The four had a long joruney ahead of them. They were on one side of a large snowy mountain while the sacred realm of the Four Sword rested all the way on the other side. At the top of the mountain Regoul, the Dark Water Dragon, rested. Defeating him would be their goal if they wanted to reach the Realm of the Four Sword. Leo had his Grandmaster Sword. Link had the aid of Valoo. Tetra had her sage powers. Drake had next to nothing. "Link, could you tell us more about that Paradox Cannon you used before? I really want to learn that," Leo asked. "It's actually a dangerous technique, something I'm not sure you are ready to handle yet," Link replied. "But if we have to fight Regoul, wouldn't having two of us being able to use that technique make us stand a better chance?" Leo asked. "For every hero there is a monster. For every good there is evil. For every light there is shadow. Everything is balance and precise. The Paradox Cannon is a balancing technique. Either you blow away your opponent, or you take your own life trying," Link replied.
They took the first path leading up the snowy mountain. "Drake, you seem to know alot about dragons. Why is that?" Tetra asked. "My village was located on an island that was never mapped. This very village held a secret legend called the Legend of the Dragon Lord. His name is Lyod. This is how the Legend goes: In anciant times, there were monsters anywhere accross an ancient kingdom, Hyrule, that was located in a distant place," Drake bgean. "Yet it was really all beneath you the entire time," Leo said. "All evil was contained in a single chest that was sealed by the blade of Picori. One day however, an evil sorcerer broke that seal and released all those monsters contained and thus began a world full of monsters. Do you know this story?" Drake asked Link. "No I do not," Link answered.
"A hero garbed in green defeated that sorcerer and saved the land of Hyrule," Drake continued. "What does that have to do with dragons?" Leo asked. "That mage returned... Through their final battle, he had evolved through transformations and became known as the Wind Mage," Drake added. Link looked up at Drake in response. "Though the mage was defeated, he was not destroyed and thus later returned to defeat the hero. When it seemed that the hero was at fail, a new warrior appeared garbed in armour of dragons. This was Loyd, the Dragon Lord. He aided the hero in battle and together they sealed the mage in the very same blade that sealed all the evil. The mage would remain there for many years," Drake continued. 'This tale sounds familiar, is the blade he referred to the Four Sword?' Link thought.
"Loyd was known accross the land as the Dragon Lord because he was able to tame the strongest dragon and join with it in battle. This dragon was Regoul, the same dragon that guards the top of the mountain. While Loyd was unfused with his dragon, he was weakened. Although skilled in the arts of the battle axe, he could not stand up to a foe that took advantage of his weakness and destroyed him. That was all that my village knew but when I was young, I found the truth..." Drake said. "What truth?" Tetra asked.
"Upon my fishing experience, I found a missing tablet made of stone and written in a language that only my family knew. It said this: Whoever reads this is a descendant of my time and shall learn a truth from history. My name is Lyod and in my battle with Ganardo I was truthfully defeated. This message is being written before the experience because I know what the future would hold. Upon my defeat, I will use a sacred power given to me by the goddesses and release my spirit which I shall bestow upon body. Therefore here is my request. Thou must gather my spirit so I can defeat an evil that will rise a thousand years in the future. Thou enemy's name is Ganondorf," Drake finished.
"Ganondorf... what does that mean?" Leo asked. "I don't know but a few days ago my village, the only village with knowledge of Loyd was demolished just before you three transformed the Great Ocean back to Hyrule," Drake answered. "I understand now, you mistook us for the one who destroyed your village because we were suspicious?" Link asked. "Yes," Drake answered. "In any rate, we have a long way to go before reaching Regoul," Link said.
