The Secret of the Sages
Disclaimer: The same as always. It's not going to change. Not in this lifetime anyway.
Ruto and Reiyno have gone around the building three times. Each time, it seems to shift. They still haven't found a way in. They are back on the path that they came up on. They just stand there staring at it.
"This is getting ridiculous." Ruto says. There must be a way in."
"It would help if we knew what kind of person the inhabitant was." Reiyno says. "Hmmmmm..." Ruto looks at him. He seems to be getting an idea.
"Care to share with the rest of us?" she asks.
"What about underwater?" he says. He goes up and jumps into the river running underneath. Ruto is right behind him. They go up to where it flows into the building, only to find a grate. They examine it a moment.
"Now what?" Ruto asks. Reiyno grabs onto the grate and starts pulling. It won't budge. "Tell me you honestly didn't think it would be that easy." Ruto comments. Reiyno just shakes his head.
"Can't blame me for hoping." He responds. He lets go and they both try to figure out another way in. Ruto suddenly looks up.
"Do you hear some kind of buzzing noise?" she asks. Reiyno listens for a moment, then nods.
"Now that you mention it...." They turn around, and come face to face with 2 huge electric eels.
**main group! At Hyrule Castle!**
The group is in Hyrule Castle's main library. Lylan sits at one of the desks as Impa puts the book in front of her. She opens the book. After a few moments, she looks up.
"This is Lucrien all right." She responds. "Most of it seems to be their history. But this part here......." she points to a page in the book, "This tells us where their temple is.....but at the same time, it doesn't."
"How about in layman's terms." Nabooru says. Lylan looks up at her.
"It says 'you will find the temple of the Lucrien where the sun never shines, plants flourish, and the river is always dry.' That is what it boils down to." Sheik goes over and looks at the book. Zelda sits down hard on one of the couches. Nabooru just exchanges glances with Saria. Link is determined as always.
"So what kind of place is that?" Zelda finally asks.
"The sun never shines, the river is always dry, yet plants flourish. That doesn't make sense!" Saria exclaims. Impa looks over at Lylan.
"Do you have any idea what that could mean?" she asks. Lylan looks down.
"I'm sorry." Link whistles. This is going to be harder than they thought.
**Wakie, wakie Rauru!**
Rauru wakes up in the middle of some field. He has no idea where he is...until he looks up and sees the Temple of Light right in front of him. He mentally chides himself, then heads inside. He has to warn everyone. He heads to the transport chamber as fast as he can.
"I have to hurry......" he thinks. But then he suddenly stops. Why did he just let him go? Something is nagging at the back of his mind. But since he can't quite place it, he heads to the Temple of Time.
**Zora Fight!!**
Reiyno is using his fin blades to slice up the eels. Ruto is using her sage magic. Neither seems to have much effect. But they keep pounding away. The shield Ruto put up is almost worn away. They can't keep this up much longer. Ruto tries to sneak up from behind them to get a stronger hit in, but the eels seem to anticipate that move. One of them grabs her with its tail and swings her back around. Reiyno manages to catch her before she can hit the building, but ends up slamming into it himself.
"Reiyno!" Ruto cries. He is getting up, but very slowly. The eels charge them again. They both brace for a huge impact, but it never comes. They look up carefully...and see both eels being shocked out of their senses. They retreat very quickly, leaving only another figure standing there. It slowly turns to the couple. It looks like a Zora, but rougher.
"What are you doing here?!" She asks. Ruto looks her straight in the eye.
"We are looking for the previous generation of Sages." She says. The other Zora backs up a bit.
"So that's why they attacked......" Ruto looks at her.
"Care to explain that comment?" Reiyno says.
"I suppose I should introduce myself first......" she stands up straight. "I am Elene, Sage of the Eclipse. I am a River Zora." She looks them over a bit. "Sea Zoras too weak to use an electric barrier?" she says smiling.
"That's not funny." Ruto says. "I am the Zora Princess." Elene smirks at her.
"You're not my princess." She says. Ruto growls a bit. "We are out of your home. Out here, we answer to no one." She turns back to where the eels were. "I think a certain someone knows of your quest......"
"And who is that 'certain someone'?" Reiyno asks. Elene presses a button on the side of the temple. The grate disappears. Elene goes in, and motions for them to follow. Ruto and Reiyno look at each other, then follow.
