Chapter 4
Link blinked, strangely, he had no dreams since the strange encounter with him self, it had been a bit over a month since he had started traveling with Zelda, they got along fine, but they really didn't say much to each other. Yet Zelda had become a little more comfortable with Link, even though he was still quite blunt with her. They had stopped at a couple places and did some things that Link didn't really understand, but Zelda said they were very important, and Zelda said they would arrive in Shyloun soon.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Saria sighed as she starred off into space. "Link.what are doing now?" She thought, drifting off a bit.
"Saria!" Raru said, nearly yelling.
"Oh.I'm sorry." Saria said quietly.
"Well, we were saying that we think Zelda and Link may encounter their fate soon." Raru continued, sounding as solemn and serious as ever. All the sages agreed, expect Saria who stood up from her chair, seeming to oppose what Raru had just said.
"And Link doesn't know anything yet? Does he?!?" Saria asked, her voice ringing through the temple.
"Calm down Saria!" Raru said firmly.
"Why doesn't he know?" Saria asked yelling, ignoring what Raru had told her.
"Fate is not to be know, Saria." Impa said quietly, trying to calm her.
"But still.." Saria said looking sad, letting her self fall back into her chair. "It'll just be such a shock for him.."
"Well that's just the way life is, Saria." Nabrou said.
Saria sighed. "Sometimes, they're not very understanding." She thought, looking up at the high ceiling.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So we'll be in Shyloun soon eh Zelda?" Link asked stretching.
"Yes, will be there tomorrow." Zelda said starring off into the blue sky. Navi bobbed around, she really didn't have anything to do, and everything had been pretty much the same from day to day.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Link rubbed his eyes, and moaned, he threw the blankets over himself, again.
"Hey! Link! Don't go back to sleep!" Navi shouted bobbing around his head.
"Awww geez Navi! Why?" Link asked sleepily, peeking at her from under his covers.
"Where at Shyluon! Zelda already has the boat docked, and she waiting to leave!" Navi nearly screeched.
"Okay, okay, I'm getting up." Link said, jumping out of bed, grabbing his clothes, and then he just threw them on.
"You look sloppy Link." Navi hissed.
Link smoothed down his tunic a bit "Happy now?" he asked sarcasticly, as they headed over to Zelda. "'Morin." He said yawning.
"Oh, good morning." She said smiling a little, Link and Navi looked surprised to see her smile. "So are you ready?" She asked as she began to walk off the boat.
"Yeah, as ready as I'm gonna be." Link said, following her off the boat.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Saria sighed, and rolled over, so that she was facing the ceiling. She hadn't tried to contact Link, the sages said she couldn't unless they said she could. She was really worried about him, she didn't see why he shouldn't get any caution of what was ahead of him.
"Saria! Saria!" A little girl's voice called from outside her house.
"Yes.?" Saria asked quietly.
"Can I come in?" She asked
"Sure.." Saria said barley audible to the girl.
The cheery little girl skipped into Saria's house. "You wanna play Saria?" Saria didn't answer her, the little girl could tell something was wrong. "Are you okay?" She asked, with childish concern.
"Yeah.fine.I just need to take a nap...so, I'll play with you when I get up, okay?" Saria asked turning to the little girl.
"Okay!" She said happily as she ran off. Saria smiled a little, and turned over, trying to sleep, hoping that she wouldn't be as sad when she woke up.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So this is the last temple we have to go to, right?" Link asked, pointing over to the temple in front of them, it had taken them all day to get to the temple, and the sun was beginning to set.
"Well I think so.no one said anything about going any where else." Zelda responded quietly.
"Good." Link said, putting his hands behind his head as he and Zelda walked up the large steps toward the stone temple. It looked a lot like the temple of time in Hyrule, it had large intricate stained glass windows, it had two gargoyles sitting out in front of the large wooden doors, Zelda pulled them open and entered quietly.
"Now, you have to be quiet and respectful Link!" Navi hissed into Link's ear.
"Yeah, yeah I know!" Link whispered back as he followed Zelda. There were a few priests and priestess walking around, praying a couple were chanting something, the ceiling was very high, Link learned his head back and looked at the detailed painting, it seemed to tell some kind of story, but Link didn't really know what it was. Zelda continued to walk, until see saw a priest that wasn't busy, she politely asked him where someone was, Link didn't catch this person's name. The priest gave her directions, Zelda thanked him, and told Link and Navi to follow her.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Zelda led Link to a room, behind what seemed to be the main room of the temple. She knocked on the door quietly, so she wouldn't disturb anyone. They heard a low male's voice telling them to enter. So Zelda slowly opened the door, so it wouldn't creak.
"Who is it?" The man asked once the closed the door, he was a tall man, he was wearing a long blue robe, with a decorative belt, he had very neat hair, and black eyes, that looked like they could see right through you.
"Well, I am Zelda of Hyrule, and this is Link, he is also from Hyrule, sir." Zelda said respectfully.
"Ah yes, I knew you'd get here soon." The man said, as he slowly got his old body out of his chair. "Well, I am Nearas Tathean, I have been a priest here for years, and you have come here for the protection of the trifoce right?"
"Yes." Zelda responded seriously.
"Well, I'll take it from you, and we'll seal it as best we can, for now why don't you go get some rest, ask one the priests to show to one of cabins outside, I hope it will be comfortable." The priest said.
"Thank-you sir." Zelda said, placing her hand on the doorknob, Navi hit Link's head. "Say thank-you!" she hissed, so the priest couldn't hear.
" Oh, umm Thanks." Link said following Zelda out the door.
"Your both welcome." He called after them. "I wonder how long the seal will for..how long will it be till it is gone again?" the priest thought to himself.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Link and Zelda were pretty tired, so the ate a little something, and went to sleep almost right after they had eaten. Navi fell asleep too. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Link woke up to Navi nagging him. "Whayda want Navi?" He asked sleepily. "Make it quick so I can go back to sleep."
"Link you can't go back to sleep! Zelda's panicking!" Navi nearly shrieked.
"Why?" Link asked. Just then Zelda burst into the cabin looking worried and almost frightened. "What is it Zelda?" He asked with a little concern, he had been around her for a month and he had never seen her like this.
"Link! The triforce is gone!" She almost yelled as she rushed up beside Link.
