[glow=red,10,300]No Turning Back[/glow] [shadow=red,left,300]Prologue[/shadow]It's been almost two years since the incident. My memory has completely returned and life seems normal for now, but I can't help but wonder that something will go wrong, and soon. Until then, though, I'll simply have to take life as it comes. It's worked for me in the past, and I know it will continue to work for me in the future. After all, I'm never going to change, I am who I am. My name is Triest, and no matter what, I will never turn back no matter how life tries to face me! [shadow=red,left,300]Chapter 1[/shadow][shadow=red,left,300]A New Job[/shadow] "Hey, Link! Wake up! Time to eat!" Came a voice from inside a quaint little house. "Yeah, yeah, I'm coming," came a response. The house was located just south of the grand Hyrule Castle. It overlooked a nearby swamp and was but a 15 minute walk away from the nearby villiage of Kakariko. "So, awake yet?" Said a young man, about 17 years of age, wearing a pair of black jeans, and a black t-shirt over an extremely tough armored plate. He wore an overshirt with a black background and white dragon silouettes on it. He wore biker gloves, and had a sword on his right and a projectile weapon he fashioned himself to his left. He leaned in a chair against a table with a smirk on his face. Another warrior lumbered into the room half-asleep. "Barely awake, huh? Things haven't changed much in the month I've been gone!" He cracked. "Shut up, Triest. I'm out of bed, right? That counts," He said. This warrior was about 18 and wore a green tunic, with a large arsenal at his disposal. He keps a sword, shield, and quiver fasened to the back of his tunic. His boots were worn from over use and he wore gauntlets with a gold plate on the top. "Heh, typical, Link. Typical. Hey, we got a letter in the mail today." Said Triest, holding up a piece of paper. "Really? What's it say?" " 'Triest and Link, please come to Hyrule Castle. I have an important mission for the both of you. Signed, Princess Zelda.' Sounds pretty interesting, don't you think?" "Heh, well then, let's go! No since in waiting right? What else is there to do here?" When Triest was about to answer, Link had already left. "Heh. He's got the hots for Zelda," Triest looked down, then walked outside. He assumed Link was already at the castle's doors. After a quick 5 min. walk, Triest ran into Link, waiting impatiently at the castle, arms folded across his chest. "What took you?" I've been waiting here for what seemed like an hour!" Link protested. "Heh. I know how much you wanna see Zelda, but we..." "Hey, get off of that again, man! I told you she's..." Link's voice suddenly trailed off. Triest looked toward the castle's doors, and sure enough, Zelda was walking down through the castle garden. "Hello, boys. How's the morning been?" She said to them. Link couldn't talk, so Triest did the talking for him. "Ehh, it woulda been better if Link didn't oversleep!" "Hey! I told you when to wake me up, Triest!" "And you expected me to do it?" "Oh, man, it was always like this with you!" The argument was soon brought up by Zelda chuckling in the background. Soon, all three of them,were laughing. "Okay, guys. Let's head to the throne room so I can tell you about your new mission," she said. They all headed into the throne room and prepared for the day's activities. The throne room of the castle was one of the most beautiful rooms in the castle. The floor was carpeted with design freaturing different shades of pink, and there was a red carpet leading to the throne with torches on each side. The walls were gold with blue curtains hanging from the cieling, and behind the thrones was a large ornamental shelf displaying two golden swords crossed. "Ok, now then, here's what your mission is for today. There has been a monster terrorizing the citizens of Hyrule, and they want it gone. There is a reward of 300 rupees if you can accomplish this task," Zelda said. Link and Triest gave out a long sigh. Bowed to the princess, then walked out of the castle. As they stopped by their house to gather supplies, Triest started to complain. "Man, why are we always getting stuck with lame duties like monster slaying? I want a real challenge!" Triest complained as he put on a knapsack. "Quit your whining, Triest. We're in a time of peace right now. You should cherish it. They don't come often." "Yeah, you're right, but sometimes, I just want more, ya know?" "I know, man. Come on, let's get this over with and collect out pay." "Ok. Let's do it." The two left their house and headed for the village of Kakariko. When they arrived, a beast known as Mothula was torturing the village. Link smiled and said, "Just another day at the office, huh?" "Yup. Let's hurry up and get to work!" The two unsheathed their swords and prepared for battle.

