The Secret of the Sages
Disclaimer: Do you really need to ask?
"Nabooru?" Nabooru looks up from her desk. Collent, one of their mages, is standing in the door. She gestures for her to come in.
"What is it?" Nabooru asks. Collent just hands her a note.
"Some people from Hyrule Castle came here and said that you needed to see this immediately." She says. Nabooru takes the note. Collent, her duty accomplished, bows and leaves. Nabooru carefully unfolds the note, then almost passes out from shock.
****To all Sages, this is urgent. Please report to Skyword point in Hyrule field at three p.m. tomorrow. I realize this message would have gotten to you faster by just sending a telepathic message, but I have reason to believe that we are being monitored. Please come, and remember to be ready for battle. I hope it is not necessary, but be prepared. This is extremely urgent, so everyone must attend. Thank You, Zelda.****
It takes a full minute for the impact of what was happening to sink in. Then Nabooru goes into her room, paperwork unfinished. She reaches under her bed for her favorite Scimitars. From the sound of it, she will need the extra powerful swords. She also grabs her bow and quiver, and about 30 arrows. Unfortunately, there isn't time to get more. It will take her about a day to reach the spot. She hurries over to Selta, the next in line of command.
"Selta?" Nabooru calls. Selta looks over, then snaps to attention.
"Yes, exalted Nabooru?" she asks. Nabooru looks her straight in the eye.
"I have to go on urgent business. Keep everything under control." Selta nods. "Oh, and while you are at it..." Nabooru adds, noting that Selta is also a master archer, "See about making the archery range more challenging." Selta smiles.
"Yes, exalted Nabooru!!" Selta has been waiting for this opportunity. She has been complaining that the range is too easy for a long time now. Well, she now has two jobs. Nabooru, confident that the fortress, and their King, is in good hands, leaves for Skyword Point.
**12 hours of walking**
//This isn't good..// Nabooru thinks. //The field is much too quiet.// Nabooru is almost at the point. She looks over to the side, and sees the Zora princess, Ruto.
"Nabby!!" Ruto cries. Nabooru shakes her head. She hates that nickname. But since Ruto has a thick skull, she can't really do anything about it. She slows down so the fish can catch up.
"Ruto, do you know what is going on?" she asks. Ruto shakes her head.
"I just got a note from Zelda saying to meet, and that it was urgent." Nabooru frowns. This really isn't good.
"Did you encounter....anything......on your way over here?" Nabooru says after a moment. Ruto shakes her head again.
"The river and field are unusually quiet." She responds. This is getting worse by the moment. They look up ahead, and they see that they have arrived at their destination. Link and Draunia are waiting for them. Saria is also there. Everyone looks at each other.
"Same story all around?" Nabooru asks. They don't even have to ask. They all nod. A few moments later, Rauru, Impa and Zelda arrive. All eyes go to them.
"We have a grave problem." Rauru says. Sheik arrives a moment later.
"Sorry I'm late." He says. Everyone turns back to Rauru.
"As I was saying, we have a huge problem. The seal has been broken." All eyes go wide. "But that isn't the problem. Gannon is still in the Evil Realm. He hasn't moved." Nabooru thinks about this a moment. He has free clearance to leave, why hasn't he? Everyone is also confused. What is going on?
"What is this?" Draunia asks.
"We are not sure. No one else is in the Evil Realm as far as we know. That is the problem." Zelda says. Sheik rolls his eyes. Link grits his teeth. Impa looks down a bit. But what could possibly be happening?
"So what do we need to do?" Saria asks. Zelda steps up a bit.
"Before we were born, others were sages. We need to find their signs." Nabooru stares at her. Zelda just sighs. "We need to find the secrets of the previous Sages. They would hold the key to this crisis." We all look at each other. Everyone is thinking the same thing.........where do we start?
To be continued.......
