Chapter 10
The dark being continued his journey up Death Mountain, passing by various Knights and leaving them to be trampled by his Tektites, because he had a mission to accomplish. Once he reached the main Goron dwelling area, the dark being took a knee on the reddish ground next to a Goron male. He then silently chanted, calling dark magic onto him self. Sensing the descendent of the wise man who lived here, and kept their seal active.
After a few seconds he found it to be the Goron next to him. He quickly surveyed the area making sure that no other Goron was within an earshot. He was a few Centimeters taller than he, and defiantly much wider. No matter, must free the master the being thought to him self. He quickly began casting a spell sleep on the Goron. The Chieftain began to sway to and fro, and finally became a ball and crashed down apon the ground. With this done he cast a shadow spell onto the Goron before any of his comrades could see that he had be rendered unconscious. Quickly he again called up his spell of crystallization, and caused the Goron Chieftain to become crystallized. After the Goron had been crystallized he cast the spell of miniaturization apon the crystal, and it shrank to a more portable size.
The dark figure quickly pocketed the crystal and quickly ran up the trail that lead to the lip of the soon to be active volcano, where the Northern seal resisted. After a few minutes the dark minion of Ganon reached the top of the Mountain/Volcano and brought forth the crystal that contained the Goron Chieftain. He began chanting a spell and held the crystal out. Lightning began thundering between the seal and the crystal in the dark beings hand. After a few seconds, the seal was broken and a quake began to shake the land. The cloud around Death Mountain turned into a dark cloud that engulfed the mountain. The being made a hasty retreat before the deadly volcano would start spewing out lava.
********************************************************************************************
Link and the Owl were almost down the mountain, when Link fell face first onto the ground. The ground beneath him started shaking violently. The Owl spoke, "The Northern Seal has been broken, quickly get up! There are only four more, if he breaks those Ganon will rise,"
The quake ended a few seconds later, and Link quickly got to his feet. He sniffed the air and looked up and saw ash descending from the top of Death Mountain. Link started to sprint down the remaining part of the mountain, looking behind him from time to time to make sure that they were not going get clobbered by lava. Link reached the bottom of the road and saw the Goron still standing guard.
"Excuse me, I didn't catch your name but I would recommend getting out of here, Death Mountain just blew" Link said to the Goron.
The Goron unraveled himself from the ball he was in. He turned to look at Link and said, "I know, and I must stay here to make sure that no one goes up the mountain, please come by me quickly," The large Goron urged. Once Link and the Owl (Whom had made him self invisible to all but Link), went passed the Goron, he quickly became a ball again to prevent anyone from going up the mountain.
After they had gone a couple of meters Link Saw Death Mountain start to spew out Lava. Links heart sunk, All those innocent Goron's, and my fellow Knights are going to die because of my inability to listen to my self, and instead being hard headed. Link sat down and pulled his knees to his chest, put his arms on his legs and rested his head on his forearms, and started to moan.
"There is nothing you could have done Link, even if we had found the Master sword, you wouldn't have been able to stop him here," the owl consoled.
"I know, but all of those innocents had to die! And for what? NOTHING!" Link exclaimed.
"Well if you want to prevent more death then you're going to need to get off the ground and we're going to need to find the sword. It's going to take longer because you don't have a horse, nor that hover contraption. So we'll have to work on foot," the owl explained calmly.
"You're right," Link said as he got raised him self off of the ground and brushed himself off.
With that the started walking toward the Lost Woods…

The land didn't stop shaking for a full 20 minutes so Zelda stayed in her rooms hardened shelter until it had stopped. Zelda quickly ran out of her room after the quake had ended and she immediately went to see her father. She walked down the hall of the old palace. She passed through and tried to look more confident than she felt, for the people here looked to the royalty of Hyrule for strength, and keeping the morale of Hyrule's subjects was more important than her own dwindled spirits.
She made a quick left and arrived at the thrown room. The earthquake had caused the automated defense system to activate. The defense system shut all entrances to the Thrown room with a solid steel door that was the strongest that could be produced by current technological feats. She went to the panel beside the door and put her hand on the panel. The panel quickly scanned her hand and said, "Please verify identity".
"Zelda, 1134890" she replied.
"Working please wait…Access granted, you have 20 seconds to enter once the door has opened," the computer said. After that the door quickly rose to allow her access. She quickly went through the door and the door slammed closed behind her.
Zelda entered the room and saw her father sitting on his thrown with a very somber expression on his face. He looked up and saw his beloved daughter and gave her a brave smile and said, "Hello my darling. I have terrible news," the king said.
"What is it? I felt the quake, was there much damage caused by it?" Zelda inquired, knowing something was wrong.
"The Death Mountain Volcano has become active, apparently there was a seal on the volcano it self. The seal was broken and it has started erupting. I have no idea what's going to happen to the Goron people, but I can only fear for the worse," her father explained and shook his head.
The blood from the princess's face drained and she felt as if she was going to pass out. Link is on Death Mountain, I hope he is alright, oh stop that Zelda! Hundreds of Goron's probably just died and all you can think of is some cute boy! She scolded her self, and tried to keep her bearings, however her body wasn't listening to her and she started to fall back. The door behind her opened and the Duke of the court entered and grabbed her before she hit the ground.
"Oh my princess one must be careful for a nasty fall such as that could be very detrimental to your health," Duke Agahnim said snidely.
A chill ran up Zelda's spine at the touch of his hands on her shoulders. I hate Agahnim, he gives me the creeps the princess thought to her self. Then "Said thank you so much, I wouldn't want to slip and hurt my self," the Princess said sarcastically.
"Now, now you two, behave yourselves," the King said.
"Yes sire," the Duke said apologetically and bowed. He turned his head to the side and winked at Zelda.
Zelda stuck her tongue out in disgust and did a 180 and the system scanned her palm and let her exit.
"I'm sorry sire, but I heard about the incident on Death Mountain and I wanted to see if there is anything I could help you with my lord," the Duke said as he lifted his large torso up from the bow. In the back of his head he silently steamed, That snotty bitch will get hers soon, so very soon…
