Ocarina of Time: Rebirth
Chapter Twenty: Search For A Princess
It was about mid-afternoon when Link left the palace under Ronto's request. He was of course given his equipment back as he left, the Zora's being very polite about it. As he left he found himself with nowhere else to go. He knew nothing about this princess, where the Zora's would go or what he could do to find her, he had hit one huge snag. Link walked down the stairs from the palace knowing that he would have to return to Hyrule Castle and inform Zelda of this, she would most likely have a much better idea.
Link sighed as he took a seat on the stairs ignoring and being ignored by the passing Zoras, word was getting around quickly about the Princess and her disappearance. He somehow knew even without Navi to nag him about it that he would need to grab some equipment for the aquatic environment. He looked around his eyes eventually falling on the east section of the Domain. He then remembered that Camile, the female Zora he met earlier ran a General Store and Equipment Shop. Knowing that having an acquaintance may help he headed over.
Link walked into the shop pushing the heavy fish scale curtains to the side walking into the small shop which was alot like a small cave, but he could tell it was a place of business. He soon noticed Camile standing behind the counter a depressed look on her face, he walked forward and she looked up "Oh it's you again." Link looked at her a little concerned, at this point in his life it wasn't everyday he got a warm welcome. She sighed pointing to the news letter on the counter which spoke of Princess Ruto, the heir to Zora's Domain. She spoke "I don't think it's possible that you haven't heard, our Princess has vanished."
Link nodded as he took a seat in front of the counter where people would usually try to make out better deals with the clerk "Yeah I know. Zelda actually told me to come here and speak with her about a few things. I'm just the messenger." Camile nodded saying that the two Princess's got along pretty well, they weren't exactly close but they were friends to say the least. Camile shrugged "Strange. You don't know much on the Zora's and Hyrule's Princess sends you here. I don't mean to insult you." she said.
Link shrugged "I seem to have luck with royalty. They actually seem to listen to me." Camile laughed suddenly, Link was confused. "What?" Link asked really wanting an answer "Our Princess really isn't very reliable if you wish idle chat. She won't look at somebody unless she feels it is necessary." Link crossed his arms at this "So your basically saying she is kind of a brat." he said. Camile gave him a small glare "Most children are. But she can have a serious streak if it is needed."
Link shrugged again leaning forward "You speak as if you know her." Camile nodded at this placing a hand on the counter "I do. I used to be her attendant when she was a child, but since she can take care of herself she needs protection. I don't make much of a bodyguard, Ronto takes on that privilege." Link saw this, basically Camile and Ronto held the responsibilities toward Ruto that Impa did to Zelda.
Camile eventually stood "Look everything will work out. It always does, now then can I interest you in anything that you see?" she said motioning to the shelves. Link looked, there was a trident which he had no interest in as long as he had his staff. A Zora sword and shield which he also had absolutely no need as long as he had the Kokiri Sword and Shield. He saw a Zora Tunic but besides being far too big for him it was way out of his price range at 500 rupees. Then he spied something very useful, a diver's survival kit, it contained waterproof matches, waterproof flares, a few bombs with special fuses and some Zorian medicine.
Link however shook his head knowing he really had no need for something like that as this was surely the end of his quest and he wouldn't be needing such things if this went as planned but something told him to place money aside for it. He stood up asking her to forgive him as he left. Link spent the rest of the afternoon in the town, first of all eating and getting himself a room at the inn. He would have to wait it out for Ruto to show up. Link eventually found himself taking a swim, the water was warm and he didn't mind getting wet.
As he floated on his back looking at the ceiling of Zora's Domain he couldn't stop thinking about Zelda. Somehow after only knowing her a few days she had virtually captured him, just thinking about her made him dizzy and sent chills down his spine. Normally if anything he would expect himself to be with Saria, but still she was Kokiri, although she would age now that she had left the forest. Link had never really considered her any more than a best friend.
