Leon's Back. Those of you who have heard of Don Quijote, he can go to hell and I'm glad I am done with it…sorry bout that, I just needed to get my anger out. Well without any more whining, enjoy. Yes I know…I don't own Zelda.
"ey, Link? Are you going to wake up anytime soon?"
"Ahh…It's no use, Leon." Responded Saria. "He won't wake up for some time."
Raiku was curious, pacing back and forth. "Why did he mention Din?"
"You know," started Saria, "Din is known as the Goddess of Courage, while Nayru is the Goddess of Wisdom and Farore the Goddess of Power. Since Link has the Triforce of Courage, maybe she spoke with him…"
Both, Leon and Raiku looked at her skeptically. "Suuure… "
"You guys! I'm serious."
"Let's suppose that he did have an encounter with Din. What could she have told him?"
With a coughing voice, an unconscious Link began to spoke. At first all he did was whisper and noone could understand him until his eyes flashed with a blinding white light and said, "You doubt me? I am the goddess Din."
Saria, Leon and Raiku all fell back in the shock of being spoken like that. The twins had gone off to gather firewood but even in the distance they spotted a huge light from the heavens and came to the house as fast as they could.
Raiku was the first to, huh I don't think I can say speak… "W-w-w-w-w-w-…." His whole body was trembling, stirred with the shock of hearing Din's voice. Since noone spoke, she continued whre she left off. "A few years ago, a man tried to harness our power for his own selfish gain. He was however, stopped by the Hero of Time. Nonetheless, he's been released."
Raiku had regained his composure and added in a solemn tone, completely unnatural to him, "So, he really has been revived?"
"Yes. But do not misinterpret my words. His revival is essential for your triumph. Without him, you cannot think to bear Legion, the fallen Guardian. "
"The fallen…guardian?"
Din's voice adopted a sad tone and spoke of the illusions they were facing.
"Listen well. Throughout the years, legends of the triforce and its beginning have been spoken. However, the truth is…the Triforce was never meant to exist."
"Say what?!" Raiku's eyes opened broadly, enhancing the stupefied face he had on. "The Triforce never meant to be?!"
It started to rain as she spoke and you could feel how every one of those raindrops was a tear falling fom Din's face, high in the heavens, where the Gods reside. "Yes. In the beginning, when the land of Hyrule was created, we left a sacred triangle, but it was not the Triforce. It has no name, but its powers could dwarf the Triforce's."
At that moment, Joe and Rick had entered the room, and, seeing the light, did not even try to question what was going on. Instead they sat on the floor next to Raiku, facing Link, Leon and Saria, and payed close attention to the message of the Goddess.
"This triangle of might was just one triangle. When we left Hyrule, we left a guardian with it, the one known as Arcangel."
"Wait… THE ARCANGEL? The Legendary Guardian?" spoke Rick, who had always been fascinated by ancient legends and had heard of Arcangel.
"Don't give him too much credit." She said. " When we left the Triangle in the land, we could not return to this realm, lest Arcangel summon us. He, much to our dismay, took advantage of that and tried to seize the power for himself. But as the Legeds of the triforce say, he had to be balanced."
Joe made a quick and smart assumption. "He wqasn't balanced, was he?"
"No. The minute he touched the Triangle, it shattered into four smaller triangles. Three of them abandoned him and became the triforce you know of. That is why the triforce looks like a fourth triangle could fit in the middle of the other three."
"But then, what happened to the fourth?"
"Hmmm…The fourth piece…it controlled the balance in the world. When it touched him, he already had given up on good and walked the path of darkness. This unbalance caused the last piece to warp Arcangel and fuse with him, creating a Demon with near-unlimited powers, the Demon we now fight, Legion. He has gained great prowess through time, but so have we. When Link awakens go to the four temples of the elements."
"The what?"
"They are four temples honoring each of the four elements: Fire, Earth, Wind and Water, in Death Mountain, Kokiri Forest, Desert Colossus and Lake Hylia, respectively. In them rest the four guardians. A worthy warrior must attain their powers. Once you fulfill this, I shall appear before you again.Farewell…"
As thundering and powerful her voice had sounded, it suddenly disappeared. The once gray skies vanished to reveal a beautiful sunset. The mountains of Death Valley, seen in the distance form the forest, were glowing orange, but to everyone's shock, started changing color until it shimmered a ghastly purple. Saria couldn't believe her eyes. She was shaking in fear. She couldn't feel her hands. "W-What is that?"
Leon didn't feel his body at all. He immediately fell back when he felt this chill up his back, like if the demons were striking his back. Everything started to feel incredibly cold. The twins started hugging each other, screaming they were going to die virgins. Raiku lay on the ground, immobilized by fear, for the once orange cloud now looked like a pitch black pair of crossbones. They could see in the skull, where the eyes are supposed to be, red smoke emerged, straight in their direction. The skull opened its mouth and a mind numbing screech echoed through Hyrule.
At this, Link woke up. In his left hand, the Triforce of Courage was burning in his skin. The pain was unbearable and the sight, dreadful. "What's Going on?"
The screech became understandable and it spoke, a raspy, eerie, echoing vopice in the winds. Simply hearing it would send chills down your spine and make even the bravest of men cower in fear. "I am back!! Hyrule will suffer now that iu've returned, hehehe, but don't blame me. Blame the one who freed me. Link!"
"What? He's lying!" bursted Link. "That creep! He will pay!"
It continued to speak ill of Link. "Yes, he has tricked you all. Now because of him, you will all suffer. Hate him. Despise him. Fill your rage against him."
"Why would he lie?"
Saria looked at Link, straight in the eyes. "Not even you are that dense. You know why he does it. He wants everyone to hate you."
When the screeches finished, the voice echoed "Hehehehehehehehe, This town fell because of your HERO!!" The town of kakariko, already in ruins, was set ablaze and the flames rose to the heavens.
Link was barely able to recover himself. "Uh…we have…to…"
Saria, who was already looking at Link straight in the eyes, hugged him. "Link, it is not your fault…"
"Then why does it feel like it is?"
Raiku looked at Leon, then at the twins, They, without saying a word, left the forest where the had slept and taking Din's advice, headed for the sacred forest meadow, leaving Link and Saria alone.
Whew. I sure liked it, hope you guys did too. Take care. Leon out!
