," the old man said. "But, Father,
I don't understand!" she said. "You were a former Triforce bearer. If you
are near it or its current bearer, you are able to mask its presence. That
is why the witch is not able to realize that the Triforce of Courage is
right under her nose," the old man said calmly.
She was stunned for a moment. She eventually regained control of her voice
and said, "Then, that would mean that he is in there, somewhere." The old
man nodded and said, "It is the only way that the witch cannot feel the
Triforce of Courage so close to her. Though, strangely enough, even I
cannot feel any sort of living creature within the fortress, except the
witch, the boy, and the witch's minions."
"She may have killed him," the princess said. "Yes, but if she had, then
why did he not come to this land? His deeds would surely guarantee a place
for him here. I have asked the goddesses, but all they tell me is that he
should be here and if he isn't, something is interfering," the old man
wondered.
"But, the goddesses themselves built the gateway and set their own magic to
guide spirits here! How could anyone have enough strength to override
that?" she cried. "Do not forget; the witch possesses greater power than
before and when she ruined the Sacred Wood, she carried her father's
essence within her. It is very likely that they may have cursed him for
revenge," the old man warned.
The princess sighed wearily. "I've waited so long for him to return. At
least that would be a suitable excuse for why he never returned, but I
still want to know why he vanished from Hyrule in the first place!" she
said.
"That we may discover in good time, but do not forget what stands against
us all. The only hope we have is if the young princess and the Hero of
Winds can somehow break the witch's spells and end her magic forever," the
old man said. "But, Father," she began.
Suddenly, she was cut off by an anguished cry from Zelda.
Nayru: Finished yet?
Aria: NO! Oh crap! How am I gonna have enough chapters now?! After this
update, I'm only going to have one unfinished chapter! And, I still have
to go over it! *covers face with hands*
Farore: It's okay, Aria. No one's going to hate you because you haven't
been able to write much in a while.
Aria: A while, nothing! I've only written two chapters' worth in four
days! I used to be able to write at most four chapters a day in my
stories! This is terrible!
Nayru: Poor thing. She's having another breakdown.
Darunia: Should I stop complaining about being in the story then?
Farore and Nayru: *exchange glances* YES! VERY MUCH SO, YES!
Darunia: Loud goddesses. Very scary.
Aria: I NEED SOME SORT OF MUSE OR INSPIRATION!
Farore: Can anybody come up with some sort of cute and adorable character
from the Zelda games that could cheer her up? We're desperate here!
Darunia: She's a lot easier to deal with when she's happy. And she's not
happy.
Nayru: HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
