The Secret of the Sages



Disclaimer: Same as always.





**With the Sages**



The castle is finally within reach. Link rushes headlong toward it, until Dar pulls him back. If Link had gone another step, he would have been extra crispy. A river of lava is between them and the castle. Even the Gorons won't dare to try crossing it. From out of no where, they can hear laughing.

"I congratulate you all." Trololf says. "But you cannot reach my keep until I say so." The maniacal laughter fades out. And everyone is left royally pissed.



**Nabooru.....**



"Just a little more...."Nabooru groans as she strains to pull free. She is almost there.

"Good luck!" Link calls to her. Then she feels a familiar sensation. Gravity. She opens her eyes. And stands up in her own body. She takes a moment to steady herself. Still in Trololf's castle. Still in danger. But now, she is free. She heads off to find the former King. But in the back of her mind, she wonders what would become of Link....



**With old Link**



"She made it." He says. He looks around. Back to his nightmare. He looks down. "I....I can help." Then he starts to break through the barrier himself. Only to emerge in Trololf's dungeon. "Damn. He planned for this." Before he can start searching for a way out, Nabooru comes through like a blur. She stops and doubles back.

"Link? From the Dark Realm?" she asks. Link nods. Nabooru takes a scimitar **I'll put all the plot holes in I want ** and slices the lock on the door. When Link is free, they both head on out.......and right into a group of Stalfos.



**Haunted Wasteland**



"Almost........there......" the lone Gerudo is within sight of the Spirit Temple. There are always Gerudo guards there. The most powerful fighters and mages are stationed in the Temple itself. She looks back, and immediately pours on the gas. The King Dodongo is right behind her. She rushes up the steps, only to find the temple sealed shut.

"Please! Open up! Our King is in Danger!" She looks back. The dodongo is coming closer. The doors open up behind her and she is pulled inside, the child King still in her arms. But when she looks up, she comes close to passing out. Holding on to her are two Iron Knuckles. All around are unconscious Gerudos. The Temple has been captured.
