A/N: Bariyou the White Tiger Youkai, in response to your comment about
Zelda: Thanks for pointing that out. I've noticed that's one of the
problems I've been making while writing this story. I have made up a reason
is to why she does have energy in battle. It will be mentioned in this
chapter and I plan to do a better job as far as Zelda's energy. Oh and
thanks to everyone who has reviewed!
Chapter 7:
After an hour or so Zelda and Han came back with the other two horses, Zelda looked extremely exhausted. They decided that they would spend the night in Tilkate's old house in Gerudo Valley. Her house was small, but it did have a bed for each of them to sleep in. There was also a small stable outside for the horses. Han took to horses to the stable while Zelda and Tilkate got ready for bed.
"I am so tired." Said Zelda.
"I can tell." Tilkate replied.
"I don't understand," said Zelda, "I used to not get tired a lot, but now.."
"How long have you been like this?" Tilkate asked.
"I don't know," Zelda answered, "maybe a month."
"What do you do when you're in battle?" Tilkate asked.
"Well, I use the Triforce for a little bit of energy," Zelda answered.
"I thought that takes up energy," Tilkate commented.
"I've been using it for a long time so I have learned to control it more," Zelda replied.
"I see," said Tilkate, "I've also noticed your eating habits. When we take a break, you seem very hungry."
"Yeah I know," Zelda replied, "I used to be able to control hunger.I don't know what's wrong with me."
"Call me crazy, but I think I do," said Tilkate.
"What?" Zelda asked.
"Is it possible that you're pregnant?" Tilkate asked.
"Me.. Pregnant?" Zelda replied surprised by Tilkate's suggestion.
"It's extremely possible," Tilkate replied, "You're tired a lot, you have to rely on the Triforce for energy, you're eating a lot more, and you sometimes have weird mood swings."
Zelda didn't know what to say. It was very possible. "But we've been so careful," She thought, "We knew it was too dangerous to have children right now...is it possible that one little thing went wrong?"
"You should go to sleep now," Tilkate suggested.
Zelda nodded and laid down to go to sleep.
The next morning,
Zelda was feeling really sick. She thought about what Tilkate said. 'Could it be possible?' She thought.
Zelda suddenly ran to the bathroom.
Han called hear Zelda from outside the bathroom. "Are you ok?" He called through the door.
"Fine," she said, she rinsed her mouth and walked out.
"I guess we'll have to go through the Haunted Wasteland to get to the Spirit Temple?" Han asked.
"I suppose," Zelda answered.
"I wonder where those two Gerudos are that stayed here," said Tilkate.
"They could already by dead," said Han.
They gathered their supplies and made their way to the River of Sand. They had to go through that first to get to the Haunted Wasteland. It was very difficult to walk through the River of Sand because there was a heavy sandstorm. They all stayed as close as possible to each other. Getting lost in the desert would be very dangerous.
Finally they could see a small building. At the building they would find a friendly Poe that would guide them through the Haunted Wasteland. However, when they got closer to the building, they suddenly fell into a pit of sand.
Zelda slowly opened her eyes. She slowly sat up and looked around. She was in a room made of stone and the floor was covered in sand. Tilkate and Han were still unconscious.
"Where are we?" Navi asked.
Zelda looked up to see the fairy and shook her head. "I don't know," She picked herself off the sandy floor and shook Tilkate awake. Zelda then woke Han.
"What happened?" Han asked.
"I don't know," Zelda answered, "I remember we were walking towards that building and...we fell. We must have fallen in some sort of sandpit that leads to this place here."
"Well we need to find a way out." Said Han.
"You're right," Zelda replied, "There's a door over there, maybe it leads out of this place."
Tilkate let out a scream when she saw what was in the next room. It was a room with coffins hanging on the walls.
"T-there's a door on the other side," said Zelda with a hint of fear in her voice, "maybe that leads out of this place."
"What if there's zombies in those coffins," Tilkate replied, "and they jump out and attack us?"
"I'm sure it's fine," said Han, "Come on, we're wasting time."
