To Find The Future, Find The Past

Chapter Thirty

The Other Hyrule

Dark Link stumbelled into the fountain, his arms outstretched. He had been told that, if he touched a fairy in this fountian, that he would be completely healed. He nearly touched a fairy with his dark, distorted fingers, but he collapsed. He laid there, in the dark, wondering how Link could have sustained so many severe burns, and still be living!

He noticed, out of the corner of his eye, a stray fairy floating over to him, not seeing him in the darkness. He forced himself to stand up, and he snatched the fairy out of the air. She gave a squeel of protest, and complied with her duties.

Dark Link screemed in his agony. One would think that being healed by a fairy would be a pleasnt experience, but it was quite the opposite. He had to endure the pain of suffering all of the burns in reverse in order to heal all of the wounds. It was ten minutes of sheer agony. When the grueling process was over, Dark Link slumped to the ground, panting heavily.

It took a minute for his energy to return to him. When it was all over, and he was able to stand, he had never felt better. He strode out of the fountain, whistling a tune.

MEANWHILE

Link was convulsing. The doctors had no idea what was going on. From what they could tell, the burns were reversing, and then they were fading. Link screamed one more time, and then he stopped. He was panting heavily, and then he just went back to normal.

Link sat up, and looked around. The doctors stared at him in astonishment. He was completely healed. It looked as if he had never been burned at all. Even his hair grew back. His memory had completely returned, as well.

SOMEWHERE

Zelda groaned. She felt water dripping on her face at an alarming rate, and heard the tell-tale sounds of a storm approaching. With a squelch, she sat up in the mud, trying to wipe it off the side of her face. She looked around, and saw completely unfamiliar territory. She could hear the sounds of what seemed to be a mess hall not too far into the distance. Picking herself up, she began trudging through the mud towards the sounds.

By the time she reached the large wooden building, the skies had well and truly opened up, and the rain was so heavy that you could barely see out of arms reach. She felt blindly around for a wall, and found one. Running her hand over the wodden surface, she followed it.

Zelda walked into something solid. She stumbelled and almost fell, but she caught herself in time. Squinting through the sheets of rain, she tried to make out the shape of the thing that she just hit.

MEANWHILE

Zel sat up with a vulgar curse, and stretched her aching muscles. While she took the time to monitor her surroundings, she was hit with a huge sense of familiarity. She was home. But it was not as she remembered it. It was calm, and peaceful. Not a monster or soldier in sight.

What was more, she was clothed in a gown that she recognised. She was wearing a long, pink gown that clashed horribly with her hair, and her long brown locks were tied up with pale pink ribbons behind her ears. She looked more like a country bumpkin in a noble-woman's gown than a Princess.

Zel stopped for a minute to think about what being home meant. She could no longer call on Zelda or the Sages for help anymore, and Linn was probably still in the other world, getting treatment from the strange doctors that Zelda had so much faith in. She almost cried with that thought. She was sure she could survive without Zelda and the Sages, but she knew that she couldn't survive without Linn.

Zel stood up numbly, and began to trudge to a community hall that she knew was nearby. She had been walking for about two minutes before the heavens opened up, and rain came bucketing down. It soaked her to the bone, making her gown mould to every curve in her body. She was looking forward to a hot drink and a change of clothes.

She reached the centre, and began to feel for the walls. She was basically blind in the rain, because it was so heavy. Eventually, she ran into something. She saw the person stumble and almost fall, and decided to declare her name and status, in case they were hostile.

"I am Zelda, Princess of Hyrule. Who are you?" She demanded.

ZELDA

"I am Zelda, Princess of Hyrule. Who are you?" A familiar voice demanded. Zelda gasped, and put a hand up to her mouth.

"Zel?" She gasped. She saw the vague outline of a woman in a soaked dress through the rain.

"Zelda?" The same voice asked, confirming her thoughts, "Come. We must get out of this rain!"

Zelda and Zel walked through the rain to find the enterance to the hall. It was bustling with activity, distributing what Zelda presumed to be lunch. As soon as Zel opened the door, however, the entire room halted whatever they were doing.

"Princess?" One man stammered, dropping to his knees before Zel, "Princess, have you really returned to us?"

