Chapter Five—Morgana
Chapter Five
Link stared down at his small wound that was neatly being wrapped up in a gauze sheet. He was amazed on how a small wound could let out so much blood. He had to have lost almost a quarter of his blood from that small little wound. But there was something else about this wound that made him feel uncomfortable. He didn't feel any pain. When he cut it, he had felt nothing. It was almost as if his entire finger had been numbed.
The doctor finished wrapping the cut, "That was one, serious wound you got there," he said, "It took me forever to get it to stop bleeding," he took up a metal brace and placed it on Link's finger. Then he held the brace in place with a strip of white tape, "Make sure you don't open the gauze for at least three hours."
Link nodded, "Ok."
"And don't wet it during those hours. Come back and I'll take that gauze off along with the brace."
"Sure thing, doc," Link said, smiling, "I'm gonna head over to breakfast. Zelda's probably waiting for me there."
The doctor nodded, "Sure...go ahead. I'm not holding you back."
Link nodded too at the doctor and got up from the chair he had been sitting on. He smiled once more at the doctor before he opened up the door and walked out into the hallway. He saw a couple of guards walking by him, he smiled at them, sometimes saying hi, but he was pretty much in a rush to get to breakfast. He got to the dinning hall and saw only Zelda and one of the cooks from the kitchen staff. Zelda looked up at him and her face lit up.
"Good...you're finally back," she said. She turned to the cook, "Go and get it," the cook left and Zelda turned back to Link, "I wanted to wait until you got here so you would eat alone."
Link smiled, "Thanks, Zelda," he sat down next to her. He tapped his fingers on the table while clucking his tongue against the roof of his mouth, "You know what I think about this whole thing? The thing with my finger getting cut?"
Zelda cocked her head, "No...what do you think?"
Link shrugged, "I don't really know," he said, "I just feel like I knew this was going to happen...yet at the same time...I didn't."
Zelda nodded, "Same here...I feel as though this was meant to happen...but I don't know why," then it hit her, sadness coming with her as it did, "Oh my God! I know!"
Link sat up straight, "What? You know why we feel this way?"
"The premonition!" she screamed, "I can't believe I can forget about it that quick! Link...the first stage of the premonition is complete! There are only three left!"
Link's eyes widened as he too started to remember the premonition, "How can we have forgotten? I can't believe this is happening all too quick."
Zelda sunk down into her chair, "It makes no sense...it was almost as if it crossed my mind completely. I almost forgot about it for good!"
Link slumped down in his chair, "How is it possible to forget something so urgent?" he clutched his stomach, "I don't feel so hungry anymore."
Zelda nodded and clutched her stomach also, "Me neither," she got up, "Let's just go rest for a minute and try to clear our minds."
Link nodded also and he too stood up, "I'm right behind you."
Link fingered the pages through his huge book. The two guards who had left to Kokiri Forest had apparently brought everything he needed, clothes and all. He thumbed more through the pages, then, out of thin air, picked a page. 'Hyrule's Cookbook...How to Make Deku Herb Stew.' Link shrugged and began to read it. There was a knock at the door and Zelda walked in. Link looked up from the book and smiled at her.
"Hey," he said, patting the chair seat next to him. Zelda smiled back at him and sat down, "You finished clearing your mind."
"Pretty much," she replied, "What are you doing?"
Link turned his attention back to the book, "I'm learning how to make Deku Scrub Stew," he laughed.
"What's in it?" she asked.
"Ummmm..." his eyes searched the recipe, "It's mostly gravy, vegetables, and leaves from a Deku Scrub."
Zelda laughed, "Can I pick a section?"
"Sure," Link said and he handed her the book. She took it and searched it until she found a section that said 'Hyrule's History.' She scooted her chair next to Link so he could see, "Hey...I've never read that one before."
"Let's read it together."
Link shook his head, "Mm-Mm. It looks boring," he said, "Let's searched for something that will actually..." he looked at Zelda. She had a very distinct look on her face. Her eyes were trailing to a picture on one of the two pages facing them. It was a picture of a woman sitting next to a younger boy. The woman looked about in her late 20's and the boy looked a little older than Link. Link looked at the picture, and then back at Zelda, "Zelda...are you feeling ok?" she only stood there, "What do you see?"
Zelda pointed slowly at the picture, her mouth open wide in shock, "That's...that's...that's the girl...from my...premonition."
Link gasped and looked at the woman. She had blonde locks hanging from her small head and had a very sinister scowl on her face, "You mean the woman who killed us in your dream?"
She nodded, "The same exact one," she said, "I know it's her. She makes me have this very dark feeling inside. Like depression."
Link studied the woman, "Now you are sure this is the one?"
She smiled weakly, "I'm positive," she pointed to the caption next to the picture, "Read it...I wanna know about her."
"Ok..." Link said. He began reading the caption.
Hyrule's Worse Incarnation
Eye witnesses says she is the most dangerous person Hyrule's ever seen. Her named is Morgana (never gathered last name). She's killed many people including some she has loved once before. Next to Morgana in the picture (left) is Morgana's younger brother, Lucifer.
Morgana is a sinister witch who was once wanted almost fifty years ago for murder, robbery, attempted murder, and the use of illegal witchcraft. Witch hunters have been trying for years to track her down and assassinate her, but all have failed.
Some say they have witnessed the death of Trispirits Sereno Deleon, Kevlon Jep, and Amery Casswell saying this evil incarnation, Morgana, was their murderer. Some today still say she's alive and practicing witchcraft. But others say she has fallen to the dark side to Summerland, where she can never get out.
Link stopped reading and looked over at Zelda, "That's all there is," he said, "There's nothing else."
"But there must be someway," she chewed her bottom lip, "Link...can we just tear out this little picture of Morgana? Please?"
"Sure," he said and he carefully ripped along the thin frame around the picture. Then he closed the book, placed it on the floor, and looked at the picture, "What are we gonna do?"
Zelda nodded, "We're going to find more about Morgana," she said, "You and I are going to check the library for books on her. I give you this picture to see what she looks like, ok?"
Link nodded too, "But what will you use?"
"Don't worry," she replied, "I know what she looks like in my head," she took a notebook from Link's desk and ripped out two pieces of paper. She handed one to Link, "Take a quill and use this to take note on her. What ever you find out, write it down. When we're done, we'll meet back up at lunch in my room and review the notes. We have a huge library. I'm sure we'll find it."
"Actually," Link said, butting in, "We're fast enough. I think we could get more information if one of us goes down to the library near the market. There has to be some old newspaper articles on her. I saw it on my way here."
"Good thinking," she said, "I'll look there. And don't worry...father won't stop me from leaving these castle walls. Just cover for me...ok?"
Author's Note: Now you see why I told you to pay attention in the beginning. If you haven't read the beginning, you probably would have never found any interest in the chapter. Well...I'm not spoiling what's going to happen next...read on and find out for yourself. RR please...and no flames.
