**Mmmmmmmaybe I can make chapters faster now. *Sigh* Okay.
This chapter's hard to write. But you don't care.....probably. Because you just wanna read.
Guess what? Betcha'll never guess! I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY! So, here's the chapter.
* * *
Thunder crashed in the dark sky above the land of Hyrule, followed quickly by lightning. It was becoming dark.
In more ways than one.
On a black horse, the Gerudo King made his way towards the shadow in the distance. He wasn't alone, either. There were two Gerudo women he had brought with him. Someone would have to help him with the horses. And he'd heard that this so-called ranch had the best in Hyrule.
One couldn't very well storm a town without good horses.
Meanwhile........
A certain pair of girls were within that same destination, although very much unaware or what approached it. Yet, they wouldn't be for long.
* * *
"I hate thunder. It's sooooo stupid!" April said after the first thread of lightning lit up the room as if it were daylight.
"I didn't know weather could be intelligent in the first place," Malon replied. "Are you stallin'?"
April blinked. "Stalling? About what?"
"There's a book right there in front of you that hasn't been read except for the first page. Do you really intend on reading the rest, or are you scared?"
"Scared of what!?" April asked indignantly. "I'm not scared of any old printed piece of garbage!"
With that bold statement, April began to read to herself. And, she didn't get to any more than the first two words, again, when Malon interrupted her.
"Ahem!?" the redhead responded to the princess's silent reading.
"Oh," April said. "Here: 'My dear Princess of Hyrule....'Um," she stated.
"Go ahead. It's not gonna bite."
"'My dear Princess of Hyrule,' yeesh, that sounds weird, 'I am happy to see, if you are reading my writings on this day, that our prophecies were not incorrect in the aspect of this unfolding legend. Although the matter is trivial, my name is Vaiya, and I am (or was, to your timeline) one of the seers of the Sheikah tribe.'"
"Isn't Impa the only one left 'n Hyrule?" Malon interrupted.
April looked up at her and glared. "Maybe. This book must've been written like a few hundred years ago. I thought you wanted to hear this."
"Oh, right."
"'Although my visions of the future are sometimes jumpy and surreal, it was not difficult for me to figure out that there was an ominous feeling of danger and dread that our future would hold.'" April slowed down a little as she read this. "'Would, being the word to use. Would, were it not for the Princess and the Hero from the rhyme I'd heard in my dream. And unless you are incredibly dense, Zelda,' ......Hey!"
"Stop interrupting!" Malon said urgently. "This isn't a joke!"
"No duh!"
"Read!"
"Blah blah blah....'And unless you are incredibly dense, Zelda, you must have figured out from that rhyme and the current events that the Princess is you.' Really, ya think? 'Then you must also know the destiny which you alone must uphold.' Yeah, great. 'These are the matters at hand. And although there are many, many more details which need to be spoken of, now is not the time.'"
"Huh?" April and Malon stated at the same time.
April read again. "'Although, as I have told you, future events are often blurry to my, this one was crystal clear. On the night you read my book, something will happen if I do not warn you of it. It is urgent that you understand. There is something I want you to do something right now. I want you to remember the vision you had tonight.' Okay, this is getting scary."
"What vision? You have visions!?" Malon pressed.
"Hm, yeah. But how this seer chick knows about it, I don't know."
"Seers tend to be pretty good at knowin' the future, if not perfectly, at least to a certain point. Maybe vision 'n that stuff, since they're common to both of you, are picked up easily. Whatever it is; magic, destiny, Nayru only knows. But I think she c'n see them in her mind 'cause you can."
April stared at her for a second. "That came out of nowhere. Or, maybe not."
"Read," Malon commanded suddenly.
"Sure thing. 'When you do that, try to feel your subconscious. This is a technique that you will come to know in the future, I'm sure. This is something only I can help you with at the moment, however. It is possible for me to channel a slight amount of the energy you need to your point in time because I can feel it so strongly. I know it will come to you soon. And when it does, you will know what to do.' I have to wait?"
"Waiting seems pretty time consumin' for a pretty urgent situation!"
"I don't disagree with you."
At that moment, April tried to focus her thoughts on her vision. It quickly came back to her: the overview of Lon Lon, the red sense of danger, and the light. Then she felt that light, though an unfamiliar light, in her sensitive subconscious mind. Something inside her mind clicked, and she felt as if she were in her vision. She could feel a cold wind, and the thunder in the sky sounded and felt more real.
She tried to open her eyes, yet realized that they already were. She spun around, realizing that she was floating hundreds of feet above Lon Lon.
"ACK!" she shrieked. "Just a tad to bizarre for me!!"
"Ditto, here!" Malon said from somewhere behind her. April turned her head again.
"What the hell just happened here!?" April asked nobody in particular.
"This is pretty odd," Malon said quietly, turning fully to face her. "You don't even know!?" she screamed.
"No, I don't! I thought about my vision, and then BOOM! We're freaking floating in the freaking sky!!"
"Calm down," Malon sighed. "Okay, when you closed your eyes, you obviously were thinkin' about your vision. I was watchin' you, and as I was, I saw a tiny little dot of white light come outta nowhere and go into your forehead. Then, if I may quote, BOOM! Yeah, we're in the sky."
"You talk too much!" April said, exasperated.
