OMG! This chapter came so easily! I can't believe it! I wrote it in one afternoon! I don't know how good it is, considering I'm too lazy to get a beta reader, but I'm sure it's ok. Not GREAT, but I'm sure it's passable.

As you can see, I've changed the title to 'Lost in Time, Identity and Destiny'. I came up with it as I was typing the first paragraph, lol. It seems to fit the story better than 'To Find the Future, Find the Past'. I mean, that one DID fit in the beginning, but this is SO much better!

When I started writing this, I had NO idea where I was going. Now, I know almost exactly where it's going. All that's left is the completion of the Fire Temple, the Water Temple, the Shadow Temple, and the Spirit Temple. Then I can get to the whole POINT of the story.

It's weird, huh? I'm thirty nine chapters into the story, and I still haven't gotten to the point... Really bizarre. I mean, there have been certain clues throughout the story about what I'm planning. There has been one thing in my mind the whole time. The box... I'm surprised that no one has asked about it. At least, I don't think they have! XD

Anyway, R&R!

Lost in Time, Identity and Destiny

Chapter 39

Another Change

A few moons down the line, Zelda and Zel were on the deck of the Pirate ship. They had just made land on Winfall Island. Tetra, Linque, and the rest of the ship's occupants had left the ship to go into town, leaving Zelda and Zel quite alone. Both of them were staring out into the night sky, their faces illuminated by the glow of the full moon.

"Zelda?" Zel said quietly, "Will we ever get home?" She had since started talking again, and was basically back to normal, with the exceptence of the odd nightmare here and there. Zelda was glad to see her back on her feet.

Zelda closed her saphire eyes, and cast her mind out into the unknown. She swam through the swaps of time, trying to find her way through the deluge. She had only vaguely heard Zel's question, and began searching for the answer. Would they? She came close to their paths in the great highway of life, but could not decipher any of it.

"Zelda?" Zel asked again, waving her hand in front of Zelda's face, and pinching her cheek. Zelda started abruptly, falling backwards onto her behind. Rubbing her sore backside, Zelda sighed.

"I don't know, Zel..." She said quietly, "I really don't know..." She looked towards town, where she knew the Pirates were celebrating Linque and Tetra's anniversary. She could hear the cheering and whistling. She even caught parts of a drunken ballard the Pirates were singing here and there.

The two of them stood there like that, next to each other, staring out into the horizon, deep in their own little worlds. Zelda was dreaming of the day she was thrown into all of this mess, and Zel was thinking of how much she wanted to be home.

"I have an idea." Zelda said suddenly.

HYRULE

Link and Linn were still in Goron City. Linn had since recovered from his encounter in the Fire Temple, and was just doing a little training with Link before trying to tackle the Temple again.

"We'll leave tomorrow?" Linn confirmed with Link, after one of their training sessions. Link simply nodded, a fire alight in his eerily intense eyes. Since he had discovered that it was actually Angahim that had made Zelda disappear, he seemed to have a personal vendetta against him. It took Linn, Ruto, Impa, and Nabooru to convince him to stay in hiding.

It was no longer a secret that Angahim and Ganondorf were gaining power. Angahim had since taken over Kakariko village, and the Market Town. Ganondorf had expanded his territory to the borders of Angahim's, completely taking over the Gerudo Valley, and at least half of the Forest. Impa visited the Forest Temple the week before, an had confirmed that the Kokiri were indeed safe from Ganondorf's rule.

There were whispers of a new enemy, as well. Impa had overheard the Kokiri talking about a woman named Zarina. Apparently, she had teamed up with Dark Link, and they were steadily turning Angahim and Ganondorf's minions against themselves. While this seemed good for Link and Linn, Link had a sneaking suspicion that, if Dark Link was in any way involved with her, then she was up to no good.

Trudging through the dark tunnels of Goron City, Link and Linn began to feel a prickle of unease. Where was everyone? They had been a little way down the mountain, training in Dodongo's Cavern. A roar sounded deep within the bowels of the city. Link raced the the sounds, deeply troubled. Linn followed at equal speed.

