Okay, now I know I'm no writer. I never said I was a good writer. People,
don't expect some masterpiece here. I just write down my story, which I
think is very good by the way, the best way I can. I'm sure most of you
reading it have played the games anyway, so you know basically what I'm
trying to get at......*sigh*
Please people, review. I know you're reading it! I had 10 people mail me and ask me to start writing again. I never would have stopped if I had known more than one person, Chaos Knight Malik, was reading it, or continues to read it. Oh, and yes, thank you so much Chaos for all your reviews. I really appreciate it. If you like my story, could you please just drop ONE review. So I know at least someone's reading it! Well, thank you for reading through these rambles, if you even did.
Enjoy!~

"Link.........."
"Huh? Who said that?"
"Link........Open your eyes Link........"
"What? Eh....Why?"
"It's time for you to wake up Link."
Link opened his eyes, and blinked very slowly. He gave a huge yawn and stretched. He looked in front of him and saw a strange looking man, just standing there smiling at him. Link blinked again. His mind was still hazy form being asleep. ""Who is that? Where am I? I feel different. Taller, I feel taller for some reason. Hmmm, maybe I should be asking HIM these questions instead of just thinking them. Uh, yeah....""
"Um excuse me Mr...."
"Rauru, I am known as Rauru. I am the sage of Light."
"Sage of light?"
"Yes you are here because,"
"What the hell's a sage?" Link slapped his hands across his mouth. He had never used language like that with an elder. He had always heard you were to respect your elders. Not only that, he had interrupted him. "Oh I'm SO sorr,"
"It's quite alright Link, I know you have questions, and I intend to answer them, for the most part. Now, we sages protect the Triforce. We were the ones who made that seal you broke."
"Oh man, I'm,"
Rauru held up a hand. "No need Link, just let me finish."
"Right."
"Long ago we created the seal to keep the Triforce safe from any who would use it for evil. I know you meant well Link, but things don't always turn out like we plan. Part of the Triforce has fallen into the wrong hands.....But, the other parts are quite safe. Link, I know you didn't mean for all this to happen, but it DID happen. Now you need to help fix it. Link, do you feel....different?"
"Yeah, a little."
"You, my friend, are in position of one of the Triforce pieces."
"Whoa, you've got to be shi-, err, I mean pulling my leg."
"I'm not Link, really. Now Link, do not fear. I want you to take a look at yourself. Expect to see some.....changes."
"Changes? Take a look at myself? Puft, well, ok I guess if you want me to "take a look at myself."" Link was starting to feel a little foolish, what had he bought himself into. I mean, 'Sage of Light', 'expect some changes'? What kind of a fool did this old man think he was? Well in the end, Link decided to humor him and looked down at his body. He looked back up at Rauru with a snotty look on his face when 'double take' took over and his eyes once again flew down to his tall, trim, 17 year old body. (drool)
"What the Fu-"
"You have been sleeping here for 7 years, Link. Now, take a look at your left hand. You hold the Triforce of courage. With this, the goddess Farore blesses you with her strength......"
"What? Huh? How? Why, and, and, huh?"
"Hmmmm, I can see how this would be confusing. You'll..."
"Of course it's confusing! I'm a frickn' adult! Or at least close enough! I'm tall! I've, I've got mussels?! (double drool) What the hell? And, and, are my ears pierced? Whoa, are these tights? Why the frick do I need........Oh."
"Are you finished? Are you alright now, have you gotten it all out of your system?"
Link was panting for air. He swallowed and took a deep breath. "Yeah, yeah I think I'm okay now."
"Good. Now, you will be sent back to the Temple of Time. When you are back in Hyrule, you must help to awaken the 7 sages of the 7 temples. They shall each help to make you stronger by adding their power with yours. Once all 7 sages are awakened you will have the power to take on Ganondorf. Link snapped to attention. His eyes narrowed and his face turned cold. With all that had been going on, he had almost forgotten his vow.
"I WILL kill him. Mark my words, that man will DIE BY MY BLADE!!" With the coming of these last words Link unsheathed his mighty Master Sword and swung it through the air. His teeth grit together in an angry scowl.
"Yes, I believe you......All of Hyrule now rests in your capable hands. Our Hero of Time."
