Chapter 4: From castle town to Ordon and back
I was heading through Kaikario Village now. Some time had passed since i left Castle town. I just couldn't shake the memory of Midna shattering the mirror. I am so sadened by this event. But Zelda said she did it for me. If she wanted to do something for me, she could have destroyed the mirror and stayed with me. "But thats almost impossible because the mirror was the only known link to the twili--..." "WAIT! ONLY KNOWN LINK TO THE REALM!" My duty has become clear. I MUST set out to find another way back. "I'll return to Ordon tonight, and head back to Castle town tomorrow to tell Zelda of my departure."
I had just rode into the area of Ordon where my house was located. I climbed off Epona and tied her up. I went up the ladder, and opened my door, walked in, shut the door, and then fell flat on my face asleep. The next morning my neck was sore and tight from sleeping the way i did. "LINK!!" I walked over to my window to see Ilia standing down below. "Ill be right there," i said. After straightening myself up, i walked out of my home and jumped down. I stood in front of her now, and the first thing she did was capture me in am embrace. My face turned red. "Woah... whats with all the emotion Ilia?" She was crying. "You have been gone so long without even so much as a word." I held her close trying to comfort her, drying the tears off her eyes. "Im fine Ilia. Im right here. Dont cry." She sniffled then sucked ut up. "im sorry link. I just care is all." She said. "Its ok. Its great you care about me enough to cry for me. They both chuckled. "Well Ilia, I know i just got back, but im leaving for another quest." I said to her with confidence. "What?" "already?" She asked. "Yeah. I have to go and find my dearest and best friend who has dissappeared." i told her, as if i have said the same thing 1000 times already. "Say hi to everyone for me." i said as i mounted Epona. "Ok Link. Bye!"
I love you She wispered so quiet no one could hear. Epona Whinnied and dashed off towards castle town.
Castle town was as busy as ever. I left Epona outside to graze while i do the business i set out to do. When i reached the gates the guards yell "Halt!" I froze dead in my tracks. "What business do you have here, commoner?" one of the guards said. "Commener?" i said. "You dont know who i am, do you?" "No sir, and it dont matter because you are not getting in." the guards said angerly. "I am Link, Hero of Twilight. Ring any bells?" I said sarcasticly. "OH! its the hero! That makes a difference. Go on in." the guard said. "Thank you" i said, smiling as i walked in. "Princess Zelda has permitted access to you anytime, so feel free to enter as you please," He stated, standing uniformely before me. I couldn't help but smile. To think i am special to her. But the smile quickly escaped my face as the sound of a large explosion eminated from the castle, Its sound deafening. I struggled and regained my composer only to become startled again as a scream was heard from the window of the tower where the throne room was situated. Out of instinct, I yelled "Zelda!" and began to charge into the doors of the castle, Master Sword in hand. I navigated throughout the many confusing rooms when i finally came to the staircase where he had entered when he was transformed into my wolf form. Suddenly, and uncontrollably, i became entangled in a web of memories. "This is not the time for that," i said to myself. I shook the memories from my mind and entered into the throne room.
"Link!" Zelda yelled frantically as she backed against the opening that was supposed to be a window. A dark shadowy figure stood firm, poised to strike, and as i charged at it, It stood up straight, withdrawing the small dagger in its hand. All anger and hatred i previously sensed diminished.
