Since the barrier around the castle had been broken, everyone thought peace reigned again. And they were all celebrating in Telma's bar. So many people were there that she had to call in back up, namely me and this other girl who probably was a prostitute in her spare time. Compared to those two, I felt like a convent woman in my own outfit. I shudder to think of how I would look if I dressed like them.
I set probably a fifth drink in front of one man, and he squeezed my hip. Affronted, I turned and glared at him. He put on a drunken smile and said something so vulgar I won't put it here. "Say that one more time?" I threatened, giving him a look that could kill. Deciding that since half the patrons were passed out drunk, Telma and her helper could take care of everything. I looked at Telma, and said: "I'm gonna go get some rest." I walked back towards where she and I stayed, to find "The Group" packing their war stuff. "Going somewhere?" I asked slyly, eyeing the items.
"Just normal group stuff." Auru replied easily.
"Can I come?"
"No!" Rusl snapped. "For reasons, you are not allowed to come with us. Link just wants to keep you safe, Ely."
I sighed, "I understand. I'm gonna go rest." The door shut behind me and I walked into the room I stayed in. I paced, constantly looking out the window at the castle. I opened the door a crack and peeked into the bar.
No escape there.
With a sigh, I shut the door and leaned against it, in despair. My eyes found the window, and I grinned. "Perfect." The window creaked slightly when I opened it; I winced, looking back to make sure no one had heard me.
Why would they? Psyche reasoned. That bar is a din!
"Yeah," I whispered, "It's so loud in there, I could scream and they probably wouldn't hear me." I opened the window fully and slipped out onto the street. It was empty. Probably because they're all celebrating the faux peace. I thought, shutting the window with my heel. I walked out to an area where horses were kept and got Wings. I tacked him up, and set off at a trot around the field.
For some reason, all the monsters were gone from the fields.
I ended up flying to the top of a mountain by the Zora's Domain to visit Ralis when I heard the worst sound I could ever hear.
An explosion.
I turned sharply around, and saw the throne room on fire. "Ralis!" I screamed, turning back to the great waterfall. "Ralis!" I took off in flight, not landing until I was right in front of the throne. "King Ralis, the throne room is on fire!"
Ralis gasped and started giving commands quickly. The room was empty besides the two of us thirty seconds later. "I'm going too!" He said fiercely, and dove into the water to follow his subjects.
Link. . .
"Ohmigodesses!" I screeched, turning and flying back towards the fire. As soon as I got in the North Hyrule field vicinity, the smoke hit full force, and I was forced to land. I found my horse, coughing up a lung, and held onto the stirrup for support.
Wings whinnied, nudging me, as if to say 'You can do it! Let's go!'
"You're right." I muttered. "I have to help them, I don't care what happens after, I can't stand around like this!" With a grunt, I swung myself into the saddle and wheeled my stallion around. "Let's go, Wings! Yah!" Wings shot off, and we were flying.
That's one of the reasons I named him Wings, his gallop was so smooth, like his hooves never even touched the ground.
Just like he had wings.
All the monsters were gone from West Hyrule Field, and I galloped straight through the gates. Citizens that crowded around shrunk to the sides of the road, and drunks were yanked to the side, in fear of being trampled.
Good thing.
Wings' hoof beats matched my heartbeat as we thundered through the city center. I crossed close to the castle, and Wings skidded to a halt. We were met with spear points held by shaking guards. "I'm not going to harm you." I stated, before jumping into the air and letting my angel wings free. I flew up to the throne room. Which wasn't on fire anymore, thanks to the Zora and their water dance.
What I found surprised me to say the least. There was a small, bloody imp on the floor. Wait a minute. . . "Midna?" I breathed.
"Ely?" She croaked. "Ely, Ganondorf, Link, Zelda, Eldin Field. . ." She coughed.
I pulled her into my arms so her back was slightly elevated. "Shh, shh. . ." I soothed. "They can handle him together."
Psyche appeared beside me, "Ely, go aid Link and Zelda, I'll heal Midna, we'll meet you in the field when all is well." I looked around the throne room. Nothing bad, nothing that would be life-threatening. I nodded.
"When all is well." I repeated.
"Yes! Now go!" Psyche snapped. I turned and ran out the throne room. I ran off the edge and lightened my landing using my wings, my left foot in its corresponding stirrup. I swung back into the saddle and turned my horse, before galloping off the Eldin Field. I heard cries of 'Get out of the way!' as Wings and I flew through the Thoroughfare and the East Road. The Guard heard what was coming before he saw us, and by the time I arrived, the gate was wide open.
We sprinted across the bridge and I saw Zoras in the river.