"Oh, Goddesses..." Linn uttered, completely horrified. Ganondorf was in the very centre of the village, with Volvagia, the dragon.

"I thought Volvagia was dead?" Linn muttered to Link, who shushed him quickly.

"What?" Ganondorf bellowed, "What do you mean they aren't here? I was told that they were hiding here!" The dragon thrashed around, clearly distressed. Ganondorf turned to look where Link and Linn were, a level up. Sensing danger, Linn pulled himself and Link back, ducking behind a few boulders.

Ganondorf's footsteps echoed through the deserted city, coming ever closer to their hiding place. Link and Linn waited with baited breath for him to find them. They could see his feet through the crack at the bottom of the boulder. He was right in front of them.

"Hello, boys..." Ganondorf said silkily, "I believe I have something you want..." Link and Linn straightened up, swords drawn.

"Not today, boys..." Ganondorf said smoothly, eyeing their blades, "Not today... I have a proposition for you." Link took a defensive stance, while Linn faltered a little bit.

"We're listening." Link said curtly, from behind his shield.

"Well..." Ganondorf said offhandedly, "We both want Angahim dead, do we not?" Ganondorf began.

"I thought he was your ally?" Link said cautiously, never lowering either his sword or shield. Ganondorf grimaced.

"Once upon a time, a few moons ago, he was." Ganondorf said maliciously, "But he is no longer. I come here today to offer you a deal... You help me get rid of Angahim, and I will spare your lives..." Link and Linn did not move. Both of them were full of distrust.

"How can we trust you?" Link demanded. Ganondorf dropped down a level. Smirking over his shoulder, he tossed two things up at them. Link caught the medallion, and Linn caught the key.

"I'm willing to sacrifice my minons to get rid of Angahim." Ganondorf said darkly, directing a bolt of desturctive energy from his hands. It came right for their faces. Forcing Linn into the ground, Link ducked just in time. He was right. Ganondorf had only wanted to kill them.

There was a horrible gurgling sound from behind them. Turning, they saw Volvagia. It had been hit with the energy bolt. The dragon burst into flames, and died with a horrible moan of anguish.

"Do we have a deal?" Link froze.

"Yes..." He said quietly, not sure if they were doing the right thing.

GREAT SEA

"Are you sure about this?" Zel asked Zelda nervously, "I mean... Isn't this a bit..."

"I'm positive." Zelda said firmly, "Don't worry, Zel... I know exactly what I'm doing!"

"If you say so..." Zel muttered to herself, following Zelda into the boat, "I just think that we should ask for help..."

"Zel," Zelda said sternly, "I know exactly what I'm doing. Just do as I say, and we'll be fine!"

"Ok..." Zel said uneasily, "What do you want me to do?"

"Hold on to the boat," Zelda instructed, doing the same, "And close your eyes. I need you to think of the Queen of Faries... Like, really concerntrate on her..."

Zel felt the boat float out of the water. In a dizzying spell, Zel felt herself be transported from one part of the sea to another. Opening their eyes, they saw that they were in some kind of hollow. Zel bit her lip. She did not like this.

"Greetings, children..." A childish voice sounded, "And welcome to my fountain." There was a burst if light. A little girl, looking much like Saria, appeared, with a small doll dangling from one hand.

"You are the... the..." Zelda spluttered.

"Yes, I am the Queen of Faries..." The child said, giggling, "You are shocked? But why? Us faires are childish creatures, you must know that. Why... dear Tatl and Tale are prime examples of that. But, enough of this. Why do you seek me?"

"We seek your guidance." Zelda said humbly, finally getting over her shock. Stepping out of the boat and into the water, she knelt in the muddy pond in the centre.

