Chapter 2: The journey's beginning

(Yes, I finally changed the chapter name font. I couldn't in the last chapter after all that introduction stuff. Also, that horse is NOT Epona!)

As rain fell from the dark sky, Link rode on his horse. The rain made things harder to see for the horse and the Hylian Hero himself. As he kept on riding, the Hyrule Castle Town was near the sight. Link finally was proud of himself. He entered the castle.

"Whew! That was tough!" Link sighed of at least some pride. He then went inside quickly and went to the room where he usually slept as of being a knight. But before he did, he saw Princess Zelda's room opened, and saw her sitting on the side of her bed, awake. She seemed somewhat worried.

"Princess… Zelda…?" Link called.

She turned her face to him.

"Link…" She called back.

Link approached her, "Is something wrong?" he asked.

"Link… I had a nightmare… it's horrible…" She explained.

A nightmare? They predict what might happen to Zelda and Hyrule… wouldn't it? Link thought with lots of concern.

"Link… it seems… he's back…" She said.

Link was confused.

"He? Who…?" Link wondered.

"The Evil King… Ganon… this time in a much more evil form… I can't believe how much stronger he has gotten…" Princess Zelda replied about her nightmare.

GANON! Link was shocked.

"So what can I do? I would like to help…" Link offered rather generously.

"No… it's too dangerous…" Zelda responded quickly.

"Princess Zelda! Please listen! I must defeat him no matter how many times he is resurrected! I swear I succeed or die trying!" Link determined, knowing her dreams will predict that Ganon might appear.

Princess Zelda gave lots of thoughts. Was he strong enough? Can he do it?

But Link looked more determined for Zelda's request.

"If you think you must… I cannot stop you." Zelda said.

"I will succeed… for you, Zelda…" Link whispered with a smile.

They entered the Triforce chamber, where it rested peacefully. Link approached.

"Link, use the Harp of Ages. Though I cannot promise that the harp will come with you to the past, if you decided to take my request… you must…" Zelda explained with worried expression.

"Zelda, I will do this. Nothing will stop me."

He got his Noble Sword ready, along with his Shield.

"He doesn't seem to be in this era… but if I know correctly, you will travel 50 years from the past to another era."

"I see… So how should I play the tune?"

Zelda gave him the note and Link played. He was surrounded by a bright light.

"Link… when you get to the other era… good luck." Zelda prayed.

"Don't worry… I will be back." Link answered with a smile.

And Link disappeared.

Link woke up all of a sudden. He was in some sort of a swamp. He walked down the shallow ponds and explored around, getting ready for the Noble Sword for anything. When the pond got shallower and shallower, there were footsteps. He turned around, but no one was seen.

God, I must be hearing a lot of things lately. I gotta get my ears checked. Link thought,

He kept on walking off of the pond, and then there were many trees around, some were downed. He then felt as if something hit him on the head. Or maybe a little tap.

What was that?

He looked around, and when he looked down the ground, he reached and crouched. He picked up a Jewel Shard, which seemed pink.

This is new… but what is it?

He examined the jewel a little more. It faintly glowed, and it was completely pink, yet it seemed like a big shard was somehow broken into many pieces. Link was very confused.

Well, someone might have lost a piece of jewelry, better find an owner… still, I sense a weird power inside it… this seems kind of suspicious… could this be a clue about Ganon?

He put it inside his bag of money. When he did, he heard some hisses. Link turned around and wondered if there were snakes.

This getting more ridiculous by the minute.

Link stayed calm. Then he heard a loud roar behind him, and saw lots of monsters attempting to attack him.

"Whoa!"

He started slicing most of them with the Noble Sword he got from Raven, right before he went to fight Veran the first time. He sliced through as many monsters as he could, but more waves kept coming.

Alright, let's try this…

Link sprinted and did a Spin Attack, his ultimate move for his sword. He was able to perform it with the Triforce on his hand.

I can't be just surprised because I killed ten of them… in situations like this, ten more of them just keep coming.

Link tried killing more, and more, and more. Bloods of many monsters were spilled everywhere. Yet more just came.

Better run before I get overwhelmed…

Link ran away as fast as he could, hoping no monsters like those would ever attack him. He used his Pegasus Seed to go faster.

He gasped for breath.

What were those monsters anyway? I never fought any of those…

Link continued walking.

"Inu… Inu Ya… there's a Jewel Shard! I sense it!" A female voice was heard far away.

A woman?

"Right!" A male voice was also heard. Link concluded that the male voice was the one belonging to Inu Yasha as the girl called her.

"Wait! I sense it moving as well…" The female voice said as she seemed to be getting closer.

Inu Yasha unsheathed a large sword. But Link wasn't surprised. He attempted to slice Link, but Link brought his sword up and tried to attack back.

"Inu Yasha!"

The female voice was heard 100. It was a girl with long black hair.