He soon found himself drifting under the waterfall just staying clear of the falling surf and the diving Zora's. Suddenly something was launched over the edge yet he didn't really see it, he saw a sparkle out the corner of his eye. It fell right above him as he squinted his eyes trying to see through the waterfall's mist "What the?" the next thing he knew he had been pegged right in the face by the object. He fell back and surfaced as he watched the shiny glass object get swept away by the current. Link watched the object float nearing the edge of the pool. It was a bottle but something was inside, it looked like "A note?!" Link gasped and swam after it.
Too late. As he got near it it was pulled into one of the vortexes and pulled down into the tunnel near the bottom of the pool. Link had seen Zora's enter and not come out all day, it was getting on his nerves. He followed as he watched the bottle get swallowed up by it. Quickly making sure he was ready he went after it but as he entered the cave it was all dark, the current started speeding up. He tried to grab the sides of the caves but it was moving too fast, he didn't know where it would drag him and certainly didn't know if there was any air there.
The current sped up until he was going unbelievably fast, faster than he ever imagined a mortal being could go. He kept his eyes open but squinted to keep the pace of the water from flooding his brain. He kept watching as he was about to lose his breath when suddenly there was light. Link was flung from the other end of the tunnel only to crash down into yet another body of water, crystal clear like in Zora's Domain but it lacked that fishy smell. He looked around and he recognized this place from pictures and books.
He was at the vast body of water known as Lake Hylia, he looked around spying several things. To his right was the Lake Side Laboratory, he had heard of this place before. To his right was a small pond that appeared to be a fishing hole and directly in front of him was an island in the middle of the lake. Link scratched his head "Whoa what a rush." he groaned. Suddenly something picked him up by the shoulders "ACK!" Link shouted as this happened. He looked up to see Keabora again "I told you not to be reckless. I'm heading back to the Castle. Get back to work Masters." he said before dropping him on the shore. He then flew off.
Link brushed himself off the water falling off of him. He then fell back against the shore line exhausted beyond belief, he looked up at the dusk sky and felt fatigue try to grab him. He got up his strength and headed toward the building, if he could get inside he would be able to at least rest without worry of monsters. He noticed an old man standing there looking up at the river that led to the lake, that led to Gerudo Valley where Garen had gone. Link couldn't move anymore and he fell just as the old professor turned to him. Link hit the ground completely unconscious fallen into sleep.
Link had dreams that night, and the same as they had been as of late they were full of darkness and nightmares. This dream involved Hyrule being over taken by a darkness where neither Link or Garen was able to stop as they were not involved. He also saw his friends: Saria, Malon, Darunia, Impa and even Zelda succumb to this darkness. Then the shadow of Gannondorf turned to him, his eyes blazed yellow while standing somehow above him was a shadowy figure in the shape of a human, about a decade older but he bore a strange resemblance to Link. His eyes blazed and the dream ended.
Link snapped into consciousness throwing off the sheets of the bed he had no knowledge of being in. He breathed hard as he went for his sword only to find he didn't have it he looked around to see an old man "So your finally awake. You've been sleeping since yesterday afternoon. I run this little place you see, let me guess you underestimated the Zora's tunnel and got washed up on shore. Or did those Gerudo not take kindly to you?" he asked. Link placed a hand on his sweating head "Uh first one." he replied.
Link spoke "Where is my gear?" he asked looking at the man directly. The man pointed to a table where everything was. Link jumped up and checked over his stuff, everything was there, including his two bottles of red potion. He quickly gathered his stuff up and asked how he could repay the man, the professor laughed a haggard laugh but Link knew he wasn't a bad guy "I only ask that you watch yourself again. Your a little morsal to the fiends around here. But judging by how you arm yourself you know how to survive." Link bowed in respect and left.
Link breathed in the mid afternoon scent as he walked away from the lake side laboratory and onto the side of the lake. He looked at the lake very impressed with just how clean it was, he could easily see the stone on the lake bottom. There was also a strange structure built into the side of the island in the middle of the lake. Link walked around ignoring the spider like creatures that roamed the lake. Suddenly a glare caught his eye but it wasn't just the sun. The light that penetrated the pond was reflecting something back into his eye something was at the lake bottom.