"You wish to go home, do you not?" The fairy asked wisely, and Zelda nodded, "Very well... I think I may help you there..." She clapped her hands, "This portal will take you so far. I'm afraid I cannot take you to your own Hyrule, Zelda with the dark hair. You will have to help your fairer twin to her destination, before you can return home. This portal," She indicated the deep green portal, "Will take you to the past. To the time of the Hero of Time, when he fought Ganondorf the first time. You must aid the Hero, Link. Go!"

Zelda and Zel looked at each other. Zel took several steps back, but Zelda grasped her wrist.

"We must." Was all she said, before dragging her into the portal.

PRESENT HYRULE

"He gave us a medallion and a key..." Link said in wonder, tracing the edge of the Medallion of Fire, while Impa inspected the the Key of Fire.

"They are indeed the real ones." She finally concluded, "Link, I see this as an opportunity. If the Medallion is here, then Darunia is alive and well. We should press on. The Water Temple awaits!" Link nodded. Linn, Ruto, and Nabouru were listening on the other side of the door.

"I hope this doesn't happen in my Temple." Ruto said freverently. Nabouru nodded.

"As do I."

ANCIENT HYRULE

Zelda and Zel stood in the middle of Market Town. It was dark and vibrating evil, and it was very concerntrated.

"Zelda..." Zel said quietly, "Look." She pointed towards a young blonde man, no older then them, sneaking over to the Temple of Time. Curious, Zelda followed, with Zel close behind. The tunic was unmistakeable. Zelda had seen it in Tetra's room in the future countless times.

Zelda dragged herself and Zel into a dark corner, where she quietly altered her appearance. She was no longer Zelda, and was not Shiek. She fashioned herself black hair, a tight pink blouse, and brown leggings, and pale white, creamy skin. She kept her saphire blue eyes.

"Change." Zelda muttered to Zel. Zel nodded, and transformed herself to look much like Zelda, only with brown eyes, and looking about a year younger. Her outfit was similar, except she was wearing blue, not pink. Satisfied that they looked different, they stepped out of the shadows.

Link was huddled in the corner, shaking. Confused, Zelda and Zel made their way up to him quietly.

"Are you ok?" Zelda asked sweetly, noting that her voice had changed along with her body. It was soft and quiet; full of concern. Link looked up, a terrified glint in his young, traumatised eyes.

"Who are you?" Link demanded, drawing his Master Sword. Zelda and Zel took a step back, "I warn you, I know how to use this sword!" He was panicked. Zelda felt her heart go out to the poor young man.

"I'm Zelma." Zelda cursed herself for coming up with such a bad name.

"And I'm Zelra." Zel said, noticing that their chosen names were very similar indeed to thier real names, and to each other's. At least, if they forgot their aliases, they would answer anyway.

"What do you want from me?" Link demanded, frenzied. Navi flew out of his green floppy hat. She began to speak in a very low voice to Link. Just listening to her seemed to calm Link down. Zelda had to clasp her hand over her mouth to stop crying out Navi's name.

"Ok, Navi..." Link murmered, just loud enough for Zelda and Zel to hear, "I'll let them talk without threatening them..."

"I'm so sorry for Link's attitude, Princesses." Navi did her little fairy bow, "You do not have to hold those disguises any longer. I know who you are." Navi flew up to them, and said in a very low voice so that Link could not hear, "I am from your time... There was never really a Navi in this time..."

"When did you get here?" Zelda asked, confused. She and Zelda transformed back into their real selves, not noticing the gasp of surprise Link gave.

"For when Link came out of the Chamber of Sages? Just after you girls disappeared." Navi said dramatically, "I'm so glad you two are ok!" Zelda smiled warmly at the fairy, and indicated her young charge. Navi made a bell's ring, and hurried back into his hat.

"Navi says you can help me." The Hero of Time said carefully.

Well, well, well... another twist, eh? I'm aiming for this story to have the WIDEST coverage of Zelda games as I possibly can. Hopefully, this will have some sort of reflection on the beginning of the story. It'll be hard, but I think I can do it. Let's hope, aye? Until next time! Remember, this story is now called 'Lost in Time, Identity and Destiny'! I have a feeling that the next update might not be too far off!
