Inside, the room was dark, but warm. It seemed like Link was in a hallway, because he could see light in the distance. He walked towards the light, which was a pale blue. Link could see the movement of several figures, one was huge, like a boulder. E could also see that curvy figures of a few females. Link couldn’t make out who they were, so he moved in closer, but stayed out of anyone’s sight. He leaned against a wall, covered in shadows.
Link’s eyes widened as he realized who everyone was. They were that six Sages, Nabooru of the Gerudo, Ruto of the Zora, Darunia of the Goron, Impa of the Shiekah, Saria of the Kokiri, Rauru of Light, and Link also recognized the seventh Sage, one of his best friends, Zelda. They all stood on one side of a large meeting table, and Link could now only recognized their profiles.
“Okay, let me lay the terms of this negotiation. There will be no threats of war in this meeting. Bringing up personal issues of blackmail is not allowed. Violent actions against he sages and me is not allowed,” Zelda said. Zelda was extremely beautiful. Anyone could tell you that, but to see her was to see the goddesses themselves. Zelda had straight blonde hair, not a single hair was out of place or split at the end. She had a flawless physique, with a figure that men would die to see. Her smile was enough to make her kingdom stand still; no one, not even the women wanted to miss seeing Zelda’s pearly white smile. Her eyes were the same color as Links, a deep cobalt color. She wore the traditional outfit for a princess, a pink and whit blouse with the purple long skirt that had many crests and designs on it. Link wondered how she was still single.
“Agreed, Honorable Zelda,” Someone said. When Link heard the voice, his whole body trembled. Link gazed around the corner to see who was on the other side of the table. There stood six figures, five of them were shrouded in darkness. The only one not covered in shadow was a tall man with blue hair. He wore an elaborate black and blue outfit, with a stylized dragon on the back. He had a sword on his back, with a gorgeous bronze hilt. He stared at Zelda and her council with mild amusement.
“Link, what’s Zelda doing meeting with Palinons? Avon whispered.
“I don’t know. Get under my hat, I don’t want your light giving me away,” Link said. Avon quickly got under Link’s hat. Link then listened to the meeting again.
“Donovan, I do believe that you understand why I called this meeting. I told you upon your arrival that I didn’t want that tower to disrupt the people of Hyrule,” Zelda said.
“With all do respect, that tower is nothing more then a training ground. It’s just a tower I made for my students. You know that I’m searching for an Honorable,” The tall man said. Link figured that was Donovan.
“Please, be realistic. The Sage Council is not clueless,” Ruto said.
“I do agree,” Donovan said. Link could clearly see a ghostly smile on his face, “Which is why I asked permission to build in the first place.”
“When you requested permission to build, you never said that you would build a tower that big,” Zelda countered.
“Listen, Zelda, Let’s skip all of the speculation. You know why I built the tower, don’t you?” Donovan asked.
“I believe that you wished to train soldiers who could combat the Hylian army,” Zelda said calmly.
“Zelda, if I wanted to combat your army, all I would need is my Kitapos and myself.” Donovan replied. He signaled to the figures behind him.
“Then why would you build a training ground?” Zelda asked, obviously taken aback by Donovan’s comment.
“Miss Zelda, have you ever heard the story of Sky Temple?” Donovan asked. Zelda took a step back and gasped. Link put a hand over his mouth to hide his shock.
“Donovan, you know that it’s important to separate fact from fiction,” Impa said.
“I don’t believe that I asked for your opinion,” Donovan said, slightly agitated, “Besides, your own history states many claims to the existence of Sky Temple.”
“Not every fact is accurate. According to history books, the Kokiri are extinct,” Saria said matter-of-factly.
“I understand your doubts. No one has ever seen it, but it does exist. It’s sad when people from other countries no more about your home then what you do,” Donovan said.
“Donovan, I know of Sky Temple’s existence. It hides in the sky for a reason. Mere mortals aren’t meant to mess with the treasure inside,” Zelda said. Link had heard the legend of Sky Temple. His old teacher had once told him that Sky Temple held some dark energy inside of it.
“I’m sure you know why no mortal Hylian can get there,” Donovan said, “Hylians have the Primary Relic, so they have no need for another. We Palinons have a need for the Second Relic thought’” Donovan stood, and the Sage side began to stir uncomfortably, “You know that wars have been triggered because of the Primary Relic. You knew that it was only a matter of time before the information behind the second Relic was leaked. No one believes that the Relic that you can’t even use should be held in your country!” Donovan thundered. He clenched his fists.