Link quietly repeated these words, almost in an awed whisper.
"Hero of Time......Why? Why keep me here for so long? Who knows how much destruction Ganon has wrought?"
"Because, the legends state that the Hero of Time, using the Master Sword, is the only one who may deal the final blow to the dark one. You opened the seal much to early. There was no way you could have successfully wielded the Master Sword in your current state. Now, now you are prepared. It's time. No, it's YOUR TIME!!! Go now Link, go and truly become the Hero of Time!"
A bright light now surrounded Link. He could feel himself being lifted, lifted back to Hyrule. Back to........
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Temple of Time
When Link opened his eyes the secret chamber of the Temple of Time met them. Unchanged, unimpressive. ""Funny,"" he thought, ""it had seemed so wonderful the first time I came here. But now I hate it, this place. Who the hell is that?""
Link directed his attention to a shadowed figure who began to move towards him. Link pulled his sword from the sheath and the figure stopped.
"Who are you?"
"I am of the Sheikah."
"Sheikah huh? That sounds like the tribe Impa was from."
The figure stepped into the light that had filtered through the stain glass window onto the floor. Link saw before him a young man, about his age. The man's lower face was heavily bandaged hiding any real distinguishing features. Half of his face was hidden behind a curtain of golden bangs which reached about chin length. His complexion was dark, from what Link could tell and his eyes were a dark red hazel. (is that a color?) He held at his side a golden harp, which sparkled and shined in the light.
"You, our Hero of Time must awaken the 7 sages. The Ocarina of Time, which you hold, will help you greatly in your struggles. I will also help you in your quest. Music has greatly influenced the land of Hyrule ever since the beginning. To the ballads of the Windfish to the sonnets of the Goddess' music has always held a magical air. I shall now teach you the 'Prelude of Light' which will allow you to 'warp' here whenever you may wish."
"Humph, I'd rather fall into a ReDead tomb then come back to this place."
Sheik looked at Link with unemotional eyes. He held his harp and paused. Link got the idea and pulled out the blue Ocarina of Time, ever so reluctantly. Sheik, apparently amused, began to play the Prelude of Light. {up, right, up, right, left, up} Link followed the rhythm and expertly played each note in time. Afterwards he took notice of Sheik's amusement and asked him, in a rather testy way, "What's so damn funny?"
"So this is the man in which Hyrule's fate lies. Our Hero of Time. Tisk tisk, such an angry young man." He threw down a packet and the dust filled the air. Link fanned away the dust in front of his face, but as it cleared, the mysterious man had disappeared.
"Those crazy Sheikah. Why can't they just leave like a normal person?" Link turned and walked towards the door. He wanted to leave, as soon as possible. "Gods I hate this place."
Link walked out into the open air. He looked up at the sky, and then it finally hit him. SHE WAS GONE!! He fell to the ground on his hands and knees. He grasped the grass with clenched fists. Soon the individual blades of grass began to lump and mesh together as his vision blurred with the hot stinging tears. When it happened, he had had no voice. Well, he had his voice now damn it. He flew upward on his knees, ripping clumps of the grass as he went. He threw his head up to the heavens and screamed in all his anguish, breaking the eerie silence around him. "WHHHHHYYYYYYY?! Why?..... Why?" He fell back down to the grass, pounding at it with his fists. He let the tears come completely then, and laid there, in the cool green grass.
"link.....?"
.............................
"Link, I, I miss her too. *sniff*"
Link stopped. He looked up at the little glowing ball who had helped him so much. His friend. He remembered the friends they had made.......
"Navi..."
"Yes, *sniff*"
"We should go make sure Malon's alright. Look, look around. This place looks like shit, I can only hope that things didn't change much down at the ranch. And besides, I need to talk to someone...... Maybe.....she can tell me where....." He swallowed then, trying to gain himself again, "where Naomi sleeps.....I'd like to bring her some flowers, she always liked flowers."
"Yeah, *sniff* She'd like that!"
"Let's go." He took one last look at the Temple of Time. He cursed it under his breath and headed towards the castle market.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Wooo, another chapter down. Okay, so I'll try to get the NEXT chapter up as soon as I can. Man, that was a lot of talking! And hoo boy, Link seems pretty pissed, don't he? I just want to hug him.
