Vovalgia was turning Kakariko Village into ruins. Zelda was running down Death
Mountain as fast as she could with a broken rib. Every step was hard and painful but
Zelda kept going on. The only thing that was slowing her down was the thought of Impa
lying on the floor of Vovalgia's cavern nursing her burnt leg.
"But Impa will survive," thought Zelda. "Kakariko Village won't unless they get some
help. Although I doubt I will be able to do much."

The villagers were running and screaming trying to reach the exit. Vovalgia's fireballs
were blowing buildings apart. Villagers were on the ground screaming in pain from
burns and shrapnel lodged in their bodies. After several painstaking minutes Zelda
finally reached the ground. She took out her bow and arrow and shot an arrow at
Vovalgia. It hit him in the tail. Vovalgia turned and headed toward Zelda. He shot a
fireball at her but something knocked her from the side and pushed her out of the way of
the fireball.
"Aah!" screamed Zelda as her ribs rammed into the ground. She grabbed her chest and
looked to see who tackled her.
"Chief Guard?" asked Zelda in a lower voice.
"That couldn't hurt that much," said the Chief Guard.
"My ribs are broken. I thought you were trying to arrest us," said Shiek.
"I'm sorry. It's obvious now that you are trying to help us. Whether for yourselves or
for all of Hyrule, or if you are trying to defeat this dragon I will help you," replied the
Chief Guard. The chief guard pulled a spear from a holster on his back and threw it at
Vovalgia. It stuck in his eye.
"Rrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaggggghhhh!" screamed Vovalgia. Vovalgia shook its head and threw
the spear out of his eye. Vovalgia again turned toward Zelda and the Chief Guard. Zelda
took out her bow and arrow and shot Vovalgia. Vovalgia sped up. The Chief Guard and
Zelda ran. Vovalgia was about to slam into the ground when an explosion hit him in the
side. He slammed into several houses. Zelda turned and saw another guard. The guard
lit another bomb and threw it. The bomb hit Vovalgia.
"Good job Viser! Where are the rest of the guys?" yelled the Chief Guard.
"They're still coming down!" Visor yelled back. Vovalgia slowly rose up. Visor was
lighting another bomb when Vovalgia swiftly turned toward him and shot a fireball at
Visor. Visor burst into flames. Vovalgia then turned and flew away from Kakariko and
in the direction of the formal Hyrule Castle Town Market.
"Visor!" screamed the Chief Guard.
"He's heading toward Ganondorf's Tower!" yelled Zelda.
"That's good right?" asked the Chief Guard.
"No! Ganondorf was probably the one who awoke Vovalgia. Ganondorf will heal
Vovalgia's wounds and possibly make him stronger. And who knows where Vovalgia
will go next? He might head toward Lon Lon Ranch or toward the small settlements that
people have built. We've got hurry and try to get him back into his cavern in the Fire
Temple," said Zelda.
"We'll do that. You've done enough," said the Chief Guard.
"Wait! Send somebody into the Fire Temple to get my partner, Mera," said Zelda.
"Alright, I will. What was your name son?" asked the Chief Guard.
"Z-. I mean Shiek," said Zelda.
"See you later Shiek," said the Chief Guard. He turned toward the guards coming down
from Goron City. "One of you go back there and get this kid's partner from the Fire
Temple! The rest of you come with me! I'll give you details on the way!" yelled the
Chief Guard. One guard turned around while the rest hurried to the Chief Guard. They
then left Kakariko Village and toward Ganondorf's Tower.
Ganondorf was staring out his window watching Vovalgia destroy Kakariko Village.
"Heh," said Ganondorf. "That's funny. But Vovalgia was supposed to stay at Death
Mountain, not go down to Kakariko Village. Somebody must be revolting against me. It
must be that Goron, Darunia." Ganondorf continued watching as Vovalgia headed his
way. "Stupid dragon. I'll just have to teach him a lesson."
Following close behind Vovalgia were the Kakariko Guards. "They don't think they can
do anything do they?" wondered Ganondorf.