Tilkate let out a moan and followed Han and Zelda into the room. All of them were so quiet that the only sound that could be heard was the sound and the feet against the sandy floor. Tilkate swallowed a lump in her throat as they walked past the first set of coffins. They then heard a click. They stopped dead in their tracks and looked around. A coffin on the left and right side of the wall opened. Han unsheathed his sword. Tilkate looked over at Zelda and saw her Triforce mark glow. "I guess she's getting ready to use energy if we have to fight," she thought. They waited and saw that there was nothing in the coffins. Zelda stopped using her powers and Han sheathed his sword. They continued on, but Tilkate was suddenly pulled backwards and locked inside one of the coffins. Han and Zelda tried to open it, but it was no use. To make matters worse, all the coffins in the room opened and Gibdos began pouring out and made their way to Han and Zelda.
"Han, try to hold them off," said Zelda. Han nodded and began firing arrows at the monsters, it slowed them down a little. Zelda stretched her hands forward and closed her eyes. She concentrated as hard as she could. He body began to glow and a shock wave was sent forward killing all the Gibdos. She fell to her knees and panted for breath.
"Are you alright?" Han asked.
"Yes," she answered, "That spell took all the energy I got. I'm not going to be much use now in battle. I'm too tired to fight right now."
He nodded and ran back to the coffin Tilkate was locked in. He tried to open it again, but it seemed there was some kind of magic seal on it.
"Zelda, it won't open," he said, "Tilkate is going to run out of oxygen if we don't do something."
"I'll try to use my powers to open it, but I don't think I can." She said with disbelief. She held her hand out and used whatever energy she had left to open it. Han knew she wouldn't be able to open it. He looked at the coffin and sighed. After a minute or two the coffin shot up. Tilkate sat up and gasped.
"What happened?!" She asked.
"After you got trapped in there, we fought a bunch of Gibdos." Han answered.
Zelda sat on the floor and sighed.
"I know you're tired, but we must leave before someone else gets trapped." Said Navi.
"She's right," Han replied.
"Alright," said Zelda standing up.
They walked into the next room and what they saw horrified them. It was the two Gerudo women lying on the floor, dead.
"They must have been on their way to the Spirit Temple to steal its treasures." Said Tilkate.
"I wonder what killed them." Said Han looking at their bodies. There were no wound marks. Zelda fell on her knees again. "This room..has poison in the air..." She said and fell forward. Han quickly picked her up and ran out of the room with Tilkate.
They went into the next room only to find more Gibdos.
"Oh this is not good," Han sighed.
"Han, Tilkate, take these," said Zelda holding out a handful of crystals.
"Din's Fire," said Tilkate to Han.
"How do I use it?" He asked.
"Just slam it against the floor," She said and she slammed the crystal to the floor.
Five of them fell down dead.
Han then slammed his crystal against the floor, but nothing happened.
"Why didn't it work?" He asked.
"I don't know," Tilkate replied killing more Gibdos with Din's Fire.
Zelda sat up and also began using the Din's Fire.
"What I don't understand is why didn't it work when Han tried," Tilkate commented when all the Gibdos were dead.
"For some reason he doesn't have Din's blessing." Said Zelda.
"But I thought any good and pure person could use it." Tilkate replied.
"Something must have gone wrong," said Han a little too quickly, "maybe I just didn't use it right."
"That's possible," said Tilkate ignoring how quick his response was.
"You know, we've been walking a long way now," he said, "I wonder how close we are to the temple."
"I'm starting to wonder if there's even a way out of here," Tilkate replied.
"Might as well keep going," he replied.
They went into another room. They had high hopes when they saw a ladder and a hole in the ceiling.
"Maybe it leads to the surface!" said Tilkate with excitement.
Zelda began to climb the ladder only to find herself getting knocked off by a Stalfos monster. Tilkate grabbed her dagger and threw it at the Stalfos' neck. The skull was knocked off, but its body kept going. Zelda kicked its legs and moved out of the way before it could strike her down with its sword. Han pulled his sword out and stroke the hand that was carrying its sword. Tilkate grabbed the Stalfos' sword and swung at its rib cage, legs, and arms. It finally gave up and crumbled into pieces.
"Stupid freak," Han commented.
"Yeah," Zelda replied.
Zelda began climbing the ladder what it led to was a huge room. Navi flew into the room and immediately recognized it. "This is where Link fought Koume and Kotake." She said.
"Really? So we're in the Spirit Temple?" Zelda asked.
"Yes," Navi answered.
Han and Tilkate climbed into the room and looked around. They then saw the switch on a platform behind them.
