The Legend of Zelda: The Lost Force

by Galar-maker

This is about the force that SHOULD be in the hole in the Triforce and its destined keeper... (YES I did read Leaviel's fic, NO I did NOT copy! I actually came up with this on my own before I read it. Not to mention, I'm telling it WAY differently.)

1. And so it Begins: With a Ticked Deity

The Legend of Zelda: The Lost Triforce

Author's Note: I DID come up with this BEFORE I read Leaviel's fanfic about the fourth Triforce. HONEST!! I came up with it myself—and I'm telling it differently anyway. Except for the idea about the fourth goddess' appearance. Phooey.

Once, long ago—so long that even the hills have forgotten—there was a void. A shapeless, dark, and barren waste of space and debris.

It was then that the three goddesses—

"Oh, MAN!!!" A voice rings through the sinister music and swirling fog, and and a multicolored figure steps through the gloom. The figure throws up her blue hands and sighs in exasperation. Her odd, three-colored (green, red and blue) eyes flash. All of her seems to stand on end, from her red hair to her green tunic.

"THERE WERE FOUR!!! Get it!? FOUR GODDESSES!!!!!! Sheesh. You'd think that someone would have figured out by now that there are four of us!"

But—the Deku tree—and—look here, every time that story's been told there are THREE goddesses!

"Really?" the girl asks, surprised.

Really.

"Would you quit talking without quotation marks please? It's bugging the heck out of me! I didn't help invent Hylian so you could butcher it!" she says, putting her hands on her hips.

I have to. I'm the Narrator. It's how we talk.

"Really," she says dubiously.

Really.

After a pause, she gives a grudging, "Okay. I'll let it slide, but just this once. And only for you."

All right.

A pause. Then—

"Where were we?"

We were debating the subject of the number of deities who created Hyrule.

"Ah. Yes." She pauses again, as though thinking, then says, "Well... if that's the only way it's been told in Hyrule--that there were three goddesses--my sisters lied. Didn't you ever wonder what deity ran the fourth virtue?"

What 'fourth virtue'? And I thought that you gods and goddesses were supposed to be perfect.

"Well, this is the Hylian pantheon. We're more similar to the Greek and Roman gods than others. We have our faults, but try to hide them from the world at large. Like Zeus... LONG LECTURE ...and that's why we have imperfections. And the fourth virtue is KINDNESS! Goodness, they knew it in Termina!
Anyway, I suppose I'll have to tell you how things really happened... That means I get to be narrator for the next chapter. Ha ha. You're not the only one around here who can talk outside of quotation marks."

Phooey.

Now... How did it begin......"