[shadow=red,left,300]Chapter 2[/shadow] [shadow=red,left,300]That's the Way Life Goes[/shadow]
The Beast known as Mothula looked exactly was it sounded. It was a bug. A very big bug. It was black with one yellow eye and wings that were glowing different shades of green. Link and Triest simply chuckled as it scared around the villagers, who all hid in their houses. Link pulled out his boomerang and used it to clip down the beast's wings while Triest hid in some bushes behind it. After the wings were clipped, Triest charged up behind the beast and slammed his sword right into his back. The monster froze, and Triest pulled the sword out. "Aww, man! I gots the monster's guts on me sword," Triest said jokingly, giving his voice a wierd accent. "Aww, stop your whining, come on, let's go collect our pay," Link said. "Hold up, man. Let's hang around here a little, first. I've got some spare rupees I've been saving." "Are you serious? Triest, you can't always spend our money! You aren't going to win with that! You're only gonna lose!" "Our money? I found this on the floor outside our house, so it's mine. Now then, if you'll pardon me, I'm off to the games!" Triest walked into a nearby house, which was playing a lot of music. "Man. Aw well. I'll just take in the sights I guess." Link looked around as the villagers started coming out of their homes. Kakariko was the most populated location in Hyrule, and for good reason. To the north of the village was a windmill which Link chuckled at when he saw. It was formerly the resting place of the "Bird of the Flute Boy" who carried him places on one of his journeys. The streets were paved with a concrete and it made up most of the village. Some people had gardens growing out in front of their houses. Link walked by a nearby peddler up some stairs, and saw the former hideout of Blind the Thief and the elder, Sahasrahla's house. He chuckled and remembered some good times with the residents there. He headed down to the local bar and treasure game, where Triest was. He headed in through the back door, because that led directly to the treasure game, and he didn't want to have to mess with the drunks. He had done it once before, and it hadn't been pretty. "Hey, Triest! You in here?" He hollered. He saw Triest talking to a young woman about his age. Link walked up to them and asked, "Having fun, loverboy?" Triest looked at the young woman, who smiled, and replied, "Yes. As a matter of fact, I am!" "Sorry to break it up, then," Link said, "But we've got to go and collect our pay." "Already? Come on, man! Jeez. You go. I'm good." Triest held up a bag of rupees. "You're kidding me, right?" "Nope. Just ask my good friend, Kaitlin here," "It's true! I saw him win with my own two eyes!" She replied overenthusiastically. Link put his hands on his head. "Ok, man. Just don't spend it all in one place. I'm heading over to the castle. Let's meet home at around 6:00." "Sounds good, later." Triest gave Link a little salute as he walked through the door, and continued talking to Kaitlin, "So, like I was saying, I went crazy mad with power, and..."
Link slowly headed toward the castle gates. He looked around at the garden to his left and right, then locked his eyes on the door. "Ok, man. You can do this. It's not hard. Just, focus. Think of the positives. Like...Triest isn't here! Yeah, he can't interrupt me! or crack jokes! Man, this'll be sweet. Just me and Zelda!" Link gave a big smile as he thought of this, then shook it off when he knocked on the door. A guard answered, and Link told him where he was going. The guard allowed him to pass, and Link bolted to the throne room. Zelda was looking at the ornamental shelf with great interest, and didn't even hear Link walk up. "Uhh, Zelda?" Link said nervously. She jumped, not knowing he was there. "Oh, Link! Hi! Did you defeat the monster? And where's Triest?" she replied anxiously. "Aw, you know him. He's out partying. And yes, we won. It was a little too easy, though." Link winked at her. She blushed a little, as did he. It was apparant that she liked him as well. Zelda was about the same age as Link, give or take a year or so. She wore a long dress, a light purpleish on top and pink on the bottom, and it ran all the was to her feet. She wore decorations all over. On her shoulders, she had gold plates that connected in the front. She had on long sleeves, thin, but long, and gloves made of the same material. Sewn to the bottom half of her dress was a piece of material that had the symbol of the Royal Family along with other various markings, and upon her head was a tiara made of pure gold with a jewel on the