Chapter 17
The Dark being began working his way from Kakariko village after his evil work was completed there. The master only has two more beings to be captured before he is freed the creature thought to himself. The creature began sprinting as fast as he could trough the still night, lit by the moon and the newly active Volcano to the north. He forced him self forward his feet falling silently against the plains of Hyrule.
The creature passed through the land invisible to all using the night as his cloak of darkness. His body pulsed with dark magic as he drew closer to his next foe that would bring him closer to completing his mission and freeing his master. The dark creature closed in apon the Elite Knights base, where he found his next victim.
As he approached the man, he could not help but sneer at the sight before him. The man before him was a high ranking member of the Elite Knights, but his green uniform was ripped to shreds and covered in dirt and filth. He was collapsed on the ground before him and saved him the trouble of having to make him unconscious, for he could detect that the man was near death as it was.
The dark creature investigated the surrounding area to make sure that no one else was coming. To keep any one from interfering, the dark creature began casting a spiel of night. A slight tremor began going through the land around him, and he could feel the dead creatures bones that resided in the plains of Hyrule begin to combine into mighty foes which would wreak havoc on anyone whom passed through the surrounding area for many kilometers.
With that done the evil creature went to the man laying outside just outside of the base and began his evil work which would break the final bond for his master. Once this was done he would only have to get the seventh sage to completely release his master from the nether dimension he had been trapped in for six centuries, and Hyrule would know the true meaning of misery…

Below the Knights Base…
Link stepped forward to the platform which was before him. Link stepped up to the center of the great circle which held the Master Sword. The sword which caused evil to dispel from anyone whom had it in their grasp. The sword which would be the instrument that would put this evil to an end.
Link eyed the sword and was awed because this sword was one which he had seen a dream. He could hear the sword calling to him to take it. He put his hand over the sword and the tattoo on his hand began glowing gold. Link lowered his hand to the sword and grabbed the base of sword with his right hand.
When his hand touched the sword he felt power like one which he had never felt before flow through his entire being. Link pulled the sword from the stone slowly, and the sword made a sharp SHIIINNK as he pulled the deadly weapon from its six hundred year home. He felt energy pump through his body like nothing he had felt before.
Immediately his body began glowing with golden energy and the blade forced his hand up and he began to rise into the air. Link was confused and tried to let the sword go, but the sword had control of his body. He continued higher into the room toward the light which stood above the platform. When the sword had taken him halfway to the light, the sword started spinning in his hand and with it he started spinning. Link felt his consciousness leave him, and felt him self transported…

Near the Knights base…
The Dark Creature loomed over the body of the broken man before him. He quickly put his hands out and began chanting the encapsulation spell that would surround the mans body into crystal form, suspending him in that form.
The spell was taking longer than normal, probably because this was one of the more powerful sages. Annoyed man started chant the spell over and over again, calling in all of his dark magic and the body started to crystallize. The crystal was yellow this time, instead of being clear.
The man began chanting the spell to miniaturize the Knight when he noticed the Piece of Triforce on his wrist beginning to glow. Oh that's not good, the creature began thinking to him self. He knew that his meant that the Hero Of Destiny had found the Master Sword and the Triforce of Courage had Bonded with him now. This also meant that the Triforce of Wisdom was beginning to bond with the Seventh sage now. With this revolution, the seventh sage would be much more difficult to defeat, and his master may be defeated by the Hero of Destiny.
All he could do was curse himself for not acting more quickly. He could only focus his magic on finding one being at a time, and until that one is captured, he is deaf to all others…Shit! Well that Hero will find that he has a lot more in store than he thinks. I may not have been able to stop him before he became bonded with the Triforce, but I will make sure my master is released before he can realize his true potential. The Dark Creature re assured him self.
He quickly finished the Miniaturization spell and started to chant the final spell on this mages crystal that would break the seal of Light, and break his masters bonds. This seal would cause night to become day and day to become night at will and the creatures of both sides would finally be freed from their prison and not have to be summoned by himself.
The creature levitated the crystal and began breaking the seal…

Below the Hyrule Castle…
Zelda made her way through the catacombs of Hyrule Castle in search of the rest of her family. The guard whom had escorted her here, Dave, was following behind her to make sure no attacks came from the entrance to these tunnels. The tunnels were sparsely lit by emergency glow lamp, and were a huge maze of stone and mortar that only royalty could navigate.
Zelda was physically and mentally exhausted beyond belief and had gotten lost three times already. She could barely pull her self forward anymore, and once again she found her self at a dead end. The day's event had her whole being spinning so much to where she had practically no idea which was up or down, let alone which way was the right one on the path. She heard Dave silently curse as he realized that they were lost again.
"I'm sorry Dave, it's just I'm so exhausted right now…" Zelda began, but Dave just nodded and she could see that he understood, but was just as frustrated as she was with the day's events. She simply said thanks, and began walking in the other direction with Dave in front of her making sure no one came down the hallway and ambushed them.
Zelda was walking forward and tripped on a stone she hadn't seen. Promptly her feet leapt out from under her, and she stretched out her hands to try and break her fall. As she spell she noticed that he hand was glowing, but promptly hit her head on the stone, plunging her into the blackness of unconsciousness before she could contemplate why her hand was glowing….
