"Haunted Dreams"

. . .

Screams.

Pain.

A mixture of both.

Fighting.

Hatred.

Death.

At first, the images are blurry, but the sounds are so loud and clear. The piercing screams and the feeling of pain are surely there.

When the blurriness vanishes, the images become crystal clear. The imagines kept changing to different pictures, only staying the same for a few moments.

The images were not something new, but something old and something familiar.

The first image showed two teens, Zelda and Link, running around Skyloft, laughing. Both friends are chasing each other, right now Link is chasing Zelda, who is in a fit of laughter. It's the afternoon and it was a beautiful day in Skyloft. Never teens looked like they could be any happier.

Suddenly, the image changes to her; standing there in her white Goddess dress. Her back to him, but when she hears footsteps, she turns around and gives him a smile. She tells him how she's glad he made it this far.

He stares at her, shocked. He's lost with words. His eyes are wide and all he wants to do is run up to her, pull her into his arms, and never let go.

She starts telling him about the past and fills him in on the information he did not know or understand fully.

She told him about the Triforce and the supreme power it holds. She then tells him about the Demon-King, Demise and his desire for evil and power; how he wanted to take the Triforce for himself. She then told him how Skyloft was made and more details.

She finally looked at him and told him how the Goddess created Fi, who will be assisting the Chosen Hero.

Then, she finally told him how the Goddess left her form and transferred her soul into another person to reincarnate into another mortal's body.

Then that's when she told him after explaining the story, "You've probably figured it out by now, haven't you, Link?" . . . "You are the Chosen Hero, and I Zelda . . . I am the Goddess reborn as a mortal."

She talked about how she and Impa met, but Link didn't listen. He was beyond shocked at what Zelda . . . his Zelda just said.

She was Hylia. The goddess.

Zelda then started telling Link how she must remain there to keep the seal shut and keep it strong as long as she can.

Link gasped, he didn't want to lose her again. He stared at her while she looked away, sadness on her face as she spoke.

Zelda then told him how he found wisdom, power, and courage and because of that, she will bless his sword with the Goddess's power.

The Triforce on Link's hand lit up and she blessed his sword. However, he may be the Hero of Legend, but he still didn't have his Zelda. He wants to protect her, save her, be with her, but the next thing she says it is as it was a stab to the heart. She told Link how she used him. How she knew he would do anything to save her; he would throw himself into danger headfirst if he had to.

She walked away from Link, her back to him. Zelda then told Link another painful, heartbreaking thing . . .

She will be remaining there, in that time, deep in sleep for thousands of years.

Link gasped, not believing it. He wouldn't let her. He couldn't let her. He can't watch her put herself to sleep; he can't watch her be taken away from him . . . not again.

She said sorry, but the only thing Link cared about was saving her . . . saving his Zelda. Zelda told him how she was so happy with him on Skyloft and she wanted that feeling to last forever . . . so did he.

Then with that, as Zelda stands there, a large, clear orange crystal begins to form. Link ran with all his might to get to her before it fully formed around her. He tried so hard to get to her, to push her out of the way and stop her. He almost tripped as he ran to her, but he was fully focused on Zelda.

He was too late.

The Hero began banging on the crystal, banging on it with his hands and yelling. However, as Link banged and tears forming in his eyes, yelling, Zelda said one final thing that remained in Link's mind forever; it was imprinted into his mind.

"While it's true that I am Hylia reborn, I'm still my Father's daughter and your friend . . . I'm still your Zelda."

She told him that when Demise is gone, she would be able to wake up. She made him promise that even though she always used to be the one to wake him up; this time he would be the one to wake her up when everything is over.

Link promised he would and then with that, she went to sleep. Link continued to shout at the crystal and he continued to bang. He was practically in tears. Throughout his entire adventure, he never cried or felt pain . . . until now.

After everything, Zelda has said and just now, watching Zelda force herself to sleep in that crystal, he felt pain. His heart broke and he felt destroyed. A tear then slipped down his cheek.

. . .

Swords clashed; both the Master Sword and the long, sharp sword Demise holds hit each other, leaving sparks.

Both men alone, no one watching them and there was no help to be given to either.

It was the final battle.

Demise was huge compared to Link; Demise could easily kill Link, if it was not for Link being so skilled and strong. Demise's towering over the Hero, hatred and coldness in his dark eyes as he glares at Link.