Link took a breath as he ran forward and dived into the pond, he opened his eyes and looked. It was the very bottle that had pegged him in the head, he dived forward and grabbed it in his hands, it was just like the ones he had received from Zelda and Malon made of very durable crystal. He quickly turned right-side up and kicked off the lake bottom jetting himself up. He broke water and allowed the life giving oxygen to fill his lungs, he then quickly got up on shore.
He dropped against a large stone structure and looked at the bottle it was in perfect shape but Link noticed something, something was in it. Link pulled out the cork and looked it was a letter. Link sat back and read over it:
To: Whom it may concern
You've got to help me. I've been swallowed by Lord Jabu-Jabu and cannot find any way out. Monsters are all over the place and I don't think I'll last much longer. Please hurry, you'll be rewarded greatly.
Princess Ruto of the Zoras ------------------------------------------------------
Link was shocked, their own guardian had gone and eaten their princess. Something else was in the bottle, it was a single gem cut sapphire earring. Link folded the note and pocketed the earring before slipping the empty bottle into the sacred realm. He nodded to himself "I've got to deliver this to King Zora as soon as possible." he declared to himself. Suddenly a chuckling came from behind and he turned to see somebody standing there, Link upon reaction drew his sword.
He turned around swiftly jumping back to see a man standing there before him a dark energy around him. He wore all black not counting the long crimson cape around his shoulders, his eyes were crimson and filled with darkness. His onyx black hair flowed past his shoulders and stopped around his upper back and shoulders, ending in blondish tips. He wore fingerless gloves and also had a sheikah style katana at his left side. Along with this was a gautlet on his left arm which ended out in sharpened fingers, obviously a secondary weapon. Link narrowed his eyes at the man pointing his blade at him "Who are you? Answer me!" he demanded. The man chuckled.
He spoke to him while it is not your business "My name is Vincent Dragmire. I've come to relieve you of the spiritual stones that you carry and take you back to the Gannondorf." Link threatened also brought out his shield and got ready. Vincent placed one leg behind him, this man couldn't be any older than eighteen and he was working for Gannondorf. The sword was very finely made and rivaled the blade of the Kokiri. Being a full length katana it was made for speed and swiftness, Link needed to be ready for this. Link gripped his hand around the sword and shield as this man awaited him to make a move. (For a visual think Star Ocean 3's Albel the Wicked)
Suddenly it hit Link "What the? Dragmire?" he gasped. Vincent chuckled ammused obviously "Yes I am the great Gannondorf's son. His very flesh and blood." Link was confused on two points and growled at Vincent's obvious lies. He stepped forward "I'm not stupid. I know that Gerudo males can only be born every fifty years. And Gannondorf looks nothing at all like you anyway!" Vincent in response threw his head back and laughed, the darkness in this sent chills down Link's spine. The man's very existance now began to scare the present optimism from Link's heart.
He composed himself and spoke brushing his right hand across his features "Well I suppose in this rare case I take after my lovely, the only think I inherited from my father was his body and ears." he said tugging at the rounded Gerudo ears. Link stepped forward "Your full of it. Gannondorf is far to young to have a son your age!" at this the essential prince of the Gerudos shook his head "Your obviously an uneducated fool, kid. Gerudos naturally appear younger than their normal years as opposed to your kind. While by your eyes, my father may look like he's in his late twenties, he is peaking at around forty right now. Do you honestly think he could have achieved such power and knowledge so quickly in life." Link breathed.
"What about." the man cut him off "And as for the fifty year theory it is all just an assumption. True that females over populate the males of our race, but usually the Gerudo's with great magical skill have male children. That and it may have something with my mother being a very powerful Sheikah warrior!" Link growled knowing that if all of this was true he was in a real jam. Between the magic that probably came with Gannondorf as a father and the obvious training he had recieved, Link was up against a very powerful enemy.
