"Flowers?" Purah asked Zelda as she tapped her head with her instrument. "This person grows flowers?"

"Yes, I think it's exciting," Zelda said as she pointed outwards. "I know we aren't lacking on flowers, but being able to control it so efficiently to help beautify the world? Of course he can work with the restore." It was very nice of the man. "He is from an ancient relative that left in the name of love. If I remember my text correctly, I believe it is about eight generations down. The third son of the mix fell in love so hard with a regular person with no royal blood."

"They up and left away." Purah smiled. "Oh, that's a nice story."

"Yes, I suppose so. The history book about it wasn't half as romantic of course. I still read between the lines and remembered it. He wants to help fulfill his ancient calling with his power though. I think it's bold of him." A little too bold with introducing himself at twilight, asking about Link, and then being there as soon as the sun started to rise. "He has a very determined expression, he wants to redress Castle Town with his flowers."

"The ruins of Castle Town?" Purah looked toward her again. "How old was he?"

"Oh. Forties? Fifties, maybe?" She couldn't judge. "I doubt he was around when Calamity Ganon struck. Perhaps it's where his ancient relatives lived. Having been abstracted from royalty. Either way, it will be so nice to see. Oh, there he is." Zelda waved. "He's more scared than anything. He keeps trying to be polite all the time, and he approached me to ask about Link so fast at twilight."

"I don't like that." Purah watched him come closer. "He doesn't sound . . ." She turned her head more. "Nevermind. I could take him if he got rowdy."

Zelda was quite sure she could take him to. "Yes, I'm fairly sure that's why he's scared of Link. I'll have to make sure they meet later, so he sees that Link is just fine." It was nothing like the past, anyone could talk to her, and Link wouldn't do anything. Not unless they pushed, but she never had that kind of problem. Not for some time. Not since her first faux pas of resting beside him.

Clover waved as he got closer. He got off his horse and looked up. He didn't come up though.

"Could you give Purah a display?" Zelda asked. "Maybe right along here?"

"He has the power, how come he didn't just go over and put flowers everywhere?" Purah asked.

"Oh, I think it's the need for . . . worthiness. To just feel like he is making a difference." Zelda understood that feeling all too well. "I would like to team him up with a special flower lady that I know. I bet they would make a great team together."

Clover looked toward the spikes sticking outward. He shined his magic in a small strip, but pulled it back. "I'm sorry, Princess Zelda. Research is very important in my magic, Princess Zelda," he called up to her. "History itself."

"Oh, his magic must run on some kind of historic passion?" Interesting. Emotional connection. Maybe there was some ancient emotional connection at Castle Town? "Alright then, nevermind. Let's go to where you wish in Castle Town. Purah will be coming with us."

They moved along the ruins. Castle Town hadn't been restored yet. There were many things that needed to be restored, and being right in front of the castle didn't put it first on Zelda's list. Most of the people didn't live in that area anymore, just a small dwelling of interested scientists and researchers and the like in Lookout Landing.

"It's been awhile, but I think over here." He pointed toward a small dwelling. "Clifford helped map this out for me. I have to be very specific." He lit the ground along the way, actively moving his hands to make it change shape. "This is the first significant one I've ever done, but I can do more," he assured her. "Much, much more. Like the size of three houses or more."

"I'm sure you can." Yes, it was just flowers, but she would support him anyway. It meant something to him. Purah didn't look as thrilled, her own inventions going way higher in importance. But? It was just good to support people, no matter their skill level. "I am ready."

"Okay then." He took a deep breath. "Princess Zelda? I do not restore just flowers. I restore everything," he said. "I will restore everything in Hyrule as it once had been!"

What? Zelda watched as more than flowers came from the ground. The ruins had started to connect, a home appeared, and a woman dusting in her doorway?!

"What?" The woman looked outward and immediately curtsied. "Oh, Princess Zelda? I-I had no idea you were gracing your presence by my home!" She looked terribly frightened as she looked around. "What happened? Oh good heavens!" She gasped and looked around herself. "No, no, no, what is this? Edison? Edison?!" She cried out.

Zelda didn't understand, but she ran up toward the poor woman with Purah, trying to calm her down. She watched as Clover came toward her with a smile.

He picked a flower off the ground. "This flower is over 100 years old. It's destiny was 100 years in it's future." He tried to place it behind her ear.

But Zelda shoved it away. "What do you think you have done?" She was not impressed at all by this man's games.

"I took her from before all of the destruction." He gestured around them. "This whole area I shined my light upon, is now restored 108 years. I do not grow flowers. I pull time itself."

Time? "It's okay," Zelda went back to trying to comfort the poor woman. "You are safe. I am sorry for what has happened to you."

"Where are my kids? I need to find my husband? Why does my home look like this, it's a bad dream."

The poor woman continued to ramble in confusion. "Believe me, I know that exact feeling in you right now." Being taken, from her spot in time. "Purah, could you please spend time with her? I must speak to that man promptly."

