Chapter 7: Termanian Travels

Malon cried as the thought of Link being gone forever sunk in.

The Sages finally woke up, and Naboroo asked franticly, "Where's Link and Ganon?!"

Malon looked down and said, "He....he sent himself ....to the Sacred Realm...with Ganon."

Everyone gasped at the sad news, but they all tried to hold their tears back, knowing Link would want them to be strong.

Darunia then asked, "Well Malon, do you need any company on your journey?"

Malon looked at Darunia and said, "Well, Mabe, I mean it may get lonely depending on how far away this Termina place is.

Naboroo smiled and said, "Fine, how about I join you?"

Malon smiled and said, "That would be great, I could use another girl to talk to."

Zelda laughed and said, "Would you mind if Impa and I joined? I mean, it will be a while before the castle's rebuilt, and it get boring by yourself."

Malon laughed and said, "Ok, what about you Ruto and Saria, you want to join?"

Saria and Ruto smiled and said, "Sure, why not?"

So, everyone got packed, and met around 9:00 a.m. the next day outside the entrance of the Kokiri village. Saira handed Malon Link's book, and they followed the map to Termina through the Lost Woods. On the way to Termina, Ruto noticed Saria was wearing Link's shield, had his sword, and wore his bracelet.

"Wow Saira, you look like Link did when he was a boy, with all of that stuff on.", Ruto said.

Saira smiled and said, "Well, Link always said be prepared for anything."

Everyone laughed and continued on their journey. When they made it to the odd portal, they were very skeptical to step in, but they still, they walked through. They took Link's route to jump across the gaps on the ground, and made it to an odd room. It had a smell just as odd as the looks, but they ignored it, and walked up the obvious paths to the exit of this room. When they opened the door, they saw a beautiful town with kids running around, playing, and laughing. The crowd wasn't as big as Hyrule's market, but still, people were going into shops, and building things. They were a bit nervous about the sudden crown, but Malon wanted to see this bank Link was talking about, so she walked up to a purple headed young man and asked him were it was. He smiled, mentioned something about looking like Romanian sisters, and told where it was. Malon smiled, thanked the man, and everyone walked to the bank.

Malon showed the man Link's mark and he replied, "Oh my goodness!! You have my favorite account young lady, I believe it's Link's isn't it?" Malon nervously nodded, and the man said," Well, Mrs. Link, you have 11,237,785 rupees in your account."

Malons eyes nearly popped out of her head as she asked, "Are you serious sir!?"

The man nodded and said, "Oh yes. Link always deposited a vast amount of rupees, and the seven year increase has nearly quadrupled your husband's account."

Malon was a bit shocked at how rich Link was, but then blushed and said, "Oh sir, Link is not my husband. He just gave me his mark to make a withdraw."

The man laughed and said, "I'm sorry miss, it's just normally ladies who take money out other's accounts are married to the account holder, and visa versa."

Malon nodded, and told the man she would be back later. The man nodded, and Malon and her friends left and was wondering were to go.

"My goodness Malon you're as rich as Zelda.", Naboroo said in shock.

Malon and Zelda laughed, and they entered a shop. As soon as they did, a scare crow popped out of the ground and startled everyone.

Impa withdrew her dagger, and the scare crow quickly said, "Hey, wait please! I'm not hear to hurt you, I just wanted to know if you wanted to dance till the next day?"

Darunia smiled, but Ruto quickly said," We really don't have that time mister."

The scare crow smiled and said, "Ok, I'll tell you a secret though. If you play the mysterious song backwards, you'll go backwards too.", and with that, he went back underground.

Malon then asked, "What did he mean about mysterious song?"

Everyone pondered about that, but then someone about 14 years old said, "He means the Song of Time."

Hearing this caused the group to turn around and Zelda asked," How did you know about that song?!"

He smiled and said, "My friend Link, savior of Termina, told me and the other Bomber boys about it."

Zelda then asked, "Have you used it?"

The boy replied, "Nope, Link said it requires a special instrument, so I never even tried."

Zelda nodded, and Naboroo asked, "What do you mean by savoir of Termina?"

The boy laughed and said, "Were have you been? Link stopped an evil mask from bringing the moon down on Termina."

Naboroo looked a bit dumbfound at that story, but she shrugged it off. The boy then rolled his eyes and walked away.

