That was when Link saw the pedestal with the fragment on it. He picked up the fragment and placed it in his satchel. He then moved to the spot where the monster once stood. He picked up a heart container and walked right into the shining light. The light brought Link up to the surface where he had another vision. In this vision he saw a fountain with fairies playing around. After a second there was a puff of smoke and a huge blue and green face appeared. It opened its mouth and gobbled up all of the fairies in one breath. That was the last image that Link saw in this dreadful vision. After the vision, Link saw Impa. She wanted Link to know where the next town would be. She told him to go south to the villa of Desra. In this town there will be a guild that will help you in the next part of your journey. With her part in the aid in Link's journey done she departed for the portal in which she would come and help with more sword techniques and difficult maneuvers. Link continued on his adventure to the south to get to the villa of Desra. When Link arrived he couldn't believe his eyes because he saw hundreds upon hundreds of fountains in the central square. Link looked around for a sign of a key, which usually means that the place was home to a guild. Well, Link went around looking. What he saw was a shop, a pub, an inn, and some unmarked houses. None of them were keys. So Link went back to the central square and leaned against a tree. That was when it hit him. The images of the unmarked houses were marking one of them in particular. They were making a key and it pointed to a gray and white plastered house. Link got his belongings and ran toward the house. When Link got there he knocked on the door and sure enough that house was the guild house. They wanted to know how Link knew about the guild house because they hid it very good that you needed to look at the houses from far away to see the "sign' marking the house. Link told them that Impa said the guild house in this town would help him to the next jewel shard. They told Link that a red-cloaked man came through the town saying that he wanted to hitch a ride to the Lake of Eternity to throw away a certain item he thought was haunting him. They never saw this "item", but they wondered if it was something special. They never went to the Lake to see what the item was. SO Link wanted to know where the Lake was. They told him that it was to the west of here. They also branded his arm showing that he was a member of a guild. Members always get more info and cheaper items.
Link went along on his merry way to the Lake and saw how immense it was. The waters glistened with beauty. Link knew that this was Lake Hylia in the past. Link trudged into the water and swam to the central island. He climbed onto the piece of land and caught his breath. Link looked around and saw a lone dead tree floating in the middle of the Lake. He swam over there and climbed on top of it. Link fell off the log and drifted toward the bottom of the Lake. Link then saw a speckle amidst the darkness. He dove to the speckle and notice it was a switch. He activated the switch and there was a whirlpool in the middle of the Lake, which sucked Link down and into the next dungeon. As Link grew closer to the bowels of the deep he saw a mysterious light flash. Every second it seemed to flash closer until it flashed so bright that Link was blinded momentarily. Link felt a pull upward and felt he could breathe. Link could open his eyes now that the bright lights were gone. Link saw a hook switch that brought him to an air pocket in the rocks. Link looked around and saw beautifully crafted pillars with statues of beautiful maidens. Link knew immediately that this was the temple dedicated to the Royal Family and that it was buried long ago to hide a precious item of the Royal Family from the Great Evil. The seal to the temple was broken so Link also knew that his evil had snaked its way into the dungeon. Link saw a lovely princess in a painting. He fell in love and "glided" toward it. As Link came closer to the mosaic he spotted a slingshot target. He knew that there must be some sort of secret door or trap. Link took out his slingshot and fired a flaming rock at the target. When it hit it opened a porthole in the ceiling, where the old sage came down.
"Link you must be careful in this dungeon. There are hidden traps and unseen monsters hiding behind every corner. The place you are in now is the Temple of the Ancients. It was dedicated to the families who made the horrific journey through the woods and settled here in Paradise. Link there is an item, which allowed those families to see through the deceit of other people, they called it the Cloak of Truth. It allows the wearer to see any thing that normal eyes can't. There is also an upgrade to it. It lies in the future where henceforth you came. It is called the Lens of Truth. With both of these items you would be able to see undead people and talk with them. Don't forget to look where things don't seem right. Also there is a maiden still wandering these parts. I believe that she may be an important part of this quest. Don't forget to destroy anything that can be burnt with your gloves and the magical torch I will give you." the old sage spoke.
As with his other appearances he disappeared and left the magical torch as he promised. Link took it and lit the top. Then he placed a stone on the top. To his surprise it stayed there. When he pulled it up it replenished itself. Link thought great now something that won't run out.
