Prologue ( what happened last time)



When he awoke Miko found himself in the Lizarian camp. He felt different then before. He walked over to a group of Lizarians and touched one to see if he was awake. The Lizarian screamed in agony and then burst into flames. Miko jumped back shocked by what he saw. Now he knew why he felt different and what his master meant by being more prepared. He was more powerful then he had ever imagined. He knew that nothing could stop him and the Lizarian army now.



Chapter 13







After a night of restless sleep, the group headed in the direction of the Kokiri Forest. The group was unusually active, well at least Zelda and Malon were. They talked and talked and talked. This was not frivolous conversations though, they were discussing theories and strategies to help the Hylian people if they ever had a chance to come back again. " If they make it to the plains just outside the castle gate, they will have a hard time making it inside. The walls are heavily fortified and the walls are twenty feet high." Zelda said as she was describing the Castle towns defenses. Malon was listening and making comments here and there. Link was grateful that they were at least keeping a optimistic view on things. Link didn't really know if they would get back or not. Even if they did, they might not have anything to come back to. He looked over to Kid and Mason, both of them had been valuable and Mason seemed to be able to keep awake, which was a very good thing. He then looked to the other side and looked at Impa and Ganondorf. Both of them had been such a big part of his past, both on different sides. It amazed him how things can change over time. Friends becomes better friends and even enemies can become friends.

Link was reminiscing when he heard a high pitched scream and noticed that it was not any of the females who emanated that sound. It came from Mason who was already unconscious on the ground. Link followed the line of sight and saw what had made Mason scream. Standing there was the biggest Skulltula Link had ever seen. It stood about ten feet high and about twenty feet in diameter. Malon instantly reacted and reached for her bow, Zelda, Impa and Ganondorf were powering their magic. Kid was trying to get Mason out of the way so he wouldn't get trampled. Link jumped off his horse and drew his sword. " I mean no harm, put away your weapons." Link spun around, who had said that? " I can help you, you help me too" Link looked at Ganondorf who was looking at the Skulltula, Malon was pulling back her bow and Zelda was powering her magic still. " Please, stop" Link was very confused now, who was saying that, then a idea hit him. He looked at the Skulltula and wondered, was it this thing that he heard. Link heard the twang of the bow as Malon released her arrow, Link reacted instantly slicing it in the air. "Hey why did.." she started to say but Link yelled at everyone. " STOP. Don't do anything, I don't think it's here to hurt us." Everyone stood down and Link walked over to the Giant Skulltula. He wished he still had any of the masks from his journey into Termaina. He could really use them right now. Unfortunately he had sold all of them to the Happy Mask Man, for the price of 100,000 rubies. As he touched the Skulltula he heard it speak telepathically to him. " I mean you no harm. I have been following you for many days now. I have a small problem. I am a Giant Hylian who was cursed by a witch and forced to look like this for the rest of my life. I can help you, I know where you are going and I know a short cut. If you help me find and kill the witch that did this to me, I will promise to show you the short cut to Termaina." Link broke the link and walked over to the group to discuss the idea. All of them were in agreement, they would help him.

They Traveled for several hours before reaching a old hut on the outskirts of the Forest. When they arrived the Skulltula appeared out of no where. He hung from a tree and motioned to Link that this was the witches house. Link nodded to him and motioned everyone to gather around. " Ok here is the plan. Zelda and I will knock on her door pretending to be some lost travelers asking for assistance. She will certainly let us in so she can experiment on us. Once inside, I want Ganondorf and Impa to start throwing magic around. Make it look like you two are fighting. It has to be enough to get her attention. When the witch comes out, Kid and Malon, I want you two to come in and make sure that if we are captured, you free us. We will then hide and capture the witch when she comes back in. Everyone got it?" Everyone nodded in unison. " Um..excuse me" Mason said, " but what am I going to be doing?" Link tried not to let show is laugh. " You will be on the outskirts of this forest to make sure we are not attacked from someone, or something else." He said. Mason nodded his agreement. Link was glad, he didn't want to hurt Masons feelings, but he would have just gotten in the way. " Ok let's go" he said. The group split up into the groups and got ready to execute their plan. Once everyone was in place Link and Zelda headed to the witches door.

They knock on the door and stood there for several minutes. Link was begging to think that no one was home, when the door opened and a very old lady stood there. Link thought he had seen this woman before, but he could have been wrong. " Um, excuse me" Link said, " My girlfriend and I were walking though this forest and we seem to have gotten lost. Could you help us in anyway. We are very cold and hungry." The old woman stood there for a brief moment looking at Link. It seemed to him that she knew him as well, or at least she thought she did. After a few moments of decision, she spoke, " Yes, yes my dearies; please come in and warm yourself. I have plenty of food and a warm fire." Link expressed his gratitude and they went in.

Ganondorf and Impa waited for about ten minutes before proceeding to commence their mock fight. Impa threw a magic blast in Ganondorfs direction and it incinerated some trees. " That one was a little close" Ganondorf hissed. Impa just smiled. Ganondorf not to be outdone shot a blast of magic that destroyed a good portion of the tress in the surrounding area. " Show off" Impa said. They went at it for about a minute before the witch emerged form her house. " Who is making all that racket out here" she yelled. Ganondorf threw a magic bolt her way to get her to move away from the house. The witch flew into the air and away from that area. In that instant Kid and Malon ran inside. When they got in they found Link and Zelda tied up in a corner. They ran over to them and undid their bindings. " thanks" Link sighed. Kid and Malon ran out as Link and Zelda got ready for the return of the witch. Outside Ganondorf and Impa were keeping the witch busy going this way and that. Out of luck Ganondorf actually hit the witch and she fell to the ground. Impa gave him a " why did you do that" look, but he just shrugged. They walked over to the witch and Ganondorf gasped. Was it really her? Could she still be alive after all this time? The witch looked up at them and smiled. " So nice to see you again Ganondorf" she said. Ganondorf fell to the ground and began to, what she thought was cry. Link and Zelda came outside when they saw the witch fall to the ground. When they got to the site they were met with a bizarre scene. Ganondorf was on the ground crying and Impa was consoling him. Link walked over to the witch and then it hit him, it was one of the witch twins, Kume`. Link then looked at Impa and asked her " what is the matter with Ganondorf?" Impa shrugged, " He fell to the ground when he saw her and started to cry." " Why would he do that" Link asked. " Because she is my mother" Ganondorf said looking up. Everyone was taken aback, " Your who?" Link asked. " My mother."