Zelda took out her ocarina and said, "How about we give it a try?"

Malon agreed, since her map may be out dated, and she need something to take her mind off Link, as did the others.

So it was agreed, but Zelda said, rather embarrassed, "Well, the thing is, I don't exactly think I could play the whole song backwards."

Everyone was stumped on what to do, and then Saria took Link's book from Malon and said, "Here it is. I remember Link telling me about these songs, and here are the pages that they are in."

Saria showed Zelda, and she played the song. Just as she finished, she heard a mysterious voice asking, "How far do you want too go?"

Zelda then said, "Uhhh…Seven years...". As soon as she said that, everyone started to fall, with clocks spinning around them, and counting down.

Then, the flashed a bright light, and they disappeared, yelling, very scared of what was going on. When the light sub sided, They found themselves opening the very same door the used to get into Clock Town again.

Zelda said, "That was...Ah! My voice! My.. I'm shorter...what's going on?!"

Ruto laughed, then she realized she was her chubby young self again.

"Hey! this isn't funny!", Ruto hissed as Zelda laughed at her.

Malon rubbed her head and complained, "This is very strange. I though we would stay the same age if we went back in time, not get younger."

Impa, Naboroo, and Darunia laughed at everyone.

Saria just laughed and said, "Well it doesn't matter to me, I never change."

Malon, Ruto and Zelda sighed and tried to get their bearings on their younger bodies once again.

Just as they thought things couldn't get weirder, a young lady grabbed Saria, hugged her tightly and said, "Oh thank you Link! You help Kafel and I get married. We love you so much from that! If there's anything we can do for you just ask!"

Everyone was so shocked at this, they didn't know what to do. Saria was trying to tell the lady who se was, but the lady was hugging her so tightly, she couldn't breath or say a word.

Just then, a purple haired boy ran up to the lady and said, "Ummm….Anju, I don't think that's Link..."

Anju stopped hugging Saria, looked at her face and said, "Oh my! I'm so sorry, you look like a young boy I know."

Saira looked up at the lady and said, "Ok, but could you please put me down!"

Anju blushed, and set Saria down.

"Have we met before?", Malon asked as she looked at the purple haired boy.

He laughed at Malon and said, "Of coarse we've met Romania. Stop joking."

Malon looked at the boy confused and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm not her. My name is Malon."

The boy looked closely at and said, "Malon?! Romania, you come up with the funnies names."

Naboroo then said, "Didn't you hear her, she said that's not her name!"

The boy looked at her and said, "What is a pirate doing here!?"

Ruto laughed to herself as Naboroo asked, feeling very insulted, "Pirate!? I am no such thing. I like to think of myself as a lady who takes what she wants, when she feels the need to."

The boy nervously laughed, and Anju laughed at him.

Anju then said, "Where are our manors? My name is Anju. I'm sorry for hugging you like that...Umm.."

Saria then introduced herself, "I'm Saria. It's ok."

Anju smiled and said, "So you're Saria? Link has told us a lot about you. It's amazing ho you two look the same in those cloths. In fact, he was wearing that same sword and shield when we last saw him yesterday. But he said something about returning home, so I think he'd long gone by now. Please don't get me wrong, I mistook your hair for Link's hat. I guess I was hoping I could thank him again."

Saria laughed and said, "It's alright. I understand Link leaves a lasting impression on people."

Anju then replied, "Yes, that's true. Oh, this handsome devil is my husband Kafel.", she pointed to he boy as she said that.

Naboroo asked, "That boy is your husband!?"

Kafel laughed and said, "Actually, I'm the same age as her, but I was turned into a child by a boy wearing a evil mask."

Naboroo nodded and said, "Well, I'm Naboroo, please to meet you."

Ruto, Zelda, Impa, and Darunia also introduced themselves.

After everyone met, Malon asked, "Do you know were I can find Romani Ranch?"

Anju nodded and said, "Yes, it's through the south exit. head strait then turn right towards what looks like a wooden arch. Go in that are, and head strait and you're there."

Malon thanked Anju, and she and everyone else headed towards the ranch.

When they got to the gate, the guard said, " I'm sorry girls, but I can't let you pass without any weapns."

Impa then looked at the man and said, "I will be escorting them. Is there a problem?"