forehead. To Link, it couldn't get any better than that! "So, I guess you would like your pay now, if I'm not mistaken?" She said with a witty tone. "Uh, yeah. That would be nice." Link nervously responded. "Well, I'm afraid you're not going to get it!" Zelda playfully retorted. "Why not?" "Simply put, you haven't earned it!" "Haven't earned it? What do you mean? We beat that monster like it was yesterday's news! And it was today!" "I still don't think you're worthy enough." "But..." Link paused mor a minute and finally noticed the smirk on Zelda's face. Finally, he got it. She wants to ask me out! he excitedly thought. "Okay, Princess, what can I do to prove to you my worth?" He slyly asked. "Oh, I think you know..." She coyly responded. "Ok. I'll be happy to. If you think you can handle it!" "Oh, believe me, I can! Now then, I'm gonna go freshen up. Be right back!" As Zelda headed through one of the curtains toward her room, Link thought to himself, Man, I had better not mess this up. This might be the only chance I get to go out with her. Ok. I need to be calm, cool, and... Link's thoughts were interrupted when Zelda walked back through the door. "So," she put her hands on her hips, "whatdya think?" Link was speechless. This can't be right! I thought we were going out on a date! Not to war! Link's reaction wasn't surprising at all. Zelda came out wearing a pink suit of armor with the Royal Family's Crest on the front. The armor covered her from neck down and she kept a sword holster on her back along with a quiver and Hylian Shield. "Zelda...what's going on..." Link asked, with an extremely confused look on his face. "I thought you wanted to go out with me," Zelda remarked. "Well yeah, but...well, I was thinking maybe a walk through the park or a nice dinner or something like that. I wanted to treat you nicely!" Zelda laughed at this comment. "Look, I appreciate your ideas, but I'm a princess. I get treated like that on a daily basis. So, I figured, 'hey, let's go on an adventure together! And Triest can come along, too!'" Link groaned. "Triest? he's cool and all, but why should he come along?" Zelda chuckled. "Just you wait. I've got something cooked up for him!" Link smiled, and the two walked hand in hand out of the castle. They were both smliling widely as they headed to Kakariko to find Triest.
Triest was living the life. He had met some new friends. Most of them women, who Triest was really happy to meet. He had found out some interesting information, as well, and decided to find Link and see if he wanted to join him on a quest. He was heading by the sanctuary when he saw Link walking toward him holding hands with a young girl about his age. Triest ran up to them and hollered, "Hey, Link! What's up?" As Triest slowed to a stop, Link responded, "Nothin' much. Just taking a walk with my friend here," pointing to Zelda. "Heh, 'friend' huh? I getcha. Nice job, man. She's a hottie!" Triest obviously didn't recognize Zelda . Both Link and Zelda started chuckling. Triest didn't seem to notice, so he started telling them about the quest he heard about. "Ok, I ran into this old man outside of the Treasure Game and he told me about a Waterfall of Wishing, but much more powerful and magical about the one by Zora's Waterfall. It is said to be hidden in a far away land, and I think we should be the ones to find it!" "Cool! That sounds awesome! When do we leave?" Zelda asked anxiously. "Well, first we'll need to resupply, and...wait a second. Who said you were coming, girl?" "Link's bringing me along, right?" She looked at Link, who began to get nervous. "Uhh, well, yeah. I, uh did say that..." "Link! Come on, man! You can't let her get between us! We've got a reputation to uphold! What would people say?" Triest protested. "We might actually get more of a reputation when people find out that Zelda is travelling with us," Link replied, trying not to laugh. Triest had a blank look on his face. He looked like he was trying to put 2 and 2 together by his hand gestures. He double taked at Zelda's armor, more specifically at the Royal Family's crest, then it finally clicked. "Holy...You mean, you and her? Link? ...Zelda? ...She's? ...You're? ...Really?" He said confusingly. The two nodded then smiled at each other. They had been holding hands this whole time. Triest then started congratulating them both, then jumped up out of excitement and hit a low branch on a nearby tree and blacked out. "Man, I thought I was happy!" Link retorted. Zelda just laughed as Link picked Triest up and tossed him over his shoulder, and headed back to their place for some R & R before their adventure.

