"Well," Sesshomaru began.
This Time…(Sheik's POV)
Here we go…
"I was walking down that path a few hours after you headed a different direction, right? Everything seemed fine until something strange happened."
'Pray tell, what could have possible happened?' I thought. Sesshomaru seemed to be lost in thought while telling me what had occurred.
"After a while, I heard a strange whizzing sound. I soon realized some sort of round object was headed my way, falling from the sky."
A round object falling from the sky? I think he's lost it…
"It landed on the ground right in front of me. But, it was fairly small. About the size of a pearl."
Pearl? Weren't there the three pearls of the goddesses? Could he have possibly found one? But, why would it end up here?
"It was a reddish-orange, with a symbol of some kind on it. It glowed like a fierce fire, and for a moment I could've sworn I saw a woman's face on it."
That sounded more like Din's Pearl. The other two where blue and green, but could the legends be true? They said the pearls contained the very souls of the goddesses, while their bodies where statues of stone, waiting for the soul to return.
"It startled me at first, and I continued to stare into the pearl. Though, nothing happened."
And?
"As I was still concentrating on it, that blasted dragon stole my blade. Probably in hopes of luring me into its lair to consume me. Naturally, I went after it and met up with you. And the rest I'm sure you know." Sesshomaru assumed.
"Do you still have this pearl?" I asked him.
"I think so, it should be in one of my pockets." Sesshomaru's hand probably went in every single one of his pockets trying to find the pearl. I couldn't believe this… My last two days had been tragic to… sad, really. How many pockets can he possibly have? Honestly, this is not the Sesshomaru I met earlier. Or was the one I met earlier NOT his true nature? Well, I could be serious, but I do like to have fun. Maybe he's the same way…
(A while later… Don't ask…)
"Not there………..no……..no….is that? No……"
As you can imagine, this went on for a while. I mean, even the villagers where returning and beginning to rebuild the village! When I was still in school, sure, some times they had us sit around and do nothing to test us, but… They only did that for about for three hours, and he was taking FIFTEEN! I had already gotten my yearly sleep last night, and just now I'm bored to death. ALL HE-
"Ah-ha! Found it!" He smirked as his accomplishment, and held it in front of my face.
(Sesshomaru's POV)
I held the little marble or whatever like it was the answer to, 'What is the meaning of life?' question. All he did was stand there. And all the trouble I went through to find that thing!
"Oh my god… I can't believe…" He trailed off.
What? What can't he believe?
"This is too… Well, I can't talk about this in the open. It's too risky." He stated, "Follow me."
…God, why was I even wasting my time on a person I hardly knew? But alas, this might be of benefit.
He led me toward a secluded part in the forest. While leaving the village, villagers muttered something about 'crazy demons' or something. Sheik stopped a moment, and then kept walking once more. I got a little bored and began to roll the pearl in my palm. It had to be pretty important for him to be bringing me this far.
Sheik suddenly turned around and spoke, "You really want to know why that pearl is so important?"
"Of course," I really should've just left… Curse my curiosity. I swear, it'll be the end of me yet.
Sheik sat down on a boulder that was fairly close, "Well, this is going to be a long story, so you might want to sit down."
"I have all the time in the world…literally," I inwardly sighed. I still had to ask myself why the friggin' hell was I doing this.
"Okay, then. Well, I am from a land called Hyrule. Long ago in Hyrule, three goddesses created the planet. Din, with her powerful arms shaped the earth. Nayru, with her sense of justice brought law to the land. And Farore, with her kind heart, created all beings to uphold the law. After their labors where done, the three goddesses returned to the heavens, leaving the Triforce behind in what is now called the Sacred Realm. If one were to obtain it, they could make a wish. If one with a pure soul where to make a wish upon it, Hyrule would go into an age of great prosperity. If one with an evil mind were to wish upon it, Hyrule would go into a dark age. There is more to the legend, and only my kind know about it. Would you care to hear it?" He asked.
"Go on…" Or rather, 'Please refrain from talking. I have no idea who you are and I would rather claw out my eyes than listen.' God, why don't I leave?
