Chapter 10
Chrysalia's Past
"Whew I won," Link said. "Thanks to that shield where did you get it anyway?" Navi asked. "I think I got it from Chrysalia," Link answered. "What is that suppose to mean!" Navi shouted. "Now let's read this stone tablet," Link said ignoring Navi, "After I get this heart container." "Why are you taking your sweet old time?" Navi asked. "I wasn't," Link answered. "Okay now I'm thoroughly confused," Navi said.
Link picked up the heart container and went over to the stone tablet to read it. "What does it say?" Navi asked. "Go to an icy lake when the full moon is high," Link said, "In the next temple you'll find the location of the next power crystal and the sanctuary of the sacred sword."
"Wow where do you think this place is?" Navi asked. "I don't know but that calls for research," Link said, "At the Hylian Library." Navi sighed, "So are we going to leave the dungeon now." "Yes," Link said going in the blue portal.
The portal took them just outside the cave to the temple. "It's getting late," Navi said, "It's almost dark." "Then we'll spend the night right here," Link said. "In front of that dungeon?!" Navi exclaimed. "So at least we aren't spending the night inside the dungeon," Link said. "Okay good point," Navi murmured.
When the moon was high in the sky Link fell asleep by the fire. At Dark Link's fortress Chrysalia was back in her jail cell and was feeling tired and went to sleep. Link was in a clearing there were buildings and the whole place was on fire. "What is this place," Link said. "I don't know," I said.
I was standing beside Link. "Whoa Chrysalia when did you get here," Link said surprised. "I went to sleep a little while ago that's how I got here," I answered. "So this is another dream," Link said. "Correct," I said but when I looked around this place looked familiar like I've been here before.
"This place looks strangely familiar," I said quietly. And even though I said it quietly Link heard me. "How could this place look familiar?" Link asked. "I don't know it just looks familiar," I answered.
All the sudden a cloaked person ran past us she was carrying something in her arms. "Mother," I gasped. Link looked at me, "Chrysalia what are you talking about." "Mother," I called and rushed after her. "Chrysalia wait," Link said and went after me.
When Link caught up with me I was staring at my mother. Her face was concealed by her hood but I could somehow tell it was my mother. She put down something on a small raft and took off her necklace. The necklace my mother took off was the necklace I was wearing right now.
I gasped and clutched my necklace and I finally understood what we were seeing. "Isn't that your-," Link started. I nodded, "It is Link this is my past." My mother picked up the bundle on the raft which was me as a baby. My mom hugged the baby and put the necklace around her neck and pushed the raft gently down the stream. "So your mother pushed you down the river," Link said.
My mother turned to us and took off her hood. "Whoa now I know where your good looks come from," Link said quietly. "Link," I said quietly yet sharp. My mother was even more beautiful then me. She had blue eyes and blond hair that she kept down that was wavy.
"In order for the evil to be defeated one must face death," My mother said, "And the last Shadow Witch must release her true powers." I recognized that voice immediately my mom had been guiding me in my dreams all along. And at the word Shadow Witch I immediately stumbled back into Link.
Link caught me and said, "What does she mean by Shadow Witch?" "Tha- that's the name of my race," I stuttered. Link's eyes widened, "That doesn't sound like a good race." "It may sound like were evil but were not," My mother said, "Were a kind race and use are magic to defend ourselves." "Wait what became of you after you pushed me down the river?" I asked.
A flicker of sadness pass through my mothers eyes and a horse galloped pass Link and I like it didn't see us. "Give me the child," The rider of the horse demanded my mother. "No," My mother said strongly clutching a bundle tight to her. The rider of the horse took the bundle roughly from my mother's arms and the bundle turned out to be a doll.
The rider of the horse looking frustrated took out his sword. I already knew what was going to happen next I turned around clutched Link and started sobbing. After the horse rider left I looked back and my mother was lying on the ground dead. Link hugged me, "Chrysalia you know I don't even know my mother." I didn't reply I didn't feel like talking.
"Chrysalia were probably going to wake up soon so please smile for me," Link said wiping the tears off my face. I closed my eyes giving Link a cute smile. The next thing I know I was blinking awake in the jail cell on the bed. I could feel a dry feeling where my tears were and could still feel Link's hand brushing the tears away.
