The Legend of Zelda: Twin Swords
Chapter 6 – A Long Forgotten Love

One week after chapter 5

Rain and lighting pounded the gray skies while thousands of men stood on a hill waiting for orders from their leader. A lone horseman rode to the very front next to a soldier dressed in gold armor. "The enemy is coming from the direction you predicted, my lord. Please, let me send the F squad to greet them." Joseph smirked and turned with his red cape in the wind. "Fine, I want them dead by sun down though. We need to plan the campaign to move to the north next."
Joseph passed the horseman and started to go down the rows of soldiers. He stopped and looked at one whimpering among the crowd. Joseph rushed to the man and pushed his helm visor up. A young man sniffed and narrowed his eyes. "Tears." Joseph wiped the boy's cheek and smiled. "Good, you will die with bravery then." Joseph chuckled and slowly trotted off to the back. He stopped and saw flames coming from the direction to the north. "The demon seed is spreading. Ganondorf picked a fine recipient of his power. A very good one." Joseph quickly turned his head back and walked back to the end of the crowds.

Hiro snapped his eyes open and felt rain falling all around him. He looked down seeing the demon blade next to him covered in gore and blood. He jumped in fright and backed up from it. He shook the water from his face and looked around seeing a burned town. "Ashes...nothing but ashes." Hiro quickly grabbed the blade and put it away. He stood up straight and tried to remember back before he split up with Link. "He was heading north looking for Saria." Hiro quickly turned back seeing a soldier with a great sword slowly walking in the rain.
Hiro turned his whole body towards the man and saw him groaning in pain. Blood was dropping from his armor and the smell of burning flesh seemed to surround his stench. "You jackal! My family! My kingdom!" The man dropped to the ground and dropped his blade. Hiro started to walk towards him but his blood splattered all over his face. Hiro looked up seeing nothing in the rain but he felt something in his hand. "Wait." He opened his palms and dropped his blade. "What the hell is going on?" Hiro fell to the ground and started to scoot away from the blade as it lay there.
"I don't have control over it." Hiro started to focus his energy but it seemed to pulsate in the blade only. "What is wrong with it?" Hiro quickly grabbed it once again and felt the power he felt before in his body. "Damn it. The power was transferred to the sword when I unleashed it." Hiro waved the blade and saw a dark shadow follow it. "It contains his soul." Sage tightened his grip and felt a huge burst of energy in his body. A display of lights was shown and Hiro dropped to one knee. He put the blade up and looked up to the exit of the town. "I can't control. Not just yet. I need to find Link first."

Link woke up and felt Saria's warm body against his. He looked outside of a trunk and saw the mist of rain surrounding the two. "Saria." Link brushed the small bangs from her face and saw her move in her sleep with a smile. He looked at her body and saw it slowly aging with time. "She's dying." Link looked up seeing the rain mist. "I told you, you wouldn't be able to save her. She's dying!" Link clasped his hands over his ears and started to have flashbacks.

"Stay the hell away from her!" Link cut the man holding Saria down and grabbed her limp body before she fell to the ground. "I'm so sorry!" Link shook her but she didn't answer. "It's okay, fool. I've drugged her for right now. She's not going to be awake for some time." Link slowly let Saria down and saw a man dressed in green armor and a hat just like his. "We wanted to keep her safe and use her to lead one of my regiments, but it seems as if you were one chasing her down." Link growled and heard the sound of thunder in the air.
A strange blue light surrounded the blade and then quickly charged up his left arm. The man smirked and saw the sword. "Of good. Nice choice. I would have gotten the evil one but you can't really control your thoughts!" Link growled and saw him walking towards the two with a smile and his hands up. "I mean no harm. My name is Sage. I only wish for her to join my rangers and kill off both armies." Link stepped over her and guarded with his stance. "She's not going to be with you. She's coming with me."
Sage laughed a bit and turned his head. "And then what? Live happily ever after?" Sage put his palm out and grabbed the blade. Link tried to move it but he was stunned by something. "You don't seem to get it! Saria is trying to live! She's dying." Link head butted him and readied his blade. Sage recovered and looked at him. "I told you, you wouldn't be able to save her. She's dying! Since the tree's dead now all of the little children of the forest are aging. She might not die soon but she feels the pain humans feel. You want her to suffer?" Link tried to read his wordings but they made no since to him. Sage calmed himself and looked at him. "Then what? You love her?"
Link lowered his blade and looked her. He turned his head back slowly and saw Sage pull his sword. "I loved her ever since I was young. To be with her regardless of my actions." Sage smiled and rushed at him. Link blocked the first blow but felt a hard sting in his side. "You don't seem to know what love is." Link dropped to the ground and started to scream in pain. Sage put away his sword and dagger and started to walk towards Saria. "She's beautiful but you don't have a future with her." Link yelled and his eyes slowly rolled to the back of his head.

Present

"Link?" Saria opened her eyes and saw his tunic off and a bandage around his chest. "Link!" She started to look at his body but Link ignored her actions and only looked at her eyes. "Saria, I love you." Saria looked back at him and felt an attraction to him too. She slowly moved in to his face and pinned him to the floor. "I love you too."

Hiro stopped his movements in the forest and saw a woman with a cloak staring at him. He pulled his sword but the same wrath in the sword stopped from coming out. Hiro saw the woman moving I the rain but the rain didn't even touch her. "Hiro." Hiro put away his sword and felt a quick cold shiver. "Zelda?" Zelda nodded and smiled. "You seem to know me even with a cloak on." The rain broke through the barrier and rain poured down her cloak. "Come with me.

End of Chapter 6

Sorry about the long wait, school and stuff.
