7 Years Come and Gone

"Link , Zaila , wake up the two chosen by the Gods ." Murmered a soft voice . Link had no clue where he was , all he could remember was pulling out the master sword , someone behind him screaming , and then....nothing , it was like he had been asleep . His blue eyes opened blearily and he looked around him , he was in some kind of strange chamber , he was standing on a golden triforce , and everything around him was blue and shimmering , almost as if it was underwater . His eye was caught by a movement beside him . He looked around to see a very beautiful woman lying there . She looked very much like the girl he had seen earlier today , white hair , tied up in a ponytail , with two shorter bits trailing around the edges of her face , the eyes that were just flickering open were the same black , she even wore the same clothing ; a black tunic , with a white under shirt , and white leggings , black , floppy boots and black fingerless gloves . Perhaps it was Zaila's mother , or older sister , or something along those lines . She groggily stood up and looked around her . "Wh-where am I ?" She said , she looked around and saw Link , "And who are you ? You kinda look like that kid that I met earlier today , did you see where he went ? He looks pretty loaded , and me and Tairo need food tonight . If you help me find him , I'll give you half of whatever he has ." She said . Link didn't know what to say , was this woman trying to tell him that she was Zaila ?! That was impossible . "Ahem !" Said the soft voice again . Both of them looked around . A hugely fat man , with white hair , and wearing a long orange robe . "Link , Zaila , you two have been chosen by the Gods of Hyrule ." The two looked at each other . "Y-Your Zaila ?!" Said Link . "No Shit , but I don't have a clue who you are . I think this old man is crazy , cos I know that Link is only my age , ten years old !" "But , I am Link ." The man in orange laughed softly . "Hey , what do you think your laughing at old man ?!" Yelled Zaila . "I am truly sorry , I am Raru , the Sage of Light , Link when you pulled the Master Sword from its pedestal you were far too young to become the hero of time , so your spirit was sealed away for seven years , and Zaila , you were caught up init too , so your spirit too was sealed away . Look at yourselves ." The two looked down at their bodies . Zaila cried out . Instead of her small ten year old body , she could see a long , slim pair of legs which appeared to be hers , she had to lean forwards to see them though , because her chest also had grown quite a lot . She reached up to hitch up the bow and arrows , and sword which were still slung across her back , because of course they were too big for a child , and so she always had to hitch them up , but of course she found that she didn't need to , because now the straps fitted perfectly .

Link looked down , and what he saw surprised him too , he was taller , and adult muscled had filled in his arms legs and chest . The Hylian Shield which had been far too big for him when he pulled out the sword , now fitted nicely on his back . Navi flew around him exitedly . "Look Link , you big now , your all grown up !" When the two had finished examining themselves , they looked back at Raru . Zaila didn't like the idea of loosing 7 years of her life . "But , I don't want to be here ! I wasn't meant to get caught up in that blue light , all I wanted was some money !" Raru chuckled at her childish whining , after all , their minds still were ten years old . "Everything that happens was meant to happen . Zaila , you were supposed to get caught up and drawn into the Sacred Realm along with Link , and you were supposed to be the Second Hero of Time ." Zaila didn't know what he was talking about , so she waited for him to finish . "Let me explain everything , because I am sure you are very confused ." Said Raru . "Link , as you were the one to draw the Master Sword from the pedestal , you are the only one who can operate the time warp . Now let me tell you a little bit about this place , the Sacred Realm , and why your spirits were sealed away . You were too young 7 years ago , not nearly strong enough to take on the challenges that you must face now . But though you opened the door to the Sacred Realm in the name of Peace , Ganondorf was able to enter . He was able to reach the Triforce first . But because his heart was not pure , the Triforce split , and each section of it went to the person chosen by the Gods . As you were both caught up and brought to the Sacred Realm , that makes each of you Hero's of Time , and so the section of the Triforce representing courage , split in half and went to each of you . Ganondorf took the Triforce of Power , and using it he was able to invade and conquer the Sacred Realm , only this place remains untouched by evil . After the Sacred Realm , Ganon went back to Hyrule , and in seven short years , he has transformed your homeland into a twisted world of monsters and evil .Your task is to awaken my six fellow Sages , and add their power to yours , with the combined might of the Sages , and the hero's of Time , then we will be able to defeat Ganondorf and return this beautiful land of Hyrule back to its original state ." Link nodded , he understood ,and was ready to go . Zaila just scowled , she didn't want anything to do with this , she didn't even believe in this sort of thing . She had lost faith in the three Godesses long ago , if they really cared then they wouldn't have made her life a miserable one where she had to fight for scraps to eat and live like a rat on the streets . "Do you both understand your duty as the Hero's of Time ?" Raru asked them . "Link nodded . "We do ." He answered for both of them , Zaila snapped her head around and glared at him , hating him because this was all his fault , and at the same time , noticing how handsome he was....She mentally slapped herself , how could she think that , why would she be attracted to this stupid blonde freak ?! Raru smiled . "Good , now each of you must take this medallion , then my power shall be added to yours ." He gave each of them a bronze medallion with the symbol of light . He smiled , and waved to them as bright light engulfed each of them . "Everything that happens was meant to happen ." They heard his voice before the light got too much for them and they shut their eyes .

