Hello, sorry about the major delay on this chapter, it's just that I got a
lot reviews on my GoldenSun story, so it just motivated me!
Navi: So that's where you've been....
Yep, oh, and the chapter after this one might arrive late too, because I'm going back home next Monday! I need to change my profile; I might as well tell you guys now that I live in California. In Orange County.
Navi: Just like the movie?
Yes, everyone always says that, why? -- hey, have you been watching the TV?
Navi: Well, the pictures just appear in a box, how can I help it?
Whatever. Ok people, here's the fic!
(Creates the chapter out of black magic from weird elfin powers.)
Read on, readers! And don't forget to review!
Chapter Thirteen: Ghost
Zelda slowly followed behind Link, they had chosen a random door when they had gotten into the hall with multi doors, and she was having a feeling that they had chosen the wrong one. She could tell that even Link edgy, as they looked around at the empty portraits that hung around the walls.
"This place is creeping me out." Whispered Zelda quietly.
"It doesn't just creep you out!" Link whispered back.
Lale floated next to them, looking as calm as ever.
"It isn't so bad." She said to Link and Zelda, and she also looked at the empty portraits that hung along the walls. "But perhaps that is because I have been here for so long, that it no longer frightens me."
"You are right," said Kale from Zelda, that made Link jump, he still wasn't used to that. "It has been so long since I have been afraid of this place, after I died, it didn't really matter to me anymore. Strange."
"Strange indeed."
"I wonder what ever happened to that man who killed us?"
"Don't know, I can't really remember his face."
Link felt a sweat drop go down his head, theses spirits talked so freely of their deaths and who had killed them. Was that how he was going to be when he died?
"Hey," he asked them, Kale/Zelda and Lale looked at him. "I thought that when you died, you would go up with the Goddesses, why didn't you guys? And what about the spirits in the forest, and the ghosts in the graveyard of Karkariko Village? What about them?"
This time Zelda answered and Link for some reason felt a little better when she did.
"My guardian told me that it depends, it depends on what the Goddess decide. All spirits eventually go to Great Goddess, but there are some who had an unclean death, and they stay so that they can try and fix it within a period of time. Trapped spirits like Lale, Kale, and their friends were imprisoned, once they all reunite together without being trapped somehow can they all go to the Goddess. Some just want to stay, and so they do. Some are keepers of something and they must stay until their time has done or whatever they are guarding has been taken or destroyed. But most of the time if it has been taken they have to go after it, but sometimes not. And sometimes you have to stay until the Great Goddess say that you do, that is the case with the animal spirits in the forest. They have been waiting for centuries to go up to the land with the Goddess but have not been called. But every few thousand years, the Goddess call them all up at once, which is called, 'The Spirital calling of The Great Goddess.' They all gather at a Temple like this, only it's called the Spirit Temple, and that is where you go to be with the Goddess. The whole point of that Temple being there is so that it can act like a teleporter, so when the Goddess call you to go up to them, then you are guided there and then you are teleported.
But the bad thing is, is that if you are trapped and you can't escape it, then you can't go."
Link kept on walking quietly even after Zelda stopped speaking. 'She knows her stuff!' he thought as a grin crept up onto his face.
"What are you smiling at?" Zelda asked him when she noticed it.
"Well, it's just that you seem know the answer to every question that I ask."
"Oh, well, haven't you noticed that most of the time, the sentences begin with, 'my guardian.'"
"Not all of the time, but whenever they do begin with that, it usually sounds like some of those ancient fables. Kind of like the Sheikah, you know, those people who lived like a hundred years ago, and then disappeared?"
Zelda tried to hide a smile, it was true, some people thought that the Sheikah had died over a hundred ago, but some people actually knew of their existence. Most didn't though. And Link had actually meet Sheik, but he didn't even realize that he was a Sheikah!
"Why are you smiling?" He asked with a frown as they walked down the corridor, why did it seem like this place didn't have end?
"Well, my guardian is a Sheikah, her name is Impa. She actually leads them, so, I guess in your terms you would call her the queen of them. And there isn't a King."
"WHAT? You can't be serious, they are actually still living?"
"Link, have you ever seen a stone all the way out in Hyrule Field or at some other place and it has like this weird eye on it?"
"Yeah, but what does that have to do with the Sheikah?"
"Well, moron that's their symbol, have you ever seen anyone wear a symbol like that on their clothes?"
"No, and don't- hey, wait a moment, remember that time when I had first meet you and then ran away?"
"Yes."
"Well, I went after you, and then I meet this weird young man, and he had that symbol on his chest. He must have been a Sheikah!"
"Hit the jackpot. What did he look like?"
