Chapter 3

Annabeths POV

We walk to the Big House and thoughts swarm my head. 'Where did these people come from? They're dressed oddly, so they can't he from around here. I'm not even sure they're from our time.'

"Chiron," Percy calls and opens the front door of the Big House," we have a couple uh unexpected guests for you to meet." We enter and find Chiron in his wheelchair, listening to his golden oldies?

"Good morning Percy, Annabeth and guests." He smiles and rolls over to us. He looks pass Percy and I and inspects Link and Zelda. "Who are you two?" He asks politely.

"Zelda and Link, sir," Zelda answers and curtsies.

"Why are you two here?" He questions, rolling a little closer.

"Athena had sent us," Link replies," and said you all were in danger."

"Hm... Well, I guess we better discuss this," Chiron says, face falling slightly," follow me." He begins rolling to a different room and turns off his music on the way.

Zelda POV

I follow the girl with the blonde hair and startling gray eyes, the boy with jet black hair and sea green eyes, and older man with graying hair and a unusual carriage type object made of metal to another room, where things are again not what I'd expect.

The room is large and a green table with a small netin the middle takes up most of the space. Chairs surround the table,and at the head of it lies a large cat head on the wall. How cruel are these people? Who would put an animals head on the wall?

Link crosses his arms and analyzes the three new people and the room, knitting his eyebrows and biting his lip ever so slightly. He watches them as if he's angry but surely Link doesn't have a reason to be.

Suddenly the cat roars and I jump away from it.

"Shut up, Seymore." Percy says and throws a chunk of meat forwards it, which it inhales.

"Um, how did it...?" I ask, dumbfounded, pointing at its head.

"Magic." Annabeth answers.

"Okay.." We all sit together, with Chiron at the head of the table, Annabeth and Percy to the left of him, and Link and I to the right.

"So you're saying Athena sent you because we are in danger?" Chiron questions.

"That's right." Link answers.

"Where exactly were you sent from?" Annabeth curiously asks.

"From a land called Hyrule, where things are nothing like here," I reply," though a goddess was quite believable since we believe in our own goddesses."

"You had met my mom." Annabeth tells me.

Percy grunts," better than meeting someone like Hades or Dionysus. That wouldn't be a good way to get help."

Annabeth nods in agreement," my mom is very wise, and if she thinks we are in danger, then I don't doubt that we are."

"We have been having our fair share of attacks but it hasn't gotten out of hand yet," Chiron injects," that may mean we have some time."

"I don't know," Link says," we have an idea of how this battle is going to happen, because the one that is poking at your borders is someone we have dealt with before."

"What is his name?" Chiron wonders.

"He is called Ganondorf," Link replies and looks us all in the eye," he is a large man who searches for power and doesn't rest until he gets it. We thought he had died-youd think a stab to the heart would do that- but it turns out he's still alive."

"Also he has very dark magic," I put in," he had taken my body to try to kill Link, turned into a huge beast, then afterwards blew up my castle."

"Your castle?" They all ask me.

"I meant as in my home's castle. Its like our own." 'Stupid girl. You can't give up that you're a princess.'

"Well, this guy seems terrifying," Percy says optimistically," how do we stop him?"

"Light arrows seem to work well on him, but good old-fashioned sword-fighting is what usually ends him," Link tells them," do you all happen you have light arrows or good sword fighters?"

"Well..." Annabeth thinks for a moment, " we don't have light arrows-really I don't understand what you mean by it- but the sons and daughters of Hephaestus can probably make some. And Percy's pretty good with a sword."

"Pretty good?" He stares at her in shock," I'm great at it!"

"Zelda," Chiron interrupts," is there anything else you know that can help us?"

"Well.. I had a prophetical dream. It shows dark clouds and Ganondorf growing large and powerful, bigger and bigger over a field. Someone is next to him-a lady- who looks so dark. As dark as night. They're casting terrible magic."

"But then a trident and an owl cast out the darkness and everything is gone. Back to normal." I look up at the group and see everyones faces are pale.

"Are you all okay?" I ask, worried.

"Night," Percy says weakly, " Annabeth, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

She nods, "I'm not happy about it though," she turns towards Link and I and tells us, "I'll get the Hephaestus kids to begin making the light arrows right away. I feel they'll be handy."

"Percy, I think you and I need to talk," Link says, "but... Later."

'Links acting so stern. Is this how he always is when the world is in danger? He needs to lighten up a little to let these people know we're friendly enough to cooperate with them.'

" I will come you, Annabeth if you don't mind. "

"I'm okay with that. Chiron, do you have anything else to say?" She asks the older man.

"Hm... No. I just wish for you all to be on guard and ready. Link, Zelda, I feel you two are going to play an important role in all of this. Please," he pleads, " save our world from danger. We have already been through so much."

"Don't worry, Chiron. We've done this before. We won't fail you." I tell him.
