The Missing Piece

Chapter 2

Author’s note: Thank you for all the amazing support and favourites. We never expected so many people to read it! To the person who told us that our fanfic was pointless because ‘tri’ force means only three pieces, we were planning on explaining this in a later chapter, but we are going to explain it sooner to clarify any of your doubts. We hope you enjoy this chapter and we promise to keep writing as long as we can. Sorry if this chapter is really short, but we felt like we had to update this story even if the chapter wasn’t complete… (Remember, do not sniff the ‘weird flower’, Link doesn’t want you to get sick!) :)

Nayru was walking through Zilia’s garden. It was once filled with colourful flowers and trees, but the beautiful colours were now slowly fading away. It was no surprise to her: as the goddess of Wisdom, she knew exactly what was happening. Zilia was dying, and so was her once wonderful garden. She sat down on a bench in the middle of the roses, feeling the wind against her cheek. Looking around, she remembered the long days spent in this garden with Zilia, Din and Farore. She really missed Zilia, being able to talk for hours and hours about what was going on in Hyrule. Now that she was being kept safe inside the Deku tree, far away from any evil, they couldn’t talk or spend any time together: she would be too weak to even have a conversation with them as she didn’t have the power of her piece of the Triforce. Nayru stood up and started walking towards the fountain in the middle of the garden, but she was suddenly interrupted by voices. She turned around and saw Farore and Din walking towards her.

“Farore and I have been looking for you!” said Din in her usual strong voice. She was wearing a beautiful red dress that was flowing in the wind as she walked towards Nayru.

“Is everything alright?” Farore asked. She was wearing a similar dress to Din, but hers was green.

“Yes, everything is alright. I was just thinking of Zilia and the great times we all spent in this garden.” said Nayru, looking around. Farore and Din could tell she was sad. Her eyes were shining in the sunlight, and a tear ran down her face.

“What happened to Zilia is unacceptable. We need her piece of the Triforce to be returned to the Sacred Temple soon, or she will…” Din paused and looked down.

“Or she will die.” said Farore, closing her eyes, as if trying to erase that thought from her mind. When she opened them again, she saw Nayru and Din staring at her with an uncomfortable look.

“What? I’m simply telling the truth!” Despite what she said, the other goddesses were still looking at her.

“I’m not afraid of the truth. Zilia is dying, let’s face it.”

“We have to hurry and get her piece of the triforce back from the darkness! If we keep waiting, it will be too late.” said Din, looking at the others with a concerned look.

“We can’t just go into the enemy’s territory, we need a plan.” Nayru seemed serious.

“We can’t waste anymore time” said Din. “After all of the stupid brat’s adventures-”

“Hey!” screamed Farore. “Don’t call him a stupid brat! He has a name, you know?”

Din sighed. “Anyway, as I was saying, after all of ‘Link’s adventure, we gained more power and the Darkness became weaker. This is our chance to get Zilia’s piece of the triforce out of the Darkness and to save Zilia from dying.”

“Well, what are we waiting for then, let’s go!” Farore turned around and started to run away from the other goddesses. Din followed, but she suddenly stopped when she heard Nayru’s voice.

“Wait! Stop!” Din caught up to Farore and grabbed her by the collar of her dress.

“What now Nayru? We have to hurry, you know that!” said Din.
