SoS: And I actually started writing this last night, but ran out of time, and had to finish it today. Nice, right?

Blue: That's because she was playing a game all day, because she's lazy!

SoS: It's a fun game! Even if the grammar sucks. It makes me want to hit someone...

Blue: Just get writing!

SoS: Fine... I don't own LoZ or FS+...

Chapter 11: Secrets

Archer had trouble sleeping that night. He was too busy thinking of what he'd been told. Ivy had told him that the Twinrova, able to control powerful fire and ice magic, had brainwashed the entire village of Ordon. For some reason, they'd been unable to do so to her, but she hadn't let them know. She'd caught on, and faked ever since.

"If you can, try to get me some way to use magic," she'd said, her façade removed in the secrecy of another dimension. "If you can do that, I can try to create a diversion for you to get away." Archer had thought about this, but realized one important detail.

"I can't. We only have enough for the heroes we need to find," he'd explained, looking at her apologetically. However, at this she'd laughed without mirth.

"That's a good thing," she'd responded, smiling at some irony. "I am the last hero, but I'll be staying here. I doubt that you could fight them while protecting the princess, so I'll need to create a diversion for them to leave, but I'll have to stay behind." Archer had laughed as well.

"Here's the thing," he'd started. "We can't leave anyone behind. I can try to get you the magic, but we're going to help. Anyway, according to Ver, we can't fight without her. Our swords are just normal ones, and she can ask the goddesses for power. Anyway, I need to see your mark for proof." Ivy frowned, but nodded, and raised her left hand, showing where a fifth of the Triforce of Courage was golden.

"I understand that you intend to help me," she'd said, smirking. "But I'm afraid that you and Erin may be the only ones smart enough to figure out how. So I'll tell you their weak points, and you need to try to tell them, but you have to be careful. The Twinrova are able to turn invisible, but you can hear them. People can't fight them because they can't tell whether their next attack will be fire or ice, but Koume, the fire witch, makes a heavier sound when she flies, and Kotake's is higher and hollow sounding. They sound very similar, but you must pay attention. They have eyes and ears everywhere, and you can't let them know that you're on to them. You guys will be saved from brainwashing by the power of the Triforce, but it can't save you from their magic." She'd laughed at a thought. "And it wouldn't be cool if Hyrule's last hope was defeated by being cooked." Archer had snorted at that.

"I'll try to get you the magic, and I'll tell them somehow," he'd replied. "But do you have any idea how long our time frame is?" Ivy shook her head.

"Sorry, I'm afraid I don't," she'd said. "I think you'll be fine as long as we don't let on that we know what's going on."

"That's fine," Archer had said. "I should probably head back now, though. So, bye, Ivy." Ivy had frowned.

"I haven't told anyone here this," she'd said, "but my name is actually Ivory. I just didn't want anyone here to know that, since it's already a confusing place. But if I'll be traveling with you guys, you should know." Archer had smiled, and turned away.

"Good luck, Ivory," he'd said, before transporting them back and walking away.

Line break of time

"You sure took a while!" Ver had exclaimed upon Archer's return. Archer had smirked.

"That's because while all of you were lazing around, I tried to get more info," he'd said. Ver had looked surprised.

"What did you find out?" he'd asked, hoping for at least a good clue.

"Nothing..." Archer had said, looking to the side. "At least, I do know one thing, but I'll have to show you tomorrow."

"You can't just show us now?" Erin had asked, confused, as Crystal frowned.

"Nope, sorry, I'm pretty sure you'll have to wait," Archer had replied, putting his guitar in his bag.

"You can't just keep secrets!" Jay had shouted. Archer had given him a sideways look.

"Okay, you're really not that scary, and I'm not keeping a secret. I'll tell you tomorrow," he'd pointed out tiredly.

Jay had glared, but Ver nodded. "Okay, we should get some sleep for now, but tomorrow we'll head out." Everyone nodded, and tried to sleep. Archer, as before mentioned, had a bit more trouble sleeping than the rest of them.

I hope we make it out of this, he thought. I hope we all make it out of this.

Line break of seasons

The next day, Jay was surprisingly the first one up.

"Come on, you guys, we have to go!" he'd exclaimed, trying to shove everyone out of their beds. He'd done so to Crystal, who had complained, but Ver sat up before he got there, raising his hands in defense.

"Okay, okay, we're getting up!" he said, looking around for support. Unfortunately, all he got was Archer mumbling something about five more minutes, and Erin just ignoring him, probably still asleep. Crystal had climbed back into her bed. "Okay, how about this?" he tried again. "If you get up now, we can have more time to find the last hero."

This got Crystal and Erin up, but Archer waved his hand dismissively. Because of this, Jay shoved him out of his bed.

"We are not going to wait any longer," he said. "Show us what you found!"

"Huh, someone's impatient..." Archer replied, still half asleep. But he got up, and walked out, with everyone else following him. When they got to the desk, he saw Ivory there, and smiled at her, but she ignored him.

Right, she has to pretend she doesn't know me, he thought. That was such a bad mistake, Ver or Jay could have done it!

Jay laughed. "Are you flirting with that Ivy girl?" he asked, as Archer face palmed.

"Jay, I'm too tired for this right now, I didn't sleep well..." he complained.

Jay left him alone, but not for long.

"Where is this thing, anyways?" he asked, as Archer led them further out of town.

"Right about here," he replied. "Everyone, come here."

Jay ran over, and once everyone was there, he transported them into the dark world.

"Okay, why are we here?" Ver asked, somewhat annoyed at being teleported without warning. Archer laughed.

"Because they can't hear us now," he said.

"What do you mean by that?" Crystal asked.

Archer explained everything he knew, watching as the surprised looks on his friends' faces grew more and more obvious.

"And that's why we can't just leave this town," he finished, leaning against a tree.

"That pretty much explains everything that's been happening here," Ver said.

"Well it should," Archer pointed out. "Because that's exactly what happened."

SoS: I should write more, I know I should, but I'm so tired!

Green: Maybe you should sleep more.

SoS: Okay, I should sleep more, I know I should, but the internet is so entertaining!

Vio: She just likes to see if she can find LoZ related stuff.

SoS: Lately, everyday I've found something Zelda related when I wasn't even looking for it.

Green: That's... interesting.

SoS: What can I say, I'm lucky. It's been happening since a few weeks ago when I went on a trip with my church. Please review!
