(I'm so sorry, the beginning of this story hasn't really been interesting has it? I do know exactly where everything is going but to make it all as long as 20 chapters is alot for this section of the adventure. I'm thinking of new ways to prolong the "Dragon Wars" series but the battle with Regoul will not be at the end of the chapter, I will promise that. There is much more after that.)
Upon climbing the path to the top of the mountain, the four ran into a split round. "Which way do we go?" Tetra asked. "I haven't been here in a while but if I can remeber correctly, the left path is the path to the entrance to the realm," Link said. "So you're going left?" Drake asked. "Yes, if I recall it's this way," Link answered. "Then I'm going right," Drake added as he began his path. "What are you doing? Why are you going in the opposite direction of our goal? And alone?" Leo asked. "Your goal is not the same as my goal. My goal is to find Regoul and make him my new partner, and if I'm not mistaken he his up there to the right," Drake answered and he continued on his path. "One of us should go with him," Link suggested. "I'll go, if things get too out of hand I'll teleport us to you two," Tetra said as she ran after Drake. Link and Leo continued their path to the left.
"Link what exactly is at the realm?" Leo asked. "It is called the Realm of Four Sword and resting there is a powerful weaponry. It may be our best shot at defeating Ganondorf and whoever is working with him," Link answered. "That's right, the sages said that Ganondorf has allies. But I still haven't figured out how Ganondorf and those other creatures have managed to reutrn," Leo said. "I'm been wondering about that myself. What surprises me the most is that they are creatures that specifically come from our past battles and no others. If Ganondorf is behind all this, he is probably sending them after us to remind us of the past to torture us somehow," Link answered. Link stopped in the middle of a larger area.
"Why did we stop here?" Leo asked. "You wanted to learn the Paradox Cannon, right? With just the two of us here, the risk of injuries is minimal," link answered. "You're really going to teach me the technique?" Leo asked. "Yes, but only a certain part. I'm going to teach you how to absorb two elemental energies at once," Link said. "Drake said that his people referred to ice as shadow and water mixed. I'm going to absorb the shadow from ice and the light from us," Link explained. "Do not think of the blade as one sharp object. In the mind's eye split the blade down the center and picture two empty meters," Link explained. As he explained the process, Leo picture the blade and two meters within. "Absorb a little bit of light...(one side of the blade fills a tiny bit up with white aura) absorb a little bit of shadow... (the other side of the blade fills an equal amount of black aura) repeat this proccess until the blade is full," Link explained. "Now you try, but instead of light and shadow, pick your own two elements," Link asked.
Leo focused his blade and pictured two meters within it. He absorbed ice into one side and wind into the other, although in greater amounts than Link absorbed. Leo filled up the wind side too quickly and the energy was released by accident. "That scared me for a second, why didn't it blow up on me?" Leo asked. "The elements don't compliment eachother and are not Paradox Cannon combinable so they do not have a failed Paradox Cannon result. That's why I wanted you to use random elements so you wouldn't get hurt," Link explained. "I see... so if I can master absorbing any two elements at once I can start practicing a real Paradox Cannon?" Leo asked. "Yes, but remember that two elements that WILL work will have a great power to unleash while the attack you had prepared wouldn't do much," Link answered.
Upon practicing, two beings stood at the top of a nearby cliff and watched. "Leo... we have company..." Link said quietly. Leo kept steady his blade and watched. Link went over and fired an arrow at the cliff. Dark Link and Dark Leo emerged and began their ambush with arrows. "We're being ambushed," Link said. 'I can't summon Valoo this far away from our homeland,' Link thought. "I'll try to take care of things here, Leo," Link said as he rushed into battle. He slashed he sword at the two but they were both pretty fast. 'I can't keep this up... I don't have time to power up any element sword attacks either,' Link thought. Link was thrust backwards and landed beside Leo. "They're just too strong..." Link said. Looking up, he could see Leo's blade glowing. "I can do this... I can do this..." Leo said to himself. The glow became steady and single coloured. "Meet my version of a Paradox Cannon! Wind and earth!" Leo called. "Parradox... CANNON!!!" Leo called as he released all the energy that was absorbed in the blade at Dark Link and Dark Leo. Far away, you would be able to see the giant explosion of energy rise from the ground from Leo's attack. The area cleared and both Dark Link and Dark Leo were destroyed. "That... was pretty good..." Leo said before falling to the ground from exhaustion. "That was pretty good..." Link said.
