The
Test of Courage

The being in front of Link stepped closer his hand out to
Link. Link watched in fear not sure what to do. The being seemed like a Gibdo
but it didn�t scream its paralyzing curse. The being pushed the sword away and
dropped down to eye level with Link but kept its face covered. It spoke with a
rather gruff voice proving it was an older man.

�Hero of Time?� was all it said.

�No, he died, I am his son. Who are you?� Link spoke a
little shaken.

�Hmm.� The man paused a bit as though thinking �I am just
an old man. I saw you and your father fighting those Stalfos, but I left before
it ended.�

��Yea�� Link looked down like he was a disgrace and a
failure. �I�he died fighting them. If I was stronger he might still be here.�

�Really?� The man pulled his hood back as he smirked. His
face and head were wrapped in bandages. Only small tuffs of red hair stuck out
through the cloths. �If you want, I know a way to bring him back, and make you
stronger then you could ever imagine. All you have to do is go to the Temples
of the Goddesses.�

�That is forbidden! No one can go there.� Link looked to
the man. �If I went I could be beheaded for breaking royal law.�

�That is if you are caught, and technically they are
outside the land of Hyrule.� The man�s words were as velvet and almost
hypnotizing. He smirked knowing he had young Link wrapped and ready to go for
the idea. �One on the land, one in the sky, the other in the water, I can help
you get in. You will have the power of the goddesses at your every whim. You
will be famous and you will be able to get the woman of your dreams, Princess
Zelda.�

�I don�t Know�� he was cut off when he heard what was
said �Princess Zelda, I like her but not like that.� Link looked to him before
sighing softly scratching his head �What do you want in return? No one would do
such a thing and not want something in return.�

�I will tell you, once you finished the task I set ahead
of you, and I would like to come along with you.� The man smiled again before standing
up straight walking to the horse petting it. �That is if you don�t mind.�

�Not at all, how far away is the first temple?� Link
looked up. To the man before helping him on to the horse

�Hmm, the first is in the forest. The path is difficult
to get to, because it is hidden� The man sat on the horse before helping Link
up in front of him. �When we get to the correct spot, I will open the path and
you will be able to enter the temple�

Link nodded and spun his horse around with ease before
they took off in a gallop. Link was a little unnerved about what the man said.
He knew it was wrong but also had a voice in his head saying �Go, Go, Go!� Was
he being greedy, self centered or was he trying to fix what he wasn�t able to
stop.

When they reached the edge of the forest near Kokiri
forest, Link slowed Bayard down. The man pointed where to go. Link was still
very unsure he should even start as he didn�t know if he should go or not. Link
stopped and looked around as a wall of trees lined the path. The man slid from
Bayard�s back and looked up to the tree and smirked.

Walking to the tree�s putting his hands up to them he
stood still for a moment. Link sighed figure he was pulled in to a bad gag
until he heard the tree started to creek and moan. They slowly bent forward and
to the side opening a new path. Bayard reared back and let out a cry of
fear tossing Link off. When the tree�s stopped everything grew calm and the man
turned.

�Well young man, go down that path and the temple will be
there. When you get inside find the lowest chamber for an incantation shrine
then go to the top to find a large crystal place your hands on it and speak the
incantation.� The man smiled a bit thinking it would be way too easy. �Once you
do that, come back with the reward you will receive and we can head to the
next.�

Link nodded and stepped through the tree�s pulling the
Big Goron Sword from his back. He walked slowly in case something jumped out at
him though nothing really did. He got close to the temple entrance when a
Wolfos jumped out and attacked. Taking it down quickly Link didn�t want to
hesitate any longer. He ran straight up the temple steps and walked in looking
around. He stayed close to the wall as he walked, before seeing a set of
stairs that ran down.

Slowly heading down the stairs in to the room below, he
smirked seeing only a few Keese flying about the room. Moving closer to a room
a large hand looking creature jumped down from the ceiling.

�A Wallmaster!� Link jumped back holding his sword up
before attacking it viciously before it could attack him. He looked up and saw
a horde of them hanging from the ceiling. �OH shit!�

Link ran quickly through another door and sighed before
looking around. He saw a large shrine like area. He walked slowly to the shrine.
The closer he got the more he felt like someone was watching him. He would
reach the shrine before he would hear laughter fill the area. He turned around
seeing a large and very strange creature behind him.

The creature looked similar to a Wolfos and an Iron
Knuckle. Link felt like he was punched in the stomach before he pulled
his shield and his sword. He stepped slowly to the side as the creature watched
him. The laughter stopped as the creature swung and attacked with a large
hammer axe.

Link dove out of the way getting behind it and slashing
it causing its armor to fall from its body. A smirk played his lips as he was
felt a great accomplishment just by opening it up to attacks but what he didn�t
know is that he made it faster. He found out he did when he was knocked off his
feet by the hammer slamming in to him and swinging him around to the floor.

Link growled and looked up before rolling out of the way
of the next attack. He ran up and trusted his sword straight through the beast.
A loud roar filled the area as the creature fell defeated. Link took this
chance to read over the incantation and even right it down before something
else came out to attack. Doing a mad dash through the next room to the stairs,
Link was getting as far away from the fiends in the area as he could. He now
would work on finding a way up to the main chamber where he would unlock the
power of the temple.

***Back
outside***

The man stood waiting as Link walked out of site, once
gone he removed the bandages from his head exposing long flaming red hair and a
orange ruby on his forehead. His dark tanned skin now able to breathe the fresh
air, not hiding from it behind the cloths. He smirked a bit before looking to
Bayard.

