A/N I'm sorry it's late! (even though it's only a day late) Okay, I know I said last chapter I had all the characters in. I lied, there are two
more. I'll also tell you that I have quite a few chapters done, but you crazy people skip the ones I post and just read the latest one, so...One
at a time. (I might post throughout the week, who knows) Anyways, enough of my long winded Authors Note, and enjoy Chapter 10.
Chapter 10: An Explanation with Fire and Time
Raven landed at the entrance of Faron Woods, and she started walking.
"You already tired? Le said callously "I thought you had more stamina than that."
Raven continued walking, "Don't worry, I have a method to my madness."
Unleashed seemed to be satisfied with the answer "Well, call if you need me." She paused for a second "Or your blood will."
Raven then started hearing Unleashed breathing softly. Raven sighed, now she had some time to herself. She was beginning to think that maybe she shouldn't have left. Link must not have known that she didn't have wings or anything. Raven continued walking through the Faron Woods walkway, mind drifting to random things of Earth.
She was thinking about her life before she discovered her ability to go to other dimensions. Raven was an ordinary girl, long ago it seems, she would help her mother and play with the now nameless and faceless children from where she lived. Soon her mind brought up the bloody images of them and the town in flames. Raven shook her head, that was something she wanted to forget. Raven started looking around, she wanted something to distract her. The red-head soon saw, what looked like smoke. Fear soon came into her eyes,
"What the hell would cause a fire in Faron Woods? The only fire-causing monsters are in Eldin."
Raven soon formed her wings and flew towards the smoke, readying her pistol. She landed a few feet away from the fire (and put her wings away) and what she saw put her in shock. She saw a tall tan woman with equally long pitch black hair. The woman was wearing a long red dress and a sunset orange pea coat, and had on her head an orange headband decorated with red gems.
The woman looked at me with a friendly look, "Are you alright little one?" she looked at the flames "I took care of these unruly creatures."
Raven stood there in shock, this woman produced this fire? How was that possible? She soon laughed at herself, Raven was a genetically altered human-bird, and she was asking how this woman produced fire.
"So, what's your name little miss?" The woman asked Raven with a smile
"It…It's Raven" Raven stuttered shyly. She didn't like people calling her 'miss'.
"Well Raven, my name's FireBurst, you can call me 'Burst' for short." She gave me a friendly smile. "So what brings a little girl like you doing in a dangerous place like this?"
"Exploring." Raven replied, which was in a sense true. Raven just wasn't sure how much she trusted this woman. "Anyway, I should be going." And with that Raven walked towards the Faron temple.
"Wait!" FireBurst shouted, "You're going farther into this forest? Alone?"
Raven looked and Burst with distain "Is there a reason I shouldn't?"
"Well, there are monsters in here there and I don't think that a little kid like you can fend them off, alone."
Raven knew that Burst didn't mean to be insulting but it still was. She was fixing to tell her otherwise when she noticed a moblin, it was a blue one and it looked like it was trying to sneak up on FireBurst. In an instant, Raven drew her pistol and shot the beast. FireBurst spun around to look at what was shot at. Burst saw the beast, but it was on fire.
"How…how did you do that?" Burst said breathlessly
"I shot it, what did it look like?" Raven remarked putting her pistol away in her pocket.
"Guns don't set things on fire!"
"They also don't freeze things or shoot lightning."
FireBurst looked at her confused, "Are you saying that gun of yours can do that as well?"
Raven just nodded. "And now that I think that I have proven that I can handle myself, I'll be off."
Raven soon walked off leaving FireBurst behind.
"Can I come with?"
Raven sighed, this woman was being more trouble than she thought. However there was a saying that there was strength in numbers.
"Fine, you can come along."
The woman was soon walking next to her, "Thank you, little Raven."
Raven was starting to get on edge, she hated being called 'short' or anything of the like. So this wasn't Unleashed getting mad, no, it was Raven. Let's just say she has an 'Edward Elric' problem.
"Don't call me that…" Raven muttered, trying very hard not to attack this tall woman.
"Call you what? 'Little'?"
"Yes…I don't like being reminded about my height."
She seemed to understand, "Very well, I won't."
"So…how did you get to Hyrule? Your clothes don't look like they're from here." Raven asked after a while of walking.
"Hyrule? Is that where this is?" Burst looked around the forest.
Raven nodded. "The land is called Hyrule, the place we're in now is the Faron Province."
"Well, I've never heard of a place called Hyrule. I was just walking in a local national park, and the next thing I know I'm here being attacked by blue-skinned creatures."
"They're called moblins." Raven corrects.
"What about you? Surely you couldn't be only 'Exploring'?"
