King Rhoam had started to test more and more ancient technology, making sure everything was ready. We could all feel it now, like a dense fog of despair that hung inside the palace. Zelda grabbed my hand.
"Link, I'm worried. Can you feel it too?" I nodded.
"It's fine. We'll be okay. Your father has all the guardians and divine beasts up and running, right?"
"Yes, but something feels off…" I put my arm around her.
"Everything will work out." A rumbling like in my dream suddenly shook the floor. I unsheathed my sword.
"What's happening?" Zelda cried, leading me out of the castle. All the staff of the castle followed us, running while screaming into the field. King Rhoam was out too, with his team of ancient technology workers. They were all carrying control panels, and the guardians were alight, ready to fire.
"It's starting. We must prepare to fight." I said. I stared at the castle, which was now covered in the red and black smoke. That dream was a message of what's to come, I thought. A deafening roar echoed through the air, and a beast emerged from the smoke, surrounding the castle. The sky turned grey and Zelda gasped next to me.
"Link, we have to run away!" She grabbed me, trying to pull me away, but I stayed put.
"No. We still have the guardians and the divine beasts. We just have to be careful." I looked into her eyes. "I'll protect you," She nodded.
"Thank you." Both of us turned as large red balls of flames began raining down.
"What the-" I jumped out of the way as one landed right where I had been standing a minute ago. For some strange reason I couldn't place, the fireballs didn't seem to be aimed at the people. They were meant for the divine beasts and the guardians.
"Oh no!" Zelda cried, as one struck a guardian. But it didn't explode, like I thought it would. It's eye instead turned from blue to red. To my greatest horror, it began shooting laser beams around at the crowd of people. Bodies littered the ground as more and more guardians became infected with Calamity Ganon's dark magic. I had a horrible realization. If he's going for the guardians, he must be going for the divine beasts too. And those things are more powerful than any other weapons we have!
"We have to get out of here," I grabbed her hand, and we ran. That might be the thing I most regret about my life, running. I left all those innocent people behind, the King, the castle staff, innocent villagers who had just been walking around. I was snapped back into reality when heard Zelda scream and watched her trip over a body. I stopped as soon as I saw the face. It was King Rhoam.
"Link!" Zelda screamed, tears running down her face. "It's my father! My father!" She wept. Her head snapped up suddenly. "We have to go. We can't die or there will be no one left to save everyone!" She grabbed my hand and started running for the forest.
"No. I have to defeat him. The lady in my dream…" This sounds crazy, "She said the fate of Hyrule rests with me."
"Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. But right now, I need you. So come with me!" She shouted. But she knew it was a lost cause. I wouldn't budge.
"No. You go, I'll join you in a second." I ran towards the castle in a zig-zag pattern so I wouldn't get hit by a laser. As soon as I saw Calamity Ganon looming over me, I shouted in his face.
"You cannot destroy my village, or my people, or my life. I will fight you till the end, Ganon!" My voice rang.
"Hahaha! Little boy, you think you can beat me?" He cackled, sending shivers up my spine. His voice sounded like metal scraping against metal, or nails on a chalkboard. I drew my sword.
"If I die protecting my people, then so be it. But I will not run away, not from anything!" I screamed, thinking of the king lying lifeless on the ground. I will avenge his life. Ganon jumped down from atop the castle's tower, landing on the ground with a large thud. He was even larger face to face. He was a huge spider-like creature with wild red hair framing a menacing human-like face. He drew his giant sword that glowed orange. A fire sword! I thought, and if I hadn't been looking death in the eye, I would've been in awe.
