Clash of Time and Wind

Chapter 9: The Windfall Library

Link spent the whole day and most of the next in the Windfall Library at the back of town. He was looking through books on the Legend of Time, the librarian following him. Finally, after reading up on the legend, he turned to the librarian, "Do you have anything about a Wizard called Aghanhim?"

The woman stared into space thoughtfully, "Hmmm. I never heard of that name before. You seem to be looking up the olden legends. You might be looking for a very old name. Aghanhim doesn't ring a bell, I'm sorry."

"I need to find him," Link said urgently.

"Well, there's always the search computer," the librarian said. "Try that. This place has been open for a very, very long time."

Link tried the computer and typed in 'Aganim.'

Searching…

No matches found.

Did you mean, 'Aghanhim?'

Link retyped the word the way the computer spelt it.

Searching…

1 match found.

'Aghanhim was once a very powerful Wizard who tried pillaging the land of Hyrule. He was accused of murdering Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule, and bringing the King of Evil back from the Dark World. However, both were quickly defeated and the King resurrected by the Hero of Time, who lived near the palace itself ensuring its safety.'

Link smiled in triumph and relief. Aghanhim was defeated. Ivan was wrong. The Wizard was defeated. There was no way he could've come back. Yes. Link managed to convince himself.

That night, he managed to get some easy sleep. He rolled over peacefully, dreaming of a small boy clothed in green fighting a twin.
