Chapter 6: Meet Caspian!
Furuba: Fi won't be in the disclaimer today as she is currently in a Gin Rummy championship…*under breath* I should never have taught her how to play. Now, moving on; you all know that I don't own Legend of Zelda or Narnia. In this disclaimer today I also want to say to 'Guest' that the Sages being in this story is going to be explained in this chapter so I hope that will clear things up for you. Also to Kenzi thank you so much for your review. It means so much to me that you think so much of this story and my writing. Thank you!
…Link's POV…
The trees parted aside to form a pathway for me. I walked along it, not really knowing where it went or what was at the end of it. I walked along, wondering what was happening in my own world around this time. Edmund had told me that time didn't pass in our home world while they were in Narnia…but that was Edmund's world. Hyrule was different. I sighed, not knowing.
I turned a bend in the path and saw a sight that definitely surprised me. The same Lion from earlier (Lucy told me that it was Aslan) was standing at the end of the path talking to Zelda. They both turned and looked at me at the same time. All I could do was stare at them in confusion. They both started walking towards me since I had stopped in the middle of the path halfway towards them. When they got to me Zelda smiled at me and Aslan gave me the closest thing to a smile a lion could which really did look a lot like a smile.
"How are you Link?" Zelda asked me after a few minutes of silence and me staring at them some more.
"Uh…I...oh…how….?" I just couldn't seem to get a sentence out in my confusion.
"Give him a minute Zelda; he is very confused right now." Aslan said. It was this that snapped me out of my confusion.
"What in the world is going on here?!" I was finally able to get out.
Zelda looked at me and smiled before saying, "Link, this is all a dream. Well, us meeting is a dream. In reality you are still in Narnia. Aslan has brought us both here in a dream to explain things to us both."
"Explain what things? Like the Sages or how I am supposed to help Narnia or why he chose me to do all of this?" I said my voice rising slightly.
"That is all easily explained." Aslan said, chuckling slightly.
"Then what is the explanation?" I asked, a little too harshly.
"Link, calm down," Zelda said, placing her hand on my shoulder. I took a deep breath and then
Aslan started talking.
"In the future of Hyrule your descendent will help 5 Sages learn that they are the Sages needed to lock Ganon away. Don't ask who Ganon is, you won't meet him. I contacted these Sages and they came into Hyrule's past, your present, and sent you here to Narnia to help the Kings and Queens save Narnia."
"Why did you contact them to send me back and not Zelda?"
"Because she has a different role to play in these events. Right now you just need to worry about finding Caspian."
Zelda added, "Don't worry Link. You'll know what to do when the time comes."
"But why do the Sages give me those gifts?"
"Because," Aslan said, "you need those gifts. They will help you make sure that both you and all of your friends stay alive."
"But-" I started but Aslan cut me off.
"Our time has run out. It is time for us to go. You must find Caspian Link, he is very close to you."
"Goodbye Link. I'll see you soon." Zelda said.
"Wait!" I yelled but it was too late, everything went black and then I woke up.
…Normal POV…
Link sat up, anticipation in his chest and a panicked look in his eye.
"Link? Are you all right?" Susan asked. She had taken over watching the camp a couple hours ago to allow Peter some sleep.
Link nodded, calming down, "Just a confusing dream." Shaking his head Link told Susan, "Go to bed. I'll keep watch."
Susan nodded her thanks and smiled at him before putting her bow away and going back to her spot by the fire and falling asleep. Link then grabbed his sword and shield, strapping them to his back before going to a giant rock and sitting down to watch. A lot had been happening in the past week. Link never expected to go on another adventure but now that he thought about it an adventure was just what he needed. Maybe it would be helpful to get him out of his depression over losing…no. He wouldn't think about it…not now. Later…when he was alone. Link shook his head and looked around, not seeing or hearing anything. He then went back to his thoughts only to bring his full attention to the sound of a snapping twig. He leapt up and faced the sound, silently drawing his sword as well.
Slowly Link made his way through the trees towards where the sound had come from. He could now hear heavy breathing as well. Link approached a giant boulder that was taller than him. He stopped there and took a breath, knowing that whatever had made those sounds was right behind it. Sighing Link then jumped around and swung his sword around to attack the creature but another sword clanged up against his blocking the attack. Link swung the sword back around but noticed that it was a human man protecting the Minotaur that Link had attacked.
The Man thrust his sword towards Link and he was barely able to dodge it. Link then jumped to the left and rolled to the side and around the man which confused him. Link then leapt up, now behind the man and shoved his shield into him, knocking the breath out of the stranger. Link then grabbed his shirt and lifted him up easily and held him against the boulder that he had hid behind earlier with his sword across the man's neck. The man dropped his weapon, admitting defeat.
"Who are you?" Link asked in a whisper.
The man had annoyed look on his face but an 'encouraging' press of Link's sword against his neck made him say, "My name is Caspian."
Link dropped Caspian and his sword in surprise. "C-Caspian? But…you can't be Caspian…We're not in the Shuddering Woods yet…" Link whispered. Suddenly the Minotaur came up behind Link and grabbed him, pressing his arms to his sides and lifting him up off the ground so he couldn't do anything.
Caspian picked up his sword and Link's and crossed them in front of Link's neck and said, "Now it is time for you to answer my questions. Who are you and what are you doing here?"
Link sighed, still not understanding anything that was going on but figured that it would be easier to answer his questions. Maybe one of his friends would wake up soon and try to find out where he was. "My name is Link. I came here with six other people to look for you."
Caspian scoffed, "Look for me and then do what? Kill me? Did Miraz send you?" Caspian's voice lowered and became threatening.
Link shook his head as best as he could without letting his head his one of the swords before saying, "No. I came with a dwarf, an ex-soldier, and the…old kings and queens of Narnia."
A look of disbelief came across Caspian's face, "You really expect me to believe that? I have heard more believable fairy tales."
"Please," Link said, raising his voice to alert his friends, "I can prove it to you. Just let me lead you to where they are."
Caspian got angry, "Do you really think that I would fall for such a stupid ambush plan?"
A new voice entered the conversation, a brave woman's voice, Susan's voice, "You really should believe him if you don't want me to shoot this arrow."
Caspian and the Minotaur spun around and found Susan standing on top of the boulder with everyone else surrounding her. She had her bow drawn and pointed at Caspian, ready to shoot but only if she had too. Link than pictured something, a tool and a weapon that be used right now. Suddenly a whip appeared in his hands thanks to Fi. The Minotaur was so surprised that he dropped him but Link easily landed on the ground and cartwheeled away from them. Then he used his whip to wrap around his sword handle and bring his weapon back to him. The whip then disappeared and his sword was in his hand.
Caspian and his friend looked around at all of us in shock not really knowing what to do or say.
Fi? Come on out here. Link sent a mental message to Fi who immediately came out of his sword.
"What did you need master?" She asked Link
"What is the possibility that this man is Caspian?"
Fi wandered over to Caspian who looked like he was about to faint from seeing her. She circled him and scanned him before coming back over to Link and saying, "There is a 99.9% possibility that this man is the Caspian we are looking for."
Furuba: And the chapter is done! I hope all of you liked it! And wish Fi good luck at the Gin Rummy championship so that I don't owe her all of that money! Now you see the little white box beneath all of these words? Ya write your review there and then press the review button!
