The Secret of the Sages
Disclaimer: What do you think, honestly?
A/N: Congratulations to "Too lazy to sign in" who decided to point out that Sheik and Zelda are the same person!! I do know that, so does everyone else in this category, but I have yet to see anyone who actually cares. You can do so much more if they are separate.
Nabooru, Dar and Darunia enter the Haunted Wasteland. Nabooru uses her Sage powers to bring them across the River of Sand. Once across, Dar takes the lead. After about an hour of searching, they still haven't found anything.
"Are you sure you know where you are going?" Nabooru asks. Dar doesn't look back at her.
"Yes I know where I am going." He says. Nabooru just sighs. Darunia decides to stay out of it. Finally, they come on a cave. Dar goes in first, then Nabooru and Darunia follow him. For a while, it is a downhill walk in almost complete darkness. Then gradually they start to see a glow. As they get deeper, the glow gets more intense until it is able to completely light the whole place up. Nabooru looks along the walls. It is the plants growing here that are giving off that glow. She takes a closer look. They look like flowers.
"Wow...."Nabooru isn't easily impressed.
"This is amazing." Darunia says. Dar doesn't seem like he really cares though. He says he has been down here before....so maybe he has already seen all this. Nabooru gets up from her inspection, then looks ahead. In front of them is a huge building. It must be the Lucrien Temple.
"So this must be it." Nabooru says. Dar nods.
"Heh, heh, heh... so, the Gerudo Sage has appeared..." The three of them try to find the origin of the voice. But while they are looking, something else happens.
"HEY!" Nabooru shouts. Dar and Darunia turn just in time to see her become trapped in a crystal. She draws her scimitar and tries to hack her way free.
"Trololf!!" Dar shouts. The male Gerudo appears in front of them.
"Well, it certainly has been a long time, hasn't it?" Trololf says. "How are you all?" Dar isn't impressed. Darunia is now using a Megaton Hammer on the crystal, and it isn't doing anything.
"Release her NOW!" Dar shouts. Trololf just shakes his head.
"Oh dear, now, you simply must get a hold of that temper. It will do you no good." He smiles. "Now that I have the Gerudo Sage, my plans can truly begin!" He disappears, and so does the crystal with Nabooru. The two Gorons look at each other.
"Zelda's going to be pissed....."Darunia says. Dar heads to the temple.
"All the more reason for us to hurry." He replies. They both head into the temple.
**Back with Link and Saria**
"This place is pretty." Saria remarks. Link nods. They are standing at the edge of the lake. There is no bridge, and the water seems...well, just not like water.
"There has to be a way in...."Link says. Saria thinks for a bit.
"ANYONE HOME???!!!" She shouts. Link looks at her.
"Yeah, like that's going to work." Link frowns, then looks down.
"What do you want here?" Link looks up, and Saria is looking smug. (Sorry, I just wanted to make Link look a bit dumb.) On one of the towers of the Temple, is a person. From here, they can't make out what kind of person though.
"We need to speak to the Sage!" Saria shouts back. The person up there is silent for a moment.
"Who are you to ask?!"
"I am Saria, Sage of the Forest." Saria seems to be getting nervous. Then, the person up there does something completely unexpected. He climbs up on the tower.............and jumps down. Saria lets out a shriek. Link starts looking for where he will land. The person then makes a perfect 3- point landing right in front of them.
"Was that really necessary?" Link asks.
"Doors are overrated." He says. He looks Link over. "So you are the new Hero of Time? Having fun yet?"
"Oh yeah, loads." Link replies. "So what's your name? Or do we just say 'hey you'?"
"Sorry. My name is Hilron. I am the Solar Sage. So what brings you guys here?"
"Does the name 'Trololf' sound familiar to you?" Link asks. Hilron's face clouds over.
"Yeah.....he destroyed our Hero of Time." Hilron is acting like it is all his fault.
"Well, he escaped, and we need help to defeat him...we were told you and the other former sages could help us." Hilron thinks a moment.
"Have you even met the others?" he asks.
"Well, we have met Lylan...." Saria says. Then she seems to think a moment. "Hey, you know....Dar told us you were paranoid."
"You haven't seen the inside of this temple yet. I knew you were coming for a few hours now." Link and Saria sweatdrop. Hilron just smiles.
"I'm not asking....." Link says.
"How do you get in there anyway?" Saria asks.
"Sorry, that's a secret. Can't tell ya." Hilron starts to walk away. "Well, are we going or not?" They all start to head off to Hyrule Castle.
**Let's check in on Sheik and Impa, shall we?**
"It's getting hot..." Sheik complains. They have reached the ruins they were looking for, and have been searching them. Impa doesn't even look up at him.
"Maybe if you take some of those bandages off...." Impa lets the statement hang. Sheik gets mad.
"Do I tell you how to dress?!" he shouts. Impa just sighs, then goes back to searching. Then she suddenly looks up.
"What..." she whispers. Sheik heard her anyway.
"What's wrong?" he asks. Impa shakes her head.
"I am not sure...it felt like one of our sages just...disappeared." Sheik looks at her worried.
"Let's hurry and find this temple." He says. It doesn't take them much longer to find it. Or rather....what's left of it. The temple is nothing but ruins. Impa carefully goes in. Sheik goes around the outside. There is pretty much nothing left. After they search a bit more, they both meet up near the front.
"Anything?" Sheik asks. Impa shakes her head.
"Not even a clue." She says. This isn't good.
"So now what?"
"We have to report to Zelda." They teleport back to Hyrule Castle.
