Hyrule Market was very lively. The afternoon sun shone directly over the large city and a light breeze randomly whipped around the wooden buildings. Many people bustled about with they're daily lives as if nothing was happening to the world around them. It seemed that people tried to forget the madness. They often ignored the hundreds of knights that were stationed everywhere. Link and General Rile walked through the city, overlooking everything, ready for any sudden strike against them. The sun shone off of Link's Mirror Shield and vest as it reflected off of Rile's heavy armor that covered most of his body. Link didn't really feel comfortable wearing the metal vest. He knew it had saved his life numerous times on the battlefield, but he was so used to just wearing a tunic that it felt out of place. He did look very impressive in the armor vest and white and black clothes. Everyone seemed to look at him more because he looked more like a powerful knight than a Kokiri wannabe. He looked over at Rile who was at his left and brushed off the matter. "Does anybody know where Ganondorf is hiding out at?" "It's rumored that since he was the Gerudo King of Thieves, he has made his palace at the Spirit Temple. But, like I said, it's all rumor. I don't know," Rile said with a shrug. He kept on walking towards a café with the younger man. "We're going to have a really bloody battle before long I think." "Hmm. Probably. How many knights do we have to fight with us," Link asked with a perplexed look as he studied a few knights who were standing outside the café. The all had stern looks upon they're faces and held they're spears and swords with perfect posture. They always saluted the General when he walked by. "We have one-thousand six-hundred and eighty two in all. Thank God that we are more skilled than Ganondorf's army. We would have been killed off easily by now." Rile pushed his hair back and rested his hand on his sword hilt as he sat down. Link did so also. "It's kind of odd that it is so peaceful today. We usually get stricken by at least a few Stalfos by noon. It's almost four right now. Looks like the sun is starting to go under now." Link unsheathed his sword quietly, as to not interrupt anyone and began to clean it for battle. He liked the scared looks on the faces of evil as he wielded the shiny blade as if it was a limb of his body. "I wonder what he has for us today." "I don't know. I hope he just takes a day off." Rile ordered a cup of coffee and drank it slowly as he watched the young man clean his sword. He gazed at his reflection in the blade from a few feet away and was mesmerized. "That's a nice sword. What was it? The Master Sword?" "Yeah, it's the sword of the Hero of Time." Link cleaned the blade with a small rag and oiled it with a small container he produced from a utility pouch across his chest. He laid the flat of the blade across his lap and cleaned any dirt from the Triforce grooves. "What's it made of? Looks pretty solid." Rile cocked his head to look at the blue handle. Link smiled at the sudden interest. He loved the Master Sword. It fit him so perfect. It was almost as if it was made for him. "I don't know exactly. It was forged by the sacred goddesses of Hyrule before they returned to the heavens. They blessed it with indestructibility and placed it in the pedestal of time. The handle is made of some type of indestructible sapphire I think. It's impossible to damage." Link finished cleaning the blade and sheathed it in the golden sheath on his back. "So you defeated Ganondorf not too long ago with it?" "Well, eight years ago I did, but yeah, I did once. He's not as tough as one would think after you really get down to fighting him. Then again, he has gotten extremely powerful since last time." Link put a hand to his forehead and sighed. Rile just arched an eyebrow. "Headache?" "Sort of. I just remembered that Ganondorf obtained the power of Majora. I never should have helped that mask guy get that mask when I was in Termina. Ganondorf is like a god now. I totally forgot." Link looked out the window. Clouds were beginning to role in from the west. His eyes focused on the slowly invading clouds as they passed over the field. It was difficult to tell whether they were real or magical. "Here comes a storm it seems. I hope this isn't his army again." "We'll find out in about a half hour I guess. Do you think we should call a brigade to be ready?" Rile stood up and walked outside with the blonde haired young man. "It could just be a regular storm." Lightning cracked in the distance and left a massive tree falling to the ground. It hit with a loud crash that could be heard miles away and began to burn. It lit much of the tall grass surrounding it on fire and began to riptide towards the front of the castle walls. It wasn't natural. "Hmm. Well I guess that means that we aren't going to have a peaceful frolic in the field today." Rile ran off and ordered all of the knights he could find to be at alert. Link readied himself for battle and dusted his crossbow arrows with the magical power of fire, ice, and light.