What I wasn't prepared for, however, was the sight that was all over the field. I saw Ganondorf on his demon horse, and a glowing ball levitating an inch above his palm, he threw it back and from it spawned demon phantom knights. Link got knocked off of Epona. I swore, and replayed the knights over in my head.
I knew what to do.
"Let's go, Wings!" I whispered fiercely. He knew exactly what to do, and was galloping to catch up with Epona. I formed Nylios (with a pang concerning Kalle), and squeezed my legs tight against the exquisite saddle. Ganondorf began to form the ball again, and I summoned and ice arrow. I aimed at it, and let the arrow go. It froze and Ganondorf looked up, slowing his horse for a moment.
Zelda took her chance and shot him with a Light Arrow. Link and I took this chance to attack him. I twirled the bow and hit him with both pointy ends. Ganondorf urged the horse into a gallop, and we began to fall behind.
I listened to Wings for a moment, judging if he was tired or not. Neither he nor Epona were tired. I smiled, and we jumped a fence to keep up with Ganondorf. The ball was being formed, and I summoned another ice arrow. When the ball was large enough, I let it go at the same time that Zelda let go of her Light Arrow. We galloped up and hit him with our swords, and he gasped, letting his body go limp and the horse lumbered onward, until they fell on their sides.
He stood up, and we all dismounted from the horses. Link drew the Master Sword and advanced towards Ganondorf.
"How many battles have you gone through?" I asked Zelda, as I grabbed Epona's reins, steadying the skittish horse. "Shh, it's okay, girl. Everything is gonna be okay. . . Shh. . ." Though animals can't understand your words, they register your tone. So, remember that, if you ever have to calm a panicked animal, don't panic yourself, they can sense how you feel.
"This will be the, third or fourth, I think." Zelda whispered, eyes intently focused on the two.
"This is the fourth!" They (Ganondorf and Link) yelled back at us together.
With a simple raise of his hand, there was a barrier between him and Link, and Zelda, the horses and I. Now I know how Kalle felt.
How useless one felt.
How useless one felt when the realization when hits that you can't help.
There's a barrier.
You can't control the outcome.
It keeps you out, and them in.
You can control nothing in the battle.
They can't rely on you.
He's own his own.
Ely, let him spread his wings and fly. He's not that little Ordon boy, anymore. He's a hero and you know it! You can't baby him!
I'm not babying him! I defended. I just want to be able to settle in his arms. Psyche, I love him-
And you can't bear to lose him. He's not a baby! He can handle this!
So, Midna is okay?
Midna is fine. Still your worries, child.
"An impressive-looking blade. . . But nothing more. Would you hear my desire? To take this foul blade. . .and use it to blot out the light forever!" Ganon smirked, and the battle begun. Their blades clashed and sparks began to fly between the steel. My nails dug into my palm, leaving half-moon marks in their wake.
Please, Link, don't you dare die on me!
Once you kill Ganondorf, we can finally be together. Please, Link. . .
Ganondorf fell to the ground, and Link delivered the finishing blow, stabbing Ganondorf through the chest. His mouth opened in the wide O of a scream. Link withdrew, and the villain staggered to his feet. "Do not think this ends here. . ." He yelled. "The history of light and shadow will be written in blood!"
Twilight had begun to fall, and Ganondorf's death was unavoidable. All we waited for was for him to draw his last breath. He did, after staring at the sky for a few moments.
It was official.
In the hour of Twilight, Ganondorf was defeated.
The barriers dropped, and I ran forward to embrace him. He grinned slyly at me. "Ganondorf's dead. . ."
My grin matched his own, and we shared a short kiss. He looked at me for a moment, before his eyes widened at something behind me. His hands grabbed mine, and we sprinted up the hill. Standing before us was a beautiful Twili woman. "What? Say something! Am I so beautiful that you've no words left?"
"Midna?" I gasped.
She smiled and spread her arms wide. "This is the real me, the one before the imp."
"Midna!" Link gasped. "You're beautiful!"
She smiled, "Thanks, Link."
"They were celebrating long before you beat Ganondorf." I informed Link and Zelda, who had come up to us. "How about we go give them something to celebrate about?"
Zelda smiled, and straightened her back, even more than it was normally. Conscious of my own horrid posture, I straightened my own back. "That seems nice. I will also have to make restoration plans."
"I'll see if I can pull in some favors from Cateline." I said slowly, "After all, one of my best friends is getting married to the Prince!"
"Really?" Link asked.
"Remember Rennifer?"
"She's marrying the Prince? Her outfit was so, no offense, but it was pretty plain compared to the others."
We started to leave the field.
I'm sick. So I got to stay home from school today! Yay! I'm supposed to get out of class in 18 minutes (2:45) but then I'd have soccer, so I'm on my bed. It's a bad day to be sick, though, it's so fricking NICE outside where I am!
