An Arising Darkness, Part Two
The King sighed and looked at me.
"Your father is one of the men I have always drafted in time of a crisis. This is definetly a crisis. Something is going on, a new power has arisen. A power only a sage could tap into. One of our sages is causing this, and they have turned traitor on us. We MUST take action. Yet first, we need to find out WHICH sage."
"Your Majesty...what about Zelda?" I asked tentatively.
"She is missing," he said, throwing his hands up.
"Yes, I know that...but what I mean is...she could be the sage, right?"
"WHAT?!" said the King, his face turning red. " Preposterous! I say, Malon, do not suggest anything of the like again!"
"Well, she is miss-" I said, backing away from him, when I was cut off by someone running in yelling.
"Your Highness!!!!" yelled the man. "Quickly!"
"What is it?" asked the King.
"The triforce...it's gone!" yelled the man.
"What! NO!!! How? What were you doing, sleeping on the job, Roald?" asked the King.
"No, he...umm...she...it...whoever it was, they hit me from behind!"
"Nabooru," I said.
"Why Nabooru, Malon?" asked the King.
"Well, I mean it could be," I said. "It just sounds like such a Gerudo thing to do. And, the last time this happened, a Gerudo was behind it all, right?"
"Right," said the King. "Good thinking. I better tell Link we have further news."
"Well, Your Majesty, where was he investigating now?" I asked, curious.
"He was questioning Saria, last I saw," said the King.
"Then I'll go check out this Nabooru thing," I said.

I ran quickly across the bridge and stopped short in front of a Gerudo.
"Umm...hello, miss. Is Nabooru around?" I asked.
"She is not," said the Gerudo. "I am not supposed to tell you where her whereabouts are...she is of course, doing Sage business."
"Really?" I asked. "Is she aware one of her fellow sages has stolen the Triforce?"
"I...if, you are suspecting her, then you can get out!!" yelled the Gerudo.
"No, I-"
"Guards!" the Gerudo shreiked.
Before I knew what was happening, two Gerudos came out grabbed me, and threw me over the ledge. I was falling down a HUGE 100 feet drop!! I screamed the whole way down, then I hit the water, and started floating all the way down.
"Waterfall!" I cried. SPLASH!!!! I went flying down, landing in Lake Hylia. Uh-oh. One of those spider thingies were headed at me. All of a sudden, I felt someone grab me from behind and drag me to shore. I looked up into the eyes of Nabooru.
"Thank you!" I exclaimed.
"Do not thank me," she said coldly. "Thank my master, who spotted you."
"What?" I asked, nervous. "Who are you talking about?"
"Him," she said, pointing by the labratory. And then, seeing who it was, I passed out.