The guard felt weak in the knees and said, "No miss, just be careful you all."

Impa nodded and everyone left the town. When they left the town, they were awe struck by the beautiful landscape of Termina. They followed Anju's directions, but a Klepto tried to steal something form them. After a few Goron punches, and Naboroo's swipes, Kelpto gave up, and they earned 200 rupees, which they split between Daarunia and Naboroo. They entered Milk Road and over hear someone shouting. The voices sounded familiar to Malon, but she thought she'd ignore it. When they entered Romania Ranch, Malon felt right at home oddly. She smiled and hummed her song as she walked through the ranch.

Suddenly a girl who looked like Malon's older self, grabbed her and said, "Romania, you can play with your friends later. Didn't I tell you to feed the cow? Hurry up girl or they won't give milk today!"

As you can guess, Malon was a bit startled, and when tried to tell her who she was, a girl who looked exactly like Malon walked up and said, "Hey sis, where's the he-....Who is that!?"

When Malon saw the little girl, she could understand the mix up between the two.

The girl smiled and said, "My name is Romania, what's yours?"

"M-Malon, my name is Malon."

Romania looked over at the sages, who were a bit confused, and said, "You look like Grasshopper!"

Malon looked back and said, "Grasshopper?!"

Before Romania had a chance to explain, her sis said, "Cows, hungry, NOW!"

Romania quickly ran to the barn.

The girl looked at Malon and said, "I'm sorry, but it's before our usual working hours, so if you came back at seven, it would be much more convenient."

Malon nodded and said, "Ok, but before I go, Link told me you could help me restart my Ranch. You see, a terrible storm hit it, and I was only left with my father and his helper."

The girl looked at Malon and asked, "Link?! Oh, anything for him, he opened Milk Road, and protected the milk for me when I went riding to town. But I just can't give you the cows and horses unfortunately. You see, I have a special breed of cows and they haven't bred yet."

Malon looked down with a face full of despair.

The girl looked and Malon and said, "Hey, I have an idea. Since I need some extra help, and you're experienced on a Ranch, you can work for what you need."

Malon looked up at her enthusiastically and said, "Sure, anything you need done, I can do it!"

The girl smiled at Malon's enthusiasm and said, "You can feed the Cucoos while Romania is feeding the cows. Then you can follow me, and I'll show you how, and which cows to milk for the next three weeks."

"Three weeks, isn't that a bit long?", Saira asked.

Malon looked at her and said, "It's ok, you all just have to find something to do for that time."

Saria smiled at Malon and said, "Ok, but I would like Link's book please. I may want to explore the Deku kingdom Link told me about."

Malon smiled, gave Saria the book and everyone said their good-byes.

Later in Clock Town

Saria was playing the target game, while Zelda was exploring Clock Town with Impa. Darunia was talking to a Goron in the Stock Pot Inn, Naboroo practice her swordsmanship, and Ruto spent some of her time sulking around the Milk Bar.

"You wanna buy a drink little girl?"

Ruto was about to snap back at the man, but she remembered she was a little girl now.

"sigh Yes please.", Ruto replied.

The man looked Ruto over, and poured her a glass.

"You ok little Zora? If I didn't know any better I'd say you were heart broken.", The man asked concerned.

Ruto just sighed and drank her milk. The door then opened, and a short-tubby Zora walked in and sat next to Ruto.

He stared at her for a while, and finnaly asked, "Are the fins damp lately?"

"Huh? Oh, yes, I'm fine.", Rutu replied.

"Do you live around here young one?", he asked

Ruto looked at him and said, "No sir, I'm just visiting."

He smiled and said, "You look just like the lead singer of the band I manage. She has been depressed lately, though and I'm not sure why."

Ruto asked, wanting to get her mind off Link, "Can you take me to see this band?"

The man nodded and started walking out.

"Wait, I have to pay for my milk.", Ruto requested.

The bar tender smiled and said, "Don't worry miss, it's on the house."

Ruto smiled and thanked him. While leaving Clock Town, Ruto met up with Zelda. She told Zelda were she was going, and Zelda told her to come back in at least two weeks. Ruto nodded and caught up with the chubby Zora. Zelda smiled as she saw Ruto found something better to do than sulk at the milk bar.

Then, Saria ran out of the archery shop with a man yelling, "This is for people to hone their archery skills, not to rake up on rupees!"

