Chapter 4

The Realm of Time

"I believe I can answer that question." A voice said. Both Links look over to a man wearing a white robe holding a scroll and a quill writing something down without looking.

"Who are you?" Light Link asked.

"I am known by many names, you may refer to me as the writer of the Triforce prophecy. I've seen what the legend of the hero came to be from future, present, and past. What is happening right is part of a prophecy I saw long ago, and now it finally is happening. You are in the Realm of Time, a sacred realm in the Temple of Time like the Sacred Realm, but more sacred than the Sacred Realm."

"What are you writing right now?" Time Link asked.

"Oh, no, no, no, no, I can't say anything about the future… Well, I guess I have to since the timeline is going to be disrupted anyway. That being look like you guys was it not?" The Prophesier said.

"He did, but he was all shadowy, dark, and the Triforce on his hand was upside down." Light Link said.

"Well, there is one thing about the Legend of the Triforce that has been kept a secret to everybody, a dark secret that kept the legend in check, but was sometimes proven true and false for eons and eons. You recall the legend correct? As the legend says, 'Three goddesses, Din, Nayru, and Farore, created Hyrule and so the Triforce as they left for the heavens.' Then the war of the Goddess Hylia took place. The reason for the war was because of something else then just the Demise. If you must know, there were really four goddesses and three gods that were involved with the creation of Hyrule."

"There are four goddesses and three gods?!" Both Links asked surprised.

"That's right. You see the middle triangle of the Triforce is a dark Triforce called the Triforce of Darkness. The Triforce you know is the Triforce of Light, created by the very goddesses which created Hyrule. The Triforce of Darkness however, was created by the brothers of the goddesses you know. The gods were, Nid, Uryan, and Eroraf. Being jealous of their sisters being chosen to create Hyrule by order of Hylia, they created the Demise to gain Hylia's power for themselves. Although by doing this they created the Triforce of Darkness. Hylia sealed the Demise and wiped the gods from existence, but the Triforce of Darkness could not be destroyed. Like the Light, the Triforce of Darkness has three parts, Authority, Knowledge, and Bravery, each equal to the power of the Triforce of Light."

"What does this have to do with me pulling the master sword?" Light Link asked.

"The Triforce of Darkness was being used by the Demise before the Hero of Legend defeated him and his essence was absorbed by the master sword, however the master sword wasn't able to absorb all of the demise. The master sword was only able to absorb the Triforce of Bravery, but the other pieces of the Triforce of Darkness spread across the world and manifested beings of evil due to their dark power. The Triforce of Knowledge created an evil mage with the power of the wind. The Triforce of Authority created an evil deities, but was turned into a mask hidden within an ancient tribe"

"Wait a second. Hold on. Are you saying that Majora's Mask contains the power of the Triforce of Authority?" Time Link asked.

"What's Majora's Mask and the Fierce Deity Mask." Light Link asked.

"A long time ago I came across a land named Termina. The power of Majora's Mask tried to make the moon fall from the sky. I was able to defeat him. Doing this the evil power was contained back into what the mask was before like the moon started falling."

"Okay, but what does all this have to do with what we just saw?"

The Prophesier said, "Like I said before, the Triforce of Bravery was absorbed by the master sword. After this happened and the spirit of the sword started its slumber in the sword, the next person that would pull the master sword, the Triforce of Bravery would create a dark version of who pulled it."

"So, the Dark Link I battled in the water temple was the one that was created right?" Time Link asked.

"No, that being was created by ganondorf. The real dark entity was inside the sword, but was manifested into the dark version of you, although it wasn't powerful enough to escape the sword. When the twilight was absorbed into the sword the entity was almost at full power, but it still couldn't escape." The Prophesier pointed at Light Link with his quill, "Once you gained the Triforce of Power from defeating Ganondorf, the next time you pulled the sword the entity would escape."

"So, this is my fault." Light Link said.

"Oh, don't say that. Things like this happen." Time Link said, "Why when I first pulled the master sword, I was frozen in a deep sleep for seven years. While I was sleeping, Ganondorf was able to steal the Triforce of Power."

"There's something else you have to know…" The Prophesier said, "This concerns you mostly Hero of Time."

"M-me? Why me?"

"Your adventure through Hyrule connects the Timeline of the Legendary Hero. When you were sent back to the past to warn Zelda about Ganondorf's plans to take over Hyrule by the Zelda in the future, the Zelda in that part of the timeline to sort out the damage that Ganondorf had done, but during this time Ganondorf was able to break out of the Sacred Realm, due to this the goddesses flooded Hyrule trapping him again. I call this the Adult Timeline. Where you are in right now is the timeline where Ganondorf was sent to the Twilight Realm. I call this the Child Timeline. With these two timelines, there is one problem with the Adult Timeline though. It seems that there is another alternate reality. In this reality the Hero of Time is killed by Ganon!"

"WHAT?!" Both Link's yelled.

"Do not worry fair heroes, for you see a war took place called the Seal War, after this Ganon was sealed by the sages in the Golden Land which he turning into the Dark World by using the three pieces of the Triforce. This is because Zelda had to sacrifice the Triforce of Wisdom while she and the other sages sealed Ganon in the Golden Land. As we all know whenever there is evil, good will come to defeat it. Now I've believe that is everything that is needed to be said. You both must go through the portals to the Past Timeline and the three Split Timelines and stop what the True Dark Link is doing. You must meet up with the other Links though them as well, you will need all the help you can get. Don't mind altering the timeline, for all we know the timeline may already be altered."

"Which should we enter first?" Time Link asked.

"That… will be up to you."

The King: And it is up to you to. In your review put down where you would like them to go first, or you can tell me what you liked about this chapter. Yeah I know it's just a lot of explaining, but for those of you rufuse or are not connecting with some of the things in the chapter or if you try to say something like, "You just made it up," I will tell you one thing: It's just a Fanfic! Get over it!

Edit: instead I will make a poll for the area they should go next. Dead line April 6th 2013.
