Legend of Zelda: Next generation.

Chapter 19: Where Loyalty lies.

The Hyilian's gathered to the wall to watch as the light from the mages intensified. When it receded in their place stood seven Hyilian's. They blazed with power as they advanced on their former master. Baldor had no idea what was going on. He looked panicked as he backed away from the mages. "STOP." he yelled in desperation and flung out his hands making movements to ward them away. The mages, now joined mentally, paid him no heed. They continued to advance locking the now scared looking prince in the circle.

Baldor used his most destructive spells in an attempt to get free but failed miserably. I knew why the mages had become so strong. From the abyss flowed the power of it's guardians and that power could be used by people with the right intentions. Baldor's creatures had all halted now. They where confused and without the brainwashing magic they had no purpose. A lot of them just disappeared into thin air, others wondered off and some stayed to continue fighting but practically all of the Hyilian's stood watching events unfold.

"Debbie, Alex, Daniel, Harley, Mathew and Leila get down there now!" I yelled loud enough that all the sages would hear where ever they were. Shocked as they were they got out there as fast as they could. I was last to emerge from the castle gates on to the now pretty much empty battle ground. Debbie gave a cry as she saw me. "But the spell...you..." I just shock my head at her. "Not now, Now we have a job to finish." They all looked back to the glowing cocoon that held Baldor. "Focus all your power and give it to me." I said not taking my eye's off my target. Behind my back they looked at each other, uncertain of what I was going to do, but one by one they fell into place and drew their power to the surface and fed it into me.

I smiled back at them then held up my arms in a spell casting stance. "Great power and light of the sages. Rise to my call and for fill our will. Destroy the evil in this man once and for all." Power built up in a glowing ball between my arms and was sent forward in a blue beam. Baldor looked out of the confines of his prison in time to see the light streak toward him.

Then his world was no more.

***********************

The teenaged sages all fell about with exhaustion. Alex, Mathew, Harley and Leila had passed out and where breathing shallowly. Debbie and Daniel barely held on to consciousness. While Stephanie was the only one standing, although she looked ready to fall over. They'd used every drop of power they had to create that spell. Daniel looked over to where Baldor had been. There was nothing but a crater and a pile of fine ash. He knew then that the evil in Baldor had been to great. That spell had been created in the interests of saving whatever good might have been found in his soul. But obviously that was just wishful thinking. He'd been bad to the bone.

A glitter at the corner of his eye brought Daniel's attention to the mages that now stood before Stephanie. "We wish to leave for the next life but in coming back to life we've made even that impossible." the middle one was saying. "Will you help us princess?" asked another. Daniel fought to hear Stephanie's reply, "Then if you really must go back there is a way." She said cryptically. "Give it to us." The mages looked at her in surprise. Stephanie met the eye's of the middle mage and a look of understanding passed between them. "So it will be Princess Avelia, you and your friends are brave souls indeed to take on this burden." Daniel didn't understand, new thoughts flooded and overloaded his mind.

He joined his friends in dreamless sleep.

Sorry this chapter was so short. I just had to cover the things that I didn't add in the last chapter. It's coming very close to the end now. ~_~ (Boo hoo.) Bye for now, Mage-Alia.
