I am usually not the type of person to ask this to people, but... How are y'all's day? Cuz mine is very boring, so boring in fact that maybe I should just let you, readers, just continue on reading, and don't mind my boredom.

I do not own any Legend of Zelda stuff, and whatnots... okay, I just insulted one of my most favorite game series/mangas. Some can kill me now.

Enjoy!

Chapter 5: The Shrines

The rest of the Links managed catch up to Wild, who was now in front of the strange structure that was glowing orange. There was a pedestal near the entrance like all the other pedestals Wild had seen. Vio, Wisdom, Myth, and Tiny were looking at the pedestal with interest.

"It would seem that this pedestal will only open the door with a correct item it seems," Vio muttered: "The four of you, I need you all to step aside for a minute." They did as they were told and soon, Wild took the Sheikah Slate from his hip strap and quickly hovered it over the pedestal. Instantly, the lights on the pedestal shine bright blue, and a second later, the center of the platform glowed blue as well. The entrance mechanically opened on its own leaving the four Links that were investigating it surprised. Wild quickly put the Sheikah Slate back in its place.

Everyone looked at it in wonder until Twilight motioned them inside. In some former fashion, they had managed to fit on the circle platform as it slowly descended down below. When the circle platform touched the bottom, a voice, not like the one they had heard frequently, spoke to them.

To you who set foot in this shrine…

I am Oman Au. In the name of the

Goddess Hylia, I offer this trial.

"Okay… Things just keep getting weirder and weirder," Paint commented. Power looked at the Sheikah Slate strapped securely on Wild's left hip.

"How come you never mentioned that you have that thing?" He shrugged.

"None of you ever asked, so I didn't say anything."

There was another pedestal on the top far left side of the room with the weird crystal hanging over it. When they walked over to it, Wild immediately put the slate into the holder, and they watched curiously as a single glowing blue tear landed on the piece of technology.

"Well that was… anticlimactic," Blue said unamused. Wild took the slate out of the hold.

"Huh… Magnetism…" He decided to test out the new function of the slate on one of the large metals in the center of the floor. As he lifted it up in the air, there was a floor below it that leads to the other room. Wild gently placed the metal to the side of the square hole in the center of the room, and soon the group proceeded to the next room over. They had managed to solve all of the puzzles within the shrine and kill some type of machine, but it wasn't without anything that could kill them, not to mention a chest that contained a Traveler's bow. They finally reached the last room.

Everyone had urged Wild to go up to the statue that was surrounded by a blue transparent wall. When he touched the wall, the sheikah symbol lit up getting rid of the blue wall. The voice from earlier inside the shrine spoke to them.

You have prove to possess

the resolve of a true hero.

I am Oman Au,

the creator of this trial.

I am a monk, blessed with the

sight of Goddess Hylia and dedicated to

helping those who seek to defeat Ganon.

With your arrival, my

duty is now fulfilled.

In the name of Goddess Hylia, allow

me to bestow this gift upon you…

Please accept this Spirit Orb.

A translucent sphere shot out from Oman Au and was absorbed into Wild's being.

May the Goddess smile upon you.

Oman Au's body began to disappear from the altar. They now had to walk back outside, much to the discomfort of everyone, and by the time they got out, night had arrived.

"And of course the mysterious man will stop by very soon," Wild huffed. The Links had all decided to trust in his senses.

The man from earlier made his appearance. He then begins his rant about the Sheikah Slate, their technology and tells the group to find three more shrines similar to Oman Au Shrine. The man also said to meet him at top of the tower to which all of them were whining, just some quieter than the others. The wise man tells them about the Sheikah Slate's teleportation method, relieving them of their traveling time.

Everyone had gathered around Wild, except for the old man, and they were instantly teleported to the top of the tower. To the left of the group of heroes was the old man. However method the old man got here, it was left to their imagination. Wild, of course sensed something was off about said man, but said nothing more. From there, he taught them about the beckons that the slate could do before leaving them off to their adventures.

Everyone was a bit tired, and it was decided unanimously that they should set up camp at the top of the tower for it was safer than being on the ground at night. Even though, they could not make a fire, the blue crystal that hung over the pedestal became their light source in the dark.

Myth started a conversation, "Why don't we share stories about our adventures. So who wants to start it off?" Time decided to tell his story, and Mask made sure that his other self wasn't forgetting anything. For the two of them, it started off from being raised as a Kokiri, to finding out that they were Hylian, meeting Princess Zelda, gathering three artifacts, pulling the Master Sword, sleeping for seven years in the Temple of Time, to finding Princess Zelda, and finally defeating Ganondorf.

