Hope you enjoy. By the way don't hesitate to ask any questions in the comments of bits that you don't nderstand.

As Vaati got closer to the woods he noticed that the light was moving, through the tunnel and into the dense foliage. The mage followed it for some time, until he came around the next bend and it was no more, from there it was just an open plain. He slowly walked across half expecting an ambush and half just spooked. The boy continued walking till he reached the end of the grassy flat. He went through the lone tunnel at the end and into another clearing but this time it was not empty, there were trees positioned every so often creating a mysterious type of atmosphere, mist also impeded any chance of seeing more than two metre's ahead. Still moving through the weird forest Vaati noticed the same light up ahead.

Anxious to see what lay at the end of the light's path Vaati raced ahead, yet every time he thought he might catch, it just got further ahead. Soon though he realised he didn't have much of a chance catching up. He walked on for another half hour before the light disappeared and once again there was another tunnel leading into a new part of the forest, but this time there was something waiting for him. In the centre of what looked to be the last clearing was a huge mansion. It was surrounded by a black fence reaching way over Vaati's head. The mansion itself was covered in vines, and a lot of the walls were cracked. Rubble from fallen statues and broken pillars lay around it as well; obviously no one had been here for a long time.

Zelda watched from her balcony as black dot's littered the Hylian countryside, she had dispatched several squads of soldiers to search for the missing mage. She knew that only with his aid could they kill his brother. The men assigned to the castle had so far found no sign of the cunning magician, so she had assumed that he was elsewhere.

Link rode towards the forest alone, the Kokiri would not allow anyone else but him into there village so he decided he would go alone. As he reached the entrance he dismounted and headed into his old home. He walked across the bridge and then into the village entrance. He was glad to see that no monsters had made there home here again. The young man came to the lost woods entrance and began walking through the tunnels that he had memorised so long ago. After taking the final right he saw the maze-like entrance of the temple awaiting him. He manoeuvred through the grass corridors until he reached the steps leading to Saria's stump where he found her casually playing her ocarina.

"Link what are you doing here" she said cheerily.

"Saria did you see anyone enter the forest last night."

"I did not see but I could feel a presence not of this forest enter sometime last night, why are you looking for him?"

"Yes and very urgently."

"Well he went where all newcomers go, the lost woods, but he took a path I've never seen before and I can tell he's not dead, so someone or something must have guided him through there."

Can you show me his path then?"

"Unfortunately not Link, I'm so sorry."

"Its fine he's got to come out sooner or later."

Vaati entered the dank old place, wandering if anybody was here and if whatever guided him here was going to show up. He decided he might as well look around so he went left through a small corridor, at the end of it was a small room. In the corner was a table covered in cobwebs, on top was a book with some scribbles of writing but nothing important. There was also a mirror covering an entire wall, yet it reflected not a dark, dusty old room, in the mirror it was light and everything was polished there was no dust, it was as if it was reflecting the past…

Vaati's head suddenly jumped into a sharp pain…memories… flashing… everywhere. Then it all stopped, Vaati was on the ground his head still pounding. He looked back towards the mirror but it was reflecting the room from now. Vaati got up and returned to the entrance hall and across to the opposite room from the one he'd just been in. There was a broken piano and on top lay a piece of paper.

"Seek the odd then look twice" it read.

Vaati looked around until he saw something on the wall… another mirror yet nowhere near as big as the other, more like the size of a large book, he stared into its silvery depths until it too shifted into a scene of old. There was a girl playing the piano, but the reflection was the opposite way so he could only see the back of her head. She played with such skill, like no other Vaati had ever seen, then she stopped and got up and then as she left she turned back around and he saw her face…

"Arrrrgggg" he yelled as again sharp pain flowed through his head. As it recoiled he found that this time he was not on the ground, yet close to it. He tried to recall his memories of what happened so long ago, but it would not come. Vaati quickly left and tried to exit this cursed place, but it was stuck, the door would budge. "Damnit" he muttered under his breath. There was no other option he was left to find out why he was led to this place. Mustering his courage he made his way up the stairs and to the right. He was met by a room with another door at its end. Taking a look around he found nothing of interest and continued onto the next part of the mansion. Again it was the same deal nothing of interest but another door. This time it was different there was a table with multiple chemicals contained in glass tubes, and in the corner bit's of the wall had been ripped away to reveal a mismatching wall of bricks. Vaati tried to find a lever in which to open it but he found no success. He walked back to where he came and went left to the final part of the mansion. This time there was but one room and no doors leading to any other parts of the place. The adolescent examined the bookshelf in the corner of the room and studied the few books that were there. The first read wind next was fire, water then weapons, as he was checking them out he recalled the piece of paper on the piano. He pulled out the book labelled weapons then looked inside for any clues to what it meant, but there was nothing, so he tried doing what the note had said he looked twice but still there was nothing only pages.

