Note: The Legend of Zelda belongs to Nintendo. Shadow Echo and Emerald Moon belong to me, GlassSuicune. I actually found some parts in here kinda disturbing. Even so, I hope you find this chapter interesting.

Chapter 4: The Dream.

"Emerald! Can you hear me? EMERALD!!!!!!!!!!!!" Shadow cried, walking through the lavender cloud-like world. He had been here for who-knows-how-long, with no sign of Emerald. He hoped and prayed she was alright.

As he walked through the seemingly endless dream-world, voices began to pop into his head.

"O...rio...n...don't....leave...me..."

"You will do as I say, or else!"

"I no longer serve you..."

"Light, Darkness, Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind...."

"Power is an empty triangle, for Courage and Wisdom are true power."

"You dropped it? How on earth could you have dropped it? You klutz..."

"You may know me as......Orion."

"You may know me as...............Teyla."

The last two voices were slightly muffled, so Shadow couldn't hear everything.

"I am the holder of the Triforce of Courage."

"I am the holder of the Triforce of Wisdom."

"I am the holder of the Triforce of Power."

"The Time Crystal was created by the fused powers of the sages and the Triforce holders."

"I am the first sage, wielder of the power of Light."

"I am the second sage, wielder of the power of Darkness."

"I am the third sage, wielder of the power of Water."

"I am the fourth sage, wielder of the power of Fire."

"I am the fifth sage, wielder of the power of Earth."

"I am the sixth sage, wielder of the power of Wind."

"I am the seventh sage, wielder of the powers of Time and Space."

Shadow stood there, unable to make sense of what the voices said. As a matter of fact, he was tired of hearing them. He began running while screaming, "EMERALD!!!!!!!! WHERE ARE YOU????!!!! EMERALD MOON!!!!!!!"

He stopped when he saw a young boy a couple feet away from him running in terror. The boy was screaming for help, and Shadow started running to his aid. The boy stopped dead in his tracks and fell to the ground, lying motionless. Shadow's eyes widened.

Somewhere else.....

"Shadow, if you don't come out soon you'll be sorry! SHADOW ECHO, SHOW YOURSELF!!!!!!!" Emerald screamed at the top of her lungs. Her voice suddenly became silent, and like in many dreams, she found it difficult to speak. She began hearing voices as well.

"Why would they do this to us?"

"May you solve your problems in your new lives."

"The Triforce is mine."

"Those who do not know history are destined to repeat it."

"Grow accustomed to my magic little ones, for it's the source of your own power. Your true power."

"When I see those blasted elves, I will show no mercy!"

"When will you realize you're being used?"

"What does it mean to have a soul? We wish to know."

Emerald shook her head. The voices made no sense whatsoever. She wished they would just go away. And never come back. 'Still, what are they trying to tell me?'.

Emerald was torn from her thoughts when she heard crying. Following the pitiful sound, she found a young girl. Her cheeks were tear-stained and her eyes were blood-shot from all the crying. It was truly a saddening sight.

Emerald slowly walked closer to her, hoping to comfort her. The girl immediately stopped crying and didn't move a muscle. Emerald placed her finger on the girl's cheek and gently nudged her. Her skin was pale and cold. She was dead.

Covering her eyes, Emerald walked away from the girl and went down another hallway. In the room were five peculiar artifacts. A voice named them all, from left to right.

"This is the Master Sword. Some believe it has the power to move one into the future when pulled from its stone."

"This the Ocarina of Time. It is said by playing certain songs, one can travel forwards and backwards through time, even freeze it temporarily."

"This is the Wind Waker. According to legend, it can summon the power of the Winds."

"This is the Phantom Hourglass. They say as long as the Sands of Hours are in it, one can travel through even the darkest world and not die."

"This is the Twilight Mirror. Legends say that through it, passage to the Twilight Realm was possible. It has been shattered, but its fragments are scattered throughout the earth."

"You may not believe me, but these Artifacts are of great importance."

Unbeknown to Emerald, was that Shadow was shown the artifacts as well. But he couldn't see her, and she couldn't see him. They couldn't even feel each others' presence. They were like ghosts to each other in this world.

Shadow and Emerald walked automatically down another hallway. Like in some nightmares, they had lost control of their bodies. The dream controlled them now. They went wherever it wanted them to go now.

They abruptly stopped walking and their heads were turned to the left. They saw a strange man holding a huge sword. Laying on the ground near him were two elves, cold and motionless. Looking closer, Shadow and Emerald could see the elves had both been impaled by the man's sword. Shadow and Emerald's eyes widened when they recognized who the three were.

The man was Ganondorf and the elves were Link and Zelda.

Shadow's eyes shot open and he found himself in a hospital bed. 'How did I end up here?' He then heard the door open and saw a doctor walk in. "Ah, I see one of the coma patients has finally awakened." he said, checking something on his clipboard. Shadow's jaw hung open.

Note:.......And cut! Yeah, I know this chapter's kinda short. That was the whole idea. Review please? Well, Forgotten Legends has finally caught up to Colosseum, so....... Expect an update next week. Before anyone asks, I actually do know a little about the Twilight Realm and Twilight Mirror, though I haven't even seen Twilight Princess. See you later alligator!
