I dropped to my knees when shining the light back on Regret, a piece of the Triforce with the strongest aura I had ever felt, chained on the wall like a prisoner while wearing nothing but rags to hardly cover anything on his body. He was all scratched up and his left eye was closed, covered in blood with his other glowing and dull brown eye stared into my soul

"L-Link..?" He looked up a little

"Avelina..." I placed the ball of light to stay in the air and leaned in to hold the bars, which weren't even locked... I threw it open and hurried to face him on the floor

"Link... I mean... Regret..?" He stared at me. I shakily lifted my hand to hold his cold cheek. My vision consist of many different moments of his view point looking at different versions of myself.

In one vision, he was staring at me staring at him with my hair swaying through the air of the forest while holding my scythe... That actually looked pink. Normally it's just white

Another vision was of Zelda and I in the dress she wears in Minish cap, giggling together before looking over at who I knew was Link and pointed at him, laughing. Zelda was holding a bowl of smashed berries, seeming like we just made a joke before a beak of some sorts poked his nose

The last vision... Consist of staring from the sky at a island. The flyer was riding on a red Loftwing. Link looked over at the island, seeing a girl petting a pure white Loftwing... Her hair was as blue as mine but the ends of her hair were gold... Like it was when I remember it glowing when using my powers. Her eyes were a dull blue color, staring at the flyer come down towards her

I moved my hand from Regret's cheek, staring at him confused "what was that..?" His head dropped to look back down at his lap like he was exhausted

"I... Am the memory of hero's past... Not only did I take part of the Triforce of courage, but I took the regret his heart naturally creates. For every life the hero lives, I remember..."

"You're... His memory?" He nodded. I flicked the chains with my light to remove them from his wrist, letting them drop like there wasn't any feel in them

"The memories he can never remember... Is locked within his soul. Every one of those memories... Were shared with you" my eyes widened

"W-what..?" That time I sang the ballad of the goddess in Zora's domain, I saw things that looked like memories, but I didn't know what it was so I didn't bother thinking too hard about it. His memories were like my visions but the other way around in his view point

"There is a thing about past lives" Jasmine pointed out

"Well yeah... But... The memories I just saw, did we really know each other in the other lives? And..." I thought about the scythe "even at that time... I had magic and that scythe" great... So I had this struggle of not knowing myself even in past lives "aside of that... What happened to you? Why do you look like someone was torturing you?" His hands turned to fist

"The pieces take in many images... I happen to look like this" I sighed in relief, which made him look at me "actually... This is how I lived when I was chosen by the goddesses..." I flinched "I was Hyrule's hero... But I got locked up because I was framed by a man named Dagianis, he framed me for a crime I never committed. The demon king was creating war, and I was allowed to see the light of day for the first time since becoming imprisoned. My people told me they didn't need a hero... Now they wanted me to fight. Even if they knew my sword was broken and I couldn't run... The misunderstanding was resolved... My premonition of danger was true, but they never believed me until it happened. They fixed my sword and I fought... For my beautiful land"

"I know this story..." I cupped my hands "I had read it before in my... Hyrule historia back in the fake world" I told Jasmine

"I'd figure you'd know this story..." Regret said "the time I met you... Was the most incredible thing I could had ever remembered"

"Wait... What was I doing in that time era..?" For someone like me to be part of such a dark time era, it's strange how I was even part of his memory if he went straight to war after talking to the goddess Hylia and the red Skyloft, or how the story went. Hylia was the one who gave him the goddess sword and he send the people of the land of Hylia to the sky "tell me what you know"

He stared at me deep in the eyes "as I fought... I've gotten wounded when defeating the demon king... I couldn't keep the promise to the red loftwing... The three dragons blessed us and purred the goddess sword to the master sword temporarily. I rescued Hylia's children... But I remained on this earth. At my last moments, after Hylia left me, someone was walking towards me. I looked up to see a woman with blue hair that could almost touch the ground and was also as gold as the Triforce" huh? "She was surrounded by three lights, red, blue, and green, and was holding a pink scythe. Her black dress was colored in blood... Her eyes were wide when staring at me. I had never met her before, or so I thought... her words to me sunk in my soul for the rest of my life"