"SIT BOY!"

Inu Yasha fell down to the shallow pond hard.

Now I'm REALLY confused…

"Sorry… about Inu Yasha…" The girl apologized.

"It's no biggy." Link accepted the apology.

"Alright, give me the Jewel Shard!" Inu Yasha demanded as he got up.

Jewel Shard? "You mean this?"

He got his moneybag and showed the jewel shard.

"Alright, give it." Inu Yasha grunted.

"Er- yeah…" Link replied.

"Inu Yasha!" The girl reminded Inu Yasha his manners.

Then some more people came. One was a robed monk. Another one was in leather armour and also had long air, but had a boomerang with her. A really big one specifically. Then there was a little fox like human, he thought to call it, and a cute little cat like animal.

"Wait… do you know where we are right now?" Link wondered.

"We don't know either… we only came for the Shicon Jewel Shard." The girl replied.

"Shicon… jewel…shard?" Link repeated, somewhat confused.

"It's a special master piece created by the demon slayers. But after a certain fate, it was broken into many pieces." The monk explained.

Link thought he understood.

"Hold on… so what does it do?" Link asked.

"Well, it gives humans or demons incredible power, whoever uses it. We are collecting these shards so no demons can collect them, especially Naraku, who is the most powerful demon of all." The Monk continued.

"Hm… interesting… but I really had no use for the jewel, really. You can take the jewel if you want. I have absolutely no clue where I am right now… heh heh…" Link said.

"So you mean you were lost?" The girl with the large boomerang questioned.

"More or less. I was sent by the princess of my homeland for a request. She thinks there is the Evil king Ganon is here… even after I defeated him." Link explained as he sheethed his sword from the little fight he had with Inu Yasha.

"Evil King…? HA! A little kid like you can't beat some Evil King! I bet I can beat him with my eyes closed!" Inu Yasha teased.

"Er- yes I did… do you recognize this? He asked as he showed everyone his left hand, the Triforce mark.

"What's that?" The girl who apologized about Inu Yasha asked.

"It's a Triforce symbol. It represents power, wisdom, and courage, after I was born from a royal knight's family." Link replied, finally learning that he wasn't in Hyrule right now.

"It's hard to believe though… you look too young to be a knight of the royal family." The girl with the boomerang commented.

Link did an anime style fall.

Aw man, I'm getting SICK of those comments… but stay calm…

"I really am… honest!" Link said with honesty.

"Whatever, we better go! We have to find the Shicon Jewel Shards now! We have no time to waste." Inu Yasha ordered.

"Er- sure. I have my own mission to do anyway…" Link replied.

"Wait! Why not join us? We can help you for this quest of yours… and we can use your help." The girl with Inu Yasha offered.

"Well, I can use some help. Why not?" Link accepted.

"Fine, just don't make any mistakes!" Inu Yasha grunted.

"Inu Yasha!" Kagome called rather as if he did something wrong. He did do something wrong. OBVIOUSLY.

"Well, if I haven't told you before, my name is Link." Link introduced himself.

"Oh, I forgot! My name is Kagome. Nice to meet you Link!" Kagome introduced in a polite manner.

"My name is Miroku. It would be an honour to work with you." The monk introduced himself.

"My name is Sango. Nice to meet you!" The girl with a large boomerang introduced herself.

"I'm Shippo!" The fox kid said.

These people sure are friendly… except Inu Yasha. Oh well.

Link, now having companions, walked with them.

Meanwhile…

Naraku, the foulest yet the loneliest demon alive, sat down for his next plan on attacking Inu Yasha. He had to see that dog demon die no matter what. Just when, a presence of a life came to him. He wondered.

"Who are you… a demon? Or a human?" Naraku's servant Kagura halted the stranger.

"That… shall not be told."

He was rather black figured and did NOT look human. Or a demon. He had an armour with him.

"I sense great evil here… someone with great evil with full demon power…" The figure said.

"That would be me. What do you want?"

Naraku appeared from nowhere.

"My name is Ganondorf. I came to assist you to fight this "Inu Yasha" character I've heard of from whispers of many people I killed. And I know of you after many demons and humans talk about you. If you promise me one thing…"

"What would that be?"

"You must help me defeat that one that defeated me…. Hero of Hyrule, Link. All I want is revenge on him." Ganondorf said.

"If I do… what will you do for me…?"

"I'll give you my powers… with my companions…"

He showed lots of monsters behind him. One more and the castle would be falling down, but they suddenly all disappeared into Ganondorf's hands.

"Sounds reasonable…"

And so, Ganondorf was agreed with Naraku. To defeat Link and Inu Yasha.

To be continued…

If you read the first chapter already, GanonDORF is because he is now in his new form, not just called Ganon. I know this isn't Ocarina of Time, so don't review about it please. Anyways, R&R please!
