Chapter 20; Wisdom and Courage
Link's POV
"C'm on, we can't waste any more time." I said, hopping onto Epona's back. Midna went into my shadow, so it would make things easier. I kicked at her sides lightly, and we headed in the direction of Ordon. Across the bridge and into northwestern Hyrule Field. There were no monsters in the Field, and it was going to take a while for all of us to get there. So I had some time to think to myself.
All of this happening, why did the Fierce Deity want to do this anyway? Revenge maybe, but for what? It was all too confusing to me. And its name sounded like it came from some kind of story book. Or maybe a nightmare, because that thing certainly looked like it was from one.
Aden, he was a strange person. He shows up one day with Midna, and everything turns out terrible. My village, ruined and destroyed along with some lives. Then he goes to Castle Town, and the same thing happens there. It seems like everywhere Aden goes, he is being hunted down.
But what did Zant mean when he said that Aden started all of this? He couldn't have, could he? But then again, Midna said that there was some sort of bright light that took him away when they were kids. If only she remembered more, then we would be able to find out the truth of this, and him.
But for now, I trust him, because he is Midna's friend. And any friend of Midna is a friend of mine. We were now in Western Hyrule Field, going quickly across the green grass blades down to the south. Midna was still silent, and it seemed like she didn't want to talk. So, more thinking I guess.
I took my left hand off of Epona's reins and looked at it. My Triforce mark was now split into eight pieces, with one half of the Triforce of Courage glowing gold. This must be my piece. I didn't notice this when I was back in Ordon, how did this happen?
Aden said something about the three Golden Goddesses, but how did he know about that? He must be playing some sort of bigger part in this, I just hoped that the part was on our side. I put my hand back on the rein. We were almost too southern Hyrule Field now.
I now began to think, who would these other Triforce bearers be? Adri said that she didn't come here alone, and that she came here with some friends, whoever they were. Maybe those would be the other bearers? But then, something occurred to me.
Who has the other Power half?
Two years ago, Ganondorf had the whole Triforce of Power. But now he's dead, and his piece must have went to someone else. So who is it? I wasn't sure who had the other half of the Triforce of Power, but I hoped that that person was going to be on our side.
We were now in southern Hyrule Field, and I now had a clear view of Ordon from here. There was still smoke, and I could smell it from here. Ash, raining down from the sky. I pulled my tunic up to my face so I wouldn't breathe it in. I didn't want to go back here, but I have no choice.
Approaching the Faron Providence quickly, I decided to check to see if Midna was okay.
"Midna, you okay?" I asked. She said a slight "hm?" then without coming out of her shadow, she said, "Yeah, I'm fine."
She still seemed depressed, and I couldn't blame her. But she had to get out of her mood soon, because we were almost there now. I decided to stop, I didn't need Epona to bring me any closer. I pulled back on the reins, and she slowed down to a halt.
I hopped off Epona, and walked in front of her. I stroked her head, and she seemed to like it. I coughed from the ash, I forgot to keep my tunic up. I took my hand away from Epona and onto my tunic, and lifted it up.
"Hey Midna, turn me int' a wolf please." I asked. Silently, she came out of my shadow and next to me. She took out the cursed crystal, and tapped it onto my forehead. My bones shifted around again, quicker and a little less painful this time. My tongue grew, and I got down onto all fours. After these brief seconds of pain, I was turned back into a wolf.
Thankfully this time, Midna wasn't an imp. So I didn't need any sort of weight on my back the entire time. Strangely enough, I gotten used to that after a couple days two years ago. I looked at my wolf body, and tried to walk again. I was able to get used to it quickly, thank the goddesses.
I looked up to Epona, and told her, "Epona, go back to the Hidden Village, it's too dangerous to bring you with us, or wait here." It may have sounded like barks to Midna, but it was regular talk to me and Epona.
"Okay Link, be safe. Both of you. Good luck." Then she turned around and ran back the way we came. Midna turned me back into my human form without me asking, and when I did, I looked over to her. We didn't say anything, we knew what we had to do.
