(A/N: Sorry I took so long to get this up, I'm posting this note here
because I'd like to clarify that I don't mind getting flames from people,
they are a good way to find mistakes and learn things for later when I will
need the skills. Just make sure you tell me 'why' I need to fix something
or what I got wrong, it would make it a lot easier to fix things, Cya.)

Chapter 11: Return to the past.
~~~~~
They'd been in the Gerudo's fortress for a week before they realized that they'd missed something. They'd been told of a special 'Eye of Truth', a looking glass that would give them the ability to see the unseen. It would be a necessary tool if they where to cross the desert and enter the temple of the goddess on the other side. Reluctantly they turned away from the fortress and rode back to the ruined entrance to the broken city. Standing outside the field they could feel the malice radiating from within evilly, yet they needed to enter the place if they where going to get back to the past as Link had suggested. Serephina was about to speak when Sheik's quiet voice broke the silence they'd kept since they'd left the fortress.
"I do not think that it is wise to enter the city at this time." The others all looked at him; the siblings' bright blue eye's asking the question they hadn't yet voiced. 'Why?' Sheik looked around uneasily for a moment before he put his head down and began to play with a loose thread in his sleeve. "......... I don't like the re-deads." He admitted in a tone that reminded them of a child who had been caught doing something wrong. Link Shuddered and nodded in agreement while Ranma merely stood beside Kasumi, looking confused, but Serephina.........
......... was laughing.
"Oh my gods!" She gasped out between ragged breaths. "You are afraid of 'Them'?" she burst into a fresh wave of giggles. Sheik looked at her almost resentfully from under his blonde bangs as the laughter finally faded away.
"Well what are you going to do about it?" he snapped softly, it seemed to be a rule never to raise his voice, no matter how much he wanted to. Serephina rolled her eyes and looked over at Link.
"Hey......... bro, don't you have that song?" Link looked confused for a fraction of a second before he remembered what she was talking about and pulled out the ocarina of time. He jumped over the water of the moat, using the broken pieces of the drawbridge as stepping-stones so he couldn't touch the murky pool below him and put the ice blue instrument to his lips before he began to play. The strong clear notes of the bright song of the sun rippled out over Hyrule, carried on the winds toward the sky, echoing the simple melody over and over long after Link had stopped playing. Above the dark clouds that had covered the sky where splitting, the light of the hidden sun suddenly stabbed down on the Re-deads in the town square beyond their sight, making them shriek in pain. The screams faded abruptly and Sheik stared as Link replaced the ocarina in its pouch and turned to wave them across.
"If we don't hurry the spell will run out, the sun's song won't hold them bound for very long." His voice seemed to break some spell as they hurried amid the morbid, bandage wrapped statues and into the temple of time beyond. The temple was empty and virtually untouched by the events outside. The three spiritual stones of the Kokiri, Zora and Goron races sparkled from their places in the alter and behind it was the open door of time. They didn't hesitate in getting there, rushing up the stairs to the small podium of stone. Link took the master sword off his back gingerly and looked at the slot before plunging the 'key' into the gap in the marble. The blue light that represented the flow of time rose up from the ground around them, sealing them off from the world before a bright flash signaled their arrival in Hyrule's past.
~~~~~
Ranma groaned and shook his head to clear it as he pushed himself up from the white marble floor. All he remembered was the bright flash of light that hadn't been there when he'd come from his dimension. Looking around he saw that the master sword now stood on it's own in the pedestal with a young boy standing beside it. He wore a green tunic and hat that did nothing to hold back the messy blonde hair that fell into his eyes.........
Wait a minute......... It was Link!
Ranma suddenly got the urge to look down and found the floor much closer than he remembered, but it wasn't until Serephina walked over to him that he realized what had gone wrong. She was really TALL!
"Aggggggghhhhhhhh!" Ranma managed to choke out at the sight of his giant sister. A giggle came from behind him and he looked around to see an eleven- year-old Kasumi laughing behind her hands.
"It appears that Serephina was the only one not effected by time travel." Sheik stated shyly from one side, bringing everyone's attention to Serephina and himself. Ranma fought not to laugh himself as he sited the Sheikah standing slightly behind the tall girl's knees. Sheik sent him a cool look before looking to Link, "So where do you recommend we should go to find this 'Eye of truth'?" Link looked at the floor again, thinking as hard as he could before he answered.
