Adrenalin filled Mipha's body as she and Zelda raced back to the Shrine of Ressurection. This was a phenomenon, it was completely unheard of for the dragons to leave their regions, yet here they were converging on Link's location. What did they want with him? Mipha's head was hurting, she was just resurrected and her body wasn't fit for this much work. "Mipha, are you ok?" Zelda yelled as they rode
"Fine, it's just a little painful. I can bear through it."
Zelda gave a look of concern, then turned her focus back to riding. The sky was an ominous grey, Mipha thought it suited the day she had so far. She focused on Farosh, who was flying in a rhythmic pattern over the shrine. She saw the lighting emitting from its body crash down upon the shrine's surrounding area. If Zelda and she were to get anywhere near the shrine, they would be fried. She dug through Epona's saddlebag and found the Thunder Helm. She held it in her hands for a second, almost as a dedication to Urbosa. Zelda turned to say something, but was silenced by the sight of Mipha holding the the helmet. Mipha noticed this. "What? We need to have some protection against Farosh's lightning."
"If that's the case then we are going to need protection from the other two as well."
Zelda pointed above to reveal Dinraal and Naydra "dancing" their way to the shrine. This just made things harder, they had to find something that would protect them from both heat and frost. She dug again in Link's bags, she started to feel bad for invading in on his things, and found a complete fireproof outfit, she figured Zelda could wear two parts and she could wear one. There wasn't anything in the bag that could protect them against Naydra, they would have to do their best to dodge Naydra's defenses.
It had begun to storm, rain had hit Mipha's face hard. It felt like being hit with small rocks. It wasn't that bad until a droplet hit her directly in the eye. "Ow!"
Mipha covered her eye, she felt blood ooze trickle down her face. She opened it, testing her sight, and found her vision was impaired. "Damn it!"
"Mipha, what's the matter?"
"A raindrop hit my right eye and blinded it."
"Are you going to be okay?! That doesn't look good!"
"I'll be fine! We just have to keep going!"
Zelda was worried. She had never seen such a panicked look on Mipha's normally calm face. She knew Mipha would lose an arm if it meant getting to the shrine. There wasn't anything she could say though, Mipha was just like Link, willing to throw reason away if it meant their lover could be happy. Zelda owed both Link and Mipha too much to tell them no, so she reluctantly followed. Dinraal and Naydra had caught up with Farosh and joined in on its dance. Mipha admired the three dragons as they spun around each other, they were a beautiful sight. They circled around each other, as if they were catching up on their lives. Mipha thought it was sweet to see them miss their fellow dragons, they never got to see each other. They were bound to their regions by the goddess, which was why this was an extraordinary sight.
The two began to converge on the shrine, Mipha stopped Zelda so they could put on the goron armor and thunder helm. "We have nothing to keep us safe from Naydra, are you sure you want to do this, Zelda?"
"Of course. I will not let you go there alone!"
Mipha was glad Zelda was coming with her, she had always been a close friend and it felt good to have someone by her side. As they neared the shrine the Thunder helm enveloped the two in a barrier. "Stay close to me! If you leave the barrier, you will be hit for sure."
Zelda closed the gap between her and Mipha and matched her speed. It wasn't long before the first bolt of lightning hit the barrier, it bounced right off and hit the ground beside them, leaving the two unharmed. Then they were met with Dinraal's flames, it was really hot, but the armor kept them from catching fire. As for Naydra, they were dodging spikes of ice flying at them. It was really hard to avoid them, Mipha almost got hit and Zelda's horse was grazed by one. At that moment Zelda had an idea, she took out the Shieka slate and selected the Cryonis rune. Link had told her about how he had to use the rune, to avoid getting hit with the ice pillars Ruta shot at him. She held up the slate and aimed it at an oncoming ice spike, she tapped a hammer icon and the spike was rendered to shards. "Yes! It worked!"
"What? What happened?"
"The Cryonis rune can stop the shards! We just have to get inside!"
