Episode 2: Toray's Report: Enter Garibal!


Tele, Moonblitz, Link, and Malon walked miserably into the house, and they sat on couches and chairs slowly. Tele was exhausted beyond belief. I have never done so many useless chores around here in my short life! Malon kept things cheery, although it was very hard to stay awake. Blitzer Walked outside again, and he got his dad. Link was laying down on a couch, sweating profusely.

"Well, cheer up! C'mon, now we have the cleanest house in Hyrule!" Malon joked. Tele sighed loudly, and Link groaned in exhaustion.

"You know, it's not the fact that he make you work, it's that he make you work until your limits are broken, along with every bone in your body. Toray and Deity and Zelda are lucky that they got out," Link groaned, "I'm going to bed. Wake me if Avon gets back. I would like to see if the Fairy Communication technique works."

"Okay!" Malon chirped. Link limped up the stairs to his room, and Tele walked off to his room. Malon stood in the middle of the room, and she grinned at her spotless house. Then she walked upstairs to join Link.

The next mourning, Link woke up and walked down stairs to the main room. He was covered in sweat, and his thoughts were boggled. He had just had a dream, and it was followed by his senses going crazy. There was an outstanding evil in Hyrule, One that surpassed that of Donovan. Link centered all of his thoughts, and he centered on the feelings that overpowered him. His whole strength was focused, and he could now see someone. A man in a black cape. His eyes were covered by shadow, his smirk was highlighted by a red light. He was on an island, hovering over smoke. He raised his fist, and an outline of the mythical Triforce was pulsing on his powerful hand. Link's eyes snapped open, and he stared at the ceiling in awe. He was numb to the world, until he heard someone sit in the chair across from him. Link looked down, and his son was sitting down on the chair, and he looked scared.

"I felt something. It was so cold, so threatening I could see a dark man in my dream. This is too weird," Tele said quickly. Link stared at him in disbelief. He meditated! And he can sense evil! Unreal! Tele then walked over to the kitchen, and Malon was in there, waiting for them. She looked at her son and husband worriedly.

"Link, what's going on?" Malon asked, he voice shaking.

"I don't want to scare you, but something is coming. I can fell his power. He is stronger than anyone that I have ever faced. I hope I don't have to fight him," Link was slouched over, and he said this with certainty. Malon sighed, and resumed cooking. Link stood, and he put on another long-sleeved tunic, and he put his gloves on. Malon stopped cooking, and she walked over to Link. The whole family stood by Link and his sword, which was in his glass cabinet. Link swallowed every emotion, and he opened the cabinet. He then took the sword, and he placed the strap around his neck. He then walked to the door, and he slowly opened it. His feelings were on high, but then he was startled by the flash of light. He adjusted to the light, and a little ball of light floated over his head. Link grinned, and his old friend landed on his shoulder.

"Hey Boss, How are you. Memo, Navi, and me have learned how to do the communication," Avon informed. Link's eyes widened when the word Navi was said.

"Navi is here!?" Link busted out. Avon rose high into the air.

"She has been Deity's fairy since the beginning of the struggle. That's where I went when I would leave for a long time. I was.talking to her," Avon then flashed red, and he started to shake. Link smirked and was about to say something. Then a beam shot out of Avon. It struck the ground, and a tiny sized transparent Toray was now facing Link. Link poked at the illusion, and his hand went through the image. The ghostly image then spoke.

"Link, I guess this move works. Well, there is something I have to tell you. You remember the Red Guard. You know, the one who wouldn't let you into Hyrule? Well, it seems he was more important then we thought. You see, him and his other, stronger partners, were the holders of something that would get you into that island in the sky. Those keys are the only way to get into that powerful island," Toray's image reported. Link stepped back in confusion.

"You mean to tell me that the weak pathetic Red Guard is the key for getting into Sky Temple, and all of the attempts that Donovan made to get to Sky Temple were all useless!?" Link yelled. The image nodded slowly, and Link punched a pole next to him. The pole snapped in half, and splinters splashed over the ground.

"How did you know that I was talking about Sky Temple?" Toray asked.

"There were only two islands in the sky, and one of them was destroyed when Donovan sacrificed himself," Link told Toray. Toray shrugged, and started to explain again.

"Well, I was going out to visit all of them. I wanted to get some laughs. When I got there, they were all.dead!" Toray busted out. Link's eye's widened, his eyebrows disappeared into his hair. Malon and Tele were standing by, looking confused and shocked.

"This is big. I think we should see Zelda. If they are all dead, then whoever killed them have probably gotten into Sky Temple already. Meet me over there. I gotta go," Link then turned around and hugged his wife, and he mounted Epona. He fed Epona a carrot, and they sped off towards the castle.

Link arrived at the castle thirty minutes later. The guards let him pass without delay. He entered the beautiful castle, and walked up the long, curved hall, and he entered the tallest tower. The room was covered in red and gold drapes, and the walls were plastered with realistic paintings of all of Zelda's friends. The floor was red silk, and different white furniture was placed all over the room. On one side Zelda and some man was sitting on a pair of white sofas.

