Legend of the Seven Lights

B-23. Old Legends

Like I said before, this chapter comes after Chapter 44 of the Main Story, and actually continues from it. So if you don't remember, skim through it if you want. XP But I'll throw in a quick recap just in case.

Chapter B-23: Old Legends

DunBroch Kingdom

After retrieving the Ocarina of Time from the Ancient Ruin, the team of Cheren, Kayla, Nerehc, and Merida returned to DunBroch. Using the ocarina, Nerehc played the Song of Soaring, which Cheren memorized, as it would warp them to the owl statue that he activated in DunBroch long ago. The four kids were encased in a pair of giant wings, which spun around, and within seconds they were whisked to the statue in the middle of the town.

"Wow, it actually worked!" Cheren beamed. MaKayla and Merida were dizzy from the experience.

"What other manner of witchcraft haven't you showed us?" the princess asked.

"So Nerehc, why are you suddenly interested in this Madara person?" Cheren asked, regarding Nerehc's question before they warped.

"You mentioned having confronted Ragaj Gnik." MaKayla noted. "Did he have something to do with it?"

"Yes." Nerehc nodded. "Ragaj showed me visions of some people—I think they were the Thirteen Darknesses. And in one of them, two Japanese guys were having a face-off... and I heard the name 'Madara.' So Merida, how much do you know about him?"

"Only as much as my dad and Macintosh told me." Merida replied as they headed to an alleyway, away from the noisy townspeople. "He was a Japanese warrior that came here from the Land of Fire 200 years ago. Like Macintosh said, thousands of warriors fought him, but he destroyed them all."

"Two hundred years?" Cheren raised a brow. "That's awfully recent. A bit too recent to be a 'legend.'"

"Well, the thing is, everyone was destroyed. No other witnesses lived to tell the tale. But Madara survived and that giant canyon just appeared. Everyone who came to see it believed Madara was responsible."

"So then what happened to him?" Nerehc asked.

"Another Japanese man appeared and chased him away... so the legends say. I can't tell ya any more than that because I don't know."

"Another man..." Nerehc rubbed his chin. "The two men from my vision..."

"What did they even look like?" asked Cheren.

"Well, one of them was wearing a silver headband... It had a symbol like a swirly thing... with a little point."

"Your descriptive powers are sensational." Kayla remarked.

"Hey, I only had a second to look at it!"

"Wait!" Cheren reached in his pocket. "Did the symbol look like this?" He pulled out his Hidden Leaf Headband.

"IT IS!" Nerehc recognized the symbol.

"Oh, yah." Merida remembered. "You use that to turn into a ninja. Fuh-reakyyyy."

"I got this headband from the Land of Fire in Japan."

"Then that's where we should go." Nerehc decided. "If Madara is a Darkness..." He looked at the Ocarina of Time in his hand, "then I need to meet him."

Fi jumped out of the Master Sword. "Master Cheren, based on these words, I conjecture an 80% chance Nerehc intends to use the Ocarina of Time to travel back to a time when Madara was alive. The ocarina does possess the potential to travel through many periods in time. However, in order to set a specific time and date, certain requirements must be fulfilled."
