Disclaimer: I do not own The Legend of Zelda
Chapter 3- The Guardian of the Door
"Zelda, is it just me, or do these stairs look exactly like the ones that led to Gannondorf's room?" Yeah, that is starting to creep me out. Ughhh, bad memories…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Flashback)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"These toys are too much for you! Now give them to me!"
"No you long nosed, green skinned freak of nature!"
"Then I guess I'll have to do this the hard way…"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(End flashback)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Well Link," Zelda said snapping me back to reality. "I'm assuming this is the part of the castle Gannondorf transformed into his room."
"Oh."
We kept walking up those nearly endless stairs all the way to the large, circular room at the top.
"AAAAAHHHHH!" I looked to see what Zelda was screaming at, and I gasped too. A dark purple glow was being emitted from the golden door in front of us, and Zelda and I could only watch in terror as a huge, almost bird-like creature came out of the darkness. It looked as though it was partly rotting flesh held up by machinery. Four spider-like legs supported its body, and although three of its four arms looked natural, one had a rusty circular blade where one of its clawed hands would normally be.
Eww, that thing is gross!
Without thinking I drew my sword and struck the beast with my sword, only to find that the flesh cut off grew right back. The creature lunged at me and tried to slash me with its claws, but I managed to only get a few minor scratches. The monster then grabbed my waist with one of its claws, and punched me across the room with one of its other hands.
"Uhhhhh" I was groaning while sitting next to the now crumbling stone wall. Now you might have felt hurt now and then, but you really don't know pain until you've been punched into a stone wall by that thing. I have no idea why I didn't die right there and then, but it seemed the goddesses didn't want me to join them yet. I managed to use whatever strength I had left to pull out a royal blue colored potion. I took a sip and my strength immediately came back to me. A couple of my cuts stopped bleeding and began to disappear. The monster wasn't done with me though; it rushed toward me and grabbed my waist again. There was a loud humming sound as its blade began to whirl.
Oooohhh craaaap. It's going to slice my head off! Oh wait! I think I feel my bow and arrows!
I managed to squeeze out my bow and ice arrows; I nocked one in and fired straight at its head, ice then covering every part of its body. I easily slid out of the icy hand on to the floor.
Uh oh…
The iced creature was shaking rapidly. Suddenly, there was a large shattering sound. The monster broke out of the ice! No more mister nice guy…I nocked another arrow, but this time the arrow burst into flame as it soared through the air; straight into its chest. The monster screeched in pain as its flesh burnt away, revealing the metal and its core; a black orb.
I fired one last arrow from my bow; this one was glowing with blinding light. As it struck the monster's core, it screamed once again while the metal "skeleton" fell to the ground.
I ran to Zelda, who was in the corner trying to stay away from the battle.
"Zelda (gasp) what was (gasp) that (gasp) thing?" Yeah Zelda, what is that part bird, part machine, part spider, and part something almost as scary as Majora?
"They're called bloodstocks. They're supposed to be nearly extinct and very powerful. They were also one of Gannondorf's most powerful creations, but they started killing each other, so there are only a few left. However, they didn't get left behind in the other time line, because of the dark magic in their core."
"That's nice Zelda." I didn't feel in the mood for a lecture on bloodstock history.
I sat down and popped open the bottle that held one of my blue potions and took another sip. Instantly I felt my energy come back. Even more of my bruises and scrapes healed too. I hopped back up. "Zelda, stay here. I don't want you to get hurt in the next room."
Goddesses, that sounded so cheesy.
I stepped towards the golden door leading to the next chamber.

CLIFFHANGER!!!! Finally, another chapter is done. Ready for the next one? I'm pretty sure that's where the true plot begins………………………………
If you were wondering what age Link is, he's 13, this is about 2 years after Majora's Mask. Can anybody tell where I got the bloodstock from? If you do know, please say in a review!
More people need to review! I'm losing inspiration here! I accept all reviews, weather they be good or bad! People who are reading this story and not reviewing, please just take a couple of minutes to write something. I don't care if it's a flame… okay; maybe I do, but just write something!
C-ya!
