I didn't know what to call Girahim's cloak/cape/shawl, so I went with cloak. Sounds manlier then shawl, anyway.
As for his sword, it definitely a cutlass.
Looks like this is my last chapter. Please review and keep a lookout for my other stories!
When Epona couldn't keep up, they let her loose in the forest and Link rode behind Oni Link. Morgan was determined to get out of the forest, something that could have never been said about her before.
Morgan hated being helpless. She hated being the prey. She hated running from anything. Girahim was going to pay for all he put her through. Morgan inwardly grinned.
The hunter was back.
Against all odds, they made it to Hyrule field. Link marveled at Nightshade's stamina, as the black mare had not gone less then a full gallop all day. They did not slow their pace, however, because the plan was to make Girahim believe they were running away.
All they had to do now was wait.
They didn't have to wait very long.
A wall of translucent diamonds formed a large circle around them, trapping them. It took some impressive hoof work on Nightshade's part to keep from crashing into it, and Morgan and Timbltin had to pull up and use a technique known as 'floating' to keep from bashing their heads.
Girahim appeared in front of them, a look of pure fury on his face.
"You think you can fool me? I, Demon Lord Girahim, defeated by a human and an elf? Apparently killing you is not enough!"
He spread his arms out, his cloak and gloves dissolved into diamonds, and a black cutlass appeared in his hand.
"This begs the question," Morgan laughed, baring her teeth, "How much do you really know about elves and humans? Or dragons? Or even the consequences of your actions?"
Morgan folded in her wings and dropped lightly to the ground. Sliver magic solidified in her hands as two straight swords. She snarled at Girahim.
"Time to end this." She said, her voice low and dangerous.
She charged at Girahim, pushing off the ground at the last second to allow Link to spring his attack, slashing with the Master Sword at Girahim. He swung out of the way, only the have his path blocked by the sharp edge of Oni Link's double helix sword. Throwing himself backwards, he just baarreely stopped before he impaled himself on Morgan's silver swords.
"What now demon?" Oni Link asked calmly. For the first time in Girahim's long life, he was genuinely afraid.
"This is ridicules," scoffed Morgan, "I didn't even have to use the extra dragon's magic."
If only Morgan had kept her big, cocky mouth shut.
Girahim teleported behind her and held his sword to her throat.
"Be careful, you might kill somebody." He taunted Link and Oni Link.
"Don't worry." Morgan grinned. "The fun is just beginning."
She blasted Girahim away, slamming him against his own magical wall. She pounced forward with her knives, slashing at Girahim before getting kicked off. Link rushed forward, only to be stopped by Oni Link.
"Don't worry Hero. We've won. This is just payback."
"Won?" Link stuttered. "But…."
"It was too easy?" Oni Link finished for him. "This fight here will drag on until Girahim is beaten to a pulp, then you can, ahem, 'kill' him, for lack of a better term."
They stood quietly and watched them fight for a while.
"She really is playing with her prey." Timbltin commented. "It almost looks as if Girahim could possibly win. Just wait…. Three…. Two….One."
Morgan grabbed Girahim's neck and threw him across the magical ring.
"That looks like it hurt." Tim laughed.
"Allow me to educate you, Demon Lord." Morgan hissed at Girahim. "I have the blood of the three-headed dragon Instinct, Heart and Reason. He is the king of all dragons! You do not…" she slammed her sword into his chest, "shed the blood of the King of Dragons. You do not…" she stabbed Girahim with her other sword, "shed the blood of the Queen of Elves." She turned away, panting. The dragonish form faded, until she looked normal (well, normal for her). "Finish it, Link." She said softly.
Link marched forward and practically impaled Girahim on the Master Sword. He crumbled into black sand, surprisingly, without a final remark.
"I can not believe," said Link, turning to face Morgan, "that you just made defeating Girahim look easy."
"It was the dragon's form. Powerful stuff. I won't be able to do that again for a while."
Morgan took the silver box from Girahim's ashes.
"I'll be taking this." She said. "It's caused enough trouble."
The barrier Girahim had made trembled, flickered, and broke apart.
"It's over?" Link asked tentatively.
"It's over." Morgan and Oni Link said together.
"Morgan," said Oni Link softly, "those memories you gave me, do you really…"
"Yes." She interrupted. "But we can't. You might not bear the Triforce anymore, but you still belong to Hyrule. I can't stay here. I have my own land and people to take care of."
"Will I see you again?" he asked.
"We are immortals. I find it unlikely that we wouldn't."
Link looked away, feeling like he was intruding. He began to walk away, heading towards the Castle. Zelda would be worried by now.
"Hero!" Morgan called. Link turned towards her. "Keep my weapons and armor! I think you've earned them. May they serve you well. Goodbye! I'll see you later, if you're unlucky." Link laughed and waved. He turned and ran off, eager to be home.
Morgan hugged Oni Link, much to his shock. She pulled down his head and kissed him.
"I have to go, now. I'll see you again." She whispered. Oni Link held her for a moment.
"I'll wait for you." He told her.
1 week later
"I have never heard of anything like that!" Zelda exclaimed as Link finished his story for the eighth time. "I've combed through the library, and I can't find a single page about this Morgan or this Oni Link or even Fierce Deity/"
"Don't worry about it, Zelda." Link laughed, grabbing ahold of her hand. "I'm sure they prefer it that way."
I thought the offhand way they watched the battle was hilarious. If you want a more intense ending, let me know and I'll change it.
Thank you, all of my readers, for coming with me to the end, and I hope you'll read my other stories (check my profile for what's coming next!)
Disclaimer: I will own Legend of Zelda the same day I play golf through a Stargate with Teal'c and Captain Jack O'Neil. So, never.
Thank you all!
