Chapter 3: It still Lives
"I see, so why bring me here? What about my friends?" Misty asked.
"You were the only one who knows what happened. So it was only necessary," he said.
"Yeah? Well do you mind telling me what happened?" Misty asked. The sage of light nods in reply.
"Yes I will.... a few months ago.... after you defeated Hellingina and sealed her away...." He began. Misty sighed and sat down. She knew that this would be a long story.
"You see, Ganondorf was also sealed away in that same realm as Hellingina. But what you didn't know was that Hellingina is Ganondorf's wife. But Ganondorf was sealed long before she was. So when she was sent to the realm of darkness she met up with her husband. They were planning on escaping and seeking revenge. Though the Hero of Time who sealed Ganondorf disappeared,"
"So now they are after me, right?" Misty asked.
"You are the heir of one of the goddess along with Rasheed. But they seem to be interested in you instead," he said.
"And the reason?" she asked.
"Because of the great power that lies within you. You posses one of the legendary demon goddess," he said.
"Oh joy...." She muttered.
"Anyway...a month ago the spiritual stones disappeared. But that is because of a young man. Named Hattori, and he is the son of Ganondorf and Hellingina. He was about to destroy the spiritual stones so that the Hero of Time wont be able to take the master sword. But the only way to get them back is if you go and search for them. But you must also awaken the sages so that they can aid you on your quest," he said.
"So this Hattori guy...he's on their side right? Mind telling me what he looks like?" Misty asked.
"Why do you ask?" he asked.
"Well it will help me out and watch out for him," she said.
"I don't know. He may be on the side of good. Or bad. But all we know is that he has black hair that covers his red eyes. He wears all black and blue. But you can say he looks like a ninja. But not an ordinary ninja...he is from Gerundo Fortress. And one of the assassins there. You cannot see his whole facial expression. But you can only see his eyes," he said.
"Well that narrows it down a lot," she said sarcastically.
"Now go. And awaken the sages and find the spiritual stones," he said. A bright light formed around her and she was teleported back to the temple of time. She turned and saw a large ring with symbols on the back wall. In front of it stood the master sword. On of the symbols lit up. And that symbol stood for the Sage of Light. Misty turned and walked out of that chamber.
"Misty! Where did you go?" Rasheed asked.
"Long story. Now lets go," she said. But Rasheed placing his hand on her shoulder stopped her.
"Don't walk out on me," he said. "Tell me what is going on."
"I told you, it's nothing to big. Don't worry about it," she said.
'Well I am worried. Worried about you. As soon as we got in the temple of time, you have been acting so strange lately," he said.
"Hey Misty, Rasheed!" Saya said. Following her was Mikagami.
"Hey guys," misty said. Though Rasheed didn't say anything. He still had his hand on her shoulder. Looking at her with concerned eyes.
"So how did it go?" Mikagami said.
"Well we have to find the sages and re awaken them. And also find the spiritual stones," she said.
"Ok then. Lets go," Saya said.
"Yeah but where?" Mikagami said.
"The Forest," she said. Saya and Mikagami looked at her with wondering eyes.
"How do you know?" Saya asked.
"Just trust me," she said.
"Ok! So lets go a hike!" Saya said. And they were teleported to the field.
"Lets go!" Saya said. Everyone just sweat dropped and laughed a bit.
"Very energetic today," Mikagami muttered. He then walked ahead of them leaving Misty and Rasheed in the back. Misty started to walk but Rasheed cut in front of her.
"Hey Saya, Mikagami you two go ahead of us. I need to talk to Misty," Rasheed said. Saya and Mikagami nods and continued to walk to the forest entrance. Rasheed grabbed Misty by the hand and walked in the other direction.
"Rasheed, I told you there is nothing to talk about!" Misty said.
"Well I don't believe you," he said. He then led her to Lake Hylia. He let go of her and faced her. Misty had her back pressed against the rock wall.
"Please, Misty...tell me what's wrong," he said. Misty had her head turned to the side.
"There's nothing to talk about...." Rasheed sighed and put his hands on both her shoulders.
"You must tell me. Because if it is something dangerous and will cost you your life then you must tell me now. And I will protect you," he said. Misty sighed and looked at him. She placed her hand on his right arm and pushed it off her shoulder.
"I can't tell you...not now that is," Misty then tried to move away but Rasheed pinned her to the wall.
"We are not going to leave until you tell me what is going on," he said.
"But Rasheed...." She said but was cut off. His face close to hers and his eyes looked deep into her heart.
"I am not going to let you go," he said and he kissed her on the lips. It lasted for quite a while but Misty couldn't do anything about. He then pulled away and whispered in her ear.
"Because I love you.... and I promise that I will protect you," He then hugged her. Misty looked over his shoulder and sighed.
"If you must know.... I am the next target...Hellingina and Ganondorf are coming back and are wanting to kill me...." Rasheed looked at her.
"What?"
"They are going to be released and if we don't find the sages in time we will be doomed," she said. Rasheed looked at her.
"But...how...so that's why we have to find the spiritual stones and the sages," Rasheed said.
"Yes.... well now that I told you, lets go to the forest," Misty said.
"Now hold on...tell me everything that the one sage told you," Rasheed said.
"That's all I can tell you...we have to go to the forest now," she said and she started to walk towards the entrance to the forest. Rasheed shook his head and followed.
".... Should I really tell him about Hattori? No...this is my fight.... I don't want to bring my friends into this..." she thought. She then sighed and thought again.
"But, I don't want to do this to Rasheed. Holding so many secrets. Especially that would cost me my life," They crossed the bridge and were in the Lost Woods. Rasheed stood next to Misty and looked at her.
"Look...I know I have been asking so many questions. But I only want to make sure you aren't going to leave me," Rasheed said.
"Don't worry.... I'm not going to leave you," she said softly. And she started to head towards the sacred meadow. There lied the Forest Temple. Where they will find the Sage of Forest. At the Sacred Meadow they saw that it was deserted. No signs of deku shrubs or anything. Hyrule was turning into a deserted kingdom.
"As I feared... Ganondorf and Hellingina are coming. And soon," Misty said.
"Then we better hurry and get to the temple," Rasheed said. They dashed through the maze, and ran up the staircase. There they were in the open, and at the entrance to the temple. But where's Saya and Mikagami?
"I see, so why bring me here? What about my friends?" Misty asked.
"You were the only one who knows what happened. So it was only necessary," he said.
"Yeah? Well do you mind telling me what happened?" Misty asked. The sage of light nods in reply.
