Chapter Seven - Truths of the Past: Part Three.
Meanwhile Zelda rested outside Kokiri Village for the night, Navi's glow gave her warmth and the feeling of safety, she felt slight sadness thinking of how Link left so hastily. She slowly began to fall asleep as Navi's glow faded to a dim lit candles flicker.
Zelda stood in a rainbow lit chamber with a faint melody, sounding similar to what her father had taught her when she was only a child. She knew she was dreaming and the feelings inside her confused her, she was not fearful, she just wanted to know why she was having this dream.
The chamber she was standing in she recognized, it was a familiar place, and the melody got louder.
"Princess Zelda, you are here to tell you of your role in the quest to bring peace to Hyrule."
Not wanting to say anything, she just stood there looking at the walls around her, listening as the melody faded away. The voice also sounded familiar, she wished to know who was talking to her and why she was having a vision.
"I am Xylas, once known as Guardian of the Forest, you would know me as the Great Deku Tree. The time has come for darkness to cover the land of Hyrule and it your destiny to aid the chosen one in bringing peace to the world. This is a vision of a past that never was, and the path you were supposed to walk.
You are Zelda, and you were chosen to replace Rauru 'Sage of Light' to guard the spiritual realm from shadows. In the alternate present you took the appearance of a Sheikah, and guided Link on his journey for peace. But the truth of the past brought darkness to his quest and those who were thought to be Goddesses punished him.
Zelda, your journey takes you to the village beneath the mountains, to Kakariko Village you must go, and a soul you must find. For you are the only one who can find him, he is linked to you, and it is his fate to join you."
As Zelda stood listening to the voice of the Forest Guardian, she was not sure of the quest that they would have to go on, not knowing who she had to find, she only knew where. Everything she was being told seemed like a riddle, she did not know which path to take and she wished to wake from her dream.
"I apologize for the way I have had to tell you of the hard times that are now taking over your lives, but your journey does not take you to Kokiri and you will not see Link again in your time."
The words spoken angered and upset Zelda, she was being told that she could not see the one she care for most, how could she ever agree to the path she must take. She would not hear anymore from this Guardian of the Forest, Xylas would not tell her of her fate and whom she could or could not be with.
"I will not listen anymore to you, the words you say will be the last you speak to me, I awake from this dream, the vision you bestow onto me. 'Navi, wake me up!"
And like a dream she would simply wake, and Navi was lighting the grass she lay upon. Zelda did not want to believe the words that were spoken, and Navi could sense that something was wrong.
The fairy glowed brighter, trying to bring Zelda comfort, and as she did Zelda smiled at Navi.
But something seemed wrong to Zelda, as she looked around she noticed something different, and as she turned towards the direction of Kokiri Village she saw a figure standing in front of her, she could barely make out the shape of the stranger, it was Link.
"Link, I had the weirdest dream. I was told that I had to make my way to Kakariko Village to look for someone. I was told that my journey led me away from you, I did not know what to say or do, but now you are here, please comfort me."
But he just stood away from her, he did not move towards her and stayed in the darkness just outside Navi's glow. He then took a few steps forward closer to Zelda and she could make out his frowning face. Something was wrong.
"My Princess, I stand here before you, an essence of who I am, in the sanctuary of the once Great Deku Tree. The vision was placed into your mind and you were told of the journey ahead of you, to find a soul in Kakariko Village who would aid me on my quest for peace.
What was said to you is true, and you must go and find this person. And by doing this our lives separate for the last time, our paths no longer destined to meet. And I know these words upset you. If I could fight against all of this, I would. Something more powerful than what we know controls us and we must follow the path set for us."
Zelda took a step towards Link, but as she did he began to fade away, her eyes began to swell and tears started to fall. She reached out her hands for him, but she could not reach him.
"Please Link, do not leave me, I need you, I..."
But before she could finish he was gone, and only darkness covered the field she was on, she turned to Navi whose glow was out of her reach, so she stepped into her light, as she did she awoke.
She knew that it was a dream, she had her vision, and she now understood what she had to do, she knows of the path she must take, but tears still fell and the night sky only brought darkness. She had to turn away from Kokiri Village, she had to make her way to Kakariko Village.
She looked down to see a faint glow that was Navi who was dreaming. Zelda hoped that Navi's dreams were not as sad as her own. And she got up and turned towards the road to the mountain village, and she left the fairy to dream and would not look back.
As she walked slowly towards Kakariko, she pictured in her head a face and a smile. One last tear fell and she heard a voice fade away in her mind.
"I love you too my Princess."
