Chapter XXV * The Dark Realm
"Hmm... Zelda, have you had any visions lately...?" Ganon questioned. He had moved the frozen princess into his new castle. He hadn't been satisfied with the old one, so he used his [stolen] dark magic to build a new, luxurious castle, filled with a great security system that would ensure that no one succeeded in breaking in. in other words, there were traps and puzzles all over the place, preventing someone from attacking him... although he could take it, alright. "No, Ganon. What do you think I am, your personal fortune teller?!" "Let's remember who's frozen in hot ice, princess." He smirked. "Oh, bite me." "Sure!" Ganon tried to bite off her ear, but then remembered she was in ice. His face rammed into it, and he screamed bloody murder. "Stupid idiot..." Zelda muttered. "Darn hot ice! Oh, it BURNS!!!" Ganon said rubbing his nose, which being the size it is, got smashed pretty badly. He was having a nosebleed. "I don't think I like hot ice..." he waved his arm and flames blue fire began eating at the ice surrounding Zelda. "Oh! Brr! Chilly!!" Ganon stupidly stuck his finger in the fire. Then he quickly tried to warm it up by putting it on the hot ice. "Ow! IT BURNS!!!" he yelled again after a moment. Then to cool off his burning finger, he stuck it in the blue fire. He left it in for so long, it became numb and turned black from frostbite. "No!! Ahh!!! Now my finger will have to be AMPUTATED!!!" he cried. Now Zelda was finally free form the ice, and Ganon magically put out the cold flames. "Hmm... Okay, back in the crystal." He decided, making the familiar rose-crystal appear around her, trapping her inside. "Now, you stay here and I'll go check on all the traps so Link will die before he makes it up here to the top tower." "Link isn't going to die, Ganon. You're such an idiot. Really, Link is always gonna be able to kick your butt. When are you gonna get it through your thick skull-" "All right, already, can it. I'm leaving so you can talk to yourself. Ganon walked out, and began to descend the huge spiral staircase.

Link and Marissa stood gawking at the beautiful crystal. It was oddly shaped... a spiked shape with a golden Triforce engraved into the center of it. "Just think... this jewel has enough power to open a portal to the very-well protected Sacred Realm..." Link commented. "Now what?! We're not in the Sacred Realm!!!!" Navi yelled. "Hmm... Well..." Marissa reached her hand out towards it. "No, wait. Don't. What if it disappears, or something?" Link asked. "It won't." she didn't break her stare as she replied confidently. Her index and middle fingers touched the Triforce symbol. It was so smooth... her fingered brushed against the actual crystal and she was certain she felt a slight surge... of... something... power? "Link, you touch it too!" Navi ordered. "Why?" "Maybe we'll be transported!!!" "OH YEAH. Right!" Link reached out and touched his two fingers to the sparkling crystal. "The hero, and the chosen one!" Navi giggled. There was a sudden flash of light and they were now someplace else.
"Oh, God Link!! Look at that!!" Marissa jumped and grabbed onto him, pointing to the massive statue behind them. It was Ganon. "Oh boy... I don't like the looks of this..." Navi said. "Navi... Marissa... I don't think we're in Hyrule anymore..." Link nervously said. (((Corny, I know. Oh well.))) "This is freaky." She added. "Really freaky." "AHH!! Look at all those possessed gargoyle things!!" Navi cried. They all stared at the gargoyle statues on the walls. The monsters had flaming red eyes that seemed to be watching their every move. "I think... I think we're in the Temple of Time..." Link stated. "But... aren't we in the Sacred Realm?" Marissa questioned. "No, I mean the Sacred Realm's Temple of Time. But since Ganon took over... he probably renamed this place, and that's why there's that statue of him." he explained. "Let's get out of here..." Marissa suggested, heading towards the door. "There's statues are just freaking me out." "Good idea..." Link and Navi didn't hesitate to follow.
Outside the temple, Marissa stopped dead in her tracks. Link stepped up from behind her, and gasped. "It... it isn't supposed to look like this... is it?" she stuttered. "I don't think so..." Link shook his head. There were towers and buildings all over the place, and rolling rock mountains in the distance. All the buildings were boarded up, and some roofs had caved in. each one was in it's own bad condition, and beyond them all stood a massive castle with a visible thundercloud hovering above it. "That must be Ganon's castle..." Link guessed. "Oh no... you mean we have to go in there?!" "How else are we gonna get to him?" "Link, look! Is that what I think it is...?" Navi asked. "The Chamber of Sages!!" he announced. "Do you think we can go in?" asked the little fairy. "I don't see why not... but I don't really want to. I mean, Ruto's in there..." he sighed. "Oh, Link, c'mon. She's a sage now. It's not like she can chase you down again." "Well... okay I guess we should tell the, that we're here." Marissa followed them not knowing who Ruto was, or why Link didn't want to see her.
The Chamber of Sages was a huge room with a wild floor. When they stepped down on it, the royal blue rippled and changed to black under their weight like a strange liquid. They could see a circle of people in the back of the room. Link quickly spotted Ruto. She was sitting on the throne crested with the Water Medallion's symbol with her head resting on her hand. Saria had her back to him. She was talking. "If I could have a career, I'd wanna be a stripper!! That way I could dance to all this sexy music, and try to seduce people!!!" she was saying. "That's... uh... and *unusual* job to be interested in..." Nabooru noted. "I wouldn't mind being a love slave for-" "LINK!!!" Ruto jumped up. "Yeah, that would be GREAT, but I'd also like to be a love slave for- " "Oh, Link! I'm so glad you're here to save me from Ganon!!" Ruto cried jumping down, and running over to him. "Ruto, get back here!" Rauru yelled. "It could be a trick!!" "You think I wouldn't know my own fiancé?!" she shouted back at him. Immediately Marissa began cracking up. "Princess Ruto, I really uh..." "Oh, hi Link! Wassup?!" Saria finally turned around and looked at him. He eyed her, remembering what she had just said about love slaves. "Is that really you, brother?!" Darunia asked. Link nodded. "Ganon certainly did a job on all those buildings down there..." "Yes. Before he came, the Sacred Realm was a beautiful place... it was golden and full of life... the three goddesses protected the Triforce and everything was peaceful. But then Ganon invaded and made his wish on the Triforce... what else would it be but to take over the world? The Scared Realm became the dark and evil world he imagined. He's got Zelda in his castle, but he often comes here to threaten us... but I'm not afraid of him." Darunia explained. Nabooru rolled her eyes and remembered the first time Ganon had walked into their chamber....
"HELLO, SAGES!!!!" he had laughed evilly. "OH NO!!! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!" Darunia had screamed at the top of his lungs.
"His castle is that huge one, right?" Link asked. "Yes." Impa answered. "We can help you. Give me your sword." "Hmm? Impa, what are you talking about?" Rauru asked. "While you were all being the insane lunatics you are, I was building up energy to help save Hyrule." She explained. "Cool!!!" Saria yelled. "Okay..." Link unsheathed the Master Sword, and let Impa take it.