"That's not exactly our biggest concern right n-" Malon abruptly cut off her own words.
"What?" April asked as she saw Malon quickly stop talking and look down. "Are you afraid of heights?"
Malon, completely missing the insult, simply said, "There's somethin' down there!"
"Of course there's something down there! The ground!"
"No! Something that's movin'! It's right outside of the gates, outside the ranch!"
"Really?" April didn't particularly want to look down. But she did, and when she did, she saw little black dots heading towards Lon Lon. "Little dots?" April asked out loud. "Come to think of it, those dots look like horses."
"Hey, all of our horses are inside for the night." Malon paused. "Ya think they're travelers?"
"Not likely," April said.
"Why do you say that?" Malon asked, almost fearfully.
"I suddenly have a really bad feeling."
* * *
Impa was downstairs inside Lon Lon's house, when something began to feel not quite right. She walked quickly up the stairs to Malon's room, where the two girls supposedly were. When she got there, she opened the door, only to find an old book opened to a page at what looked like the beginning. She could sense an ominous resin of magic that had been recently used in the room. She knew it was a fairly common type of magic among the Sheikah, a type which she herself had often used. What she didn't know was where it had come from, that is, who had cast it.
Zelda was certainly advanced in this field for someone who hadn't been taught in its ways, but she knew that Zelda could cast any magic. Purposely, that was. Unbeknownst to her, Zelda could use magic while she slept. That was mainly where her visions came from.
Impa walked over to the book, tilting it so she could see the words written on its pages. She only had to read the first three lines.
Vaiya.
She recognized that name immediately. She'd heard of this Seer before. She heard the name, and remembered its close connection to The Legend. She had supposedly been the first of any in Hyrule, or anywhere on the planet, for that matter, to see and then record visions of the upcoming disaster. There was another of her tribe who bore that name. When she was born, Monoka had felt a presence of the ancient Seer, and, as she had with Zelda, seen her role in Destiny.
These thoughts had come in and out of her head in mere seconds. When the Seer had said trivial, she had been right in using it now. Impa sensed something dangerous as soon as she had walked into the room. And, as she read further into the book, her suspicions were confirmed.
The Princess had had to use this magic to escape the situation, which you didn't do unless you were hurrying somewhere, or were trying not to be seen.
"Sweet Nayru," she swore as she shoved the book aside, not thinking about it, and rushed out of the room.
* * *
"What in the Dark Realm do you MEAN that you think those are Gerudo!? That's really bad!"
"Malon, calm down! We'll just have to, uh, I mean...." April stuttered to find a response.
"What!? Calm down!? How can I when you're the one who told me it was a bad thing if Ganonjerk or those Gerudo gals found out where you are!?" Malon's response only seemed to frustrate April more.
"Well, I don't know!" April sighed. "I'm gonna have to get out of here."
"A-duuh, ya think?"
"Don't mock me," April deadpanned. "But, what about Impa? I need her! What about you!?" April grew concerned.
Malon met her eyes with a lever gaze. "Listen. You're the one he's after, not me. Don't you think it's more important that you get away than me? And, knowin' Impa, it'll be no problem for her to find you."
"That's.....true, I guess. But, how can I run? It seems so spineless!"
"Would you rather be dead?" Malon's words sent a shiver up the back of April's neck.
"That's convincing. Do you tell that to all of your friends?"
"Not all of my friends are being chased by evil, psycho, hell-bent Gerudo kings."
"Lovely. Okay, I'm gone. To where, I dunno. But I'm gone." April surveyed her surroundings, again. There was nothing much to look at, except for an overview of the region of land outside Lon Lon. "Oh, goody. We're stuck."
Malon looked around, too. She observed the same as April. She began to walk backwards, a habit of hers when she was trying to think about something. Suddenly, it was as if she had felt an edge of this, whatever it was, that they were on in the air.
"Wuaa!!" Malon shrieked as she tried to keep herself from falling over the side. When she did get her balance back, she turned to April and said, "Oh, I wouldn't say that."
Several minutes later, and several shrieks from both girls after nearly flying over the side, they discovered that they were on an invisible platform, or what seemed to be one, in the air. There was a smaller path leading off to what seemed to be the area near Kakariko.
"Greeeeeat." April turned to Malon. "There's only one way down. I don't particularly feel like slithering my way all the way down to wherever that thing, the little path, ends. Plus, how do I know it even ends near the ground!?"
"How do you know it doesn't?" Malon imitated April.
"Shut up."
* * *
The King of the Gerudo sneered as he approached the gates of the shadow looming before him. He could sense that little brat of a princess even from here. He knew she was here, and he wanted to make sure she knew he kingdom was no longer in her hands. He wanted her to know that there was nothing she could do to stop him from taking over Hyrule, now that he had the Triforce.
What he didn't know was the Zelda was directly over his head, hundreds of feel in the air.....
* * *
Howsat!? Ya like? I don't know, you tell me!!
Let's get something straight before I cause confusion. According to my little mind, Ganonjerk doesn't know that Zelda has the Triforce of Wisdom at this point in the story. So, that means that he will find out later. Which will cause a really unfortunate coincidence, if all goes according to my plan of the story thus far....Oh, I've already said to much!! *Laughs maniacally* Sorry...
So, thanks for reading, peeps!! I'll try to update more often!! SUMMER'S HERE!!!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!