"What she say..?" He shakily held my hand

"Your soul will from now on be named as the chosen one of the goddesses... You've been chosen by them. Hylia took notice in you when I have. I know this now' she smiled for me 'I have watched you from afar... For years I had waited for the day when you'd be released from prison. I've waited' she came closer to me to hold my cold hand 'I've waited for so long to see you... You fought bravely... Your death will not be in vain. We will meet again in a new life' I watched her using her scythe to the sky as my body gave out and all I could see was darkness. Her last words were 'I'll be waiting"

"That's all she said?" he chuckled

"She didn't have to say that much. I recognized her as someone who fed me while I was locked up. She'd never showed her face to me, but she was special... I didn't know what her few words meant, but that day was my first time seeing her face. She was the only woman who cared for me besides my mother. There was something within her I never understood... And when I saw her in the empty battle field my army fought for 7 days and 7 nights... I knew by looking into her eyes, she was going to be someone I swore to protect" he held his head

"My goodness..."

"I had asked her who she was... But she didn't seem to want to answer the question"

I was silent. He squint his eyes "Somewhere in my heart... I knew it was you. You are my guide" he struggled to remember something "I can't... There's something I'm trying to remember, but can't" I took both his hands and put them between mine so I can close my eyes and focus... Like the goddess of time wanted me to do

A vision appeared in my mind. I was staring at Link from a crowd of people as he spoke to the people about the war from the top of a castle. I looked down and left before he could finish. I went home and stared at my books I actually had in my home in Kakariko.

"Time... Is cruel" I released Regret's hands and looked back at him. Was I really the one he spoke of being in that field and the one that fed him? It's hard to believe it was me, but he was sure it was me. Again... My life seems to love putting more mysteries in it. I seem to know something, but I seem to be a innocent by stander who somehow has magic and didn't do anything about anything! I wish I knew more... This is really killing me. I want to throw up, and I'm not sure if it's because it still smells like corpse in here

"It's time to go back Regret. It's time to make Link complete" I opened my hands to make him into a light. He starred at his lap, slowly glowing

"Avelina..."

"Why do you call me that?"

"You... Told me that it was your name in prison" I frowned "Avelina... A name my soul will never forget" his face looked in pain "why..? Why do you keep leaving..? I regret... Never becoming good enough for you to stay" my eyes widened before he turned to a complete light and became a piece of the Triforce in my hands. My body was shaking

"I... Left him?" I looked at Jasmine frowning at me "Jasmine... You and the other lights always know something I don't. Please, please tell me" she looked away

"Your soul already knows... We are part of your soul, of course we know... But it's not time for you to remember this. You know you can't stay here when you guide Link to Ganondorf's castle... You'll travel back to the child era and..." I cupped my chin

"And guide him through the Majora's mask event" she smiled that I remembered. The goddess of time told me I had to return to the child era and go through the new destiny, but I wonder what's going to happen after that? Will I know myself by then? "I feel dizzy..." There's so much going on in my mind that I'm starting to get anxiety

"I'll take you back to your room. We've been here for too long" I nodded and took her hand to follow her back to the secret room Link and I were given. Link...

I ran into the room and saw Link sleeping on the bed with his mouth wide open with drool coming out and his hair was wet. I sighed in relief and sat on the edge of the bed to brush off the water dripping on his forehead

"Bad timing... I wish you were awake right now" I looked down, watching my tears fall on the mattress "I don't know what to do. My heart is hurting everyday... I don't know if I can take anymore pain... I have to know my answers. I'm tired, I'm so tired... Time really is cruel... You had to suffer as well, Link" I held his cheek. His hand slowly came up to hold it, surprising me before he opening his eyes "Link..."

"Hey... Come here" he pulled me to give me a hug on the bed like we did when we were kids and sharing a bed in Kokiri village and such. I relaxed in his arms, but I still cried on his shoulder "it's okay, I got you... Don't worry about me, okay? Whatever you're feeling, we can get through it together" I nodded "let's go to sleep, we haven't had it properly in forever" I lifted my closed hand that held the piece of regret and placed it in his chest. He flinched and held his heart in pain

"Link? What's wrong?" He groaned in relief and relaxed again, holding me back in his arms

"Nothing... Nothing... Time to sleep" I sighed and nodding, placing my head on his chest and fell asleep. dreaming about me spending time on a island and staring at the beautiful city of Skyloft... I wish I remember those lives I lived with Link and even Zelda. I wonder if I was his guide through those times too. Sigh...

