The Rise:

     A meeting had been called during Links vacation regarding an eighth sage.  The Sage of Life.  No one is quite sure what this sage shall do, but Rauru strongly believes that they will show themselves when the time is right, and show their true purpose.  The search is on for Link and Darunia while the other sages try and old the barrier that keeps Ganon out.  Darunia sticks to his job and trains at the same time.  As for Link, well…

     Link had been having a great week with Malon.  Each day they grew closer and closer and not one kiss was shared.  This day, Link was planning on taking Malon to Lake Hylia.  He couldn't wait to bring her down there and watch her sit by the water.  He got Epona all saddled up and ready to go.  He called up to Malon who came flying down the stairs with her hair flowing behind her.  Link lifted Malon up onto the back of Epona and then climbed on behind her.  He brought his arms around her waists and tugged the reigns and Epona started to move.

     "Hey you!" Talon yelled from the house, "Don't you bring her back late ya here?"

     Link blushed and replied, "No problem Mr. Talon."

     "Oh daddy I'll be with Link.  What could possibly happen?"

     Talon grunted and walked back inside.  Link kicked the side of Epona and they flew off towards Lake Hylia.  When they arrived, Link jumped off then graciously lent a helping hand to Malon.  She accepted and jumped down next to him.  He smiled down at her and then grabbed the food they prepared for the picnic.

     "It sure is beautiful out here," Malon said as she stared out beyond the lake, "I've only been here a few times.  The colors are so amazing."

     Linked stared at Malon, "Yeah, beautiful."

     The two ate in silence then decided to take a nap under the warm sun.  Link gestured Malon to lay down next to him and she did so.  He wraped an arm around her and she laid her head on his chest listening to his heart beat.  They both closed their eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile in the Temple of Light:

     "What the hell is going on!?" Ruto asked a bit shaken up.

     "I don't know!  But I sense a great evil!"  Saria replied.

     "She's right, I can't believe it, but I believe it is about to happen."  Nabooru spoke up.

     "We have failed…" Rauru said, "Prepare to defend yourselves!"

     The room grew an ominous shade of gray while sounds of rumbling began tearing the infrastructure of the building.  Suddenly a purple-like portal opened up and a shadowy caped figure floated through.  He laughed a bit and just hovered in place before the four sages.  The four looked on in horror waited for their enemy to make its first move.

     "Wait for it, wait for it, wait for it!"

     The shadowy figure raised a hand and pointed a finger at one of the sages, "Now!" yelled Rauru.

     The sages attacked the shadowy figure not noticing that one of them had already fallen.  Saria was shot through the heart by a beam and killed instantly, while the others attacked with everything they had.

     Ruto was the next to die.  She missed her strike and the figure snapped her neck with one swift motion.  Rauru and Nabooru halted and stared in horror.  The figure stepped into the light and it was none other than Gannon, "Resistance is futile.  Join me or die"  Ganon said with a deep menacing voice.

     "Never," Came the voice of a worn out Nabooru, "we will never join you."

     "Very well you little bitch!" Ganon raised his hand and stuck her in the face knocking her unconscious.

     "Ahhhh, Rauru.  How I have longed for this day."

     "Do your worst you pile of shit."

     "That's not very nice old man!" Ganon began swirling around the elder, "You should learn to respect your superiors.  Just for that, I wont kill you."

     "What!?"

     "No, I want you to watch you pathetic land fall to ruins.  Then watch me kill Link!"

     "You will never get away with this!"

     Ganon stopped circling his prey then settled down in front of him, "Oh really?  Who is going to stop me?"

     "You'll see!  When you see him, you will know!"

     All Ganon could do was laugh, "You are hilarious old man!  Know one can stop me.  I am the strongest man in the world."

     "That's what you think.  You're a fucking choir boy compared to this fighter!"

     "Enough!"  Ganon struck down Rauru and opened a portal to the Temple of Time, "I am tired of playing this stupid games with you.  It is time for my succession.  It is time for the rise!"

     Ganon hovered and floated into the portal which took him to the Temple.  Rauru stared on in shock and disbelief knowing that he could do nothing to help his land now.  It was now up to Link.  He would finally face his true destiny.

Temple of Time:

     Ganon came through into the Temple and looked at his surroundings.  He was disgusted with the amount of light coming in.  That would soon change though.  He would soon cover the land into a second darkness.

     Ganon pushed his energy downwards propelling himself up.  He burst through the roof and stared off toward the castle and laugh to himself, "I shall reclaim this land as my own.  Let the rise began!"

     As a dark cloud started to form over the Temple of Time and spread of the lands of Hyrule, Ganon flew off towards to claim his revenge upon Zelda, and Link.  The second darkness had begun.

How about that?  Took me long enough but it's up.  Hoepfully it wont be slow like that again.  I wanna get this story done soon.  AP classes are annoying and don't give me a lot of time to write.  So ya.  PLZZZ R and R!