"Well, it turns out the youngest one, Farore, had turned evil. The other two feared for the land and returned. Though, Nayru ended up in another land called Labrynna, and Din Holodrum. Hyrule in general is and was the entire earth, but the one they meant to go to was the land of Hyrule that I'm from. Legends say a hero came to Holodrum and saved Din from the evil king Onox, whom she was captured by. Another rumor says another hero saved Nayru from the dark queen Veran, who had possessed her to travel through time and rupture it to change past events to her liking. Din had created the Rod of Seasons, and Nayru the Harp of Ages for the hero to protect. Now, I think the two heroes where reincarnations of the first Hero of Time who had saved Hyrule many years ago from an evil man named Ganondorf. The objects proved successful, so they moved on. However, Farore turned their bodies to stone and trapped their souls in two pearls, they didn't defend themselves because they didn't want to harm her, but her soul had turned dark with hatred. Ganon, as he was often called, offered to join her, but tricked her into the same fate as her sisters. And if I'm correct, that pearl just might hold Din's very soul."
"So you're saying a goddesses' very soul is in this pearl?" I asked. I wasn't really sure if I could trust him or not. After all, why did he hide his face with a mask? This just seemed peculiar.
"If I'm correct, it should."
"Holy crap."
"But the question is, how do we release her?"
"I can see why you didn't think it was wise to talk about this in the open."
(Sheik's POV)
Well, how to release her… Wait, the Triforce! Why didn't I think of this before! The three created it, so why can't it awaken her? I'd be like a Lon Lon Ranch Cucco waking Talon! But, what'd we do about her body? Great, just more junk for me to worry about.
Well, I'll just go with that and wing it.
But…how do I activate the Triforce? Maybe if I where to just touch it…
"What are you doing?" Sesshomaru asked.
"Testing a theory."
Sesshomaru gently set the pearl on the earth, and I outstretched my hand. The pearl shined even brighter every time I gained an inch until it held an abnormal glow. Just as I thought, the Triforce of Wisdom gleamed brightly. The pressure was immense, and I cut our nervousness by grasping it tightly in my hand. There was a blinding light, and I was thrown away along with Sesshomaru. Then, the glow dulled, until the sphere was floating in mid-air with small wings you'd expect to see on a fairy.
"Well, this is officially the weirdest day of my entire life." Sesshomaru whispered to himself. I was able to hear him, though. He sat up from lying down after the 'blast' had thrown him against a tree. And somehow, I ended up in a strawberry bush, but my foot was stuck. I tried to release it, but fell face first into the forest floor.
The reddish fairy, I guess you could say, fluttered over to Sesshomaru, hovering in front of his face. It didn't say a word, as if unsure of what to do. After examining him, it quickly flew circles around my head.
"Who are you?" A feminine voice asked.
"You tell me who you are first." I told it.
The fairy then flew in front of my face, and it seemed to be the source from where the voice was heard.
"I am Din, goddess of Power. You wear clothes of the Savior's…" Din continued, "Why are you wearing the sacred clothing?"
"Because, I just so happen to be the next Savior," I said cockily.
"How dare you speak to me like that! Why I-"
"You what? How would you even fight me without your body?"
"Um, what's going on here?" Sesshomaru asked, still leaning against the tree.
"What do you mean by that?" She asked.
I unsheathed my sword, so she could see her reflection.
"Wh-wh-….no……I….," The goddess stuttered.
After sheathing my sword again, I returned my attention to her.
"Look, Din, either you come with us or try to find your body on your own."
"Us?" Sesshomaru asked.
(Sesshomaru's POV)
I may have given Sheik, if that was his name, some respect at first, but why did he even dare say we were partners? I had only met him not too long ago!
"Let me tell you something," I began, then stood up and walked over to him. He looked confused, but I needed to put the friggin' idea in his head, "I am not your friend, or whatever you imagine me to be. In fact, I don't even know why I'm here!"
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"I saying that I, for one, am leaving. I don't need your petty partnership!"
"Well, fine. I've managed so far on my own," His red eyes flashed with anger, then he turned his back and headed the opposite direction.
I glared at him, and I'm sure he felt my anger as well.
(Normal POV)
With that, Sesshomaru walked off into the forest.
Sheik inwardly sighed, and decided it would probably be best to keep on moving.
"What? You're not just going to leave me here, are you?" The now fairy-ish Din asked.
Sheik stopped, but didn't face her, "One question. What's your problem?"
"What?"
"What. Is. Your. Problem."
"Well, I don't know about you, but it isn't all spring time fun and roses after finding out that you have NO BODY!" (DP- Heh. I made a funny.)
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Okay, I am so sorry this took forever. I never planned out what I wanted to happen.
I'll think out something to really create some progress.
Thanks for all the reviews. They keep me going!
