Zelda was watching through the window, as Gannondorf arrived at the castle. He was wearing anevil grin as he followed the guard to the throne room where he would meet with the king.
"Announcing Gannondorf, King of the Gerudos." The large, engraved wooden doors that led to the throne room were opened. Gannondorf walked in.
Link, meanwhile, was busy sneaking past the guards. He had gotten a chicken from Malon, and he woke up Talon with it, who was sleeping in the way of the boxes of milk.
He snuck into the gardens. There were guards everywhere, but they were kind of stupid and didn't realize that he was walking right behind them.
He passed a statue of the king, and then snuck behind some shrubs to get into the castle courtyard.
Inside, it was the most beautiful place he had been, besides the Kokiri Forest. There was crystal clear water flowing in a stream that surrounded the courtyard. Flowers were growing in full bloom everywhere. The castle itself was made of snow-white stones, perfectly fit together.
The most noticeable part, however, was that there were two girls around his age looking into a window. One of the girls, who seemed to be the younger of the two, had very long dark brown hair that came down to her bottom. He couldn't see her face, but was sure she was beautiful. She was wearing a red dress that came all the way down to her ankles. The other girl, who seemed to be older, had beautiful blonde hair in an elegant bun. She was wearing a pinkish dress of the same length.
He walked forward. The girl with brown hair turned. As she did this, her dress and hair flowed beautifully and then landed at her side. He could now see that she had the darkest eyes he had ever seen. Even at his young age, he could see that she was verypretty. The girl with the blonde hair turned as well. She had the same color blonde hair as he did, and the same light blue eyes. Something about her just seemed magical.
He walked up to them.
"Hello, who are you?" Zelda asked.
"I-I-I-I'm L-L-L-Link…" he stuttered.
"Hi, Link. I'm Zelda, Princess of Hyrule. And this is my sister."
"H-H-Hi, I-I-I-I-I'm M-M-M-Meghan…" She also stuttered.
"…Princess of Hyrule as well." Zelda finished for her. Meghan gave her a look that said 'why did you just do that?' but Zelda ignored it. Link had this feeling that Meghan was somehow familiar to him, but he hadn't met her before, as far as he could remember.
"I know this may sound weird, but there is something I must tell you. Will you listen?" Zelda asked. Link nodded.
"I had a dream last night…it was a prophecy, like I have sometimes. In this dream, I saw a boy coming from the Kokiri forest, holding a green stone. Do you have a stone like that?" Link nodded again. "I thought so. But there was another part to my dream…dark clouds. And they symbolize- I believe- that man in there. I need you to gather all of the Spiritual stones, so that we can open the Door of Time, so HE doesn't get inside the sacred realm! Because if he does, he will steal the Triforce and the land will go into a time of despair."
She moved over so Link could see the man in the throne room. He walked down the carpet to the king, and then kneeled in an almost convincing bow. Well, the king bought it. But suddenly, he looked over towards them. Meghan jumped back and hid out of sight from the window. Link gasped.
"Did he see you? Oh, well. He has no idea what we're planning-Yet! Do you believe me? Will you help us?" he nodded again. "Good! The other stones are the Spiritual stone of Fire, also known as Goron's Ruby, and The Spiritual Stone of Water, also known as Zora's Sapphire." Meghan tapped Zelda on the shoulder then whispered something in her ear.
"Meghan says 'thank you and good luck.'"
"Thanks." Link said.
"Impa will show you out, so you don't run into any trouble with the guards." A Sheikah was standing on the other side of the courtyard.
"Most of the other races will not let you in their homes without being related to the Royal family. They will answer to this song." She raised something to her lips and played a song. ♫ , ♫. It was a beautiful melody that made him sleepy…He took out his ocarina and matched the notes. He played the whole song, and then looked at the ocarina.
"Wow…" he whispered. Impa started to walk and Link followed her. Meghan waved at him.