“Listen, the Second Relic was placed here for a purpose. It was given to a race who couldn’t use it because we’re the only one’s who won’t abuse it! If it was ever used for the wrong deed, it could mean the destruction of the entire world!” Rauru yelled.
“All of those are fabrications! You asked me not to question your intelligence, I would think you had the decency not to question mine!” Donovan yelled. Donovan then held his left hand up.
Link felt another shiver. The back of Donovan’s hand began to glow an eerie blue and purple. Link could see the faint outline of a triangle on the back of Donovan’s hand. Link’s eyes grew wide as the triangle was broken up into three more triangles, and they all began to pulse blue.
“Wait, it couldn’t be!” Zelda gasped. The glowing stopped, and Donovan looked triumphant.
“That was an emulator of the Second Relic,” Donovan said, “I had to use a glove I found here to make it work. I believe this glove once belonged to His Excellency, Lord Ganondorf.” Link felt his stomach drop as Donovan uttered that name. Ganondorf was the man Link defeated, the man that Zelda sealed in the sacred realm, the man who made Hyrule hell for so long. His name was enough to bring panic to thousands, and Donovan uttered it like it was the name of his best friend. And to make things worse, he wore Ganondorf’s glove, Ganondorf’s abominable glove. Link growled, not knowing that he did so. Apparently someone on Donovan’s side heard him. A woman stepped out of the shadows. Link swallowed as this woman stepped up to Donovan from behind and wrapped her arms around his waist. She stood on her tiptoes and whispered in Donovan’s ear. Even in Link’s anger, he had to admit. This woman was the third most beautiful woman Link had seen, next to Zelda and Malon. He had long blue hair, a slender figure, and a slightly revealing blue and black outfit.
“Donovan, it seems we have a guest, as you had figure we would have,” She said. Even her voice was sexy. Link knew that he was discovered now. He stepped out of the shadows, and walked up to the table. All of the Sages looked surprised, and Link could tell that they wanted to show Link their welcomes right there, but in the presence of Donovan, they couldn’t.
“Link! I didn’t expect you back!” Zelda gasped.
“I didn’t expect to see you at such a negative time,” Link replied with a smile. Link then snapped his attention to Donovan, and his eyes narrowed and grew fierce just like they do when he’s ready to fight, “Donovan, I believe. You do know that you ruined my visit with my friends, do you?”
“Oh well,” Donovan said. His face was covered in a devilish smirk. His eyes showed interest. Link noticed that the girl was still hugging Donovan’s back.
“Listen, I’m not sure what all this Second Relic business is, but no matter what it is, if you have to use any thing that belonged to Ganondorf, it can’t be good!” Link declared.
“Link, is it? Well, do you even know what the Second Relic is?” Donovan asked.
“Never thought about it,” Link answered.
“It’s the Triforce! Well, that’s what the Primary Relic is. The Second Relic is the Dark Triforce, made for all of the other races in the world. Hylians can never touch the Dark Triforce. As you may have noticed, it doesn’t matter that the Hylians have it if they can never use it!” Donovan declared. Link looked at Zelda, confused.
“Link, the Dark Triforce was created to absorb the dark energy of the world, like how the Light Triforce absorbs the light energy of the world. The two relics need each other to survive. With out one, the world’s energy would be out of control,” Zelda explained.
“The two relic also have the duty of canceling each other out. Without one, the world would lean towards the other energy. If there were no Light Triforce, the world would be overrun with evil. Without the Dark Triforce, the world would have only positive emotions,” Donovan said
“So, wouldn’t the world be better without the Dark Triforce?” Link asked.
“Life can not exist without good and evil. If everything was shielded by good, then people would have anything to stride for, so people would lose their will to live. It would lead to the end of the world,” Zelda said. Link turned his attention back to Donovan.
“Why do you want to use the Dark Triforce?” Link asked.
“I have many deed to do for my country. I need to make my country stronger…so that we can be the greatest in the world,” Donovan declared.
“And what would you do with that strength?” Link asked.
“Link, you’ll never understand what one does with power. I have always wanted to be king of the entire world…I could use my power to control everything! I could make the world bow down to me only! I could be the world’s new God!” Donovan looked up, as if he was seeing heaven. Link glared in disgust.
“No mortal is meant to be God!” Link growled.
“No one? Interesting,” Donovan started, “That sounds like something that your king would tell me.” Donovan said, “Now that I look, the resemblance is uncanny. You both have the same fierce eyes.”
“What are you talking about?” Link asked.
