A village was built along side the cliffs, some buildings had stairs leading up to the cliffs themselves. Most of the buildings were made from wood and metal, but there was one house made of stone.
The Eldin Healing Spring stood to the left of the path. A ball of dull light floated above the pool.
"Be careful," Lara said. "There are Twilight Messangers coming."
"Again?" Sam sighed. "We just fought some a few minutes ago!"
"Twilight Messangers are very determined creatures. They don't give up easily."
Five black pillars rose out of the ground. A glowing red barrier appeared, twisting around each of the pillars and trapping Sam and Lara inside.
A black and red cloud appeared high above them. Three Twilight Messangers fell out of it and surrounded them.
"Don't bother with the dark ring yet," Sam growled. "Lets see how long it takes to kill one without the ring."
"Takes longer than you're thinking, but okay."
Sam tackled the closest of the three, while Lara stabbed another with one of her daggers. Sam killed the first in a few hits. He whirled around to face the third.
The third Twilight Messanger slashed at Sam and threw him into the barrier. Sam hit the wall, knocking the wind out of him.
Lara ran at the third Twilight Messanger and stabbed a dagger into the back of it's neck. She threw the other knife at the second creature and the blade stuck into the Twilight Messanger's mouth.
Both died at once and exploded. The barrier and black pillars vanished. The cloud above turned black and green.
Something silver fell out of the cloud. Lara caught it in her free hand and held it up. It was a square shaped amethyst, surrounded in a thin sheet of pure silver. It hung from a silver chain and glowed white in the light of the black moon.
"What's that?" Sam asked.
"It's my necklace," Lara replied. "My great grandfather gave it to me. I thought I'd lost it when I was kidnapped."
"It's nice."
"Yeah."
Lara hooked the chain around her neck. She picked up her other dagger and put both back into their sheathes.
"We need to speak to Eldin," she said. She walked to the edge of the pool, Sam followed close behind her. "Light Guardian, Eldin, we've come from the forests of Ordon and Faron. How may we help in repairing your land?"
"The insects of Twilight have stolen the light," a female voice replied. "Return the light to me and the land shall be repaired."
A Vessel of Light appeared at Sam's feet. He looked up at Lara.
"I can't help," Lara sighed. "If I could see what you can see, I would help, but I can't."
"I know," Sam replied. "Stay here, don't get into trouble. Anything I should know before I go?"
"There are three insects inside a bomb store house. Watch out for those three, they'll set the bombs on fire."
"Anyway to avoid it?"
"Not really. Get out as soon as the insects are set on fire. You'll be trapped inside if you don't get out fast."
"Alright." Sam picked up the Vessel of Light in his jaws and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Lara knelt down and held Sam in a hug for a moment. She let him go and stood up again. "Let me know once you've gotten out of the store house, okay?"
Sam nodded, then ran off into the village. It took about an hour to find thirteen of the sixteen Twilight Parasite.
Sam had climbed part way up Death Mountain and found a strange stone, which seemed to be humming a tune. Sam repeated the notes and the white furred, red-eyed wolf appeared.
The white wolf looked at Sam for a moment, then ran down the mountain path. Sam followed the wolf all the way to the village. The white wolf was gone leaving no trace of where it'd gone.
Sam climbed up the cliffside to a wide ledge higher up. A tall building sat far from the cliff. Something ran past Sam and slipped into a hole in the wall of the building.
Sam crawled through the hole and entered the building. It was the bomb store house Lara had warned him about before. He looked around, spotting the three white, cat-like creatures hiding under a pile of wood in the fireplace.
A lit torch stood in a pot near the door. Sam set the Vessel of Light on the ground and picked up the torch. He threw it into the fireplace and picked up the golden strand of light, just as the three Twilight Parasite took flight and set the whole building on fire.
"He's been gone a while," Lara said. "Maybe I should try to find him, make sure he's okay."
"He can take care of himself," Midna protested. "If he'd wanted your help he--oh, no!"
Lara turned to see what Midna was looking at. High above on a rocky cliff, a tall building was engulfed in flames. Lara knew it was the bomb store house.
She ran to the bottom of the cliff. There was an explosion, the bombs had gone off. She stared up towards the edge of the cliff. Sam didn't appear at the edge.
"M-maybe he's gathering the light," Midna suggested. "He could be getting it all together now, so he doesn't have to go back for it."
Lara didn't reply, she just kept staring up at the cliff, expecting Sam to appear at any moment. She stood in silence for a few moments.
"Sam!" she yelled at the top of her lungs. "Sam, wake up! Don't you dare die on me!"
