Clash of Time and Wind
Chapter 8: The Legend of Time
"Alright, we'll tell you," Jan said. "It all began three hundred years ago. This evil called… well something like Genandarf."
"Shut up Jan," Jun-Roberto interrupted.
"Yeah, you don't know how to tell a story," Jin said.
"I'll tell it," Ivan said firmly and leader-like. "Three hundred years ago, a certain evil rose. His name was Ganondorf, but some called him the King of Evil. He declared war on a land that was once Hyrule…
Ganondorf looked at the ruins of what was once a beautiful village, "Heh, Village Hylia is destroyed."
His servant, a tall man, looked down at the ruins with his master, "Still, Lake Hylia remains."
"And I still cannot find the sacred Zora's Domain," Ganondorf said, irritated. "But eventually, I will find it. I might never destroy water though, pitifully, but I will take control of this lake."
"… He thought he could take complete control of the world, starting with the land that was once Hyrule."
"How do you know all this?" Link asked.
"Over the seas, we heard many things," Jin said. "We met a weird looking guy with a large sack on his back. He told us the story."
Ivan cleared his throat, "Anyway…"
"All of them, dead, all the men, women, and children," Ganondorf said with no pity in his voice.
"Will this be our base then?" the servant asked.
"It is too much into the open," Ganondorf said. "You Aghanhim will find the 'Chosen One' who is said to defeat me using the one thing I can't control, Time."
"Yes master," Aghanhim said, bowing and disappearing.
"… So that was his first crime, and this tribe called the Gerudos worked with him," Ivan finished.
"The Gerudos were his ancestors," Jun reminded him. "He was the first man born to them in a hundred years. Now, the tribe is wiped out, but Ganondorf remains."
"You mean used to," Link corrected. "I defeated him again six months ago."
"Yeah, how did you do it, by some stinking typical sword?" Jan taunted.
"No, the Master Sword," Link said smugly.
But soon, he lost the complacent expression.
"That's it?" they all said cohesively. "You'll need the Sword of Evil's Bane."
"That is the Sword of Evil's Bane," Link said.
"No it was," Ivan corrected. "It's not anymore."
"I turned him to stone!" Link contradicted, quite annoyed. "I saw it myself!"
"Yeah, of course he turned to stone," Jin said, rolling his eyes.
"But what if the sword was taken from the statue?" Ivan tested.
"Err…"
"It would disintegrate!" they all yelled.
"He'd return, and what a haven he has!" Jun yelled dramatically.
"Hyrule is his again!" Ivan said.
"Yeah, nice one, Link," Jin said.
"Who'd take it out anyway?" Link tested, trying in vain to contradict them.
"His servant, Aghanhim," replied Ivan.
Link was speechless. He spent the rest of the day in the Windfall Library, looking up on Aghanhim. Was he also immortal like his master?
