Chapter 8: Hermione the Forest Sage.
Harry turned around abruptly while drawing his sword and shield, and saw a man, wearing Shiekah clothes. He was standing in front of the Pedastal of Time with his arms at his sides.
"I am Sheik. As I see you standing there wielding the mythical Master Sword, I know the world can be saved. Harry, As you know, Tom took the Triforce from the Sacred Realm, and spread his evil all over the world. There are five critical places that he had touched. Each one was the resting place of a sage. One is in a vast forest. One is on a high mountain. One is under a deep lake. One is in the village of the Shiekah. One is within the Goddess of the sand. These five places all house the dead sages replacements, but they cannot hear the waking call from the Sacred Realm. In order to save the world, you must awaken those five sages and defeat the evil. Then the Sage of Time will seal it away."
"Wait, seal it? Why not kill it?"
"Because the holder of the Triforce of Power cannot be killed, unless you win the Triforce piece from him." Shiek sighed. "It's best you start at the Forest Temple."
Harry nodded and left the temple.
Inside Tom's Castle:
Tom was pacing at the peak of his castle. He then got an idea.
"Phantom Voldemort, come here!"
A phantom that carried a slight resemblance to his current appearence came forward.
"Go to the Forest Temple. Go and prevent Harry from saving that girl. She could really screw up my plans."
"Yesssss, ssssire."
Back with our hero:
He headed back to the castle town, and saw that it was still being ravaged. He helped defeat the creatures. He then left Hyrule Market, and headed for Kokiri Forest. It was a long walk, but he managed to reach it. Upon entering, he was shocked. The place was overrun with evil plants and other things. He narrowly avoided being eaten alive by a Giant Deku Baba, and destroyed it. He ran for the temple, deep in the forest. He came to it, and saw that Hermione's favorite stump was empty. He walked over to it, and heard a whooshing sound. He turned and saw Shiek walking to him
"The forest is plagued with the evil from outside. Hagrid wasn't able to stop it's growth. he fought valiently, and managed to hide away. But it won't last long. In order to save him and the forest, you must break the spell on the temple, and free the guardian sage. She will use her magic to send the evil away." He smiled." Music is a strong magic. It is able to put beasts to sleep, change a creatures moods, and even teleport people from one place to another. The Minuet of Forest, a song to guide you here. It's magic will teleport you to the pedastal you see there." He played the song on his harp, and Harry played along, memorising the notes. He put his ocarina away, as Shiek put his harp away. The Shiekah backed up, and threw a deku nut, vanishing in the flash. Harry climbed up to the temple entrance, and walked in. He walked through the hallway, and kept seeing the same painting everywhere.
Soon, he heard the crackling of electricity, and turned around, just to be hit by a streak of lightning. He knew he had to keep on his toes, so he drew his sword and shield, and ran toward it, but it faded into the painting. He looked around, but was struck by lightning again. Several times they played this cat-and-mouse game, and Harry was getting bloodier and bloodier each time. He missed the phantom again, and was struck by lightning again, collapsing.
"I... won't... give... up.... There... must... be... a... way... to... beat... him...."
He looked around, and saw a bow and arrow. he staggered to his feet, and ran to it. he picked it up, and focused his attention on the swirl of energy that was appearing. he focused his power, and in a flash of light, the arrow changed. It got sleeker, and more fancy. The arrow tip was sharper, and the entire thing was a golden color. It just radiated pure light. Phantom Voldemort came out, and Harry let the Light Arrow fly. The Phantom tried to change direction, but like like lightniong, he was pierced. Light started pouring out of his body as it glowed white As more light poured out, the sillouette shrunk, until it evaporated and the light zapped upward, before vanishing.
Harry panted, and collapsed on one knee. Suddenly, a girl around Harry's current age appeared. She had long brown hair, and she wore a green witch's robe. She smiled.
"Hermione? Is that you?"
"Yes, It's me. It's been seven long years since the death of our guardian tree. Because his magic was no longer in the forest, all the Kokiri grew up normally. Everyone you knew as kids are now adults. If the Guardian tree were still alive, we'd still be kids."
"Harry smiled slightly. In the shadows, Sheik, who was watching his battle, had gone slack jo\awed as Harry summoned the Light Arrow.
"He shouldn't have been able to summon the Light Arrow. It takes a lot of magic, which he wouldn't have yet. It seems that that scar is no ordinary cut. Dumbledore was right. I should pay attention to him while I can. He'll need me later." Shiek's voice was surprisingly feminine right now, but was too soft for Harry to hear, or so he thought. Sheik pulled his left gloove off, suddenly an image of a triple triangle appeared, the right one shining.
'So, that's where Susan went... I figured she'd be somewhere safe, and here she is, pretending to be a boy, hiding in plain sight.' Harry sighed.
"Harry, I must go now, to the Chamber of Sages. I can help you better there."
Harry smiled.
"Ok, stay safe."
"I will. You stay safe too." With that, she cast a spell, to reverse all the damage the phantom did. Then she cast another spell, to seal the evil found in the forest away, into a small jewel, which was kept in the temple. She then vanished. Harry also left, heading for the next temple. The Temple of Fire.
Meanwhile:
Tom slammed his hand on his chair arm.
"He has the power of Light? The power of Light that was sought after for many millenia? He's going to be tougher to beat than I thought. But as long as he doesn't have the powers of Fire and Ice, I can still win. By the way, AVADA KEDAVRA!!" The sound of a body hitting the floor resounded around the room, as Tom played the organ.