"I was actually forced here. I came through a portal, you most likely have as well. Anyway, I got away from my captor and now I'm here." Raven explained, she wanted to keep as much detail as she could away.
Burst nodded thoughtfully, "Can you think of any reason why someone would want to kidnap you?"
Raven shook her head, there was no way she was going to tell this lady she was a weapon of mass destruction. She only told Zelda because, well she was Zelda. But Raven didn't even know this lady, she preferred to keep her dark secrets to herself.
"So… do you know where we're going, Raven?"
"…Yes."
"Do you mind telling me where?"
"We're heading towards the Faron Temple, possibly to the sacred forest."
Burst nodded again, and didn't talk anymore. The rest of the walk was peaceful, well there were a few moblins here and there but it wasn't anything Raven and FireBurst couldn't handle. After getting out of a cave Burst and Raven came up to a small afro birds' shop.
"Hello! Buy something will ya?" The bird chirped
Raven shook her head, she didn't have any rupees and she doubted that FireBurst did either. "No thanks, maybe next time."
FireBurst soon engaged in a conversation with the bird. Raven decided to leave her be, this woman was helpful in some ways but she preferred to travel alone. As she turned, she saw a golden colored wolf with a red eye and a scar on one of its eyes. Raven walked in front of the wolf calmly, and bowed.
"It's nice to see you again, Time."
The wolf howled, and soon transformed into a young man about sixteen. He was wearing a green tunic and had bright blond hair. The teen smiled at Raven.
"It's nice to see you too. What brings you back to Hyrule?"
"A certain descendant of yours is acting…different." Raven replied struggling to find the right word.
Time looked at her confused, "Did he ask you out?"
The comment caught Raven off guard and started blushing, "N-no! It-It's a bad different. I mean not that I wouldn't mind, but- Oh Din, this is coming out all wrong!"
Time laughed, "I was just kidding. You already told me back during my time that you already have a lover."
"Time, this isn't about me! It's about Link!" Raven was starting to regret coming to her old friend for help.
The teen got a more serious look in his eye, "I know, I was the one who asked the goddesses to bring you and your friends here."
"You asked the goddesses?" Raven asked surprised. She didn't know that the Hero of Time was able to do that.
Time nodded, "Yes, I knew you are not able to do this alone. So, I asked the goddesses to set up dimensional portals to bring you and your friends here."
Raven shook her head, trying to process all of this, "So, you know what happened to Link?"
"Yes." Time nodded, "When the Mirror of Twilight was shattered, Links' beast and pure sides became two separate people."
"But what about Zelda?"
"It's likely that the beast version of Link has the powers of darkness, which were imbued into Link by Zant, were given to him. This could give him the ability to alter a person's memory."
Raven was starting to feel nervous, "How do I fix this?"
Time rubbed his chin, "I don't know. It's possible that the Twilight Princess would know how to fix this, but we have no way to go there."
Raven then got an idea, "Wait! I have a friend who might be able to help us. Time, do you happen to know where my friends are?"
The hero smiled, "Last time I checked, they were in Northern Hyrule field. I believe they are heading towards Hyrule castle to 'rescue' you."
Her face lit up, and she hugged Time. "Thank you Time, I knew you'd be able help me."
Time patted her head, "I will always help you, my Loftwing. I will wait for you and your friends at Arbiters Grounds."
And with that the Hero of Time faded away. Raven turned around and saw that FireBurst was still talking to the strange bird.
"Hey FireBurst, we're leaving soon!"
Burst ran up to Raven, "Do you get what you were looking for?"
Raven shook her head, "No, I found who I was looking for."
Burst just looked at her confused, "So, where is it we're going next?"
"North Hyrule field, we need to see if we can beat some people to Hyrule Castle town."
"But that might take days! How are we going to get there that fast?"
Just then Raven had an idea, "Burst, have you ever flown on a bird before?"
C/I (Look at last chapter for understanding)
Raven: That conversation with Time did not go how I thought it would...
Snow: Do you even know if that is the Link from Ocarina of Time?
Sunny: A lot of people think that.
Raven:(shrugs) I'm the kind of person who takes all the stuff I see and put it in as possible cannon.
Snow: So, when am I going to see you again? I forget...
Ruin: Were you not paying attention? It's most likely next chapter.
Naxo: Muffins!
Everyone: . . .
Naxo: Sorry, I just wanted to say something.
Raven: Think you can do the sign off?
Naxo: Yay! (confetti comes out every where) Raven dose not own the Legend of Zelda. Even if she really wants to. However, she dose own us.
Raven: and don't forget to Review or comment, it makes all of us happy! RavenThePirate out! :D
