Chapter Three:
Logan's P.O.V. Mindscape
I've found myself in a weird looking forest, not like the forests I've been to before, no this forest was way more packed with life. Animals, of all kinds, were everywhere walking around doing animal things in what seemed like a gigantic cage made of extremely tall trees. I liked the seen but I had a question on my mind.
"Where am I?" I said out loud not expecting an answer
"I'll tell you." A sweet voice said from behind startling me and making me turn around to see a giant, greenish tinted wolf almost as high as the cage.
"Wha!" I said started and fell down since I was in disbelief of the giant wolf.
"Sorry I didn't mean to startle you little one." The wolf said in a voice I now realized is one I might know.
"Farore is that you?" I asked in wonder
"Why yes I'm surprise, I didn't think you would recognize my voice in this form." Farore said as a bright light engulfed her making me turn away.
"You can look now, Logan." Farore said, as I turned my head around and I was surprise there stood a female, by the looks of it about twenty years old, with greenish blond hair in a green dress.
"What? Say something?" Farore said making me blush in embarrassment
"I-I'm sorry." I stuttered out causing her to chuckle
"It's fine." She said waving it off.
"Where and why am I here?" I asked confused wanting answers
"This place is your mindscape, protected from Raven with my power Logan. Raven isn't the nicest of goddesses. For why you are here is to just talk about what I am." Farore said as her voice and face turn serious.
"What do you mean? Aren't you just a voice in my head?" I asked her in confusion.
"I am way more than a voice in your head child. Have you ever heard of the game 'The Legend of Zelda'?" Farore asked me questionably
"Yeah, a year back before Jane died she bought me a game called 'The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time', but I didn't get far since George broke it when he was angry." I replied
"Hmm, yes that's true isn't it but do you remember about the tale of the three goddesses in the game?" She asked
"Yeah that's the farthest I got, it took me forever to get to that spot, and now I lost it." I replied a little sad about it.
"What if I said that game actually happened?" Farore asked with a raised eyebrow
"That can't be it's just a game." I replied back sort of getting what she was motioning towards
"Careful Din doesn't like to be called a game." Farore said making me panic and her to start laughing
"Don't worry I meant if she could hear you." She said still laughing at me while I nodded understanding what she meant.
"This forest protects from almost everything around us from entering your mind. Now, let's get back down to business shall we?" She said getting serious again.
Zeus' P.O.V.
What, how did she find him? I thought I hid him well. I even used the mist on the highest level!
"Well that seems to be good news, it seems my plan worked!" I said forcefully and lying about everything I meant.
"Don't lie to me father, you don't really care for him. You're the one who took him away!" Artemis snapped at me, saying father like it was a curse word, making me lower my head. I then flashed out to escape the glares from my family
Artemis' P.O.V.
The nerve of that man; he's trying to make it look like he was happy that my son was back. Everyone in the throne room knows that what he said isn't true and the fact he hid him away proves what he said was a big lie I don't know why he even tried.
"Well Artemis, I personally am very glad that you got him back." I heard Poseidon say smiling "I am also happy that you have him back, family shouldn't be ripped from someone like that. Zeus had no right to take him from you." Said Hestia, seemly too happy that my son was back, I will need to ask her about it later.
"Just don't go overly protective on us because of dad, little sis." Apollo said grinning like a mad man.
"I AM NOT YOUR LITTLE SISTER!" I shouted and then started to us him as target practice
"Fine, but I'm still going to tech him about being awesome, poems, getting girls and archery." Apollo said folding his arms in a childish manner.
"YOU WILL NOT SHOW HIM HOW TO GET GIRLS!" I shouted again I'm not going to let my stupid, idiotic brother mess up my son like he tried with Zoe.
"Strange she only paid attention to the part about getting girls. Over protective mother anyone?" Hermes said in a joking manner looking around the room making me turn and glare at him.
"Uh . . . look at the time I have packages to deliver!" Hermes said looking at an invisible watch on his wrist and flashing out in a rush
"So I guess this meeting is over?" Hades asked not really paying mind to our arguments as the rest shrugged and started to flash away. I was about until I was stopped by Hestia, Athena, and Hera.
"Why are you three stopping me? I need to check on my son." I asked, more like told, them
"There is something we need to tell you and you need to swear on the river Styx that you won't tell the other gods and goddesses until we tell until we tell them." Athena said as I looked at her strangely but did it anyway, making thunder boom in the background.
"Ok what is it you need to tell me?" I asked them
"Hestia and I are no longer maiden goddesses and Hera along with us now has demigods that are not made by other means like you." Athena said making me go wide eye and my mouth hang open.
"When did this happen?" I asked shocked
"Well about around twenty-fire years ago." Hestia said making me even more shocked
"How and why?" I asked wanting to know
"You know those golden goddesses? They appeared a few years about five years before the Percy Jackson was born and asked us to bear children for them since they needed to bring back some people from their time. We agreed but asked about our maidenhood and about the reaction we got from everyone. They said not to worry about it and they could repair it if need be but they said it may take some time." Hera said making me confused
"Why didn't they bear the children?" I asked
"They can't bear children that need to hold some of their power; which is in the form of three triangles called the Triforce, and the fact that the child could be utterly destroyed if that was the case, even if they switched children." Hestia explained while I nodded in an understanding way.
"So that's why I and the others didn't really noticed them we thought they were unclaimed by their godly parent and were just taken pity on by you three. What are the names of those children?" I asked them
"The first born was Hera's, and his name was Greg but in the Goddesses language, Hylian, meant Ganondorf. My child was next; her name was Zelda, ironically Zelda in Hylian. The last's child, Hestia's, is one you should know, Lincoln, or Link in Hylian." Athena said making me so surprise I had to sit down.