"Bye!" she whispered. When he was gone, she looked at Zelda. "So that was he?"
"Yes. You barely said a word! You should have talked to him!!"
"I…I think…that he's cute." She murmured.
"Really now? Well, one day we will let him know!"
"NO!" Meghan yelled. She quickly covered her mouth. The king and queen had heard a sound, but didn't know what it was so they resumed their business with Gannondorf.
"Come on, and be quiet." Zelda grabbed Meghan's hand and ran as fast as her dress would let her inside the castle and through its corridors, until they reached the outside of the throne room. Zelda dismissed the guards that were standing in front of the door.
"But the king and queen are not to be disturbed-"
"It's OK, we're not going inside." The guards walked to the end of the hallway and stood guard there. Meghan and Zelda kneeled next to the door and put their ears to it. What they herd was only muffled words.
"Can you hear what they're saying?" Meghan whispered. Zelda shook her head. Then Meghan heard footsteps. "I think they're coming!"
"They're coming?"
"Yes! They are! Let's go!"
"But I don't hear anything…"
"Come on!" But it was too late. Gannondorf opened the doors. He looked down at the two girls who were very small compared to them.
"Hello…what have we here?" he kneeled beside Meghan. Zelda took her hand and pulled her, but Meghan was staring into the eyes of the evil one. She knew now that he definitely was evil. He put his hand under her chin and lifted her face to him. "You are a beautiful girl, Princess Meghan."
Meghan was so scared she couldn't move. He stood and walked away, laughing. It was a laugh, that if you didn't know he was evil, you would think was a normal laugh, but they could tell it was evil. A malevolent, malicious laugh. Meghan fainted.
When she awoke sometime later, she was oblivious to the fact that she was now cursed, by the evil man. But not even he knew yet. By looking into his eyes, evil eyes, she had partially cursed herself.
"Meghan? Are you awake?"
"Yes." What, what happened?"
"You've been sleeping."
"I don't remember going to bed, Zelda."
"That's because you were barely conscious."
"Oh, right. We need to find Gannondorf."
"Why?"
"So he can tell me what he did!"
"I don't think he did anything. You just fainted."
"Well, we still need to make sure we know where he is so that he doesn't get the spiritual stones before Link."
"Don't worry, Link will get them before Gannondorf."
"So do you know where Gannondorf is?"
"He's either somewhere around here, or he went home."
"That narrowed it down a whole bunch. Gee, thanks."
"Hey!" Zelda said, giggling, "I was just trying to help!"
"Let's go find him." Meghan got up, out of bed. Her dress was still on, but her hair was a mess.
"First, you have to change your dress. You wore that one yesterday."
"Right, that would help." Meghan changed into a dark blue dress. Zelda had a light blue dress on. The top layer of her hair was in a bun, while the bottom was down. She helped Meghan tie her very long hair into a bun, with some of her bangs hanging down.
"There, now we can leave." Meghan And Zelda moved from Meghan's bedroom into her music room. (The castle has 'quarters' for each person or group of people Meghan's consists of a Music room, with her harp, flute and piano in it as well as some chairs to sit in on the other side of the room, her bedroom, and a bathroom.) Then they exited.
"So, how are we going to find him?"
"I don't know. We'll search the castle; first, I suppose to see if he's still around here. We can ask the guards." So, they went to the front of the castle, where the drawbridge was.
"Did Gannondorf leave here?"
"Sir Gannondorf," Oh great! Zelda thought. He was knighted! "Left here at 11:00 this morning."
"That was only about a half hour ago! We should be able to find him…
"But Zelda! How?"
"We can take the horses."
"But, how do even know where he went?"
"We'll just search, I suppose. He couldn't have gone too far, it takes a while to get to Gerudo Valley, even on horse if that's where he's going. If we take the fastest horses, we can outrun him."
"OK, I suppose." It seemed that they had traded places and now Meghan was the one who didn't want to confront him, and Zelda was the one who did.
