Chapter 3- Dreams

"Where am I…" Link felt earthy soil beneath his feet. His surroundings were black, and he felt an ominous presence in the room. As Link sat up, the room's darkness was instantaneously replaced by a blinding light.

"AH!" Link rubbed his sore eyes. When his vision became clear, his mouth dropped. Before him, was what seemed to be a massive slab of earth… in the air? Link looked below him and a screech left his mouth, he was floating.

"What is this place?" The hero's thoughts were quickly interrupted by the sound of a loud shriek and the flapping of wings above his head. Before his eyes was a giant bird with a massive beak. Link noticed its piercing blue feathers reflecting the sun's rays. Even in midair, it kept its grace. With a gust of wind, the bird was off. "Wait! Where are you going?" Link took off after the bird. It was after his first steps that he realized he was walking on air. "This has to be a dream… It can't be. It feels so real." During his moments of thought, the bird had escaped his view, and was nowhere in sight.

Link blinked, and everything began moving in fast motion. His body, without a single twitch of the muscle, was lifted higher up into the sky, and flung towards the massive floating land. As he neared the surface ahead, homes and shops met his vision. Towering over the rest of the buildings was what looked like a statue of a woman. With another blink of his eyes, his feet met the earth, and his short journey through the sky was over. Ahead of him, he saw a man of large stature. At his side were two odd looking individuals. One was extremely tall and frail, the other very short and pudgy. Link, despite the situation at hand, couldn't help but laugh at the man's hilarious looking hair. He seemed to have a hulking red pompadour. His laughter came to a stop as he witnessed the man's face adopt a serious expression.

As Link turned around, he noticed a blurry figure speed past him. The figure stopped in front of the trio of odd looking fellows, and the figure's face became clear. He looked very similar to Link. The same fierce expression on his face, the same muscular appearance, the same hair, and most of all, the same eyes. They were piercing blue, and had a look of ferocity in them.

"Well if it isn't Link! I hear your loftwing disappeared! I wonder where it could be." Said the man with the odd hair.

"Excuse me, I don't know what you're talking about. Look, I'm really confused, what is this place?"

The man didn't even see him. It was as if his presence didn't even faze him. Link's attention shifted towards the young man with the similar appearance to him.

"Groose, I know you have my loftwing, and I want it back." His words were calm, yet commanding.

"I have no idea what you're talking about! Maybe, if you got your head out of the clouds, and joined reality with the rest of us, you would have known where your dumb loftwing went. And let me tell you something else, if you think for even a moment that you're gonna win the Wing Ceremony Race and receive the prize from Zelda, your mistaken."

After the mention of Zelda's name, Link stopped listening to the ramblings of this "Groose."

It finally clicked in Link's mind. The young man who looked like him was some sort of reincarnation of himself, and the Zelda that Groose was discussing must be different as well. That's why Groose was calling the young man Link. This also explained why they couldn't hear him! He was somehow witnessing the events of a different reincarnation of himself.

Link's sudden realization was cut short however as the earth around him shook. Link fell to the ground, and the world around him began to fall apart. The sky darkened, thunder crackled, and the massive slab of land around him crumbled. In an instant, he was back in the black room. A dim light illuminated the area, and before Link's eyes was a massive wooden grandfather clock. One tick. Two ticks. Three ticks. The hour hand fell to the floor with a loud shatter. The sound of a booming bell erupted from the clock, and the sound reverberated through the area.

"Times up."

Link jerked awake.

"My goddesses, are you well Link? I was awoken by the sound of your screams."

The hero's vision cleared, and he felt groggy. His eyes immediately lit up at the sight of Zelda's beautiful face.

"Zelda, I think I just had a prophetic dream."

The princess's eyes widened for a moment. Link, tell me everything.

He did just that. Link gave her every detail, starting from the dark room, to the sky, to the grandfather clock and the mysterious voice.

"Oh my. I'm afraid I have no knowledge of such a land in the sky. This is quite a vexing situation indeed."

"Zelda, I don't know why, but something tells me this dream is very important. I need to know all I can about the land in the sky. Maybe it will bring us clues to who the mysterious voice belongs to."

"Though I have do not possess the information to properly assess the situation, I know of a place where we can find the answers to our question. In the castle, there is a magnificent library, and it is open only to the inhabitants of Hyrule Castle."

"If it is alright with you Zelda, I would like to see this library you speak of."

"It would be my honor Link."

"Zelda, you don't have to say that. It is my honor to be granted access to such an important place by the princess of Hyrule herself."

