Disclaimer: One day... Who am I kidding?! I don't own The Legend of Zelda, I think I never will...Still, I like to keep an open mind.
Chapter XIV: to arena of the winds
The heroes arrived to Faron Woods in no time. They started to walk towards the north. The two friends stopped when they reached the area covered in the thin fog.
- Well, princess Zelda said Faron Woods. Do you think she meant the Forest Temple? – The hylian asked to the twili.
- No, that's a tad too obvious. You're a hylian. Don't you know any other Temple that's in these woods? –
- I… don't, but maybe, Rusl does! –
Midna hid in the hero's shadow, after warping him to Ordon Spring and turning him back into his true form. The boy ran as fast as his feet would carry him towards the village. Once he got there, he head to a little house next to Fado's. The boy knocked three times, before a woman caring a baby in her arms opened it.
- Oh, but if it's Link. What a nice surprise. Come in, come in. - She said happy. – To day we have visitors. –
- Thanks. – After saying that the boy entered.
Once there, he saw that Auru, Ashei, Shad, Telma, her cat and Rusl were there. Uli, after having a short conversation with everyone, went for a walk.
- Link have you seen how's Castle Town right now? – Auru asked the hero.
- Yes, Ganondorf transformed every single person into monsters, even the children.- He made a short pause. – But then, how come you aren't ReDeads?-
- Well, after he arrived, we escaped to inform Telma. – The girl in armour explained.
- You see, darling the princess herself placed a charm in my bar. No magic can penetrate.- The owner of the pub told the blue eyed boy.
- When we finally got out everything was dark and gloomy. We searched for you, but you were gone, every one was gone, as my Collin. – The father of the shy boy said.
- I see… This is why I came. In order to save the children and the other inhabitants, I need to know if there is some kind of hidden, temple in Faron Woods. –
- Temple? - The man with glasses spoke. – Link I don't know about any temple, but there's a portal to the Arena of the winds.-
- Arena of the winds? –
- Yes, when Hyrule was new, the habitants built an arena. It was there, where the bloodiest battles took place. They said that the corpses were a tribute to the Goddesses, but they didn't like it and told seven wizards to banish it to the heavens, so no man could reach it. They did it, but left a hidden portal on the Faron. The legend says that the Goddesses didn't knew about it, that the people hid it from them. – He paused for a second. - That's all I know.-
- Thank you, now I must part. – The teenager informed.- But before I go, did anyone else escaped from the castle? –
- Yes, the mayor and Fado. – The blond moustached man told him.
- Thanks. – With that the boy waved goodbye and left the house.
Link made his way to the woods. The twilight princess got out of his shadow and said:
- Hidden, entrance? Where do you think it is?-
- Well, it could be somewhere in that fog, or over it. –
- The fog complicates the situation. How long has it been there?-
- Since the attack of Zant. I have known this forest my entire life and it was never there.-
- How old are you again?-
- Seventeen, you?-
- Eight hundred and eighteen and I don't look a day over Seven hundred ninety-nine.-
- Really? I thought you were around my age.-
- If I was I would still be a baby. Now returning to the portal, got any ideas?-
- I… well…- The boy was trying to remember what Shad had said.
Where the bloodiest battles took place… No, that's not useful. Corpses being a tribute to the Goddesses, that's only sick! Told seven wizards to banish it to heavens, they left a portal… Yeah that's god. The Goddesses didn't knew about it, about it how I am supposed to find it?! Wait; wait a second…- That's it! - He said it so suddenly that he gave the twili a scare.
- What's it?-
- The Goddesses didn't knew about the portal!-
- Well, if the didn't, how are you going to find it?-
- In the water Temple Nayru left a lens,- The hero explained about the lens and how Nayru taught him how to use it.- She also said that she created it because mortals were hiding things from the Goddesses. If the portal is here I will be able to see it with this lens.-
- Well, what are you waiting for the grass to grow?! Do it already!- The girl said playfully as she putted both hands on her hips.
The hero got out the lens and put it on. Everything was a light-blue, only Midna was white. He began to look around in a very big tree he saw a beam of light.
- There it is!- He asked his friend to turn him into a wolf.
The hero started to cross like the first time when he was searching for the tears of light in his wolf form. The creature stopped at the three where he saw the light. The imp changed him back into human. The blue-eyed hero placed the lens on his right eye and the twili hid in his shadow.
In the ground there was a huge circle with the mark of the Triforce on it. He stepped on the symbol and a small tornado wrapped him. He was lift into the skies. When the voyage was over he realized that he wasn't in the woods anymore, but in a huge arena above the clouds.