“Wait, Zelda, you never told him the truth?” Donovan asked.
“Shut up Donovan. I just found out a year ago,” Zelda said.
“What are you two talking about,” Link demanded.
“Link, do you remember your mother?” Donovan asked.
“No, not really. All I know is that she escaped the town during a battle,” Link said.
“There’s more to it. You never wondered why your mother died on the same day as the Queen of Hyrule?” You never wondered why you and Zelda look so much alike?” Donovan taunted. Link’s eyes grew wide as he realized what Donovan was saying.
“Wait…you mean?” Link started.
“Yes! Your mother was the Queen of Hyrule!” Link’s legs felt like jelly, “Link, your father, the King, was out of Hyrule at the time and he had your sister! Your mother was still here with you when the castle was attacked. She ran to the Kokiri forest and died. The King believed that you were dead too, so he never made a rescue operation. Instead he raised his daughter into the fine woman she is today.” Link glanced at Zelda.
“You mean…Zelda’s my sister?” Link asked.
“Yes!” Donovan exclaimed, “I can’t believe that you never figured it out!”
“I’m a prince…no…It can’t be true! Zelda would have told me!” Link yelled.
“I grow tired of debating. I’ll leave with one comment,” Donovan turned and led his people down the hall. He then turned back and looked directly at Link.
“I will be more then just a legend to my people…I will be a god, then I will avenge the souls of my fellow Palinons!” and with that, him and his cloud of followers left. Link was left speechless and confused.
Zelda led the sages out of the room, and Link followed with his head down. No one could tell how angry Link was because his hair fell over his face. When everyone was in the main hall, Zelda turned to Link.
“Zelda, tell me. Is it true?” Link asked.
“Link…I’ve only known for a year. I know that I should have tried to find you and tell you…” Zelda started.
“I didn’t ask that…Is it true?” Link asked again.
“Yes Link…” Zelda said. Zelda looked at Link like she was sorry. Then, her eyes widened with surprise when Link raised his head. He wore a loving smile, although he had long streams of tears falling from his eyes.
“I really have a family…I have a father and a sister?” Link asked through his smiles and his tears. Zelda scurried to Link and hugged him. The held each other in that embrace what felt like an eternity.
“Link…my brother…it’s good to have you back,” Zelda said. You could tell that she was about to cry.
“Same here…sis..” Link chuckled as he said that. He always wanted a brother or sister. Now, he had one. After 21 years of being without a family, he finally had someone. He had his sister.
“So…Link…Not to break up a happy reunion, but since Zelda is you sister, and not you girl, can we hurry up and get married?” Ruto asked. Link and Zelda both looked at her with surprise. They let go of each other and glared at Ruto.
“Whoa, Link!” Avon said. He emerged from Link’s hat and flew to Ruto, “You getting married to a girl with no clothes!” Avon chirped. As soon as he said that, Ruto slapped him to the ground.
“Link, is that your new fairy?” Zelda asked.
“Yeah, he’s Avon, the world’s biggest playboy,” Link said. Avon rose again, and looked at Zelda.
“Hmm, who cares for a girl with no clothes when you got a goddess like her in front of you!” Avon started.
“You know I’m Link’s sister, right?” Zelda replied. Avon turned red, and flew in front of Link’s face.
“Link…I got a bone to pick with you,” Avon said.
“What’s up?” Link asked, after he dried his eyes.
“Why didn’t you tell me that Zelda was your sister?” Avon flew closer to Link’s head.
“I just found out,” Link replied, “What are you planning?”
“Well, amateur, let’s just say that I’m about to become your brother-in-law,” Avon said devilishly. He returned to being blue. He flew over to Zelda and landed on her shoulder.
“Zelda, how about you and me go up to the tallest wing in this castle. If you close the door for two hours…I’ll give Link a little nephew,” Avon said. Zelda pondered for a minute, then she realized what he had proposed. She smacked Avon harder then any other girl. Avon crashed into a decorative shield, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
“Damn…that’s the longest Avon-Slapping distance yet,” Link said in awe. Zelda looked at Link and laughed.
“Wow, I hope we can good times like this all the time, Zelda said.
“Yeah…well, I have some questions for you,” Link said, “I think that there are some thing about Donovan that I need to know,” Link said.
“Are you sure you want to know? What I have to say will make you look at our entire country in a new light,” Zelda said.
“I need to know…there’s too many mysteries around Donovan and the Second Relic. I need to know,” Link said.
“Okay…but I warned you,” Zelda said.
Link gulped again, and waited to hear the truth