Vovalgia finally reached the old Town Market and started to destroy it instead of
Kakariko Village. Ganondorf stepped on his windowsill and floated toward Vovalgia.
Vovalgia looked at Ganondorf and spit a fireball at him. Ganondorf waved it away.
Light started flowing toward Ganondorf's hand and formed into a solid ball. Ganondorf
threw it at Vovalgia.
"RRrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaggggghhhhhh!!!" screamed Vovalgia. Ganondorf then
spread his arms. Light circled around Vovalgia. All the wounds Vovalgia had gained
were healed. Vovalgia also grew a little.
"Now stay at Death Mountain and the Fire Temple! I don't need you anywhere except
for that area!" yelled Ganondorf. Vovalgia turned around and flew back to the Fire
Temple. The guards started to throw spears and shoot arrows at Vovalgia but now they
did next to nothing.
"Now for them," said Ganondorf. Ganondorf raised his arms. A whole in time and space
was created above his head. Several beams of dark magic flew out of the whole. They
hit the guards and the ground near the guards. Everywhere the beams hit exploded. All
the guards, including the Chief Guard, were killed.

Over the expanse of the next year, Shetara healed Zelda and Impa's wounds at Impa's
mother's old cottage. Impa suffered scars on her right leg but that was all. Villages and
cities revolted against Ganondorf, but they were all quickly destroyed. Impa and Zelda
won small victories against Ganondorf as Mera and Shiek, but they were like bees in the
between the bear and the honey. They just couldn't stop him. Zelda and Impa were
losing hope when they heard about a Gerudo, a race of all women warriors except for one
male child who would become their ruler and Ganondorf's soldiers, who didn't like
Ganondorf's ways. They might have an ally in the enemy camp.

"How are we going to get a hold of her? Its not like we can send a messenger to ask her
if she really is against Ganondorf," said Zelda while having breakfast.
"I don't know. If we can't figure anything out we might just have to try and get inside
Gerudo base," said Impa.
"You can't possibly take Zelda with you!" exclaimed Shetara who was just sitting down
after making breakfast.
"Why not?" asked Impa.
"Whether she knows how to fight or not, she still is a thirteen year old girl! And
according to you she hasn't even completed her training!" answered Shetara.
"We don't have to go right now. And hopefully we won't even need to go at all. But if
we do end up going to the Gerudo base, I will finish Zelda's training. Or at least enough
where she would be at a Gerudo's level," explained Impa.
"I still don't think you should take a child into an enemy base, whether she knows how to
fight or not! My views haven't changed since your mother and father wanted to take you
with them to help bodyguard the king and queen of that time," said Shetara.
"That was different, Shetara! That was just protecting the king and queen of a possible
assassination attempt! One fighter, especially an apprentice, wouldn't have made a
difference! But this is a war! Hyrule needs every single living thing capable of fighting
to fight! That includes thirteen year old princesses!" yelled Impa.
"Be quiet!" screamed Zelda. Impa and Shetara looked at her. "We're fighting over
something that might not even happen. And if it does I am going. You say you're
protecting me but what about Impa? If I don't go, Impa will be alone at the enemy base.
Would rather have Impa alone at the base or somebody with her?"
"I would rather neither of you go. Especially after you both decided that you would be
able to fight Vovalgia with only knives and arrows! I hate to think of what you might do!
Try to fight all those Gerudo blindfolded and with your hands behind your backs?"
argued Shetara.
"Stop, we will argue about this when it is time. But as Zelda said, we are arguing about
something that might never happen. Now, let's finish our breakfast and try to figure out a
way to get a hold of this Gerudo traitor," said Impa. Zelda and Shetara nodded.

Over the next few months Zelda, Impa, and Shetara tried to figure out how to get a hold
of the Gerudo traitor. Meanwhile, Zelda and Impa were training harder than ever.
"Impa, what do we do when Link comes back?' asked Zelda during a training session.
"You mean your prophecy hasn't told you?" asked Impa.
"No, not entirely anyway. I know Link will go to the five temples and that I help him
somehow. I'm not sure," said Zelda.
"It'll be alright," said Impa. "According to you, we still have four more years until he
comes back. You'll figure it out by then."
"I hope so," muttered Zelda.

"I have an idea," said Shetara a week later.
"What?" asked Impa.
"Leave a note right at their door," answered Shetara.
"That wouldn't work. The other Gerudo could read it and then find out about the traitor.
Then they would probably kill her," said Impa.
"Yes, but in one of your mother's old books is a Shiekah spell that keeps anyone from
opening a package, except the person you want to open it," said Shetara.
"Really? I never heard of it," said Impa.
"I was cleaning out your mother's bookcases when I saw a book open. I looked at the
page and it had that spell. It was an old book and most of the pages were faded or ripped
out. I bet your mother never noticed it. Also, it's a spell that probably didn't have much
use until now," explained Shetara.
"Alright," said Impa. "Let's go get that book."