Mipha was feeling confident, this was working. They past the temple of time, the horses working hard to maintain their maximum speed. Mipha began to notice the elements the dragons were putting out were starting to die down. Lightning hit the barrier less, the fireballs were limited, and Zelda wasn't having to break as much spikes. When they arrived at the entrance to the shrine, the elements had completely stopped. They looked up at the dragons to see that they had stopped their dance and stood suspended in three lines. Mipha took off the Thunder helmet to get a better view of the dragons. They were just sitting there until Farosh let out a deep moan. Dinraal soon followed with a lighter moan, and Naydra completed the harmony with an even lighter moan. Zelda and Mipha were completely speechless, they sat there in awe. Finally, the dragons finished the harmony sending a shockwave across Hyrule. Mipha and Zelda turned around to see the wave of light barreling from Faron to Lanayru to Eldin. Once to wave reached all four corners of Hyrule it dissipated. Silence took over, Mipha and Zelda had no idea what was happening. Finally, a loud crash broke the silence, as a bright light rushed out of Death Mountain and sped towards their location, the same thing happened with Mount Lanayru and Lake Hylia. Mipha could hardly make out what the source of the light was. The light from Lake Hylia was the first to reach the shrine as it came to a halt above the entrance. It looked like a golden triangle, but it was too hard to make out. The other two balls of light reached the shrine not long after. Mipha was certain those were triangles. "What in the name of Hylia…"
The golden triangles circled around each other before coming together with a loud boom, sending Zelda and Mipha to the ground. Zelda looked up and saw the Triforce in all of its beauty. Her hand began to shine bright with its symbol. This was for real, the Triforce stood before her. "Mipha. Do you know what this is?"
"It's the Triforce I know, but why is it here? Why have the dragons summoned it?"
Zelda turned to the shrine's entrance. "I might have an idea."
Mipha understood what Zelda meant. "No… it couldn't be because of him. Could it?"
"It's my best guess. Why else would it be exactly where he is?"
"If that is the case, then why did the dragons not summon it when Link died 100 years ago?"
"I understand it now. The dragons are the guardians of the Triforce. They ensure its safety. If they were to summon the Triforce during the time of the Calamity, then Ganon would have certainly taken it for himself. Now that he is gone it's a different story. There is no risk of its power falling into the wrong hands."
"Let me get this clear. The dragons have brought the Triforce before us, so that we can resurrect Link?"
"Precisely."
"Why though? Why not summon it when anyone dies? Why specifically Link?"
Zelda grinned. "Because the world still needs the Hero of Hyrule."
Mipha's heart was lifted. "Let's do this! How do we activate it?"
"You just have to request it. Go ahead Mipha. You deserve this."
Mipha smiled and gave Zelda a silent thank you. She stood up tall and began to speak in a bold and commanding voice. "Triforce, I wish for Link to be resurrected."
The Triforce began to shine even brighter than it did before, and a bright beam shot out of it, breaking the rocks covering the shrine and shining bright within. Mipha and Zelda quickly rushed into the shrine to see if their wish had come true. They leapt down the entrance and saw that the healing chamber had been blocked off by rubble from the light crashing in. "NO!" Mipha shouted
She tried to move some of the rocks, but it was futile. Link, if he was alive, was trapped. "Link! If you can hear me, stay calm we will get help!"
Mipha and Zelda started to run out of the shrine, but were stopped when an arrow shot out and stuck in Mipha's arm. "What the hell?!"
They looked up and saw 4 Yiga foot soldiers appear at the entrance. "Well well, look here boys. Two princesses and no guard." The leader sneered
Zelda and Mipha had left their weapons outside. They were surrounded by Yiga. Was this how it was going to end? Two foot soldiers grabbed Mipha and Zelda by their heads and drug them outside. "Hey boss. Can I keep this one for myself?" He gestured to Zelda
"No, you moron. That one is mine. You can have the fish."
The soldier grunted and turned to Mipha. "Guess you'll have to do."
Zelda looked up and saw the dragons and the Triforce had disappeared. "Goddess, help us."
The Yiga bound Zelda and Mipha, and loaded them into a cart. "The new Master is gonna be proud of us." The biggest soldier said
They began to move, but the horses were startled by an explosion. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!"
They all turned to the shrine, which was smoking. "Silas, go check it out."
One of the Yiga grabbed a Demon Carver and went inside the shrine. He had been in there a moment when the leader started to look worried. "Silas! You find anything."
Silence. The leader beckoned the remaining soldiers to follow him and they slowly approached the cave. They stopped at the corner of the entrance, the leader gestured for a soldier to peek around the corner. The soldier slowly stepped in front of the entrance. "All clear bo-
A blue bolt flew toward to soldier, wrapping him in a light. When the light cleared the soldier was gone. Zelda couldn't help but smile. "He's here."
Ok well I've made a liar out of myself, seeing as this chapter's late. My excuse: I don't have one. Again, it's a shorter chapter, but I figured it would have been cooler to end it right there, leaving Link's return for the next chapter. Now I have something interesting, as we all know the story is coming to an end and falling into place, but we have some options on our hands. I do have an idea for a way to continue this story. So, the options are A: I could continue this current story, by adding on to it, B: I could make the idea into a story of its own, or C: I could forget the idea and end everything off with the current story. Review and tell me your thoughts on this, cause, I'm pretty bored this summer and writing for you guys is really fun. Anyweedles, if you like the story don't forget to follow and favorite to keep up with my delayed updates. Opinions on the internet are popular, you should express yours in a delicious review. As always, Have a Nice Day and I love you.
