Once Zack exited Tori's room, he was greeted by Daniel and Tess. "To answer your question, she's all right. I forced her to have some soup and all she needs now is some rest," Zack explained. This was a great relief for the both of them. "That's good..." Tess whispered. Daniel nodded in agreement, then thought hard. "I think she'll be bedridden for... A week and a half. Maybe more," he concluded.
"Eleven days, fourteen hours, thirty two minutes, and nineteen seconds to be exact."
The trio jumped. Jolting to the voice, the group came face-to-face with a woman in a light blue cloak. Her blurry, crystal blue eyes surveyed them with no emotion. "A very pinpoint observation, Link," was all she said. Nayru came from behind her, then nodded to her. "You did a great job, Chranas. You may go to your plane now," Nayru instructed. The woman, Chranas, did not look to her however. She spoke without any movement, "Very well, Nayru. I do hope Zant makes a full recovery, as odd as that sounds."
Chranas then vanished, leaving the trio puzzled. "I apologize. Chranas is blind. However, she can see life that she had started the time for without her eyes," Nayru explained, "Anyway, Chranas is the Goddess of Time. She has helped extended Tori's sync time-" "Whoa wait, so how could she see us if we aren't from here?" Zack interrupted, taken aback. Sighing as if he had asked a simple math problem, Nayru responded, "Notice how she was referring to you as your other names? You may not be from here, but your other selves are."
Zack took it in, then nodded in understanding. Tess was next to ask a question, "So, what'll we be doing? Will we wait for Tori to recover before we can train again?"
Nayru shook her head. "No. Even if someone is injured, you have to train and move ahead," she replied. The group looked to each other, then back at Nayru worriedly. "Don't worry, Din will not be 'teaching' you this time around," she reassured, "Now let Tori rest. In the meantime, we must go back to training."
A castle. This is what Tori was standing before as horrifying pitch black monsters were by her side. Her mouth forced itself into a malicious smile as she held out her hand. "Prepare for victory, my loyal servants," she heard herself say to the beasts, which they shrieked back in response. With a sudden pulse of a shadowy mist into the castle doors, the beasts charged.
Tori then saw them go to work.
The soldiers standing their ground inside the castle were being slaughtered horribly by these monsters without mercy. Tori then was stepping forward inside to show herself alongside more regal yet more powerful looking creatures. All around her, soldiers were helplessly being strangled or held in the claws of the beasts. "It is time for you to choose: Surrender or die," Tori said to the three soldiers left standing, but to one in particular.
It was who Nayru called Zelda, wielding a sword. Tori simply grinned and continued, "Oh yes, a question for all the land and people of Hyrule..." She gestured to a nearby soldier struggling in the hold of one of the creatures, "Life? Or death?!"
The two guards standing by her gasped, then looked to Zelda to see her choice. After moments of silence, Zelda had made her decision.
Her sword fell.
Tori jolted upwards from her sleep, which she regretted afterwards due to her wounds. "What the hell..?" she quietly asked herself, placing her hands on her head. Yes, she was still synced. But what she didn't get was why that scene was so familiar... Obviously that had never happened before. Why did it seem so familiar though? Was Daniel going through this too? What was going on? After a while, Tori began to have a headache due to thinking about it too hard. So she hesitantly laid back down and closed her eyes once more.
Her last thoughts before drifting off were if she should tell Nayru.
HNNGH Sorry it's so short. I had to end it off somewhere that made sense xD so yeah. I got so many ideas for this that they're overflowing!
