An unsuspected prophesy




The group has been traveling for a few days now. Zelda is no longer in her usual dress. She is wearing clothes that resemble Link’s. It is now the fifty-second hour they have been traveling. They’ve been walking through cities. Staying there for about two hours, nothing unusual happens, they move on. They’ve been in the villages Kethro, the village I used to live in, after that the next village was Lamen, the farthest south city and those are all the cities that have been visited so far.

Zelda is beginning to get a little tired after having walked over Hyrule’s southern hills. Link is even more tired because he’s been carrying weight. Michael is the least tired but he’s been carrying the most weight.

It begins to turn to night and Michael is becoming tired. He says one last thing before he goes to sleep though.

“Zelda,” he said, “that medallion will come in useful.”

“Thanks.” she said awkwardly.

Link was laying on a hill, looking at the stars, Zelda trips on a rock and lands on top of him. Zelda jumps off him and she begins to blush.

“Sorry.” she said embarrassed.

Link was also beginning to blush a little bit but he didn’t care. He lay back down to look at the stars again.

“People say… that you can prophesize the future by looking at the stars. I just haven’t gotten it yet.”

“I haven’t either,” said Zelda, “but I really think that it will help us… it will help us soon.”

“Everything manages to help us,” said Link. A one hundred thousand year old man who tried to kill the king is helping us. I’m thinking that a tree might help us next.

Zelda giggled at what he said, “I don’t think so, they don’t talk.” she said smiling.

“Oh well.” said Link trying to relax again.

Zelda snuggled up next to him and he began to blush. He tried to move but couldn’t because he was too afraid it would hurt her feelings, so he just went to sleep.

“Good morning, love birds!” said Michael looking down at Link and Zelda. “We need to go now so I suggest you get packing.”

Zelda jumped up and was blushing like crazy. Link was still half asleep. He got up and his eyes were half closed. Michael then punched Link across the face.

“Get up you lazy slob! We’ve got cities to investigate.”

“Link was finally fully awake but he sensed something was coming. He immediately looked south and saw a small amount of enemy soldiers coming.”

“Zelda I hope you studied a good amount of magic!” said Link drawing his sword.

“I have but I don’t have enough mind control to convey it to my hands!” she said worried.

“Well I suggest you start practicing,” said Michael. “You idiots get down!”

They hid within the tall grass that was surrounding them. Michael drew his bow and was ready to fire. Link still had his sword in hand, and Zelda was trying to practice to convey the magic to her hands. She finally succeeded in a small practicing magic called spark. A spark would fly in front of your face if you did it correctly. She finally completed it and got ready her spell called “implosion.” Judging by its name I bet you can guess what it does.

The soldiers were now within fifty yards of them and Michael finally shot his arrow. The other soldiers looked at the dying one and tried to identify where it came from. They then saw Zelda and attacked. Link jumped out from the reads and struck down one knight. Its arm fell off and it was lying on the floor screeching in pain.

Then Michael jumped out and struck another night with a side slash cutting off its head. Blood sprayed out from a main artery and you could see part of the larynx. This grossed Zelda out so she was picked up by a soldier and dragged off. But before they could drag her off she yelled implosion and the soldier’s insides were barfed up in some sort of red ooze. The soldier then dropped to the floor and died.

Meanwhile Link was having a hard time flinging his large sword around. Holding the sword with one hand annoyed him so he dropped his shield and used both hands. He hit one soldier in the gut with his hilt and then sliced its head off.

Michael was having a rather simple time slicing the brains out of some of the enemies. He was out of arrows by now so he just used his two axes as projectiles. He launched one ax and it hit the heart of a soldier making blood spray out from both ends of the axe. The other axe he flung around himself hitting a soldier in the neck and blood sprayed out of there too.

After about four minutes of battling Link and Zelda were almost completely tired out. Zelda because her nerves were stinging painfully from using all those spells, and Link was tired because it was exhausting lodging that sword into armor. Link and Zelda looked like they were about to die of exhaustion. Zelda was battling a large soldier and she ran out of the nerves to summon magic, she collapsed to the floor in pain.

Link was swinging his sword about uselessly trying to have the luck to hit the soldier that was about to hit him. It didn’t work though. The soldier drew up his sword and brought it down to Link. Link was quick enough though to pick up his shield and defend himself. The shield shattered, the soldier’s sword flung, and Link’s arm nearly broke.

Michael was busy helping Zelda in battle and then he saw Link. He grabbed Zelda and threw her back to where she would be safe. He ran up to Link and dragged him off. Michael grabbed Zelda and then they were off to Central Hyrule.

“H-how can you fight that?!?! asked Zelda about to break into tears. “I nearly died!”

“Yeah,” said Link. “I’ve been practicing sword fighting for weeks and still I am nowhere near as good as you.’

“First,” said Michael. “Zelda, you need to practice your magic more and if that doesn’t work, then here.” He handed Zelda a large knife about three fourths of a foot long. She sheathed it and then put it on her belt. “Second, Link, you are not an adult. And you haven’t been practicing for near as long as I have, so don’t worry about it.”