"Link, good, Toray got to you, didn't he? Well, before I start to explain, I want you to meet someone. His name is Garibal. He is the current king of Palis, you know the land of Palinons," Zelda's face was red, and she had a weird smile on her face. Garibal stood, and showed himself off. He was very tall, Link's head could only reach Garibal's shoulders. He reached his hand out, and he shook Link's hand firmly. His face was friendly, although he had a large scar on his forehead. He had blue hair and blue eyes. Weird, Palinon's have blue hair.He wore the same model suit that Donovan would wear, except that the blue and black pattern was inversed. Garibal had a sword on his back, and he had s shield on his forearm. When Link was shaking his hand, and Garibal's eyes looked at Link, Link felt an unexplained cold cross over him, like something foreboding. Link sat down on a couch near them, and face hardened over both of them. Something about Garibal, he reminds me of someone, I just don't know who right now.

"Ahh, so that is the power of the Hyrulians.your true power is immense. Now I see why my predecessor, Donovan, couldn't beat you," Garibal said calmly, although what he said hit Link like a wild horse. How could he possibly know that I fought Donovan, and how can he know my true power. You can't just sense power of my size just by shaking my hand.what is with this guy? Why Link, your mind is wide open. Minds are like privacy, rarely, someone is able to break in.He's a telepath! Link suddenly stopped thinking.

"I see he got you on your toes too, huh?" Deity walked out. Zelda was blushing madly at Garibal, and Deity noticed. He turned out the window he jumped out of, and looked over the marble ledge, "Toray is right behind me."

"Good, Toray is on his way. It would be good for him to come so I can tell you all this at the same time," Zelda muttered.

"What about me?" Toray yelled as he flipped through the window. Link grinned at his friend, and Deity smirked when Toray stood.

"Ahh, the man of the hour! Well, get in here, I want you to meet Garibal!" Toray looked at the man in the chair, and his face was normal, until he got a closer look. His eyes darkened, his muscles bulged, his eyes flashed light, and he had summoned his Marauder's Sword. He rushed at Garibal and held his sword right at Garibal's face. Link rushed up and tried to calm him. Garibal was laid back, and he showed an amused grin.

"TORAY! Do you know him?" Link asked. Toray's hands shook in fury, while his eyes were now giving a constant stream of light.

"OF COARSE I KNOW HIM! HE'S MY TWIN!" Toray yelled. Link jumped back and gasped. Deity's head snapped up and Zelda had uncovered her eyes and she was wearing a look of complete confusion.

"Good to see ya brother. I wish you could've stayed and been the prince of our homeland," Garibal commented. Toray threatened him with a thrust, and he stopped mere inches from his face. Garibal didn't even sweat.

"You left me and mom behind! Father took you because you couldn't keep your mouth shut! You couldn't even stay in Hyrule!" Toray spat. Garibal looked at his fist, as did Link, " You ran off with dad so that you could have power, and I bet that you wanted to see our mother die! Our father killed our mother! And you went off, so that you could become the prince! You're as bad as dad! Now I will kill YOU!"

"Listen Toray, let's get one thing straight. It wasn't my idea to go back to Palis. It wasn't my idea to have mother killed. Now, put the sword away," Toray instead charged his sword. Garibal looked around and Toray threatened him again.

"NOW, YOU MAY BE PUNISHED FOR YOUR ACTIONS!" Toray yelled. Link rushed forward, but Toray swung down on Garibal. There was a flash of crimson and aqua light, but when the light faded, Toray and Garibal were standing, and Garibal had a Palinon Sword held up to Toray's throat.

"Now, stop this!" Garibal yelled. Toray fell to his knees, and his eyes softened.

"I'll let you go for now. Who knows, maybe I might be wrong," Toray returned to his normal self, although Link could sense his tremendous anger.

"Okay, now that that is over," Zelda fumed. Link snapped and gave his sister a pleading look, and she calmed, "Link, I know who killed the Red Guards."

"Shoot," Lin said calmly. I may sound calm, but I'm terrified of whoever that was in my vision, but the moment you lose your cool, you lose your life.

"It was a man by the name of Haku. Hakusama Besiged. He was after my crown for years. I told him last week that if he entered my castle, I would have him killed. I got back here last night, and my best guards were dead. He is very powerful, more powerful than Link," Zelda informed them. Deity laughed out, and Zelda shot him a sharp look.

"Deity, she isn't crazy. I sensed his true power this mourning. He is stronger than all three of us together. It's like he's not Hylian or Palinon," Link sighed. Deity looked out of the window, like something caught his attention.

"Well, it looks like our friend is already at Sky Temple. I can sense that place anywhere. I hope he doesn't make a wish." Deity said grimly.

"Zelda, what should we do?" Link asked. I Shouldn't have asked. Now I'm gonna be on a life-threatening adventure. Sounds like fun.

"I want you to search for clues. I'm sure that there is another way to get to Sky Temple. I must tell you. You have to land on Sky Temple quickly, or the Magic shield will kill you. You need a fast way up there," Zelda informed. Link then shook Garibal's hand, and he and the rest got ready to go. First stop, Karkariko.
