Like I said, Zelda is not mine.

This is the first part of I hope many more chapters. But I need help. I need to know what you think and what else should happen. I have a lot written but I have a block so anything is accepted except for bad stuff, which would make my characters and me sad. (And Kat's characters.) Well, Onwards into the abyss of the story. Oh and I'm sorry if the chapters are short. I don't write all that well.









Chapter 1: Off to the Great Beyond





Sondilyn sat around waiting for the others to catch up. She had wanted to take a vacation for quite a long time, but with everyone wanting to do something else there was no way that she was going to get that vacation. Sondilyn sat still impatiently kicking her feet in the dust,

"Come on!! You guys are too slow!" She yelled loudly to the on coming group.

The others were coming up the path that led to Termina's Clock Town. Ty was glaring daggers at Link as Link was glaring swords back at him.

"Why don't you just cool it you guys." stated Kat. "It's not like you haven't already got your revenge last time we were in Clock Town."

As Kas thought back he remembered the last time that they were there.everyone got in huge trouble and he had to get them out. You see a few months back Kas had to rescue everyone from a dangerous hunter that was after Timbre's head. Not a pretty sight now that he thought about it.



Sond rocked back and forth on a large boulder. "That's it!" she yelled to the group before she started running off into the distance, away from the group, "I'm going to Lynna!"



Kat looked ahead in surprise, "Did she just say she was going to Lynna?"

Kafei gave her a side-glance and shrugged nonchalantly, "I guess so. it's about time that she took a vacation. She has to put up with us all the time and we never let her get any rest."

He had a point, all the time Sond had to save her friends and put up with the criticism of how bad her cooking is. So her cooking was bad, well, really bad. Last time that she tried cooking she blew up half of the inn and the back of the milk bar.

Chiron looked at Kafei with the same look that Kafei gave Kat, "Yeah, after putting up with us, who wouldn't need a vacation?"



Timbre walked behind the group trotting along side Kas. "So." was the only thing that he could think of.

Kas, who just kept walking, gave a slight sigh.

"Do you know something we don't?"

Kas looked down at Timbre and then back at the horizon where the silhouette of Sond was diminishing quickly. "I have a feeling that she is not going to get the quiet vacation that she has been wanting."

Timbre looked up at Kas with a questioning look but thought better than to question someone who knew a lot more than most people.



"I's no' li' we ano'ed 'er or an'thin'..." Nick said offhandedly.

A glowing purple orb popped out from under Link's hat and buzzed around Kat's head "Well, I guess that we have to wait for her to come back." Tael said.

Link was going to say something but at that time he was hit upside the head with Ty's hand.

"Oh. I'm sorry. I thought I saw a bug but it was only a dust speck."

Link glared at Ty and was tempted to say something very creative when another glowing orb peered out from underneath the hat. Tatl groggily tried to lift the hat up enough to scoot out but ended up just peeking her head out. "You know you might as well stay and rest your sorry butts here." she said "She's saved you a lot of times and you wouldn't want to get into anymore trouble than you need to be."

Three more brightly colored orbs flew out and circled the group. "Yeh." said Pedro who was leaning against Chiron's heavily gelled hair "You wouldn't want to end up dying."

"You know. Sond running off is very peculiar," stated Dink who at this time was perched on Kafei's head.

Keeto zoomed around and landed on Timbre's nose. "You could be in this conversation furry."

Timbre just flicked the fairy off his nose and kept walking. This is kind of strange.He thought . she must have something on her mind if she just ran off like that. He couldn't have been more right.



Sond had slowed down to a walk and was quite far ahead of the group by now. "It's not like I know the way." she said to her waist pack "You could be at least a little help. if you don't mind."

A dark blue fairy popped his head out of the bag and started playing with the drawstring. "Well, maybe I could be a little more help." He struggled and pushed at the bag " if's you let me out of here."

Sond opened the bag sending the fairy flying out and crashing into her coffee cup. "I didn't know you liked coffee," she giggled.

He didn't. he would have rather have stayed in the bag, but Sond was his friend and one of his only at that. Sond picked Cyrus out of her cup and set him on her shoulder. She wished she hadn't done that. Anything would have been nicer, but sending him into her cup? That was just mean.

"I'm sorry. I'm just irritated."

Cyrus looked over and sighed, "I'm sorry too."

There was an awkward silence and then Sond started walking. She had might as well get on her way. There was a long journey ahead of her.

Sond headed northwest past the canyon and the swamp coming in contact once or twice with someone she knew. She even got to see the Deku King and his daughter. Dinner there was great but it was a little bit on the grainy side. Though most food made by the Deku race was. Camping the night in a tree house with a monkey or having target practice with a friendly octoroc or two was nothing strange to Sond. After traveling for about three days, Sond came upon a rather large village with a few trees and many houses.