Link, Zelda, and Michael reached the Kakariko village and then saw something that was hard to miss. It was noon when they walked up the stairs and it was night when they got to the village, not only that it was storming like crazy. Most of the people clearly evacuated but some people like the old hag that sells you the blue potion stayed.

“Yeah, I can clearly see we’ve got work to do here.” said Michael.

“I didn’t know that!” said Zelda sarcastically.

“Sir, we have spotted the second Enfaillan,” said the monster. “He is in the village we have recently taken over.”

“Well… what are you waiting for? Go kill him!” said the tall figure.

Five more knights of the same type of last time rode out of the dark palace. This time, they knew where he was.

“Sir,” said the monster again, “we have to go now. If you want to destroy him yourself, then we will go.”

No, said the tall figure, I will let my master kill him.

The tall figure walked over though the large door behind him. There you could see an abnormally wide staircase that lead upward to what looked like an infinite abyss. The tall figure warped from one end of the staircase to the other. Then you could see an extremely tall door that was easily fifty yards tall. He saw two soldiers and said the password “Thrella, Athaldu, Menora Hera” meaning, death, night, and the infinite darkness.

The soldiers opened the door with all their strength and it budged about one inch per five seconds. As soon as the door was large enough for the figure to enter a gust that was visible blew out from the doors, it was pitch black. The figure entered and then there was an extremely tall, wide, and long room. The height was easily two hundred yards. The width was one hundred yards. And the length was three hundred yards.

The tall figure reached a large thrown with elegant designs on it, such as a dragon vs. a knight. The dragon had elegant gold scales with red eyes and a white belly. The soldier was wielding a sword that resembled the dragon and a little to the left of the battle was a fountain, a large fountain with more elegant designs to small to specify.

“What… is… it?” hissed a horrible voice.

“Sir,” said the tall figure, “we have found the last Enfaillan. He is in a small village called Kakariko. The one you recently told us to take over.”

“Yes,” said the horrible voice again, “Well have you conquered the city?”

“With the greatest of ease sir, but, Enfaillans are supposed to be exceedingly well battlers and he might pose a threat to our forces there.”

“Well then move”!!!!!!!!!!!! yelled the voice, we can’t have that disgrace defeat our post! We will attack at dawn tomorrow.

“Um, sir, we already have sent five of our Thrella knights.” said the figure.

“Argh!!!!!!!!!!!” screeched the voice, “why do you always do things before I give you permission too, you always do this!”

“I’m terribly sorry sir!” said the tall figure cowardly and then retracting to a smaller size, "it will be taken care of sir."

“Good,” said the horrible voice again. “Call back our soldiers immediately.”

“Yes sir,” said the figure turning taller again, “it will be done!”

Michael, Link, and Zelda found a place to stay during the night. It was Impa’s old house. Michael and Link slept on the floor while Zelda slept on a bed. As soon as Michael and Zelda were asleep, Link went out to figure out what was happening.

He went outside and it was around mid-night. Link saw a door opened and decided to go investigate.

Inside was a shadowed figure in a hooded robe.

“Come,” said the voice that you could easily tell was an old woman. “Come and I will show you what your future holds. “

Link walked a little closer to the desk with the crystal ball on it and was wondering who this was.

“Come,” said the old lady again. “And I will show you your future.”

Link got to the desk and was a little bit scared as he saw the red eyes again. He could tell that this was the lady that sold him the necklace. He got closer and closer until he saw a skeleton’s face.

Link stumbled backwards and let out a small yelp.

“Do not be afraid,” said the skeleton, “I am here to tell you your future.”

“You shouldn’t be here,” said Link. “The town is almost completely taken over.”

“The town is just sleeping,” said the skeleton. “Now, put your hands on the crystal ball and tell me what you see.”

Link looked into the ball and saw nothing but the smoke swirling inside it.

“There’s just smoke,” said Link. “Nothing else.”

“Look harder.” said the skeleton.

Link squinted and concentrated on the swirls inside the ball and a figure came about. In the ball Link could see Michael being burned at the stake. Link was being shipped and forced to carry a large rock to a fortress. And Zelda, oh this was the bad one. Zelda was being raped by a tall figure. Then she was whipped and thrown the floor to be stoned until there was almost no energy in her.

Link tore away his gaze from the ball in tears. He was in the fetal position and was weeping like crazy.

“Do not feel sorrow.” said the figure.

“Why not!?!?!?” yelled Link, “this is my future. I’m going to be tortured along with all of my friends. You have no idea what pain feels like do you!”

“Not everything you see will come to pass,” said the skeleton. “This is only in your mind. This is what you think will come to pass, but I know it.”

The skeleton then put it’s hand on the crystal ball and looked into it. It then looked up at the ceiling and screeched. “Pain will come to this miserable town. All the remaining people will feel the wrath of the great devil king. The earth will shake and people will scream. Tonight all must leave, for tonight is the night…”

After the skeleton had said that it disappeared. Link got every word that it had said and then ran back to the house.

Michael, Zelda, he yelled. We need to leave… now!”
