Sam opened his eyes. He was lying in the clearing of the cliffs. He staggered to his feet and quickly looked around. The sky above was dark and cloudy. A thick smell of blood was draped over the whole mountain. There was no sign of the others.

"Lara!" he yelled. "Luke! Sun! Guys, where are you?!"

"Over here!"

Sam whirled around to see Luke crawling out from under a few rocks. He ran over, grabbed Luke's arms and pulled him out.

"What happened?" Sam asked. "Where're Sun and Lara?"

"I don't know," Luke coughed. "One minute Sun and I were together, next minute she was gone and those rocks fell on me."

"Anything broken?"

"Don't think so."

"Right. We should try to find the girls."

They walked along the path, keeping close to the cliff side. They entered another clearing. Half way across the clearing, Sun and Lara were running across the clearing.

"There you are," Luke sighed. "We've been trying to find you two!"

"Well, sorry, we got chased by a Twilight Bear," Lara growled. The two girls came to a stop in front of the boys. "And in case you haven't noticed, we're all still human."

"So?"

"We're not supposed to be," Sam said. "Without the Moon Pearl, we should've taken different forms."

"Moon Pearl?" Sun asked. "You mean this?"

Sun pulled a cord out from under her shirt. It was a white leather cord that was looped around her neck. At the end of it, securely looped onto the cord was a light pink pearl about the size of a walnut.

"That's it alright," Lara said. "But how'd you get it?"

"It belonged to my sister, Toran..."

"Oh...I'm sorry..."

"No, it's okay. She turned to Naraku for power. I'd have gone with her, but Luke saved my tail."

"Can we get on with this?" Sam asked. "I've got a sick feeling we're being watched."

"That's not surprising," Lara said. "Agahnim has a link to this world, he can see everything in it. C'mon, there should be a path up to the cliff tops."


They walked around for a short time, until they reached the top of a cliff. It was a large cliff, about three times Sam's height.

Lara took out the mirror and beckoned for all of them to look into it. The world in the mirror was the Light Hyrule. It slowly changed to the Dark Hyrule, then went blank.

They looked around to find themselves at the foot of the tower, back in the Light Hyrule. A blue blast of magic shot towards them and slammed into Luke, throwing him off the cliff.

He landing with a thud. He began to push himself up to his feet but the floor beneath him suddenly gave way and he fell into the heart of the mountain.

"Luke!" Sun screamed.

"Sam, it's Seth!" Lara gasped.

Sam turned to a cliff higher above them. Seth stood there, he seemed to be chanting something.

"C'mon," Sam said. "Sun, Lara, it's not safe out here! Come on!"

They ran up the stairs and into the tower. They came into a large room, with no monsters in sight.

"It's my fault," Sun sniffed. Sam and Lara turned to her. "It's my fault that he fell."

"No, it's not," Lara replied.

"Yes, it is! I love that kid and I just let him fall!"

Sun sat on the floor and pulled her legs up so she could rest her head on her knees.

"Sun..."

"C'mon," Sam said. He placed a hand on Lara's shoulder. "Leave her alone for a bit."

"Sam," Sun cried. She handed Sam the Pendant of Courage. "Take it."

Sam clutched the Pendant, then slipped the cord around his neck. He gripped Lara's hand and led her towards the staircase in the center of the room.
