Chapter 4 -Who she is-

Did you guys see the edited ending? I changed the ending on the last chapter. It's a bit better XD. And i made a poll. make sure to vote on that XD you can vote for 3 of the options if your torn between the choices.

This chapter is basically an explanation of things i put into the story: Serena, Requipping and the story's plot XD If i miss anything make sure to tell me and i'll edit it in… well for the most part i answered all he obvious questions. Some were left out to be explained later.

Serena opened the door to her house. It didn't creak because of the oil she put on beforehand. She slumped against the door, setting her boxed package against the wall and the trekked to the kitchen. She took a bottle of cold water and stepped back into the living room. Her throat dry from the long explanation she gave to Raven/Link.

She sighed 'i knew i shouldn't have given him those boots.' And she took a sip of the cool water and sat down on the couch. After Raven had caught her he forced her to tell him exactly what was up. And after every answer came several questions. She ended up telling him the whole story.

(5 minutes ago)

"Wait. Let me get this straight" Raven had stopped walking alongside her. "So I am 100 years into the future? This is the new Hyrule? And there is a new hero with my name?"

"Yes, yes and yes." She had been confirming everything she just said for the past few minutes. "Why do you think i made you change your name and clothes? In a few days or so he'll be out among Hyrule looking just like you, saving the land from The bad guy. Which i hear in this case is Zant, though I still think Ganondorf will pop up somewhere. He always does."

(present)

So she told him about the new hero, being 17 of age instead of a child like he was, His life in Ordon. Of course she knew about all this. It was her job to watch them after all. Serena looked at the pacing Raven through the window. He was still piecing all this together. She took another sip of her drink. Sooner or later he would notice he knows nothing of his kidnapper.

Yes she told him how he really fell unconscious and why she did it. He was a bit surprised when she told him, like he didn't expect her to hit so hard. But now they both had large bumps growing on their heads, so they were even. He had asked how he got here but even the seemingly all knowing 14-year old doesn't know.

"Must be fate." she told him. "There should be something you need to do here… That or the goddesses just like messing with you." To that she earned a knuckle to the head.

Raven/Link must have either realized he doesn't know a thing about Serena or he has another question.

"What is your real name?" Link asked eyeing the girl on the couch once he was inside the house.

'tch, all of the above..' "Ah, it's still Serena. Or else i wouldn't have been able to get my box here." She gestured to the box. 'Here it comes' she thought.

"How do you know all this?" Raven/Link leaned against the wall behind him. He was facing Serena. She exhaled a deep breath.

"Well i guess you could say it is my duty to know."

"What?" He raised his right eyebrow asking for an explanation.

"Might as well say the whole story, huh?" She took a deep breath. "First how many people do you know have black hair." Link stayed quiet. "Yeah, black hair is pretty uncommon in Hyrule. In this Hyrule there is only three other people who have black hair other than me. One i am not so sure of… i might just be dark brown hair i never had a very good look." Serena makes a face at trying to decide what color it was. "Anyway they were all human, while I-" She pulls back her hair to uncover her pointed ears. "am hylian."

"Half hylian to be exact. I am half Hylian and half Sheikah." She got up from the couch and walked over to the bookshelf. "I could get all into my family history but to make the story short." She pulled out a large purple book from the bottom of the shelf. "One of my ancestors was Hylian the other was Sheikah. They took it upon themselves to watch over your decedents and made it our family purpose."

"So that explains your eyes." Raven said out of the blue.

"What?" She thought about it for a while. "Ah yes, it does. Blue and red mixed to make purple eyes." She opened the book and started flipping through the pages. "So my family was like your secret service. Hidden helpers, who are devoted to keeping your legend alive." She finally found the page she was looking for. "Which I must say is pretty hard right now, since your heroic act didn't happen here."

"Wait what?"

"I told you this a while ago. When you were sent back in time by Zelda you created 2 separate worlds. This is technically the one you were sent back to. The other one was… well I'm not sure exactly what happened to it. That was all was written by my ancestors." Serena showed him the book. It was all written in Ancient Hylian. Raven flipped through the book. There were a few sketches of monsters, some were familiar and others were completely new.

"wow…" The sketches were very detailed. Each having no less than 10 notes by them.

"okay, enough of that. so-"

"Wait." He had turned to the hero's page. It contained information on the other heros and their adventures. "Why did your family devote themselves to this?" Serena came over to see what he was talking about.

"ah yes that.. well… umm." She bit her lip and in one quick notion she swiped the book from his hands. "That i will explain another time." Her eyes looked away.

"So…" She put the book back in the shelf. "My name is Serena. I am part sheikah part hylian. And my family researches your very existence and legend. Anything else you want to know 'cause i'm not going to say everything?" Raven shook his head slowly, uncertain.

"good now-"

"Hold on." Serena smacked her forehead and glared at him. "I have one more question."

"of course." She sighed. "if you have one now you'll have one later. So what is it?"

"When you gave me these clothes… Where exactly did you get them? It seemed as if you pulled them from nowhere."

"huh?" Serena thought about it for a moment. "Oh yeah, that. That was nothing really don't worry about it. So-"

"But i want to know." Raven stared at her. Serena stared back then decided to go ahead and tell him. 'What the heck. it won't do any harm to tell him.'

