Tulip-Jin: So many chapters, so little time!
Yami Tulip-Jin: Yeah yeah. Just go already, I'm gonna take a nap...*thud*
Tulip-Jin: Huh?
Yami Tulip-Jin: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
Chibi Red Eyes Black Dragon: Raawr. Raaawwrrr rawr rrrraawwwrrr. (Wow. That was really...weird.)
Tulip-Jin: Oh well, she did just stay outside all night...
Chibi Red Eyes: Raaawwwrrr rrrawwwrr rawr. (I still think that was a mean trick.)
Tulip-jin: It was Truth or Dare! Like I was supposed to know she only picks dares?
Chibi Red Eyes: Raaawwwrrr... (Sigh...)

…A few hours later, Link came to himself. He was slightly disturbed by the rather
large cut down his arm. Apparently, the monsters in the Gerudo Training Grounds _were_
getting bigger, just like the Gerudo had warned him. They had forbidden him to remove them
- they thought it was great for training - but it was still a bad sign. He sighed. At
least this little diversion had made FD happy. Link wrapped the cut with a scrap of cloth
as he left the Grounds. It was midmorning. Epona happily knocked him flat again before
they made their way back to the Temple. The Temple of Time, where Link spent most of his
days, was very different from when he'd first seen it. It was harder to find for one, a
plus when one wanted something left alone. That thing was the Master Sword. The Master
Sword had to stay in the Temple, but some foolhardy person was always after it. Stupid
rumors of it giving absolute power had been circulating for decades. Link patted Epona
before going inside. In a sense, he'd become the 'Sage' for this temple. It was a powerful
focus point for Seeing. He'd actually found himself calling it home. He sat, leaning
against the wall. Too many late nights took their toll, and Link fell asleep.
@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@
He was lost in the mist. It swirled around him, chilling him to the bone. It was
so dark…where was he? It felt like the Sacred Realm. He saw a magnificent building.
'Temple of Light' came to mind. In an instant, he saw everything. This was Hyrule of the
Lost Years! What remained after sealing Ganondorf away. Here, the Six Sages used their
powers to enforce the seal that kept him there. True, all but Rauru had chosen to follow
Zelda to Link's time, but their powers still held. That's when he heard the voice.
"…Chosen One…" it whispered. "…beware the Forces of Darkness!" "Who's there?" Link
called. The mist deadened his words. "Seek the shadow darkness cannot cast!" It
whispered. "Power and freedom have their own price…" It faded, and suddenly the Temple in
front of him shattered into a thousand pieces. Link was blinded by the explosion -
@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@
- And cried out as he woke. Link wiped his sweaty forehead. That was the strangest
nightmare he'd ever had. None had ever been so forward - but then, he'd never fallen asleep
in the Temple of Time before. Link thought about the strange warnings he'd heard. It was
disturbing, and to make matters worse, he could feel FD on the fringes of his mind again.
"Forces of Darkness?" Link muttered. It was almost impossible to tell when the forces of a
great and powerful evil were banding together. Except - Link started. It _couldn't_ be…could
it? It was time to find out.
Zelda woke from a twisted nightmare. Darkness overcoming light, to be overcome by
shadows…this dream made no sense! She rubbed her eyes. At least the Royal Family gave her
some time off. When she and the Sages went back to this time, the Zelda of this era had
gladly named her in a high position. Zelda wouldn't be in charge of Hyrule directly, but
she could train those who would. It had been such a weird feeling, seeing her younger self
being crowned Queen. But that had been half a century ago. Now she was in charge of a
different crowd. The young princess Zelda (named in her honor), the prince of the Gerudo,
and a young half-Kokiri girl following Link's footsteps. She'd already been named Personal
Bodyguard-in-Training of the Princess. To avoid confusion, Zelda had changed her title from
Princess to Duchess. She was in charge of their education in the matters of magical
leadership. Today she'd have to test them. Zelda was waiting in the Garden for them. She
could hear the arguments as they made their way down the hall. As always, the guards
announced them. "Your Ladyship, the Princess Zelda of Hyrule, Prince Menandorf of the
Gerudo, and Miss Lace." As they came in, Zelda watched her namesake in wonder as always.
She was the spitting image of herself as a girl. Then cameMenandorf. He had the usual
appearance of a Gerudo male, wearing lots of black. Then Lace followed him. Looked just
like her brother, that one. Blue eyes, blond hair in a ponytail. With her was her fairy,
Navi. Navi, who'd fainted in shock when discovering her new charge. Zelda was just
starting the lesson when disaster struck.

Tulip-Jin: Yeah, I'm cutting it off there!
Chibi Red Eyes: Raaaawwwrr rawr raaawwwrr rawr rawwwwrrrr...rawr... (You see, the next part's loud and if we did it now...well...)
Tulip-Jin: My Yami would wake up and then kill us. She has this thing about being woken up when she doesn't want to get up!
Yami Tulip-Jin: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz... *Hugs Giant Mallet of Doom close like a teddy bear*
Tulip-Jin: So if you could *quietly* leave us a nice review, please do!
Yami Tulip-Jin: Yeah yeah. Just go already, I'm gonna take a nap...*thud*