Purah took over while Zelda stood up. She walked further away and the man followed. How dare he mess with someone in time like that! Taking her from the safety of her home and children, to just yank to the present like she was just a fun trick!

"I brought her before the impending doom," Clover tried to explain. "She will be okay, she never saw anything. She isn't scarred."

"Isn't scarred? Does it look like she's fine?" Zelda raised her voice power. "The house of Hyrule has recognized you as a power wielder. Now, do no more with that power."

"But? I? I want to help restore the kingdom."

"Are you really getting soft-spoken after you pulled this?" Absolutely disgusting. "If I hear of even one pour soul being taken out of their time, I will throw you in a dungeon or a prison or somewhere that is not agreeable with people!"

"I am sorry." He bent his head down. "I thought you would want to reverse all of the damage. People would be safe and never remember the carnage. The horror that happened."

"I want to be safe!"

Zelda watched as the woman plucked from time came over toward Clover.

"Please, Sir! The woman Purah has told me so much." She was crying and hugged him. "Thank you so much for saving us. I thank you greatly, but please? My husband and kids, I want to save them, I can't leave them in that mess. My children, being so scared and nowhere to turn, please!"

On a personal level, Zelda understood the problem but- oh he did not! In less than a second the ground flashed and the mother went toward her kids who had been playing in their home. "Clover! Clover? Clover!"

That rapscallion! Zelda watched as he was there, and then was not. Behind him, he left some kind of impression on the ground. She went toward it.

"Oh wait, he can't leave yet, I still need my husband!" the woman insisted.

"You are being yanked out of your time into a future you do not even understand, woman. Please refrain from any more demands." Oh. He was going to be trouble. "Purah. Send word to Link. That man might be a very big problem."


Link arrived at the ruins of Castle Town, and saw a travel medallion mark on the ground, along with some crying children and a mother in a newly formed home? "Zelda?" She looked exasperated as she came toward him. "What happened?"

"We have a citizen who had the power of time," she said. "He's some ancient grandson of a relative in royalty that left ages ago." Oh, she really didn't sound well. "He brought that home back, along with that woman and children from Castle Town 100 years ago."

What? He looked toward the woman trying to speak to Purah. His senses tingled. He had just finished dealing with Ganon's threat not long ago. Zelda had been safe and sound, not very long ago. Why were things starting now?

"She wants her husband. It started with her, and then that fool did it again to give her the children." He watched Zelda's foot stomp the ground. "I am not uncaring, but time is . . . i-it's not a play thing."

"I know," Link agreed. "Did he have a travel medallion?"

"He put something on the ground and he left the area. He could tell I was not pleased with his actions," Zelda said. "We need to find him, before he does something more like this." Zelda gazed at the woman. "She thanked him with all her heart and keeps asking for him back. She isn't listening to reason anymore."

Link watched the woman yelling right back at Purah about her husband and needing him to survive. She was only a wife with kids, there was no income. This was ugly, Zelda was right. They needed to stop it now.

"Please, Princess Zelda." The woman came back to her to beg some more. "Please. I don't understand so much, I just. I am trying, but please. I won't ask for anything more, please!"

Zelda tried to explain that they could help her get sorted with her children, and that the job her husband had would have been long gone. She was staying strong while she spoke. She always stayed so strong.

Link wasn't needed there though, he needed to track down the little rascal that could mess everything up even more if he didn't get him under control. He went to go see Purah, to see if she had a picture of him. Most likely she did, she was pretty precise. "Any picture of this man I need to find, Purah?"

"No," Purah admitted. "He didn't make me anxious, Linky. He did at first, but then when I saw him? Nah, but he'll be easy to find. His name is Clover and he wore a dark blue top and grey bottoms. He looks like someone who would be such an easy mark for the Yiga clan, they might actually skip over him. He's mid-age, forty or fifty. Plus, I've never seen him around here before, so you are looking for someone you've never seen before."

Someone he hadn't seen before, in a dark blue top and grey bottoms. Not someone he would see out in the distant wild areas. Sounded like someone who lived in a village. "I will find him."

"Oh, Link!"

Link felt Zelda grab his arm real quick. "Yes?"

"I? I just got a very bad feeling," she said. "Could you double check The Great Plateau later? Father's grave? If he has restorative time energy, I don't want him messing around with him."

"Hm." Link could see that. It would be tough for just anyone to get up there, but this person did come from out of nowhere. He might have some kind of vehicle or means to get around. "I'll go there first. We'll find him."

"Thank you, Link. Excuse me. I have to try to be patient and not get into a shouting match with a woman from out of time again. I know how it feels, but she is not making it easier," she said as she went toward the woman hunkering down with her children.

Man. This was nuts. Link had no idea anyone had this kind of power. On the surface, people would think it's a great thing, to just reverse it all. But, he'd seen enough to know that kind of power, shouldn't be used so freely either.
