Disclaimer: I do not own the Legend of Zelda
A few people had some problems with my logic in the last chapter. Well I have to say something to you, do you really expect ~logic~ from an author with the penname like LunaticChaos? ^_^ That's what I thought, but I will give you my reason. I had Majora as the creator of the Zora because I believe the Zora have more spirit than they have wisdom. And like I said, Majora was the god of the soul. I said Nayru created the Hylians because they were the only ones left, and I consider the Shiekah an offshoot of Hylians or Gerudo at most. With that said, onto this chapter!
"This is the Temple of Time," Zelda said leading Link into the grand temple.
"What is it?" Link asked looking around the room.
"It is a temple to the three goddesses," Zelda answered smiling.
'And the gateway into the sacred realm,' a voice said.
"Did you hear something?" Link asked Zelda looking around for where the voice came from.
"No, why do you ask?" Zelda answered.
"No reason so who are the goddesses?" Link asked confused as they reached the altar in front of the Door of Time.
"Din goddess of power, Nayru goddess of wisdom, and Farore goddess of courage," Zelda said as Link looked at the altar.
"Are there any others?" Link asked.
"No there aren't," Zelda answered quickly as she recited the inscription on the altar.
'She lies,' the voice said harshly.
'Who is that?' Link thought looking around.
'I am you, and you are me,' the voice answered.
'Onijin,' Link thought as he looked at himself.
'So you know my name, more than most of my prior reincarnations figured out, perhaps you can bring us back to our former power,' the voice told Link.
'You are evil, I will not help you,' Link thought as he turned to Zelda and said, "Can we go somewhere else?"
"Of course Link, maybe going somewhere where you used to have fun at will help you remember," Zelda said while smiling as she led him outside.
Elsewhere, Ganondorf is pacing around in the guest quarters at the castle. "With Onijin back the Gerudo will conquer all, but that infernal child is Onijin and I lose my position as the ruler of the Gerudo because of it. How can I use this situation to my advantage? If I can make Zelda seem to only want to use him, he may come to me for help. He felt the power I command, and he doesn't feel his own power yet so he may come to me for advice. Which will give me my chance to awaken Onijin, but then the problem of how to maintain control arises. Onijin is a god, and I merely control an artifact of a god. How do I maintain control of him!?" Ganondorf yelled hitting a wall, causing cracks to form around where he hit.
'Perhaps you need to make a deal?' a voice suggested to him.
'A telepath, who are you?!' Ganondorf telepathically yelled.
'I am Onijin, my reincarnation has other plans for my power, he wishes to use it for what he believes is right. I don't want that, if you release me I will name you my high priest and you will be second only to me,' Onijin answered with a sinister chuckle.
"Hmph, for the benevolent creator of the Gerudo you seem very evil," Ganondorf mused.
'Not evil, I want to return to this world, and I will do anything to do so,' Onijin answered as his presence left.
"Well then, onto how I can turn him against Zelda," Ganondorf said as he sat down in a chair and began thinking.
Back with Link and Zelda, they were in the Shooting Gallery and the owner was being amazed at Link's skill. Link was using an enormous longbow and was shooting the targets the moment they appeared and was hitting them dead in the center each time. Link finished that round and the owner applauded, "Incredible, it has been quite some time sense I last saw someone shoot like that," the owner said amazed as a memory flashed in Link's mind.
"About eight years ago, a little boy with a slingshot?" Link asked going over his memory.
"Yes! How did you..." the owner said when he realized that it was Link, "My, my you've grown sense I last saw you. I said to myself back then that you were going to be the greatest marksman ever to grace this kingdom, and I was right. You've must have been through a lot though; your hair and eyes have changed. So where have you been?"
"I..." Link began to say when he found himself at a lost of words.
"I'm sorry, he lost his memory," Zelda said finally drawing the owner's attention.
"Princess Zelda!? So sorry, I must have been really rude, I didn't even notice you," the owner apologized with a bow.
"No need to apologize, when I first saw Link I was distracted as well," Zelda told him with a pleasant smile.
"You're very kind Princess Zelda, I thank you for accepting my apology," the owner said with another, deeper bow.
Link put the bow back where he had found it and thanked the owner of the gallery. Then he and Zelda left and walked around town for a bit. Various people stopping to bow at Zelda, and look at Link suspiciously. They entered a small café and sat down at a table. Link turned to Zelda and asked, "Why do they look at me like that?"
"Its politics, there has been a small amount of disagreement between my father and the people. Usually I would have a whole contingent of guards with me, but today I only have you and they think I'm being arrogant. Some of them probably don't think you are that strong and probably are debating whether or not they should risk attacking," Zelda answered him slightly disheartened about something.
"Why would they hold you responsible for something your father is doing?" Link asked confused as a very old memory flashed in his mind, causing Link's eyes to twitch.
"Another memory?" Zelda asked him concerned.
"Yes," Link said.
"What did you see?" Zelda asked curiously
"I'm not sure, I was in someone's arms, fire was all around us, and I heard voices. They were yelling at someone, then I heard the sound of someone dying and then the person who was holding me screamed. I don't remember much else," Link answered slightly scared of that memory.
"Link, I think that was a memory of when your parents," Zelda said as another memory flashed in Link's mind, "Another one? What did you see?"