Zelda blushed, but as usual, quickly regained her composure.

Link took the princess's hand.

"Zelda, look at me. Do you trust me?"

"Of course I do Link."

"If you trust, me, then I trust you. I trust in your judgement as a leader and as a friend. That being said, I have a question for you. Do you truly believe this dream is of importance?"

Link's expression was serious. The princess looked at him with a face full of determination.

"I believe that with every question, there is an answer, and this question is quite the intriguing one. I can only imagine where the answer to this question will lead us. So yes, I believe this dream holds great importance."

"That settles it then. Our next destination is the Hyrule Castle library."

Link glanced at the sky, and noticed the sun had risen. Link was so enveloped in his conversation with Zelda that he didn't even notice the transition between night and day. Her face really was quite captivating.

With grace and expertise, Link lifted Zelda atop Epona, and hopped on shortly after. The Hero of Twilight lightly kicked his horse's side, and they were off.

Zelda POV

The remaining two hour ride towards Hyrule Castle was quiet. Zelda's arms were wrapped around Link's waist, and she laid her head on Link's shoulder. The ride had been a peaceful one.

As Hyrule Castle became visible in the distance, Zelda heard a shriek full of terror. She could make out the figure of a woman being attacked by a monster.

"HYAH" Zelda heard Link roar with anger. With a slight smack to the side, he sent Epona into an all out frenzy. The mare's speed was faster than any horse Zelda had ever seen.

"Atta girl!" Link exclaimed with triumph. Within seconds, they had reached the woman in distress. Zelda marveled at the hero. Link gracefully hoped off his horse and drew his sword. Losing interest in the woman, the creature drew its weapon and faced Link. This was no ordinary moblin. It was much larger, and more muscular. Link had a face of pure rage.

Zelda watched as the monster charged. It through out a horizontal slice of the sword, and Link dodged to the left. The monster kicked its leg towards Link's stomach. With agility and swiftness, Link caught the creature's leg, and twisted it. The monster fell to the ground. With surprising speed, the over-sized moblin leaped back up. Its unusual display of agility caught Link off guard, and it swung its sword at the hero. With a grunt, Link blocked the blow with his Hylian shield. With a swift shield bash, he knocked the monster's sword out of its hand. The creature ran away from Link, and withdrew what looked like a small, tusk shaped horn from a pocket in its belt. The creature then blew into the instrument with all of its force.

"Damn it." Link said in frustration. "It managed to call for reinforcements"

With anger in his eyes, Link caught up to the creature as it ran, and sliced it at the nape of its neck. The monster fell, and turned into smoke. All around him, Link was surrounded by huge moblins.

"I thought you were all destroyed when Ganondorf died. I guess I was mistaken."

There were four monsters surrounding Link. With a smile, he placed his sword by his shoulder, and closed his eyes. The monsters, seeing their time to strike, lifted their swords. At that moment, Link opened his eyes, and struck them all with a devastating spin attack. They dissipated into smoke.

What Link didn't see, was a fifth, sixth, and seventh moblin coming his way. As he was vulnerable for attack, the moblins raised their swords.

"NO!" Zelda screamed. A hot, beam of energy shot from her hand. The monsters fell to the ground, all near death. With a finishing blow, Link ended them. When the smoke given off from their defeat cleared, Link felt the embrace of Zelda as she tightly hugged him.

"They were going to overwhelm you. I couldn't let them hurt you."

"Thank you Zelda."

Link hugged the princess tightly.

"What you did… It was incredible. What was that beam of energy?"

"I-I do not know. It just happened."

"Link, you were even more incredible. You decimated those monsters. It wasn't your fault you didn't see the other ones coming. If it weren't for you, this woman might not be standing here now."

"You must be the legendary Hero of Twilight everyone has been talking about! Let me see your hand."

The woman grabbed Link's arm and saw the triforce insignia on the back of his palm.

"I knew it! You do have the triforce of courage! Thank you so much! I owe you my life."

Link nodded with a solemn look on his face. After regathering the belongings the woman had dropped on the ground, she returned to town. Zelda looked at Link.

"Link I need to know how I was able to release such a display of energy. I think it is worth looking into at the library. What do you think?"

"Zelda, anywhere our answers lead us, I'll be right there with you."

Her eyes lit up, and she smiled. Zelda rarely smiled for anyone, yet hear she was, grinning ear to ear. Link truly did have an effect on her. She took his hand, and together, they walked into Castle Town.