"You know." she said, "This isn't how I pictured Lynna to be." Sond looked around questionably and studied her surroundings.

It was a nice day and the sun was rising over a large hill with an equally large flower underneath it. Looking around there was a house up on another hill, many dirt patches, a small shop, many little houses, and a large gate.

"I really need to learn to ask for directions." she said.

A small boy ran up to her and hugged her leg tightly.

"May I help you?"

The little boy looked up and started sobbing quite loudly. Having an immediate reaction Sond pulled out her bow and looked around with caution.

"I don't see anything that would scare you."

The boy looked around and pulled on Sond's skirt. "Watch." he said.

Sond waited for a good twenty minutes before she sat down and started rummaging through her side pack. She picked her coffee cup off her head and swished it a few times. Nothing was happening and it was becoming really boring. Putting the cup back atop her head Sond thought of her friends and what they would be doing now. They're probably arguing or fighting over who gets the top bunk in the inn or doing a jam session. She sure missed having jam sessions. The band playing and Timbre singing, Ty hitting Link in the head with his saxophone, Link getting mad at him and tossing the sacred Ocarina of time at Ty's genital area, Nick falling over laughing at the situation and landing on Chiron who in turn would smack Nick in the arm with his guitar. Sure she missed that, but having to cook and having no time to herself was not a vacation situation.

Sond soon found herself playing solitaire with her deck of cards and losing at it, for a change. The boy sat next to her staring at her face.

"Why are you staring at me?" she asked a little annoyed.

The boy just blinked and did not reply. "You are really annoying me." Sond shuffled her cards and got up. "If this is how I have to spend my day, I might as well have a look around."

For a small area there sure were a lot of houses. She stopped at the first one she came to and knocked. Surprisingly the door opened and she walked in. There was a shelf, a podium, and a really scary looking man with large spectacles. A dim torch in the room's corner lighted the room. The short man behind the podium stared at her for a moment and said in broken English, "I see we have customer" his eyes glinting in the torch light "You find item and bring to me. no stealing. I sell for good price."

Sond looked around on the shelf.

"Nothing I couldn't get from the merchants back in Goron Mountain." was said under a breath as she saw a very pretty ring. "This would go great with my deku mask!" Sond hurried to the counter with her treasure and stuck the ring in the merchant's face. "I want this," she said shoving it forward.

The man stepped backwards from his spot behind the counter and took the ring out of Sond's hand. "You pick good item. thirty rupees." Sond looked somewhat flabbergasted at the price of the ring but she really wanted it. It was gold and had a little black hooded face on it.

"I don't know what this face is for but I sure think it will go good with my mask."

Sond walked out of the store to see a whole new world. The large flower that was in full bloom was now shriveled and brown and there was multi colored leaf litter scattering the ground.

"This is getting WAY too weird." said Sond as the little boy came running over to her again.

"The oracle has disappeared!!! he yelled.

Sond covered her ears in pain as the boy screamed. If there was ever a time that one was to have a massive headache, this would be that time, for that kids voice went off of the Richter scale. Not that Sond's didn't, it's just screaming in people's ears is a very mean thing to do.

After Sond regained her hearing in her right ear she left the little boy who was in the process of having a fit of screaming.

"I'm going to have more of a look around. maybe I'll loose that kid in the process" was all that was said as Sond walked away from the shop.

The leaves crunched underneath her feet, as she looked around at all the brightly colored houses. One of them caught her eye right off the bat. A ring protruded out of its green roof and a huge sign stood near the doorway. Vasu Jewelers, all your ring appraising needs fulfilled! Well, if that wasn't the strangest sign, then she didn't know what could have been. Appraising rings, what will they think of next? She thought to herself. She entered the ring shop with her ring in hand. As she entered a man with a white turban with a bright blue feather sticking out of it ran to her and greeted her with a very powerful handshake.

"Do come in! Welcome to Vasu Jewelers! I don't recognize you so you must be a new timer here."

Sond thought to herself, He must be really starved for customers if he greets newcomers to his store like that.

The man dragged Sond to the front counter and laid out a box. "This is a ring box! It holds magical rings that you collect and get appraised."

Sond looked at the man as if he had a peculiar bug crawling on his forehead.

"Oh, you must be very confused my friend" he noted, noticing the strange look that was plastered on Sond's face. "Let me show you the magic of the rings."

What Sond saw next set her into a fit of laughter. The man named Vasu took out a ring from under his counter and placed it on a small piece of cloth. Covering it, he struck the counter with his hand sending a light sparkly dust into the air.

"There! This ring has been appraised! I will call it the friendship ring! It is a symbol of a new meeting! I will give you this ring for free, and as a symbol of our friendship I will also give you this box."

Sondilyn grabbed the box and stuck the Friendship ring inside. While walking out of the store, Sondilyn realized the ring in her hand.

