Chapter One - A Broken Promise Kept.
Dark blood stained the marble symbols that once showed the seven sages true power, they surrounded the pedestal that once held the 'Master Sword', yet it wasnot the blade that lay in its place, it was a beaten savior. No movement came from the lifeless body on the floor, lying in his own sticky blood.
Navi in just a heartbeat was at the young mans side, her blue glow hid the purple darkness that gloomed over them. She looked upon the once strong hero, as crystal tears began to fall onto his torn skin. The bloodied wounds slowly began to heal, yet he still lay motionless.
Through the shadows hidden by the darkness that Navi could not light, Zelda made her way slowly towards the wounded young man, hoping and praying that it was not who she feared it would be. But even through the purple glow she could clearly make out the forest green tunic, and then she knew, it was Link. And now she wishes that he had not kept his promise and had not returned seven years to the day.
The crystal tears that were falling from Navi's eyes onto Links body made the shadowy glow of the chamber ever-so slowly light up, and the dried blood that was spilt on the floor began to fade and disappear. Both Zelda and Navi noticed that Links body still seemed motionless, Zelda joined Navi as her tears began to fall.
Zelda knelt down beside Link and reached for one of his hands and then raised it to her lips and kissed his fingers. Her tears dripped onto his hand, and that moment a single lifes breath echoed around the chamber making the fairy and princess jump.
Tears of sorrow became tears of joy as the breath became two and then three, and the beaten savior seemed to be regaining consciousness.
Navi began to fly around the chamber and her glow grew brighter and it gave of beams of light which lit up the great hall, once again giving it the spectacular brightness that all once felt. No more darkness shadowed the chamber, no more evil consumed the world of light.
Zelda reached down taking Link into her arms, she could feel the pain he felt as she held him, yet she gave of a warm smile that gave the hall that extra glow of light. She was more than releaved to be holding someone she had missed for so long, and as Link began to return the warm embrace, it was clear that he felt the same as she did.
Coughing bounced around the temple as Links worn out body could barely move from its fallen heap on the pedestal, yet he still fought to sit up. He watched as Navi flew around the temple, and looked deeply into Zelda's worried eyes, he gave her in return a warm smile.
"I promised you I would return my princess."
She looked at him and returned his smile, but she noticed the pain Link was in and could see his smile sink, it seemed that the shadows that may have once darkened the chamber had reached out futher than the temples walls, and could see that Link was worried by this.
Navi noticed Links saddened frown and floated downwards to his side, she could also see like Zelda, his pain and endless sorrow that loomed within his own eyes. Both worried by this they thought it was time that they found out why he was in the 'Chamber of Time' and how he got there, further more, where the 'Master Sword' had gone. Hoping that the answer was one they would not wish for.
"Through time I travelled, and eventhough I fought for good, I broke the rules of the Gods. They themselves took me from time itself and told me what I had done, the crime I had committed."
Zelda looked worryingly confused by Links words and looked again to see the sorrow in Links eyes, and continued to listen.
"They told me that I travelled through time using a great gift, and with that I took life, even if it was an evil one, I still took life. I was found guilty of obstructing the events that time allowed to unfold.
My sentence was to spend the time I obstructed with the one whose life I stole. And for several years I have been frozen with Ganondorf within the walls of this chamber.
Yet as time passed we both lost track of how long we had been frozen, and up until only hours ago we were forced to wonder if eternity had passed. But as we were freed, Ganondorf still held the 'Triforce of Power' and with it he fought. He obtained the 'Master Sword' and ran its blade through my body. I watched as he used it to travel through time.
Where and when I have no idea, but I know one thing, we cannot stop him!"
Zelda looked in horror as Link finished his story, the words sunk in deeply, but nothing had changed as of yet, so she felt some safety. It meant that Ganondorf had not yet altered anything in the past and is yet to forefill his plans. But she now saw sorrow as Link did.
Slowly Link rised to his aching feet, with the help of Zelda he stayed stood up, and Navi hovered close. Link began to walk step by step out of the chamber, making his way out of the 'Temple of Time', as they left the great doors closed shaking the temple.
As they left the temple Link looked up to Navi floating beside him and Zelda.
"We need to go to Kokori village, there is someone there who can help, lets just hope we can get there before the curse is placed upon him..."
