PALUTENA

I watched as my angels fought against Ganondorf's demons. Bright lights streaked through the darkness; the angels shone like radiant suns against the darkness of the demons, like lightning against the darkest night. Every time an angel would strike at a demon, it would light up the sky in a bright flash. The sound of swords clanging and bows twanging echoed in the unusually empty city. Shouts drowned out cries of pain and Demon Speech sounded rough and wrong in the city of angels.

I stood back, watching the battle from the safety of my temple, though I would like nothing more than to help my angels. Ever since Pit had vanished, fallen from the clouds during the battle, I had become more cautious of what Ganondorf was planning. If he had truly knocked my commander out of the sky, then he would have a more sinister plot than to just take over my temple and the heavens. The only question was what was he really planning?

"My lady, you must call for a retreat. We are losing." My second-in-command, Vyhi, told me, coming up from behind.

"Then call them back." I turned to face him. This should not even be something to think about. If my angels are in pain and dying, staying to fight should not even be an option.

He bowed quickly and left, shouting for a retreat.

I looked back at the battle and closed my eyes. Retreating would do nothing, for Ganondorf would not give up until he got what he wanted. We would have to hide somewhere he would not expect. Somewhere even I would not think twice about going to.

A demon popped up in front of me and I stabbed it in the face. It melted into a pile of black goop when I pulled my sword out. The demons were getting closer to my army, if I made a decision as to where we could hide, I would have to do it now. But where? Where could we go?

It dawned on me.

Hyrule.

It was the only place that Ganondorf wouldn't expect us to go. He would think we would go somewhere else in the heavens.

"My lady, behind you!"

I spun around and sliced through two demons that managed to sneak up on me while I was thinking.

"Thank you, Vyhi. Tell the others to make for Hyrule, we shall hide there." I told him.

"Hyrule? But-."

"Now."

"Yes, my lady."

I'm sorry for not updating yesterday and that this chapter is short, but hopefully you enjoyed it. We're going to try making the chapters longer
