Chapter 23

Eldin Province: Kakakiro Village, Eldin's Spring

Link's P.O.V

*******

I never thought that Zelly, a quirky little girl, would ever be able to carry the fate of Hyrule on her shoulders at such a young age.

I'm pretty sure Midna thought so too.

But, hey that's just life.

And trust me I should know.

Not the point though. I looked down at the unconious girl with a soft expression.

She only appeared to be sleeping.

Eldin must've saw the soft yet troubled look on my face, for he said gently, "She'll be fine young one. If I remeber correctly, Zelly was always hurting herself, but that didn't stop her."

I retuned my gaze to him, with a small smile on my face. Midna who was floating right beside me, said to Eldin, " Eldin, will you tell us just who Zelly is and what we're dealing with?"

Eldin nodded his head. "Yes. Like I told you before, Latias thought it would be best if none of us told Zelly about the power sleeping within her unless if something important happened. Of course we kept our promise. Ordona has watched Zelly and two of her childhood friends grow up. But even then, the foe you face had started to corrupt Hyrule."

Eldin paused for a moment.

"So just who is our foe?" I dared to ask. Something deep within me told me I wasn't going to like the answer.

And I was right. For Eldin had obtained a look of deep sorrow and sadness.

He looked down at Zelly.

For a long moment, he didn't speak, the only sound heard was the sound of the Spirit's steady wingbeats.

Then he said with sorrow clear in his godly voice, "The one responable for the corruption of Hyrule's Light Spirits....is none other than Zelly's older brother Okotto."

Midna's eyes widen with shock. I felt like someone had impaled me with my own sword.

"M-m-my.....b-brother?" asked a choked voice.

All three of us looked down at Zelly, whose pretty sea-green eyes were opened and filled with tears.

She tried to sit up, but I stopped her from moving to much.

Eldin looked at her. Everyone was silent. Zelly spoke again.

"How long has it been, Eldin-Sama? I...suddenly remember everything......" she said, in between soft sobs.

I could tell something was different about her, like the atmosphere around her had changed completly.

Eldin stared past her, as if looking for something lost in the soft mist that surrounded us.

"Zelly, please understand that it was a difficult poisition. We, as the Light Spirits, didn't want to seal your dragon part or your spiritual powers."

I looked at Zelly and I felt a stab of pity for her. It really must be hard for her right now.

She shook a little and sobbed again. I knelt down beside her, letting her use my body as support.

"Why?" she asked, gently. She drew in a long rattling breath, then looked down.

"Zelly..." Midna said gently.

Then she looked up at him, a glint of anger in her pretty eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?! Why, Eldin-Sama?!" Zelly shouted, anger, hurt, and sorrow, all clear in her slightly unearthly voice.

Eldin looked at her.

He could tell she was hurt by this.

Then he said in a calm voice, "Zelda, Ordona wanted to tell you....Like the rest of us did. We all wanted to tell you about the source of your powers. But we couldn't. Please try to understand that Latias didn't want you to die at the hands of your wicked brother. She ask this of us because she loved you."

Zelly lowered her gaze.

She turned into my tunic and sobbed loudly.

I sat there and allowed her to. After all, everyone needs a moment to cry or let it out.

Eldin then said to me, "Latias wanted to ask you something Hero."

I looked up at him, ready to accept whatever Latias wanted from me.

"What did she want to know?" I asked, vagly rocking Zelly back and forth.

"Latias wants to know if you would watch over Zelda, in her quest to fulfil her destiny?" Eldin said.

I nodded my head and said, "Of course I will."

Eldin nodded his head then said, "I know you have at least two of the Souls. I have the other four. Please take them and save Lynayru."

Then Eldin began to disappear. As he did, a small rainbow colored light appeared in Midna's hands.

The light took on the shape of a small gray draw string pouch. Midna opened it and four small crystals came floating out.

The first one I noticed was bright yellow and and shaped like a thunderbolt. The one next to that was deep blue and shaped like tear-drop.

The flaoting nearst to Midna was a pretty violet color and shaped like Zelly's bow, a crescent moon.

And the Last was, the prettiest one out of all of them in my opinon.

It was pale pink, and in the shape of a star-like flower.

I would guess that would be the Light Soul.

Midna put the red Fire Soul and the Earth Soul with others as the Souls glowed brightly.

Then they went back into the pouch.

Zelly looked up at me. I smiled at her.

"Shall we get going? Or shall we take you to Ordon and let you rest a while?" I asked her.

She shook her head and tried to stand. But her legs wobbled like an oversized Chu and she wound up on her ass.

"Well, I guess we head back to my house then." I said, stiffling a chuckle, and helping her up.

I pulled her right arm over my shoulder and supported her wieght.

Zelly looked at me with a shocked expression on her face.

"Link, we can't!" Zelly protested.

I sighed deeply. I listened to her protests as I helped her to Epona.

Finally, I gave her a hard wolf stare that made her shut up.

"Zelly, listen. Your in no condition to be travling. I think you broke a few ribs when that piller hit you." I told her.

Midna floated over to us. "Yeah, besides, you need it the time to recover anyway." Midna said.

She had both Zelly's Bow and it's quiver.