Link put it in the sling shot and fired at the painting because knew that this was out of place. Link was right because the painting burnt away leaving a corridor in its place, but as Link walked closer he walked right into an invisible wall. Link thought to himself, " Oh great! I wonder what is this?" Link tried and tried to push the wall, but it wouldn't seem to budge. Link tried to walk to the left, but he walked into another invisible wall. Link then went in the opposite direction. Link walked down a little farther then where he walked into the wall. He walked into another wall, but now he had another direction to go to: the left of where he was standing. He kept on doing this until he was able to get to the corridor. When link walked through he turned around and saw the walls from this point of view, but if he walked closer he didn't see them. When he was on the other side he didn't see the walls from close or far. Link knew then he needed to get the Cloak fast. Link walked down the hallway until he saw a door. He opened the door unaware of the dangers that awaited him on the other side. He saw wizrobes plus tons upon tons of bats. When they saw Link they went right for him. Link started running, but he ran smack dab into a wall. As Link was unconscious the minions of the dungeon boss carried Link to a cell. When he awoke a man who looked almost like a skeleton startled him. Link tried to wake the man, but he was barely alive. When Link touched the man he saw a vision. In this vision he saw the man walking with the girl from the painting. After a couple of seconds the man told the maiden to run and hide. She did as she was told. As she rounded a corner a mob of monsters took the man captive and brought him here. In the last seconds of the vision Link heard the man mumbling a name.
"Zelda. Zelda. ZELDA. ZELDA! I will save you and bring you to the surface. Just wait for me and I will save you!" Then an eerie quietness shrouded Link.
He awoke with a start. Link shook off the dreariness and tried to find a way out of the prison cell. There was no way from the bottom so Link looked up and saw a flaw in the welding. Link pushed against the weak portion of the bars and fell down outside of the cell. He went around inspecting the other half of the room.
Link saw a lantern and a piece of paper. The paper said:
Dear Lord Wizrobe,
I have taken the liberty of locking up the pesky little boy. Sorry that I didn't get him fast enough... He has found one piece of the stones. I, no we have to solve this problem hastily because this child has some sort of mystical powers allowing him to find his way through the dungeon and to the keepers of the stones. I have tried many attempts at stopping this boy, but it is like he isn't mortal at all. Every time I tried to kill the little kid he somehow finds a secret item and triumphs over me. So now I have thrown him in a faulty cell to let he think he could escape from me. Don't worry me liege, I have done what you have requested: to lock the boy up with the sage. Sorry to trouble you with the letter, but it is the utmost importance that you know this: The boy knows about the robe.
Sincerely,
Moblin Guard
As Link read the letter the words, "...locked him up with the sage...", popped out to Link. The old sage he is right here! The one who has been trying to aid Link came to his fate in this dungeon. Out of nowhere Link heard a moaning sound. He knew it must have been coming from the old sage. He went to his side and knelt down. "Link, you must do every thing in your power to save the darling princess. She is hidden behind the 'gazing eye' and in the 'shiftless light'. Link..." as the last words came from his mouth he fell limb. Link had another vision. This time he saw another hideous beast. It had 15 eyes and 3 mouths. With a loud roar Link awoke again. He didn't know who or even what that monster was but he knew the he needed to rescue the maiden and slay the beast. Link went out into the room again. He looked for a door this time. He didn't see any doors or windows to escape through. He did see, however, a slight discoloring in the wall. . Link went over and tried to push it, but fell right on his face through the wall. As Link got up, he notice a picture of an open eye etched into the wall. Link went over to the eyeball. His touch left him with a feeling. A feeling like he was here before. Like something made him forget that he had been to the place. Another vision came to him, of him wearing a robe. He was in the Temple of Time. He had a very darkened feeling about the figure of him. As he watched the figure he saw the Door of Time open. Inside the Chamber of Time was the Guardian. He tried to pull the sword out of the Pedestal of Time, but it wouldn't budge. The shady Link went over to the Master Sword and lifted it like it was a feather. The "Shadow" Link gave the sword to the Guardian, who cracked the sword into three pieces: a wand, an amulet, and a joust. He then separated the pieces to three different guardians to keep the sword from being reunited. As the Guardian and "Shadow" Link laughed, Link was jolted awake. When Link opened his eyes he saw Impa.
