Chapter Twenty: Fairy Magic
"But, how can I have fairy magic? I'm a Sheikah!" said Sheik worriedly,
HoT walked towards her, and around her, examining her, before he said, "Don't know, either you have a parent who is a fairy," Sheik was about to object, to insist that both her parents were Sheikah, when HoT added, "Or the water from the fountain caused you to change, I guess you're part fairy now. A Sheikah-Fairy,"
Far from being upset about this, Sheik seemed quite pleased; this was because she had always wanted to be different, special.
"So, how do we use your newly acquired powers to our advantage?" HoT pondered,
"I don't know how to use them," Sheik said dreamily, lifting the bottle that contained the time vortex,
Suddenly, a flash of light blasted Sheik into the water, and the bottle dropped to the floor.
Picking it up, HoW looked into it. The time energy inside the bottle was rapidly condensing into a star shape, and had a silver colour. When it was done, it was barely an inch big, and it was bashing against the side of the bottle nearest to Sheik, as if it wanted to be with her.
"Well, I can tell you one thing, you can condense vast amounts of time energy into a small star," HoW told Sheik, handing her the bottle,
Taking it, Sheik peered into the bottle, where the little star was bobbing up and down in excitement.
Crouching down, HoT also peered into the bottle. The star turned, and now HoT saw that it had a little face on it.
"It appears to be some sort of… star of time. A Chronostar," HoT concluded scientifically,
"A Chronostar?" Sheik asked, tearing her eyes away from the star to look at him,
"Yes, it seems to be created when you have a vast amount of what is called "Fey Power" or fairy magic, and a lot of time energy, I looked it up in a book about time travel once. That star is your baby," HoT told her,
Sheik instantly held the bottle close to her, protectively.
Having concluded their stay on Outset Island, the group of friends, the Pirate Crew, Linebeck, and the new addition to the group, Aryll, who had insisted on coming this time, packed up their stuff, stored it on the ship and set sail.
The King of Red Lions had suggested they head to where the Tower of the Gods had once stood.
HoW was walking to the other side of the deck, towards the stern, when he saw that Sheik was sitting on the handrail.
Walking over, he could see that she was still holding onto the bottle with the Chronostar in it.
"Small little fella, isn't he?" HoW asked, leaning forward to look at the bottle,
"The Hero of Time said that if we get a bigger container for it, we can give him more time energy," Sheik replied, a small smile playing on her lips,
"I think we're here, the King of Red Lions said that we have to go underwater, but I can't stay underwater for very long,"
Sheik turned, and smiled at Link, showing two rows of perfect white teeth, "I'm sure we'll think of something,"
Weirdly enough, they actually thought of something, Mikau had some armour made of Zora scales, conveniently called Zora Armour. HoW put it on, and found out he could now breathe underwater. HoT already had a Zora Tunic that did the same job.
HoT, now in his blue tunic, stood waiting for HoW to finish getting ready.
HoW came out in his Zora Armour (which Mikau had given him to keep, as the Zora didn't need it), closely followed by Sheik, still clutching the jar, and nodded at HoT.
Both of them, and Mikau, then dived into the water, and started swimming downwards. Soon, the flooded plateau of Ganon's Tower could be seen. HoW was going to move on, until he saw that the statue that was Ganondorf was gone, and the Master Sword was lying on the floor.
Swimming as fast as he could, with HoT and Mikau trailing behind, HoW made a course for the plateau. He picked up the Master Sword and saw that it must have been weakened temporarily for Ganondorf to escape. Turning around in circles, to see if there was any evidence as to where the King of Evil had gone, he noticed something that hadn't been there when he had fought Ganondorf before. A pedestal.
Walking up to the pedestal, HoW held the Master Sword in front of his face. Its sheen and indestructibility were still evident, even after nine months underwater. HoW turned the sword so the point was facing the pedestal, and plunged it in.
The light produced was so blinding that HoW, HoT and Mikau had to take a step back.
When the light had cleared, a dome had once again covered the lost land of Hyrule, and the water began to drain out. Suddenly, markings began appearing on the plateau.
HoW pulled the Master Sword out of the pedestal, and unsheathed the Sword of Spirit, holding the two swords in an uncanny impression on Ganondorf.
Suddenly the Dark Markings grouped together and rose out of the plateau. The figure that stood there looked exactly like HoW.
"It's Dark Link!" HoT shouted in shock.
Right, now we're in trouble.
