The Age of a Hidden Power

I, Koguma, am the outcast sister of the witches Twinrova. My sisters have seen my goodness and power in a vision, for they are Gannon's seers. Though they are only in their fifteenth year, they look as though they are much younger. Then again, the Gerudo race ages slowly. I live in the outskirts of town. Where no palace official or dweller went. For it was in the outskirts, they were no longer in their stronghold. It was here I kept him safe.

I saw as Wist approached my home on the outskirts of the plain. No one could understand why, but in the desert was this one area of lush and fertile land. Everyone thought it was a blessing, I thought it was a curse. In this desert, little known to the people, there was bloodshed. Over this land, many sacrifices were made by my sisters to make this land fertile. They even sacrificed our own mother.

I saw Wist coming up with one I saw in my vision. The girl with the power to destroy Hyrule. Or save it. She kept the piece of the Triforce that could easily be swayed to the power of good or evil. It was the choices she would make that would make the Triforce's true power form. I thought she was an illusion, a desperate ploy of my mind for things to be better.

But now, I knew. She was here to save the whole of Hyrule... Or destroy it. It all depended on who she chose... Or who chose her. Wist said:

"Koguma... My sister... She... well..."

I looked at him, for I knew he respected me, even more than he respected the King of the Gerudoes. I treated him as if he were my brother. My sisters were disowned... by me. I refused to be associated with them. Not after what they did to our mother, the one who brought us into this world. I looked at Kirjava, whose eyes showed deep thought... I knew she was thinking of how she deep she had fallen.

"Kirjava..." I started, "Your choices make your destiny. Everything... Now and later are what you chosen to do... Kirjava... There are two major influences in your life to come... One for bad... and one for good... It is your choice alone for Hyrule's fate... You will see in time... that who you value may or may not matter more to you..."

Kirjava looked on helplessly, she was lost and wanted guidance... Yet, the guidance she seeks was one no one could give her. The guidance was some she had to seek within herself. However, she wouldn't be able to find the answer she wanted if she only wanted to please others.

The lost and confused adolescent left considering her choices. Little did she know that her heart's purity could easily be tainted by the corrupt Gerudo King. Though... I also knew there was one who could easily purify her, and open her eyes to what she could awaken.

I heard small footsteps, and turned. My senses were as strong as ever, especially with her presence. I smiled at who stood there.

It was Preven. The one who may hold the key. The one who needed to open up his heart. For he too had to open his heart, but a broken trust kept him from it. I smiled weakly, his eyes could pierce into your very essence. Though, there were hidden with a deep hurt. One that could only be seen when it was a sunny day, and there was an eastern wind.

He had deep red hair that was short, and unkempt. His skin was tan, from hours for slaving away for the King's royalties. His body was muscled as it was scarred. I knew that it was from the beatings they gave him. The look I saw often on him was one of angst and grief, though when I did simple things like praising him, he beamed as though he were a little child.

I wondered what it was that made him so hard faced, and yet there were times he was much like a child. One who grew up too fast. He reminded me of Kirjava. Somehow, I knew that they would be able to understand each other.

For the next couple of days, Kirjava came to visit. Everyday, I saw in her face that she burdened with this choice. Over the few days I knew that she had and increasing fondness for Gannon. You could see the lust he had for her as easily as you could see the sun. She knew about this, yet it was wrong in her eyes, as well as mine. This man was the one who would destroy what the goddesses had worked so hard to purify.

I had noticed that Preven was slowly coming earlier than normal. Often, I saw him stealing looks at Kirjava. I knew that he wouldn't say what he truly felt, being one of actions, and not words. I knew that Kirjava was blind to this. She had already received news that Edagen had indeed died in the mines. Though, I knew she cared no more. All she had on her mind was him...

On my regular excursion to the market place, I had seen Kirjava. She was with him. The Evil One. The one who her allies were working to retrieve her from. She was with him, laughing as if it was normal. He held her close, glaring at all those who stared.

I couldn't see what it was she saw in him. That accursed man. He may have used his charm on her, Just like he did with the others. I knew that his intentions were evil, and wanted to tell Kirjava. But I knew she wouldn't care. Though she visited me, her eyes seemed to be light up with the happiness he was giving her.

However, a small twist of fate came along that even I hadn't seen. Kirjava had been practicing swordplay behind my tiny home one evening. Much to my surprise, I saw Preven walk in early from the market. I watched the two from my window. He looked at her from a distance before walking up to her. She was going to swing but he grabbed her wrist firmly. I was shocked as I saw that she was in tears. He motioned for her to sit next to him on the ground. She complied as the tears streamed down silently down her face. His eyes seemed to soften as he looked at her.

"Kirjava..."

"Preven..." she started, "I know I may have not talked to you much... though I feel so empty and lost. Every fourth moon of the new year... I know my parent's death anniversary is near."

"Kirjava...I'm sorry.... I know you have been through much pain... A pain that I may not share... but know... I pray to the goddesses that all may be well one day.."

"Thank you... but... Do tell me... What is this pain you feel..."

"It is one that was inflicted on me by one... Edagen... Once he saw that Gannon had so much to offer, he slew my parents in front ome. This very day too...."

"I'm sorry... Preven... May I ask you of something?"

"Anything..."

"Be here for me... No matter where I go and what path I choose... Please..?"

Preven suddenly began holding her in his arms as if it were his answer... I saw that she looked different...Scared... Yet so safe in his arms.... Whilst they sat in the moonlight, I saw the innocence that both forgot... But may have found... I smiled.

Maybe there was hope for Hyrule after all.
