Sorry for being MIA during the weekend, but nonetheless I have managed to put chapter 7 up.
I don't own anything from the Legend of Zelda series.
Enjoy!
Chapter 7: A Wolf and a Village
They had managed to find the missing Realm near Dueling Peaks Tower, for how he came here they will never know, after searching for five hours straight, and it didn't help that Wild, with his extraordinary sensing abilities, was still feeling down from failing to save Hyrule a hundred years ago. It didn't help him, that Myth, Blue, and Time were telling them about how much they failed on their adventures, which earned them a snack on the head by both Sky and Green. Even Red's puppy eyes couldn't cheer the poor lad up, but he was still functional to help them take out a group of monsters, though he was mostly on autopilot.
After another update on the map and another feature added to it. They camped out at the tower while trying their very best not to upset Wild even more. Twilight sat down right beside him.
"How are you holding up?" The person in question glared at the inquisitor.
Wild replied sarcastically, "Oh, I don't know. How would you feel if you found out that you failed to save Hyrule while dying in battle, put into the chambers of restoration, and found out that you are still alive after 100 years with Hyrule in ruins?" There was a slight pause from the Hero of Twilight before gave his answer.
"When you put it that way, not too good. However, there is a good side to this." Wild looked at one of his counterpart as he began to explain his reasons.
"It means that you have a second chance at defeating Ganon and rescuing the princess at the same time while saving Hyrule as a whole. And you got at least a major hint that will help us in defeating that thing for good as for the others and I, we were suddenly thrusted into doing the hero thing without warning." Wild gave him a small smile which was given a smile in return.
"Now, why don't the two of us get some sleep," Twilight mentioned as he pointed to the others that were sprawled over tower's floor. Wild nodded, and the two of them were soon catching some Zs.
Both Farore and Nayru squealed at the cuteness of the two heroes interaction last night as for Din, she just sighed. Then a thought suddenly came across her mind.
"Sisters?" The her two sisters stopped squealing and looked over to her.
"I just realize that it would take all of them three day, maybe more if Realm gets lost or loses something," Din stated the small problem.
"Well that's easy, we'll just send their most trusty steed," Farore said without thinking it thoroughly. Din facepalmed herself while Nayru was getting a headache.
"Incase you forgot, not all of the Links have Epona in their respective time period. Spirit, I believe that was his nickname, has the Spirit Train, and obviously we can't have spirit tracks all over Hyrule. The loftwings are extinct in this era not to mention the King of Red Lions only moves in water," Nayru gave her sister the reasons why.
"Well, we could give the ones, that do have a ride, a magical pendant, and as for the ones that don't, they could just hitch a ride with one of themselves. Not to mention, when they get to the Zora Domain, they will have two boats. And we could add an additional feature for Tiny because he is the Hero of Minish. Time also needs the Ocarina of Time from his period," Farore countered with her own reasons. The two sisters blinked in unison.
Nayru found her voice, "For once in your eternal life! You actually have a plan! A very good plan in fact."
"Sisters, they are now catching horses. We better make haste with those pendants and give them to Impa before they arrive in Kakariko Village," Din ushered them.
"I don't understand why you did want to catch and register a horse, Twilight?" Wind asked the only tall one Link in the group of shorter versions of himself. Twilight shrugged in response.
"I have my reasons." Wind then turned towards Sky.
"I've only flown a loftwing before not a horse," Sky gave his reason why.
Once they registered the horse, the shorter versions began to board with the others, Sky rode with Myth for obvious reasons, to keep him in check, and Wind, however, used the Wind Waker seeing as the Four can't separate from each other. Twilight did something unexpected startling the others. His Hylian body was transformed into a black wolf with the Curse Stone hanging around his neck.
"Since when were you able to do that?" the Four asked, but all he got was just slight growls coming from Twilight's new form.
