Chapter 4:
Your History
Today is a new day. Now we make the ascent to Mount Lanayru, and go back into the cave and shrine. Me and Zelda were already up at the crack of dawn. She pulled out a long fur cloak and a hot meal. Now she has some resistance to the freezing cold that we will eventually start to experience. As we make the ascent I remember fighting the dragon Naydra, and the voice that spoke to me and let me into the shrine. It was a hard fought battle, but I eventually was able to secure a scale. I wonder where the dragon is now. Suddenly I remember I can just teleport Zelda and I there. At least… no, it only takes one. Damn. Oh well, guess we'll climb up. I look at over at her and notice she is shivering. The meal must have worn off. Luckily my Rito Earrings and my Leggings are keeping me warm. We left the horses down at the foot of the mountain so they wouldn't freeze. I make my way over to her and put one arm around her shoulder, hugging her close inside her fur cloak. I suddenly realize my hand has accidentally slipped inside her corset. (I think that's what it's called?) I begin to take it out but she grabs my hand, and looks at me.
"N-no… please… you're really warm." She says to me. I smile and leave it there, helping her up the rugged path. Suddenly, the Spring comes in sight, and it becomes warm. I take my hand out and she sheds her fur cloak. She isn't wearing the Goddess Dress she was when she first came here, but no matter. She goes up to the statue and proceeds to pray. As she is praying I set down my weapons and armor and go kneel next to her, a silent prayer of my own. Nothing happens. We sit there for what must be half of an hour, with nothing happening. No voice. No message. Suddenly I think that maybe the message already came. My dream.
"Hey Zelda?" I say.
"Yes?" She responds, breaking from her prayer to look at me."
"I have something to tell you." I say. I explain to her what I saw in my dream and what it told me. She nods and agrees that that is probably the source of our problems.
"So, the shrine?" She says. I nod and help her up as I re-equip my weapons and grab Zelda's hand, leading her into the shrine.
When the elevator finishes descending, there is silence. Nothing. No opened chest. No dead monk. Just one, huge book sitting on a pedestal. The color of the cover I can barely make out. Green. The words… Hyr… Hist… hmm… it must be the legendary Hyrule Historia. Me and Zelda can barely contain our excitement as we rush forward to look at the book that was spoken of only in legends. I say nothing but just grab the book. Suddenly, all the items that were in the shrine reappear. I can tell Zelda wants to say something but keeps it inside. We proceed to walk back to the elevator and go back up into the Spring of Wisdom. When we arrive, she explodes.
"W-what?! It really exists?! W..wow! I never… we should… look at it." She says. I nod and sit down, Zelda sitting down next to me. We flip through it for hours… and hours… and hours… absorbing information. When we are finished, we get up.
"So… that is the past. Creation… War… and Calamity Ganon is just Ganondorf? This is… wow... " I say. We look at each other and embrace.
"Well… now that we know what the past is… let's focus on the future!" She says, with a determined smile. I nod and agree. But inside something worries me. Her betrothed. How… well… we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. But for now, we peacefully settle down for a rest, both of the soul… and of the body.
AN: Hullo hullo! What is up my lads and lassies! It is the man, the myth, the not legend… YamiDarksteel! Also Chief Writer of the Seraphim Squad (You don't know what that is. Don't worry. You will.) I was hoping this would be longer but alas, time. I'm sorry for not giving depth into the history of Hyrule, but if you want to learn, go purchase Hyrule Historia! Anyways, I hope you enjoyed! Thank you for reading, and please review!

PS: Oh yeah, I know timelines have not been revealed yet… don't worry. Our heroes have not yet truly read through the full extent of the Historia. Hehehe…. But that's for next chapter. Thank… You!
