Chapter 6 an angry princess

"YOU IDIOT!" Zelda shouted as she slapped Link across the face, "what would compel you to touch the sword of Shadows? When I'm done with you you'll wish you were killed by your Shadow!""Calm down Zelda, he was sent by his brother to touch it, he wanted to see if it was safe to touch." The figure said. "Fine, but you try anything like that again and I'll blast your head off! Anyway Mr. Ah Mr." Zelda said to which the figure replied, "You can call me Shade."

"Mr. Shade why have you come to see me?" asked Zelda. "You have some information about the sword of Shadows, correct?" replied Shade. "Only what I've read from books, the sword of Shadows has multiple powers including deceit, manipulation, corruption, fear, and death. These powers should not be taken lightly as he will use all of them in order to achieve his goals, or so the legend says. I should also mention " Recalled Zelda.

"PRINCESS ZELDA!" one of the guards screamed. "What is it officer pale face?" asked Zelda with great sarcasm. "All insults aside your highness, but the Four Sword is broken!" the guard announced. "WHAT! This is your fault you idiot!" accused Zelda slapping Link again. "Zelda this is no time to be pointing fingers our first priority is to get the four sword repaired," Shade said pulling them apart, "once again a hero must go to the earth sanctuary to obtain the earth element."

"HIM? A hero HA!" insulted Zelda, "well, get going!" Link, who felt like dirt now, rushed out the door off to the forest. "I'd better go with him, to make sure he even knows where to go," sighed Shade.

Meanwhile in the temple of time…

"Normally I'd destroy you and do this my self but I have a job only you can do," said Vaati. Shadow Link of course hated his master and was happy to see that they were already at the temple of time; Shadow Link kicked open the doors allowing Vaati to get in.

Vaati felt insecure, "this place feels too sacred, how is this the source of my power?" Dark Link ignored this and instead pointed in the direction of the door of time. "This door, behind this door is where I can get all of my power, you are sure of this yes?" Vaati asked with Dark Link nodding in reply. "It will take a while to open it so in the mean time keep people from bothering me," ordered Vaati. Vaati was talking to nobody however as Shadow Link had already left.

In the forest…

Link looked frightened as he went toward his former home, the forest was not nearly as full of monsters as it is now, Link still upset that he caused everything to happen even if it really was more his brothers fault, the world wanted a scapegoat and Link was it.

Everywhere he went people who had once considered him their friend gave him frightened stairs and sometimes even spat at him. Shade helping him didn't seem to make things much better considering he had a tendency to disappear when he actually needed help and the off times he did give help often caused Link to have even more problems like, "to open the way to the sanctuary you must use the key you haven't been told about yet and I'm certainly not going to tell you where it is." "Yeah that was helpful," said Links expression. Shade seemed preoccupied with something Link just couldn't put his finger on it but every time he talked to Shade there seemed to have something different about him.

Eventually Link having spent 5 hours just trying to figure out where to go finally made it to the sanctuary. Shade only gave this "advice" " a slingshot can make things fall down." "What the crap does that mean?" Links face read. Slowly and carefully Link opened the door to the earth sanctuary, which conveniently was big enough for Link to enter without a hat that makes him smaller.