"This isn't going to be pretty." Link muttered his curses as he ran towards the main gates and pulled his Goron mask out. The big eyes and large smile carven into the mask were very childlike but the blond haired young man knew what kind of devastating power was held within the wooden mask. "Archers get to the top of the wall and light your arrows on fire! Any enemy that invades should be fired at ruthlessly! Knights! Ready your swords and spears! We have an estimated two thousand invaders heading toward the castle! They also seem to have a new military leader and he looks lethal, so watch your backs men!" Rile unsheathed his blade and held it high before charging it forward. He and the rest of the thousand some knights behind him charged through the drawbridge gate and readied to fight to the death. Enemies were closing in from all sides now. All of the same enemies they had fought before were heading with a desire to kill. It wasn't but a few minutes before they reached the first line of knights. Rile ripped forward with his blade and began his slaughter. The sharpness of the Biggoron Sword shredded the competition like the reaper. He clashed swords with a Stalfos while his fellow knights guarded his back. The skeleton warrior went to the ground screaming within seconds as Rile sliced him in half and began his next attack. Several knights were ganging up on a group of Lizalfos. The lizard men hissed in fury and whipped they're blades in huge arcs. The knights stabbed and slashed with they're spears and swords as the Lizalfos made no succession in killing them. The blades ripped them to pieces under the sharpness. The Hylian knights seemed to fare very well but they were still in the midst of a massive battle. The hordes of enemies still penetrated like a needle into raw skin. Link dashed through the Hyrule Market. He stayed close to the main wall and held onto the Goron Mask tightly. The wall was huge, he noticed, as he made his way to the furthest edge of the city. There was a small crack in the wall that he would be able to crawl into and make his way behind the enemies. Archers fired arrow after arrow into the hordes of enemies gathered in front of the moat. The fire that erupted on impact drove them back slightly. Link came to the crack and readied himself for a rush of adrenaline. His gauntleted hands gripped the wall tightly and left indents in the stone as he climbed. "Just a little further," Link growled as he made his way to the top and obtained odd looks from the poised archers atop. He paid no heed as he leapt over the edge of the fifty-foot wall and rolled to a soft landing below. The archers eyes just bulged as the watched him land with ease and run behind the huge field of enemies. He got about a hundred yards behind them, next to the entrance of Lon Lon Ranch and took a breath. His white tunic flapped in the wind and lightning flashed across his shiny armor vest as he looked down at the mask in his hand and smiled evilly. "Playtime guys." The mask sucked to his face like a leech. His skin began to contort in painful looking ways as his body began to take the form of a Goron. He had never used a magical mask as an adult though. He didn't know what kind of effect it would have on him. The magical lights erupted from him and he looked ahead with a sort of fisheye view of things. He looked down at himself and was shocked to see that not only was he a Goron now, he was one of the rare, Big Gorons. That must have been the effect masks had on adults. Link crouched into a ball and rolled forward with the several tons of weight that was his new body. His brown body gained more and more speed with each rotation. He was traveling well over a hundred miles an hour by the time he reached the massive battle. Just before he struck the first line of enemies, fire squelched around him and spikes retracted out of his back. The four- foot spikes gleamed as the burning fire whipped around his body. He plowed through at least twenty of Ganondorf's forces just with his entrance to the battle. The enemies screamed as they're limbs were severed and they're bloody bodies burned to death. Several Stalfos were wounding a single knight near the moat so Link managed to rip the skeletons to pieces on his rampage. He dodged several of his own men as he ripped the enemies to shreds. Before he ran out of room to roll, Link had already killed around six hundred of the nemesis army. The knights roared with joy as they watched Link transform back into himself. He instantaneously unsheathed his Master Sword and lurched into the nearest fight. Several Stalfos had just got done gutting a knight nearby but his friend was still barely fending for his life. Link charged an energy slash and knocked the skeletons to the ground like a tsunami of magical energy and shattered bones. The knight nodded in thanks and ran to the next enemy. Link charged through the hordes of enemies with his blade and left a trail of blood. Bones, blood, scales, and fur were all splashed about as he made his onslaught a bloodbath. Rile met up next to him from within the reaches of the battle and they paired up to fight to the death. They slashed, parried, ripped, sliced, and jabbed with they're powerful swords like a living gauntlet machine. They charged through at least two hundred enemies together and left nothing standing in they're path. As they reached the edge of the battlefield they found something they had wished not to see. "Ganondorf! What the fuck are you doing!" Link shouted in fury as he looked up