Zelda sat inside the council chambers discussing the current issues involving Vaati and his brother.

"Your majesty both of them are not to be trusted" said one of them.

"Indeed but without him we will have not the smallest chance of surviving without him, besides it is going to take a lot of persuading to get the people on our side again."

"Your majesty you've barely spoken, please share with us your opinion on the matter."

"If I could have some more time I could give you my proposal by tomorrow morning, how does that sound."

"Of course your highness."

Zelda made her way out of the stuffy room and back to her chambers where she could relax a bit more. Zelda looked out of her window and noticed that Link was not training the soldiers as usual, she left the room and went back to the council hall…gone. Something was wrong, out of place; she turned around and that's when her heart seemed to jump wildly inside her chest.

"Where is Vaati" he said.

"I… h-have n-no idea…" she trailed off.

"No games girl I want to know where he is and no lies" he hissed.

Zelda didn't know what it was but something about him instilled total fear into her.

"I-I swe-ar I do-n't know." She squeaked.

"Useless fool" he shouted, then swirled his cloak around himself, literally disappearing right in front of her eyes. When he was gone Zelda fell to the ground in a cold sweat, tears falling down her cheeks she began sobbing. She sat there for about ten minutes before Impa heard something and came rushing to her side.

"Zelda its ok don't cry" she said trying to calm her.

"Zelda tell me please… what happened."

"H-he came and… for Vaa… I couldn't move it was like…" that was all she could choke out before she returning into a mess of tears and sobs. Impa just sat there trying to comfort her.

Link and Saria sat together in the forest temple entrance messing about together on there ocarina's.

"No no no Link you go on, off, on, on open, open five seven then six eight, now got that."

"Yeah I think so" said Link as he began to correct his previous mistake.

"Yes Link that was perfect."

Link smiled at her "Thanks Saria your a great teacher I don't think I could play half as good without you helping me."

"Oh Link nonsense you're a natural and you'll be much better than me in no time."

"Saria you're pinning much more credit than you should on… me… Saria is that the moon, it looks terribly close" he said shakily.

Saria looked up "That is no moon… I don't know what that is."

"Is it really big or just close to us, answer me that."

"Link I think it's both" she said slightly scared.

Link was too shocked to reply after that, he could only stare at it with his mouth open.

"Do you think it could be Vaati's brother, you know the one I was telling you about."

"You think he could have brought this thing from outer space and into out atmosphere."

"Yeah it is possible."

"I don't think so Link."

"Then tell your thought's about this, miss smart."

"I think it is a natural part of our planet's properties."

"Right."

"So you think he used his power to tap into there" she said pointing at the sky "and pulled that thing into our orbit."

"Orbit… that thing is not in our orbit, he is holding it there right now."

"Link… we should consult Zelda her opinion would be the wisest."

"Agreed" he said standing up and fetching his belongings.

Vaati now realised if he was going to get anywhere he was going to have to solve this mystery. Yet he was having a very hard time, due to the fact that over his entire life he had solved but one mystery. (If you want to know how he got the tiara put a comment, but do not pm me!)

He had the first part of the riddle solved, look for the odd, which he thought meant the odd book, but he could not find any, all of them had the same number of pages, chapters, book cover and colours even the quality of them.

Vaati was quite annoyed at this puzzle after about twenty minutes, he was still stumped, what was it that was odd he had checked it all, from front to back and side to spine…

"Of course" he shouted into the air.

He checked the numbers on the books and saw that they were labelled from one to four on the bottom of each of the spines. He pulled out the two odd books and then put them in again. He pulled them both out and in the place of the third book was a lever and in the place of the first was a key. Vaati took the key and put it in his pocket then pulled the lever. There was a shifting sound from somewhere inside the mansion somewhere. He left the small room and checked around the place for any sign of a change, as he was returning to the room containing the chemicals the brick wall was gone in its place was a door.