Midna went back into my shadow, probably to get herself away from the smoke and ash. I looked into the entrance of Faron, and walked in. The sky becoming darker and darker as I go on because of the smoke. Heh, like returning to some sort of forgotten past. Yet for me, it is not forgotten, and it will never be.
I walked past Coro's hut, destroyed and empty. But I knew that he was probably safe right now. After the invasion two years ago, me and Coro talked from time to time. So about one week ago, he told me that he was going to visit his sister up in the Lanayru providence. I just hope that his sister was protecting him, and he wasn't a Twilit Beast.
ROOOOOOAAAAAAAHHH
Speaking of Twilit Beasts…
Four Twilit Beasts appeared, and came rushing towards me. I was ready though, putting my hand on my sheathed sword, waiting for the right moment. Closer and closer, the beasts came bounding towards me. Then…. NOW! I quickly unsheathed my sword, and used the Mortal Draw to quickly cut through the first two Twilit Beasts. They fell down instantly.
Then, one of the beasts slammed its fist into my stomach, and I was sent flying backwards! I landed on the ground, and I did an unintentional roll across it. My stomach was churning, and I was taking deep breaths. Dear goddesses that hurt! I haven't felt like this in a long time!
Midna came out of my shadow, and just stared at the Twilit Beasts. She didn't check to see if I was okay, and she didn't. I got over this feeling in the past, and I've been through worse. Instead, she took off her hood. She swung her right hand up on her side, and her hair began to glow. Suddenly, it morphed into her giant hair hand!
She was still able to do that? I thought that she could only do that when she was an imp! I didn't think about it that much though, my stomach was still hurting, like I got hit by a flying boulder! I felt like I was about to throw up! But I managed to open my eyes a little to see what was going on.
Midna was crushing one of the beasts with her hair, while the other one somehow got knocked back farther away from her. The free one got up, and rushed towards her once again. To defend herself, she threw the crushed beast at the free one. The free one got crushed, and then the exploded into Twilit Particles.
I was still breathing heavily, and it hurt to move, but I got up anyways. As I did, Midna's hair hand retracted, and went back to normal. She put her hood back up. She looked back to me, and she didn't look happy. She was really serious, and was frowning as she walked over to me. "Let's just get the Master Sword and get out of here."
I didn't know what to say, so I just began to walk. And I immediately began to ask questions.
"How can you still do that?!" I asked.
"The Shade." She said flatly. It looked like she didn't want to talk, so I guess I shouldn't either. So, we just went through the forest, not saying anything to each other the entire way through.
Adri's POV
BOOOOOOOM
We all flew backwards, what the heck was that?! I wake up from almost dying and almost get killed again?! I skidded to a halt on my side, thankfully not getting hurt. But that explosion must have been gigantic, we flew all the way to the small part of land near the hut! 'Alright, who did that? Cuz whoever did, is gonna get their butt kicked!'
Then there was a cackle, a cackle that sounded way too familiar! And when I heard it, I clenched my fists in anger! And try to guess who that cackle was from.
…Yup, your not-so-friendly neighborhood psychopath Zant!
I looked up, and he was there, just floating in the air. Oh hey, that rhymed. I got up onto my feet, thankful about Aden fixing me up, who happened to be getting up as well a couple feet away from me along with Zelda. I could feel power surging through me as I got angry, with my Triforce mark glowing again.
"So, you're back again, huh?" I said, gathering up my magic for a fireball. Just staying in the air, he said, "I made the mistake of letting you win last time, do you know what it is like trying to find a place to sleep in this filthy light re-AAAAAAAAAGH!"
I would have let him go on and talk about his sleeping problems, (I probably would have found it hilarious) but I hate his guts. Especially for what he said yesterday! Wait, was that yesterday? How long was I out? I'll make sure to ask later.
