Chapter Five - Truths of the Past: Part One.
It felt strange being back in the village after so long, everything around felt so small, yet everyone in it may not have grown in size but had grown in heart, he did not feel unwelcome at all. It seemed that their feelings had strengthened when they recognized the stranger before them.
Throughout the welcoming to Kokiri, Saria not once let go of his hand, he felt a pulling and he looked down to Saria. She smiled and he returned the friendly smile, the connection between the two was still as strong, even after seven years.
Saria's pull grew stronger and Link followed as she guided him away from the crowd, she led him into the direction of the Great Deku Tree.
Fireflies hovered around the vine entrance to the Deku Tree's sanctuary, the smell and the lighting was familiar to Link, and as he entered the open field he also felt a dark presence that he felt seven years ago. A shadow loomed over the Forest guardian.
"Link, you stand before me once again, this time as an adult, I can see the man you have become. I know of the pains that were bestowed upon you for several years and I feel somewhat guilty for your sorrow. Please forgive me Link, please forgive me for the path I led you onto."
Link stood before the Great Deku Tree, not feeling anger, he knew that the guardian did not mean to lead him onto the path that he was destined to walk. They were all pawns in Ganondorf's sadistic plan for power.
"Guardian of the forest, for seven years I have been imprisoned in the 'Chamber of Time' for a crime I believe I was wrongly accused of. The Gods found me guilty of the wrongful slaying of a man, but it was the demon I destroyed. Tell me why this is so Great Deku Tree."
Dried brown leaves fell from the Deku Tree, yet summer was upon the land. As leaves fell onto the grown by Links feet he saw them turn to dust and blow away in the wind. Link remembered the last time he saw this, but he did not care at this moment, he just wished to know about the fate placed onto him.
"Through time you traveled, and demons were slain. You were born to be the 'Hero of Time', even if you did not want it to be so. It is your destiny. I sense so much pain within you, and for reasons you believe false and unjust."
Link stood looking at the Deku Tree as his voice echoed around his sanctuary, he knelt down to rest as the Deku Tree continued.
"Saria, what I must say only is for Link to hear, so I sadly have to ask you to leave."
Saria let go of Links hand and kissed his cheek softly, she giggled and then turned and left the sanctuary, leaving Link alone to talk with the Great Deku Tree, she wondered what he would be told, it must be important if she has been asked to leave.
"All those years ago when I called for you on that cold morn to tell you of your quest and the journey you had to make, telling you of how this world was born, the story of the three Goddesses; Din, Farore and Nayru. And I know that Princess Zelda told you of the Triforce and its significance to this world. Link, it was all a lie, the truth until now was hidden to all, even me. As Forest Guardian I have been given the visions of the truth, and it has to be passed onto you, the chosen one."
Link stood up and moved closer to the Great Deku Tree, his eyes began to widen and glow blue as he looked upon the Forest Guardians true form, a angel. Link was the first to look upon the Deku Trees true form, and he did not know what to say.
"Link, my shell has once again been cursed, and it is now time for me to show my true self to all, I am the 'Archangel Guardian of the Forest' and was named by my ancestors 'Xylas'. And now my destiny is linked with yours, I am your spirit guide, let me tell you the truth that I have learned."
The Great Deku Trees sanctuary darkened and Link watched as the guardians' shell faded to shadows. As the life drained out of the once Great Deku Tree, it was Xylas' emerald glow that lit up the sanctuary.
Link remembered the appearance of the Great Fairies' and could see that Xylas was similar to them, apart from a beautiful pair of translucent wings that glowed green. His eyes gleamed green that would create a ray of light that would light up around Link.
Thinking about it, Link knew that if Zelda was here that she would fall for such an enchanting being. He shook his head and looked upon Xylas, wanting to know the truths of the past.
"Guardian of the Forest, Xylas, tell me of the past."
Xylas hovered towards Link and landed just in front of him, his glow faded and his body became a human form, similar in appearance of Links, but more ghost like. Link could still see through him, and the wings wrapped around his body creating a faded jade green tunic.
"The three Goddesses were not Goddesses at all, they were merely Deities' that ruled under the true God 'Synvari'. He would use the deities' powers to create a world, a world for life and peace. But he did not know of the traitorous plan that they were concocting."
Link looked at Xylas not sure if he believed what he was being told, but something inside of him would sense the truth in the being before him, he trusted the Guardian of the Forest.
"The world was created and peace was in balance with life, all that Synvari wished for had come about, if only he knew about his soon untimely fate. Farore was to create the three segments of the Triforce, this was just the first step in the creation of Synvari's prison.
The segments had to be fused together and it was Nayru who would use her energy-binding gift to make the Triforce one. But for it to be finished and its purpose known, a trap had to be set.
The three deities' called upon Synvari to be in their presence, and the first year had to pass for the energy to reach a certain point to give Din what she needed to finish the Triforces' true significance.
Time went by and a year had passed, now the plan was set and all that was needed was the Gods presence."