about a hundred feet into the air. The massive hulk of a sorcerer was concentrating with his hands raised to the skies. Magical energy swarmed around his body like a vertigo of evil aura. The purple, green, red, and blue energy swarmed around his fists like a sphere of Din's Fire. The wind seemed to pick up around him as perspiration ran from his face. He closed his brown eyelids to concentrate and paid absolutely no heed to the battle or people around him. Link charged a Light Arrow in his small, silver crossbow and pulled the trigger in Ganondorf's direction. "Shit," Link cried in annoyance as another arrow with a purple aura of darkness sped out of nowhere and snapped his own arrow in two only inches away from Ganondorf's chest. He tried again and the same thing happened. Next he whipped his Mirror Shield from his back quickly and blocked another of the Dark Arrows on it's shiny surface. "Where the hell are you, you bastard?" "I'm right here you little pestering fly. Stray from things you cannot control weakling. I will not let you hinder our plans little one." The words erupted before the figure even arose over the hill beyond. The gentle trot of Ganondorf's armored horse echoed in Link and Rile's ear cavities as he emerged from the shadows. The black horse with the red eyes snorted with a rush of steam against the cold air that was blowing from the Zora River. Fierce Deity smirked and gave a snicker. He was dressed exactly like Link. "I see you are trying to copy my attire little boy. I suppose that is legal by my terms but you will never succeed me. Ha, ha, ha." "Razial. You've resurrected. Just tell me." Rile held his sword firmly in front of him. "Why? Why did you turn to evil?" "I just realized that evil is so much more fun. The only way to get rid of temptations is to give into them. Why not have some fun and kill some people? What is the harm there General Rile?" Fierce Deity belted out a long cackle of shredded sanity and looked up at Ganondorf who was concentrating, oblivious to the outside world. Link took an urging step forward and held his bloody sword close to himself, stiffly with anger. "What? Do you fellows want to play swords? So be it." Fierce Deity leapt into the air in a flash of lightning and materialized his large Helix Sword in his hands. He came down hard to the duo, who were shocked at the impressive speed.and weapon. Fierce Deity buried the sword in the ground and threw the two backwards with a blast of energy that erupted from the ground. Rile leapt up quickly to find a huge Helix smashing downward to him. He matched the blade with his own large blade and flipped it sideways. Fierce Deity parried quickly and struck Rile in the chest with a swift kick. The very muscular man cackled as Rile went unconscious on the ground, a large dent in his breastplate. Link was still lying on the ground. "Get up you weakling!" Fierce Deity walked over to Link and nudged him with his crystalline blade. Link shot upwards with amazing speed and chanted something. Fire suddenly blazed from his Master Sword as he spun it in a lightning quick spiral and sent Fierce Deity a slice across the chest. Sparks flew from the breastplate but no damage was done to the solid Crescent Armor. Link came down hard with the shiny blade and found it blocked by the incredible warrior's sword. It arced sideways and opened a hole for a solid kick to the armored chest. Link to the chance and hit only air. "Yeah right." Fierce Deity did several reverse flips away and held his large sword behind him. He arched it strongly and sent a wave of energy forth in a line. The energy erupted like a spell and traveled so quick that Link didn't even know what hit him. After the flash dissipated, the powerful Shiekah/Hylian man was gone. His words still echoed in Link's ears though. Rile awakened as Link watched Ganondorf perform his evil deed in the skies. Rile looked up curiously and back to the blonde haired young man next to him. "What is he doing man?" Rile's graying hair fluttered in the wind as it whistled between the cracks in his armor. Link looked over with an infuriated look painted on his face. Rile looked back up as the man's aura grew even larger. "I don't know but we are about to find out. I don't think we are going to like it either." Link brushed his hair back as he looked down at his useless crossbow. The arrows didn't have a chance of breaking through the aura. "Lets just wait until he comes down and then we will kick his ass. Yeah you heard me Ganondorf! I'm going to kick the living shit out of you!" Ganondorf suddenly began to cackle. He obviously heard what the man had said from below. "Watch closely Link! You're going to have some serious problems in a minute! Either give in or Hyrule will be destroyed!" "Hell no! We'll never give into you, you sick bastard!" Link raised his sword with fury in his eyes. Rile followed the act. Ganondorf laughed casually. The duo were used to hearing at least someone cackling like a madman. "Then watch you fools of Hyrule! The harvester of your deaths will soon be rearing its beautiful face! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" Ganondorf raised his hands to the sky and expelled the energy like a tidal wave from his palms. He slowly began to pull backwards as the energy connected with a tiny star, visible millions of miles from Hyrule. The star was soon surrounded by the energy like a force field and disappeared under the sphere of light. It began to move towards them slowly. "What are you doing Ganondorf," Link and Rile cried out in anger. The rest of the military had defeated Ganondorf's forces and were starring in disbelief at the horrific scene that was unfolding in the skies. The star came closer and closer. Minutes passed by before the star became colorful with green and blue. It was not a star, everyone came to understand, as the movement of water, clouds, and atmosphere became slightly visible. The marble approaching them was a planet. "Surrender your kingdom or I will bring out my power to the fullest upon you worthless souls. If you don't surrender, I will scrape Hyrule straight from the map," Ganondorf explained as he pulled further and further. The planet began to move slowly and more slowly as the sweat dripped from the strong sorcerer's face. Everyone seemed to back away as the atmosphere was slowly broken and merged with the atmosphere of the planet above. Many civilians had come to see the event but were now screaming for they're lives as the planet suddenly stopped and loomed above them, only about two miles from they're heads. Link's eyes just widened. Rile stared with a dropped jaw. "Now you know how serious I am foolish Hylians!" Ganondorf suddenly created one of his vortexes and disappeared within it. The planet was left staring at them. It seemed to have fallen into orbit with they're planet. Link shook his head as thoughts ran through his head that would have chosen insanity over sanity if prompted to. His eyes narrowed as he wiped his blade clean and sheathed it. He started back to the castle, walking over dead, bloody corpses in his return. Blood was splattered on his armor and his hood was knocked completely off of his head by the strong winds blowing between both planets. Long locks of golden hair draped out of the white hood as it came free. They settled below his shoulder blades as he angrily snatched it from the ground. Link shook his hair to loosen it and slung the white hood over his shoulder. "I don't fucking believe this shit.damnit," Link cursed and raved as he made his way to the castle. Bystanders eyed him oddly. He was slowly losing it. As he climbed the staircase leading to the main chamber he came to realize that things were a little too quiet. He quickened his pace as he made it to the hallway containing Zelda's and his own room. He stopped at the shut door of the girl's room and cocked his head. He kicked the door open and readied his crossbow to fire if necessary. He didn't find any rapists, murderers, or dead corpses, but he found one close to the last. Impa moaned in pain as she clutched her side and made a deathbed of the cold stone floor. "Link. save Zelda," Impa uttered the words as the blond haired man rushed to her aid. His locks of hair rested on her shoulders as he held her up and hugged her to give a slight bit of comfort. The wound was not horrible but it bled badly and he knew she needed a doctor. Link helped her to Zelda's bed and wiped the blood from the stab wound in her lower stomach. He cut the fabric away and studied the wound. He ran out and called a doctor. The medic that was stationed downstairs came rushing up. He never was of much use due to the lack of injuries that people even got in the castle but he was ready to take action. The brown haired man sterilized the wound and told Link he should go. "Link. Your shadow kidnapped her." Impa uttered the last words as the morphine the doctor had given her settled in her system. He proceeded to begin the small surgery as Link promptly left the room. As he reached the outside, the blonde haired man noticed that the battle was almost cleaned up. There were few knight casualties. The remaining knights put the dead corpses of Lizalfos, Wolfos, and Redeads on a large trailer and proceeded to haul them to the woods to become one with nature again. "I don't believe this. This is horrible." Link wiped the blood from his armor and pulled his hair back into his hood. He walked to the café and sat down. Rile finished giving commands to his men and followed him inside. Rile wiped his face of a trickle of blood and sat back down to his cup of coffee. He was tattered badly from battle, but it didn't affect him. He glanced at Link with a tired gaze and snuffed. "This week just keeps getting better and better. What happens now, we get crushed by a planet? Fucking great." Rile cleaned his Biggoron Sword and shook his head. The elder man looked over to Link. "I'm leaving to get Zelda back. Shadow Link kidnapped her while we were fighting. At the crack of dawn tomorrow.I'm going to that damn Spirit Temple." Link cracked his knuckles and rubbed his eyes. Rile sighed. He shook his head as he noticed the immense stress upon the young man beside him. It had to be tough being the Hero of Time. It was tough enough just being in the same place as him. "So you are going to go to the Spirit Temple? You've got a lot of nerve to break right into Ganondorf's own palace. I can't go with you either. If anymore battles erupt I have to be here to give orders." Rile shook his head and scraped his stubble of a beard. He looked at Link's chin and noticed that he