"Thank goodness it's here," said Tilkate with a sigh of relief, "I didn't want to go through the entire temple to find it."
"That makes two of us," Zelda replied sitting down. She was obviously tired again.
Tilkate jumped onto the platform that held the next switch. Like the other switches, it was a crystal that had the color of the temple. When Tilkate began the transformation, the color from the crystal drained and was replaced by the same color, but only darker. Instead of Tilkate saying anything after the transformation was complete, she fell to her knees and put her hands on her head.
"Tilkate, are you alright?" Han asked.
"I can hear the shadows' voices," she said.
"What do you mean?" Zelda asked.
"I heard whispers..they said it was almost time," Tilkate answered.
"I see," Zelda replied, "The remaining creatures in the Dark World knows that Hyrule is about to be their home..but I won't let them keep Hyrule permanently." She stood up and sighed, "Let's get going. We only have one more temple to explore. Then we will get Nindalla's Sword and free Link."
They hurried out of the Spirit Temple as fast as they could. They ran into countless Gibdos and other enemies. When they got closer to the exit, the tougher it was to escape. Zelda felt like she was going to pass out from exhaustion. When they finally got to the exit, they saw something they did not expect. There was a giant black cobra was blocking the exit.
"Oh my goodness.." said Tilkate with horror.
The snake became aware of them and began to slither its way towards them. Tilkate took an arrow from her quiver and shot to snake on the face, but it did not stop. It snapped at them, but they were able to jump out of the way.
It snapped again towards Tilkate, but Han quickly pulled her away from its reach.
"Umm. Guys. I think it's hungry." Tilkate said slowly.
"And I think it wants two females and a male for dinner!" Navi added.
"Y'think?!" Han yelled.
"No, quite frankly, I know." Tilkate smirked.
It snapped and slithered closer towards Zelda.
"HEY! OVER HERE!" Tilkate yelled at the snake. The snake started hissing, slithering towards Tilkate. Her eyes grew wide. "Holy crap. I didn't realize how huge its ugly snapping face is!" Tilkate muttered.
Han pulled out his sword and ran behind the cobra. He drove his sword into its tail. It screeched in pain and turned around. It brought its face close to Han and he sliced its face causing it to bleed. It moved closer to Han with its mouth open. Han jumped on its back.. The snake began swaying madly trying to throw Han off. An arrow from Zelda flew through the air and hit its head, but it did not stop there either.
"It's the giant snake from hell!" Han exclaimed driving his sword into its head.
"Nothing will kill it!" Navi gasped.
"One thing may," said Zelda. She pulled out a special kind of arrow from her quiver. This was called a Light Arrow. She aimed it at the cobra's head. "Han is in the way," she thought. "Han! Jump off it!" She called. Han did as she said and jumped off the snake. Zelda let to arrow fly. When the arrow hit the cobra's head, it swayed back and forth, screeching in pain. It began glowing and disappeared.
Zelda gave a sigh of relief and put her weapons away. Han wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed. "I didn't think that thing was ever gonna die," he said.
"It's a good thing Zelda brought her Light Arrows." Said Tilkate.
"Yeah," Zelda replied, "We need to get out of here, it may be dark outside for all we know. It's going to be hard to track the River of Sand and the Haunted Wasteland in the dark."
"Very dark now," said Han.
"I'm not looking forward to this," Tilkate sighed.
They walked outside and found that their rough journey started off bad. There was an army of Anubis waiting outside. There was about twenty or thirty of them.
"They're weak against fire," said Navi.
"Do you have anymore more of those Din's Fire spells?" Han asked.
"Only a few," Zelda answered.
"We could get quite of few of them then," he said.
The Anubis began charging their way towards the four. Zelda ran towards them and stopped. She took out the clear and orange crystal and slammed it against the ground. She got five of the Anubis.
Han held his shield in front of him and used his sword to cut them down. Tilkate used arrows to shoot them.
Zelda had used up the last of her spells and there was only five left. She then formed an energy ball and threw it at an Anubis.
The sun had already gone down by time they were finished defeating the army. They would have to track the desert at night. Or would they?
"There's a Great Fairy cave over there," said Navi, "We could stop there to recover our energy."
"Maybe she can restock my supply of spells," said Zelda.
"Better yet," said Tilkate, "maybe she can let us stay the night."
"That's a good idea." Zelda replied.