"Hey, that's no fair! I wasn't done talking!" Heh, he sounded even funnier when he was angry. Think of his voice like a like, uhhhh, can't exactly think of anything to compare it to. So just listen to his "getting hit" scream in Hyrule Warriors, and you will know what I mean.
"In case you were off in Lala Land, this isn't 'Sleep Club' you old prick!" I yelled. You could just hear the shock in his voice when I said that, he gasped, and said, "You didn't."
"I did. And what're ya goin to do about it?"
I would regret saying that later. He glowed a dark shade of purple again, and I could make out a tiny bit of red in there. But that was probably just me over analyzing. He created a purple and blue energy orb, and lifted it up into the air.
?'s POV
I could hear an explosion from above us, and I don't think it came from inside the temple. It must have come from the surface, I hope that everything is okay up there. But I was stuck down here with the Zora's eating some fish. At least that answered the question of what they eat. (At first I thought of it as cannibalism, but they explained it to me)
My right hand was itching for some reason, and I just shrugged it off until I saw, my Triforce mark. This was weird, why was it reacting now? I looked at my half piece, and it glowed blue. "Those are your friends, you have to get up there!"
Nayru?! How was she talking to me now? Well, I probably shouldn't question it now, since she is a goddess and all. The blue glow went away, and I put my hand back down. If Nayru was telling the truth, and why wouldn't she, then that means some other people are up there! I don't know who, but it was probably another person with a Triforce piece!
I didn't waste any time, I got up, grabbed my case, made sure the baton was in there, and ran to the entrance. Thank goodness that no other kids stole it again, who knows what happened up there with them playing with it?!
I ran past the other Zoras, catching some odd looks from both adults and children. But I kept running, down the steps and through the door that led to the waterway to outside. I didn't even waste any time with the stairs on the side, I leapt off the ledge that had the lever, and onto the ground.
"Halt" oh dang it, I forgot about the guard!
"Listen man, I have to get out of here and back to the surface!"
"Logan, I have strict orders not to let anything in, or out of this temple straight from Prince Rails! If I let you out, that will be disobeying his orders!" ugh, I don't have time for this!
"Sorry man, but I have to get out there!" I got out my case, and pulled out the Wind Waker. I stepped back, and began the melody.
Left Center
"Logan, what are you doing?"
Right
"No, STOP!"
Center
He bolted into a straight position, acting like one of those guards from England. "You will help me reach the surface, before I run out of breath." I commanded. He said nothing, and did not nod. He simply turned around, and hopped into the water, waiting for me to go in as well.
I put the Wind Waker back in its case, I could not afford to lose or break it. It is the only way of remembering Lana and the others. I just hope that it won't break anytime soon. I shoved the case into my jean shorts pocket, and ran into the water. Before we headed out, he handed me something.
It was a Zora scale. I didn't know what to do with it, since I have never even touched a Zora before. Well, besides Ruto, but I mean now.
"Press it onto your neck." He said blandly, like some sort of computer program. I guess he knew what he was doing, so I pressed it onto my ne-Oh My GOD THAT HURTS! It felt like it was burning into my skin! I took my finger off of it as fast as I did putting it on. Surprisingly, it didn't fall off. I had no idea what happened.
"What did that thing do?" I asked the guard.
"It will help you hold your breath longer underwater." Huh, interesting. Oh well, we had to get a move on! I took a really deep breath, and went underwater. I grabbed the guard's foot, and he shot through the water like a torpedo!
We were rushing through the water tunnel at lightning speeds, and I was struggling to get a grip on his leg. Zoras can just swim so fast! Although, I couldn't tell him to slow down now. I was fine though in terms of air, that Zora scale really helped!
Buuut I needed some air right then. Now I felt like I just got into the water in terms of air. Luckily, we were out of the tunnel entrance to the temple, and we were now swimming up to the surface. My slight need to breathe now became an urgency, as we were getting closer and closer to the surface. And right as I felt like my lungs were going to collapse, we broke the surface.
