Chapter 10

"Are you sure you go?" Yeto asked as he followed his three guests to the door.

"Yes Yeto, we don't want to endanger you two by sating here." Link said "Oh and sorry for the mess."

"Not your fault." Yeto said reassuringly as he walked his guess's out side of the large ruins.

"Thanks; for all you've done for us." Link said holding out his hand.

"No thank you!" Yeto exclaimed as he clutched Link's hand with such a grip that hero nearly fell on his knees.

When Yeto released Link he immediately cupped his crushed hand to sooth the pain.

"Are you ready?" Midna asked taping her foot impatiently.

"Yea, let's go." Link said as he walked towards Midna who was standing by the steps.

"Go were?" Nik asked.

"The sacred grove." Link said still holding his throbbing hand.

"Are we…warping?" Nik asked with a gulp.

"It's all the way in Faron woods." Midna said. "If you want to walk; go ahead."

"Fine I will!" Nik said as he started walking down the steps.

Midna shook her head as she snapped her fingers; starting the warping process with Nik still walking.

Moments later the three companions appeared in Faron woods, Nik was on the ground holding his face because he walked into a tree.

"You're supposed to save us from Zant?!" Midna asked with her hands on her hips staring at the boy on the ground.

Nik mumble something that would have been rude; but was unable to be heard because his hands covered his mouth.

Mean wile Link was in a panic wondering why they were not at the sacred grove.

"Midna why are we here?"

"What?" Midna said looking at her surroundings "Link! we are in Faron Woods!"

Link just stared at the confused Twili woman.

"Yes I know, but why?!" Link asked.

"I don't know; let me try again." Midna said as she warped her self; only to appear moments later in the same spot.

"It's like something blocking me!" Midna exclaimed.

"What?" Link asked.

"I can't warp there!"

"How!" Link argued

"I don't know!" Midna snapped back.

"Hey! If it's near here why don't we just walk there?" Nik asked as got up from the ground still rubbing the brim of his sore nose.

Link and Midna exchanged looks and felt a hint of stupidity that they did not have the idea themselves.

"So…..Link why are we going to were we are going?" Nik asked as he followed his brother through the woods.

"It's called the scared grove and I don't think Zant or his minions can get there." Link replied as he navigated throw the trees.

"Why can't they?"

"You'll see." Link said with a slight smile.

For the rest of trip Nik was quite until they reached the Forest Temple.

"Whoa!" Nik said in amazement.

"That's not it." Midna remarked

"Oh…well are we almost there?"

"Uh sort of." Link said as he walked on the stump that loomed over the endless gorge.

Nik followed his brother till he was standing next to him.

"We have to cross that?!" Nik asked as he peered down in the void of endless fog.

"Were going to have to if we can't warp." Midna said as she walked up behind them.

"How?"

Midna did not reply to Niks question she only pulled out the dark crystal and pressed it to Links forehead.

Nik watched in amazement as his brother went from a Hylian to a wolf.

"What was that for?!"

"Nik would you just shut up and watch!" Midna said as Link leapt from the stump to a root then to another until he was out of sight.

Nik was for many minutes dumfounded as he had just seen his brother jump throw the air like a monkey.

"Okay, how are we going to get over there?!" Nik asked snootily.

Midna only sighed as she grabbed Niks arm and she began to float in the air pulling Nik with her.

Midna slowly floated toward Link wile try not to drop a fidgeting Nik.

"Midna Please don't let go!" Nik cried as he stared into the void.

"Well stop fidgeting!" She muttered as she neared her destination.

Midna let go of Nik letting him fall to the ground were a wolf was patiently sitting.

Midna gently floated down wile using the dark crystal to transform Link into his true from.

"You alright?" Link asked as he saw his brother uncontrollably shaking on the ground.

"Me? I'm fine. I was just floated over an endless pit!" Nik said still trembling.

"Well were going to have to do it again." Midna said with a sigh.

Nik did not have time to argue before Midna grabbed both him and his brother a floated across the second gorge to the entrance of the sacred grove.

Midna set the two swordsmen down wile sat down her self trying to catch her breath.

"You two are heavy!" She let out in a huff.

"Are you okay?" Link asked as he knelt next to the twilight Queen.

Midna did not respond but only gazed into the two blue orbs that served as his eyes.

"Uh Midna?" Link asked snapping her out from her trance.

"Oh…uh…sorry; I'm fine." She said trying to hide a blush as Link helped her up.

"Its Okay." Link said quietly as he kissed her on the cheek.

"Oh please!" Nik gagged wile walking toward the tunnel that led to the grove.

But Nik did not walk through but instead was on the ground with his hands over his face again.

"What happened now?!" Link asked wile Midna silently chuckled.

"I don't know!" Nik mumbled "there's a wall!"

Link stared frist at his brother then into the tunnel which Link could see the forest on the other side.

"No there isn't." Link said walking toward the tunnel.

"Yes there is!" Nik argued.

Link sighed as he walked in the tunnel unharmed.

"What the?" Nik asked as he stared at the tunnel.

Midna only shook her head as she walked toward the tunnel but she to walked into an unseen wall.

"Ow!" Midna said rubbing her fore head witch had come into direct contact..

"Told you!" Nik cried.

Midna ignored the boy and proceed to place a hand on the invisible wall she then ran her hand along the wall to see that it had no faults and was solid.

"Link you go on we will wait here." Midna said.

"Hold on." Nik said "I though he was supposed to train me?!"

"I will, but I have to get the Master sword." Link said as he jogged into the grove leaving Midna and his confused brother.

It took Link about ten minutes to wonder through the maze of the grove until he came across the court yard with the two stone guardians.

Link walked past the two stones and proceed up the stairs to the master sword.

When Link walked in the grove the sword lit up with energy as it always did when ever he drew it from its scabbard.

As Link walk toward the sword he unhooked the belt of his Oridon sword and took off from his back.

There Link stood in front of the sword of evil bane, as he reached for the blade he felt a chill running up his spine; he ignored it and pulled the blade from its prison.

"Not this time." a voice whispered from behind him.

Link did not have enough time to turn around before he felt a familiar hand around his throat witch lifted him two feet of the ground.

Link forced his eyes to open so he could se his attacker, when his eyes opened he saw a long black arm leading from a shadow beast.

But behind the beast stood a man with a very odd helmet peace.

"Zant!" Link barley managed to choke out as the beast grip grew tighter.

"Aw…the hero can speak!" Zant said with a chuckle "Gripe him tighter!" he ordered as Link let out a groan.

Zant walked up to the suspended hero with the mouth peace of his mask opening.

"You and that Princess ruined my life!" Zant whispered angrily into Links ear.

"And now you will pay!" Zant said as he took Links cap from his head, throwing it to the ground and stopping on it in frustration.

Zant razed his hand toward the wall and a bolt of black lighting shot from it.

Moments later a small portal opened.

"Oh don't worry hero im not going to kill you." Zant said as the shadow beast walked toward the portal. "Im going to make your life as miserable as possible!"

That sentence was the last thing Link heard before his vision darkened.
