Chapter 3
The Prophecy
A day, long from now a girl will be born. She will be a princess of Hyrule, one of two. Flame hair, and flame in her heart. Tall and powerful she will be. And someone destined for all eternity. Daughter to one who saved the land once and a mother who contains a ruling power.
But, if she encounters a common that time does not effect, disaster may befall this land. Hair of orange, eyes of green, tunic of white; these are clues to the man to avoid. If the couple falls in love, the doom is greater. They will face a power unstoppable to someone human. Sages can not bring it down. Her father faced once and concurred; though a second time they will fail. When a darkness as this arises, one must face it head on. This battle must be faced the same, six must be united it they stand any change. Fighting your own no one wins.
The Six
The first of the six is the first princess of Hyrule. Hair of flame, resistance of plenty, strong in heart and in soul.
The second is common, time does not effect, and truth he speaks. Hair of orange, father no one knows. Mother of kind heart, and spirit is true.
The third is royal, as is her sister. Hair the hugh of water, sweet and kind at heart. Power lies within her that she may never know.
The fourth, of the forest, tree colored hair. Different life, waits for her. Nature at his will, laughter lies in him.
The fifth, true to herself, though not to her people. Light knows no command unless it be hers. Golden hair, shinning bright.
The sixth, true to the desert, its sand runs through his veins. Hair of silver, eyes of blue, who is pure of spirit.
Though there was no more. The bottom of the page was torn, and no more could be read. They sat in silence for a minute. "I'm confused…" Arwen stated.
"Simple, it means if a commoner and a princess got together than…Hyrule…would…neither do I." Jeff replied.
Vala sighed. "Pretty much this prophecy screams Arwen when it is talking about the princess. Mom was afraid for Hyrule when you and her were getting together. Plus I think she knew about your power of time… that could have swayed her a little. I think that we have better find these people they are talking about… must have something important to do with it." The three turned, and they're standing in the doorway, eyes closed, was Vala and Arwen's mother, Queen Zelda.
"Mom…" Arwen stood, "I think that we need you to explain all of this to us. What is it you were hiding me from? I need to do what I think is right! Please let me live my life. Or give me a good reason why I can't."
She stood in complete silence, thinking. "Arwen," She opened her eyes and looked at her daughter, "I just don't want anything to happen to you or our Kingdom. I knew about this since it was first told…"
"I would you know that?" Vala asked her, also standing up to join her sister.
"Because… I'm the one who prophecized it. I never thought that it would be one of my own daughters though. I wrote all of it down right there, what I saw in my mind. The picture wasn't as clear as I see Arwen right now, but I know that it was you, Arwen I saw." She answered.
"When did this all happen." Arwen questioned.
"When Link was locked away in the sacred realm, and I was hiding away as Sheik. That was long, long ago." She smiled. "I'm sorry that I was so mean to you Jeff. Though as long as you can not find the other three then I can not let you stay here with Arwen."
"What do you mean other three?" Vala asked.
"The other three chosen ones." Zelda answered her daughter.
"But there are six. And if I am one, and I suppose you think Jeff is another, than there should be four more… oh forgot… would make sense, Vala too right." Arwen said.
"Right. I know who they are when I see them… a gift I have that I can not tell you the origin of, I am sorry. Just you have to find them. Otherwise I am sure Hyrule will fall… even if Jeff does leave. I just have this feeling about it now... Go."
She turned to leave but before she could Arwen said, "Well, does that mean that Jeff doesn't have to leave?"
Zelda faced her daughter, and sighed. "I suppose if you feel it will help." Then she turned and disappeared down the hall.
"Wow…really never thought that my power of time would have to do with the downfall of Hyrule." Jeff said, not too much in shook but in wonder.
Arwen stopped thinking to herself then, "Wait… if Jeff has the power of Time, and the princess with the 'flame hair' has the power of Flame… as it sounds at least…and Mom thinks that that is me and Jeff…so…"
Vala finished her sentence, "Then you must have the power of Flame… but why would she know that and not you? It just doesn't make any…"
"Sense, I know. This is odd…then what about you? You are my sister, so you must have the power of…"
Vala was already looking at the book, "I don't know that one…it says, 'A power she may never know'…great that doesn't help us at all."
Jeff was staring at the two. "Alright, stop doing the weird twin thing…" He pulled the book over in front of him and started to read the prophecy on his own. There was silence for a minute and then, "Well the only clues that we have for the other ones are suddle like Arwen's 'hair of flame' their must be something in the rest…" He looked for a long while and again, "And for me, 'Time does not effect'. Then 'Nature at his will' that one is a little more flat out I must say. Wow, 'light knows no command unless it be hers' that ones the same as the last. And I think 'pure of spirit' is the clue in that one."
Arwen had been looking over his shoulder the whole time, "Ya, so the most that Vala gives into is, 'hair the hue of water', so my guess would be Water."
"Well how can we test these? To know if we really have them then, Jeff I think that you are the only one who can do ANYTHING with your power. So why don't you tell us something we could do…" Vala said lamely.
Jeff smiled, "I guess I could try, but I must say that I myself can only do it sometimes now. My mother banned me from it after we left this land. Though…" He paused thinking a minute then said, "but I don't think that she ever knew when we were here and I didn't tell her."
"Duh, it was my mother that told her and demanded that you be told to never use it. She didn't want anything to happen if you used it I suppose…she is odd sometimes." Arwen told him.
"So anyway the fact of the matter is I don't even know if I could do it. Maybe we should talk to…" Jeff was interrupted.
"No, I'm not talking to my mother, she wouldn't help us anyway. You heard what she sounded like didn't you Arwen?" Vala said.
"Ya, she isn't going to help us with this one. What are we going to do?" Arwen asked the other two.
