Between Love and Death
By Patricia Patterson
Introduction: This story is a follow up to a Zelda Role Play that I have always been doing. It is about a girl name Misty, whom she learns that her mother is Nayru the Goddess of Love and Wisdom. It has been over four years and she has grown to be quite a woman, but many things have been happening to her. Too many people are after her. To kill her or to love her, she is trapped between those things. Her best friend, whom she has known for years has stuck by her and guided her. And her one true love who she has known for a short time. May they be together or will the separate forever and die in this story? Read this story and find out the fate of this young girl and her two friends.
To make the description of Misty easy to figure out I will give you her physical description. First off she has long brown hair that goes down to her waist. She has Fangs and Claws though she wasn't born with them. She has one blue eye and one red eye. If you have played the game BloodRayne or Soul Calibur 2 then you should notice some stuff in here that are bits and pieces from those two games. Misty's outfit is the same as Taki's 3rd costume in SC2. By the rating of this story, I say its PG-13 because of the casual swearing, and bloody violence.
Chapter one: The Riddle
It was a warm day out in the Lost Woods. All quiet, peaceful, but not where Misty was. She was deep in the forest where it was dark. No light at all, vampire and demons live in these parts. And they live on fresh meat, human meat to be exact.
"Master, I don't think we should come here anymore. The more we come here, the more the demons here want your flesh," said her sword of Light. Her sword of Light is her main sword, which can become any weapon she desires. Her other weapons are the Sword of Wisdom and Sword of Fear, which are hooked to her wrists (like in BloodRayne the game. See told you!)
"Chill out. I will be fine, if you haven't noticed; I haven't lost a single battle. And I am always careful," Misty said.
"If you say so master," said her sword. She continued to walk, deeper and deeper. Eyes hidden in the shadows, watching her every move. Bones scattered about. Perhaps from their fallen prey. Though this did not make Misty change her mind and turn back. She had very little light and her only light source was from her locket. It shined a golden color, with a small spiritual stone of water in it.
"Master, please can't we just turn back and leave?" asked her sword of Light.
"Once again, the answer is no. I can take care of things on my own," But as she said that, a demon jumped in front of her. Saliva dripped out of its mouth. It bared its sharp fangs and slowly moved towards her. Misty just grinned; she drew her sword of Light and got in a ready position.
"Well well, what a surprise. Didn't think I would ever see you again. Neran" she said with a grin.
"Cocky as usual. Time to get you back for what you have done to me," growled the demon.
"Hmph, wasn't MY fault you lost you one eye because of me," she said innocently.
"Don't push it. Time to die!" shouted the demon.
"Bring it on," The demon let out a roar of fury and charged at her. Misty jumped in the air and slashed him. He let out a cry of pain but then slashed at her with its claws. It ripped her sleeve but she recovered.
"Baquinhizen!" she chanted. Flames covered her sword, she charged at him and slashed him multiple times until he was nothing but ash. The wind blew it away and she spat on the ground.
"What a waste of magic," she said.
"Master, what should we do now?" asked her sword. She withdrew her sword and stood there.
"I don't know, turn back maybe. So far we haven't gotten anywhere," she said.
"That's because you have walked into a maze," echoed a voice.
"That's nice to know, Saya," she said. Behind her a figure had appeared. Her name is Saya. Misty's long time best friend and guide.
"Hehe, didn't take you long to figure out it was me. But I'm disappointed that you didn't notice that I have been following you here," said Saya.
"Well I have to say, you are good at keeping a low profile," Misty said.
"So what are you doing here?" Saya asked.
"Oh just taking a stroll in the Forest," she said.
"Well are you doing any thing other then that?" asked Saya.
"No, why?"
"Because well, I have something really important to tell you. But not here, follow me" she said and she disappeared. Misty teleported to where Saya went. They then both appeared over the Gerundo Falls.
"So what's so important that you wanted to tell me?" Misty asked.
"Well you know the Goddess of Fear right?" asked Saya
"Yeah, we went to her Shrine. That's how I got the sword of Fear," she said
"Well I still can't figure out that riddle. But we do know that she is still pissed because your mother along with the two other goddesses killed her husband and child. Then stripped her of her powers as goddess,"
"Well yeah, but I still don't know why she gave me her sword. I mean shouldn't she be mad at me to? I'm the heir of Nayru here!"
"Yes, well she seems to have forgiven you. But I need to tell you the riddle. Maybe you can figure it out," Saya said.
"Ok," she said.
"But I have to warn you. Now that you have two swords of the goddesses, you will be hunted, but this is all I know from the riddle, we have to go to each of the shrines and collect both the weapons and artifacts. Since you have both items from two shrines, we need to go to the other shrines," Saya said.
"So we have to go to Din and Farore's shrines. Well do you know where they are?" she asked.
"Well..."
"You don't know where the shrines are," she interrupted.
"Now that you put it that way, no. I don't know where the other shrines are," Saya said.
"Great now what?" she asked.
"Well I suggest we go to the temple of Time," Saya said.
"What for?" she asked.
"Just come," she said and disappeared again. Misty sighed and teleported to the temple. When she arrived she saw Saya standing in front of the pedestal. Though the door of time is closed, but that's not why they came here. Misty walked up to her. Her footsteps echoed in the temple.
"So why are we here?" Misty asked again.
"Well we just came here just so people wont hear us. But anyway, you already have you mother's artifact, which are the harp and both the swords from Nayru and Lilac. But you don't have the artifact of Lilac, so we first have to go back to the shrine of the Goddess of Fear," Saya said.