Then she hid in my shadow without another word.

I helped Zelly onto Epona , then mounted her myself.

Then we set off for Ordon.

****************

Meanwhile: Nether-World, Someone's castle.

Thrid Person

The Hell Beasts with the blood red armor, returned to thier Master's hideout.

Though it was mearly to give a report, the Hell Beasts knew they were going to get it.

Once again the figure of their master was half consealed in the darkness.

"So....they healed Eldin did they?" he asked them, in a cold voice.

The two Hell Beasts looked betwen eachother, then grunted something.

Their master turned towards them.

"You sicken me, you that? It seems that I'll have to call out my most faithful, servent. Lisat! Get in here!" he called.

From out of the darkness rose a boy of 11 (that looked an awful lot like toon link only with a few diffences, the Tunic was black, the hair white, and the eyes red but the skin was the same as toony's too).

"You called, Master?" he said. He threw a mocking glance at the two Hell Beasts. Trying to piss them off even more.

"It's up to you, now Lisat. The girl is weak from her battle, capture her and extract the Soul Force from her." he said to him.

Lisat smiled smugly. "And after what do you wish for me to do with her once I extract her Soul Force?"

"Do whatever you want with her. She will have no use to me once her the Soul Force is gone."

Lisat bowed saying, "As you wish Lord Okotto."

Then he disappeared into the darkness once more.

******************

Ordona Province: Ordon Village, Link's House.

Link's P.O.V

"Ow! Link stop it! It hurts!" Zelly wailed, slapping my hand away.

We were back at my house and I was busy tending to Zelly's wounds.

She was currently standing in her bra and underwear, while I appiled some some healing cream into the nasty bruise she gotten when the piller smashed into her.

Let me tell you, that sucker of a piller really hit her hard, for the bruise started halfway up her back and ended at the lower chest area.

"Zelly stop struggling, please. Your making it hard for yourself." I warned her. God did she always have to act like a child? She shivered a little.

"There's unfriendly breeze blowing though!" Zelly complained. I could feel a bubble of laughter coming on but I managed to surpress it.

"Well, then, the sooner you stop struggling, the sooner you can put your tunic back on." I said, putting some more of the light green cream into my bare hand.

Zelly held still and I started to rub it on. Once that was over she put her white tunic back on.

"Whew. That's much better," I heard her say.

Midna was over in the corner watching the whole sence.

I bet she was still laughing on the inside about how Zelly nealy cleaved open my skull when I told her she had to remove her tunic, so I could put the cream on.

It still hurt little where she hit me. That girl can shoot a bow and throw a good punch.

"Well now, you feel better?" Midna asked her. She was obviously trying to make Zelly feel better about herself.

I sat on my bed, and watched Zelly poke around my house, not really touching anything but looking.

"Ummm, how shall I put this, no." she said flatly.

Midna and I exchanged a surprised glance then we turned towards Zelly.

"Well are you going to tell us what's bugging you?" I asked, not un-kindly.

"No."

"No? what do you mean 'no?' Zelly come on! Please tell us, we're your friends, you can trust us, you know that." said Midna, putting a hand on Zelly's shoulder.

She sighed and turned around. I could tell she lost deep within her own thoughts and memories.

"I...just don't know anymore.....everything's so different......yet...I feel this lingering feeling of loss. I feel as if I lost someone who was close to me." she said, faintly.

"Can you name them?" I questioned her. I really wanted to get the old Zelly back, you know, the one who would start fight with Midna?

Hey, those fights were funny.

Zelly shook her head.

"No...though, his name it's echos in my head like a half forgotten lullaby. I all I can remeber of him was him shouting my name." she said.

After that Zelly refused to speak anymore about it. I told Zelly she should at least stay indoors, and stay off her feet.

Of course, she didn't want to. But after a couple of threats of Twilight magic from Midna, Zelly finally did what she was asked to.

I had to leave the house for a couple of things we would need on our quest, so Zelly was there by herself.

While I was my erans, I saw Ilia approuche me.

She had a huge smile on her face as she ran over to me.

"Link! Hi!" she said, happily.

I smiled at her and somehow got into a small conversion.

Uhh, no it wasn't small at all, I completely forgot about Zelly being at my house unattended to.

And Zelly is the type of girl you have to keep constant watch over.

It seemed like everytime I lefted her, she got into trouble, like a newborn dragon hatchling, always sticking her nose into something that might bite back.

When I realized this, I almost paniced. Ilia asked me why and I quickly made up a story of leaving my sink running.

I hate lieing to my friends. As I rushed back to the house I heard Midna mutter, "If she's not there, I'm going to pin you to the floor with my magic."

I looked down. "Why do I have to be pinned to the floor?" I demanded.

"Because it was you who lost track of time drooling over that girl friend of yours," was the rude reply.

I igroned that and quickly climbed the ladder. I bust open the door.

And to my un-suprised, not to mention dead wolf butt, Zelly was gone.

Where could Zelly gone? Oh who's knows. Read the next chapter and you'll find out. If yo care to take a guess at where she went, them the prize is a batch of my home made Yoshi's Island Cherry filled Browines.

Review and you two Brownies. See ya Later!
