Fan Fiction ❯ Dragman ❯ Chapter 3 ( Chapter 3 )

Again, I do not own anything that may have to do with the Legend of Zelda franchise. Nintendo is the one that owns it.

"Half dragon!" Link yelled in surprised.

"Yep, like I said, half dragon type people are rare to find in these parts. Though yours seems to be unnatural, what happened?"

"It's a long story, plus it's none of your concerns." Link closed his eyes.

"I see, you know, you look great with that tunic on, it fits you perfectly." Said the old lady smiling, expecting him to explode with rage. Link knew where this was going so he played along.

"Thanks, it does, doesn't it?" He paused for a minute and opened his eyes again staring at the old lady very concerned. "Are you sure I'm half dragon?"

"I'm positive, you got the eyes, the claws, and the teeth."

"Well, I think I'm not…"

"Why is that?" She now had a concerned look.

"Well, it's just that last night, I changed to some beast when I gazed up at the moon." The old lady now stared in amazement at him. "…What, is that bad?"

"Oh no, it's just that I have never heard of such a thing, you turned into a beast when gazed at the moon?"

"Yes…"

"Hmm… Then that means you really are not an ordinary half dragon. Do you remember what features you had when you were this beast?" Link nodded.

"Yeah, I remember having scaly skin like you would see on a snake or something and it was all black, but it shined as if it were armor. I had wings that were black and shiny too. I also had a tail. My hands only had four fingers instead of five and my foot only had three fingers instead of five. My mouth was in a weird position, my view was more larger than before, I had a longer neck, and… that's about it."

"…So, that means you changed into a dragon by looking at the moon?"

"Dragon? I was a dragon? But you just said I was half dragon. How could I be a dragon if I'm half dragon like you just said?"

"Did you happen to come across a yellow jewel in a shrine not to far off?" She said not listening what Link just said. She looked at Link looking very concerned.

"Yeah, I did." She closed her eyes and lowered he head away from Link's face.

"Oh, you poor thing."

"Yeah, I know that the jewel made me change." Link said sounding like he just answered the questioned she was about to ask.

"No, it's not that. You see, that jewel. It contains… an evil dragon spirit."

"An evil dragon spirit?" Link repeated.

"Yes, but…" She opened her eyes again. "As I can see, you don't seem evil of any way. Tell me, are you a pure of heart?"

"I… I don't know…"

"You must be, if didn't attack me on first site, then you must be pure of heart." The old lady paused for a moment. "Now if you would, can you please lay down and not move?" She asked.

"What are you going to do?"

"Just do it." Link then lay downed on the ground, not knowing what she was doing.

"Close your eyes now." She said putted her hands above Link's chest area. Link closed his eyes like she said. One of the spots on Link's chest began to glow, the old lady looked closely at it and concentrated on what it was. What she saw was a yellow jewel full of evil near the heart trying to get in it and turn Link evil as she said, but it can't as she can see a barrier around the heart. "Never have I seen a force that strong, and it's blocking the evil from the jewel from even entering". She then stopped of what she was doing, and the glowing part vanished. "All right, you can get up now." Link opened his eyes and sat up.

"All right, what did you do?" Link asked.

"All I did was just look inside of you." She responded back.

"…And?"

"And I found out that the jewel is inside of you." There was silence for a moment.

"WHAT!!!" Link yelled out loud in shock. "How, it's impossible!"

"Oh, it's quite possible. The jewel can pierce through anybody and change them into evil beasts by the spirit inside the jewel."

"And I'm supposed to be this evil beast now?"

"You were supposed to, but since you're pure of heart, the jewel can't take control of you." There was silence again for minute. "I never got the chance to ask you, but what is your name?"

"My name is Link, what's yours lady?"

"…Nancy."

"All right Nancy, do you know how to get this jewel out of me?"

"Yes, I do. But it's at the other side of this land."

"Oh, I didn't ask before, but does this land have a name?"

"Yeah, this land is named Dragman."

"Dragman? That's a funny name for a land."

"The reason why it's called that is because this land is inhabited by dragons and human. You see if you put them together, they morph to make the name of this land. Now don't think we and the dragons are the ones who only live in this land, there are also half human, half dragon type creatures here, but your barley going to see them in these parts. As for the dragons, you're not going to see them at all in these parts since there is heavy security that blocks them off around here."

"I see… Well, I have to be going now, thanks for the info." Link got up and headed towards the entrance.

"Wait!" Link stopped and looked back.

"What?"

"I want to come with you."

"…Aren't you a little bit old for coming with me?"

"Heh, I'm not as old as you see right now." Nancy said smiling. She putted her arms away from each other and she closed her eyes mumbling something. She began to glow like a star would gaze down at the earth. It was too bright for Link to handle so he shielded himself with his arm. After about 10 seconds, the light faded. Link looked at what had happen. Expecting to see the old lady, he was about to say something sarcastic. But what he saw was not the old lady, no, what he saw was a young women wearing a white robe around her and had a triforce symbol at the chest area.

"You're… You're part of the royal family?" Link said amazed by what he is seeing.

"Yes, I am. Sorry to hide it from you. I didn't notice that you were the legendary hero from the ruins of Hyrule." She paused for a minute. "I sensed a great evil among this island yesterday, it must be Ganon isn't it?"

"Yeah, it is. He took the blade I had that is said to destroy any evil being. The weird thing is that I saw him turn to stone and that the gods sealed him in Hyrule. The other weird thing is that it seemed that he knew about the jewel that is inside of me right now."

"Yeah, that is weird…"

"He tricked me of letting me grab that jewel. He was probably planning on making me evil like you said."

"Yeah, probably…" There was silence again until Link said something.

"I've decided that you come along with me." He turned towards the door again. "Shall we go, or do you need some items to come along?"

"No, we can go right now." She got up and walked out with Link.

When the got out of the hut, they noticed that it was sunset.

"Wow, we've been talking for that long?" Link asked himself.

"I guess so." Nancy responded. They both gazed at the sun that was setting where the water is making it shine like Link seen yesterday. His eyes shined with the water, those red eyes of his. "Come on then, if we are going to get you cured, then we must go, it's going to be a long journey."

"I know, just don't forget we are on another mission, to stop Ganon from whatever he has planned to do."

"Yeah, I know."

They both began walking away from the town that just seemed to be calling out to them to stay. Link began to think about what happened to Tetra and her crew. They must be having a good time away from here, he can just imagine now.

This was going to be longer, but then I saw that I could use the other part on the next chapter. All right, you know the drill. Please be honest when you send your review and please if you want, give me things that I need to fix in this chapter or later ones. Also, give me some names that I can use to some characters that I happen to feel needs a name. Well, ta ta! I'm off to make the fourth chapter.
