Chapter 4: To the Temple of Faith! Pt. 2
The girl did look like Malon…yet…she did not. Her hair was short and long (if you've seen Azumi Kiribayashi's hair…it's somewhat like that) and it flowed nicely, giving her an elegant look. The radiant red hair did not help much either. Or was it brown? From the bright light glowing around this angel, Link could not tell. Her bright eyes dazzled brightly, making Link even more blind. Finally, as Link adjusted a little bit, he noticed that both eyes were pearly white. After a few moments she shook her head in an answer to no.
"You aren't Malon?!"
The girl smiled weakly.
Link stood there, dumbstruck. He quickly regained himself and asked, "If you aren't…Malon…who are you!?"
As she opened her mouth to speak, a dark voice boomed over them, "Tsk tsk tsk…the Sage of Faith…hmm…I would have expected better from you, Shinra."
The Sage of Faith, also known as Shinra, turned her head upwards, her expression full of spite and hatred. She turned back to Link and gave a wry smile. She looked concentrated for a while before Link could hear her talking to him. Telepathically.
"My name is Shinra, Hero of Time. You can call me Shinra or Faith. That voice you have just heard is known as Phantom. He is one of the few who lock Sages into their own temples…now, you may wonder why he told me he expected more from me…" she paused, wondering what else she would tell him, "…when I was younger…I used to be able to see…"
Link cut her off, "Aren't you still able to see!?"
"Calm down, little one…I shall get to your questions soon. Now, as I was saying, I was a fool of a duke before. I took no heed in my mother's teachings and went straight into his trap. He told me that he would be able to power my Sage powers triple the times of what it currently was if I would do him a favor. Quickly, blinded by my greed of power, I agreed. He told me to sign a contract and I did…what I didn't know that the contract contained the words that if someone would not come and save me within a thousand years…he would be able to become the Sage of Faith, have my powers, destroy me…and many other horrifying things. It also said that I would not be able to talk about this at all…if I did say a peep about this, I would face a consequence…" she gestured to her pearly white eyes, "I was blinded when I had tried to tell my mother about it…she had tried to get rid of this before, but it was to strong…the curse I mean. Instead of getting rid of it…she was banished from Calinavania and from current rumors Phantom has fed me…she is dead." Shinra paused again, "My time of talking to you is almost up…I hope what I have just told you has answered some of your questions. Now, my temple is full of riddles and…" Shinra was cut off.
"To much information, Shinra…."
She growled slightly and continued, "You may also need this…"
Link saw a bright light emit from his hands and he looked down curiously.
"It is the Flute of Faith. This instrument is needed on some levels…so…I wish you good luck, Hero of Time. Once you free me…shall we meet again."
"Your time is up, Shinra…" the death-like voice hissed.
Shinra once more turned her head upwards and she gestured something that seemed like she was telling him "Shut up." Phantom let out a laugh at this and in a quick movement, Shinra was gone.
Link stared at the flute in his hands and a weak smile played upon his lips. He started to walk forward, waiting for evil to pop out at him. Shinra had just told him that the Temple of Faith was full of riddles…would he have to solve them? What would happen if he did? Would a monster appear and he would have to slay it? Many more questions were popping up in his head and his thirst for the answers were not yet quenched. He quickly marched in, ready to slay the evil before him. He was ready to come back to Malon as a Hero in her eyes…he was completely ready…ready to win her heart.

The fiery red head walked across the pasture, humming Epona no Uta. She played with a strand of her crimson hair, her heart shattered. She still couldn't get over the fact that Link had left her so easily…she wandered towards a bucket of water, looking over her "ugly" reflection. Her once friendly smile turning into a angry frown and her eyebrows knit together furiously.
"Is it because I'm not blonde?" she asked the mirrored reflection, the tears nipping at the sides of her eyes, wanting to fall, "Is it because I smell like a pig?" Unfortunately, she was currently losing the battle against the tears…one by one they slowly fell, "What is it that he doesn't like about me!?" she wiped several tears away, "I-I-I mean…of course I'm not as beautiful as Zelda…she's prettier then me by a landslide…" she stopped, the water rippling, causing her reflection to blur.
"Malon! I need you to take the milk to Hyrule Market. Can you do that for me?" Talon asked, coming close to his sobbing daughter.
"Of course," she answered, wiping several tears away. Her angry expression turned into a feigned happy one and she turned towards him, "I'll take Keira…I'll be---"
Talon cut her off, "I already hitched her, sugar dumplings."
"Alright. Well, I'll see you later." Malon said, starting to jog towards Keira.
"See ya!"
As soon as that was said, Malon was off towards Hyrule Market.
-- Back to Link, Hero of Time!!! --
Link strode forward before he stopped. In front of him was an engraved wall…and no way out except for the way he had entered. He stepped closer and wiped dust off of the tablet. It was written in an old Hylian language in which Link could not understand, but finally, he could. (A/N: Guess he's slow. O_o;) He whispered the words to himself, making the tablet glow a bright cerulean. He watched quietly, tapping his foot patiently. Soon, the tablet disappeared and a yelp was heard from Link as he plunged downward to who-knows-where.
"AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" screeched Link, thinking he was gonna crack his head open because of this.
"Hello, Hero of Time…" a voice hissed.
Slowly, Link looked up only to see the ugliest thing he had ever seen. Soon he screamed bloody murder, "AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!"
