"Come on! It's just-"

Lily stopped at the top of the hill. Everything was in ruin, Hyrule Castle was gone, nothing moved. The damage done to this small portion of Hyrule, was far greater than Lily thought it had been.

Floating above a hugh pool of lava was Ganon's Castle. A black stone wall surrounded the center tower, which was nearly twice as tall as Hyrule Castle had been.

They walked towards the ruined staircase and looked up towards the large door standing before them.

'Link, can you hear me?'

'Rauru?' Link replied

'Link, we six Sages shall gather our power together to create a bridge to the castle.'

'You can do that?'

'We are Sages, you know.'

'Of course.'

'But there somethings I must tell you. The castle's keep, known as Ganon's Tower, is protected by six evil barriers.'

'We've got to bring down the barriers to get into the tower?'

'Correction, you alone, must bring down the barriers.'

'Alone?'

'Yes. Now go save Princess Zelda!'

A shower of color fell across the gap between them and the door into the castle. A bridge of light stretched out from the stairs to the doorway.

"Was that the Sages?" Lily asked.

"Yes." Link replied. "And now we can go into the castle. Lets go!"


Link lead the way into the castle, down the stairs and into the main room. A short stone bridge lead to the enterance of the tower.

Six beams of light shot out from above the doors around the room. One beam to each door, yellow, green, red, blue, orange and purple, each representing an element.

"What now?" Nathen asked.

"We should try and destroy those beams of light." Link said. "They're creating a shield around the tower."

"Okay, lets start with the Light beam."

"We can't reach that door though." Randy said, walking around to the staircase on the left. "There's a hugh brick in the way."

"A brick?"

They all walked around to see that a tall pillar of ebony blocked the door into the Light chamber.

"Ahh, I see what you mean." Lily sighed.

"There's a way to move it." Navi said. "You'll need-"

"Some treasure that's been lost for years." Link finished. "And is a legend and most likely doesn't even exist?"

"Yes, but-"

"We'll find it at some point, Navi. Don't freak out about it."

"Should we perhaps split up?" Nathen asked.

"It's not a good idea." Randy said. "We don't want to lose each other, and Lily is at the most risk of being captured at the moment, so we can't lose sight of her."

"True."

"I can take care of myself." Lily protested.

"Ahh, but can you defeat a dark lord by yourself, when you become paralyzed by the necklace?"

"...Fine. We'll stick together."

"I think...I think I should do this alone." Link said.

"Alone?"

"Yeah. This was my quest to start with, I should be the one to finish it."

"You're not going to do it alone. Don't forget, I've got more life experience than you."

"And we're not leaving." Nathen said. "Not so long as Lily is still here."

"Can't leave a fellow knight to face the music alone." Randy said. "Not a knight, a friend, or...someone who's more than a friend."

"Besides," Lily laughed. "You'll need help to defeat Ganondorf, won't you?"

"I guess you're right, but..." Link sighed. "Something feels wrong."

"Don't worry about it too much." Randy said. "Keep the job at hand in focus, and you'll do fine."

"Okay. Lets go."


Yeah, it's a short chapter with no excitment. But don't worry, next few chapters will have more excitment and blood and all that good stuff. Next update should be around the 20th.
