The Secret of the Sages
Disclaimer: I still don't own it.
Oloken runs as hard as she can. At the moment she is completely lost, but that doesn't even slow her down one bit. Her only hope to save the Sage who saved her is to get the others. She trips over a rock and ends up face first on the ground. She gets up quickly and looks around. She has been running for over 12 hours.
"I can't give up yet...I have to keep going....but which way..." she looks around again. Nothing is familiar. "A few centuries and the whole place changes." She mutters. Then she takes off again.
**In Hyrule Castle**
The group is trying to figure out how to go about rescuing their comrades. Link is actually smirking. Zelda notices it and frowns.
"All right, what's so funny?" she says.
"Sorry Zel, I just can't help thinking about what Nabooru would think if she knew about this." Zelda just shakes her head.
"Dar, any ideas on where he could be holding them?" Impa asks. Dar just shakes his head. Impa looks around at the others. They all have the same expression.
"We have to think of something....." Saria says.
"We will. But first..." Zelda is interrupted by a guard coming in the door.
"I'm sorry to bother you Princess...but this woman insists that she must see you." Zelda is puzzled.
"Who is it?" she asks. The guard just shrugs.
"She said that if you asked, to tell you 'Nabooru sent me here'." He replies. The entire room just sits there in shock for a moment. Zelda finally snaps out of it. "Send her in." she says. The guard leaves, and after a moment, a very worn and beat-up Oloken comes in. Almost everyone is on their feet. The guard re-appears behind her.
"We found her on the far side of Lon Lon Ranch. When we talked to her, all she said was that 'Nabooru told her to find Zelda'." The guard seems just as confused as the rest of the group. Dar gets up and helps Oloken to one of the chairs. She is completely exhausted. Zelda motions for the guard to leave. Impa and Sheik seems transfixed by what they see. Saria goes up to her.
"Are you all right?" she asks. Oloken is silent for a moment, then finally seems to focus.
"Zelda?" she asks. Impa looks at Zelda.
"We should let her rest Your Highness." She says. Zelda nods.
"I know, but if Nabooru sent her, then she knows where Nabooru is. We need that information." Zelda steps up in front of Oloken. "I am Zelda." Oloken looks at her.
"Proof." She says. Zelda just frowns.
"Anything in mind?" she asks.
"Nabooru said Princess Zelda holds the Triforce of Wisdom." Zelda nods, then shows Oloken her left hand. The Triforce mark on it is there, and the Wisdom Triforce is glowing stronger than the other two. Oloken looks a moment, then nods.
"Satisfied?" Zelda asks. Oloken nods. She knows that that particular mark cannot be faked.
"Yes. I'm sorry to seem distrusting, but I never laid eyes on any of the royal family before." She looks down.
"So where's Nabooru?" Link asks.
"Trololf has her." Oloken replies.
"You mean you let her have the Sage while you got free?!" Elene shouts.
"She told me to leave and find Princess Zelda. When I tried to stop and help her, she said that it was more important that I got here." Zelda frowns. This isn't good.
"Well, she can take care of herself, right?" Lylan asks. The current sages look at each other. None of them want to mention how Twinrova caught her before she awakened as a Sage.
"Sorry to break this up, but...."Reiyno looks over at them from his seat at the window. "Was that there before?" Everyone minus Oloken goes over to the window. A huge palace seems to be suspended in the sky. It is completely black. Storm clouds seem to be coming from it. All in all, a truly evil place. Everyone just stares a moment.
"Anyone want to bet that Trololf is holding Nabooru in there?" Link asks. No one speaks.
**Trololf's lair**
Nabooru is unconscious on the floor. The orb above her is a really evil black. Trololf just stands there watching. Slowly the orb starts to rise. After it is a few feet above where the cages were, it goes off to the side and lands on an altar. Trololf walks over to where Nabooru is lying.
"My dear Gerudo, you don't know how much you are going to help me." He smiles. "I know that you helped that Sheikah get away, but don't worry. You see, she was bait all along." He stands up straight. "Although....I was expecting to catch the Sheikan Sage......but catching you is such a bonus! Now I don't have to hunt you down!" He uses magic to lift Nabooru into the air and places her body in front of the altar.
"Master...." Trololf looks over at a Stalfos which has just come in the room. "Preparations for stage one are complete. Awaiting your orders." Trololf smiles again.
"Perfect. We are on schedule?"
"Yes Master."
"The set up the traps for phase two. I want everything ready by dawn." The Stalfos bows then leaves. Trololf turns his attention back to Nabooru.
"While I have your life energy, they can't touch you. If they can't get you, they don't have anywhere near enough power to harm me. Then I will conquer the world. Zelda will be my bride, but I can't let my noble blood be mixed with a Hylian." He says 'Hylian' like it is the worst of swear words. "You, however, will give me a beautiful child. A son..... And I will have my heir. Of course, since I have to marry Zelda for my claim to the throne....something will have to be done about that....." A really evil smile forms on his face. "But don't worry. It will be glorious." He checks his time piece, then heads out the door, leaving Nabooru and the orb in the hands of his guards.
"The time is finally coming.........."
