Zelda paced back and forth. These sudden episodes had been happening more
and more and she hadn't heard from Ralph, Link or her daughter ever since
that peasant claimed to have seen them. She was beginning to grow
concerned. Suddenly she went ridged. She suddenly began running around the
room in circles and breaking things. She smashed a vase, ripped a drape and
threw a painting off the wall. The guards approached her but when they did,
she turned around used her powers to lift one of men up into the air. He
seemed to be paralyzed. Zelda waved her hand the man went soaring across
the room. He crashed through a window and fell a few stories before landing
on a balcony. Suddenly she snapped out of it and fell down. The guards
helped her up.
Zelda: oh no! That's the worst one yet! I wonder is the other sages our doing this. I must see Rauru before someone gets hurt.
She strode out of the room and grabbed a brown cloak. She hid under to make sure she was not spotted and quickly set off. She walked swiftly through the city. She turned down a dark alley and up a side street. She walked around the back of a building and walked up a set of stairs. Then she went through a stone archway and found herself in a courtyard. In the middle of it was a large temple. This was the temple of time. It used to contain the Triforce and it was where Link obtained his legendary blade and where Ganondorf had plunged Hyrule into his dark empire. Zelda moved the huge doors and threw off the cloak. She was in a long hall with stained glass windows on either side of her. She walked to the other end and up a flight of stairs. Before her was a pedestal and in it rested the master sword. Anyone who could not wield that blade was sealed away in the sacred realm. This was what had happened to Link as a boy. He unknowingly removed the blade and was locked away for seven years. While he was sealed away Ganondorf took over Hyrule and spread his evil curse, forcing the sages into hiding. But when Link rose up he was more powerful then ever. He freed the sages and plunged the sword into Ganondorf foul heart. Zelda stepped towards the pedestal when she approached it a blue light shot forth and engulfed her. The next thing she knew she was standing in the sacred realm. All the other sages were here also. She was standing on a platform and the others stood in a circle around her.
Zelda: has it been happening to all of you to?
They nodded solemnly. Zelda was one of the seven sages that kept Hyrule's order. Each one was given power over something. The sage that guarded the forest was Saria. She was only a mere kokori child that had grown up in the same village as Link. The Sage of fire and the mountains was Durania the ex- leader of the Gorons who died while helping Link battle a fierce dragon. The Sage of water and ice was Ruto, the princess of the zoras. Due to Links lack of knowledge in Zora customs, She and Link had been engaged for a short time. The Sage of the dead was Impa, Zelda's bodyguard. The Sage of sand and spirit was Naburoo a Guerudo rebel. The Sage that watched after the sacred realm was Rauru and finally Zelda was the last sage, who of course ruled Hyrule.
Zelda: Rauru, what's happening? Someone is messing with our powers and he obviously doesn't know what he's doing. Rauru: I think I know what it is.
Saria: well can you do something about it? If we don't have control of our powers how can we maintain order?
Rauru: Im pretty sure it's the same person that was behind Jamie's kidnapping.
Zelda felt a lump rise in her throat.
Rauru: I think this person has the Shield Of The Sages.
Everyone gasped.
Durania: we must find him and kill him ourselves!
Naburoo: Yeah!
Impa: What can we do? Link has left Hyrule's borders which means the kidnapper has to. We're powerless to stop him.
Zelda: not quite. Im not going to stand back and hope Link can save her im going after them.
Ruto: we're coming to. We sent our warriors to.
Rauru: there's still time. Rally all our soldiers and Lets follow them.
In the blink of an eye Zelda found herself back in the castle. She found a messenger and ordered him to give the order to prepare for war. He ran out of the room holding a horn. She soon heard Him blow it and other horns echoed his call.
Savroth paced back and forth in front of the bounty hunters. None of them impressed him all that much. Any of them could have easily assassinated the average target but he knew it would take a combined effort of all of them to have a hope at killing Link.
Savroth: your target is Link. You've all heard of him, right? He can take down any of you so im ordering you to work together. And there will be no reason for you to be stabbing each other's backs because if he is killed you will all receive the same amount and that total will be decreased for every one of you that die.
He sighed. He knew they couldn't do it. He needed someone with Links skill. That's when an idea came to him. He strode out of the room and into his personal chamber. He went over to his desk and opened a heavy spell book. He thumbed through until he came to the curse he wanted. The only thing he really needed was something from that person like a hair or an object. How would he get that? Savroth: the girl!
He walked down into the dungeon and into Jamie's cell. On the floor the man whom he had laid the curse on was wriggling on the moldy stone. His skin was beginning to turn into flakes that were falling off. Underneath the layer of skin were pink patches that were turning into new flakes.
Man: hungry! So hungry!
Savroth: get used to it! It gets a lot worse.
He picked up the man by the collar of his torn shirt and threw him against the wall. Jamie was staring at the man and was cowering in fear. She had one of her daily meals next to her that was partially eaten. The man spotted the bread and launched himself across the floor, running past Savroth on all fours. He snatched up the bread and tore into it.
Man: yuck!
He spat out the bread and took a drink of water. he spat it out all over Jamie who recoiled in disgust.
Savroth: stand back fool!
He kicked him in the gut. Savroth looked Jamie up and down and saw a bracelet on her wrist. He kneeled down and held up her wrist to examine it.
Savroth: who gave you this!
Jamie spit in his face. Savroth smacked her across the cheek.
Savroth: don't make me mad! I repeat! Who gave this to you?
Jamie: I don't have to tell you!
Savroth laughed. Oh but you do! He raised his staff a red blast of light hit her in the head. She looked stunned for a moment.
Savroth: I repeat, who gave this to you?
Jamie: Link. Wait! No, it wasn't him! It was, umm, zeld... Link!
Savroth: I thought so.
He snatched up the bracelet and left. Jamie was frustrated that she had just given away that information but she knew it wasn't her fault. The man in the corner lay still for a moment then went into a seizure-like state of pain and began screaming a shrill scream. Jamie began to cry as the man's face began to contort before her eyes. Savroth rushed into his room and tapped the bracelet with his staff. Then he said the right incantation and a black portal opened up before him. Through the portal stepped Link.
Savroth: perfect. Who better to defeat Link then Link himself? Hello shadow Link.
Zelda: oh no! That's the worst one yet! I wonder is the other sages our doing this. I must see Rauru before someone gets hurt.