It was the only book in the bookcase. Shetara opened it to the page.
"Put note into some sort of package," said Shetara. Impa put their note into a envelope.
"Now, touch the envelope with your bare hand," said Shetara. Impa did so.
"Uh-Oh," said Shetara.
"What?" asked Impa.
"It says to think of the person's image in your head and say their name," said Shetara.
"But we don't know what she looks like or what her name is," said Impa.
"I know," said Shetara.
"Scrap that idea," said Impa.

The next morning Impa decided to talk to Zelda. "We're going in," she said.
"In the Gerudo base?" Zelda asked.
"Yes," answered Impa.
"Do you think I'm ready?' asked Zelda.
"Yes, but hopefully we won't have to fight," said Impa.

They took another week for planning. Finally, they took Shulta (Impa's horse if you
don't remember) and headed out for the desert. It took several more days for them to
reach the desert.
"Alright," said Impa. "We need to leave Shulta here. She'll find her way back. Get your
mask on." Zelda did so. They began walking toward the Gerudo base; the outline could
be seen vaguely in the distance. After several more hours of walking, they were right up
to the walls.
"Be as quiet as you can," Impa whispered to Zelda. Zelda nodded.

Impa unwrapped a grappling hook and rope from her waist. She threw it up. I caught on
a crack in the wall. Impa and Zelda started to climb up. They walked along the edge
until they were behind one of the guards. Impa hit her behind the head. Impa put the
Gerudo's armor on. She took shackles from the Gerudo's belt and put them on Zelda.
They climbed down a ladder to the ground. Instantly, a Gerudo jogged toward them.
"Who is this?" asked the Gerudo.
"I caught this Shiekah trying to sneak in. I was taking him to one of the cells," answered
Impa.
"Alright, move along," said the Gerudo. Impa dragged Zelda into one of the cells.
"I'll come back for you when I find our Gerudo traitor or if a fight breaks out," said
Impa.
"OK," answered Zelda. Impa walked off.

Impa walked around starting conversations with random Gerudo hoping they would let
something slip about them being a traitor. The closest thing to that was someone
complaining about a guard called Naboruu not doing her job. Impa started looking for
this Naboruu.

Impa kept looking when a Gerudo Guard rushed up to her.
"Are you Naboruu?" Impa asked the guard.
"No, and that just proves that just proves everybody's suspicions that you are not a
Gerudo. We all know each other are," answered the Gerudo. The Gerudo pulled out her
curved scythes and leaped at Impa. Impa dodged the blades and pulled out her own. The
Gerudo swiped at Impa with her left scythe but Impa blocked it. Impa tried to sideswipe
the Gerudo but she jumped and flipped over Impa's head. Impa moved the side just as a
scythe sliced the air where Impa had just been. Impa turned and stabbed but the Gerudo
knocked the scythe away.
"You're not a normal soldier," said the Gerudo.
"No," answered Impa. Impa swung at the Gerudo and cut deep into her shoulder.
"Aaaah!" screamed the Gerudo. Impa then stabbed the Gerudo in the stomach. Just then,
Impa saw the hundreds of other Gerudo that were watching the fight. Impa backed away
slowly. She reached behind her back and grabbed a Deku Nut. She then threw the Deku
Nut on the ground stunning most of the Gerudo. She then turned and ran. The Gerudo
that weren't close enough to Impa to be stunned chased after her. But Impa had a good
head start.

Impa ran to the cells. She stopped at Zelda's cell and opened it.
"What's the matter?" asked Zelda.
"I'll tell you later. We've got to go right now," said Impa breathlessly. Impa started
running with Zelda following close behind. When they reached the gate Impa jumped up
and grabbed onto a stone with Zelda doing the same. The Gerudo started firing arrows at
Zelda and Impa. One hit Zelda in the left leg. Zelda held in her scream and tried to
climb without using her left leg. When they reached the top they saw several other
Gerudo, including the one Impa got the uniform from. Impa rushed up and quickly
stabbed one in the gut. But the other one put up a fight. Zelda was having trouble
blocking the Gerudo scythes' attack with just a knife. Impa helped Zelda and killed the
Gerudo. Zelda looked down and saw the other Gerudo climbing up the ladder.
"There are more coming!" yelled Zelda.
"Come on!" yelled Impa. Impa grabbed Zelda and jumped off the wall.
"Aaaah!" screamed Zelda. Impa twisted and grabbed the rope from the grappling hook.
They slid down the rope and hit the ground. They then Impa started to run holding Zelda.
They ran until the reached Shulta, Impa's horse. They then started to gallop.

After several days of riding they finally reached their home. Shetara scolded Impa and
healed Zelda's wound. It was a while before Zelda or Impa attacked anywhere for a long
while.