We were right next to that creepy clown guy's house, that guy with the cannon. Still creeps me out today, that guy. I looked to the guard and commanded, "You can go back to the other Zoras now." And he did what was told.
"I did, and what're ya going to do about it?"
Adri? She's here?! I swam to the side of the house, and saw four people. Three on the ground, and one in the air. On the ground was Adri, Zelda, and Aden? I think that's him, it was just what he was wearing. Some sort of cloak, it looked pretty cool though. Up in the air, was Zant. But he looked, different. His weird clothes were now a different color, white and purple instead of black and blue. But I wasn't worried about his clothes, I was worried about what he was doing.
He was charging up some sort of dark magic attack, and it was obvious about who he was aiming towards. So I quickly got out the Wind Waker, and began another melody.
Down Right Left Up
A swirling cyclone appeared under Zant, and he was automatically caught off guard. I lifted my baton, and the cyclone grew up to his level. He was flipping every way while he was spinning in the cyclone. But then, his dark orb flew into the center of Lake Hylia. I stopped in shock, and I could hear the cyclone stop as well.
I saw through the clear water, the orb fall and fall. Then, it hit the Lakebed Temple. There was a gigantic explosion, and the temple broke into hundreds of pieces. I floated there in horror, did I?
I-I just kille-d the Zoras?
"Nonono, nononononono!" This can't be happening, how could I do this?! They all just died, because of ME!
Zant's POV
What the Heck WAS THAT?! That cyclone came out of nowhere!? That couldn't have come naturally, WHO WAS THE BRAT THAT DID THAT?! I looked for the no good Hylean scum that did that, there. In the water. He was looking down into the water, some strange garb, and something in his hand.
No, was that, the, was he?! Oh that little brat is back?!
"YOU!"
He looked back up, and his expression was priceless! He was absolutely terrified of me! The look on his face, with his stupid brown hair! HAH! This certainly made up for seeing him again!
Now I just need to make sure he doesn't kill me again.
"heheh, HAHAHAHAHA! You SHOULD be afraid little brat!" I yelled, his face of fear turned into anger.
Uh oh.
Aden's POV
Wait, who was he talking to? I followed his eyes, and it went to the water. There was a guy in there, and he was holding something. But if Zant doesn't like him, that means he must be good, right? I have to believe it for now, time to save someone else!
"Is that?"-
I didn't let Adri finish talking, I rushed towards the guy, before anybody could do anything. I heard Zant say, "HEY!" and I could hear him doing something. Then, I saw the guy in the water do something with whatever he was holding. It looked like some sort of baton, or a white stick. But after a couple movements in the air, I heard some sort of explosion behind me.
I didn't turn around to see what it was, but call it a hunch, that was from that guy waving his thing around. I rushed to the edge of the weird floating house, and reached out to the guy with my hand. "Come on, hurry!"
He took my hand, and I pulled him out of the water. Once he got up, I pulled him along so we could run back to the others. "Thanks Aden!"
So he knows my name too?! Great, at least I know I can trust him now.
"Logan!" Adri yelled. We kept running, and Adri was shooting fireballs up at Zant. While it looked like Zelda was shooting some sort of, gold bow and arrows? They appeared out of nowhere, both the bow and the arrows. Whenever she prepared to shoot one, she seemed to pull it out of nowhere! And whenever she shot one, it sent a golden stream behind it in the air.
"Adri, thank god you're okay!" Logan said. So he knew Adri too? What, does he also know Princess Zelda? Well, no time to waste asking that, not right now at least. We ran up to them, and I let go of Logan. I turned back to Zant, and charged up my Pointed Shockwave, putting my arm across my chest.
"What are you guys doing here?!" I heard Logan say. I slashed out my finger, and the shockwave came out. But Zant countered it with one of his own attacks. I didn't let myself charge up any of the attacks, I just sent a barrage of shockwaves his way. I was swiping my arm through the air, sending small shockwave after small shockwave.
