Once Aleya and Ghirahim had passed through the gate of time, they were once again inside the temple, but this time, Impa stood before them. With one quick slash of her sword, Aleya had wounded Impa, who was too taken aback to fight back.

Quickly, Ghirahim and Aleya ran out of the temple, transporting to the bottom of the sealed grounds.

Ghirahim lay Zelda on the ground, and then they both looked each other in the eyes, grinning ear to ear. They had finally done it. They finally had the goddess.

Ghirahim grinned and then picked Aleya up by her hips, spinning her around in a circle once, Aleya laughing in pure happiness. Ghirahim set her down gently.

"We've finally done it my dear, I couldn't have done this without you..." He said softly. Though the conversation was cut short, for the hero had arrived at the Sealed grounds.

Ghirahim and Aleya grinned up at him, standing over Zelda's limp and unconscious body. Ghirahim snapped his fingers, and a barrier formed all around the edges of the way down, forcing the hero to have to walk down the spiral way to the bottom.

Ghirahim raised up Zelda so she was off the ground, but still low enough to preform the spell. Ghirahim and Aleya both worked now to complete the spell.

Aleya summoned hundreds of Bokoblins. "Hear me, our hordes! The spell is nearly complete! The demon king returns! Until then, you WILL keep that whelp from interfering with our ritual. I don't care if the whole lot of you get lodged on the end of his blade. You will buy us the time we need. Do not fear him... Fear our wrath if you fail us!" Ghirahim shouted as the Bokoblins ran up the spiral earth walkway.

Ghirahim and Aleya continued to work on the spell, Link fought against the demon hordes, managing not only to make it down to where they were, but managing to do it much too quickly.

"You're far too quick, boy!" Ghirahim said to Link, though both continued working on the spell as they spoke.

"We realize a simple child like you knows nothing of magic, but spells like this take time and a steady hand! Can't you wait quietly like a good boy? HMM?" Aleya said angrily. She really was growing tired of Link's persistent presence.

"You petulant brat... You've pushed us too far. I've waited my whole existence for this! This is my moment! You know what? Fine! If you're so intent on hurrying to your grave, I'll be happy to show you the way!" Ghirahim shouted at Link, creating a barrier around Aleya and Zelda so she could finish the ritual.

"This time, there will be no heroic escape. I was a fool to toy with you and let you walk away with your life before, but I won't make that mistake again." Ghirahim said, now enshrouded with red diamonds, that quickly turned black.

"That, I promise!" He shouted, as he was transformed into his final form. His sword form. Platforms raised up, lifting Link and Ghirahim up into the air.

Ghirahim stepped slowly towards the hero, his body now metallic like Aleya's, a diamond in the middle of his chest much like Aleya's and Fi's as well. White diamonds covered him like tattoos, and his hair now looked very much like the goddess sword spirit, though it was still white.

"If only I'd put you in your place from the very beginning. Show a human a little mercy and the next thing you know, he thinks himself your equal! Given my station, I had to maintain some semblance of dignity, so I let you run with your life... Twice, even. Such a guilty pleasure... But instead of scurrying away like any creature with a basic instinct to survive, you just kept coming back. Again...and again... and again. I've let a mere boy make a fool of me for the last time. You stand before a demon... or should I say, a weapon without mercy!" Ghirahim said, his form momentarily transforming into the blade of the demon king, before going back to his former body.

"For you boy, I've prepared a most appropriate and humiliating death. I even have a pet name for it- I call it the endless plunge! First, I will take my time bludgeoning you, and when I grow bored of it, I will drive you to the edge and deliver a last strike to send you falling to your doom! I'll delight in casting your body into this pit and snuffing out the flame of your life! Your broken body with serve as fine sustenance for the demon king!" He said angrily, grinning demonically.

Ghirahim and Link fought tirelessly, though just as Ghirahim was about to attack Link down on the surface, the marks along the ground began glowing. Ghirahim began laughing, quietly at first, before he began laughing loudly, grinning at Link, who was stumbling slightly, looking down at the glowing marks.

"Oh silly hero... While we fought, Aleya, the dear sweet girl, continued the ritual we started. At last, it's complete! The demon king shall devour the soul of the goddess and resurrect in his full glory!" He shouted.

Zelda began to cry out in pain, her head going from side to side as her soul was extracted from her body. Slowly the center of the mark began to shoot purple shadows out, and the imprisoned rose out, standing in the center.

Ghirahim and Aleya momentarily disappeared from sight. The beast opened its mouth, and Zelda screamed as her soul now shot out from her body, the demon king devouring it. Purple, black and white shadows now formed in a tornado around the entire sealed grounds.

"Don't you see? It's all over! You and your kind have lost! This world and everything in it now belong to darkness! They belong to our master!" Aleya said laughing, both Ghirahim and her diamonds flashing as the demon kings form changed from a beast, to his human body.
Ghirahim saw Demise the same as Aleya, and when he appeared, both Aleya and Ghirahim bowed to him. "Welcome back to us, Master." They said in unison.

Demise grinned, and flexed his hand just once, before raising it up to Ghirahim and Aleya. Both servants fell back, before they were both raised up once again, and from the diamonds in their chests, Demise drew out two halves of his sword, Aleya and Ghirahim laughing with pure happiness as this happened.

The sword now joined together, and flew into Demise's hands. He smirked, before Ghirahim and Aleya were drawn into the sword, both spirits of the sword.

Ghirahim and Aleya flew into the sword, and when Aleya opened her eyes once more, they were in a strange house. "Welcome dearest Aleya, to the sword of our master. Yes i know, it looks so much smaller on the outside, but you see, it's a home to us sword spirits, hence why it is so large. We are the ones that supply the power needed for his sword, and therefor must stay in here at all times when master is fighting. Especially the hero." He said.