The next morning, I decided to spend time alone in front of the fortress, kicking my feet against the crate I was sitting on. I played my ocarina, playing the song that I usually hear when entering Gerudo valley on the OOT game. I went through the Gerudo training ground to obtain the ice arrow for Link. I'm now here trying to relax

I thought back about yesterday, which isn't a good idea, but skipping to every little thing that made me want to cry, I remembered the time when I focused real hard and saw myself walking to my home... Those books are the same ones in my home right now! I wasn't seeing the vision for that long, but I could tell!

Thinking really hard about my books, I waved my hand around to make at least one of them appear. I got a hard cover of what looked like a textbook that talks about flying a Loftwing... Okay, how long ago was the Skyward sword era? This book looked new. It also had the ability to survive a fire

Looking into the book, there were tons of diagrams of how big the bird was and how to control it and all these little details. I feel like I know this... But then again, I already lived in that era apparently

"What's that?" I looked over my shoulder to see Link looking over it at my book. I flinched and blushed at how close we were and shut the book before making it disappear

"Nothing!" I jumped off the crate and looked at his green tunic. His green tunic developed over the years. I always wondered how he gone from a simple tunic as a kid to a tunic with pants and a shirt underneath that fits while he was asleep in the sacred realm. Zelda logic "so! Are you ready to head to the haunted mansion?" I looked around "where's Navi?"

"Huh? I thought she was with you" we stared at each other before storming back into the fortress "where could she have gone?!"

"I didn't even notice she wasn't in the room when I came back last night! I taught she was asleep by your belt or something!" We went into the room we slept in last night and searched, but she was nowhere around

"Where is she..?" This is starting to freak me out. How did I not notice her constant talking?

"How long was she even missing?"

"She was in the room before you left. She said she was going to follow you to the bath-"

"Wait what?" I stopped him "she followed me? I didn't know that"

"You didn't? She didn't even let you know she was with you?" I shook my head "that's weird... Since she's always talking. Well where did you go last night? I fell asleep last night because you took so long to come back. The Gerudo who brought me to take a bath told me you were with Jasmine, so I thought you were okay... I thought Navi was with you the whole time!" Oh no... Navi, where have you gone? I know she's annoying at times but she's still a sweet and cute little fairy! It's too soon for her to disappear! The events of Majora's mask is too far from now! And even I don't know what happened to her then!

"I went to take a bath... Then went to the top of the fortress at the secret room"

"The forbidden place? You went up there? What was up there?"

"One of your pieces..." He thought for a moment

"She might be there... There's a possibility but it won't hurt to try" I nodded and showed him the way to the very top of the fortress. The door was still open. It was dark as we saw it last night, only that there was small light coming from the ground of a small body sitting in front of the cellar

I walked up to her and kneeled down "Navi? What are you doing here?" She turned around to show me her dark eyes filled with tears. She looked like she never slept a wink "what's wrong..?" I held her in my hands and stood up for Link to look at her, but she turned away from him. Not wanting him looking at her. Navi...

"I was there... I heard everything" my eyes widened "those stories and stuff" she hugged her legs closely

"But I don't understand why you stayed here and didn't sleep" her cheeks grew pink. O-oh... "Just sleep, we're going to travel through the haunted wasteland, so we don't need to loose you again" she nodded as Link took her in his hand before placing her on his chest for a small hug. She cried on him before flying to stay in his hat. If she was there when I was talking to Regret... Seeing him must've horrified her. The time when Dark Link killed Link, she was getting covered in his blood to cover his wound, even if she was so small... Poor Navi. And to barely notice now that she... Has feelings for him

Regret is one of my favorite pieces really, mainly because he's part of Link's past memories! I can make a list of who is my favorite like form my top five

1. curiosity
2. Regret
3. Pride
4. Affection
5. Devotion

Surprise that love isn't in there but I really do wish I can give more background stories for all of them! These are pretty much the only ones that have the most stories. Let me know who are your top favorite pieces! Bye bye!