"Yes, sir," Zel said, as regally as Zelda had ever heard her speak, "If you do not mind, we are cold and are desperately in need of a bath and change. Would someone be as kind as to help the two of us?" For the first time, the people in the hall saw Zelda, following Zel meekly through the hall. Zelda heard some quiet mutterings in the crowd, all of them about her.

"... must be a harlot... look at those clothes... she looks just like the Princess... looks so lose..." She heard fragments of peoples comments in the room, as she followed Zel into a small chamber off the main hall. When the door was closed, all sound was cut off.

"What is this place?" Zelda asked, looking out the window. Zel followed her gaze and sighed thoughtfully.

"This is my Kingdom. This is my Hyrule." Zelda looked at Zel as if she were mad, "Don't look at me like that. It's true." Zelda nodded, and continued to stare. So this was the place that Zel and Linn had come from?

Well, it was more lively than her Hyrule.

LINK

Link was discharged from the hospital the next day. The doctors had conducted many tests on him and they had found nothing. So, they did what any normal person would do. They pretended it never happened.

On that same day, Linn was well enough to be discharged as well. They all helped him into the car, and they drove off to Nabouru's house for the night.

Tomorrow was the day when all three of the Sages on the outside word would come into Hyrule, to take on their old lives. Ruto would once again becone a Zora. Darunia would once again become a Goron. Nabouru would become a Gerudo. Once this happened, however, there was no going back. It was time to save Hyrule, Princess or no Princess, though Link's heart ached for Zelda.

SPIRIT TEMPLE

Ganondorf's mood had still not improved since the day before. He was still livid over the disappearance of Zelda, wanting her as his Queen when he finally took over the Light Realm.

He called to a random moblin to bring him a meal. Despite his anger, he did not want to kill any of his minions. It was one of those rare moments when he was not lusting after just anyone's blood. He wanted Angahim, and he wanted to torture him before he died.

He hurled another expensive goblet across the chamber, but this time, it did not impact. Instead, it acted like a boomerang, and flew back to Ganondorf's hand. He was sick of having to get new goblets every week.

THE NEXT DAY

Angahim made his way to the castle, destroying anything and everything that he came across. He wanted to make sure that he got to the castle quickly, to set his plan in motion. What he did not count on, however, was meeting up with Dark Link.

The Shadow being smirked evilly, setting himself up for the grueling battle he was about to face. Angahim seemed to know what Dark Link was going to do before Dark Link himself did. He drew his hand back to realease a powerful bolt of magic at the creature, but a mirror was thrown in the path of the magic, reflecting it back to Angahim, who teleported away just in time.

Dark Link looked around frantically for the one that had just saved his hide. He didn't see them... whoever it was. He assumed that they were not attempting to save him, but they were trying to save Link. He didn't care either way. He was still alive.

IN THE CAR

Link was getting impatient. He wanted to get home as soon as possible, and get to the Temple of Time. He wanted to find Zelda. Heck, he just wanted to save the world! He was out for Ganondorf's blood. He didn't know that it was Angahim that had created that spell.

They screeched to a halt on the edge of the forest, and they began to trudge into the dense foliage. Once they reached a certain spot, there were three beems of light that were headded for them. A red one, a blue one, and an orange one.

The red one envelloped Darunia, the blue one envelloped Ruto, and the orange one envelloped Nabouru. When the light subsided, the transformation was complete. All of the Six Sages were back in Hyrule.

Now all they had to do was find Zelda...

OTHER HYRULE

Zelda and Zel sat in the dining hall of the Palace, waiting for the six maidens of the Realm. They were to determine whether or not Zelda was dangerous. Zel had scoffed at the idea, but Zelda assured her that it was fine. The women walked into the room, took one look at Zelda, and fell to their knees.

"It is Nayru!" One of them shrieked, "The Goddess of Wisdom has come to us!" Zel gave the woman a quizical look, and then spoke.

"So, I am assuming that she passes?" She said half-jokingly. All of the maidens looked at her as if she were a loon.

"Of course Her Grace passes!" They said in unison, "She is the Goddess of Wisdom, and the Mother of us all." Zelda stood there like a statue, not sure what to say or do. Zel snickered.

Well, what did you think? Questions and comments are welcome.
