Episode 3: Ascension: Lena's Legends!



Karkariko Village. Hyrule's second city in a sense. The village was where there were many battles and conflicts. There were red brick houses and buildings all over. The windmill slowly rotated. There were many Hylians on the streets, most of them talking among themselves, talking about the man who said that he is a greater fighter than Link. Link stepped up to about a dozen people, and none of them were aware of Haku. Deity had somehow gotten on top of the windmill, and he was staring at Death Mountain, his arms folded over his chest. Toray was heading to the graveyard with Link, his anger was now starting to subside.

"Hey Link, who's that?" Avon asked from Link's shoulder. Link looked over by the new dragon statue, and he saw a young woman. She was a head shorter than Link. She had sleek brown hair that came under her head scarf. She had dark brown eyes that reflected Link's appearance. She wore a powder-blue shirt with an orange long skirt. She held a book in one hand, a book that was beaten and discolored. She noticed the group and smile warmly at them. Link and Toray strode up to her, and Deity landed behind them.

"Hi there!" She greeted, "I'm Lena. I am here to glance at the statue. There is a great story about this statue. Would you like to hear it?" She asked. Link looked at his group, and when the nodded, she started, "This statue is the statue of great and powerful dragon. This dragon ruled the waters of the sea called the Endless Blue. It had great power, but one man tamed the beast. The mythical dragon waited for seven years, until his master would return, but a man wearing a gold mask came and told the dragon that his master would return. And a couple of hours later, he did. The man and the monster had a bond that couldn't be broken or defined. Duty on the man's part. Loyalty on the dragon's part. They flew back to the man's home, and then it happened. Well, the dragon had a fierce demon in it, but when the man leaped off the monster's head, the demon was released, and the dragon was free. The dragon appeared over there ten years ago. He brought fear to some, and hope to others. If that demon could be freed, then anyone could be freed. Then he dragon laid here, and he rested here, and turned to stone. Now, here he is. Oh my, I forgot, what are your names?"

"Link,"

"Toray,"

"Fierce Deity," They all said

"Well, I've been trying to dance to this song that rose this dragon," Lena said, "But it never works. He just sits there, the great blue dragon." Suddenly, it hit Link. That dragon helped him when Deity was an enemy. Link couldn't get across the endless blue, and the dragon got him through. I remember it like it was yesterday.

Link landed softly against the sand. He felt so good, lying against the damp sand. Cool, refreshing.Damp? Link raised his head and faced the damp area. There lying in front of him were the forever extending waves of the Endless Blue. The water sparkled, and the waves were perfect for a skid run, but he didn't have the time. He looked for a way to cross. It was too far to swim. The waves seemed to go away from him, and the dragon's were licking their scaly lips, inviting our hero to come into their domain. Link ran to the beach area and there was another torn note from Donovan on the beach. It told Link to play the song that changed his life and a great big. the rest was gone. Link took out his ocarina and he played the now memorized Waltz of Warriors. The melodies merged, and the ground was now cracking with red lines. Light shot from the cracks, and Link jumped back when the water churned. The ball of water rose into the air again, and Ascension slithered towards Link, and Link drew his Sword of Time. He wasn't going to die now.

Ascension came to Link slowly, and it rested its head against the sand. Link didn't feel the same hatred as before. The dragon lay on the sand, as if it was waiting for something. Link slowly walked toward the giant and reached forward. He stroked the fur around the water dragon's head, and it felt smooth and silky. He felt a kind of weird gentleness, and he relaxed as he stroked Ascension again. He could see a note on one of the curled horns that poked out of the water dragon's head. It told the Hylian hero that he was to get onto Ascension's head and the dragon would get him back to Hyrule Field. Link climbed up Ascension's head and stood on top. The dragon roared, and they rose slowly into the air. The dragon turned around, and then without notice the beast sped off. It was too fast, and Link struggled to hold on. Avon fell off Link as he speed across the Endless blue. The waves disintegrated from The dragon's pure will. The retreating waves showered Link in a calming mist, but he couldn't relax and hold on at the same time. The blue started to fade, and land appeared over the horizon, while Link stared in pure amazement. The dragon flew across the Endless Blue in a matter of minutes, as it took Link days to do it in the Flyer. The dragon rose higher into the air, and Link could see Death Mountain. The dragon got to the Land, and Link grinned from ear to ear.

"Ascension! We made it! Now, take me to Karkariko Village." Link braced himself, while Ascension sped to Karkariko Village in a matter of seconds. Dust scattered from the place were Ascension took off. Link was at Karkariko Village in a matter of seconds, and Link was thrown off at the gate of the Village. All of the villagers got out of their houses to see the Dragon, and they gasped, cheered, some even fell to the ground in tears. Link smiled and ran.

Yeah, that's Ascension! Link thought. You're trying to say that you rode Ascension?! Someone said telepathically. Link opened his eyes to reveal Lena looking at him in confusion.

"Why can everyone read my mind?" Link asked Lena. She stood speechless, her mouth wide open. Toray walked up to her and closed her mouth. Lena ran next to the statue, and opened her ragged book. She turned it to a certain page, and she shoved the book in Link's face. Link stepped back, and on the page there was a picture. It showed three men in green, red, and blue, and another man behind them. They rode on a huge blue dragon, and they raced to an island in the sky. Below, a woman waved a flag in some kind of ritualistic dance. On the island, a man wearing black looked down from his crystal palace the stood tall on the island. Link held the book tightly, and his inspected the picture closely.