[shadow=red,left,300]Chapter 3 The Quest Begins[/shadow]
"What? Where am I?" Triest sprung up from his bed to find himself in his room. He wondered what had happened for a second, but soon remembered, and was kind of embarrassed by it. He walked into the main room and was about to greet Link and Zelda, but noticed their eyes were locked together. He quickly his behind the door, and peered around the corner silently whispering to himself, "Come on man. Don't quit now!" The two started at each other for a bit, then Link slowly crept forward, Zelda closed her eyes, and Link started hollering, "Hah! I won! You lose!" "Man You cheated! That's wrong!" Zelda complained. Triest fell anime-style and Link and Zelda went over to him. Triest got up and satmmered out of the building babbling things like, "A staring contest? That's weak." Unbeknownst to him, however, Zelda was giving Link a passionate kiss for winning the staring contest. Ironically, at about that same moment, Triest said to himself, "That guy's not going to get a kiss until he's 20."
After taking about a 20 min. walk, Triest returned to the house to get ready for the trip. Link and Zelda were talking and had already packed for him. "What took you so long?" Link asked rehtorically. "Just...Enjoying the scenery," Triest responded, grabbing his things, "I take it you guys are ready to go?" They all chuckled and headed out on their adventure. "So, Triest, where are we going?" Zelda queried. "To the waterfall of Wishing near Zora's Waterfall," he replied, "It has been said that the two faeries are related." "Sounds good," Link remarked. They traveled past the rocky area east of Hyrule Castle, defeating some of the octoroks there for some fun and money. Octoroks are known to find rupees and other valuables along the ground in Hyrule. They soon reached the witch's place, signaling they were close. The witch lived in a simple hut with one of her assistants, but she was outside most of the time working on new potions. She was outside and usual, and greeted them as they walked by. They reached a river which led them straight to the source of all the waters in Hyrule. Zora's Waterfall. "Ok, this is the source of the rivers and waters in Hyrule, Zora's Waterfall. That waterfall over there is the Waterfall of Wishing, and through those bushes is Zora's Domain," Triest said. "I know. I've been here before," Link remarked. "I was talking to Zelda." "Oh." Zelda was in amazement. The beauty of Zora's Waterfall was amazing. There was a constant rainbow from the water in the air caused by the waterfalls at their level and below them. The small lake nearby poured out into the river they followed up here, and some rocks were blocking the waterfall so visitors could swim freely. To some, Zora's Waterfall has been called, "The last dry land in Hyrule." Ironic because of all the moisture there, but understandable. Zora's Domain is almost completely flooded. The three entered the Waterfall of Wishing, and when they reached the Faerie's Fountain, Link threw in a spare bottle to summon Venus, Queen of Faeries.
"Hello there. Did you drop this?" Venus asked. "Yes, we did, but that is not why we have come. We have a question to ask of you." Triest said. "Ask away," Venus replied. "We have heard news of another faerie fountain more powerful than this one. Is this true?" "You must mean my older sister. Yes, she is more powerful than I. The green one has already met her." "You mean the faerie in the Pyramid?" Link chimed in. "The same. Now that Ganon's power has faded from the Golden Land, however, she returned to her original form and true power." Triest looked at Link who said, "She was powerful even when I met her in her weakened state! Think about it!" "Well, what are we waiting for!" Triest yelled. They thanked Venus who filled Link's bottle with Magic Medicine, and left the cave, but when they left, they heard a strange, gruff, voice say, "Tell me what you know about the Hidden Waterfall!" After Link shouted, "Why should we tell you, a hulking figure jumped from the bushes and simply replied, "I have my ways..."

