My head hurt and I felt dizzy. I reached out for something I could hold
onto to steady myself and felt a slender hand take my own, which I could
hardly recognise as my own, for it was now much heavier. After lying on my
back for a while longer, I began to open my eyes, only to be blinded by a
bright white light that seemed, not only to be shone into my eyes, but to
be shone everywhere. I knew I wouldn't be able to see anything for a while,
but I kept my eyes open anyway. I could vaguely make out the silhouette of
someone, most probably the person holding my hand. It looked like a female,
but I didn't know.
"W. where.?" I tried to speak, but managed to utter one weak word.
"You're in the Temple of Light," a gentle voice replied, confirming my beliefs that they were female.
"Thank." I tried to speak again, but I felt too tired.
"Do you know who you are?" the female asked gently.
I strained my memory. I couldn't remember much. just pulling a sword from an altar and then being knocked out.
I tried to shake my head, "No."
I heard the female sigh in disappointment, "Your name is Link."
"Link." I repeated. The name sounded vaguely familiar.
"Link, do you remember what you came here for? Do you remember anyone? Anything?" the voice asked with concern.
I rubbed my eyes. The light was painfully bright, "The tree. is dead. I have to help. the sacred stones."
"You remember the sacred stones?" the female asked, with traces of hope detectable in her every syllable.
I nodded a little, but soon felt dizzy again, so I stopped, "Three of them. had to get them to the Temple of. Temple of."
A few tears of anguish ran down my cheeks. I couldn't remember the name of the Temple. or many other things for that matter.
"The Temple of Time," the voice finished, sounding a little happy.
Suddenly, I felt one of the barricades in my mind go down and memories of different people flooded my thoughts, "I remember people. Saria. Mido. Impa."
"Do you remember Princess Zelda?" the voice suddenly asked.
I shook my head, "Not that well."
"Oh," the voice replied, seeming disappointed.
I wondered why the person would be upset that I didn't remember the princess, but then waving the thought aside, I smiled, "Where's Navi?"
Through all the white light, I saw a small blue light rise, but then go down again.
I saw the figure stand up, "Link, we have to go our own ways now. You're going to return to the Temple of Time and you will meet someone there who will explain everything."
"Don't leave." I said, reaching out for her again.
"I'm sorry Link. I have to. And so must you. We can't seek refuge in here for long. We'll soon be found," the voice replied, sounding even more upset than before.
Slowly, I sat up, "Wait."
The female sat beside me and took my hand again, "I know you don't remember me, Link, but I have to say this."
"You can say anything to me. I can keep secrets," I replied with confidence.
"It isn't a secret sort of thing," the voice replied.
"Tell me," I told her.
"I know you don't remember me, but I have to tell you, I love you," the voice said.
My eyes were getting used to the brightness and I could see more than just silhouettes now. I could see a blurred image of her face as she carefully hugged me.
"Goodbye Link," she said to me.
"Will we meet again?" I asked.
She smiled, "Of course you will. I will guide you whenever you need help."
"I'll remember that," I said, smiling, "I want to thank you for helping me remember as much as I have."
"It's was good to know I helped," the voice replied.
"Bye," I said.
"Bye," the voice replied and I felt a warp surround me and take me away from the Temple of Light and away from the stranger that had helped me, "Thank you."
A/N: Well, if anyone couldn't figure out who the other person was, they ought to smash their head on a sharp rock until they die. Oh yeah. I might write another chapter to this. [the other person was Zelda btw]
