Knight In Red Armor

The Hero Hidden With in

I woke up in the middle of nowhere. Where was I? I thought. I looked around. Where did Vaati and Zelda and the others go? I started to furrow my brow with worry. I stood up and I was weak. What is this place, it looks like a field. Maybe Hyrule field. I took a couple steps forward and I fell to my knees. I felt a severe pain run through my head that made me freeze and shake in pure agony. Just like it appeared the pain went away. I sat up and stood up once more and I noticed black clouds that looked black as coal. My eyes widened and I stumbled to my feet those were not storm clouds. What was happening? I broke into a run away from the clouds that were moving in way to fast. I tripped and turned behind me and I fell. What was this?! I felt the same pain but ten times worse come back into my head. I felt like my head was going to burst. I shook terribly and I let out a blood-curdling scream. I trembled in fear. That's when I saw him. A man in black armor on a black horse stood over me. He had an evil grin plastered on his face. Everything about this man right down to his aurora around him screamed that he had evil intentions. For five minutes he kept screaming my name.

"Samantha! Are you okay, you're shaking and screaming! Samantha! Wake up!!" I finally opened my eyes and bolted upright and let out an alarming scream. I backed up away from who looked to be Vaati and Tetra. I sighed in relief when my eyesight finally focused right. Tears started to prick at my eyes and I buried my head in my hands. I let out a sob.

"What happened? Why are you freaking out like this?" Vaati asked. I sobbed so much I could barely even form a sentence correctly.

"I...I h-had a h-hor-"

"It's okay, you can tell us when you are calm," Zelda said. Vaati rested his hand on my shoulder and I was so scared, I jumped away. Vaati and Tetra exchanged a confused look that then turned into a concerned look then looked back at me. I finally stopped shaking and slowly sat up and then just as fast as I sat up the tears leaked out of my eyes. About two minutes later I calmed down completely. I stood up and sighed. I looked at Vaati then at Tetra and Owen and then Zelda. All of them looked very concerned. I sighed once more then said.

"I guess I should explain my little episode just now. Well, I had this nightmare that seemed realistic. I thought it was real..." As I explained my nightmare I noticed or sensed a strange aura around us.

"Not to interrupt, but do you feel an odd presence?" Vaati asked as he walked to Epona. I followed Vaati but before I could reach the head of the saddle I got a severe stabbing in my head which led to a blood-curdling scream.

"Samantha!" Vaati shouted but that was the last I saw of him for now because my world went black. I opened my eyes once more to find that I was surrounded by nothingness. It's hard to explain what nothingness was. I stood up and I stood on nothing it was like standing on air, but there wasn't air. Where in Nayru's green land of Hyrule was I? Then I saw her. A beautiful woman dressed in a white dress, with golden sandals. She had golden hair and held a harp. She had crystal blue eyes. She looked like Zelda but older.

"Samantha, From what I have seen these past two days has shown me you are a Warrior. You are strong from what I have seen. You are smart and strong and you hold an importance to this land."

"How do I hold an importance here? I have come from a different world?!" I was confused.

"You share the Triforce of Courage inside of you with the chosen hero who got captured. I opened that portal for a reason. This land is plummeting into Shadow and You, and my descendant Zelda are now the only ones who shed a tear of hope to save Hyrule before it is too late."

"Who are you?"

"I am the Goddess Hylia. I know much of you young Warrior. Now, this is in your hands. Please save Hyrule young warrior." I was shocked. I shared the Triforce of Courage with the Chosen Hero of Time!! I guess I do hold importance to life.

"Young girl, come forth and sit with me I need to tell you a story that will make it better understood." I followed the Goddess Hylia and we soon sat on a white bench. She looked down at me with a small smile.

"Listen well, Young Warrior of this land. When shadows fall on Hyrule, a hero shall appear. The three triangles on the left hand symbolize power, wisdom, and courage-- these are the marks of the hero who is fated to appear when peace crumbles in Hyrule. If one of impure heart gains the powers of shadow... the world will be covered in darkness." I gasped. I was about to speak when she spoke before me.

"Hold on young warrior, I am not finished. Let me explain to you how the Triforce works. If you would seek the sacred triangle, listen well. The resting place of the sacred triangle, the Sacred Realm, is a mirror that reflects what is in the heart, the heart of the one who enters it. If an evil heart, the Realm will become full of evil; if pure, the Realm will become a paradise. The Triforce...the sacred triangle... it is a balance that weighs the three forces: Power, Wisdom, and Courage. If the heart of the one who holds the sacred triangle has all three forces in balance, that one will gain the True Force to govern all. But if that one's heart is not in balance, the Triforce will separate into three parts: Power, Wisdom, and Courage. Only one part will remain for the one who touched the Triforce...the part representing the force that that one most believes in. If that one seeks the True Force, that one must acquire the two lost parts. Those two parts will be held within others chosen by destiny, who will bear the Triforce mark on the back of their hands." I was now speechless.

"Let your power inside of you, awaken young warrior. Now, your friends are getting worried I must send you back but once you return, you won't be so weaponless. You also will have the clothes and weapons of a hero just of a different color." The Goddess smiled at me once more and started to fade away. "The destiny of Hyrule is in your hands please save it." She smiled once more and disappeared. I closed my eyes once more.
