The Secret of the Sages
Disclaimer: I still don't own it. I'm poor.
Darunia stands ready to fight. The Megaton Hammer is slightly above his head, ready to come crashing down on a moment's notice. The figure slowly rises out of the stone box. It seems to be moving slowly. Darunia backs up, not wanting it to get in the first shot. The figure finally stands upright. It looks like a Goron, but its back is turned to him. Slowly, it turns around. As it does, it pulls out a very familiar sword. It is a Biggoron's Sword. Darunia puts the hammer away and pulls out his own. The figure finally faces him, and they just stare at each other a moment.
"I am Darunia.....Slayer of Volvagia......Hero of the Gorons....Sage of Rock in the Sacred Circle of Sages. Explain who you are and why you are here." The figure says this in complete monotone. Not bragging, but stating fact. Darunia stands up straight.
"I am Darunia, Leader of the Gorons, Sage of Fire in the sacred circle of Sages." He says, matching the pattern that the other gave him. Then he thinks a moment. "You are called Darunia also?" (A/N: I know this is going to get confusing, but it sounds cooler this way)
"Yes. So you are a descendant." He looks over Darunia a bit. "So, you are the next generation. Call me Dar. It will be easier." Dar looks around. "It has been a while since I have seen the outside of this prison." Darunia looks at him.
"Is what is written true?" he asks. "Your Hero of Time was destroyed?" Dar looks down.
"I don't think he was destroyed, but he was most certainly not alive anymore." Dar thinks a moment. "It was like his very soul was taken from him. Trololf must have done something.....but we could never find out what."
"So that is why you are all sealed in here?" Darunia asks. Dar nods. For a long moment, they both just look at each other. To an onlooker, it would have been like Darunia was looking in a mirror. With the exception of a few features on the face, they look exactly alike. Dar looks up.
"Are the other sages also searching for my generation?" Dar asks. Darunia nods. "Then they are all in danger."
"What do you mean?" Darunia asks.
"If Trololf finds out, he will set traps around. Not to mention that the Solar Sage is a little.....I guess you would say paranoid."
"Will you help us? We need to defeat this evil." Dar thinks a moment, then nods.
"Yes. I will help as much as I can." They both start to leave the temple.
**Temple of Time**
Nabooru, Sheik, Impa, and Zelda are standing in the Master Sword room. Nabooru and Impa are standing on their respective symbols, while Zelda and Sheik are in the center. They have been there for the past three hours.
"Face it Zelda, something is seriously wrong." Nabooru says. Zelda nods.
"I realize that, but we should still be able to get into the Temple of Light.." Zelda tries again, only to be blocked by the same force. Sheik looks at her worried.
"What if something happened to Rauru?" he asks. The three girls look at him a moment. "It was just an idea......" he says. Zelda seems to think of something. She closes her eyes.
///Rauru..../// she calls telepathically.
///.................................../// It is silence, but she knows that Rauru can hear her.
///Rauru......it's Zelda.....please.........///
///Hide...........Nabooru......./// Zelda blinks at the response. But she can't connect anymore. She turns to the others.
"Zelda?" Impa asks.
"You were right, Sheik." Zelda says. Then she turns to Nabooru. "He says to 'hide Nabooru'." The Gerudo Sage looks like she will be in shock.
"What?" she asks. "I can protect myself." Zelda starts to respond, but stops. They all listen closely.
"Don't worry. They must have found something by now." The voice sounds like Link. Zelda runs out of the temple with the others in hot pursuit. When they get back to the market, they see Link, Saria, and another woman they don't recognize.
"Link!" Zelda cries. Link turns around and sees her. Both groups come together.
"Zelda! Have you found anything?" he asks. Saria looks up at her. Nabooru is staring at the other girl suspiciously.
"Perhaps you better explain who this is." Zelda says.
"This is Lylan, one of the former Sages. She is the Sage of Life." Saria explains. Nabooru relaxes, but only a little. Lylan is openly staring at her.
"A GERUDO!?" She exclaims. Nabooru is about two steps from grabbing her swords. Impa steps between them.
"Yes, she is a Gerudo. You are very perceptive." Impa says. Nabooru growls a bit, but backs off.
"But..... Trololf is a Gerudo King...." Nabooru's eyes widen at that statement.
"Wasn't there a Gerudo in your group?" Zelda asks. Lylan shakes her head.
"No. There was me (Kokiri), a Goron, a River Zora, a Sheikah, a Hylian, and a Lucrien."
"What's a Lucrien?" Sheik asks. Lylan looks down.
"They are extinct now." She says. "They were said to live on the Moon. But, something happened, and there are no more of them now."
"If they lived on the moon.....then..." Saria voices what everyone else is thinking.
"No, their temple was here in Hyrule...But even I don't know where." Zelda thinks a moment. Sheik goes up to Lylan.
"Can you read their language?" he asks. Lylan nods, although the question confuses her. Zelda catches on though.
"Lets go back to the castle." She says. They all head over.
**Poor Rauru........**
The Lizafos aren't that strong, but since there are two of them, it makes things difficult. On top of that, Zelda had to choose that time for a telepathic chat. Rauru can only hope that he can't eavesdrop on that kind of speech. He finally pushes one of the creatures free, but the other is on him without missing a beat.
"Well, Sage, are you ready to talk?" Trololf says. "Or should I give you another playmate......" Rauru decides to break his silence.
"The Evil Realm wants you to go back." He says. (A/N: Their way of saying "go to hell") The Gerudo King just laughs.
"Oh, please. That place just doesn't suit me. But Hyrule, as its supreme ruler...." He looks up, almost savoring the thought. "There is more than one way to get that. I know of your little princess." Rauru pushes the other Lizafos back. They stop attacking. He stands there, not sure why. Trololf finally looks at him. "Her hand.....no one can dispute that....when I conquer it, I will take her for my bride, whether she likes it or not. Then, not one of you can deny me." Rauru can't believe what he just heard. Maybe Nabooru isn't the one who should be hidden...... he looks up just in time to see Trololf blast a ball of dark energy at him.
To be continued.....
