Chapter 3: Friend of Foe With his heart pounding, head spinning in wonder, and body filled with pain all Link could do was look up in hopes that his savoir was a friend. Links head was filled with millions of questions of his mysterious savoir but something about the two lights circling about the shadowy figure comforted Link. The figure was clothed in a scarecrow like costume and as Link look up towards the face he could see................ THE SKULL KID (person who wore Majora's Mask)!!! It was his old friend and once adversary from Termia (the land in which Link found out about Majora's Mask. Suddenly Link's mind snapped back into his warrior self and with a plan already thought out, Link seized the opportunity caused by the confusion of Skull Kid's arrival. Link popped up by Skull Kid and suddenly cast the Nayru's Love spell protecting him and Skull Kid from all harm for a short while. After Link calmly pulled out his Ocarina and started playing the Preluòe Of Light (melody that brings them to the Temple Of Time). That same moment Link was watching Ganondorf very carefully but all Ganondorf did was smile. Just a moment before Link and Skull Kid were going to teleport "Run boy run all your doing is delaying the worst. HA HA HA HA HA." The next moment Link and Skull Kid were in the Temple Of Time. As they made their way to Princess Zelda Link was filled with questions for his old friend.

Introductions were made around and when all greetings were done, Skull Kid explained the reason why he was in Hyrule was that Tatl (Links fairy in the battle against Majora) and Tael (Tatl's brother the purple fairy) has sense that Link was in trouble. Along the way Link also update Skull Kid on the situation that was at hand with all Link had knowledge of but this didn't seem to trouble Skull Kid one bit, actually he was just grinning and seem to treat this like a little adventure. "Link don't worry if you beat him you'll do it again and remember you saved Termia and defeated Majora, I mean your probably the most powerful boy in the world if anyone can do it's you." This comforted Link a lot and Link just smiled back in thanks that his friend would put so much trust in him.

When they reached Zelda they were taken back by how much Zelda knew. She took out an old scroll and started to read it. "A LONG TIME AGO... Before Life began, before the world had form, three golden Goddesses descended upon the chaotic land of Hyrule. They were Din, the goddess of Power, Nayru, the goddess of Wisdom, and Farore, the goddess of Courage. Din, with her strong flaming arms, cultivated the land to create the earth. Nayru poured her wisdom onto the earth to give the spirit of law to the world. Farores rich soul created all life forms who would uphold the law. These three great Goddesses returned to the heavens, leaving the golden sacred Triforce. Since then, the Triforce has become the basis for Hyrule's Providence. Where the Triforce stood became sacred land. Then came Atohate, the goddess of Darkness. Atohate corrupted life with her dark heart spreading evil throughout the world. Banished by Din, Nayru, and Farores to the Sacred Realm for what she had done. Leaving the dark Triforce, Atohate returned to the darkness from which she created." Zelda rolled up the scroll and placed it back in the cabinet in which she had found it in. "It is said that the dark Triforce's power is equal to that of all the other three's power combined." Zelda spoke as she watched the faces of the two companions Link and Skull Kid turn to shock.

"YOUR SAYING THAT THERE'S NOWAY WE CAN WIN!!!" the Skull Kid lashed out at the princess in a voice that seemed desperate.

"Calm down there's always a way just that this one is harder to find," Link replied softly and turned to a state of deep thought.

Finally Zelda spoke up "We defeat him the same way we did last time but we this time we will have to also find a way to take that dark Triforce away from him, Link you must go and take the Master Sword, save us again Link. please." With that Link gave a nod and was off. No sooner was he stopped dead in his tracks by the arrival of Impa (Zelda's sworn protector).

"Princess I suggest that you make plans before taking off."

"She's right you guys will have to survive for seven years before I can be of any help to you," Link said as he turned towards Skull Kid. "Thanks for all your help but Hyrule is my home not yours, I can't ask more of you."

"Hey you saved my home and I give you my word that I will do the same," Skull Kid replied with a smirk on his face. "I will head back to Termia and train while I wait."

"Ok we will meet in the Temple Of Time seven years from now, good luck," Link agreed and was off. Suddenly a guard ran up to them "Princess a powerful mage is attacking us you must leave immediately."

With that they were off on their quest, each with their own path to walk and each with their own purpose that only they can fulfil in this quest. Each with their own destiny.
