Time Period: Alternate history:
Hyrule in medieval times Age: The legendary books:
Mudoran sovereignty ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~
Link found himself in a strange place, he was on the ground, and had a large book case upon him. There were books spilled all around him. They had strange titles, all written in a strange ink, one that didn't blot, as Link saw none, and there were no incorrect strokes in the perfect handwriting.
He lifted one of the books, entitled 'Mysteries of the Ancient Hylians.' He read into this, still trapped under the case of books, as no one had saved him yet. He had been under the case for around ten minutes, but not even the books had been cleaned up, the case lay as it had fallen.
In the book it said:
"Their words revolved around swords, battles, and the royal family's orders.
Until, one day, a great darkness fell upon the land, and the Imprisoning War began.
Ganon was sealed away in the golden land, with the triforce, by the seven sages.
Suddenly, several years later, a dark wizard abducted the
descendants of the seven sages, and broke the seal guarding
Ganon. A boy heard the final sage's plea, and took the sword of
his uncle, and the legendary weapons once spread across Hyrule,
and used them to rescue the young Princess. He was considered a
legend to all that met him, and disappeared after returning the
girl to her home. The boy's name was never heard again."
Link beamed at the line regarding him, he remembered that, and remembered how this quest of his had begun, being asked to rescue the two oracles, and to find the third and release her from banishment. He put the book down, and used all his strength to lift the heavy oak bookcase from his legs. He slid out, putting the case down lightly. He stood, feeling the pain in his legs, and looked around, seeing no one, he searched around.
He heard a voice coming from above him. It stated: "The Library closes in five minutes, please take your books to the check out line, and proceed to the exit, thank you."
He looked around, trying to find where the voice had come from, and to find some people. He saw someone quickly scurry by, and he speedily followed them, asked how to leave, and was given directions. The two men had a long walk ahead of them, and Link decided to get information from this man.
"Sir, who governs this land?"
"The Mudoran Sovereignty, of course."
"Mudoran?"
"Yes, they came into power when they recovered one of the two legendary books, the Mudoran Scrolls."
"You mean the 'Book of Mudora?'"
"No one calls it that, it is really just a collection of pages now."
"Tell me where to find it."
"It is held in the caslte's private library, which we are in now, if you want to find it, it is in the very back, but be careful, the Library is filed with monsters once the sun goes down. That is why the Library closes at different times every day."
"Thank you." Willing his sword, shield, and the newest weapon he had acquired, the Orb of Secrets to him, they appeared on him in a great white light. He slowly began walking towards the back of the Library.
Not bothering to look behind him when then the sky darkened, the felt a slight twinge of pain, as if a needled were stuck into his neck, which in fact, is what happened to him. He came-to in a room, surrounded by royal soldiers, and outside the cell-like door, there were monsters that roamed the aisles.
"LET ME UP!" Link shouted, finding, to his astonishment, that he was tied down.
"You carry a sword, and are thereby considered dangerous."
"I'LL SHOW YOU DANGEROUS IF YOU DON'T LET ME GO!"
"Just try it."
Link closed his eyes, and lay his head down after several minutes of trying to escape. Having only succeeded in freeing his hands, he lay them lightly into the straps, making it look as it he were still down completely. He laced his fingers, and prayed to the goddesses, hoping they would hear his plea. The Orb of Secrets began glowing, and it filled Link with a strange feeling. It floated above him now, and within it's gleaming surface, he saw what this place would be.
He saw book cases burning, monsters attacking the innocents of this strange land, and the soldiers dead upon the ground. He wished it would not happen, and found himself outside the leather bonds that had held him down, and he stood, sword in hand again, shield on forearm, and the orb tucked into a satchel upon his belt. The book cases weren't lit by fire, and the peoples were in their beds, sleeping in peace. He ran to the back of the Great Library.
