. Chapter 20 . - And Again…
"We can't keep running like this," Malon told Link and Zelda as they entered Link's house.
Zelda looked in Malon's direction, "What else is there to do?"
Link nodded in agreement, "There's nothing else we can do."
Malon looked pensive, "But tell me, how did the king change the real present?"
Zelda closed her eyes, "Time control."
"Then why don't you just take time back again? This time, because you know what happened, you should remember each other!" Malon exclaimed.
"You're right! I think it'll work," Zelda said, smiling and looked at Link, "What do you think?"
Link grinned, "If it works, I'm in. I'm sick of hiding."
"We'll just have to call Rauru then," Zelda said.
"Yeah, Rauru can turn the time back for us," Malon said without thinking, but quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
"How do you know Rauru? Only selective members of the Royal Family know him! I didn't even know him myself until a few days ago!" Zelda asked.
"I… I…" Malon stammered.
"Yes?" Link asked.
"I talked to her before," a voice spoke as a yellow ball of light tranformed into the Sage of Light, Rauru.
"Rauru!" Zelda exclaimed, recognising the figure.
"I told her my plans and asked her to somehow tell you two so that we could carry it out with your consent," Rauru explained, looking at Link and Zelda reassuringly.
"Well, I'm with the idea, it's a very good one," Zelda said, smiling.
"Me too," Link added.
"Then it's certain. We'll just have to get to the Temple of Time," Rauru told them.
"But we just got here!" Link complained, "It took almost a full day!"
"I can transport you, or at least one of you, two of you will have to fly with Keapora," Rauru said thoughtfully.
"Keapora? Who's that?" Link asked.
There was a flapping sound outside and a voice answered Link's question, "I'm Keapora Gaebora. The wise owl, protector of Hyrule."
Link looked at the owl in shock, "An… owl?"
"You can go with Rauru, I'll go with Malon and Keapora," Zelda told Link as she began to walk outside.
Malon followed, "I guess we'll be seeing you in the Temple of Time."
Holding Link by the arm, Rauru transformed into a ball of light and waited outside.
"Come on, let's go!" Zelda told Malon as they both hurried outside.
"Hold on tight girls," the owl told them as he spread his large wings and took flight.
Before they knew it, they were all inside the Temple of Time.
"Are you ready?" Rauru asked as he opened the door to the Chamber of Time.
"I'll stay here," Malon said, staying where she was.
"You ready?" Link asked, taking Zelda's hand.
Zelda looked back at Malon, "Thanks Malon, I hope we meet again."
Malon nodded, "Me too, bye."
Zelda looked at Link and they followed Rauru.
"Now, what you will have to do is place your hands on this pedestal and read out the words engraved onto the stone," Rauru told them.
"Okay," Zelda said, nodding.
Rauru walked away, "Good luck. If everything goes right, we'll all be sent back in time exactly as far as your father sent us back last time."
"Thanks Rauru," Zelda called as he left the room.
Zelda looked at the pedestal in the middle of the room and then at Link, "You ready?"
Link nodded, "First, I have to do one thing."
Zelda looked at Link with curiosity as he held her and kissed her.
"I love you," he told her as they pulled apart.
"I love you too Link. When we're sent back in time, we'll keep our memories. When you find yourself in the past once more, please, come to the castle," Zelda replied.
Link nodded as he placed his hands on the pedestal. Zelda did the same and they began to recite the incantation written in the stone in unison. They felt a strange feeling. Similar to when their memories had returned to them. They saw everything in their lives going backwards, but it stopped.
Zelda opened her eyes and looked around. She was in one of the gardens of Hyrule Castle. Looking down at herself, she smiled. It had worked. She was now an eleven year old girl again. Running down the large stretch of grass to the lake, she stood there, staring at her own reflection. There were so many things that she hadn't noticed, hadn't payed attention to before. This was her second chance, to live her life again.
"Zelda?" a small voice asked.
Turning around, Zelda let out a giggle. Hiding behind a bush, stood a small ten year old boy dressed in green, "Link!"
Link smiled shyly and walked towards Zelda and hugged her, "It's so good to see you… again."
A/N: Okay…. I didn't really like that ending either…. But I didn't really know what else to do and I just figured that it would be somewhat logical if I just send them back again. They'll have no King to bug them again, because he's dead and doesn't get revived when they turn time back and yeah….
And I might write like a special chapter thingie, which shows how the King died, because I left that out of the main story and people might wonder why he suddenly died.
If it's not Link's fault, then who's fault is it?!?! oO
Anyways, review now.
PS: THANK YOU TO ALL MY READERS WHO REVIEWED! YOU'RE ALL ON MY LIST OF FAVOURITE PEOPLE!! (and sorry to all those Americans who got pissed off at my spelling stuff… I can't help it! I'm from Australia! I learnt it like that!)
PPS: (or whatever… ) I truthfully have NO idea how the King died… so I'll take suggestions for the special chapter thingie… at the moment, I've only got 2 ideas… which I shall not put up here just in case there are people who want to be surprised or something… O.o
