The Legend of Zelda: The Seven Runes
Second Chapter Panda88
Authors Note: I forgot to mention previously that I do not own Zelda or anything in relation to Zelda, except for this story.
***** Brief Description of Chapter One *****
The princess Zelda, watching from Hyrule castle, senses something strange about a storm on the see, something familiar. Then, realizing that there is someone she once knew that was venturing through the sea, said "May then, the journey be safe for you." The story then cuts to Link, the child, sailing through the storm. Suddenly his boat topples over, leaving him trapped. When he wakes, he finds himself lying on the other shore. So now begins the next chapter of Zelda: The Seven Runes.
The rolling waves broke gently on the shoreline of this unknown land, as Link lay there, dreamily, not knowing what was about to happen in just a few moments. Try he did to stand up, to journey on, but nothing could overcome the sheer bliss he felt of the waves that gently rolled onto him, warm and soothing.
BANG!
A large round object came hurtling through the sky and landed perfectly in the center of his back. The impact was so sudden that he scrambled onto his knees, choking on the seawater. "Alas!" heralded an approaching voice. "Were my aim as good as my wit I would indeed be a great man. Alas a thousand times. Curse this wretched contraption." As he lay there, gasping for air, Link heard the sound of footsteps on sand. He waited, until a large pair of feet came to halt by his side. He looked up. "Oh blessed indeed. A Hylian child! Of all days. Blessing. Oh blessed indeed." It was an old man, with twisted white hair, wearing a black robe, and a pair of very old sandals. In his left hand, he held a wooden walking stick. In his right. he held a large hollow pipe, one end sealed. Poking out of the wood, were several other unreasonable gadgets, and a small wooden handle, which he was gripping tightly. "You must forgive me my dear boy. I did not see you from afar. Are you hurt?" And as Link stood up to his full height, the old man took him by the arm and led him from the shore. "I am so sorry my boy. I would never have expected anyone to come down to the beach during these times, least of all a Hylian. I thought it safe to try out my new weapon. OH. this is my entire fault. Come with me. I am sure there are a thousand questions on your mind. Come with me and I shall explain." Speaking out for the first time, Link asked, "Where are you taking me?" "Why, to the Great City of course." He replied.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Along the coast they walked, until the old man made a sharp turn into the forest. They passed many trees, until Link had lost track of how long they were walking. Even the old man grew tired now. They walked a few hundred more paces, until the light began shining through the thick layers of the canopy. Finally there opened a clearing. As Link walked out into the light, he realized that he was standing on the top of a hill.
Before him stood a vast city, greater than any town he had past seen. In the center of the city, stood a great monument of stone, by far the largest tower in the sky. Surrounding the city like a great ring was a fortified wall, not one, nor two, but four layers thick. Next to the monument was a smaller building, but still large enough to bear great significance. Beneath this was a market square, where a small amount of people, that seemed to look like ants, were exchanging goods. "Do not worry, dear boy, we will not be going that far today." As they walked down the hill, Link could have sworn that he heard a distant cackle in the thickets. When they got down to the gates, which were towering over them many times higher, the old man signaled to a guard, who blew on a horn. "Welcome back, Inventor. How was it?" The gate began to rise, as the Inventor spoke. "Tragic most sadly. I made an ill shot that strayed off course and hit this young boy here. All is not lost however. This boy may be just the person I need to help me. We have much work to get done."
They were past the walls now, and among a section of small stone buildings. Here, the old man led Link through a door.
Inside, the room was dusty and ancient, but at least quite spacious. In the corner was a bed, beside it a small table. In the other corner was a fireplace that looked like it had never been used. To the other side was a set of stairs that ascended into a room above them. But the man led him into the center of the room, where stood a larger table and three chairs. "Have a seat, my boy. I am afraid there is no time for sleep just yet. We both have much explaining to do. I shall begin. but where do I start? Oh yes. I am the inventor. I create new ideas for the city that helps it run better. But unfortunately, the Inventor is all you can call me, for I lost my name long ago, like everyone else, even the city. It was 50 years ago, when evil last settled here, during the last jubilee, in fact. That is when we lost our names. Now we are called by what we do. We have no names."
Link sat there, barely able to pay attention to what he was saying, tired from the journey and from having swallowed too much seawater. "My name is Link. I come from the Kokiri forest. I am here on a quest that was given to me in a dream. In my dream I was told that evil was residing here, and that I must end it. That is all I know." Then he noticed that the Inventor had placed his gadget down on the table. "What is that thing?" "Ah, yes. Glad indeed I am, that you asked. This, my dear boy, is the latest model of my Deku Cannon. But, as you felt for yourself, it requires much improvement. You said you were on a quest, did you not?" Link looked up at him "Yes. But I cannot start it yet. I am too tired." "Yes, Yes, I know. But what a coincidence. I too am on a quest. A quest very similar to your own, in fact. I too, must find a way of ridding this place of evil, for why else would I invent this Deku Cannon? It may prove useful in battle. Yes. We may prove useful to one another. I think you should stay here with me today. Tomorrow, I will show you what needs to be known. Blessed indeed. It was, I believe, the intention of time to have us meet. What luck, what. destiny. Rest now. More will be revealed later."