…You just tried doing that didn't you? Well, your arm got tired doing that after a couple seconds, right? Yeah, so I didn't last that long doing it. But as I was doing it, Zant and I were going blow for blow with each of our shots. None of them hit us, but when I couldn't use my arm anymore, I had to leap out of the way.
Somehow (I don't even know how I did it) I managed to do a roll and land on my feet. Don't know how I did that, don't have time to worry about it now. We were all trying to hit Zant, while Adri and Logan were talking away behind us.
"Adri, what's going on? Why the heck is Zant here?!"
She shot some fireballs, and said, "Long story short, we need to defeat the Fierce Deity and he revived Zant to be his minion."
"HEY! I was no minion, I was his partner!" Zant said, stopping his fire.
"Oh really? Then why did he try to kill you then?" Adri taunted, we all stopped our fire as well. This, was actually getting entertaining.
"SHUT UP!" aaand, we went back to firing. My pointed shockwave was really hard to do frequently, my arm was tired, and I was running out of energy. I had to find some other way to attack him. Maybe I could use some of my other "magic arts". I began to think…
Some energy shots came, and I used Nayru's Love. Maybe I could do something with Farore's Wind. I slowly came up with an attack, but it would be risky to do. But we are going nowhere with what we are doing right now, nobody hit anybody at all! So, might as well.
I did a little countdown in my head, '3..2..1' and I put down my crystal shield. I sprinted forward, before Zant could react. This was going to be REALLY risky, but you need to do that sometimes in life, right? I got close enough, and I jumped up, while using Farore's Wind.
I imagined myself right next to Zant, so I could use my attack. I seemed to know how to do this, yet the Hero's Shade didn't teach me how to do this. But it felt so, familiar to me! I felt a wind go through me, and I blacked out for a second. But I had to be ready for when I woke up. And when I did, I was right in front of Zant, and I kicked him in the gut!
I can't believe I managed to pull that off! But the way back down, wasn't exactly the best. Zant flew back in the air a couple feet, and I fell back down to the ground. I landed on my butt on the wooden pathway, and Zant did not look happy. He had his helmet off now, and had a furious look in his eyes as he was clutching his stomach.
I scrambled to get myself back onto my feet and back to the others, and accidentally tripped as I got back to them. "That was awesome Aden, how did you do that?!" Adri said as I was getting up. I saw that she was shooting some fireballs back at Zant again.
"No idea, call it a little instinct." I said.
"We are at a stalemate," Zelda said behind us. "the best course of action is if we retreat now."
I had to agree with Zelda on this one, none of us were hitting each other right now, and we would all run out of energy before we could defeat Zant, so I have to go with the bearer of Wisdom on this one.
I didn't even wait for the others to respond, I just stopped firing, grabbed Adri's and Zelda's hands, and ran in the other direction, hoping that Logan would follow too.
"GET BACK HERE!" Zant said like a maniac, and of course we didn't listen. I let go of Zelda's and Adri's wrists, to let them run at their own pace. Besides, I wasn't exactly the fastest runner in the group. I think that would be Adri, but that was just me. But I was soon proven wrong just for that, because Logan ran right past me! But he had something in his hand, and it wasn't that baton thing. It looked like some sort of flower? Why did he have that?
"Guys, idea!" he said. Wow, he came up with one just like that? Impressive.
"Zelda, do you know how to use this," he lifted up the weird little flower thing higher to show that he was talking about that. "to call some birds?" …okay, maybe that wasn't so impressive, I had no idea where he was going with this. We kept running, and we all raced to get to higher ground. I wasn't exactly sure what Zant was doing, until he somehow teleported next to us and fired again. I barely dodged a couple of them before I put up Nayru's Love.
"AAAUGH!"
I quickly turned to the only person that scream could have come from, Logan. His arm got hit with one of Zant's energy shots! It was purple around his wrist, and seeping farther and farther along his arm. Oh goddesses, he was NOT okay!
"Logan!" Adri screamed, while Zelda gave a somewhat quiet "Oh sweet Nayru!"