"Excuse me Mr. Vasu. I have this ring that I wanted to be. er. appraised."

Vasu looked at Sond happily and stuck out his hand. "I'm glad you understand the process young one! Let me appraise this ring!" Vasu appraised the ring quickly using the same process as last time. "There! I will call this ring the Subrosian ring! You become like a Subrosian!"

Sond looked at the ring quizzically. What used to be a gold ring with a little black hooded face on it was now a silver ring with a red hooded face on it. Vasu looked at Sond and put his hand out.

"I forgot to tell you, but every ring appraisal will cost twenty rupees each."

Sond's mouth dropped open. It's not like she was made of money. Again Sond thought to herself, I gave most of my money to Ty when we went to clock town. Sond dug into her pocket and pulled out the last two rupees in her pocket. Just enough too.

Sond yelled at the top of her lungs, "You know, you could TELL people that they have to pay BEFORE they receive what they want!!!!"

Vasu stared at her in amazement after that comment because everything after that was lit with very colorful vocabulary. Vasu stated as she was walking toward the door, "Rings don't do anything unless worn!"

Sond stormed out the door just to find that once again the outside had changed. What was before a beautiful fall day was now a hazy humid summer day. "What the #&^!@#*!!" was the last thing she could yell before that small boy and a dog pounced on her.

The little boy who was now crying looked up and whined, "But they took the Oracle." Though she had heard it enough before.

Sond looked down and for the first time she noticed that the boy looked oddly familiar. Though he was only six or seven he looked much like Chiron, except the kid's hair was shorter and his eyes were bigger. His dog looked familiar as well. On the contrary to more black fur than white, the dogs fur was white and black but it's green eyes shone brightly in the summer's sun.

Sond shook her head and looked down again, the boy was now staring straight up at her.

"What's your name?" Sond asked quizzically.

The boy blinked a few times and softly answered, "Miksou and that's my dog Tisore."

"You look and awful lot like a couple of my friends." What she meant was that she looked like Chiron and Timbre of course.

The boy blinked again, "Well," the tears in his eyes had almost fully faded, "The Oracle used to say that things are different in Holodrum and Lynna. You can always find an opposite or similar counterpart. They all come from Symmetry city in Lynna."

Sond sighed and plopped down at the base of a tree. This was getting too confusing. First, some Oracle has gone missing, then some Symmetry City thing, more season changes than you can have in several years, and now I'm lost in Holodrum, Sond thought.

"Some vacation."

The boy looked down at the blurted statement. "I.I didn't mean to bother you on your vacation." he sobbed as he ran off to a house in the distance.

As day turned to night Sond found herself lying beneath another tree. The only problem that she found with it was trying not to be set on fire as she watched a deku scrub or two bobbing up and down arguing the prices of shields.

"Bo! They pay 300 an' a half!"

"Ya' mak'em pay 500 and they need it bad. 'cause ya' barg'n wit' a like like, Dip!"

"Bo! Goo'! Goo'! Buh' don'cha make it 400 an' they'll be more easier ta' pay."

"True, true, Dip."

The jabbering sent Sond into an uneasy sleep. Her dreams filled with thoughts about her friends. "They don't want to be your friends." a gravely voice echoed through her head, "They are just using you.they don't need you.they sent you packing." The voice faded and Sond was watching herself being used and teased. All the time having people pretend she was wanted. Every time she thought that none of her friends would ever do such a thing, the dream just got worse.

"'ay Bo, ya' hear that?"

"Yeah.what is it Dip?"

"Bo i's commin' from that tree."

"Ya' sure Dip?"

"Bo, 'course I'm sure!"

"Ya' think we shoul' poke it Dip?"

"Bo, yer' crazy! We shoul' just leave it!"

"Buh what've i's hurt Dip?"

"Bo, Yer right."

If it wasn't funny enough to see a deku scrub walking, it's even funnier to see two of them running. Like a heard of hungry Gorons running after a single piece of rock steak the dekus ran.

"Bo, ya' think i's dead?" "I think i's breathin' Dip."

"Bo, le'ss bring it inta' the house." "Goo' idea Dip."

The two deku merchants grabbed the sleeping form and dragged it across the ground into their hollow.

"Prop'per up Dip."

"Bo, make some coffee."

The warmth seeped through Sond's damp tunic and her dreams faded as she was sent into a deep slumber.



Across Holodrum on the outskirts of Lynna, two figures sat in a tower at a table discussing their plans.

"We kidnap the Oracles and make them do our bidding. Then with that we will have the power to run Holodrum and Lynna." The tall man in metallic armor shifted in his seat and reached for a pawn.

"Onox, that plan will give us the chance to then capture the princess of Hyrule. We won't have to worry about her guards because they are too fat to even try to stop us. We will rule the world." The other figure pushed back her hat and moved her knight forward. "Check mate."
