The Balance of the Earth
Chapter 2: The New Oracles
By Son of the Specter
As the ages of earth passed the oracles grew old and the powers were given to a new generation. The new oracles were chosen and the originals went on a quest to find them to train them. Den and Nayru, the original oracles went through many towns and villages until they felt the forces changing. This meant that they were close. The new oracles were just discovering their powers. The closer the Oracles got, the more bursts of power they experienced. The seasons change from summer to winter to spring to autumn to winter again all in five seconds. Time stopped, restarted, sped up, went backwards and went to normal. (A.N. oracles aren't affected by the powers of other oracles)
The oracles found themselves in a deep forest when they reached the source of the magic. As they looked into a clearing they could see two boys in their early teens trying to keep themselves concealed. Din and Nayru entered the clearing and the two boys tried to flee.
My name is Din and this is Nayru. We want to help you."
The two boys stopped and walked towards the two original oracles. They stopped half way and screamed as if in pain. The snow on the ground piled up as a blizzard blew. Time went forward and backwards so fast that no one could keep track of when they were. The snow blew so fast that all four of the oracles began to freeze up. Din and Nayru decided that it was time to intervine. As quickly as the weather had began, Din stopped it. Nayru took control of the time-stream and brought it back to the present.
After a few minutes the boys calmed down. They explained everything. Their names were Josh and John. They were indeed the new oracles of seasons and ages. They had having outburst with their powers and were being chased because of it. Their parents disowned them and they were hiding from their village.
Nayru and Din understood and decided to take the two boys in and train them to control their special powers.
