Link watched his future ghost-self bounding ahead of him, sleek and swift like the wind, as he soared atop his red feathered bird. There was so much the Hero's Shade could tell him about his future. It gnawed at him. Would it matter if he found out? Any conversation could spill a secret stored in time, and Link was acutely aware of that. Yet at the same time, didn't he travel through time to stop Ganondorf? His chronological journey saved his realm; in fact, he helped a lot of other people along the way that only a time traveler could. Perhaps he should forget about any damage he could do if he knew his future.
Besides, being in the Omniverse already changed his destiny. It may be that Link's time there had already displaced events. The Hero's Shade could teach him the lessons he wished he knew when he was younger. Instead of viewing his presence there as something to be feared, maybe it was time to embrace it. Time stretched over a lifetime to bring his younger and older self together. He would seize the opportunity like he once seized the hilt of the Master Sword.
The portal to the Fountain came into view. Two armoured guards stood by the swirling exit, gripping spears that rested on the cobblestone ground. At the sound of his mount's broad wings they turned in his direction. They obviously didn't see the spirit wolf charging towards them, and a tamed crimson bird large enough to ride on was not out of the ordinary. They nodded to Link as he sped to the portal, and he returned a curt nod back.
"Help! Someone, help!"
Link craned his neck over his shoulder. A small forest nearby blocked the view of the cry.
"Help! Please, if someone can hear me, I need help!"
Link shouted ahead to his ghost-self. "We need to go back for that person!"
The Hero's Shade spoke into his mind. <We must find the Zora first. Restoring the Master Sword is your top priority.>
Link didn't even think before responding. "It can wait." He grasped two handfuls of the bird's red neck feathers and turned it around. It squawked and darted towards the trees. As they approached the forest, Link jumped from the gliding mount and tumbled across the grassy floor, springing up with sword and shield drawn. He pressed forward, searching for the source of the cry.