"Link, that looks like you!" Lena yelled, "It looks like you, Toray, Fierce Deity, and Jabrow!"

"Who's Jabrow?" Deity asked.

"Jabrow is an extremely talented fighter. He won the Palis W.C.T. five times. He is stronger than the brother of Zelda!" Lena exclaimed. Link smirked out, letting a faint laugh out.

"I wouldn't say that he is stronger than me," Link commented. Toray laughed out at the thought.

"Wait, your Zelda's brother?!" Lena yelled. Link nodded. Lena breathed in slowly, and started talking again, "Well, I have a mission for you. I bet that you have never heard of the Gods of Liberty. I thought so. The Gods of Liberty were the essences of the Triforces. Long ago, when the Triforce and Dark Triforce split, two gods maintained the balance of life. Back then, the only race was a race of demons that were dependant on the two gods. The two gods kept everything in order, but there was one problem. The two gods were gods of good and evil, light and dark. Between them was a balance of the two forces. Well, when the Triforces split, the gods started fighting. The balance was disrupted, tilted to evil. They continued fighting, and the demon race joined the side of the dark. Well, before, the God of Light was trying to win so that the world could be in harmony, but he never showed his true power, in fear that he would kill innocent people. When the demons joined the side of evil, the God of Light struck. He destroyed all of Hyrule in a great explosion. The only two left were the Gods of Liberty. The God of Light then trapped the God of Dark in the Dark Triforce, and he put himself into the Light Triforce. Then, the Hylians came to be, and the world was at ease."

"Wow," those were the only words that Link could muster.

"It all came to end ten years ago though. Ten years ago, The God of Dark's spirit had separated from the Dark Triforce, and it went into a certain man. Then the God of Light came out and it truly revealed himself. The God of Dark possessed a certain man, while the God of Light became human. After it did it's business, he went into a certain body. Have you seen him. You had the best chance," Lena stated. Link thought back, ten years. Then another memory came to him. He remembered the time that he fought Doganon. Was that him?.

Link and Toray started powering up the swords. Red and green energy started to swirl around the swords, and two large disks formed. Toray and Link put there swords tips together, and the energy flashed out. They stood, and Deity got behind the meeting of the swords. He charged his sword, and threw the disk. The disk hit the other two swords, and a large beam was sent fling into the eyes of Doganon. Doganon arched his back, and two broken halves fell. On was red, and the other was blue. Doganon then fired a beam at the trio, and Toray and Deity were sent into a boulder. They were out cold. Link rushed forward, so that he could break the green orb. Behind him, a large gold beam fired from the ground. Link ran to Doganon. But the tail fired another beam. Link could feel the heat from the blast before it was close. He closed his eyes and wished for a miracle. Seconds seemed like days, and after awhile, Link opened his eyes. In front of him, a man held the blast off with one hand.

He had pure gold hair, and a golden tunic and cap. His boots were red and blue swirl, and his gloves were the same color. He wore a shiny gold and platinum armor. He shined with light, and his eyes were fierce. Link stopped and stared in awe. He seemed like a person of justice, because he stood so calm. He raised his other hand, and fired golden beams at Doganon. The beams held the legs and claws down, and the man kept his hold on the beam. He stared at Link. That glare. He wants me to finish it. Who on earth is he? Well, a sense of duty will save us all huh? Whatever happens. Link leaped into the air, and he brought his glowing sword down. He sliced the green orb in half, and all of a sudden, Ganondorf and Donovan were standing outside of the monster. The monster exploded, and the pieces went flying.

Link stood in front of Donovan and Ganondorf. The golden fighter stood behind all of them, and when Link turned around, he showed Link the back of his hand. Light started to form, and a light triangle shot out of Link's hand. Another one shot out of Ganondorf's hand, and one shot out from Hyrule. They gathered in front of the man, and they started spinning. THAT'S THE.THAT'S THE.TRIFORCE! The Triforce the shrunk, and flew into the man's hand. Link looked at the man in confusion.

"Who are you?" Link asked. The man unsheathed his sword, and he looked so menacing with that sword. Then he put his long platinum sword back.

"I look forward to our battle." Then he vanished. Link ran forward, and wondered who he was.

I think that was him. Well, why would a good guy want to fight me? Link thought.

"Maybe he wants to see if your worthy of holding that sword?" Toray said.

"OKAY! STAY OUT OF MY MIND! CAN EVERYONE HERE READ MINDS BESIDES ME?!" Link yelled. Toray laughed at Link, and Deity chuckled under his breath.

"Yes," Deity replied, "We are all legends, and legends have to be able to read minds. That shows your competence."

"Shut up!" Link shot back. Deity faced the sky.

"If you all are done, then I have to tell you this mission. I want to awaken Ascension. And you need him. To awaken Ascension, we have to get five Dragon Sprites. When five are collected, then you can get to Sky Temple. The problem is that I think the God of Dark is back, so you need to find Jabrow. I think he is the God of Light. He is from the bloodline that the God of Light made. Now get going! When you gat everything, come here and I will awaken Ascension!" Lena ordered. Link and the others left the graveyard, and they headed for the ranch.
