Chapter 4: The Great Fairy of Destiny
The trio arrived just outside of the Ice Cave. They went in.
"It's really cold in here," complained Zelda.
"What did you expect? The cave is made of ice," said Zinc. They walked deeper into the Ice Cave, until they reached a large room with a chest high pillar of ice.
"This is it," said Zinc.
Link looked around the room. "I don't see anything," he said.
"Just watch," said Zinc. He unsheathed his sword and jabbed it in the side of the ice pillar. He turned the ice pillar a full revolution, stopped, and pulled out the sword. The pillar began to rise and when it finished had revealed a staircase. The trio walked down the staircase. They came into a large room with a fairy fountain at the opposite side of the room.
"What happened to that guardian?" asked Link. A huge ax swung down narrowly missing Zinc.
"You had to say something, didn't you Link," said Zinc. He held his sword and shield at the ready. Link did the same. The owner of the ax was a giant re-dead covered in armor from head to toe.
"Those who seek the wisdom of the Great Fairy must contend with the Re-dead King!" shouted the monster in a dry, raspy voice.
"Zelda, take cover!" shouted Link. He slashed at the monster, but the sword bounced harmlessly of the armor. "This could be interesting."
"Link use the Fierce Deity's mask!" yelled Zinc. Zinc put on the Fierce Entity's mask, and Link put on the Fierce Deity's mask. In a flash of power, the two were transformed. Their strength, speed, stamina, and senses all increased tenfold. The masks joined with their flesh, and the tattoos became their own. The tattoos Zinc received from the Fierce Entity's mask consisted of two blue arrow marking facing inward, one on both cheeks, and two thick red lines opening up across the forehead. . Their hair, eyes, and clothes became a pure white. They each now held a massive double helix sword.
"I'd say we just evened the odds a bit," said Oni-Link. "Let's send this monster to its final resting place." The Re-dead King swung his battle-ax. Oni-Link blocked the blow with his sword and slashed at the monster. The sword easily cut through the armor and flesh of the monster's stomach. For a moment, the Re-dead King buckled under the pain. Oni-Zinc used that moment to deliver his own slash decapitating the monster and ending its life.
"That was easy," said Oni-Link. He put his hands to his face and the power returned to the shape of a mask. He took it off. Zinc did the same.
"All clear, Princess," said Link. Zelda came out of hiding. Link went to the altar of the fairy fountain and played Zelda's Lullaby on his ocarina. The Great Fairy rose out of the clear war.
"I am the Great Fairy of Destiny. Those who have slain my guardian may each one and only one question, so ask and receive your answer."
"Who is to be the new sage of light?" asked Zinc.
"Malon of Lon Lon Ranch," said the Great Fairy.
"Where is the Fierce Angel's mask?" asked Link.
"Deep in the Unnamed Temple," answered the Fairy.
"What are Ganondorf and Scythe planning?" asked Zelda.
"They are planning to resurrect the dark god, Khimena," said the Great Fairy of Destiny. She returned to the depths of the fountain.
"Well that's great, we have to deal with Ganondorf, Scythe and the return of a dark god," said Link.
"Let's get out of here and go get Malon," said Zinc.
Malon was sitting in her room looking out her window. She thought about all the things that had happened today. Mostly, she thought about the fact the Link had a brother just as handsome and heroic as he was, even though Zinc had yelled at her earlier that morning.
"If I can't have Link, I'll settle for someone just as good," Malon said to herself, not yet knowing about Pike.
"Malon, would you feed the horses?" called Talon.
"Yes Daddy," said Malon. She went down stairs and fed the horses.
"Daddy, I'm going out for a short walk," said Malon.
"Hold on, Malon," said Talon. "Link, some other guy, and Zelda need to see you. They said it's import."
Malon went to see what they wanted. "May I help you?" she asked.
"Malon, you may want to sit down," said Link.
"Why?" she asked.
"Well," said Link. "To make up along story short Rauru is dying and you're the new Sage of Light." Malon fainted.