�It is good to be back from the dark realm, and to have a
young body at that.� He patted Bayard�s head and smirked �And this world will
be mine once again and when that boy brings me the powers of all the goddesses
no one can stop me.� The man cackled a waiting for Link to return.

***Back
inside***

Link found himself cornered by a few mini Floormasters.
He would dive over them, as he left a bomb where he was standing. It exploded
destroying the Floormasters. He would laugh a bit as he ran up a large set of
stairs. He ran as fast as he could when he saw a bright light up at the top.
When he reached the top he smiled and looked around hoping he could do the
incantation and leave.

He saw a large Green emerald like gem sitting on a
platform in the middle of the floor. He walked over and placed his hand on it
as it felt like a jelly rather than a hard gem. He pulled out the incantation
he had wrote down and started to repeat it slowly wondering what will happen.

�Green of Courage thou shall come forth. Show yourself
and be known to all as Farore. By the name of land, come forth, Goddess of the
land!� Link shouted as he looked to the gem

�Who calls Farore, Goddess of the earth you walk on and
the Goddess of courage?� a voice called out.

Link looked around before seeing a beautiful woman appear
in the gem. She had very long green hair pulled in to pigtails on either side
of her head. He was dressed in a green dress; the cloth ran over her right
shoulder across her chest under her left arm then around her waist like a toga.
She opened her eyes as they were like emeralds. Link looked at her in awe
before forcing out the words he was thinking out of his mouth.

�I am Link; I came for the power of the goddesses.� Link
stood tall looking to her.

�It is forbidden for the goddesses to give their powers
to ones not worthy. Are you ready for any and all consequences and a test to
determine if you have enough courage?� Farore�s voice flowed out effortlessly.

�Yes I am!� Link pulled his sword and shield quickly

�Let the test begin.� She faded as the gem floated up,
leaving Link, all alone.

Link looked about waiting for something to happen as he
looked down seeing four large skeletons appear. His eyes widen as he started to
breathe heavier unable to think straight now. His worst fear came from under
his feet. The Skeleton stood; they were all Stalfos just like the one that
attack that day. Another person appeared it was Link�s father. Unable to think
clearly, Link dropped to his knees covering his head before hearing his
father�s cries of help.

�Link, Help me! For the love of God Help! HELP!� His
father called out repeatedly in different orders and different ways.

Link shook his head as he kept thinking it�s not real.
Link looked over as the Stalfos surrounded his father who was defenseless.
Link�s eyes widen even more, before his body started to move on its own and
tackled his father out of the way of the Stalfos. He looked back as he came to
his scenes and realized what was going on.

�This is not real.� Link smirked and pulled his sword and
shield before attacking them quickly making sure he didn�t work on one more
than the others.

Link was determined not to lose his father this time even
though he knew it wasn�t really his father. With a mighty swing he took the
head off two of them before he tried to take down the last two. With a smirk me
pulled out a bomb and jammed it in to the Stalfos� chest before jumping at the
out and kicking it in the head. The Stalfos with the bomb tried to remove it
put before of the bone had no grip is soon ran about till it was blown to
pieces.

The last Stalfos was not going to give up. It was only a
matter of time before the other three got back up and Link knew time was
ticking. After about another five minutes he saw the other Stalfos start to
twitch as they were coming back. Link growled and stabbed the last in the head
pulling the head off letting it fall. As soon as the last one fell they all
became engulfed with a blue flame. Smiling, Link spun and looked to his father
who fell to the floor.

Link ran over quickly as he looked down to his father. He
knelt down and looked to him like he was about to cry. His father looked up and
smiled peacefully. Link felt horrible feeling like he failed once again.
�I am sorry dad.� Link spoke softly �I failed to save you
again.�

�No you didn�t you couldn�t stop what you didn�t see till
it was too late.� His father looked up smiling. �You were brave enough to stand
up to that night once again, I am proud.�

�Maybe stupid, but not brave,� Link looked down, �I am
still sorry if I ran like you said you would probably still be alive.�

�Nah, still be dead but you wouldn�t have been by my side
to help me go peacefully.� His father laughed a bit �You probably thinking
�this is not real�. In a way it is but I am really, I am what you thought of me
in your heart, strong, trusty worthy, and not afraid to ask for help.�

�Yea but I don�t care if it isn�t real. I get to
apologize now for failing the first time� Link smiled and stood up. �Thank you,
dad, you were my best friend. Please watch me in the next life, I promise not
to disappoint you.�

�You have more courage in you then I ever did.� His
father slowly started to disappear. �And I am sure you won�t disappoint me, as
long as you do what you think is right.�

Link watched as his father dissipated in the air slowly.
The giant gem came back down and Farore looked to Link. She smiled and nodded
gently and held her hand out to him. Link looked up to her and walked over
reaching up to take hers. When he did he was lifted off his feet and pulled in
to the gem.

He looked about before wincing feeling a burning all over
his body. He closed his eyes and curled like someone punched him in the
stomach, before he let out a blood curdling scream, his back arching back with
the pain, as he felt like someone was ripping his chest and stomach open with a
set of claws. He looked down to see a dark green substance forcing itself in to
his body. He would soon pass out from the pain of his body being invaded by the
foreign substance.

When he would awake he would find a great yet horrid
reward was given to him but when he find outs would he truly be able to enjoy
or loath what it was that the goddess had gave him. The only question that
remains is, Will he wake up and still be himself or would he wake and be what
his father fought so hard to keep away?
