The world that the girl saw // ON HOLD

Chapter 7 - Strength

"Link..."

"Link..."

"Get up, Link..."

A lone feminine voice could be calling out for Link. At first he did not recognize who the voice was, nor did he really pay attention to it. Holding his head as it still caused him much agony, he slowly sat up. He looked around scanning the environment. Recognizing the place to be Zelda's observatory he started to recall what had happened previously and quickly snapped into reality. He stood up and ran to the edge of the ship in the middle where Zelda had been pushed off to the space.

"Link." The same voice called out for him once more.

Link turned around. He did not see anyone, anywhere. He was left alone in this cursed ship. "Zelda!?" He tried to shout asking if the voice indeed was her. "Zelda can you hear me?! Is that you?!"

A lone woman's figure then appeared at the spot where Link had just woke up. She was haloed by a blinding light. A worried expression was upon her face as her fingers were crossed. She slowly started to walk toward him. "I am relieved to see you okay." She expressed, her right hand now switching its place over her heart.

As she got a bit closer Link recognized her to be Zelda. His jaw practically dropped to the floor, as he could not believe his eyes. "Z-zeld- how are you standing there?!" He almost shouted as he carried endless worry of her. Not to mention he was still very terrified and unsure of the witch craft she was involved in.

She sighed and quickly changed her gaze from Link toward the ground. "I am no more than a mere spirit... At this very moment we speak, I am being held in a place far, far away from where this ship stands." She gave a quiet response. "Therefore, I did not come here to talk. So listen well to what I am about to tell you, shall I only tell it once." She gave a warning.

Link nodded in response, ready for her words he positioned himself so he leaned against a wall, making it easier to focus, since his head was still aching so much that it faltered his balance.

"I know that you have already visited the forbidden room I told you not to, you know what lies in there. The master sword." She looked above them, at the stars. "Now you have no idea what that particular sword is, correct?"

Link nodded again looking as curious as ever.

"Only someone chosen by fate could wield the true power of the sword, it carries enormous strength within it. I have treasured that sword for ages, but now, I think it is time to tell you. I believe in my heart, that you, Link, are the chosen hero who shall wield the master sword and slay our enemies in the name of light with it." Her eyes locked onto Link once more. "The true reason I did not end your life on the spot we met, was the fact, that I sensed something in you. And have since heard words of guidance about this whole situation."

Link could not believe what he was hearing. He raised his index finger seemingly wanting to say something but them thought it wise to keep it quiet.

"To think that someone as myself, would trust a simple boy like you enough to tell you all of this..." The tone of her voice made it sound like she regretted bringing this whole thing up with him. She sighed. "But it is what it is. You must enter that forbidden room once more, and try to prove your value as a true hero. For me..." She pointed toward the very end of the observatory.
