The Legend of Zelda
The Golden Land
Chapter Five
Link's Awakening
About a month ago.
In a long forgotten ziggurat, several figures crowded around a stone alter. A green clad
young man turned to his darker complected female companion.
"Can you read that?" he asked, motioning towards an inscription on the alter.
"Nope," replied the female. Another female and a small, wooden creature also tried to read
it, but were unsuccessful. If they could have read Ancient Hylian, they would have known that the
inscription read: "The Hero of Time and the God of Wrath. Forever are they frozen in battle. May
no man ever disturb their sanctuary."
The first female removed one of the six medallions from the alter. "Maybe these are worth
something," she pondered.
The other girl chided her, "You know, for the Princess of Hyrule, you really have no respect
for ancient artifacts. Put it back."
The first girl began to complain, but was stopped short as the entire pyramid began to
tremble and shake. She quickly returned the medallion to the alter and the group left the temple.
But the damage was already done.
As the footsteps of the explorers faded down the long hallway, the seal upon that temple
began to weaken and break. A crack formed on the face of the statue of the Hero of Time. A
similar crack formed on the statue of his opponent.
By the time the explorers had reached their landing boats and were headed towards their
ship, both statue figures were riddled with cracks. A golden-white light began to seep out from the
cracks.
With a great bang and a sudden flare of light, the statues shattered. Two figured collapsed
on the ground and lay still. After several minutes, the sound of ragged breath could be heard. The
eyes of both figures fluttered open. It took them a moment to adjust in their still dazed state.
Finally, the figures began to climb to sitting positions. Then they noticed each other. One of them
was less than pleased. The other gave a rather frightening smile.
The two figures glared at each other for several moments. Finally, the one with white hair
and eyes spoke. "It looks like your seal wasn't as permanent as you hoped, Hero." The figure
grabbed a large double helix bladed sword that lay next to him, and used it to pull himself to his feet.
The other figure also struggled to his feet, leaning on his own sword for support.
The Hero of Time and the Fierce Deity both stood motionless for a short while. Finally, the
demigod hefted up his sword to attack, but stumbled and nearly fell. The green clad boy smirked.
"It looks like you're not in too good of shape."
The deity glared. "I will recover my strength soon, mortal."
"We'll see." With that, Link pulled out his bow and notched an arrow. He had already
figured that trying to move towards his enemy would be a bad idea. Link fired a Light Arrow. The
evil god attempted to move out of the way, but was till clipped by the shot. A small gash formed in
his side. Unlike the sword wound the Hero had inflicted decades ago, this cut did not heal itself.
Link grinned. So the Fierce Deity COULD be hurt by Light Arrows. That meant that the Master
Sword would also likely be able to harm him.
The god of wrath clutched his side and cursed under his breath. He was not in any condition
to engage in a fight right now. This mortal might be able to beat him in their current state. The
demigod grinned. Their was always magic. He turned away from the Hero and raised his sword.
He swung a magic enhanced strike, which blew away a large chunk of the wall. Then, to Link's
amazement, the Fierce Deity levitated and floated out of the pyramid.
By now, Link had mostly regained the use of his legs. He raised his sword, preparing for a
fight. However, the god of wrath instead raise an arm above his head. An orb of magic energy
began to form their. *Crap!* thought Link. He pulled out his bow and reached for an arrow.
Unfortunately, the Hero of Time found that he had exhausted his supply of arrows. He swore under
his breath. The evil god continued to gain energy, and floated further away from the pyramid.
Link ran over to one of the other holes in the wall. He had a pretty good idea what that
magic blast was intended to do. To the Hero's surprise, he found only water below him. That was
strange. Shouldn't there be a desert there? Link turned back to his enemy.
The Fierce Deity finally collected enough energy. He was rather upset with how long it took
him. He was not back to full strength, plus that Light Arrow had hurt him. With a cry, he hurled
the ball of magic at the pyramid.
Link grabbed a small, blue gem from a pouch on his tunic. He used what remaining magical
energy he had left to form the protective barrier of Nayru's Love around him. Then Link jumped
out of the ziggurat. Maybe it was a good thing that there was water there.
The ball of magic hit the old temple and exploded. A massive blast spread out from the
center and consumed the entire island. The blast threw Link out, away from the temple and into the
sea a good distance away. Once the blast cleared, smoke, dust, and ash filled the air with the
remains of the cursed island. The Fierce Deity smirked, satisfied with the results. He turned and
shot away through the air.
Link finally broke the surface of the water, gasping for air. He floated there for several
moments, watching the wreckage of the island burn. Finally, the Hero pounded the water with his
fist. "Blast it all!!!" He had to find land. He had to warn the people. No, he needed the Master
Sword before he could confront the demigod again. But, for now, he just had to reach land. Link
reached behind his back and pulled out a mask. The mask had an elongated, blue-white face with
large eyes. It was one of the good masks he had collected on his trip to Termina. Now, Link was
very glad he had it. A human would not survive out on the sea for long, but a Zora would thrive
there. Link place the mask on his face, and transformed into a Zora. Trusting his instincts, the Hero
of Time kicked off and torpedoed through the water. This would be a long swim.

Now
Aryll sat on the topmost peak on Outset Island. She looked around at the sea which
stretched for miles. The setting sun cast a red glow on everything. A soft breeze rustled the young
girl's hair. She held several small, white flowers in her hand, and she absently hummed a tune
which Saria had taught her.
The others were all back down in the village. Aryll had been quite surprised to find out the
truth about her friend Saria. The green haired girl turned out to be the Ancient Sage of the Forest,
and was also older that Aryll's grandmother. It turned out that the "Forest Child" had been around
during Ganondorf's raise to power in ancient Hyrule and had known the Hero of Time well. Aryll
had also not know that Tetra was the heiress of Hyrule, the Princess Zelda. Apparently, the pirate
girl did not like to talk about that. Aryll figured that she knew some of the strangest and most
important people in the world.
Aryll did not even hear the footsteps behind her. She became suddenly aware of the presence
of another, as she was yanked into the air be a strong arm. She suddenly found herself face to face
with the scariest thing she had ever seen. It was not the most gruesome or horrifying thing, heck it
was vaguely hansom, but the lifeless eyes and the simple aura of evil were enough to make the
young girl nearly wet herself.
A merciless, pale, tattooed face with white hair and eyes scowled at the little girl for several
silent moments. Aryll trembled, but was unable to look away. Finally, the large man spoke. "What
is this place?" he demanded.
Aryll's teeth chattered in fear as she stuttered, "Ou-outset Isl-land."
The figures eye's narrowed. "I know not of this place. Where is Hyrule?"
Aryll blinked in surprise. "H-Hyrule?" The man scowled at her. She bit down a scram.
That wouldn't help her. "I-it's gone. It's at the bottom of the sea."
The man studied her for a moment, deciding whether she spoke the truth. He finally decided
that she was too scared to lie. That meant that the world had greatly changed. How long had he
been sealed away? "Very well," he said at last. "You will take me to a historian. A Scholar who
knows history well."
The girl thought for a second. "M-Mr. Sturgeon is a scholar. He knows a lot."
"Where is he?"
Aryll swallowed. "He l-lives in the village," she said, pointing down to the cluster of houses
far below the cliff they stood near. Lights came from the windows of most houses, making them
stand out against the darkening landscape.
"You will show me to him," the man commanded before suddenly hoisting her up and
clutching Aryll under his arm. The girl gave yelp of surprise. Then, she stared down in shock as the
stranger carrying her began to float over the cliff and down towards the village.