never even seemed to grow any facial hair. What a pretty boy, Rile thought. "Just don't get your ass killed in there." "I've infiltrated his hideouts before, I can do it again. I'm in love with Zelda, General. I have to save her. I have to do this on my own." Link rested his forehead on the coffee table and let out a long sigh of frustration. His white tunic was stained by dirt and blood. He smelled like the stench of dead warriors, he noticed and stood up. "I'm going to go clean up. I'm not fighting anymore today. I am going to a have a very bad morning tomorrow." "Right. Well best of luck.friend." Rile uttered the last word as if it were his last breath. Friend. The last real friend he had had was Razial. Now the acclaimed Fierce Deity was his worst enemy. Friendships die with the past he guessed.no big deal

Rile held his sword firmly in front of him. "Why? Why did you turn to evil?" "I just realized that evil is so much more fun. The only way to get rid of temptations is to give into them. Why not have some fun and kill some people? What is the harm there General Rile?" Fierce Deity belted out a long cackle of shredded sanity and looked up at Ganondorf who was concentrating, oblivious to the outside world. Link took an urging step forward and held his bloody sword close to himself, stiffly with anger. "What? Do you fellows want to play swords? So be it." Fierce Deity leapt into the air in a flash of lightning and materialized his large Helix Sword in his hands. He came down hard to the duo, who were shocked at the impressive speed.and weapon. Fierce Deity buried the sword in the ground and threw the two backwards with a blast of energy that erupted from the ground. Rile leapt up quickly to find a huge Helix smashing downward to him. He matched the blade with his own large blade and flipped it sideways. Fierce Deity parried quickly and struck Rile in the chest with a swift kick. The very muscular man cackled as Rile went unconscious on the ground, a large dent in his breastplate. Link was still lying on the ground. "Get up you weakling!" Fierce Deity walked over to Link and nudged him with his crystalline blade. Link shot upwards with amazing speed and chanted something. Fire suddenly blazed from his Master Sword as he spun it in a lightning quick spiral and sent Fierce Deity a slice across the chest. Sparks flew from the breastplate but no damage was done to the solid Crescent Armor. Link came down hard with the shiny blade and found it blocked by the incredible warrior's sword. It arced sideways and opened a hole for a solid kick to the armored chest. Link to the chance and hit only air. "Yeah right." Fierce Deity did several reverse flips away and held his large sword behind him. He arched it strongly and sent a wave of energy forth in a line. The energy erupted like a spell and traveled so quick that Link didn't even know what hit him. After the flash dissipated, the powerful Shiekah/Hylian man was gone. His words still echoed in Link's ears though. Rile awakened as Link watched Ganondorf perform his evil deed in the skies. Rile looked up curiously and back to the blonde haired young man next to him. "What is he doing man?" Rile's graying hair fluttered in the wind as it whistled between the cracks in his armor. Link looked over with an infuriated look painted on his face. Rile looked back up as the man's aura grew even larger. "I don't know but we are about to find out. I don't think we are going to like it either." Link brushed his hair back as he looked down at his useless crossbow. The arrows didn't have a chance of breaking through the aura. "Lets just wait until he comes down and then we will kick his ass. Yeah you heard me Ganondorf! I'm going to kick the living shit out of you!" Ganondorf suddenly began to cackle. He obviously heard what the man had said from below. "Watch closely Link! You're going to have some serious problems in a minute! Either give in or Hyrule will be destroyed!" "Hell no! We'll never give into you, you sick bastard!" Link raised his sword with fury in his eyes. Rile followed the act. Ganondorf laughed casually. The duo were used to hearing at least someone cackling like a madman. "Then watch you fools of Hyrule! The harvester of your deaths will soon be rearing its beautiful face! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!" Ganondorf raised his hands to the sky and expelled the energy like a tidal wave from his palms. He slowly began to pull backwards as the energy connected with a tiny star, visible millions of miles from Hyrule. The star was soon surrounded by the energy like a force field and disappeared under the sphere of light. It began to move towards them slowly. "What are you doing Ganondorf," Link and Rile cried out in anger. The rest of the military had defeated Ganondorf's forces and were starring in disbelief at the horrific scene that was unfolding in the skies. The star came closer and closer. Minutes passed by before the star became colorful with green and blue. It was not a star, everyone came to understand, as the movement of water, clouds, and atmosphere became slightly visible. The marble approaching them was a planet. "Surrender your kingdom or I will bring out my power to the fullest upon you worthless souls. If you don't surrender, I will scrape Hyrule straight from the