Chapter 7: Crystal Galore

Past the entrance was a large courtyard. It was all crystallized, as the entrance was, and had quite a few more enemies. Link could see Moblins, lots of keese, and a few enemies he didn't recognize. He would have to find out about these things. He walked into the middle of the courtyard and pulled out his sword. The sound of the unsheathing rang quite a bit louder than it should have due to a tremendous amount of echo in the room and all the enemies immediately alerted to the newcomer.

The keese swarmed around Link and blinded him, while the Moblins moved in to attack. Link shook a few of the keese off so he could kill them without hurting himself but the other enemies were moving in quick. It was as if they were all choreographed or something. After what seemed an hour of struggling Link rid of all the keese and was trying to hold off the Moblin army. They had long poles with a pointy crystal edge that made them hard to keep back, but he did a good job for his size. One of them dropped their pole and Link quickly reacted by pushing a foot under it and lifting up right as the Moblin bent over to pick it up. It went flying back and took down two of the anonymous enemies with it.

Link picked up the pole and put his sword away. He began jabbing at Moblins, making them jump back and step on the other enemies. They all soon got aggravated of the toe stomping and fought back. No more than a minute later Link was standing by himself while the others were all fighting each other. Every once in a while Link would throw in his two rupees to the battles by tripping an unsuspecting Moblin, but then it would just get madder and fight harder.

There was now only one enemy left, the best fighter of the group since it had survived. It was one of the anonymous enemies. Now that Link saw it closely he noticed that it was a large crystalline Moblin. It looked very strong, maybe strong enough to stand a chance...just maybe. Link sprang into action, he knew the crystal spear wouldn't work since the thing was crystalline, so he looked for a weakness. He thought of things that couldn't be coated in crystal...the eyes!

Link pulled out his bow and took aim, but the thing was moving too quickly for Link to get a lock on its eye. He took the crystal spear and pulled the crystal point out of it. He threw it as accurately as he could at the thing's eye and got it square in the mouth. The thing started choking, for who wouldn't choke with a crystal lodged in their mouth, and Link took this opportunity to fire an arrow at it's eye. The thing would have let out a scream but its mouth was occupied so it just tried to scream and then fell. Link smiled and continued looking around the courtyard. He knew the spring would be around here, this was the main area.