When they reopened their eyes , they looked around them . They were standing infront of the pedestal in the Temple of Time . "Hey , Zaila , do you really think this is seven years into the future ?!" Asked Link . "I don't know and I don't care ! All I want to do is go home !" She said , she turned and began to walk out , Link sighed at followed her , she was very beautiful , but also had a huge temper . Suddenly she stopped , and turned around , Link sensed it too , and looked over his shoulder . A young man was standing next to the pedestal , he had not been there a moment ago . Link drew his sword , incase this guy was an enemy , Zaila did the same . "I have been waiting for you , Hero's of Time ." He said . He came forward , slowly and stopped when he was only about a metre infront of them . "My name is Shiek , of the Shiekah . , Zaila did the same . "I have been waiting for you , Hero's of Time ." He said . He came forward , slowly and stopped when he was only about a metre infront of them . "My name is Shiek , of the Shiekah . ou two are about to embark on a dangerous quest to save this land of Hyrule . You must awaken the Sages , one in a deep Forest , one in a Firey Mountain , one under a vast Lake , one in the House of the Dead , and one within the Godess of the Sand , you have already met the sixth one , Raru . You must go to the Forest Temple , the Sage cannot hear the voices from the Sacred Realm calling to her , because of the evil in the Temple , she is a girl , I'm sure you know..But first you should head to Kakariko Village , go to the Graveyard . You must hurry , Hyrule is depending on you ." Zaila and Link looked at eachother , before quietly walking out of the Temple and away from the strange young man . When they were outside Zaila put her sword away . "What a freak ! Anyway , it was nice to meet you Link , I'm off , bye !" She began to walk away . "Huh ? Wait , Zai , what about Hyrule ?" She spun around . "Hey , Blondie , don't call me Zai ! It's ZaiLA , and as for Hyrule , I don't care , it was all your fault that my spirit got trapped in there in the first place , so if you will excuse me , I am going home !" She spun around and started walking away , towards the market , Link sighed and followed her .

When Zaila stepped foot in the market place , her mouth fell open and fear etched her face . The buildings were destroyed , they stood in ruins , but surprisingly there were still people dotted around the place , they looked very strange . She walked up to one , and stood close behind it , it had mottled brown skin and an expressionless face . "Umm , excuse me.." As soon as she spoke a piercing screech erupted from the mouth of the creature . Zaila tried to run away from it , but found that she couldn't move , it turned towards her , and reached out a clawed hand for her throat . Suddenly sweet notes filled the air , Zaila could not shift to see where they were coming from , but when the notes ended , the creature before her froze , ice covering its body . Zaila staggered away from it , able to move again , she looked around to see Link run the creature through with the master sword , and he did the same to all the other creatures . "Here," He said , handing her a creamy coloured ocarina . "You should remember that song , it can change night to day and it can also freeze zombies in their tracks . Take care of that , my friend Saria gave it to me ." He told her . Zaila would have said thanks , but she was still in shock . She slowly walked down the little alleyway , towards her home , Link following her .

When Zaila reached the flap of canvas she stopped and surveyed the damage , she fell to her knees sobbing . The canvas was torn and shredded , and the few possessions that she had were strewn , broken , around the area , a few pots some drawing materials , bits of paper , small things that she had stolen . She was weeping her heart out . Link knelt next to her , attempting to cheer her up . "Zaila , don't worry , we can replace all of these things , we can go to Kakariko Village and see what we can find ." He told her . "I don't care about those stupid things !" She yelled between sobs . "What is it then ?" He asked . "T-Tairo is gone ! He's probably dead by now . I-I promised him I would come back !" She wiped tears from her deep black eyes and tucked a strand of white hair behind her pointed ear . Link looked around , sure enough , the beautiful black stallion was nowhere to be seen .

Wild-Roze : Yeah , I know , not exactly a Cliffhanger , but u know .. In the next chappy Zaila cheers up a bit cos she meets someone she didn't expect to meet . But if she truly doesn't care about the fate of Hyrule , then what is Link going to do ? Please R&R this chapter and tell me what you think ! Thanks Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ! R&R!