Aleya looked around the home, grinning. She couldn't stop smiling, nor could Ghirahim at the pure marvel that they had finally done it. They finally had resurrected the demon king, now all that was left was for Demise to brutally kill the hero.
Ghirahim and Aleya's power was slowly being used up, though would be replenished when the fight was over between Link and Demise.
Ghirahim took Aleya's hand in his, before bringing her up to the master bedroom, laying down on the bed with her, his arms wrapped around her.

"You are so perfect~" He said softly, and Aleya smiled.

"Mmm... talking about yourself again Ghirahim?" She asked, Ghirahim chuckling softly.

"Oh my dear, it seems almost like you were made for me." He said quietly, hugging her close to him, his chin resting atop her head, and soon both were fast asleep in each others arms.

The sword spirits were awoken with a start, they felt the presence of their master fading. Fading away, and the home they were in began to crumble.

Ghirahim held onto Aleya tightly, closing his eyes and transporting the two of them out of the sword, away from the hero, and out of the past, back into the present.

Both fell to their knees on the ground, and their forms changed into their human bodies, seeing as how they were running very low on energy. Soon the very presence of their master completely disappeared, and this made both Ghirahim and Aleya gasp as if in pain, and hold their chests where the diamonds were. "What... is the meaning of this? We did everything! Everything!" Ghirahim said, coughing up a slight amount of blood, Aleya having already collapsed onto the ground.

A sword spirits master was vital to their well being, and if they died, the spirits would feel it, and feel every ounce of pain their master felt whilst dying.

For Ghirahim and Aleya, this was excruciating. They would be fine after a while, but it would take some getting used to for them. Their master would be reincarnated of course, and throughout all history would follow him and serve him.
Ghirahim sat on the ground, his head resting against the upraised piece of earth that led to Groose's canon, petting Aleya's head gently. He was worried sick about her well being, and even though he knew that this was what happened and she would be alright, he was still deathly afraid of losing her.

Days on end passed, when suddenly Zelda and Link exited the sealed temple. When they saw Ghirahim and Aleya, Aleya still passed out cold, their eyes widened and Zelda ran towards them. Though she knew they were the reason that she almost died, and the entire world almost went into destruction and chaos, she wanted to help. It was in her nature.
However, Link shot out his arm and stopped Zelda from going any closer.
"They were the ones that tried to kill you Zel! You can't help them, let them suffer. They deserve it." He said. Ghirahim slowly looked up at the young goddess and hero.

"Please- please you have to... you have to help her! She hasn't... woken up in days.. I don't know.. what to do!" He said desperatly. "Please, I'm at the point of- asking you for help... please I'm begging you, h-help her..." He said.

Zelda looked at both of them, her eyes widening with concern. She pushed past Link, kneeling down to the both of them. She moved her hand over both their bodies, and her triforce glowed on the back of her hand. "Come on... follow me..." She said quietly, leading them into the temple.
Ghirahim picked Aleya up, doing as the goddess said to. They were led into the back room, and Ghirahim gently lay Aleya down on the ground.
Sun shone down on her, and Zelda worked quickly using her magic. Aleya cried out in pain, though still unconscious. Zelda's magic was of the light, and Aleya was from the shadows like Ghirahim.

"Don't hurt her!" Ghirahim shouted, his voice laced with worry and concern.

"I'm sorry... This is the only way that I can heal her. It's going to hurt her, but I need you to calm down. She's going to be fine, she just needs more rest once I finish." Zelda said softly, continuing to use her magic on Aleya.

When Aleya had finally come to, she was still laying in the spot where Zelda had healed her. Her entire head was buzzing and pounding from a headache, but she slowly sat up, hissing in pain.

Zelda's healing had of course stopped any mental damage, but using the light magic she possessed had hurt Aleya since she was of the shadows. Ghirahim realized that she had awoken, and quickly ran into the back room, looking straight at her.

"Aleya... You're awake!" He said, rushing over to her and pulling her into a tight hug. His eyes closed and he gently pet her hair, Aleya hugging him back, though her strength had greatly depleted for the time being.

"Master Demise... He's-"

"Gone. I know, I'm sorry... the blasted hero was too much for him... but I'm not worried about him right now. I'm worried about you. Are you alright? How do you feel? Do you need water? Food? Anything?" He asked, Aleya shaking her head.

"Don't worry... I'm fine... What about you? How are you doing?" She asked quietly.

"I'm much better now that I know you're alright... you've been out for a week... I wasn't sure if you were going to wake up any time soon..." He said quietly.

"We can't stay here... I know how you must be feeling right now, being stuck inside a temple that was built by the goddess, it's weakening us. We can leave right now, the goddess and hero aren't here for the time being. They want us here to keep under observation. But we aren't experiments, and I certainly won't stand for anyone poking and prodding at you, watching you every second." He said, picking her up in his arms before rushing out of the temple.

When the two were outside of their confines, the feeling of fresh air and the warm sun made them both sigh in relief.
Having been stuck in that temple had made them both weak, and this newfound freshness made them both have a small boost of energy.

"Come on, I know where to go." Aleya said, Ghirahim gently setting her down onto her feet. Aleya was still unstable as she walked, so Ghirahim helped support her as she did. Aleya led Ghirahim over to the stone bird statue, and Aleya remembered how the hero had made this bird take them back to the sky.

Aleya took a deep breath. What were people going to say when they saw both Ghirahim and Aleya there? In their homeland? But it was better than nothing.

Since Demise had gone, so had all the demons that had been on the surface, and that included Aleya's family. But nevertheless, Aleya reached her hand out, placing it on the ancient stone. The statue lit up in an orange and gold light, before a wind came from below them, and lifted them up towards the sky.