[shadow=red,left,300]Chapter 4 The Mark[/shadow] "You're ways, huh?" Triest told the creature, "We'll see just how useful those 'ways' are!" The beast stood about twice the size of Link and Triest. It was mainly a brown color with tan markings all over. It was hunched over and its back was made of solid rock. All over it's body were metal plates, probably used for some mild armor, and it's hands were covered with steel plates that were obviously going to be used as weapons. "Triest, shut up. I'd rather not tick this thing off any more than it already is." Link whispered. Then came a battle cry as Zelda leaped over the two and tried so thrust her sword into the beast. Her blade never penetrated the skin. She looked into the beasts glowing red eyes as it lifted her up with intent to slam her into the ground. Link shouted out to the beast, "Hey! Tall, dark and ugly! Put her down and face me like a real man!" "Real, men, Link. I'm here too. Now let's do this!" Triest chimed in. The two charged the monster with full force, but instead of attacking, then split when they were about to reach him with Link running clockwise and Triest running the opposite direction. Almost instinctively, both Link and Triest, while on opposite sides of the beast, ran up him and slashed at his hands. The creature growled in pain, and dropped Zelda, who fell in Triest's arms. Triest put her down, then remarked, "Hey, girl, you're with Link, not me! Jeez, jumping in my arms and stuff, man." They chuckled a little bit, then the three regrouped while the creature was in a daze. "This thing doesn't seem very smart," Zelda noticed. Triest chuckled a little. "What?" Zelda asked. "I'll tell you later," Triest said. "Focus guys. Anyone have a plan? That thing is slow and stupid, but extremely powerful. Any ideas?" Link asked. "Just one. Follow my lead," Triest said with a smirk. Triest ran up behind the creature and yelled, "Surround him!" Link and Zelda each took a different side of the creature. The beast looked straight at Triest with glowing red eyes. Link and Zelda were slashing at it's rock-hard back, but it didn't seem fo faze it. Triest slashed the beast's eyes with his sword. It looked to the sky, howling in pain. "GO!" Triets yelled. He ran up the beast, did a frontflip, and came down sword pointed down. Link and Zelda, took the hint after triest started running up after him. Link pulled off the same move as Triest, and Zelda thrusted her sword into it's neck. The beast gave out a huge cry of pain and hit the ground. The Zelda retrieved her sword from it's neck. triest started bragging in victory, "Well, you know what they say, 'The bigger they are the...'..." "Yeah, yeah. The harder they fall. We've all heard it before," Link interrupted. "Actually, I was gonna say, 'the harder it is to keep your balance when they fall'!" Triest joked. "But here's the stumper," Zelda said, "how did he know about the Hidden Waterfall?" "I'm not sure. Too bad he's dead. We could've questioned him," Triest said. Link went to search the body for any clues. "Hey guys! Check this out!" He hollered. They all huddled around the beast and noticed an odd tattoo on the back of it's neck. After they all got a good look at it, is vanished into this air. "What was that?" Link asked. "Not sure. But I intend to find out," Triest said, heading down the path leading to the witch's house. "What's his problem?" Zelda asked Link. Link didn't respond to her question at all. He started at Triest as he walked off, then told Zelda, "Let's go to the witch's hut. Might as well sleep with a roof over our head if we can," He gave an uneasy smile, and Zelda sensed it. She simply nodded and they started heading back.
"Why? That mark...it's death. Why would it show up now?" Triest was in a small ditch looking at the stars. He lifted up his sleeve and looked at a tattoo on his upper arm. It was the same as the one on the monster from earlier. "This mark. It is a curse. But why it's here, I don't know. It appeared on me after I conquered my dark side on that fateful day over two years ago. I couldn't bear showing it to the others, but I wonder. Why is it here? Why is it on me?" The mark Triest described consisted of four triangles. Almost like the triforce, but 3 of them were upside down and they were connected by a regular triangle in the middle. The color was black as the night sky. Triest stood up and started heading for the "Rock Zone" as he called it east of Hyrule Castle. Zelda caught him as he passed by the hut and asked, "Triest. What's going on?" Triest looked to the sky again, gave a big smile and simply responded, "Nothing at all. I've just got a little more pent up energy, so I'm gonna go take it out on some Octoroks. Hopefully, I'll score some big treasure while I'm there, so wish me luck." Zelda gave him a hug and he dashed off into the night. She heard faint cries in the night as Triest started defeating the Octoroks. Zelda simply said, "Triest. What are you hiding?" She went back inside and laid down next to Link, who was fast asleep. She silently said to herself, "He'll say when he's ready. No since in getting us involved if he doesn't want us."
Link and Zelda awoke the next morning, both wondering where Triest went. They started looking around the hut to find Triest sleeping in the tree nearby! Link started chuckling, the shouted, "HEY TRIEST! WAKE UP!!!" Triest woke up instantly, then fall out of the tree due to surprise. He slowly got up, and remarked to the others, "Yeah, it's easy to get me when I'm sleeping!" They all thanked the witch for letting them stay, then started walking east, towards the Lost Woods, but as they left, all three of them had something on their mind. Why did that mark appear on me? Triest. What did you really do last night? Something is up, and whether he knows it or not, I think Triest has something to do with it.