The Links were interested in hearing the other's stories. While all the storytelling was going on, Wild couldn't remember his past before he had slept for a hundred years, and he didn't want to bother his other mes with his own problems. So he closed his eyes, and before he knew it, he was sleeping.

"Oi! Wild it's…," Tiny's word drifted off as he spotted Wild in an upright position with his back against one of the pillars, one knee up as support for his right arm as it supported his head, and his weapons and shabby looking shield were laid out beside him. An evil grin formed across Mask's face. Time glanced at his younger-but-older self.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"If you are thinking what I am thinking, then yes. Yes, I do think what you are thinking," There was a glint in Time's eyes. The two Heroes of Time told the other Links their plan, and soon enough they too, pitched in. That night was filled with screams of terror.

The young, but over a hundred year old Wild woke with the early sunlight shining on his face. His stomach began to grumbled. He had been planning on hunting food for himself, but he then realize that there was more mouths to feed, and so he left in search of food him and the others. Wild was completely unaware that there was a pile of slightly bruised Link.

An hour later, Wild came back loads of cooked meat, vegetables, and fruits as the Links, now out of the messy pile, gently massaged their muscles. Wild looked at them with concern.

"What in Hylia's name happen to all of you?" he asked them. All of them, except Wild, looked at him in bewilderment.

"Wait… Are you saying that you don't remember what happen at all last night?" Sky asked in disbelief in which said person in question tilted his head.

"Nope. I was out like a light," his statement brought shivers down the Links' spines as they silently began to recall what happened last night.

~ Flashback ~

"Which mask are you going to use?" Power questioned Mask. Mask pulled out a Deku mask.

Blue rubbed his hands together, "Oh, this is going to be hilarious!" Mask slowly crept up to the sleeping Wild, and about to put the mask on him when Wild's free hand made a grab for his arm. Mask was struggling in the sleeping teen's grip.

"Um, guys? A little help here, please?" Mask pleaded to the others.

"I'll help you." Sky walked over to the struggling Mask, but was meet with terrible fate. He was headbutted in the gut, knocking his breath right out of him. The sleeping Wild was now on his two feet, still gripping tightly onto Mask's arm. Mask was suddenly thrown into the railings of the tower as for Wild, he made a grab for his boko club.

~ Flashback End ~

Both Red and Wind gulped: "Let's just say, we are never gonna prank you ever again," Tiny informed the only Link with a ponytail. Wild just shrugged them off.

"Anyways, I brought us some food." Immediately as he said that, they flocked over to the food that was still warm until nothing was left.

After eating breakfast, the group of Links made their way over to Ja Baiji Shrine where the Sheikah Slate upgraded giving it two sets of bomb abilities, and Ja Baiji giving Wild another Spirit Orb. Along the way to Owa Daim Shrine, the met up with the old man once more, who showed them how to cook delicious food.

By the time they got through Owa Daim Shrine, and getting the stasis function for the slate, it was already late into the night. So they decided to camp out inside the shrine in hopes that Owa Daim doesn't mind, even if he had passed on to the next life.

The following day, through some bad luck, mainly from Realm's horrible direction skills, all of them had managed to find themselves at the top of a snowy mountain peak. And once again, the old man was there, he then gave to some of them proper clothing to protect themselves from the cold. At last the Links had finally made it to the final shrine, Keh Namut Shrine. In the shrine, the slate was given the cryonic feature, which creates a pillar of ice on top of the water surface, and of course the fourth Spirit Orb.

Myth cried out with sheer joy, "Yes! Finally! Now, let's get to the tower, and finally get the paragliders from the old man!" He was about to make a mad dash until Wild pulled him by his tunic causing Myth to slip.

"He won't be at the tower," Wild stated bluntly. It was then, Twilight frowned, "Oh? And where do you think he will be?"

The person in question pointed to the ruined temple in the distance: "And I know just the place in mind where we can teleport to." Going with his best judgement, they were transported to the shrine where he had been awoken from his slumber, but of course the other Chosen Heroes did not know this.

Here is the preview to the next chapter:

From the stars above, the Goddesses watched with interest as the former ruling King of Hyrule told them the story from one hundred years ago, from his perspective. The two of the three Goddesses gaged their reactions.

"Um, Farore?" Din looked a bit nervous.

"Hmm?"

"I don't think your…. um… chosen aspect is taking all of this… very well," Din chuckled nervously.

"Oh, the worst he could do is hit or des… Oh Goddess Hylia, I am so dead. I'm gonna go kill myself before Naryu kills me." Farore slowly walked out with a pale colored skin tone. Din was left alone with a sleeping Nayru on the soft cushioned sofa.
