The Secret of the Sages





Disclaimer: I don't own Zelda





Nabooru and Oloken step back as the Stalfos advance. Neither seems to have any idea of what to do. Nabooru pulls out her scimitars, then looks a bit surprised. She didn't expect them to still be there. Apparently, Trololf is pretty confident of himself. Oloken notices her expression.

"Yeah, he's kinda cocky. But he is still dangerous." She says. Nabooru just nods. Oloken pulls out a long sword. They both get into a ready position.

"I guess we have to fight our way out...." Nabooru comments. Oloken nods.

"Don't wear yourself out too early.....this could take a while...." Oloken joins Nabooru in the charge.



**Back with the Gorons and the Lucrien**



The group is almost at the castle. Actually, they are entering the market. Tyrn has drawn his cloak so he can't be seen by anyone. Darunia looks confused at that move.

"I don't see the point of that....."he says.

"People.............not.........familiar.....Lucrien.......gone........from. ......world......" Tyrn says. Darunia nods. Dar looks up ahead.

"Hey Darunia, will they let us in?" He asks. Darunia thinks a moment.

"I see what you mean." He says. He decides to do the next best thing. They all enter the Temple of Time. When they enter, they see Impa standing there.

"Who may I ask is this?" She asks pointing to Tyrn.

"Hopefully the last of the Former Sages." Darunia responds. Impa just looks down.

"Sorry, still one more to go....." Impa looks like she is taking it personally. Dar steps up.

"What happened?" He asks.

"The temple is in ruins, and there was no sign of the Sage...." The group looks at each other. This isn't good.

"Sheikan...........sage..........with........Gerudo.........sage......"Tyrn says. Everyone turns to....it? Impa scowls.

"That can't be good....wasn't Nabooru with you?"

"Yeah......but Trololf is faster than we were..." Dar says.

"Apparently, faster than Nabooru as well...." Darunia adds.

"So now we have to find the both of them." Impa shakes her head. "Come on, I'll take you to the Princess..." They teleport to the castle.



**Back with Nabooru and Oloken**



Half of the Stalfos are in pieces, while the other half seem to be running for their lives. A royally pissed off Gerudo is one thing to run from, but even that is nothing compared to a royally pissed off Sheikan. The whole door is wide open, but standing in the center of it is Trololf himself. He is actually smiling?! Both Sages get into battle stance. Trololf just stares at them.

"Well, I must stay that was impressive." He says. Neither side moves. A minute passes, but for Nabooru and Oloken, it feels like eternity. Then, Trololf starts laughing.

"You won't laugh when I shove my scimitar up your.." Nabooru threatens.

"Oh, don't worry, soon you will be with me!" He throws out an energy ball and hits Nabooru right in the heart.

"Oloken.....get out of here.....find Princess Zelda." Nabooru says. Oloken hesitates. "DO IT!" Nabooru practially yells at her. Oloken takes off quickly. Since Trololf is distracted taking care of Nabooru, she is able to make it out easily. But Nabooru isn't so lucky. After Oloken is gone, Trololf raises her in the air, then slamms her down hard. He then hovers a magic orb over her body. After a moment, it starts to glow an extrememly dark shade of black.