map," Ganondorf explained as he pulled further and further. The planet began to move slowly and more slowly as the sweat dripped from the strong sorcerer's face. Everyone seemed to back away as the atmosphere was slowly broken and merged with the atmosphere of the planet above. Many civilians had come to see the event but were now screaming for they're lives as the planet suddenly stopped and loomed above them, only about two miles from they're heads. Link's eyes just widened. Rile stared with a dropped jaw. "Now you know how serious I am foolish Hylians!" Ganondorf suddenly created one of his vortexes and disappeared within it. The planet was left staring at them. It seemed to have fallen into orbit with they're planet. Link shook his head as thoughts ran through his head that would have chosen insanity over sanity if prompted to. His eyes narrowed as he wiped his blade clean and sheathed it. He started back to the castle, walking over dead, bloody corpses in his return. Blood was splattered on his armor and his hood was knocked completely off of his head by the strong winds blowing between both planets. Long locks of golden hair draped out of the white hood as it came free. They settled below his shoulder blades as he angrily snatched it from the ground. Link shook his hair to loosen it and slung the white hood over his shoulder. "I don't fucking believe this shit.damnit," Link cursed and raved as he made his way to the castle. Bystanders eyed him oddly. He was slowly losing it. As he climbed the staircase leading to the main chamber he came to realize that things were a little too quiet. He quickened his pace as he made it to the hallway containing Zelda's and his own room. He stopped at the shut door of the girl's room and cocked his head. He kicked the door open and readied his crossbow to fire if necessary. He didn't find any rapists, murderers, or dead corpses, but he found one close to the last. Impa moaned in pain as she clutched her side and made a deathbed of the cold stone floor. "Link. save Zelda," Impa uttered the words as the blond haired man rushed to her aid. His locks of hair rested on her shoulders as he held her up and hugged her to give a slight bit of comfort. The wound was not horrible but it bled badly and he knew she needed a doctor. Link helped her to Zelda's bed and wiped the blood from the stab wound in her lower stomach. He cut the fabric away and studied the wound. He ran out and called a doctor. The medic that was stationed downstairs came rushing up. He never was of much use due to the lack of injuries that people even got in the castle but he was ready to take action. The brown haired man sterilized the wound and told Link he should go. "Link. Your shadow kidnapped her." Impa uttered the last words as the morphine the doctor had given her settled in her system. He proceeded to begin the small surgery as Link promptly left the room. As he reached the outside, the blonde haired man noticed that the battle was almost cleaned up. There were few knight casualties. The remaining knights put the dead corpses of Lizalfos, Wolfos, and Redeads on a large trailer and proceeded to haul them to the woods to become one with nature again. "I don't believe this. This is horrible." Link wiped the blood from his armor and pulled his hair back into his hood. He walked to the café and sat down. Rile finished giving commands to his men and followed him inside. Rile wiped his face of a trickle of blood and sat back down to his cup of coffee. He was tattered badly from battle, but it didn't affect him. He glanced at Link with a tired gaze and snuffed. "This week just keeps getting better and better. What happens now, we get crushed by a planet? Fucking great." Rile cleaned his Biggoron Sword and shook his head. The elder man looked over to Link. "I'm leaving to get Zelda back. Shadow Link kidnapped her while we were fighting. At the crack of dawn tomorrow.I'm going to that damn Spirit Temple." Link cracked his knuckles and rubbed his eyes. Rile sighed. He shook his head as he noticed the immense stress upon the young man beside him. It had to be tough being the Hero of Time. It was tough enough just being in the same place as him. "So you are going to go to the Spirit Temple? You've got a lot of nerve to break right into Ganondorf's own palace. I can't go with you either. If anymore battles erupt I have to be here to give orders." Rile shook his head and scraped his stubble of a beard. He looked at Link's chin and noticed that he never even seemed to grow any facial hair. What a pretty boy, Rile thought. "Just don't get your ass killed in there." "I've infiltrated his hideouts before, I can do it again. I'm in love with Zelda, General. I have to save her. I have to do this on my own." Link rested his forehead on the coffee table and let out a long sigh of frustration. His white tunic was stained by dirt and blood. He smelled like the stench of dead warriors, he noticed and stood up. "I'm going to go clean up. I'm not fighting anymore today. I am going to a have a very bad morning tomorrow." "Right. Well best of luck.friend." Rile uttered the last word as if it were his last breath. Friend. The last real friend he had had was Razial. Now the acclaimed Fierce Deity was his worst enemy. Friendships die with the past he guessed.no big deal
