Inbetween

Talk

Twilights POV:

Once we were all settled in I had a feeling we weren't going to be getting any sleep for a while. Once we took off our heavy armor, Time interrupted the small talk.

"I think I know a way we can map out the timeline. It will take some cooperation." He looked around the room. I knew it.

"First let me give you some background. Anyone who is before me in time is simply on the one line of time. No overcomplications. Anyone who comes after- that will be harder."

"Why's that?" Legend asked

"In my journey, Zelda and I manipulated time to save my own Hyrule. One line of time. I believe that there are now two other timelines that don't mirror the main timeline." He reached down in his travel pack and grabbed out a book full of pages and a pencil. He drew for a quick second and then showed everyone like a teacher giving a lesson in class.

He moved the tip of his pencil down the paper to show the line he drew. "At the top we have Sky." He said writing 'Sky' on the top of the line. "Here, hypothetically, we have me." He said pointing near the top of the line writing his name next to it. He drew two lines connecting to his place on the time map that forked down. "Here is the timeline I know Wind took over for me." He wrote 'Winds' at the top of the right fork. "And this is the timeline that was a possibility timeline." He said pointing to the left side fork.

"What do you mean by possibility?" Asked Sky.

"You know the phrase one action can change the course of your life" Some of us nodded. "Well, that is not really true. In the end, you end up where you need to be. Especially with us, the Goddess has a windy trail for us to follow. We may stumble off the trail, but the Gods find a way to put us where we need to go in the end for the good of Hyrule."

Not for our good, but Hyrules good. I noted.

"However, when I moved around in time the timeline split. Either the heavens will, or it was out of their control. There is The Main Timeline. Due to the events keeping the timeline safe, we will call it The Child Timeline. Next, we have the Adult Timeline, thats the one Wind takes hold of. Then we have The probability Timeline. Or the cause and effect timeline. To every positive action, there is a negative one. I sealed Ganondorf away and returned to relive my childhood in The Main Timeline. The positive effect created a variant Timeline where I died and failed all of Hyrule."

Wild crossed his arms and clenched his hand digging his nails into his skin. No one else noticed. I looked at him sending a silent message. He loosened his grip once he saw me, but didnt look back. Time continued.

"Now in order to fill in the gaps, We will need to discuss each others adventures and any possible references to past heroes. I get that might not be something you are up for. But I believe it needs to be discussed amongst us if we are to fight together and try to take advantage of our possible further movement through time."

No one said anything. This wasnt really something anyone wanted to volunteer for. I dont know if the heros spirit had anything to do with our soberness, but it did have something to do with our vulnerability thats for sure. We all collectively agreed that this was not something we were up for. But Time didnt look like he was backing down.

"Well this was your idea," said Legend.

Time sighed.

He went on to talk about how his adventure started in his home with his fairy, Navi, waking him up. He was sent to the Deku Tree and thats where his troubles started. He tells us that the Gerudo King and his rising to power. Leaving his home, Spiritual Stones, ocarinas. Something about the ocarina being thrown at him by Zelda before Ganondorf leaves him with the ocarina. This ocarina leads him to The Master Sword. He said that once he pulled the sword, he fell into a seven-year slumber. With the sword removed the Sacred Realm opens and Ganondorf eventually takes over Hyrule, with the Triforce. Then mentions the Sages and the journey through time and how Sheike helped him and also turned out to be Zelda in disguise. Ganondorf became the Demon King Gannon and he was sealed.