He saw a corridor, well protected by the fierce beasts he saw upon the Orb's surface. He pulled out his sword, readying himself to experience the thrill of defeating those who stood in his way. His sword sliced through the many alien bodies around him, as if they did not exist. He looked behind him, they stood as they had earlier, not seeming to have noticed him. He held out the Orb, and said to it's shining reflective surface: "Why do my enemies not see me, and why do they not get injured when my sword is put to them?"
It reflected a new image, and it showed that of the monsters being merely non-existent.
"So they are only placed here by magick to fool the would-be thieves."
He walked to the door, and, finding a key on the ground by his feet, opened the large pad-lock, and it fell to the ground with a metallic 'click.' He pushed the large door open, and walked through it. He found himself in a dark room, with two beams of light forming circular like glowing spots on the ground. He unsheathed his sword, hearing the light hum as it was taken from its holster. He put the blade under one of the points of light, and reflected it around the room, until the light struck something.
It had been a mirror, and it reflected to several other mirrors, showing the room in full light. There was no floor, and on a pedestal around 20 meters away, the 'Mudoran Scrolls.' He used his foot to find a step ahead of him, finding none, he raised the Orb once more. He spoke the words he found on the small sheet of parchment he had found within his pocket. "Orb of Secrets, I beseech thee, As your surface swirls, and you mysteries conceal, reveal the solution, to my puzzle, and reveal one of the many secrets you hide to me!"
The surface of the orb appeared as a silver potion that the witch swirled with a large spoon. It floated into the air, and then stopped swirling, and he saw a bright, blinding light, and a bridge of transparent tiles appeared before him. He walked cautiously across them, testing each before he put his full weight on it. He walked cautiously across the tiles, appearing to be floating, suspended in the air by some strange unknown force, and on several tiles he saw runes, some depicting nothing but lines, but some he recognized, and they showed things such as fire, and hole, which obviously showed that stepping on such a tile would activate the trap.
He had forgotten to look where he stepped, and had accidentally tread upon a tile whose rune he did not know, and he suddenly knew. Spikes shot from the ground, and they stayed at the height of the tiles, as to give him the motivation not to fall off. As if he had! He stepped much more lightly now, and made it to the other side of the large chasm of traps and floating tiles.
He stepped aboard the seemingly lone platform, as guards went through the hologram monsters, and lined the other side of the chasm, as they couldn't see the tiles. They all held their bows with a perfect poise, and they quickly unsheathed one arrow each, and quickly placing them on the string, they pulled back to fire. Link grabbed hold of the parchment that remained of the Book of Mudora.
He felt no light, and did not experience a white-out, but felt the pain of the arrow tear into his flesh. The warm blood bubbled from the open wound in his shoulder, and he felt it run across his free hand, and as the blood fell there, the golden triangle appeared on the back of his hand. Link felt a strange strength course through him. He stood, and pulled out his shield, and he fought his way through the arrow barrage to be fiercely assaulted by the armed soldiers. He unsheathed his sword, and seeing no way out except by killing the guards.
He held his sword in his left hand, and blocked with his shield when he needed. He perried and attacked when he could, but was quickly surrounded by the six slightly wounded soldiers. Link didn't know why he had stayed in this world when he had grasped this magical item, and then he knew: First, the oracles had led him to the realm where Ganon was king, and, from there, he was transported by the calling power of the orb, and when he grasped the orb in that realm, he was transported here. He did not hold the orb, and it floated up above the dark chasm.
"Orb! To me!" And the glass bubble complied.
It sailed to him, and he stood, bathed in a soft light, and the guards were stunned. They continued their attack on Link, and he fought them off. He leapt from the fray by going up the stairs that led into the room, and he ran. Link took the orb from its pouch, and he held it before him. And he asked it a question, 'What was that healing light when you floated above me?' Link had gotten into the habit of personifying it.
It replied in a wispy voice, one that sounded much like the banished oracle of secrets, it said 'That was the magic of 'Sano' an ancient spell that was used to heal many an injured fighter.'
And Link felt the warmth of the orb as he comfortably entered another white-out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ This has been chapter 4, please review, if you're going to flame me, then e- mail me at Taleisin37@yahoo.com, or just go away.
