Chapter Two - A Blades Edge.
Still being held up by Zelda, Link leave's the 'Temple of Time', his mind slightly at ease, yet sorrow also pains him, as the great temple was also his prison for so long. He's notices that Zelda tries to talk, but each time she starts to utter a single word she stops herself and all remains silent. Navi sits quietly on Links shoulder not wanting to talk, yet her glow is always in Links view, which brings a smile to his face. They move slowly into Hyrule Market Square.
Zelda looked up to see that the stars were hidden, as was the moons soft glow, which could no longer be seen through the thick dark clouds. As they make there way through the market they all feel a shadowy presence watching over them. Zelda goes to speak once more, but Link interrupts her.
"Princess, I need a weapon. Please can you take me to the Palace? I do not know why I have to go there, but something is telling me to be there, to get something. It is stupid, I am sorry, yet something inside my head is just yelling every second I am not there"
Zelda was confused by Links request to go to the palace, knowing that there are no weapons there, apart from the Royal Armory, and there is nothing that she believes Link would want to wield. Yet the look in his eyes gave Zelda a strange feeling that Link knew something that she did not, so she kindly agreed without contesting such a request.
Link no longer needed Zelda's shoulder to rest upon as they made their way up the hill towards the palace. They slowly approached the gate and by standing by the gate switches was a guard, standing tall in Hylian armour, with a blue garment under the silver metal. He noticed that it was Zelda approaching and smiled, not giving Link a second look.
"Young princess, it is nice to see your safe return, this night grows colder and you father worries for your safety. I hope you have a pleasant night."
The guard stepped inside a small booth with switches, cogs and wheels. He disappeared for a moment and the gate began to open. He watched as the Zelda walked through, being followed by a young man, who was a stranger and his fairy. How odd he thought.
"Thank you guard, please also have a pleasant night. I will ask a maid to bring you out a warm meal and a hot drink for you."
The guard smiled at Zelda and she smiled back. He watched as Zelda and Link walked towards the palaces great doors. Link took his mind of the guards stare at him and thought back to the presence that seemed to be all around them, even now, yet he carried on with Zelda now by his side.
As they approached the palaces great doors, Link fell to his knees, holding the sides of his head, feeling deep stabbing pains and flashes of memories he could not remember. Zelda knelt down by his side and Navi hovered by them.
"Link, are you okay?!"
But he did not answer, he let go of his head and took hold of Zelda's hands, he smiled at her and looked deeply into her emerald eyes. He then lifted himself up with Zelda's assistance and moved closer to the palace.
"Zelda, your father is worried by your late return, go and let him know that you are safe and that you will only be staying a short while. I will wonder, something seems to be telling me where to go, I would like to have a look around the palace, it intrigues me."
Link smiled again as Zelda raised Links hands to her lips and kissed his fingertips. She then parted and walked into the direction of a large well lit chamber.
Navi stayed on Links shoulder as he made his way in the opposite direction of Zelda towards a chamber that looked out of place within the castle walls. The room was astonishing, completely covered in mirrors and the room was completely bare apart from a small black stone sphere in the centre of the cirular room.
Link walked slowly into the room, reflections of both Link and Navi walked into eternity, going on forever, but Link did not seem to notice, his mind was set on the stone sphere on the floor as he made his way towards it. Standing upon it Link began to whistle a tune, Navi found that it sounded familiar, he was playing the Royal Family Tune, the sweet lullaby he was taught all those years ago.
As the tune left his lips Navi was shocked to see, that no longer could either of their reflections be seen in the mirrors, and as she looked around, directly infront of Link was a small passage way, beyond the passageway was a room, glowing a softest blue.
She watched as Link walked towards the passageway and into the blue lit room, she noticed that Link was no longer moving by himself, as if someone was in his body moving him along, yet she could still see in his eyes that he was there.
"Link, how do you know of this room? I do not understand!"
Within this room was a sapphire pedestal, and in the the pedestal was a slot. Navi noticed that there was nothing in the pedestal and knew that there should be, she was confused and wished for an answer. But Navi did not get a reply, instead Link began to whistle the tune once again and as he did, the soft blue glow became blinding, and for a few minutes they could not see.
When they opened their eyes they where back in the room with mirrors, and they could once again see their reflections go on forever, yet no longer did a black stone sphere lie in the middle, the sapphire blue pedestal sat in its place. And in the once empty slot stood grandly a sword, its handle made from pure sapphire, its hilt had a golden Triforce moulded into it, yet in the middle of the Triforce was a round spherical orb, glowing a faint blue shade. The blade itself was beautiful, along the edge a blue flow of energy moved up to the tip of the blade, and as the energy hit the tip, lightning faintly sparked.
Navi hovered around the room looking at the enchanting sword, wondering what it was, as her glow did not add any light, its own glow almost blinded all those who looked upon it, Zelda walled into the chamber.
She looked upon the pedestal, at the blade that she did not recognise. She watched as Link reached to take hold of the blade. A room she had been in so many time, she did not know its secret, her father did not even know its secret and he was the King. Yet she was confused to see that Link stood in the middle holding a mysterious sword. Just before she was about to ask Link what was going on, he interrupted.
"It is the true 'Master Sword', what Ganondorf wields is merely a key of time, but this is the 'Blade of Destiny.' And I only wish I knew how I knew it had been shown to me. Something inside told me it was here, something was telling me how to obtain it, and I do not know who was telling me this."
Zelda stepped towards Link as he put the sword into the blue and silver sheaf on his back that appeared as the sword did.
"How Link? I do not understand. You come into my home knowing secrets no- one else knows. I do not understand how this is possible. Please ease my mind."
Zelda pleaded with Link to tell her, but he just turned towards the doorway and made his way out of the room, stopping at the door. As he began to leave both Navi and Zelda noticed that the pedestal began to fade away, yet the sword remained on Links back. He turned back to them both, looking into the eyes of a very confused Zelda, giving her a sorrowed frown.
"Zelda my Princess, I wish I could give you the answer you wish to hear. In all honesty, I want, I need the answer myself, but I do not know. But I promise you that soon you will have your answer. Let us go to Kokiri Village, I know in my mind, deep down in my heart that the answers lie there. We will find the truth together."
Zelda walked up to Link and held his hand, she looked at the Master Sword and then into Links eyes, she could see that he was scared and that her was telling her the truth about not knowing. She then began to lead him out of the palace, Navi followed lighting up the walls of the dull lit palace. All three confused, hoping to soon learn the truth.
