Legend of the Clashing Sisters: The Hyrule Chronicles

First Page

Much time after Link, Zelda and I informed Impa, Zelda's caretaker, of the dire situation at hand, we proceeded to prepare much of Hyrule's best soldiers to protect the denizens of this faire kingdom. I observed the training session alongside Link and Zelda. We were most content with the progress at hand. Zelda: "So, Glentina, what do you think of my best and strongest soldiers?" Myself: "Well...I...I...perceive them...I can read their hearts. They...have much love...for this land. Such love...it is...immeasurable." Link: "It is truly what gives a lot of us the strength to fight; the people we care about is the main reason why we fight. Nothing is more important than that." Myself: "But of course...I knew of that. The Wise Men once mentioned to me that Love is what gives all Light wielders their strength." Link: "Really? How so?" Myself: "Our powers feed off of strong emotions. Light magic feeds off of Love, it is the most genuine and potent nourishment of Light magic. It saturates the Light with many warm, comforting and joyous emotions; all things that are viable allies of tranquility. Such is an essential part of our training, to be at peace with oneself, it all be how we learn to utilize Light magic. Love, joy and tranquility; the Light can not continue to shine without them. This is what the Wise Men once spoke of." Link: "Glentina..." Zelda: "The Love that you have for your people, it's what give you your strength, correct?" Myself: "Yes, even though they are no more, my Love for them shall live on. It is...all that I have left of them."

I remained wordless for a time. Myself: "Link? Zelda? May I...convey something else of importance to me with both of you?" Zelda: "Of course. You can tell us anything." Myself: "Upon my arrival in the presence of both of you, I was...uncertain of what to expect. I felt...partially at fault for what happened to the Triforce as well as both of you. Most would presume it as such, but neither of you did. Your perceptions of this most dismal situation were pure and genuine much like both of you. Could this be why you were both chosen recipients for the other 2 pieces of the Triforce?" Zelda: "It...it is...possible...we don't know anyone else more qualified." Link: "Yeah, that much is true, not that it's worth bragging about. I wouldn't brag about it, anyway, for a number of good reasons." Zelda: "It's true, he wouldn't." Myself: "I admire that...I...I thank you both for all that you have done for me. You have...given much that I never would have anticipated to receive from natives of a world much different from my own. Words could never clarify how gracious you have been. You are both so wonderful. You...you have truly been remarkable friends. I have come to love you both as much as my people." Zelda: "Aww...we love you, too, Glentina."

Zelda places her hand upon mine. Zelda: "You are such as strong, kind and gentle person. We are so glad to have met you."

Link then did the same with my other hand. Link: "Absolutely. I think your mentors would have been very proud of you. The way you have used your powers to help us, it would have been what they wanted from you and even though you believe you can do more, you should at least be glad about what you have done for us, so far. You were phenomenal."

I looked towards Link and smiled gleefully. Impa observed this from nearby. She seemed most content and moved by this.

Within a moment's notice, I could sense a terrifying aura that I am acquainted with all too well. Link and Zelda took notice of this; they were greatly startled. Impa rushed over towards as almost immediately upon noticing this as well. Zelda: "Glentina, what is it?" Myself: "Uh...sister..." Link: "What!?!"

Impa arrived beside Zelda. Impa: "My lady, what is wrong with Glentina?" Zelda: "She is sensing out her sister Malbella." Impa: "Is this true!?!" Link: "Yes, Glentina can detect Malbella from any distance. We have seen that she's done this before." Myself: "Sister...!" Zelda: "Glentina informed us of this power of hers. She has a strong connection with Malbella, which is how she was able to sense her out easily and instantly." Link: "From how she is reacting, Malbella is nearby. Either that or she could be using her full powers." Myself: "My sister...she is...she is here! Directly...outside...the castle...!" Zelda: "Oh...oh, no, the town!" Link: "We have to get moving! The townspeople could be in great danger." Zelda: "Let's go."

We rushed out as quickly as we possibly could. Directly outside the castle walls, we were within a town. From much observation, I was able to perceive that the town has been surrounding the castle entirely. Myself: "This town, it was built as a border that contains the castle?" Zelda: "Yes, this is the Castle Town. It is the highest populated town in the kingdom. In addition to that, it is the most popular tourist attraction amongst many of our visitors." Link: "With this massive assortment of inhabitants, Malbella will enjoy wreaking havoc here. We have to find her before she causes any severe injuries towards the people." Zelda: "Then we must hurry!" Impa: "You guys go on ahead; I'll assemble the soldiers within the castle to defend the populace."

We parted from Impa and continued onward.