"Nrrgh," he gritted through his teeth, trying to ignore the pain. "Don't worry about me! Zelda, use this," he gave the weird flower thing to Zelda. "To call some birds. It might seem crazy, but trust me on this one!" Zelda took the strange flower, right as we were heading up and off another bridge.
I had to help Logan somehow, the strange purple stuff was slowly creeping up his arm, and judging by his face, it did not feel nice IN THE SLIGHTEST! He was groaning as he was running, clutching his arm like something went straight through it, like a sword or something. Then I remembered a couple minutes ago.
I was able to save Adri by using one of my memory orbs! Sure, I didn't know what I was doing at the time, but I still saved her! Maybe that can also work here! We were going onto yet another bridge, and Zant was still behind us, firing energy shots while I was blocking them with Nayru's Love. Thank goodness I could do this while running. But if I used a memory orb, then that would mean I would have to put this down. But if it meant that I could help out Logan, then I'll do it.
My legs were starting to get sore from all this running, and it was hard to keep a steady breath. In short, I was starting to get tired. I really hoped we didn't have to run for much longer, because I couldn't. But thank the goddesses, my prayer had been answered! There was a small cave approaching to our left!
"In there!" I said, and right as we got off the wooden walkway, we all dashed in. Although, it was probably a different reason for others. We found ourselves in some sort of cave, déjà vu for me. It was sort of dark, but there was still some light to see where we were. It looked like some sort of indoor pond, with some sort of wood (or stone, wasn't sure) roots growing in from the top. There was also something else here. Tiny, pink floating balls of light, and they had wings. These must be fairies!
All four of us separated to hide on the sides of the entrance. Me and Logan on one side, and Adri with Zelda on the other side. We all pinned ourselves on the wall, to get a little break while we hide. "Grrrvvv, fUck!"
Logan! I looked over to him, and the purple stuff almost covered his entire arm, with the fist that was on said arm in a fist to try and bear the pain. I had to help him! I put out my hands, and focused my energy into them. I had to focus, and help him heal, he did not sound good!
The spark appeared from my hands, and the memory orb slowly began to grow. I kept focusing my energy to make it grow larger, and larger. I prayed that Zant wouldn't come soon, so I can heal Logan's arm. Then, I heard some sort of whistling, with different pitches every couple seconds. This certainly wasn't from a human, was it some sort of… object?
It was coming from Zelda, she was using the weird flower thing to make the whistling noise! Why was she doing that?! She'll give us away! Back to Logan, the memory orb completely engulfed his arm. I reached inside, and touched one of the remaining parts that wasn't completely engulfed by the purple substance, and the gray glow came again.
The gray faded away, and I looked at Logan's arm again. I was right, the memory orb WAS able to heal things like that! Logan's arm was all fixed up, the purple substance was completely gone! And so was the whistling from Zelda, but something was new here.
Zant. He was floating above the pond, and he had his scimitars out, ready to fight. We were ALL about to run, but then, we froze. No, seriously, we just froze. We couldn't move at all, but we could breathe and look around.
I was facing the exit, so I couldn't see what was going on. All I could do, was listen.
"You four have managed to get on my list of the people I despise, but lucky you, none of you are on the top. I think you can guess who that is now. But now, I have you all where I want you. I was thinking of giving you a quick, painful death, but you have all earned an even longer one! And I shall start, with you."
Which one of us was he talking about? It didn't sound like he was behind me, so it must be someone else. But I couldn't freaking see because of Zant's spell, so which one of us was it?!
"Logan, the 'Conductor Tactician', what a stupid name. And yet, you stuck to it just to have a 'Title'. The stupid baton, you didn't even earn it! It was just given to you for pity from your supposed 'friends'! And yet, you STILL were able to KILL me! Do you know how it feels to die, TWICE?! Well now, I'm going to make you suffer!"
