Chapter 12 hyrule's final hour escape to Termina
Sylvia lands in front of Renàle and Gannon "link just attacked the Kokiri Kitoran is on his way to the forest" "What? He's going to get himself killed! we have to stop him now!" yelled Gannon Meanwhile Kitoran was just approaching the Kokiri Forest. "we need to save him I'll teleport us" said Sylvia as she grabs them and uses faores wind. "Yes we must" said Gannon They teleport in front of Kitoran. Kitoran stops at the group "Don't try to stop me this is something I HAVE to do!" he said "No you have to calm yourself if you rush into this blindly you'll only end up killing yourself" said Gannon. Renàle let go of Sylvia and Ganondorf dropping to her knees and emptying her stomached at the sight before her. dozens of dismembered Kokiri bodies littered the forest floor. Dekus had decided to take residence in Kokiri village and started pelting the three with Deku nuts. / Link had destroyed the temple of time and left for the spirit temple. At the highest points of the temple he played an altered version of the song of storms causing the gerudo desert to turn into a giant muddy sinkhole swallowing the gerudo. He heard a rumble in the distance. " Guess the bombs I put in the core of death mountain finally went off! The volcano is erupting and those gorons will be encased in hardened magma! It's done. I've finally finished this cursed land off once and for all! This land though... It's not the only one who's wronged me." He looked to the east. "Guess it's time to pay Termina a visit." With that he put the ocarina to his lips and was gone. Sylvia looks up to see link teleporting somewhere. With tears streaming from his eyes Kitoran looked across his home. "That bastard...he caused all this and your telling me to be CALM? I'm the last of my kind the great Deku sprout is dead and with no Deku sprout we cant be reborn...if i died it would be a favor...but...(His face taking on a deranged and psychopathic look)...hehehe if I kill him though...maybe i can use the blade to reverse the effects...and use the ocarina and the song of time to reverse EVERYTHING! heheheHAHAHAH!"
"Link deserves to die at this point, but where could he have gone there's nowhere left in hyrule" said Sylvia. Renàle's eyes went wide. She pulled on the white silk sleeve of Ganondorf robes to get his attention. She was pale and in pain. She had a horrible head ache. "I Know where he will go and I think you do to Gannon" said Kitoran "True he must be headed for Termnia" Gannon said "Yes Renàle?" he said "what's Termina?" Sylvia asked "It's an alternate dimension inside of the Lost Woods" Gannon explained
"I lived in lost woods for 3 years and I didn't find it, how could I miss something like that" Sylvia said "It's hard to find even for Lost Woods denizens it is located in a very dense part of the woods" Kitoran explained "The moon... the moon... IT'S GONNA CRUSH US!" Renàle went into the fetal position trembling. "Man the wheel Kila! The waves are going to capsize us!... Pull down the sail! We'll ride the waves! And you call yourselves pirates!" She was having flashbacks. She passed out. ""What's wrong with you girl? remember thing you don't want to?" Kitoran said (Kitoran's going a little insane currently so he's somewhat evil right now) Lanose aimed a slap to the back of Kitoran's head. "SNAP OUT OF IT! Kitoran... I know what your going through. Remember you helped me when my clan was nearly wiped out, but not all of them are gone! Are you so far off the deep end that you cannot sense the growth of another Deku sprout deep beneath the soil! Can you not sense the surviving Kokiri hiding in the lost wood?" Lanose asked trying to help her old friend. Pointing his Dark Kokiri Blade at Lanose and going to attack her but suddenly Kitoran stopped and fell to his knees clutching his head. "Oh no...I almost...I have to get a better hold on my sanity I almost tried to kkill you..." Kitoran said. "Have you honestly forgotten why your mind is warping? I'm older than you and my memory is better. Do not worry Kitoran I could have stopped you using my magic. It's not the best but it is good enough to defend myself. You don't remember I used the essence of light in your heart to forge the ivory barrier?" Lanose asked seriously. Her perma-grin fading away. "Yes i do...but this darkness i harbor now may take me over one day...and I fear the repercussions would be far more serious than what link is doing." Renàle mumbled in her sleep "Mother? Why does the moon act so strangely... Are we going to