Saira ran and laughed as she made it to Zelda, knowing everyone was too intimidated by Impa to do anything to her or her friends.

"Can't stay out of trouble can you Saria?", Impa jokingly asked.

"It's not my fault he's going broke cause of my skills.", Saria joked back.

Zelda told Saira were Ruto was going, and Saira replied, "Oh, I want to explore this Termina too. I think I'll visit the Dekus. Mabe they'll let a friend of Link's in, since he seems to be well known around here."

"Ok, but met us back here in two weeks. If you need anything, try to contact me mentally. I may not be as strong as I usually am in magic, but I know I can still communicate mentally."

Saria nodded and walked off. Zelda and Impa continued to enjoy this new place, but Naboroo was having a hard time practicing with her sword.

"What do you mean more jumps?! I've been jumping for an hour now!", she yelled.

But the man just said, "You need to improve you jumping technique. For a pirate, your skills are relatively mediocre."

Naboroo shouted back, "I'm NOT a pirate! Is this how you people treat visitors, because I tell you Gerdues treat men better than this!"

"Gerdues?", the man asked, "Who are they?"

Naboroo remembered that she wasn't in Hyrule anymore, sighed, and said, "Never mind, just tell me what I need to do, ok?"

Then man laughed and said, "Improve your jumping technique."

Naboroo shot a glare at the man, put on her Silver Gautlets, and stormed out. On her way out, she saw two ladies dancing. She liked the moves, so she mimicked them.

When then ladies saw her, they said, "You a nice dancer, are you from around here?"

Naboroo smiled and said, "No, I come from a place called Hyrule, and thank you."

The three stopped dancing, and talked, since the dancers needed to take a break anyway.

"We are dancers in the annual festival.", one of the twins said.

"Festival?", Naboroo asked, hoping she hadn't missed it.

"Yes, it's time for our annual festival. We have it for a whole week ever year to give thanks to the four guardians of Termina."

"Wow, sounds like fun. Did I miss it?", Naboroo asked in excitement and hope.

The sisters laughed and said, "Nope, we still have four more days to celebrate."

Naboroo could barely contain the party animal within her as she said, "Then let's celebrate!"

The three laughed and one of the twins explained that they celebrate at night and she had to have a mask.

"Ok, I'll met you two here to night and I'll tell my friends, ok?", Naboroo said with a smile.

The twins nodded, and Naboroo ran off to find everyone. She managed to catch Zelda and Impa before they headed to the Stock Pot Inn for the night. Naboroo told them of the festival, and Zelda was ecstatic about the news, but Impa wasn't as ready to party as those two were.

"Remember princess, you have to have your sleep. I cannot permit you to stay at this festival all night.", Impa said with her usual serious tone.

Zelda sighed and asked, "Please Impa, can't I stay up just a few hours more for the festival?"

Impa looked at Zelda, and could sense she really wanted to go, so she said, "Naboroo, you look after her, and you cannot stay out past midnight unless they'll shoot fireworks a few minuets later."

Naboroo looked at Impa and asked, "You aren't going to the festival? You really should, I'd like to see what mask you can make."

Impa smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm going, but since you enlighten Zelda to the idea, I figure you should watch after her."

Naboroo's jaw dropped and she said, "Hey, I'm no baby sitter!"

Impa looked at her with a prety scary stare and said, "For the next four nights you are. So I suggest you keep an eye on the clock. I'm sure you know Zelda's lullaby, so putting her to sleep won't be any trouble at all."

Naboroo wanted to retaliate against this, but she saw Zelda wanted to go almost as much as she, so she just nodded.

"Ok, I'll look after her. You two can find things to make masks out of, and I'll find everyone else."

Zelda stopped Naboroo and said, "Ruto and Saira aren't in Clock Town tonight. I'll tell them about the festival, and they may return for tomorrow night."

Naboroo nodded and ran to the Stock Pot Inn to see Darunia. When she made it there, she told him of their plans, and he was excited to find out there was a party.

"A party!? That's great! I'll make a mask right away.", Darunia said with the enthusiasm of a five year old.

Naboroo smiled and ran to make her mask.

Before Zelda and Impa started on their masks, Zelda tried to reach Ruto mentally.

can you hear me?"....