"I was in someone's arms again, the person was running from voices, I think it was my mother. She ran into the forest as something flew and hit her, she gasped and hobbled on until she saw a great tree, she placed me under one of its roots and began running away again. Then I heard an arrow fly by and it hit her, in her arm. She tried to run again but another arrow his her in the ankle. Then I saw two men come walking up to her, each with a pitchfork in their hands, they stabbed her and stabbed her spilling blood everywhere. They were smiling all the while," Link said as tears welled up in his white eyes, "They were Hylians."
"Link..." Zelda said as Link's eyes changed to being black for a second.
"Can we go back?" Link asked quietly as Zelda nodded and led him back to the castle.
They had left the town and were on the way up the castle road when they were stopped by several armed people, "Let us by," Zelda said sternly glaring at them.
"We won't, we are going to show your father why accepting those dirty Gerudo into our town," one of them said.
"What do you plan on doing?" Zelda asked her voice not wavering in the slightest.
"You will have to die today," one of them said holding a pitchfork.
Link looked up at him and he glared, he reached for the Helix Blade before he realized he had left it back at the castle. Amazingly the sword appeared in his hand as he lowered it preparing for battle, causing the peasants ahead of them to get a little nervous. "No one touched Zelda," Link said dangerously glaring them down.
"Maybe we shouldn't have tried this," one of them said backing off.
"This is our best chance! I won't let it go!" the one with the pitchfork yelled charging.
"Link don't hurt him," Zelda said as she watched him shift his weight preparing to attack.
"Very well," Link said as he attacked, cutting the pitchfork straight down the middle.
That caused him to drop the splintered remains of the pitchfork and run off, soon followed by the rest of them. Link watched them run away glaring at them. He and Zelda then continued on the way back to the castle.
Elsewhere, a caravan is traveling towards Hyrule Castle. It was comprised of a mix of races, all laughing and talking with each other. All but one at least, a teenaged girl riding a horse in the back of the caravan was looking towards Hyrule Castle as if she felt something from it. She wore a simple white work shirt and pants, a pair of brown boots, her hair was tied up in a ponytail, and a bow and quiver was strung over her shoulder. Another woman rode back to her, an almost mirror image of her save for being older. "What's wrong Romani?" she asked the worried girl.
"I don't know Cremia, there is something I don't like about that castle," she answered looking up at it.
"I know you have never seen a real castle before, real ones can't stand up to fairy tales, don't worry about it. Hyrule is ruled by a good king with a good heir to the throne, if we were heading toward Gerudo territory I would be worried," Cremia said as she smiled at her little sister.
"Are we going to visit cousin Malon while we are in Hyrule?" Romani asked looking towards Lon Lon Ranch.
"As soon as we finish business in town we will, it shouldn't take too long," Cremia answered as the caravan continued on its way.
The next day in Hyrule Market, the caravan had arrived and set up shop. Each of them selling different odds and ends. "Okay Romani, I'll be here selling the milk we brought from Terminia, you can go do what you want so long as you don't leave town or anything on me," Cremia told her as they said goodbye.
Romani wondered through the town and eventually happened upon the Shooting Gallery, she walked in and was surprised by the sight of an enormous man in armor using an equally enormous bow to shoot the targets that were appearing. "Hello there little lady, what can I do for you?" the owner of the shop asked noticing her.
"Well I was going to try my hand at the gallery," Romani answered as the big man finished his round.
"Well then step right up, Link here has had about 19 rounds of that, I think he can use a little break, eh Link?" the owner said as the big man stepped down and returned the massive bow.
"I'm done for today anyway, Zelda is probably worried about me, have a good day," he said as he left.
"Who was that?" Romani asked.
"That was Link, a friend of Princess Zelda, and quite the marksman if I do say so myself," the shop owner answered as Romani took a bow and walked up to the platform.
Several hours later, in Hyrule Castle's courtyard, several Gerudo were talking amongst themselves. "Not a single real warrior amongst all of these guards," one of them complained.
"I don't see why Lord Ganondorf doesn't conquer this country, it wouldn't be that hard with us backing him," another added as they heard some footsteps.
They all turned to the source to see Link walking by with Princess Zelda. Their jaws slacked as they saw who it was, "Is that who I think it is?" the first asked them inspecting him from afar.
"It is, it is Lord Onijin, why would he be here in Hyrule though?" the second replied as her eyes fell to his chest.
"Is this why Ganondorf does not attack? Because he believes Onijin is in favor of Hyrule?" a third Gerudo asked as they all looked at him.
"Should we confront him now?" a fourth asked them staring at him.
"No, it could be taken as an act of aggression, the princess is with him," the first answered as Link and Zelda disappeared from sight.
"When should we then?" the fourth asked.
"Tonight, we will confront him tonight, and then we will learn if it is truly Onijin or not," the first answered.
And that is all for chapter 2! ^_^ Plenty of new developments here, what am I going to do with them all? @_@ I don't even know. No questions for this chapter folks, all I want is for you to tell me what you liked in this chapter. Now to leave you with a few parting words... There may be a Bishounen/Bishoujyo under your desk, There may be an old man/woman behind your chair, But you must remember, there is always an insane and evil author writing something out there. Ciao for now! ^_^~Tis has been a fic from your unfriendly neighborhood LunaticChaos~^_^
