Time... it's a funny thing when you think of it. Just ask Din, Nayru, and Farore the three goddesses who created the land called Hyrule and everything in it. But as we know time is like a tree or a river whichever one you want, always changing and never the same. The main body of time is the central time line which all other time lines branch out from, taking in for every action and making a different result happen.

Lets say you picked an apple from the tree in the main time line and ate it, well in that instant time went and separated into hundreds of directions none at all the same from the other. At times though the central time stream relocates itself to another part, because time is always in motion and no to events happen twice. Of coarse there is times when separate time lines join together as well so to keep the whole thing from getting over crowded. But... what would happen if there was a disturbance in that tree trunk or river that caused damage to the whole system?

Well all time line's that branch off from that point and time lines that would have been created by it would become corrupt and soon the whole system would collapse in on itself casing havoc on a scale so immense that even the goddesses wouldn't be able to fix it on their own. So what do the three goddesses of the triforce do when this happens... well they hire a grounds keeper so to speak. It would be a minor god or something that they would have fix it, but there is one scenario where they can't hire a grounds keeper to fix the time line.

That scenario would be if some entity was to intrude on the main time line that the goddesses maintain themselves for it should never be corrupted. This only happened once on them and it nearly killed all three of the goddesses if it wasn't for them breaking their own rule. That rule is never tap into the forgotten time streams where the goddesses left it's world to the cruelty of the vortex that time is housed in.

When they left that one branch to fend for itself they thought it would perish into the void that was time, but somehow against all odds it survived. But it was very weak and even the slightest disturbance from them would cause it to shatter like glass that was hundreds of years old would if even a signal grain of dust was to touch it. Yet it wasn't that fragile for the inhabitants had grown strong and even though they knew the goddesses weren't looking at them they were still able to go on.

But it was also a good thing that the goddesses didn't bother it for the inhabitants had advanced far beyond what they would allow and as such they had many things like cars, plains, and yes even video games and TV. Though through all of this they still kept magic alive and even though there were a few branches off of it that were quickly distinguished they knew of their past. Of coarse there was a Master Sword in that branch, but even the best of swords can't survive being underwater for a few thousand years. (1)

A team of archeologists rescued it though, but when doing so it broke in two and Ganondorf broke free when they did. Due to drawings of the hero who defeated Ganondorf before a team was able to find the latest incarnation of Link up north in a small town. As such the leader of that Hyrule gave the sword to that boy and he was sent out on a quest to try and reforge the Master Sword. After months of search the boy found a temple to Hylia (2) and even though it was in desperate need of repair he ventured into the deepest point to prey to her.

There he was sent to the ancient forge of the gods where learned that the original god who inhabited the sword Fi (3) had long sense faded away so he was sent on another chase to actually meat the goddess Hylia to get a new power for it. When he finally met her she gave new power to it after a long battle, but it took her life and the sword was not as powerful as it once was. It did gain a new power though and when the wielder wanted it to they could make the blade shine a blinding light or become a shade of the blackest night.

With this new sword in hand the new hero of legend went to battle Ganondorf for his world must to his dislike. During the battle though which took place underground the boy learned that Ganondorf just wanted to be left alone and as such he did just that leaving Ganon to his own fate. But during that battle due to the boy being pure of heart the whole Trifoce was brought together again, and Ganondorf who became much kinder during the thousands of years of being stone let the boy have the wish.

As such the boy did an act of untold bravery and wished that the ancient artifact would never shine again, thus destroying the thing forever in his time line. It was this act of selflessness that attracted the goddesses to the remains of the untouched time line that he resided in. Until then the Three ancient goddesses had thought it was a lost world and never investigate it thinking it didn't exist.

Time passed and the boy returned to back to his regular life, but the new sword he made stayed with him for it would never stay behind and would return to his side after a few minutes. With the blade of Dark Light as he dubbed it by his side he left and started to explore in hopes of finally driving away the last bits of darkness that haunted the night in the far corners the world.

Now the boy walks in a dark forest that was once known as Hyrule Field in his world but has long been forgotten by time. Ruins scattered the forest he was in and every now and than the boy stopped and took out a journal to write down some of the ancient writing that was on some of the rocks.

Meanwhile in the main time stream that was governed by the goddesses Link was riding with princess Zelda who returning from a vacation away from the castle while it was being repaired. "It will be great to get back to castle now that it has been fixed Link." Link just nodded in response wanting to get back to Ordon again and back to his regular duties as a rancher. "You don't talk much do you Link?" Link shook his head wanting something to take the boredom away from him, but it all changed when arrows aplenty fell threw the sky taking out every guard except the horse strangely.

