Author's note: This chapter is going to be an interesting one as it tells of a few lost stories. I won't post next chapter without a review from somebody. So R&R!

Chapter 5: Legends

"Link," said one of the Sages, "listen to this story…

"Long ago, there existed three realms. The Twilight, the Sacred, and the Light. However, after the Twili were banished from Hyrule some harbored a new power and hatred for Hyrule…

"When the Twili Leader learned of this, he created a fourth realm and banished them to there.

"Almost 100 years later, the portal had reopened and the banished returned. When they returned, they used their new power on the Twili leader and killed him.

"Another leader of the Twilight was chosen and destroyed the portal to the realm now known as the Nightmare Realm. Somehow a second portal was created and they used it to enter the World of Light…"

Link stood, bewildered by the story in the center of the Mirror Chamber. "What about a second link to the Twilight Realm?" That got the Sages' attention.

"The other link is when all three Triforces are brought to the Sacred Grove. Here is the Triforce of Power's wielder…" the Sage transformed into a man in his mid-thirties with brown hair that was messed up enough to rival that of Link's, brown eyes, and a fierce look on his face that was frightening, but he did manage to slay four Darknuts all on his own.

Link got up to leave when a Sage said, "Wait. We have more to tell you.

"Now that your Master Sword is engulfed with the light, you are able to harness it like no other being could. For that blade could only have that power for you and only you. Now, the Master Sword is the first item that you need to help you win. The other four are hidden in four remote locations. One in the sky, one in the mountains, one in the cold, and one underwater.

"These items are known as the Light Items, for they have the power of Light bestowed upon them. These items were created during the Imprisoning War. When the neighboring countries of Holdrom and Labrynna began to rebel, these items were forged to help the Hylians out. They were a great asset to the army of that time, as the two countries were skilled in Dark Arts, and were vulnerable to the power of these items. The war was soon over, and Hyrule become more isolated than ever before.

"Realizing the power behind these artifacts, the King had them hidden and locked up for none to find. Many sought out to find these legendary items, but none were successful. After the King died, the great speculation of where these items were was lost and died with the King…"

"So, what are these items called?" asked Link.

"Due to them being made of Light, they are called: Light Mask, Light Wings, Light Shield, and Light Armor. There were clues regarding the location of these three items…

"The first clue was 'You need Me when you are open.'
The second clue was 'You need Me to find the heavens.'
The third clue was 'You will find Me where I will most likely be needed.'
The final clue was 'Wear Me or You will perish.'"

Link nodded to show that he understood what the Sages meant.

"We have two more stories to tell you that are about something we stumbled across real recent.

"We Sages were told by our ancestors to read a book through the Hero of Time's adventure. None of us knew that something happened between that time and now, until just a few days ago.

"Did you ever wonder where Ganondorf managed to find all those monsters that roamed Hyrule? We thought he got them from his evil power and Triforce. But we were wrong. The monsters came from a secluded realm known to very few due to its overpopulation of monsters. That realm is called the Beast Realm. It houses an item that is almost as powerful as the Master Sword. Its name is the Beast Sword. It is said that this sword allows the user to have animal instincts while maintaining human shape. As of right now, we have no idea where there may be a portal at.

"The Mirror of Twilight was not made in either the Twilight Realm or Hyrule. It was made in a remote realm that is one of the farthest corners of the Gateway Realm. The Gateway Realm is the place where all realms are connected. This realm is known as the Mirror Realm. All monsters there have the ability to reflect magic off of their bodies. The item you will be looking for there was used by the Hero of Time himself. The Mirror Shield. It will reflect all magic attacks back to the enemy.

"But be warned, if you happen to use both the Beast Sword and the Mirror Shield together… the results may be catastrophic."

Link, again, nodded to show that he understood. Realizing it was the last story he got ready to go when he heard something.

"Link… Link… LINK!" said a voice that sounded like it was echoed.

Startled, Link took the time to dig around in his bag for what could be making that noise. He felt something that he never felt before. When he pulled it out he saw that it was a mask from one of the Sages.

"Link, I'll be a good asset to helping you on your quest. For I hold knowledge of where these Light Items may be."

"Okay, where is the first item?"

"Link, your Master Sword alone will take of the current leader of the Nightmare Realm. You will need those other items for when the time comes. Right now you should get back to Castle Town, find Zelda, and the two of you should get some clues on the whereabouts of the current Power bearer. Here I will transport you to the Southern Entrance to Castle Town."

Link immediately saw a shining beam come down and engulf him. He was transported back to Castle Town.

"You're Majesty! You're Majesty!" yelled an unknown being.

"What?!" a female voice answered.

"The Nightmare Realm had reopened its portal and targeted the World of Light."

"The World of Light you say?"

"Yes, I know that you have friends there and would want to help them."

"I had friends there…"

"Please allow me to take the Army and whatever monster we got under control with us, Princess Midna of the Twilight Throne!"

"I would, but… I destroyed the Mirror of Twilight after Link saved Hyrule from Ganondorf and I was returned to my original form. However, you could help by looking for a link to it. Oh, one more thing, don't ever call me that again. You are excused."

The little being bowed, which wasn't much for his nose almost touched the ground, and left.

Midna sighed. Life in the Twilight Realm was so boring. There wasn't as much action as there was in Hyrule. In fact there was no action at all.

She wished that there would be scuffle here and there, but nothing like what Zant pulled.

Little did Midna know that she would get to be a part of a battle that would be unlike any other.
