Lol. This story gets worse and worse as the years go on.

It's finally finished! OK, firstly, the beginning sucks. But it gets SO much better by like chapter seven or eight. So if you want it to be good, start reading at the first History chapter (chapter seven), and read until chapter fourteen, where it will double back to here. I like how the story starts, but it's slow and sorta almost plotless to begin reading here. I'm too lazy to rewrite it! haha

So I really do hope you enjoy! Here's my epic 384 page magnum opus.

…And She Waited

Cold, it’s so cold…

Where is he?

He can’t be gone…

He’ll come…

MEANWHILE…

CLACK-CLACK-CLACK

The rhythmic beating of Epona’s hooves on the ground made him tired…

But he had to go…

Save her.

Save them.

MEANWHILE…

“Go away!”

“Mwahahaha!”

“No! He’ll come, I just know it…”

“This is your end, little …”

“Stay away, Gannondorf! He’ll kill you when he comes, he’ll kill you…”

“Do you seriously think that little knife of yours can help you? You’ll meet your end, here and now!”

“No! No…” but she collapsed, put to sleep by some magic spell,

“Meghan!” an older ’s voice sounded, but she hit the ground.

MEANWHILE…

“Yah! Go faster, Epona, this is important!” he was half crying, how could he be so careless? Why had he let her go alone? Why hadn’t he paid more attention to what she had said?

FLASHBACK…

“Zelda is in trouble, and I’m not going to stand here and wait!”

“Meghan, we need to get the supplies before we can just barge in and fight him!”

“I’m going, whether you come or not!” and with that, Meghan played the Prelude of Light and warped to the Temple of Time, taking his ocarina with her.

“She won’t actually go, will she? Oh no!” Link mounted Epona and rode as fast as possible…

“She only has the Kokiri Sword and a Deku shield, how far did she think she could get?” And she had taken his ocarina, but why. “Meghan, you’d better be alright, that’s all I can say.”

END FLASHBACK

“Come on Epona!” they were nearing the collapsed bridge leading to the abandoned Hyrule Castle Town. He dismounted and ran top speed to Gannondorf’s castle. But there were yet more obstacles to come.

MEANWHILE…

“How should I dispose of you?” Gannondorf said, pacing in front of the semi-conscious Meghan.

“Gannondorf, I swear if you touch her I’ll…I’ll… kill you…” Zelda said, still trapped in her pink gem-shaped bubble.

Meghan was in some sort of semi-conscious state, still hearing what was going on outside. She remembered what just happened…

FLASHBACK

Meghan ran out of the Temple of Time and into Gannondorf’s castle. The sages had made a bridge for them when they had been there before…

Inside Meghan was not aware that the barrier that would have kept Link out of the tower was down, especially for her. It was like Gannondorf was inviting her in…

Up the stairs she went, which were free of the monsters that would have clouded Link and all the doors were unlocked.

She got to a final door, and heard organ musi , il it stopped abruptly a soon as she went to open the door. She opened it…

“Hello, little .” Meghan froze in horror, thoughts racing through her mind…why didn’t I have my sword out? Why was that so easy? WHY DIDN’T I WAIT FOR LINK?

He was standing in front of her, laughing so hard, so malevolently she thought his head would fall off. She drew her sword, ready to fight, when she saw Zelda.

“Zelda!” Meghan’s hand dropped, the sword falling to her side, still clutched in her hand, carelessly. She forgot about the evil man standing next to her in her want to help her friend.

BAD mistake.

She ducked just in time to miss a blow from Gannondorf’s Sword. Pulling the sword back up to the ready position, Meghan readied for a blow. He swung and she parried, holding it there with all her strength.

But he was too strong…

They stood, swords locked in battle. It was too much for Meghan. The sword flung from her hands all the way across the room. Gannondorf’s sword came crashing down, and she jumped back just in time to miss a blow to her hand. She escaped with just a cut, trickling down her hand…

She pulled the pocketknife from her pocket, ready to pounce…

That all seemed so long ago. Now, all she could do was sit (or lay). And she waited…

MEANWHILE

Link went through the different doors, which each held a small puzzle to solve, each with a likeness to the temples in Hyrule…Spirit, Shadow…Fire, Water…Forest and Light were each dispatched without much work. He even got new gauntlets, but nothing could relieve him of his worried state. How did she get in so easily when he had to solve all of these puzzles? He didn’t see her anywhere…

Finally, the force field came down He ran inside the tower, fought some monsters, and got more keys. Then he ran up more stairs…

MEANWHILE…

Meghan was thinking…

I’m helpless, I’m gonna die…

Nobody’s trying to save me…

Maybe they don’t care…

I was always in the way it seemed…

“Look at you, littlegirl, lying there helpless, like a little bug, waiting to be squashed.” Zelda was now doing all she could to get out of her bubble. Nothing seemed to work…

Meghan thought she heard a door open…

She couldn’t move…

It must be the door to …

“Die.” It sounded, like a whisper so far away…

Then the sounded of a sword crashing down on air, that sounds like the sword is cutting the air…cutting wind…

CLANG

The sound of metal on metal…somebody had saved her and she could feel who it was…

Another scrape, and she knew Gannondorf and the presence were further away.

So she waited.

CLANG CLANG…CLANG

It seemed to last forever…

She still couldn’t move, but she was silently thanking the presence for saving her from by decapitation…

“I’ll be back…” Gannondorf said, suddenly breathing very hard and he spit something out. EEEWW! He collapsed,dead.(?)

“Is she…” Link started to say.

“She’s alright. She’s in a semi-conscious state in which she can hear us but cannot move.” Zelda said, now out of the bubble. “I’ll see if I can revive her.” She knelt down next to Meghan, held out her hand and a stream of magic flowed from it. Meghan felt a warm sensation and she could move again. But she was sore all over, and tired.

“Are you alright?” Link asked her, steadying her as she stood. She was weak, and was leaning mostly on him.

“Mmm-hmm,” Meghan looked at Link, and noticed something different.

“YOU got new gauntlets.”

“Yup, the gold gauntlets.”

“Those would have come in handy a few minuets ago…” Meghan held up her hand to show him what was still dripping.

“Oh, let me fix that.” He said, wrapping the wound with some gauze from his endless back pocket. He wrapped it tightly but in a gentle manner.

“Pretty good, for someone who doesn’t bleed.” Meghan said as she examined her wrapped hand. She realized that Link was breathing heavily, and he leaned on his knees. Zelda was looking out the stained glass window.

“Hey, Link, your life meter is down. Let me see if I have potion…” Meghan said as she rummaged through her backpack. She held out some blue potion to him.

“No, wait until it is lower.”

“It’s low enough, take it.”

“No, I can wait…”

“No you can’t.

Zelda was still standing next to the window, and she sighed. She watched as Meghan tried to shove the potion down his throat, but he repeatedly pushed her hands away.

Like children, she thought. Could it be over? She placed her gloved hand on the window. Could this be the end of the evil that once roamed our land? What will become of Link and Meghan?

She looked back at Meghan and Link, who had Meghan’s wrist in his hands, pinning them down so she couldn’t reach his mouth.

Suddenly, the ground started to shake.

“Link, with his last breath, Gannondorf is trying to collapse this place!” Zelda warned.

“Come on! We have to go!” Link was still short of breath, so he was a bit slow.

“Ya should’ve listened to me.” Meghan said.

“Follow me!” Zelda said as they rushed down the tower. Zelda used her magic to open a gate, and they went onward. Debris from the collapsing tower was falling, barely missing their heads.