"I fell in love with Hestia's child? And I didn't even know about it?" I asked confused
"Yes, we're sorry that we didn't tell you, we thought you would turn on us and tell Zeus." Hera replied to my question.
"I'm not sure what I would have done then, but I do know what to do now." I told them smiling at them and in returned go smiles since the figured out what I meant.
Zoe's P.O.V.
While waiting for mom to come back I was currently siting by Logan's bed since I notice that he is having a dream, or a nightmare like most of us demigods get and it's been two hours since mom has been gone. Getting bored I went outside the tent to patrol the borders of the camp.
"Where is mom?" I said out loud without meaning to
"I wasn't gone that long was I?" I heard the voice of my mom say making me turn around and see not only my mom by three other goddesses. I quickly bowed to each of them respectfully before asking my question.
"What brings you here, other than mother?" I said out of curiosity
"What, a grandmother can't come see her grandchildren?" Hestia asked with mock hurt.
"I-I'm sorry, Lady Hestia. Wait GRANDMOTHER!?" I replied stuttering/surprise causing all the goddesses to laugh but not too loudly to wake up Logan.
"We're family no need for formalities while we are alone. You may call me Grandma or just Hestia." Hestia said as I was even more surprise that Hera and Athena nodded in agreement at the first part. Before anyone could say anything, a loud thump was made from the tent, making all of us go to the tent in kind of a hurry. We went inside, mom being first, and we notice that Logan fell off the bed holding his arm that used to hold two arrows in it.
"Ow." He grunted not noticing us standing there
"Are you ok, my baby boy?" Mom asked in concern making him realize we were there.
"So it wasn't a dream?" Logan asked not calculating what mom said
"Of course it wasn't, my baby." Mom continued earning a small smile from Logan
"So I am free from them?" Logan asked our mom
"Yes you are baby." Mom confirmed making Logan jump and hug her.
"Ahem!" Hestia said making Logan and mom look at her.
"Anything you want to give to your grandmother?" Hestia asked with a warm smile
"You're my grandmother?" Logan asked making his smile even bigger.
"I was the same way." I said earning a playful glare from Hestia
"Though I couldn't find you either, I'm sorry." Hestia said in a sad tone.
"It is fine I'm happy to have a family who loves me." Logan said making Hestia smile bigger too.
"Well that was a heartwarming reunion, but I need to change my brother's bandages so would you please kindly get out of the tent?" I asked them in a respective tone. They started to protest, basically only mom was, but finally left me to tend to my little brother who was waiting patiently.
"Ok I'm going to start with your body would you mind moving your arms up a little?" I asked him while he nodded but as he lifted them he let a small winced out from the pain, and somehow mom heard him and came running in.
"Are you ok?" Mom asked panicking
"It was just a small wince mom." I told her fearing that she was becoming a little over protective, but it's understandable, she lost her child after a weak he was born and five years later she finds him beaten and in a lot of pain, so who could blame her?
"It's ok you don't need to be hear mom." Logan said with a smile as he tried to lift his arms once more but winced again, causing mom to freak out.
"Stop I'll do it! It's hurting him!" She started turning from my strong, serious mother into a mother who is insane with protectiveness and worry.
"Mom it's not that, his wounds are the ones hurting him." I told her making her sad
"It is my fault he's like this, I'm to blame." Mom said seriously starting to lose it, and it went that way for the rest of the night. Us arguing about whose fault it was while changing his bandages.
Logan's P.O.V. Next morning
I woke up and remembered about that conversation with Farore and before I found out about grandma and mom going insane with worry.
Flashback
"Now let's get down to business shall we?" Farore said getting serious again
"Like I said before, those games really happen, we put them into the minds of a gaming company named Nintendo and they started to create them, in a weird order, but most are some are just their ideas but four of them really happened." She said taking a breath
"The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword was the beginning, next came the game The Minish Cap, Four Swords, and Ocarina of Time." Farore said never leaving her gaze at me as she continued.
"Some parts of other games that are really happened but were never mention in the four real games. Termina is actually a different dimension from former Hyrule including the masks, The Twilight Realm is also real and could be access by the Mirror of Twilight, and finally the Rito tribes and wind waker are all also real." Farore finished her explanation.
"The reason I tell you this is because you are the next hero to rise." Farore said shocking me
"What? Me a hero, are you serious?" I asked in disbelief
"Yes what I say is true for you have gain Raven." Farore said make her voice filled with venom when she said Raven's name
"Why is she involved?" I asked wondering why she was blocked from this part of my mind and a little scared of . . . both of them really
"She said when she last lost she would get revenged by turning the next hero to her side, for her to enter your mind you must be the next hero, she was the reason Demise gained so much power in the past. In order to understand this, I need you to play all four games, including the three other games called The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask and finally The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker. If you do you will get some of the knowledge of how to defeat the monsters that you will face, but be warned the monsters will not always be the same in real life like in the games." Farore said
"You will need to find the person named Zelda and then I'll bring a man named Greg to you, they will help you train for this war. Unlike the last heroes you'll have the help of a few friends." Farore said taking a breath she started again
"Our time has seem to be cut short I've blocked out most of the nightmare from your mind, made from Raven, but your body wasn't so lucky, you'll be waking up in . . . 3 . . . 2 . . ." Farore never finished as I found myself hitting the ground with a thump after a minute I finally manage a word out.
"Ow."I grunted
Flashback End
"What a crazy conversation." I mumbled to myself as I walked out of the tent I was in to find a bunch of girls pointing arrows at me.
"Um, hello there." I said nervously, and then the arrows flew.