"As interesting as it is, we've got a job to do, and one that must be done," Wild exclaimed with much irritation. And soon they made it to the village as the sun was beginning to set in the sky by then, Twilight reverted back to his normal self. The group asked around the village for Impa's whereabouts. Upon seeing the Sheikah Slate in Wild's possession, they immediately tell them where she is living.
There were two Sheikah guards posted in front of the stairways, when the Links approached them, the guards were about ready to attack them until they saw the slate. The two guards had also told them to hurry up and meet the elder of the village. Near the entrance, was a girl named Paya, Impa's granddaughter. Once inside, they immediately founded Impa waiting for them.
"...So, you're finally awake," Impa looked at them before giving them a warm smile.
"It has been quite a long time… Link. I am much older now, but… you remember me, don't you?"
Wild gave her a blank stare. The Chosen Heroes throughout time made themselves comfortable in Impa's home, but Wild, however, just stood there as if he were a stranger to the person in front of him.
"What's the matter?" She questioned him.
"Wild, why are you standing there? Surely, the two of you go way back," Wisdom spoke with confusion. Wild still did not move from his spot with a blank expression on his face.
"You are looking at me as though I am a stranger to you. Those eyes… They lack the light of familiarity. It is I, courageous one. Impa. Surely you must at least remember the name Impa?" Both Mask and Time snorted.
"I don't remember who you are… In fact, I don't remember anything from before I was put to sleep for a hundred years," His statement caused all of the Links to fall over as Impa looked at him with white eyes.
"I see… So you have lost your memory. Well, it matters not. In fact, that might actually be a blessing in disguise for the time being. Dearest Link… Please come a bit closer." Wild obeyed moved closer until he was in the center of the room, and all of the Links were back to their composers.
She began to retell the story of what happened a hundred years ago, but in much more details. She tells them about a legend that had occurred 10,000 years ago, and more details about the Divine Beasts and the Guardians and their roles in the war.
Impa relayed Princess Zelda's words, ""Free the four Divine Beasts." That is what she said."
Paint raised a hand in the air: "What exactly are the four Divine Beasts?"
"The four Divine Beasts are the ancient Sheikah weapons wielded by the four Champions who Ganon defeated. The Divine Beasts Vah Rudania, controlled by Daruk of the Gorons. The Divine Beast Vah Medoh, controlled by Revali of the Rito. The Divine Beast Vah Ruta, controlled by Mipah of the Zora. And the Divine Beast Vah Naboris, controlled by Urbosa of the Gerudo. It would be extremely ill-advised to face Ganon without without the power of the Divine Beasts to help you… All of you must infiltrate the Divine Beasts that were stolen away by Ganon 100 years ago and bring them back to our side."
"The Gerudo?!" both Heroes of Time shouted.
"Rito?" said a puzzled Wind.
"Zora?!" screeched Realm, having bad memories of the Zora tribe.
Twilight tilted his head to the side, "Gorons are peace keepers. Why would they ever want to go into war?"
"If you want more information about the Divine Beasts, locate the four races scattered across Hyrule. The Sheikah Slate should tell you where to go and you must meet with each leader there."
Without even glancing at the screen of the slate, Impa stated, "Your Sheikah Slate is not yet complete. The device is your guide and is also a way to regain your lost memory. Now, I believe that someone at the research lab in Hateno Village might be able to help you."
Myth clapped getting everyone's attention, "Alright! Time to sleep and tomorrow morning, we set out to Hateno Village."

Here is the preview to the next chapter:
In a different universe, a different Hyrule, a seventeen year old male was being called by someone or something. For days, the young man was able to suppress the urge to respond to the calling, but as of right now he couldn't ignore it anymore. He too, had been plagued by the visions of another Hyrule under fire from these strange moving machines, and a female voice telling him strange things. It had been a recurring this entire week, and not once he was able to get in an ounce of sleep. Due to his lack of sleep, the young man was very quick to snap at someone, or in this case the soldiers that followed his orders as the Appointed Captain of the Hylian Army.
