~Chapter 3~
.......“Pandora Trefore…” The same mysterious voice said. “You hold an immense amount of courage…”
.......Pandora looked around the floating ghosts and frames that held familiar scenes. “Thank you…” She replied to the voice as she stared down into the deep blue and purple hues of the room. The floor was water except for a small platform which Pandora was standing on.
.......“You have been blessed by me, for this strength of yours…” The mysterious voice continued. “You are destined to save the land from darkness.”
.......Pandora began to question the voice, “Why me? Why me of all people?”
.......The voice turned cold and stale, “Because you were chosen by me.” There was a blinding light and a figure, radiant with a green glow and walking barefoot against the water.
.......Who is this person? Pandora thought as the figure walked closer and closer on the water. Her flowing green hair whipped around as her emerald toned eyes sparkled.
.......The figure smiled genuinely, “Hello Pandora. It’s nice to finally meet face to face.”
.......Pandora was shocked, “Who… who are you?”
.......She giggled, “My name is Farore. I chose you to save the land from the darkness,” She walked closer and closer. “Today, the chosen ones will gather together and will save the town from the monsters.”
.......Pandora wasn’t surprised, “I know, I know.” She said cockily.
Do people have to say the same thing over and over again?
.......Farore didn’t say anything about her rude comment. She only smiled eerily, “Child, when you are chosen by the goddesses, you must receive gifts to help you fight and save the land,” She held out both of her hands. A green orb appeared and started to form a weapon. A gold hilt and cross guard was etched with ancient markings that Pandora couldn’t understand. The silver blade’s metallic sheen reflected a bright shine. Farore grabbed the sword by its hilt in one hand and formed a dark green scabbard, “Take this, Pandora.”
.......Pandora plucked the sword off of her hands and held out the scabbard. She swung it around, imitating Drake whenever he practiced. When she finally got the feel of the sword, she put it away and placed the sword inside the scabbard.
.......Farore began to form another green ball of light. It stretched and expanded into an enormous ball of light, almost covering Farore’s kindhearted face. She pushed the ball lightly and it floated to Pandora, “This ball of light will give you essences of my power.”
.......Pandora could smell earthy and spring-like aroma, but felt a fresh breeze wafting through her body. She felt as if her body became heavy, but could withstand anything. Farore spoke, “I have given you the power to protect anyone you wish to defend and the ability to summon winds.”
.......Pandora replied in a quivering voice, “But… but… how can I?”
.......Farore only smiled, “It will come to you when the time comes, Pandora…” She began to fade away in the sapphire and violet tones, “I will be… looking after you… Panda…”
.......Pandora was bathed again in a blinding green light. She closed her eyes for a few moments and when she opened them, she was back at the horrifying scene of the Castle town citizens being attacked.
.......“Hepl us! Someone! Anyone!”
.......Automatically, Pandora reached for her sword, sitting on her hip,
Sword? How did it get here? She thought as she gripped her sword tighter and tighter making her knuckles ghostly white. Before her thoughts could catch up, she went auto-pilot and began to attack the goblins encircling Princess Erikia.
.......When there was one left (and when Princess Erikia started to frantically realized that she needed a weapon to fight), Pandora pointed her blade at the last filthy creature. Before she could slice its head off, it was shot by an arrow.
.......Where did that arrow come from? Pandora asked herself as she began to search around for the mysterious person who shot the arrow and also hoping to find Drake to make sure he wasn’t being reckless.
.......“I thought you could use some help,” A voice answered her thoughts. She spun around and saw a brown haired guy with tranquil green eyes holding a fancy bow and plain arrows.
.......“Who are you?” Pandora demanded, “And what are you doing here?”
.......The guy replied, “I was here for the Goddess festival, but when those goblins attacked, I was blinded with a blue light and the goddess, Nayru appeared and told me I was her patron or something,” He shrugged, “What about you?”
.......“Same story only with Farore,” She said as she glanced around and noticed that the central area was getting more and more heavy with the enemies, “We better start getting them taken care of or the town’s going to be overrun by them.”
.......He nodded, “By the way, what’s your name? Mine’s Zordo.”
.......“Pandora, but you can call me Panda.” Pandora continued to attack the goblins, making sure they didn’t wound any civilians before she could attack.
.......Once they freed the town center area, the two regrouped.
.......“I’ll take the eastern part and you take the western part of Castle town.” Pandora explained as she sheathed her sword, “I’m also going to try and find the last patron, seeing that there are three goddesses and only two of us.”
.......Zordo nodded and set off to the western area while Pandora started on the eastern. She decided to use her bow and arrow before she got used to a sword and her archery skills would become rusty. She climbed up a building where there was only scattered debris and no enemies to be found and drew and arrow from her beat up quiver.
.......She focused her eyes on a wandering goblin, clueless on where it was supposed to go and not attacking any nearby civilians. She directed her arrow to aim for the goblin’s head and pulled on the string out. She released the arrow. It hit someone that would not forgive her even if she begged and apologized a million times.
.......It hit Drake Markstein.