die... mother please wake up! Mother... MOTHER!" She twisted and thrashed on the ground still unconscious. "Will someone shut her-I mean help her?" said Kitoran Renàle couldn't stop the onslaught of memories entering her mind. One in particular stood out though. #flashback# "Mother! What story do you have for us today?" A five year old Renàle asked happily." her mother turned to her "How about the dawn of the crimson age?" She asked. "Ooh I love that story!" Renàle squealed in joy. "long ago the light was taken from a Kokiri's heart to make a key that looked liked a shield. Whoever held this key became an invincible hero. At the same time the darkness from a zora's heart was taken to make a key in the shape of a sword. Whoever held it became evil. The sword and shield when used together creates the ultimate tool for the goddesses to use. A person who keeps the balance between light and dark, creation and destruction. When the 2 keys are found a third key will appear. No one knows what it looks like though. The three keys and the triforce chosen ones will open a door to the worlds salvation..." The memory faded away. Renàle had said all of that in her unconscious state. "Wait...it's...it's true...I remember now...long ago i was asked by the goddesses to use my pure soul to create the Ivory Shield but when they did they also created the Ebony Blade saying they needed to keep balance between good and evil...I had no idea they meant something like this!" Kitoran said he Drops beside her. "Hey hey...take your time." He said "Sorry.. thanks Kitoran In this state I can't tele... teleport us to Termina and Farores wind can only take you to places you've already been... cough... we should rest for the night a lot as happened today. Maybe we can chat and get to know each other better?" Renàle asked. "Good we should...but...can I take some time to bury the Kokiri?" Kitoran said "Of course how insensitive of me. I can't stand right now so I can't help I'm sorry. I know I'll cook a... never mind I just remembered what Ganondorf threatened to do If I ever cooked that 'poisonous slop' his words not mine, ever again." Renàle said grabbing nearby branches and leaves within her reach for a fire. As Kitoran got to his burials Gannon looked to Renàle. "I never said that! I said 'Vile Stew'"
"Really? Maybe it was Kotake who said that then. Though it was an accurate description considering I poisoned 3/4ths of gerudo fortress." Renàle tried to remember.
"Why did they let you cook? I'm surprised you didn't kill everybody!" said Gannon
Renàle pouted pathetically "Well excuuuuuse me. It was my very first time cooking! I had read the cookbook but SOMEONE put rat poison in an empty dry meat box." Said Gannon Lanose walked over to help Kitoran "I'm so sorry." She said as she buried Mido. Lanose walked over to help Kitoran "I'm so sorry." She said as she buried Mido. "This isn't your fault Lanose...it's Link's...for being to weak to resist the evil in the Ebony Blade!...my own blade is far more evil than that and i resist it day in day out perfectly!" said Kitoran "considering it was white, dry, powder chicken breast for flavoring, no I didn't." Renàle replied to Gannon sticking her tongue out at Gannon. "Sigh...And how did you suffer no ill effects?" Gannon asked "As a pirate I've built u a strong immune system becau...se of.. poisonous fish... Where did that come from? I was never a pirate. Or was I?" Renàle pondered aloud. "Think about it Kitoran. He used to be pure. He didn't know how to nor could he fight it. If someone challenged you to an archery contest and you accepted full well knowing that you don't know how to use a bow who do you think would win?" Lanose explained. "Yes you were...before I found you" said Gannon
"Ahh i see because my soul has been battling evil for so long i can resist it but his soul is pure so it cant resist the influence of evil?" Kitoran said "Correct, you battled small amounts of darkness within yourself when you were young. Link did not. It's like getting an immunization shot to defend you from darkness that Link never got." Lanose explained to Kitoran. Renàle is confused. "I don't remember being a pirate... Do I? I kinda remember the ocean and having a war with the zoras. Stealing a Zora songstresses eggs." Renàle again ponders out loud. / Link was thrilled! This land was more of a challenge to destroy than Hyrule. He barely escaped from the canyon with his life. "Wow the undead here are stronger than in Hyrule. Maybe I'll have better luck in the swamp." With that he teleported away.
