ONE LIFE'S POWER

CHAPTER 2: Old Enemies
Mi~Chin saw her rival, the ogre Gron, at the tower as well. They didn't mind each other though. They both wanted to find the truths of their lives. When they reached the top, Gron remembered a spot where an alter used to be. They dropped the crystals in that spot. A light appeared and they suddenly knew where to go.
Zelda, Paul, the King, and Impa were all listening to the witch doctor. "I don't understand, I healed the arrow wound, but he's sweating and won't wake up." In his dream, Link saw Ganon. They were sitting in a field. "So, do you understand this?" Ganon asked.
"No."
"I need to find a magic book of mine."
"I need to find a journal of mine."
"I think its from another Ganon."
"I think the same about mine."
"I'll find it, you find yours, then we'll meet again."
"Where?"
"I dunno"
Link woke up. Everyone stared at him. "Link?" asked Zelda.
"Where is Kakariko Village?" Link asked.
"What?" said the King.
"Kakariko Village."
"I think that is the old name of Ruto," said Paul. Zelda nodded. Link grabbed his sword, shield and pouch, and started to leave. Only Zelda followed him.
Link had been digging at the edge of Ruto for hours in silence before he came up with a book in a bag. He smiled. "Link, what's happening? Why are you acting like this?" Zelda asked. "I started to remember... my lives. And I need to understand my existence, all Links had no parents."
"Link, what do you-"
"I heard telepathic beings talking about me, AND, I made a partnership with Ganon, he's going through what I am. We are going to figure this out."
"Link?! What is this!?" At that moment Zelda cared not for Paul, her father, or Hyrule, or Ganon. She just wanted Link to stop. So she asked an unanswerable question. "Link, what about the Triforce?"
"What about the Triforce?" Link answered.
"Link, you have to guard the triforce."
"Someone else can."
Zelda ran off to the tree where she and Link had been talking about his parents. She sat, and she wanted to cry, but couldn't. She slept, and dreamed that Link shook Ganon's hand, and Ganon smashed his hand, then snapped his neck. Mi~Chin and Gron arrived at the boat to the island, where a man in robes started rowing them towards the island in the ocean. On the way they saw a Whale and an Elf in the water. The man in robes said, We have entered the island waters, that is the Wind fish. And a Link, a Link to a man's life." In Link's diary, he saw a holy alter on the Tower of Hera, somewhere in the mountains. The alter was never used, but the power of the two crystals of Hyrule would call gods. Link knew Ganon had stolen one of these, Zelda had another. He had to find Zelda. It had been six days before Link, Paul, and the King found Zelda, fasting in the woods. She kept saying very weakly, "Link." Link snapped the crystal from her bracelet without anyone seeing.
Mi~Chin and Gron arrived, and saw an encirclement of men in robes waiting. Gron seemed to fade away. From Gron's perspective, Mi~Chin faded away. Through both perspectives, the robed men spoke: "Mi~Chin/Gron, you have come a long way, now, the truth is only a test away...
"Zelda?" Paul said as Zelda's eyes fluttered open. Paul was bleeding, his clothes were torn.
"What's happened?" asked Zelda, "Where's Link?"
"Moblins are attacking, they seem scared, they keep saying Ganon abandoned them." Zelda seemed to suddenly understand. Link was looking for some god, he and Ganon, they've both been alive for lifetimes.... Then she heard it. Telepathically.
"I didn't think she was going to start."
"I did. She may be forced to the name 'Zelda,' but she deserves it."
"What about the Princesses before the first Zelda?"
"A Zelda wasn't needed then. But she was in the first Hyrulians."
"She was?"
"Yes, evolution was working against her, so it takes her longer than the others."
A third voice, "She's listening!" Then, silence.
Link and Ganon arrived at the Tower. It was in shambles, it was barely there. "We'll have to search for the alter." Ganon said. Link had already spotted it. The dropped the crystals onto it. Link felt a sudden heat wave, then, he had a vision of a man on a boat, at the bay. Saying nothing, he and Ganon started toward the bay. Ganon mentioned moblins may give them trouble. Link understood.
The King came rushing to Zelda's room when he heard she seemed to go mad and leave. Paul was waiting, he told the King that Link was gone too. The King seemed to faint. Link, Zelda, and Ganon were gone. A few days earlier, Paul had asked the King for permission to marry Zelda, the King had given his blessing. He wondered how Paul was taking this so lightly now. Then, he saw Paul with his knife at his hand. "Paul!" The King kicked the knife away, but he didn't see it go anywhere. Paul slumped over. The knife was in his chest, near his shoulder. The King called a healer. Everything was falling apart.
Mi~Chin and Gron were thrown into the ocean. Dead.