As Link got ready for battle to defend Zelda who was out cold due to hitting her head on the ceiling the other boy with his Dark Light was fending off a group of monsters that had started to attack him. Both him and Link were battling the same monsters at the same time and both of them moved in perfect synch as if they had all their lives. But they were in different time lines of coarse, so they didn't know about each other yet occupied the same space not the same time.

As Link took out a goblin the other boy took out a goblin with the same move and quickly parried an strike from behind. Link did the same and took out another goblin, but the shear amount of monsters was getting to be to much for him. The other boy though was dealing with a small amount and quickly beat them while looking at the base of a tree to see another stone slab with more writing on it. "Well Nador you certainly are getting lucky with finding all these writings. The historians back home will have a field day with all this stuff I gotten."

So with that Nador went and put his sword away before walking over to examine the stone slab tangled in with the roots of the tree. Link though was busy fighting off a few goblins with his Master Sword and never noticed a monster walking up behind him with it's sword drawn ready to strike. Nador just bent down and had finished writing down the inscription when a voice started to came out of nowhere but every at once.

"If you had the chance to go back in time and save someone important would you?" The voice was calm and in a way it was like the wind causing Nador to keep calm and answer it. "I would do it for I was once chosen by Farore the goddess of courage." Another voice came the same way and spoke to him but sounded like water filling him with knowledge of the unworldly event taking place around him. "Than will you take our quest to go and defend the one that had dealt with the Interlopers and saved both worlds that existed in his time?"

Nador kept calm knowing that there was still courage in him, but not knowing where the line was between it and foolishness. "Yes, for I feel that there is nothing left for me here to deal with." Than a third voice spoke to him the same way the other two did, but it sounded like crackling fire making him feel more powerful than before. "Than go and protect us, and the precious time lines that must never be broken!" With that Nador saw his world melt away before his eyes and put away his book to ready his sword just in time to defend a strike from a monster.

The monster wasn't prepared for him and fell backwards with surprise upon seeing Nador come out of nowhere. Link didn't think for the new comer seemed to be helping and continued to fight the monsters that were in front of him. Nador fought alongside Link without ever noticing what who he was fighting with and what they were defending. All the while the horse that was in front of the carriage didn't react to all the fighting and monsters around it. The monsters though were confused when they looked at Link and the new comer for the looked exactly alike, except for their clothing.

It was thanks to this distraction that the two had been able to get the upper hand and were slowly but surely driving the advancing enemy's back. Link was wishing to be able to change into his wolf form, but he knew that there was no way it would happen. He was wounded but he wasn't going to show it until the battle was done, but the amount of monsters was not going down fast enough. Nador kept slashing away finding the monsters to be easy pickings for they were much weaker than the ones he was use to facing.

"This one seems to be quite a fighter Farore." Din watched as Nador effortlessly fought back the advancing wave of monsters and protect Zelda. Farore watched as well more interested in Link for he was holder of her piece of the Triforce. "Yes he is, but the big question is, can he handle what is going to come?" The two goddesses continued to watch as Nayru did the same but in deep though hoping that Zelda the holder of her part of the Triforce was going to survive. "You two are forgetting though, that this Nador Zheitk is the only one who has ever destroyed the Triforce. But I do hope that he is able to, for we have broken two of our own rules by doing this."

The three goddesses knew that it was dangerous to have two incarnations of the same hero in the same time line. It was even more dangerous to use someone from the forgotten time line as they called it for they would have knowledge of events that was yet to happen in the main time line. Even worse the combination of the two would result in a destructive force that could possible create a second forgotten time line.

"Is it wrong for me to feel sorry for the Hylia and Fi of the time line that we took him from." Din watched as the Dark Light slashed threw an enemy in it's regular form while a hesitant Nador resisted the urge to use one of the powers it had. Her sisters felt the same way and no words had to be said between them for they all felt the same way. They saw Link fall and Farore gasped as a monster was about to kill the warrior, but Nador was able to quickly defeat it and drive away the rest of the monsters on his own.

0*0*0Hyrule – Reality0*0*0

Nador breathed heavily as the last of the monsters fled before him for there was barley any of them left, and also due to the fact that he had thrown a boulder twice his size at one of them. Such was the strength of the Hylian from the forgotten time line, and he wasn't afraid of using it. With that Nador quickly picked up the unconscious Link and threw him into the carriage before getting on top of it. With that he pushed the lifeless body of the driver off and made the horse take of before any more monsters could attack them.

(1) For those who don't know what I mean by this the Master sword was stuck in Ganondorf's head in the Wind Waker.

(2) Hylia is the goddes who was put in charge of Hyrule after the three goddesses left it. She also created the Goddess sword which would eventually become the Master Sword.

(3) Fi is the god or goddess who sleeps in the Master Sword and is responsible for choosing the person who would wield it in times of need.
