A/N- FYI, people, we are going to start out with Link. Oh, and thanks for the review spiritofwater! And yes, bunnies are evil. You have to look out.
Disclaimer- I don't own Zelda or First Love or Passion or Hyrule's History. The last one belongs to spiritofwater. Thanks for letting me borrow it!
Link brought the Master Sword out as a reflex and Legan laughed coldly. "Don't be stupid, Link. Fate has brought us together, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to be rid of you quite yet. You see, I still have much to do before I kill you."
"What do you mean!?" Link demanded the younger girl, who merely laughed again in return. She waved her hand lightly, indicating for him to sit down.
"Now, now... I've made us all some tea. It is quite a shame that the Sage of Shadows had to leave. She would have been good company. After all, me and her go very far back. If you had listened to her in the first place you probably wouldn't be in this situation..." Legan murmured, pouring tea into some cups.
Link stared at her. "What do you mean? Are you saying that...?" Legan glanced up at him from her steaming cup of tea. She stood up and turned away from him, staring off blankly to where dawn was beginning to break.
"You really don't understand anything, do you?" Her tone was not insulting, but it did imply that she was being serious. Link felt anger grow in his chest.
"Of course I understand some things! Why wouldn't I-" Just then, Link stopped, feeling her small finger against his lips. Legan took another sip of tea before she began speaking again. And when she did, it sounded more like advice than anything.
"Link, you are too quick to anger these days. This is one of the main factors of you and Chelsya not being friends anymore. And if you're not careful, it will be the thing that rips her from her own life. Because Chelsya is not a fully recognized Sage, she still believes that she is mortal. Being to that fact, if she believes hard enough, then she can, indeed, still die."
Link felt shock come over himself. Die? Chelsya might kill herself because Link wasn't her friend anymore? That seemed... overly dramatic. But with Chelsya, you never know, Link thought to himself, feeling more worried than ever.
"Link, I have a magic that you nor any of your friends know about. You cannot track it, and it certainly isn't of those strange women that you call goddesses. It is my own magic that I have made. Almost anyone can use magic, but very few people can make their own magic." Legan sat down again, sipping her hot tea.
Link sat down next to the younger girl, sighing. She handed him some tea, and Link stared at it for a moment. "If you poisoned this thing, I'm going to kill you." He finally said, bringing the tea up to his lips. Legan laughed quietly at him.
"Link, if I were going to kill you right now, I would do it in a much different fashion, trust me. The tea is not poisoned, I just wanted you to test it so I could try it on the other people in this group. Besides, everyone should be waking up right now, so I wouldn't have time to hide your body and think up an explanation for why and where you went."
Link had to give her props, she certainly was a smart little girl who knew how to make very good tea. A smart evil little girl who knew how to make very good tea. As though on cue, Alayana began to wake up. Upon seeing them drinking the tea, she asked for some in a mumbled tone.
Alayana blinked as she looked around. "Hey... where's Chelsya? Is she still not back?" That was when she noticed that Shiroi was gone too. Alayana became fairly alarmed at that. "Oh no! Where did she go?! Link-" Legan put her finger on her lip, the smart, evil face that was on her face before, replaced by a blind and confused one.
"I, to be honest, don't know where Chelsya went. She just told me that she was leaving." Link sighed and Alayana narrowed her eyes at him. She suddenly blinked, as though she had a connection with something and it had just been broken.
Aurus sat up and immediately began complaining about how she was hungry. Shiro woke up as the result of Aurus's loud complaining and Link sighed. There wasn't enough time to be worried about Chelsya right now. They had to hurry to get to the castle.
Chelsya sighed as she looked around. The road was long and without much company... ah well. She didn't mind that much. After all, at least she wasn't talking to that annoying boy Link.
Chelsya sighed as she began thinking about Link. Sure enough, he was fairly handsome, but he could get on Chelsya's nerves so easily. He seemed to be able to get mad really easily these days, too. But the worst thing about him is that she knew he would never love her.
She began to sigh to herself, trying to calm herself. Link was, after all, who she loved the most.
"The time that had stopped seems to start moving
Just all the things I don't want to forget
Tomorrow at this time
I will surely be crying
Probably thinking of you"
"You will always be inside my heart
Since there will always be the place for you
I hope that I have a place in your heart too
Now and forever you are still the one
Now it's still a sad love song
Until I can sing a new song"
She blinked, feeling a presence from somewhere around her. She turned Shiroi around, glaring at everything that was around her. Chelsya blinked as she saw a woman in the middle of the road, and the first thing that Chelsya noticed about her was that her hair was black, just like Legan's.
"You're from Areu, aren't you?" Chelsya hissed, speaking in a completely different language. "What are you doing here?!" The woman stared at her for a moment before a cruel smile reached the woman's lips.
"What are you doing here, she asks..." The woman whispered. "She asks in such a tone. She sings our song, she does. She sings songs of our people and does not think of it. Why does the girl be like this wonders I. Neither of us are getting our questions answered soon."
Chelsya felt anger tighten in her throat. She hated these people so much... what were they doing here in Hyrule? One is usually normal, but to see two... that was not normal. Chelsya shook her head in anger and proceeded to turn Shiroi around, wishing to be as far away from this woman as possible. That was not meant to be, though.