They walked inside the Great Fairy's cave. Zelda walked up to the pool of water, but was surprised when she saw the water was black.
"What happened?" Navi gasped.
"Let me see if I can summon her," said Zelda making her harp appear. She played the song of the royal family. Instead of the Great Fairy coming from the water, a demon like beast came out. It had red glowing eyes and long horns on its head. Its body was covered in black fur and its teeth were long and sharp. Navi screamed and flew out of the cave followed by Zelda, Han, and Tilkate.
"What was that thing?!" Han gasped.
"It must be a beast from the Dark World," said Zelda.
"What happened the Great Fairy?" Navi asked.
"I don't know," Zelda answered.
"I wonder if all the Great Fairy's caves are like that," said Han.
They heard a roar come from the cave.
"We need to get out of here now," said Zelda. They nodded in agreement, but had no idea how they would be able to journey across the desert in the dark especially since they were now in the Dark part of Hyrule.
Navi stayed in front of them to give light while the rest stayed close behind. As they were about a quarter way into the Haunted Wasteland, they saw a small light come towards them. They had their hands on their weapons just in case it was an enemy.
The closer it got the more it looked like a fairy. It was a fairy, but it wasn't a round, ball of light like fairy, it looked like an elf that was only five inches tall with wings. It had long brown hair and green eyes.
"Hello," she said in a high voice.
"Who are you?" Zelda asked.
"I am a fairy of the Dark World," she answered, "but fear not. I am not your enemy. I wish to help you get out of the Dark Wasteland."
"We appreciate any help you can give us," said Zelda.
"It is the least I can do," said the fairy, "After all, you did free me from the Dark World."
"I have one question," said Navi.
"Yes?" the fairy asked.
"What is a fairy like you doing in the Dark World?"
"I am the only pure, good creature living in the Dark World," the fairy answered, "I have longed to be free from that awful place."
"What is your name?" Zelda asked.
"My name is Janie," the fairy answered.
"Well, Janie, we are ready to go," said Zelda.
Things were different now that they were in the Dark Gerudo's land, but Janie lived in the Dark World and knew her way through the place. She was great help getting through the desert. They didn't know what they would have done without her help.
When they were back in Gerudo Valley they got their horses and went back to Hyrule field.
"Where should we stay for the night?" Han asked.
"When we left Kakiriko Village, there were no monsters," said Zelda, "because only Death Mountain's area is dark."
"So what you're saying is that it would be safe to stay in Kakiriko Village again?" He asked.
"Yes," she answered.
"Then let's go because I am exhausted," said Tilkate yawning.
A/N: I got a question! Should I keep Janie with Zelda and the others or have her fly off and do her own thing. I need your opinions please. Thanks! And thanks to my sister (Author pen name is Sunshine Stargirl and she's my new beta reader) for suggesting the name.
Chapter 7:
After an hour or so Zelda and Han came back with the other two horses, Zelda looked extremely exhausted. They decided that they would spend the night in Tilkate's old house in Gerudo Valley. Her house was small, but it did have a bed for each of them to sleep in. There was also a small stable outside for the horses. Han took to horses to the stable while Zelda and Tilkate got ready for bed.
"I am so tired." Said Zelda.
"I can tell." Tilkate replied.
"I don't understand," said Zelda, "I used to not get tired a lot, but now.."
"How long have you been like this?" Tilkate asked.
"I don't know," Zelda answered, "maybe a month."
"What do you do when you're in battle?" Tilkate asked.
"Well, I use the Triforce for a little bit of energy," Zelda answered.
"I thought that takes up energy," Tilkate commented.
"I've been using it for a long time so I have learned to control it more," Zelda replied.
"I see," said Tilkate, "I've also noticed your eating habits. When we take a break, you seem very hungry."
"Yeah I know," Zelda replied, "I used to be able to control hunger.I don't know what's wrong with me."
"Call me crazy, but I think I do," said Tilkate.
"What?" Zelda asked.
"Is it possible that you're pregnant?" Tilkate asked.
"Me.. Pregnant?" Zelda replied surprised by Tilkate's suggestion.
"It's extremely possible," Tilkate replied, "You're tired a lot, you have to rely on the Triforce for energy, you're eating a lot more, and you sometimes have weird mood swings."

"Might as well keep going," he replied.
