Link was sweating more and more as he and Durgen walked
deeper into the forest.
*What is happening to me?
"We will find out soon enough."
"Get out of my head!"
"I don't mean to pry. Your thoughts just amuse me more than others tend to. You are very complicated, for a small lad, and your feelings for Zelda are so pure, it almost lets me believe in love-"
"I am not. Some book! That is MINE! No one else's!" He bellowed, motioning to his head.
"Ah, and that anger.."
They continued the trek in silence, until they reached a mound In the earth, that was beneath a tree. Durgen reached down, pulled a shrub, and out swung a door. The room inside was gigantic, and well lit, no doubt magic.
Durgen sat on a large chair, near a roaring fire, and looked at Link, Then began to speak, but stopped, the look on his face showing that he was choosing his words VERY carefully.
" Agahnim was a very close friend of mine and your father's. I was the chief Sage, Agahnim was the head council, and your father was a respected protector of the Triforces. Agahnim did not want to be second fiddle to the sages, believing himself superior to us in both power and wisdom. He and his son planned for years on how take power and finally, Agahnim found his chance. When I found out about his treachery, I was banished here. Your father went to attack Agahnim, but was slaughtered in minutes. Agahnim took power and with your father dead. he too, took ALL of the Triforces. He built his empire up in the dark realm, and began spreading this one. He used this method to shield his son from any resisters from this realm. Then YOU came, and "defeated" Agahnim. But what you seem to forget, is that a wielder of the Triforce. Can't die-"
"But I watched him die!" Link screamed.
"Did you? .What I am going to tell you Link, you will not believe. You will deny it with such ferocity; you will be tempted to kill me. You won't accept it, but I beg of you to try."