"Sage of Hyrule!" She cried. "Wherefore art thou going?" The woman now spoke in ancient Hylian, much to the surprise of Chelsya. "Dost it please thou to make one wonder of the rest of thine song? Pray, tell a song of old folk lore. Let thine voice ring across the mountain tops!"
Chelsya turned to the woman, still speaking in Areusin, the language of Areu. "And why should I? Why should I sing for one of your kind? All your kind have ever done to me is tried to do is hurt me." The woman cackled at this.
"And why not, little flower of thine world? I shall beseech unto thee a great blessing should thou." Chelsya lifted one of her eye brows in suspicion. People of Areu often lied, as she had learned long ago.
"And what exactly would be this 'blessing' of yours?" The woman smiled and walked up to Chelsya. She placed a hand atop the girl's, a look of pure happiness and evil on her face. Now that Chelsya could see her closer, she saw that the woman could be no older than twenty-five. Her black hair went half-way down her back, and her eyes were black and shined brightly.
"The greatest girt you could ever want..." The woman said. "My gift to you is amnesia. The thing you have wanted the most in your life is to forget everything that has ever happened to you." Chelsya's eyes widened at this, and when she spoke her voice trembled.
"W-what... who are you?" The woman kept that same smile on her face.
"My name is Kuro, and I have come to bring you out of deliverance." This made Chelsya's face turn even paler. This woman was the most feared person in all Areu. She was supposed to be able to live forever, because, according to legend, she wasn't alive.
She was also the Black Angel, or, as some people put it, the Angel of Death.
Chelsya got off Shiroi and knelt down in front of Kuro. "Black Angel, my apologizes! Please, do not hurt me... I knew not!" Kuro laughed at her, in a cruel fashion.
"Of course, I knew that you would realized who I am, Sage of Hyrule. Sing to me, or I'll take you up in my wings and bring you to somewhere that you would not care to go right now!" She commanded.
Chelsya felt tears come to her eyes as she began to sing., hoping for death not to come to her quite yet.
"When I remember back far, far
The future... was forever shining
Below the pretty blue sky
We were only frightened a little"
Link looked up, feeling a sudden pang in his heart as he thought about Milly. Was she okay? Link could only ponder these things as he rode on Epona. And then was Chelsya okay? Link hoped that she was.
"The window is stained with sorely missed colors
If I deep looking forward
Will I meet you again?
Because the future... really continues on forever
Underneath a large sign
I want to watch time change"
Aurus bit her bottom lip, looking around. Sudden feelings purged through her soul. From feelings of regret, to feelings of love towards Sheik. She hoped that they would be able to make it there on time so she could see Sheik before he got too important to see her anymore.
"Towards the people, the places
I will never see again
I open this window"
Alayana sighed, looking over her shoulder. Everything seemed so irrelevant right now. Everything that they were working towards, and anything that might happen after that moment. She closed her eyes, wishing that there was some way to stop this pain that ached in her chest.
"When I remember back far, far
The future... was forever shining
Below the pretty blue sky
We slept endlessly"
Legan looked up, feeling magic of old being at play. A magic that allowed everyone and everything feel what a certain person was feeling. Right now the person was feeling hurt in just remembering anything and wanted to let it all go.
"The person I loved long ago
Is to have a child in winter
Sometimes I just want to doubt
Our promises made long ago"
Zelda looked around, blinking rapidly. What was this... this feeling? The feeling of amazing pain and hurt. Zelda felt a tear come from her eye and slide endlessly down her cheek. What was this all of the sudden?
"I could never forget
I wonder if your New Year's card will have a picture
I just look back and miss
All the things we could never do"
Sheik glanced up from his book, wondering what was going on. He glanced at Zelda, who seemed to be having the same reaction and feeling the same thing that he did. He put Hyrule's History down, the book that he was reading at that moment.
"My fears, my lies
Below the blue sky"
Chelsya closed her eyes and let Kuro's hand go. She fell to the ground, sleep filling her body and soul. Kuro knelt down next to her and brushed her hair out of Chelsya's face. She looked so peaceful while she slept.
Kuro pushed Chelsya's hair off her neck, brushing her fingertips lightly against the girl's pale skin. She brought her lips close to Chelsya's neck, and extended her fangs from her lips. For, you see, the people Areu are not human. They are not human at all.
If you can picture a vampire, an elf, and an angel all mixed together, you have a person of Areu.
They are vile, despicable creatures who always have pale skin and black hair. They feed on blood, as vampires do, but they have magic of the earth and have long, pointed ears. They appear, to most, to be sweet innocent creatures as angels are. They are very uncommon in Hyrule, and are supposed to be the children of Kuro, the Angel of Death.
"You were both fools..." Kuro hissed, her fangs nearly on top of Chelsya's neck. "You were fools to leave each other. Now I can kill you with ease. Be prepared for death, Hyrule. For that is what we, the Areu, wish to bring to you."
Disclaimer- OH! I didn't even think about putting that in until the very last second! This is a really good chapter for me! I dunno, but I've introduced more confusion to the world of yours, my dear reader. Don't worry, I'm still wondering what's gonna happen, too! Lol! Please, R&R.