"Well, he had creepy red eyes; I could have sworn that it looked more like he had put a ruby in his eye though. He had a shawl over his face and it covered up the bottom of his nose and down, his hair was wrapped up but he let pieces of dirty blond hair fall out anyway. His skin was tanned, and his clothes were ninja like, and he was muscular. Well, not like me, but still. And when I first saw him, I was walking up to him to see if he had seen you, and then he like flipped up in the air and landed perfectly on my chest! I swear, you should have seen it, and then he grabbed my color and pointed a sword at my throat, and then asked me with this kind of voice, 'who in Nayru's sweet name are you?'"
Zelda laughed, that wasn't even close to how she actually sounded, and it looked like she had made an impression on Link.
"He was weird, and when he left, he blinded me. He was really weird. Hey, I just noticed something, both you and him say, 'Nayru,' instead of Farore. That's weird. And one time you even said, 'sweet Nayru.' Now that's weird."
Zelda bit her lip; she would have to do something about that. She looked ahead and saw that they weren't any closer to the end of the hall. That was weird, because it looked like the exit wasn't coming closer either. She stopped walking and found that when she stopped she was pulled back over to the entrance, the floor was moving backwards!
"Link, stop, the floor is moving backwards and so we aren't going anywhere!"
Link also stopped and looked around stunned when he moved backwards as well.
"But that doesn't make any sense!" He cried out as he gripped his fists in anger. "It wasn't like that when first came in!"
Zelda started walking again so she wouldn't go farther and then eventually hit the door.
"Link, its fine, all that we have to do is speed our pace up, and I was fooled as much you were."
Link started walking when he meet up with Zelda and nodded at her, and she could tell that he was getting control over his temper.
"Alright then Zelda, let's go faster, and hope that this thing doesn't speed up."
And just as they began to speed up, the floor moved as fast as they did, Lale looked at them as she hovered over the floor in the same place.
"Link," Zelda cried out as they ran forward and the floor just moved faster. "I think that you jinxed it!"
"So do I!"
Zelda took a glance back and saw that the door that they all came through wasn't there anymore, but instead a large monster with teeth just the same size as the monster that had nearly killed her earlier. In fact, that was that you could see, just the mouth wide open, waiting for its lunch. She grabbed Link's arm and put as much magic as she could into this spell, "Let me go across the wind and fly like a bird!"
She heard Link yelp at his first experience of actually feeling magic as she teleported them to the end of the hall, when they landed, the floor was still moving and Zelda had to instantly grab the handle and pull Link through with her. She slammed the door shut and then Link grabbed her arm with wide eyes.
"Why did you do that?" he asked her, and Zelda noticed the small tone of fright in his voice, and she couldn't blame him, it was an unearthly feeling that gave you goose-bumps after using it.
"You want to take a look what's behind that door?" she asked him as she pointed to it, he sighed and let go of her and opened the door. She saw his eyes get wide and then he slammed the door.
"Erase that, thank you for saving my life."
"Now I don't owe you a life." e gave her a weird look, and Zelda smiled, remembering that he didn't know the Sheikah ways. "In the Sheikah ways, when someone saves your life, you owe them a life, make sense?"
"No, but Ok."
She laughed and looked at him with shinning eyes.
"What I mean, is that when you saved me earlier when I was bleeding to death, I needed to do something for you in return that was life threatening, or something that you needed terribly badly."
Link gave her a weird look, and almost slapped him.
"Not like that, you pervert!"
"Well, it just crossed my mind when you said that, I wouldn't actually make you do something like that!" He replied innocently with his hands over his head like he had just been caught stealing something. Zelda smiled and laughed, he was brave in battle, but when it came to woman saying things like that, he would shyer she in a bath towel.
"Let's just get going." She told him and she put his arms down and looked around, it was a stair case, and above the stair case was an empty portrait. She kept her look strait, but recognized it immediately.
'Kale is this one of the rooms where one of your sisters are?' she asked through her mind.
'Yes! The oldest, we are so close! So close!'
Alright, I know, short chapter! But I only have one day until I leave New Jersey! Let me see, it's 9:26am right now, and I'm going to leave today on Monday at ten, so it was either chapter or no chapter! Because I've already used up all my time on the computer writing the GoldenSun fic. Sorry about updating that and not this, but I didn't want to have to finish that story back in Cali and not have any information from the past chapter. But as it turned out, I didn't have enough time to fish the whole chapter, so I downloaded it as it was. Ok, I have to go now! I promise to try and give you all an RRRREEEEEEAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYY long chapter for your waiting and then only getting a four paged one!
So until Next Time,
CrypticElf....
