==== Malcom Hyrule =========================== ( DISCLAIMER!: PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS STORY HAS MASSIIVEEE SPOILERS FOR BREATH OF THE WILD!! IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO SEE SPOILERS- DONT READ THIS- ) After what had seen while an hour, the two came back out from beneath the shrine and back to the outdoors again, where the old man greeted them. "ah...i see you have returned... " He smiled. "yeah....got this...strange new power in the slate...." Ace responded. "Now i can pick up metal with a giant.... uh...magic magnet- " The old man chuckled. "ah..i see you got your first rune.... " Spade nodded. "yep- " "so..." Ace interjected. 'About that paraglider- " "Ah yes....you must complete the other three shrines here in the Plateau first-" "Hey wait! that wasnt the deal! " Ace huffed. "Sorry kiddo....i never said now many treasures you need did i..? " The old man gruffed. Ace's ears fell a bit irritably. "no..." "Exactly.." the old hedgehog replied. "Now...i have one more thing to give you for your journey...." He pulled something off that was hanging off his shoulder and gave it to him. " ...? " Ace tinted his head. "A warm coat..?? " He smiled. "Yes.. you will need it... " Spade hopped back to his feet. "Now come on! i know where all the shrines are! i can lead you! " His wolf tail wagged. Ace let a nervous smile slip. "alright....lead the was, Spade... " a few days had passed, the two journeyed to the highest mountain on the plateau , covered in ice cold snow and freezing waters, to a cliff side where one of the shrines resides, and the last one behind a ruined training grounds. They found themselves just leaving the final shrine, when they both heard a familiar gruff voice call out to them, and the old man glided down to where they stood. Ace panted, seeming out of breath. "OkAy.....we went to the freezing cold mountain, i ClImEd a ClIfF- and i had to run from those..... DecAyInG RoBoT..MoNstErS- to get these....magic orb things- and talk to dead magic monks- DiD i dO EnOuGh????" The old man chucked at him and smiled in a warm sense "You did great....now....there is only one more step.....you remember that temple way up there correct..? " Ace stood up straight and looked out into the distance. "Spade told me it was called the Temple of Time....the one in ruins..?? " "Sadly....yes.....that one.....meet me there..." as the old man's voice started to trail off, his body seemed to fade away with it. "There is where everything will be revealed... " "WaIt- hHH....how does he do that?! " Spade wheezed and started to trot off. "i promise...everything will make sense soon.... come on! lets hurry so we can get off this delicate place!" he smiles and ran off towards the temple. "SpAde! uhg..." The silver hedgehog sighed and Ran after his wolf friend. "UhG..." After what seemed like ages, Ace pulled himself up the latter to get to the roof of the ruined temple, pulling himself up to the top. "WheRe aRE wE GoINg???" he huffed, upset. "over here! " Spade ran across the roof and jumped up into a separate roofed off section that was on top of the roof, where the old man stood there waiting" "Ah...there you two are.... " Ace stopped in front of him and sighed. "WhAt...iS tHiS aLL AboUT?! " He chuckled again and smiled. "You will get your explanation....its time for me to show you who i really am..... " after he finished his words, a bright light filled the small balcony and after it had faded, the old man stood, but no longer in his raggedy old clothes and hood that hid his face, but instead a crown upon his head, and regal blue and white clothes, the style suited for a king, Ace was finally able to see his face, he had these firey orange eyes, and red long quills, his skin a dark tone of grey and covered in burn scars. " ..My real Name....is Malcom Hyrule...i was...the last Ruler of Hyrule...." Ace's eyes lit up in shock and he stood up straight, facing Malcom in a stiff stare. "told ya- " Spade replied with a smirk. ===========================================