"Why not go and find all of the other six? It may help us somehow." Vala suggested looking over at Jeff for his suggestion, but the boy was sitting there messing around looking at his hand.
Arwen raised an eyebrow, "What the heck are you doing over there?" She asked.
"Trying to gather power in my hand. I normally can always do that… no matter what. But the thing is that now… I can't even get a glimmer of my whitish power…" Jeff said a sad look coming over his face.
The Next Day
Arwen woke early as the others did, so that they may set out on there little journey around the kingdom. For Vala had went down late that night after she had copied all of the information from the book and asked her mother if they would all be found in Hyrule. She answered yes, but in a tone that said, doesn't bother me with this.
Arwen put on her tunic, pulled up her hair, and walked out of the room to meet the others down in the hall. It was still quiet around that castle that morning. Not even the workers were up yet. And it was surprising to her that even her handmaiden wasn't up yet to see her. Usually she came and woke her up every morning, but she supposed that she was up before this could even happen.
"Arwen. We thought that you would never get here. How late could you possibly sleep in? I can't believe you." Her sister said when she walked into the hall a while later.
"I got up at the time that I was supposed too. No one except us is even up yet!" Arwen complained. She wasn't the morning person.
"Ya, while Jeff and me have been up for nearly an hour."
"Let's just go you two. Don't we have to meet…" Jeff said trying to stop the two.
"Lee, yes we do. He felt like coming along." Arwen said and walked out of the door in front of the others.
Vala shrugged and her and Jeff followed her sister out of the door.
When they walked out into the field Lee was already standing there waiting for them. "What took you guys so long? I thought that you had ditched me or something." Lee said with a smile.
Arwen returned the smile and walked up to him, "I'm sorry." She gave him a kiss. "I slept in again. You know me."
He returned her kiss and replied, "That's okay. Let's go now."
"Where are we going to head first? We have a lot of area to cover you know." Jeff said to the others.
Vala thought for a moment, "Well, I think that we should go to the Kokiri Forest first… since it is a forest. Would make sense for nature to be there right?"
"Makes sense to me." Jeff replied and started to walk that way. The others walked with him, talking queitly.
They reached the path into the forest after a short while. They walked in and the first thing they saw was tree houses all over the place. "I forgot how this looked…" Arwen said to the others.
"So did I. And we came here all the time too…why? Do you happen to remember Arwen?" Jeff asked the red head behind him.
"Um…" She thought for a moment. "No, not for the life of me can I remember that." Vala lead them father in, with Arwen still deep in thought.
A little boy walked up to them, "What is it you are doing here? You are not Kokiri." He asked them.
"We are just exploring a little of the Kingdom. Where is your—" But at this Jeff was elbowed sharply in the ribs by Arwen.
Then she turned and whispered in his ear, "They don't grow up you doof! This is as old as the EVER get." Then Arwen turned to the Kokiri, "Sorry about him. He hasn't been here in a while."
By the look on the little ones face he could tell what Jeff had ment to say, but replied to Arwen anyway, "Well, he should know this by now. But all is forgiven." And with that he walked away from the group.
Around were more of the little people, doing their own thing. It was kind of odd seeing all of them doing everyday adult tasks. But, Arwen was used to it by now so she said nothing.
"So then how do we start to do this? Do we go around looking for people with green hair?" Lee asked the others.
"To tell you the truth, all of the Kokiri have green hair… great this should be fun." Arwen replied.
"Maybe we should look for someone's tree house that is a little different. That may be a clue." Vala suggested.
"Or we could just find some weird Kokiri living there." Jeff said causing the others to laugh.
The four walked around the village trying to spot an odd house of some type. Though with no prevail. It seemed that every house was just about the same.
"Hey, whats that path over there lead too?" Arwen asked spying it out of the cornor of her eye.
"I'm not sure…why don't we go and check it out?" Jeff suggested, so together they walked down the small path that led even deeper into the woods.
After a while of walking Lee said, "So do any of you know how far this path goes because we have been walking forever."
"No, but it can't be too much father. I think I see a light down that way." Vala said as she pointed to the bright light that could just be seen at the thought end of the path.
When they reached the end of the path they came upon a clearing in which stood a tree house on the one side. They noticed that it was a little bigger than the ones in the main part of the village.
"Do you think we should check it out?" Arwen asked.
"Why not? It is different." Jeff pointed out. They stood there talking for a while, and before long the person inside the house noticed them there and walked out.
"What do you four want?" The boy asked. He looked as if he was about Arwen or Vala's age. With a mess of grass green hair, and a green Kokiri tunic. Though he did not look as if he was Kokiri, he was too tall and lanky. At the back of his head there was the smallest ponytail. On his hands he wore worn gauntlets and a pair of Kokiri Boots as the others wore.
Arwen was surprised by the sound of his voice, "What!? Who is that! We were just um…well…" She didn't know what to say.
"What Arwen here is trying to—" Lee didn't get to finish for he interupted.
"What! You mean that this is Arwen?" He said pointing to Arwen.
"Of course, who else would I be." Arwen replied.
"Oh my!" He got down on his knees and said, "I'm so sorry that I didn't introduce myself, my name is Thorin, Thorn for short. I never knew my last name, so just call me Thorn. I am honored to meet you your majesty." He said bowing his head a kissing her hand.
By then Arwen's face had turned almost the red of her hair. "No! I hate it when people do this! No, no, no!" She said shaking her hand from his. "I'm sorry if you didn't know, but it's just not me!"
Lee was laughing, "Thorn, don't mind her. She normally doesn't even admit that she is royalty, let alone be treated as such. Let me tell you the real reason we're here… and it seems that you fit the person we're looking for too." Lee then started to tell him of the prophecy.
