THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: THE CHOSEN'S RETURN

ACT ONE, SCENE FOUR: IN RUINS

The sun was rising from its deep slumber and the stars disappearing into the daylight. Songbirds were singing, people were working and the bustle of the town began. It was Raine that proposed a trip to the Woodfall Temple.

"Alright," she said. "Let's go!" Genis and Lloyd were getting ready. Colette, however, was feeling very tired.

"Are you okay, Colette?" Lloyd asked.

"I'm fine," Colette said. "I'm just really tired. Could I stay here to rest up?"

"Sure," Raine said. "I don't want you feeling sick for the rest of the trip. Just go back to bed."

"Alright," Colette replied. "See you all later." And she returned to her quarters.

"I wonder if Colette is homesick," Genis wondered. "I hope she's okay."

"Don't worry about her," Raine said. "Let's just get to those ruins!"

"Anything with ruins involved, the professor is the first one out the door…" Lloyd replied. Raine slapped him in the head.

"Owwww….."

As the group headed south to the Woodfall Temple, they were unaware that a huge mass of mana was heading towards Clock Town. A notorious figure was perched on top of the Clock Tower.

"There," a voice said. "Now Clock Town is about to be destroyed."

"What is that?" a shard of Majora asked.

"It's the closest thing I got to a moon," the voice replied.

"How long will it be until it comes here?" the shard asked.

"In five days, it should come," the voice replied. "Now we should explain more about our deal. If I destroy Termina, then absolute power shall be mine. Yes, that sums it up."

"Yes, yes. Don't worry about that now. Soon after you destroy Termina, absolute power shall be yours," the shard replied.

"And how do I know you'll keep your end of the bargain?" the voice asked.

"You don't," the shard said. "You'll just have to trust me. Or what's left of me anyway…"

And the two conversed between themselves as the mass of mana got closer and closer.

"Incredible!" Raine exclaimed. "It's just like everything I expected it to be!"

"Raine, we didn't even get in yet!" Genis said. "What are we waiting for, let's go!"

"Are you sure about this?" Lloyd asked. "I think it was meant for us to look at it from the outside…"

"Nonsense!" Raine said. "We can't explore it from the outside, now can we?"

And the group made their way into the temple. It was dark, damp, creepy, scary and all those other words that would describe Woodfall. But Raine had her eyes lit up and thinking of countless elaborations of what the ancients did in Woodfall. Finally, they entered the last room of the Temple.

"This looks like a room that was meant for sacrifice!" Raine said. "I wondered what was sacrificed…"

"People like you!" a voice said from the top of the room. Everyone looked up. The jungle warrior was back and stronger than ever.

"You must be associates of the Hero of Time!" he said. "I won't be defeated that easily!"

"Hero of what?" Lloyd asked. "We don't know any heroes."

"Lloyd, I think this thing wants a fight!" Genis said. "I say we give him one!"

The group mobilized itself into battle. But as soon as the battle started, someone entered the room. He took a mask, wore it, and started firing fireballs from his sword. A few of them almost hit the group.

"Whoa! Hey! Stop!" they yelled. Finally, the jungle warrior lay on the ground, defeated. "How could I lose, again!" He disappeared. All that remained was the remains of his body. The man started to pull on his face and turned into a young boy.

"Who are you?" he asked.

"Are you, the Hero of Time?" Lloyd asked.

"That's what they call me by, yes," he replied. He took a glace of Genis. "Hey, you're the kid with the cup and ball!"

"It's called a kendama!" Genis exclaimed. "How dare you insult my weapon? Cup and ball, blasphemy!"

"That's a weapon?" he asked. "What kind of a weapon is a cup and ball, anyway?"

"A very good weapon that's what! That's it, he getting creamed!" And Genis unleashed some fireballs.

"Whoa!" the boy replied. "So this is the power that hurt my friend!"

"Friend? What friend? Are you talking about that assassin?
"Assassin?" he replied. "Is that what you thought of her? All she wanted was answers. Answers that I seek!"

"Well you can forget it," Genis said. "You are not getting a name as long as I live!"

"Well, okay," said the boy. "I'll get them sooner or later!" And he disappeared into the blue light.

"Genis, who was that guy?" Lloyd asked.

"And what assassin?" Raine asked. "Is someone trying to kill you?"

"No, Raine," Genis said. "Let's get back to the inn."

After the others made their way to the inn, Genis found a letter in his room. It said:

To the white haired kid with the cup and ball:

Meet me at the library at midnight tonight,

If you really want the answers to your questions

Genis thought about going to the library. He didn't want to go but his curiosity got the better of him. After lights out, he made his way to the library.

I guess curiosity gets the better of everybody! I hope that you enjoyed this chapter. Please R&R and find out what happens next!