Link recovered himself and growled "Well I'm wrong. I don't want to hear your life story. Bring it on!" he demanded. Vincent scoffed "I'm not going to waste my time on you. I'm sure my partner will be more than happy to take what we need." Link looked over to a nearby fense see another of Gannondorf's people. But she was clearly different as opposed to the other female warriors. She was decked out in battle attire which also appeared to be of the Sheikah, her crimson hair fell lightly to her shoulders as she took stance. Two blades were on her back, obviously Gerudo baselards. Her dark red eyes locked with Link, she also appeared to be a half blood of the Sheikah. (For a visual think Nel Zelpher from Star Ocean 3)
She smiled at the young boy lightly as she stretched her shoulders "This shouldn't be too difficult." Link narrowed his eyes at the woman "Don't push your luck!" he shouted in anger. The woman smirked "There was a fool your age who came around claiming similar nonsense. Coming onto our land. How stupid can you be." Link didn't really register that it was Garen and got ready. Vincent chuckled as he placed an arm at her torso "Don't underestimate him love." he said. She smiled before leaning up and kissing the prince softly on the lips, she winked and he turned walking off.
Link growled "Don't walk from me coward!" he screamed hurling his boomerang, the weapon cut through his image but he had already vanished. The woman then attacked removing one of the swords and swinging it downward at Link, Link countered and swiftly struck her in the stomach. She leaned forward shocking Link as she fell over his shoulder. "Gullible light skin." she said before striking him hard in the back of the head sending him behind her. She then swung hard sending her armored leg into his side sending him tumbling. Link growled as he neared the pond.
He looked up at his advisary and noticed more of the Gerudo coming over the hill "Damn it." he then smiled remembering the tunnel, he took a step back "Sorry but I don't have any more time to hang out with you girls. I have one waiting and I need that accursed stone. See ya." he backflipped into the lake and swiftly dived. The woman was about to follow when another of the Gerudo caught her by the arm "Adriene! Don't! You know the sentence for entering Zora's Fountain, leave him be." she said stopping the Gerudo assassin identified as Adriene.
Link flew down the tunnel holding his breath, he soon reached the other side and was swiftly launched out. He found himself on the side of the pool back in Zora's Domain and quickly jumping to his feet started up the stairs just hoping that he wouldn't be too late.
Next Chapter: Jabu-Jabu's Belly
Link manages to get into Zora's Fountain and eventually meets Princess but it will take some doing to get her to go with him as she is looking for something and refuses to leave before she finds it.
(CHARACTER NOTES) Link: . I hate this part of my story.
Garen: Stop whining Link. Navi: Yeah he has the two girls and a guy thing going on.
Garen: It's a no brainer.
Link: But both can kick your ass and you know it.
Garen: Grrrr.....
Author's Note: Alright! LOL! I hate it when you beg. Just had a hard time thinking up a few more original characters. Namely the one that will play a major part in this story. Do tell me what you think. Read and Review.

She leaned forward shocking Link as she fell over his shoulder. "Gullible light skin." she said before striking him hard in the back of the head sending him behind her. She then swung hard sending her armored leg into his side sending him tumbling. Link growled as he neared the pond.
He looked up at his advisary and noticed more of the Gerudo coming over the hill "Damn it." he then smiled remembering the tunnel, he took a step back "Sorry but I don't have any more time to hang out with you girls. I have one waiting and I need that accursed stone. See ya." he backflipped into the lake and swiftly dived. The woman was about to follow when another of the Gerudo caught her by the arm "Adriene! Don't! You know the sentence for entering Zora's Fountain, leave him be." she said stopping the Gerudo assassin identified as Adriene.
Link flew down the tunnel holding his breath, he soon reached the other side and was swiftly launched out. He found himself on the side of the pool back in Zora's Domain and quickly jumping to his feet started up the stairs just hoping that he wouldn't be too late.