They went into another room. They had high hopes when they saw a ladder and a hole in the ceiling.
"Maybe it leads to the surface!" said Tilkate with excitement.
Zelda began to climb the ladder only to find herself getting knocked off by a Stalfos monster. Tilkate grabbed her dagger and threw it at the Stalfos' neck. The skull was knocked off, but its body kept going. Zelda kicked its legs and moved out of the way before it could strike her down with its sword. Han pulled his sword out and stroke the hand that was carrying its sword. Tilkate grabbed the Stalfos' sword and swung at its rib cage, legs, and arms. It finally gave up and crumbled into pieces.
"Stupid freak," Han commented.
"Yeah," Zelda replied.
Zelda began climbing the ladder what it led to was a huge room. Navi flew into the room and immediately recognized it. "This is where Link fought Koume and Kotake." She said.
"Really? So we're in the Spirit Temple?" Zelda asked.
"Yes," Navi answered.
Han and Tilkate climbed into the room and looked around. They then saw the switch on a platform behind them.
"Thank goodness it's here," said Tilkate with a sigh of relief, "I didn't want to go through the entire temple to find it."
"That makes two of us," Zelda replied sitting down. She was obviously tired again.

They hurried out of the Spirit Temple as fast as they could. They ran into countless Gibdos and other enemies. When they got closer to the exit, the tougher it was to escape. Zelda felt like she was going to pass out from exhaustion. When they finally got to the exit, they saw something they did not expect. There was a giant black cobra was blocking the exit.

"That's a good idea." Zelda replied.
They walked inside the Great Fairy's cave. Zelda walked up to the pool of water, but was surprised when she saw the water was black.
"What happened?" Navi gasped.
"Let me see if I can summon her," said Zelda making her harp appear. She played the song of the royal family. Instead of the Great Fairy coming from the water, a demon like beast came out. It had red glowing eyes and long horns on its head. Its body was covered in black fur and its teeth were long and sharp. Navi screamed and flew out of the cave followed by Zelda, Han, and Tilkate.
"What was that thing?!" Han gasped.
"It must be a beast from the Dark World," said Zelda.
"What happened the Great Fairy?" Navi asked.
"I don't know," Zelda answered.
"I wonder if all the Great Fairy's caves are like that," said Han.
They heard a roar come from the cave.
"We need to get out of here now," said Zelda. They nodded in agreement, but had no idea how they would be able to journey across the desert in the dark especially since they were now in the Dark part of Hyrule.
Navi stayed in front of them to give light while the rest stayed close behind. As they were about a quarter way into the Haunted Wasteland, they saw a small light come towards them. They had their hands on their weapons just in case it was an enemy.
The closer it got the more it looked like a fairy. It was a fairy, but it wasn't a round, ball of light like fairy, it looked like an elf that was only five inches tall with wings. It had long brown hair and green eyes.
"Hello," she said in a high voice.
"Who are you?" Zelda asked.
"I am a fairy of the Dark World," she answered, "but fear not. I am not your enemy. I wish to help you get out of the Dark Wasteland."
"We appreciate any help you can give us," said Zelda.
"It is the least I can do," said the fairy, "After all, you did free me from the Dark World."
"I have one question," said Navi.
"Yes?" the fairy asked.
"What is a fairy like you doing in the Dark World?"
"I am the only pure, good creature living in the Dark World," the fairy answered, "I have longed to be free from that awful place."
"What is your name?" Zelda asked.
"My name is Janie," the fairy answered.
"Well, Janie, we are ready to go," said Zelda.
Things were different now that they were in the Dark Gerudo's land, but Janie lived in the Dark World and knew her way through the place. She was great help getting through the desert. They didn't know what they would have done without her help.
When they were back in Gerudo Valley they got their horses and went back to Hyrule field.
"Where should we stay for the night?" Han asked.
"When we left Kakiriko Village, there were no monsters," said Zelda, "because only Death Mountain's area is dark."
"So what you're saying is that it would be safe to stay in Kakiriko Village again?" He asked.
"Yes," she answered.
"Then let's go because I am exhausted," said Tilkate yawning.
A/N: I got a question! Should I keep Janie with Zelda and the others or have her fly off and do her own thing. I need your opinions please. Thanks! And thanks to my sister (Author pen name is Sunshine Stargirl and she's my new beta reader) for suggesting the name.