Impa said to Link, "Link, you must remember what the old sage said. Also remember what I said to you our last encounter. Link you must hurry, the evil has spread to the future." Impa disappeared.
They grew to powerful so they had to be defeated by the magi, but something terrible happened before the magi could seal the sorcerers away: All of them concentrated their powers to summon a portal to the daemon world. Which allowed the Guardian to be unleashed unto the world. The sorcerers were destroyed in the summoning by the Guardian because he had no reason to keep them under his control. As the sorcerers' dead limb bodies fell to the ground the magi realized the Sacred Realms existence unleashed an unspeakable terror on the world. And because the sorcerers were so greedy to take the power of the Ancients they paid dearly. None but the magi know of the whereabouts of the last few sorcerers who inexplicably went through the trauma unscathed except for the madness, which set in years after the experience. They went mad in search of a cure for their delirium, but failed because they became greedier. They eventually killed themselves in the process. Leaving only more questions to the mystery. Like who were these sorcerers? Where did they come from? How did they acquire the knowledge of such a portal? And other such questions for Link. As we are left to guess only the magi know the true answers, as they were the last ones to ever see them alive. Any other survivors were persecuted for their beliefs and hung. As time goes on the dust settles over the empty graves we only know that they will return with the evil that they spawned, only to be spawned by that evil and be his minions..." As Link skimmed he pages he trembled with fear and hatred. He saw every thing that happened: The summoning, the resurrection, the war, and the portal. The portal, its vision had made Link try to forget the gruesome picture. The glowing red swirl, the bones, the screams, the bone structure, and worst of all, the Guardian himself coming through the portal, he could also hear the growls of the other daemons from which tried to enter the portal, but they were unsuccessful, except for one succubus, which jumped through the portal right before it closed. The magi didn't realize it at the time, but later they figured out that another daemon was loose in the world. They frantically searched for this daemon, but it was to embedded into the society so they couldn't figure out who was the succubus. After many years of torment and exile, the magi found a way to imprison the powerful daemon. There was a crystal barrier spell, which would encase the daemon and lock him away forever.
There was one flaw in the spell: if any of the stones, which were used, broke and or shattered the spell would be deactivated. They made sure to protect the stones in a magical box, which was cushioned so much that the stones couldn't shatter in the box. The box was placed on an altar to protect it from evil. Then the altar was sealed in a temple and the temple was sealed in the Sacred Realm. In which was sealed in the Temple of Time. When the Temple of Time was used by Link in his last adventure it was opened to the evils, which it was sealed from for ages. When the evil Ganondolf entered the Sacred Realm he unleashed the Guardian in the process of gaining the ultimate power, the Triforce. The opening of the portal to the past allowed the Guardian to enter the rip and redirect the travel of time to allow him to rule the world in the past. The rip also allowed the Griffin to enter the future and ask Link to help him, thus starting the biggest journey of Link's history. As things changed in the past they did so also in the future, thus explaining the strange disappearance of the Temple of Time in the future. When the Temple of Time disappeared from the Land of Hyrule the barrier containing the full power of the guardian was broken allowing him to wreak havoc on the land of Paradise. When the rip closed there was no way to enter the past unless the temple could be found in the past and then one piece of the Master Sword was in the hand of the true hero of Hyrule. When the hero enters the Chamber of Time the portal to his right time will be opened. It is not known which time that is. Only the true hero knows. As all of this clicked in to Link's brain he soon realized that he was the true hero of Time and of the Lands of Hyrule and Paradise. Link was putting more and more pieces of the big puzzle, which was called the Guardian.
Link thought and thought: What was my true past and future? Is this the place of the Great Hero? Was he the Great Hero? If so why hasn't he realized it? As Link pondered the questions he heard a voice in his head.
As Link listened, he noticed it was Zelda's voice, "Link, you must save me! I feel that I might disappear, too, just like the Temple. I might fade away into the past. Whatever you do you must save my ancestors because if any thing happens to them I might not be born or even exist at all. You must hurry. I think it might be too late for me, but you can still save the Land of Hyrule from the daemon. Now go find the Temple of Time as I am in it trapped. I don't know where I am, but I think it's the fabled Sacred Realm. I can't be sure though. Link GO find the STONES!" As those last words came it felt like Princess Zelda's voice was fading away.