"Alright then. This shouldn't be that hard," she said while cracking her knuckles.
"Umm you remember that chamber I told you about?"
"Yeah what about it?"
"Well we have to go there. And lets just say, its as scary as Hell," Saya said.
"Well it shouldn't be that bad,"
"Trust me, it will be all out hell when we go in that chamber. It will be tough getting there. So don't let your guard down," Saya said.
"Don't worry, lets just go there before I lose my fighting spirit!" she said. They then both teleported once again. Deep in the forest, they were back at the shrine.
"Follow me, and stay close," Saya said. Misty didn't say anything and just followed. The blood was flowing from the fountains. Statues covered in moss and vines. They passed the giant statue of the goddess and walked down a narrow hall behind it. Misty brushed away the cobwebs that got in her way.
"Man..." she began but coughed.
"It's going to get much worse as we move on," Saya said.
"Yay," she said sarcastically. Deeper and deeper they went. They were then in a open area with three tunnels to choose from.
"Which way?" asked Misty.
"You have the sword of Fear, use it to lead us," Saya said. Misty glared at the sword of Fear hooked to her right wrist. Its one red eye was glaring back up at her. The sword then started to glow to where they were suppose to go. Misty then led the way. After walking through that tunnel they were in the chamber. At the end was the artifact.
'Too easy," Misty said.
"Could be a trap though. So be careful," Saya said. Misty walked towards the chest. They didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes following them. Misty grabbed the artifact and showed it to Saya.
"Ah, it's a black dragon jewel. Combined it with you sword of Fear and see what happens," Saya said. Misty nods and the jewel fuses with the sword of Fear. A picture of a small dragon was shown above the red eye.
"Wonder what it will do to my sword," she said. She then turned her head to the side.
"So you hear it too," Saya said.
"Lets get it on," she said, drawing her sword of light. A dozen of vampires came out from hiding.
"Be careful, these are the kinds that wont die from magic, but also don't get hit," said Saya.
"Yeah I know," Misty said. All the vampires growled and hissed, but Saya and Misty just kept their ground. The hoard of vampires lunged at them all at once. Misty lunged at them with full force and slashed them. It had little effect, and with that, they smacked her away. Saya's eyes started to glow and she went and attacked the ones close to her. Misty back flipped to the ground.
"Damn they're strong," she said.
"Keep your guard up Misty!" shouted Saya. Misty charged at them again, her eyes started to glow a blood red color. She slashed one in half and slashed another. Mean while Saya, was getting her blood lust ready. Her vampire wings stretched out and she took flight. She continued to fight. But as she did that, blood flew everywhere. And I mean everywhere. Some of it hit Misty, causing her to glare at Saya a bit. But she just continued to fight; Misty slashed the vampires till they fell. One slashed her, blood dripped from the wound.
"Damn you!" she shouts and she slashed it to bits. More blood dripped form the wound, but it didn't bother her much.
"Misty!" shouted Saya "You have to finish them off quickly!"
"Think I haven't tried that already?" Misty shouts back. So far they wiped out half of them. Only six remained. Misty lunged at the three continued to slash like crazy. One of the vampires slashed away her sword of light. It went flying to the side, she glared at them and took out her sword of wisdom and sword of Fear.
"Ok, now you just pissed me off," Saya said in the distance. Without Misty knowing, her sword of Fear started to glow. The dragon picture on it moved, Misty charged and killed all three in one slash.
"So this is what the artifact does," she said. She withdrew her swords and picked up her sword of Light. She then watched Saya fight. She didn't jump in and help because she knew that Saya could take care of herself. Soon enough Saya did defeat the vampires, and had a little snack herself. She walked over to Misty,
"So, we got the artifact, so lets get a move on it," she said.
"Right," Misty said. The walked out of the chamber and back through the narrow hall. They were then back outside. But were ambushed by more vampires. This time there were more then twelve...
"Damn, they must really want us dead," Misty said; gripping her sword of light.
"Well lets kill them all and get out of here," Saya said; drawing her sword of darkness. All the vampires that were around them, started to attack them all at once. They fought back, but were out numbered.
"Saya, I say we make a break for it while we are still in ONE piece," Misty said while batting back the vampires.
"We could do that, if you want to be hunted by these things forever. These guys won't let us get away that easy," she replied.
"Now you're telling me this?" she asked.
"Less talking, more fighting," Saya said. Misty and Saya both charged at the vampires, Misty however was getting beaten badly. Saya, she was use to getting hurt and killed, so it didn't matter to her. A bunch of vampires ganged up on Misty and slashed from random directions. She soon fell; blood was dripping running out from her wounds.
"MISTY!" cried Saya. Soon enough a figure moving at a fast speed; slashing the vampires as it went. They all fell. And in only a few seconds, all of them fell.
"What the," Saya said. She looked around and saw all of them dead. She ran to Misty,
"Don't die on me girl, you're the only friend I got," she whispered.
"Only friend? What about me?" asked the figure. He stepped out of the shadows. He was garbed in all white, he has long white hair and eyes as green as the sea. He has two swords that form an X on his back, though it covers a symbol that shows he is an element.
"R-Rasheed?"
"Don't tell me you two forgot about me already," he said.
"Yeah right, baka," she said with a laugh. He walked up to them and bent down. He took out a potion and gave to Misty. Soon enough all her wounds were healed. She opened her eyes and looked at them, and gasped.
"Rasheed?" she asked.
"Hey there," he said. Tears ran down her cheeks and she hugged him.
"You're back," she whispered. Rasheed held her tightly in his arms. And whispered in her ear,
"I have been thinking of you every day..."
