Chapter Six - Truths of the Past: Part Two.
Everyone had been told a story, they all believed that Hyrule was created by Goddesses that wanted peace throughout the land, and now the truth was revealed, it was all a lie, they were not Goddesses at all, just servants of a God.
Link sat down whilst he was being told the story of how all was created, listening to what happened to the God and how the truth was hidden, he wanted to know more and let Xylas continue.
"Synvari arrived for the gathering, not knowing what was in store for him. He was warmly greeted by those he thought to be friends, he did not know of their treachery. And with his presence their plan would take place, and without warning Din called upon the demons that possessed the powers beyond the realm of Hyrule, and her power grew stronger than Synvari's.
The God did not know what was happening and had no time to fight against them, he was helpless as the Triforce appeared in front of him, and he was confused by what he saw. And as he was being told about his fate, he cursed the deities', telling of a soul that would rise above them. But they ignored him and continued.
Now the Triforce glowed golden with energies unknown to all, a great power surrounded the mystical Triforce, but now it was created for one reason, to be a prison for a God. And with Din's words Synvari slowly was absorbed into the binding energies of the Triforce, to be imprisoned for eternity."
Link could not understand why all this was so, why would the stories be lies and why would the Triforce be mistaken as a powerful emblem of peace and hope? And he looked at Xylas.
"Tell me Guardian of the Forest, when the God was imprisoned. Why was the Triforce mistaken to be something of pure good?"
Xylas looked at Link, his eyes would glow once more.
"Something so powerful is a danger to someone who wants it for evil, and as long as people believe it to be something good, that all the pieces together are more powerful, the prison would never be broken. But the Deities', now Goddesses would not know of their own fates.
The curse upon them would not be broken with time and even though the truth of the Triforce was hidden, its power did grow and something unexpectedly happened, the seal that would bind the three segments would break when a forth power was introduced. The Gods essence was not weak and added to the great power of the Triforce, a spherical orb would appear in the center of the Triforce.
When the added power began to take over the Triforce, the Goddesses realized that it must be kept somewhere no one could reach it, so they created a world beyond time and space itself and appointed souls to guard it, the seven sages. But one of the sages learned of the truth and fought to break the seal, his destiny was found, he was the 'Guardian of the Time Chamber' or what you call the Spiritual Realm. He was Rauru, sage of light.
He gave his soul to reach the land of Hyrule, and he did, by passing on a vision to the King of Hyrules' guard. He created the key, the 'Ocarina of Time' but something happened unknown even to me and the Ocarina would not reach the one chosen to use it for its true purpose. It was passed down to the Princess of Hyrule, who would then pass it on to you.
The Goddesses learnt of Rauru's plan to save the God within the Triforce and found a soul to fight against the light that fought for peace. They told this dark soul of the power that was within the Triforce, and that if he held it, he would rule over Hyrule. They told him of a moment in time that would allow him to gain the Triforce for himself.
But when he did hold it and wished for power to control all, something unexpected happened, the Triforce separated, the evil energy entered this souls body, making him powerful, but took away his sanity, it would make a demon of a man. You know him as Ganondorf.
The sphere that held the God captive changed its form also, it became a clear stone, and disappeared, its power is unknown, but know this Link, it is greater than any you have ever believed to ever exist. And it can only be found in one moment in time, for its physical form can only be in Hyrules realm for a full rotation of the world. And that is why you are here, you are the 'Hero of Time', chosen to be a 'Guardian of Time'.
And it is why the goddesses held you as a prisoner. They know of your destiny, but their power faulted by the power you hold, you yourself control time, you do not need the Ocarina or the Master Sword to travel through time, it was the gift bestowed upon you. Your bloodline, your true bloodline."
Link stood up and turned to walk away from Xylas.
"I am just a pawn in a stupid game for power, I do not want to have anything to do with this. Do you hear me, I am no longer your hero of time, and I am no guardian!"
And he began to walk out of the sanctuary, but as he did he felt a force hit him hard to the floor, he was being dragged to the feet of the Guardian of the Forest. He could not move and was forced to listen.
"Link, it is your destiny, that you cannot change, and I will not feel sorrow for you anymore, you have to accept it like I had to so many years ago when I first existed in this realm. I was held captive also in a form I could not escape until now. You fear the future and the past. You want answers to all your questions and that is why you came to me. I am sorry, I do not have your answers, they are for you to find out, and I can only be your guide.
Link, your journey began more than seven years ago, you are the curse that was bestowed upon the Goddesses, and only you can vanquish the evil that once again rules over this world. Only you have the power to bring the Triforce together and release the one who can bring peace to your world, Ganondorf fights against you not in this time, but years ago before you were born, his plan is to stop you from existing, and you must stop him.
I can no longer tell you of your fate, of your destiny, I can only be there with you, every step forward is now your decision, and the fate of this land is now in your hands. Travel to the past and stop Ganondorf from retrieving the 'Lost Stone of Time' and bringing together the Trisphere. It is you that the Goddesses fear, your soul, pure goodness, untainted with darkness, even after all the pain and sorrow that you have felt.
You will not be alone in this Link, your friends will be with you and my visions will be passed on to them."
Link fell to his knees, he did not want any of this, what he was being told could not be, everything he fought for was for nothing and he no longer believed in himself, he was not strong enough to save time itself. He believed that he could not fight against three Goddesses and a demon that was closer to bringing the Trisphere together.
