Chapter 2
My name is Link and I'm the Hero of Time. Not the best role to be in, but it's my destiny and you should know, you cannot change destiny. Now my life just got harder. I've been through many trials, but this is one odd turn. This pendant around my neck refuses to come off. My little sister, Aryll, has tried many times to remove it to no avail. Then there are the dreams I've been receiving. Goddesses, is this another trial?
"Big brother, do you think that maybe this is that other sword's fault?" the young girl asked.
I merely shook my head. "I don't think so little sister. This Pendant doesn't emit the same cursed power as that other blade," I paused.
I could still remember the events. From the beginning to the end, all of the fights just to return tranquility to Hyrule. I wonder what happened after I left…
(A/N: Anyone who remembers the end of Link's arcade mode in Soul Caliber 2 will know what the heck I'm talking about, if not… BUY THE FREAKING GAME!)
"Are you sure? Miss Tetra said never underestimate anything or it just might come back to bite you."
"Has Saria and Malon been telling you stories again?"
"…. No…."
"…"
"Okay, maybe one or two but that's all!"
I smiled at my younger sibling. She was really was innocent. The tides of war and darkness haven't affected her.
"Brother, you look ill. Are you alright? You keep waking up at night."
I woke from my train of thought and look at her.
We were outside, along with Epona, and the sun played across her face as she stood next to me.
"I'm alright," I lied. I smiled to reassure her.
It worked.
"Okay," she grinned, "Can I come with you to see Zelda?"
"That's Princess Zelda to you," I teased.
She pouted before saying, "She said that I could just call her Zelda."
I sighed in mock defeat.
I picked her up and mounted her onto Epona. Aryll was giggling.
I mounted my stead after her. Then the false sense of happiness I wove around myself for a span of a few minutes fell to pieces as the pendant gently hit my chest
The chestnut horse whined, sensing my unease, and Aryll stop laughing.
"Big brother…?"
"I'm okay…. Just thinking that's all."
Aryll didn't say anything after that. Perhaps that was for the best, we slowly went to Hyrule Castle.
I have had a lot of different dreams but never like these I've been receiving lately. Both were irrelevant but somehow….
There was a trait of the dreams. The setting was nothing like Hyrule, yet, it seems very familiar to me.The first dream was in Ruins. There were statues of Bird people and fallen columns, everywhere you look there were bones, but in a way it was calming, like you know that you will be safe there. (A/N: Cookie for guessing where this dream takes place) Then a sound came, like someone wearing armor walking along a stone hall sort of sound. Then I saw the figure. She, I just knew that she was a she, walked by. I couldn't see her and that irritated me a lot. The reason was because I usually woke up then and there.
The other one was in a jungle. There were occasionally large red flowers, were you could hide in and branching paths with rivers crisscrossing the many paths. In the distance there was a giant tower that seemed to be as old as the Forest Temple. It was covered in vines and was falling apart. (A/N: Guess where this one takes place. He he)
Behind the birds singing and the gurgling of the rivers, you could hear people laughing, a young boy, two girls and the sound of three older voices. Then something blue would run by and stop in and out of the shadows. I could just barely see his face…
Then… I wake up.
"Big brother… Your really quiet,"
"I'm always quiet,"
"No, like, really, REALLY quiet…"
"Hey, what is up with you?" a new voice popped up.
"Hello, Navi," I said to the glowing fairy, "Nothing, I'm just thinking that's all,"
"Riiight… Listen, I've known you for a long time. And, by Goddesses, you are not 'okay'"
I remained silent. I had made my guardian fairy look after my little sister during my journeys/quests.
"Link…"
I looked up. Epona had stopped and Zelda, Saria and Tetra were standing in front of me.
"Tetra, Saria," I was shocked at them being there.
Normally Tetra was out at sea and I barely see her anymore, and Saria was bound to Kokiri Forest.
"Aunt Saria! Miss Tetra! I'm so glad to see you again!" Ayrll shouted before nimbly jumping off my mount.
Hmm? In case your curious, my little sister often refers to Saria as 'Aunt' I don't know why, although I assume that she came up with it.
"Hey, kid." Tetra said as my sibling hugged her.
"Do you have anything for me?" The young girl asked.
"No," the sun-kissed pirate said.
(A/N: Yes, I am aware that Tetra and Zelda are the same person but since I'm putting different games into one fic I'll make them 2 different people.)
My sister whimpered, and Saria said, "Here, some thing from the Kokiri since the Pirates are acting greedy again,"
I watched the whole scene play out as I dismounted.
After that, Aryll had received a necklace with a shiny shell as a present from Tetra and a flower from Saria.
"Link, you don't look so good," Zelda said.
"Yeah, Link, Last time I checked your hair wasn't that wild," Tetra, added.
"Are you ill?" the kokiri asked.
I shook my head, before saying, "I'm fine. I really am!"
Zelda took several steps and was immediately in front of me. The look she was giving me was slightly unnerving.
"Just tell us,"
I sighed in defeat.
"It's nothing, really. You don't have to worry about me."
They could tell it was a lie. But I can't tell them, not now…
Link: What a dumb ending.
NV: I know…
Link: So?
NV: Thanks to the 3 people who reviewed this. Sadly I only remember one reviewer.
