Chapter 2

Link got up from the ground and looked around. He saw that all of the equine beings were on the nearby ground. He sighed as he saw that they were all okay. He lifted his gilded blade from the ground and ran towards the castle. Yet, as he attempted to approach the castle, a clear purple barrier appeared and caused him to bounce back. He lifted his sword and brought his sword down, but the barrier knocked the sword out of his hand. He grunted in anger as he slashed away at the barrier. Finally, as he saw that the slashing effects did nothing whatsoever, he stopped. Twilight ran up to him and noticed that he had a stare of anger on his face.

“Ummm, Link? Are you alright?” she asked.

“I’m fine, but I’m afraid I couldn’t help you defeat Nightmare Moon right now. I lost most of my Items in that explosion.” Link said. Twilight smiled.

“Well, it’s true that we couldn’t stop Nightmare Moon and you lost your shield in the process, but I’m glad that you saved us from the face of death.” she said.

“Every day, it feels like I am always fighting a force of evil. My arrival may have had a positive consequence of saving your lives, but I know for sure that my appearance at this time isn’t just a coincidence.” Link said. The rest of the ponies walked up to him. While most had confused expressions, Pinkie Pie had a large grin on her face.

“I had that same feeling since you pulled that sword on Nightmare Moon. But, we’ll have to reconvene back at the Library to form our next plan of action.” Twilight said. Link looked back towards each pony before he nodded.


Back at the Library, Twilight re-read the Guide to the Elements, and a look of frustration was apparent on her face.

“There must be something in this book that I am just not getting!” she shouted. Link walked over to her before he knelt down to see the book. His eyes opened in surprise when he saw the familiar image of the Triforce in the background of the page alongside the creation of the Elements of Harmony.

“Why is there a picture of the Triforce in a book that talks about completely different artifacts?” Link asked. Everypony in the library shot their heads into the air as they heard this sliver of information. Twilight in particular shot up in anger.

“You know about this golden triangle?! Why didn’t you say anything about it before?” she screamed.

“You never asked if I knew anything about it.” Link responded. Twilight sighed as she calmed down. “The Triforce is an almighty instrument created by the departure of three golden goddesses.” Link placed his finger onto the top-most triangle. All the ponies in the library gathered around the book as Link discussed the parts of the Triforce. “This triangle is known as the Triforce of Power. This piece of the Triforce is associated with Din, the goddess of power. It is said that those who possess this piece of the Triforce wield unbelievable power that can change the landscape of the world itself.” Applejack smiled as she heard this.

“With the Triforce of Power, farming sounds like it would be as easy as planting seeds in the garden.” Link then moved his finger to the bottom-left triangle.

“This triangle is known as the Triforce of Wisdom. This piece of the Triforce is associated with Nayru, the goddess of wisdom. With the Triforce of Wisdom, one can gain the understanding of everything and even change the laws of reality itself.” Twilight looked at the triangle with gleaming eyes.

“That sounds like something that all unicorns would want to have! Casting high-level magic would be very easy to do with that power, and being able to change the laws of reality would benefit Equestria’s magic control.” Link finally moved his finger to the bottom-right triangle.

“This final piece of the Triforce is known as the Triforce of Courage. This piece of the Triforce is associated with Farore, the goddess of courage. With this piece of the Triforce, the spirit of the wielder becomes full of life and has an indomitable will. With this piece, nothing can get in the way of the bearer, as they will always succeed in their endeavors.”

“Wait… by always, you really mean always succeed?” Rainbow Dash questioned hopefully.

“That’s right. In fact, I know this from first-hand experience.” Link said.

“Wait, you’ve been in contact with the Triforce? Tell me everything about it!” Twilight happily said.

“Now how can I tell you everything if we didn’t introduce ourselves yet? Maybe along the way, I can tell you about how I was caught in this crazy mess.” Link said slightly nervously. “However, I can tell you that if all three pieces of the Triforce are put together, then the bearer of all three is granted any wish they desire.” Link said. Each pony practically drooled at the sound of ‘any wish they desire.’ “Again, I’ll tell you more about it later. I feel that introductions are more important first.” He said.

“Oh, right. I almost forgot. Well, my name is Twilight Sparkle.” she said introducing herself.

“Howdy, my name is Applejack.” Applejack said with a cross of her foreleg.

“My name is Pinkie Pie! It’s so nice to meet you!” Pinkie Pie enthusiastically said.

“The name’s Rainbow Dash, fastest flyer in all of Equestria.” Rainbow Dash stated proudly.

“Ummm, my name is Fluttershy. Thanks for saving me earlier.” Fluttershy whispered at an audible level.

“The name’s Rarity. Maybe when this is all over, I could make you some new clothes to wear?” Rarity asked. Epona walked nearby Link.

“You know Epona, and my name is Link. From where I came from, I’m known as the Hero of Time.” Link stated.

“Well Link, that’s fine and all, but a title isn’t going to help us with dealing with Nightmare Moon now, will it?” Twilight questioned anxiously.

“Maybe not, but if the Elements are related to the Triforce as the book says, then I do know of a way to find them again.” As Link said this, each pony in the room besides Epona gawked at him as if he had two heads.

“Perhaps you got knocked a bit too hard in the head by that fall. The Elements were destroyed by Nightmare Moon, meaning that they can’t be found because they don’t exist anymore. You still believe you can still find them?” Twilight said in a panic. Link smiled.

“I do, in fact, believe that I can help you find the elements. The book mentions six sages of Harmony, whose souls led to the creation of the Elements of Harmony. If I am right, then the sages should have descendants, which can be tracked down with a fragment of the Triforce. From there, we can find the locations where the Elements are located.” he said.

“Do we even have a piece of the Triforce?” Twilight asked. “This is the first time I’ve even heard of it!” In all of a sudden, the back of Link’s left hand flashed in a golden glow. Three triangles were revealed. While the top and left triangles were dark in color, the triangle on the right shined in a golden light. Twilight looked absolutely stupefied when she saw the glow. “I’m guessing that this is the Triforce of Courage you spoke about?” she asked and Link nodded. “Well, I guess we have one major piece of the equation, but where will we even find the descendants?”

“Well, we should let the Triforce of Courage find that out.” As he said this, Link lifted his left hand in the air in fist form. A radiant light enveloped the entire library.