"That was requipping." She demonstrated by equipping a lance. It appeared in a flash of light expanding into the shape of the lance. Raven/Link was astounded. Serena just enjoyed the face of surprise he made and requipped her bow and arrows. "Requipping equipping and exquipping weapons in an instant. Some people can even requip clothes and armor. I am one of those people."Raven opened his mouth to ask something but Serena saw it coming.

"You requip items that you have in a storage area. For clothing you can requip clothes you have in front of you or maybe in your hands."

"woooow… This would have really helped when i was in the water temple…"

"Yeah it is a really useful skill. But learning it can be tricky. I can only do it this freely because I have years of experience. If you don't do it correctly you'll end up damaging the weapon. And if you're requipping clothes… that is a different story." She put her hands to her face remembering what happened when she was learning it. She peeked from behind her fingers. Raven's face was practically screaming what was on his mind. Naturally, she answered it. "No."

"Whaaa~t!" Link made a face. The child in him resurfacing even after the years he relived. "Why the goddesses not?"

"Because… well what exactly do you plan to do with this skill? You're not going to go into anymore dungeons now that your hero adventure is over. You won't need to requip weapons and clothes."

"But- but still!" Raven's eyes grew unnaturally large.

"My no, is final, and stop making that face!" Serena stomped her foot in anger. "Give me one good reason to why you need to learn this skill."

"Well you know it, so why can't I. And I have a bunch of heavy equipment in my bag. If I was able to requip them I wouldn't need to carry all of them around like that."

"Well… you…" Serena wracked her brain for an answer. "what happened to that fairy pouch that you used for your hero of time quest… thing… Doesn't that hold unlimited amounts of items?"

"It doesn't work without a guardian fairy. It's just a regular pouch now."

"What! Oh you got to be kidding me.." She put her hand to her neck to cool it. 'Wait there are hardly any of those fairies left. Then what will the new hero do with all of the equipment?' She drifted into her thoughts. Raven noticed and stepped a little closer to her. ' Ah well… It'll work out somehow…still... I should see for myself.' She got up suddenly. This sudden movement startled Raven/Link. 'Hmfp more stalking.'

Serena walked outside forgetting that Raven was there. She took out a map that she had bought in castletown. It was dirtied with a few of her added notes and corrections. The map makers of this time weren't very accurate. Cowards won't dare enter the monster infested areas, which for some reason, was increasing according to her edited map. Nonetheless she needed something to work off of. No way could she make her own. She didn't have the time from stalking the hero to setting up the dungeons, with compasses and maps and maybe disabling a few traps. Her job as a legend writer wasn't easy but… it was all she had.

"Now." She put her finger on the map. There were still some blank holes in her map. "Is there a shortcut to Ordon?" Raven looked over her shoulder. He spoke softly, careful not to scare her.

"What's in Ordon?"

"The best cheese in Hyrule." She brushed him of her shoulder.

"Is that so?"

"They also have great pumpkins." She replied nonchalantly. Raven thought to himself and the peeked over her shoulder again. He took one last look at the map, memorized what direction Ordon was, since Serena had oh so kindly marked where her house is, and headed toward the shortest path.

It took a while for Serena to notice the absence and when she looked up, Link was 10 yards away. Unfortunately that distance was no match for the speed of the half shiekah. And she had successfully caught him by the collar in no more than a minute.

"And where do you think you're going?" She didn't turn him around. She just walked along side him, her hand still gripping his collar.

"Your heading is Ordon right?" He didn't wait for her answer. "I thought I could get a little head start since you always seem to get one." Serena was lost for words.

'Din dammit why can't I think of anything to say? Now of all times, Really?' She made an irritated face and decided to answer it simply.

"Well, I was planning on going there alone." Was she? She didn't know.

"So you were going to let me stay in your house alone?"

"…"

"I noticed how you don't have a lock in any of your rooms except the bathroom. I could have just walked out and go by myself. I do remember that you kidnapped me so that you could watch over me. Am I right?" Serena gritted her teeth regretting what she told him. "So do you want me with you or not?"

What should she do? If she lets him go with her it would be even harder to spy on the other Link. Not to mention she would have to tell him that she was spying on his decedents. And if she doesn't he'll go to Ordon himself. He doesn't know who's there does he? But his curiosity would certainly bring him to Ordon and meet the other link.

He knows the way there. She could feel the confidence in his direction. It was like he was in his own hyrule, knowing where to go. Except he didn't. He doesn't know about this hyrule's monsters.

They've changed since the last time he's seen them. And if he doesn't know how to deal the proper damage he'll end up getting hurt. And of course, She could not let that happen. There is that option of not going to Ordon at all, but she was sure that in somehow Link will sneak off himself. Link being adventurous as he is will most certainly want to be about this new Hyrule. And of course will be drawn to the forest of Faron. Ordon would then be a walks away.

Serena sighed. She'll have to reveal something to him once more. Though it shouldn't be such a big deal, it was one for Serena. 'I don't want him to think of me as a stalker… At least i can stay with him.'

"FIne."

"what do you mean?" Raven/Link had already forgot what they were talking about. Serena's train of thought had taken a considerably large amount of time. They had got quite the distance away from Serena's house. They couldn't even see the Castle.

"You can come with me." She replied and let go of his smiled in response. "But there are a few things i need to tell you."