"SKIIIAAAAAA"
Midna's POV
After more walking and a couple more Twilit Beasts, we arrived at where we needed to be. The entrance to the Lost Woods. The big fire from Link's village thankfully hadn't spread this far, but the ash was still falling down from the smoke filled sky. Let's just get this over with, I need to make sure that Aden is still okay.
I used a levitation spell without Link asking, and brought us around the side. I just wanted to get this over with, so I kept going as I went over the bridges. They would just slow us down either way. I began to feel tired, but I kept going.
Wait, what was that? Or more accurately, WHO was that? There was somebody waiting on the other side of the small gorge, a person. As we got closer, we could see that she had some sort of weapon. It looked like a stick or something, or a spear. She was holding it while she was leaning against the stone wall. But the part that made me confused the most was what she was wearing. Her clothes look like Aden's and his friends! Well, somewhat like them.
She had long, blue pants like Adri's, and a strange shirt. It was mostly black, besides something in the center. It looked like a shield, covered up with what looked like blue and black wings. Was it a symbol from where she came from?
When we reached the girl, she did nothing. I thought that she would ask who we were, but she just did nothing. But her closed eyes revealed that she was actually sleeping. I looked at Link, and he looked back at me. I just wanted to get this over with, but she could also be important. She could be one of Aden's friends. We nodded at each other, and Link stepped forward to the girl.
"uh, miss? Hello?"
She still kept sleeping, I'm honestly surprised she hasn't fell to the ground yet. But when Link put his hand on her shoulder however…
"mmmmph, huh?" the girl slowly opened her eyes, and when they were halfway open, she jumped back (or, to the side) and aimed her We both stepped back a little, neither of us expected this to happen! But right as I was going to tell her to calm down, she gasped and dropped her stick lance.
"Sorry! Sorry, I'm so sorry!" she put up her hands to apologize. "I wasn't sure if you guys were monsters or something, I was a little jumpy."
"Oooookay them. Are you lost? How did you get here?" I asked.
"It's a long story Midna, and"-
"Wait a minute, how do you know my name?!"
"Another long story, and you certainly won't believe me if I told you two. Oh, and my name's Lora, if you were wondering."
I was a little, confused. But then again, I was even more confused by Adri, so I guess she is okay?
"Well, at least you don't tackl' me lik'a maniac. Nice t' meet ya Lora." Link put out his hand, and Lora shook it. I could see a slight blush coming from Lora's face, looks like Adri isn't the only one that has a crush on Link.
"So," Link let go of her hand. "what're you doin' out here?"
Lora scratched the back of her head. "I woke up in there a couple days ago, but I remember why I'm here. I came here to find Aden, and help him. Bu"-
"GRRRRRUUUUUUUUHHH"
What the heck was that?! It sounded like it came from the tunnel. From, the Lost Woods.
"That thing attacked me! I knew what it was, a gohma I also saw something else in there, while I was running away. It looked like someone chained up, and whoever that was wasn't moving. I had to run, since I couldn't beat that thing with this." She said as she picked up her stick lance.
"I want to help whoever that was, but I can't beat it with this measly thing! So, I just waited out here." She looked down, she really wanted to help that person, but then something hit me. We came here to get the Master Sword, but that person could be one of the Golden Goddesses! If we help her, we could get three of the things we need at once!
"We'll help you Lora, we need something else in there too." Link said, nodding and putting his hand on his sheathed sword. Lora looked up, and had a small smile on her face.
"Thanks guys."
"Alright, if you two say so, then I'll go with you." I said, earning a smile from both of them.
"Alright, let's go!" Link said, as he headed into the tunnel, with Lora and I close behind.
I just want to say, I am SO SORRY! There has just been so much going on the past couple weeks, and not just vacation! Splatoon's Splatfest, (Woof woof mutha squidas!) hanging out with my friends, and binge watching Steven Universe! Yes, I had to, since tomorrow is StevenBombityFalls! Seriously, so many things happened and are going on right now! So for missing my quota two weeks in a row, I decided to write this extra-long chapter to make up for it! I hope it does. Anyways, R,R&S everyone! Goodbye!