"I heard rumors in the future about it, an old man I met in Kakariko said that there was once a house where the well now stands, he said that the man who had lived there could see the truth. My bet is that it's somewhere at the bottom of the well." Serephina looked impressed, this had to be the most talking Link had done since she'd got to Hyrule. Ranma had decided then that he'd had enough standing around and began to bounce on the spot, getting a feel for his younger body.
"Hey!" He exclaimed loudly as he jumped a little higher, "how are we going to get to the bottom of a well FULL of water?" Link frowned again as he watched his brother jump level with the hilt of the master sword and land on its very tip. Link shrugged.
"I don't know yet, I guess we'll have to figure it out when we get there." Ranma rolled his eyes and hopped down before walking past him.
"Whatever, but can we get going? I Wanna see what this place was like in the past and this place is gonna start giving me the creeps." The other's merely stared at him, sweating slightly as he trotted toward the door of time and the temple beyond. Link shrugged again and followed with Kasumi leaving Serephina and Sheik to take up the rear of their party. Serephina looked down at the miniature Sheik then back up to the nearly hyper Ranma sighing.
"Why do I get the feeling that things are going to go very wrong here?" she asked thin air as Sheik tugged on the blue material of her pants to get her moving. Naturally no one answered, but the air flared around her in recognition of her concern. Serephina sighed again and walked with the others into the sunlit world of Hyrule castle town.
~~~~~
The town teemed with life that made a great contrast to the dark world the time travelers had been exposed to in the future. Ranma and Kasumi's eyes where wide with awe, an expression that Link had once worn when he'd seen the market for the first time. Serephina earned many stares as she slipped through the crowds silently, following Link and Sheik's lead toward the gates to the field. The Gerudo had warned her while she'd been staying at the fortress that she resembled them greatly and for that she might have trouble. Although they where honorable thieves there where still some who .........disliked them.
For a while they walked around as Link went about finding the things that they'd need on their short journey to Kakariko. Their horses and the Pegasus hadn't come with them so they'd be forced to walk the field. Serephina had found her way to the large fountain in the center of the square when a commotion broke out not far away. The red head felt sick as she guessed exactly what was causing it. Ranma stood in front of Kasumi who had accidentally bumped into a young group of hyilian children. They'd noticed her ears and began to bully her before Ranma had stepped in in her defence. Now there was an all out staring competition between the chibi pigtailed martial artist and the leader of the kids.
"What's going on here?" A fat hyilian man butted in on the staring match breaking Ranma's concentration. He made sure that Kasumi was behind him and opened his mouth to reply, but Serephina beat him to it.
"Those kid's where picking on my brother and his friend." She said feigning her pissed off demeanor, as she stood hands on hips before the hyilian. Ranma came and stood beside her, nudging Kasumi behind her legs and out of harms way. The man was now looking from Serephina to Ranma and back. They could just see what he was thinking.
"Ha! He can't be your brother! The Gerudo are a race of females and there's only one male born every hundred years and the king at the moment is Ganondorf Dragmire." He looked smug, as did the children around him. Serephina glared from beneath her red bangs, her blue eyes flashing with irritation.
"Who said I was a Gerudo?" She snapped back in a touchy tone, "Just because I have red hair it doesn't mean that I'm one of them. I've traveled from a distant land and where I come from kids respected each other as well as their elders." She could tell that Ranma and Kasumi had caught her lie, but they weren't about to spill the beans anytime soon. The man glared right back at her before he grunted and walked off. Serephina raised an eyebrow at the hyilian youngsters and they turned and fled. It was then that Link and Sheik returned, they had realized that there was trouble brewing and had tried to get there faster only to find the disaster temporarily diverted. By then even Ranma had to admit that it was time to move on.

So there you have it, the end of another chapter andisitjustmeoramIgettingworse......... /*shrugs/* hmmm well I suppose it doesn't matter that much I'm just happy I got this chapter finished, although I did get a bit sidetracked.

Avelia: /*Sweat drops/* you'd think she'd have gotten over that by now.........
Don't forget to review and tell me if something's up that you don't like!