Link hurried his way to the door of the study, which he just noticed had shut on him. He tried the knob, but it was locked from the outside. Link looked around at the bookshelves and noticed that only one book was left untouched by time. Link tried to pull it out, but it wouldn't budge. So Link lifted it up and voila the book came up a few inches revealing a secret door down. Link slowly descended the stairs so he could not be surprised with monsters. As Link grew closer to the door his breaths became heavier. Link was scared and he knew it, but he didn't let that stop him from getting closer to the door. Link slowly pushed the door open with his sword. What he saw he wasn't ready for: scores of daemons performing some sort of a ritual to a robe or cloak. Link knew what the cloak was; it was the Cloak of Truth. Link also knew he had to get the cloak from the daemons that surrounded it. Link thought and thought about what kind of distraction was needed to get to the cloak then he realized that the daemons were infatuated with fire. So Link took a pebble and enchanted it with fire then shot it at a banner. As the fire grew the daemons surrounded it with amazement. They began to congregate around the fire. As the last one left its post at the cloak Link made a run for it and grabbed the cloak and managed to put it on. He saw a secret door in the northwest corner and ran to the door. Unluckily for him a daemon turned around just as Link was leaving the room and spotted the cloak on him. He called the others and they pursued Link down corridor after corridor until he made it to a big door. As Link went closer to the door the daemons backed away in fear. They knew what was beyond that door, but Link didn't. As Link opened the door the daemons went running for their lives down he corridors in which they chased Link.
Link entered the room spying the Master Sword in the ground. He hurried over to it and pulled it up. As it came to the surface it blew away in a gust. Just as Link was dumbfounded the monster, which Link saw in his vision, came up from the ground and roared. Its name was Amoeba. It swiveled back and forth while yelling a tremendous scream. Link unsheathed his sword and did a battle cry. His sword was hacking and sawing the monster until all of his efforts paid off. The monster screamed when the last slice was given. The monster melted into the ground until it popped with one last bubble. This time something else fell from the monsters hide: a wand. Link wandered over to it and picked it up. While he was holding the wand he saw another vision, this time of a volcano. In this vision he was walking into the core of the volcano. He could feel the heat from the core. As he grew closer something stopped him in his tracks, a shadowy figure from the corner of his eyes. It crept closer and closer till Link could see its face: It was his own face, but as a reflection. Link froze and couldn't defend him self. The Dark Link as we will call him unsheathed his sword, Biggoron's Sword.
Dark Link started speaking in an eerie voice that almost resembled Link's owns voice. "Haha Link, the Master Sword has been destroyed and you will be too. There's nothing you can do about it. HAHA! Even if you do find the pieces of the Master Sword you don't know the ritual to bring it back together. It's only a matter of time before I will get you. Just you wait. Wait till you get to the future. Haha!" as those frightening words came out Link was trembling in fear.
As the Dark Link's laughs echoed in Link's thoughts he disappeared. Link can move again but he slowly walks instead of running. He was being drawn to the volcano's core. Like something was calling him from inside the depths of the Earth. As he grew closer to the chamber of the heart of the core he started seeing white smoke swirling around jolting from one place to another. These orbs as we'll call them were calling Link to save them. Telling him that they were the Ancients of the Land that they were captured here in the pit of the volcano. They started talking about the Guardian as he was called. "The name came from which he was the guardian of the stones, but when the demon was released he was possessed by the demon and the demon kept the name of the Guardian. The Stones were the stones, which we created for each kind of terrain. One for the Forest, One to the Desert, One for the Ocean, One for the Fires, One for the Shadows, One for Time, and One for Triforce. As the demon was encased in these stones for protection he was released. As the portal was closed the demon, which is called, succubus had escaped. She made herself look like any mortal, but inside she was a demon. As time went on the magi started to disappear. When the last one was left the succubus came out of hiding and it was said that she tortured the mage until he was dead. She leafed through the records to find where they hid the demon Guardian. She found where and tried to free him, but she couldn't. The demon tried her whole life to free him, but she couldn't and the three Ancients found her and banished her to the demon world again. As they told Link this he started to put more pieces into the puzzle as to whom the Guardian really is. After they spoke to him they told him to wake up and take the grip of the Master Sword, as it would help him in the future.
So Link jolted awake and placed the wand into his belt. He wandered over to the pedestal and took the stone that was on it. He went to get his heart container and left via the shining light.
