"Light, forest, fire, water, spirit and shadow." Yara sighed. "All of the seals are been broken."
"Com' on!" Randy exclaimed. "The longer we take, the more chance Ganondorf will take the Triforce of Wisdom from the Princess!"
The magic barrier had folded up, giving the group access to the center tower. They ran across the short stone bridge and entered into a small chamber.
A staircase began to the left side of the room. A blood red carpet led up the stairs. Somewhere in the distance, was the sound of an organ being played. A dark, evil melody that sent chills through Link's spine.
The reached the top of the stairs and entered into the next room. Two Dinolfos stood in the room waiting for them. These two were easy to defeat.
The next door opened and another staircase came into view. At the top, was another door. In this room, a blue and gold chest was surrounded by fire.
Two Stalfos faced them now. Once again, the creatures were easily killed. The fire vanished and Randy opened the chest to pull out a gold key.
"Is this all we do?" Randy asked, turning around. "Just--Nathen, behind you!"
Nathen whirled around just in time to block an attack. Standing before them was...Nathen?!
"What the..." Lily growled.
"It's Nathen's Shadow." Link said. "His darkside."
"Nathen-"
"Get going!" Nathen snarled, "You three get to Ganondorf, I'll take care of this guy."
None of them moved, except for the Shadow, who leaped at Nathen. Nathen kicked the boy to the ground.
"Go!" Nathen growled. "I'll be fine, just get going!"
The others ran towards the open door, but Tael didn't leave Nathen. The remaining five ran up the stairs into the next room. Two Iron Knuckles stood in their path now, one white the other black.
The Iron Knuckles took a bit longer to defeat. They went towards the next door. Something wrapped itself around Randy's leg and pulled him to the ground.
"Randy!" Lily exclaimed.
Randy was being pulled by a strand of darkness, into a hole in the floor.
"Go!" Randy yelled. "Go and save the Princess!"
Randy vanished into the hole. Yara looked to the hole, to Lily and back again, then she dived into the hole as well.
"Yara!" Navi exclaimed.
"She knew." Lily sighed. "She knew what I was about to ask her."
"Come on! We've got to hurry!" Link exclaimed.
They ran up the stairs. The next door was locked with a gold lock, which they unlocked with the key. They ran to the next door and up the next staircase, to the top.
The last door stood before them. It opened and they entered. This room was large, larger than the other rooms had been.
On the other side of the room was the organ, being played by a man in black armour, Ganondorf, the King of Evil.
Floating above the organ, locked away in a pink cyrstal was Princess Zelda.
"Link, your hand!" Lily gasped.
Link held up his left hand. A gold triangle was set into the back of his hand. It was as Zelda had said, Link was the keeper of the Triforce of Courage.
"The Triforce pieces are resonating..." Ganondorf said, leaving the organ in silence. "They're combining into one again..."
"The two Triforce pieces that I could not capture on that day seven years ago..." he sighed. "I didn't expect they'd be hidden within you two!"
"Yeah, well, you should have thought better!" Lily yelled. "Would've been better to try and find them, rather than me, since I didn't have either piece!"
"Now, finally, all the Triforce pieces have gathered here!" Ganondorf continued as if he hadn't heard Lily. "And you've brought my bride back to me in one piece, how lovely."
"I'm not your bride, Ganondorf!"
"No, she isn't!" Link growled.
"Rather big talk for a weakling." Ganondorf growled as he turned to face them. "These toys are too much for you to handle. I command you to return them to me!"
Yes, everyone, I'm stopping it there! But don't worry, I'll be updating as soon as I've finished the last chapters, and I'm almost done so the next update shall be on the 23rd or the 24th!
