The Final Battle
Chapter 36: The Fall of the Shadow
Link ran forward, angrily. He flipped high over Bongo, and hit am arrow at his eye. He took out his lens of truth, and put it up. There he was. He shot another arrow at his hand, and rolled away from his other.
The Hero of Winds helped Orca up, and they ran forward to help the Hero of Time take the shadow down. Both heroes flipped opposite ways, passed each other in mid air, and landed. Both show arrows at a different hand, and both whipped out a Light Arrow. Both were fired. Both hit. Both vanished him.
Orca blocked a blow from a White Demon. The wooden handle melted in Orca's hands. The Demon walked forward, baring its teeth. It stabbed Orca with a sword, and kicked him away.
"NO!" The Hero of Winds yelled. He ran towards Orca, stabbing the Demon on his way. He turned him over, "Orca, master."
"Link, you"-
"Come on, get up," Link begged.
"I… can't," Orca said tiredly.
"No, don't talk like"-
"Link, listen to me," Orca said, eyes fading. "You are no longer my student. You are no longer a… ah… a knight. You are a Master Swordsman. You are a true hero to fight as well as you did."
"I'm no hero," Link denied. "Link is. He cast down a lot more evil than me."
"It doesn't matter," Orca said, taking Link's head. "Listen, listen to me. You had training. He learned himself. He learned a difficult way. You had professional training. It matters. He might be the real hero, but you now worthy of his partner. You… you're a hero too. Now, lay me to rest in peace."
