CHAPTER 2
"Colin, time to get up!" Beth shouted as loud as she could. Colin stumbled out of bed as soon as he heard her. What am I going to do? How am I going to tell my father? What about my friends? He pondered all of these things as he got dressed and exited his house. "Come on, Colin! We're late!" Beth was excited for the trial, while Colin was focused on last night's nightmare. They reached the mayor's house where the scandalous brothers stood at one side of the platform, and Rusl stood at the opposite side. "We never did anything of the sort," argued Malo. He and Talo were trying to cover their tracks. "Then how come Colin found you trying to skip town?"
"We wanted to visit Link in Hyrule Town. We brought Ilia to bring him home again," said Malo.
"And you brought your fortune with you because?" said Ilia. She was brought up as a witness to the case.
"WE NEVER BROUGHT OUR ENTIRE FORTUNE!" shouted Talo.
"You're a fool for bringing that up, Talo," whispered his brother. "Now he is going to grill us." Malo closed his eyes and braced himself for the fire, after being flung out of the frying pan. "Oh. Then how much did you take out?" questioned Rusl.
"Three...purple rupees?" said Talo.
"THREE?! Try ten!"
The entire crowd gasped in shock and horror. "Alright, we took 500 rupees," said Malo, "So what? I wanted to purchase a house away from this village."
"And sap money off of the other villages, and eventually Hyrule Town." Malo was too shocked at Rusl's accusation. Rats! he thought, everyone wants a piece of my wallet. I accumulated the wealth from other people, I made a killing, I can do whatever I want! Rusl then ended with, "I hereby charge you to 10 years in Hyrule prison!" He slammed the gavel down so hard, nobody saw what came next. As Rusl was talking, Malo pulled out a knife that was hidden in his trousers. When Rusl slammed down the gavel, Malo made his move and stabbed his own brother. Beth saw everything. "HE KILLED HIS OWN BROTHER!" Everyone turned to see a blood-soaked knife and a dead Talo, with the look of shock and horror. Malo turned to face the crowd, and they looked away in fear. Only Colin remained, shocked at the sight of his eyes. Malo had yellow eyes with orange irises, his skin was jet black, and he had...HORNS?! It was clear to Colin that this was not Malo, this was a demon, carved in the likeness of an ancient foe that was defeated ten years ago. Colin asked, "Who ARE you?" He was shocked at the response. "I AM GANON!" the demon said. "I CONTROL THIS VILLAGE, AND I CONTROL YOU!"
Link rose, as if he had a nightmare. No, He DID have a nightmare. He was in a field, THE field, and he saw the castle explode. Ordon, Kakariko, and Zora Village followed suit. Each of their respective spirits disappeared, again. Only Faron remained. Then a familiar voice said, "I AM THE RULER OF HYRULE!" He knew that Ganondorf was in fact rising. Impossible. I killed him ten years ago. He's dead! But something told him he was wrong.
The doctor arrived just in time. Link laid back on his bed. "Turn over and relax. Everything is going to be fine," she said. Link heard those words, but never listened to them completely. He knew something was wrong, and he had to get back to Zelda. He needed to protect her. But those thoughts were washed away when the doctor laid her hands on his back. It was nice that she took away his nightmare, but he wished he could retain all of his memories that involved Zelda. When the doctor lifted her hands, Link fell back to sleep...and encountered another nightmare.
He was in Ordon, he just got up from a fall, and he was staring at a huge pig-like beast that was charging towards HIM!
