Chapter 5: Separated Lovers
It had been days since Zelda had been thrown from the castle. She was starting to despair for Link. She knew Ganondorf didn't play games, especially with Link. She had hoped he would fly out after her, but he didn't. She could only guess what had happened between Malondorf and Link, and she didn't count on the best circumstances. She had been wandering around for days, not quite sure what to do; or how to live the life of the common people of Hyrule. She had figured out whereto go to get needed supplies, like food and water, but hadn't yet figured out what there was to pass the time.
Link, on the other hand, was becoming quite hungry. He had found a small stream in the dungeons of the castle, but no food. He was actually beginning to look for anything he could eat, including rats or other rodents. His clothes were looking shabby and he was very dusty and gritty. He suddenly remembered why he hates to hide from anything.
"If I'm going to die, I'll die fighting, not in some dark hole." He said standing up "I will fight Malondorf."
He drew the Master Sword and started to walk up towards the throne room. A little voice in the back of his head started nagging him, "you can't hurt Malon, you couldn't do it then and you won't do it now." Link ignored it and kept walking. Little did Link know, Malondorf anticipated this move and had her minions patrol the castle constantly. Link was walking down the hallway when he encountered two Stalfos knights. They had their backs to him, and he used this to his advantage. He ran up, Master sword held high and glowing faintly, and sliced through one Stalfoses armor and spine. That Stalfos collapsed in a puff of smoke. His buddy countered Links attempted blow with uncommon speed for a Stalfos. Link and the Stalfos dueled for several minutes and finally, using a back flip stab combination, Link emerged the victor.
"What a weird couple of Stalfos." Link whispered to himself "I almost had to try to beat that one."
He continued to mutter under his breath while he walked still further into the castle, towards the throne room. He passed many rooms, which all had memories of his beloved Zelda. These memories only fortified his will to defeat Malondorf and reunite with Zelda. He eventually reached the large bronze doors that lead to the throne room.
"Well, now for the showdown." He whispered "prepare yourself Malondorf."
Zelda had been receiving vague feelings of dread and dark omen. She knew Link would soon challenge Malondorf, and she knew she was needed for his victory. She saw Link in her sleep, dirty and raggedy, determined to defeat that which he could not hurt. She was franticly searching her memory for any help, anything that would allow her back into the castle. She then remembered her first meting with Link, all those many years ago. He had snuck past the guards after he had crawled through the water gate. Could she do it? Would she fit in that tiny hole? She didn't know. But she was going to try. She ran towards the castle gate, not caring what the commoners thought of a "sheikah" running full speed for the castle. She reached the gate and saw that her plan was going to be harder than she thought to accomplish. Malondorf had Shadowfols, Stalfos with the invisibility of Bongo Bongo, patrolling the grounds. She was lucky, for if she was not a sage, she would not be able to see them. She performed a perfect back flip sheikah jump, and landed quietly on the other side of the gate. The shadowfols were unaware of her presence and for that she was thankful. She found herself mentally thanking Ganondorf for forcing her to hide and learn these techniques, as they help her now. She quickly and quietly ran to the fairy's fountain, where she stayed until the next patrol passed. As soon as they did she ran for the flower beds Link had hidden in when he broke into the castle. She again waited for the next patrol to pass and ran for the moat. She slipped into the moat so silently, not a ripple was made, or a splash heard. She swam to the water gate and pulled herself onto the platform. She was sopping wet, and night was approaching. You're going to catch a cold if you're not careful, she chided herself. She then laid down on her stomach and tried to squeeze through the opening. The water in the gate was cold against her stomach. She was lucky to be in the sheik form. She just barely fit though. On the other side, she got a big surprise. No guards. Malondorf must not of known about this entrance. Zelda made her way to the courtyard where they met and climbed In through one of the windows. The window she chose was one of the throne room windows and she came in just as Link and Malondorf were about to engage in battle.
