12th Entry: Second Dream
August 3rd, the 7th year in the reign of King Ganondorf I
Dear Diary,
Well, once again, here I am, up at some God-forsaken hour of the morning, writing in my diary. About a dream. Today is the seven year anniversary of Ganondorf's coup, and I can only hope (though I'm not getting my hopes up) that this dream is a good sign.
The dream seemed to start at the same place as where my last dream left off. The shadow had completely covered everything, even the ranch. It kept getting darker and darker, until I couldn't see anything, not even my hand in front of my face. It's a horrible feeling, it makes you feel claustrophobic and all alone at the same time. I turned around, hoping to be able to see anything, any kind of light.
And then I saw one.
It started at small, at first I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. But slowly it started to grow and brighten, until finally I realized the light was coming from Hyrule City. But, before I knew it, it left. It moved with incredeble speed, and went from the forest, to Death Mountain, to Zora's Domain, to Kakariko, and then to the desert. And everywhere the light went, the darkness seemed to flee. At first I thought the darkness disappeared completely; then I realized that it had only retreated (if that's the word to say) to Hyrule City. And the more the shadows went there, the more the darkness grew. Finally, once the darkness had been expelled from everywhere except for Hyrule City, the light went back into the city...and that's when I woke up.
I don't know if this dream meant anything, I didn't even see the end. But if my last dream was any indication, this might be the only hope I have left.
