Link awoke, and already had his weapons in his hands. This place reminded him of somewhere. It was Hyrule, as were all the other places he had visited, but it looked much like where he had fought Ganon, and been banished into the technology age. This it was. He tried to get his bearings, and was in the woman's cottage again, but it seemed around an hour later, and the lady was no where to be seen.
He pulled on his tunic, and sheathed his blade. He then tied his boots, and left the cottage. He went on the outskirts of the town and looked down to the marketplace. Everyone was calm again. He approached the castle, which had gotten a major face-'drop'. It looked dark, and it had no bridge to get to it but three beams that seemed to hold it above the pit on which it used to rest, in short, it floated, held by three light beams. These beams were connected to three towers, that made the triangular wall around it complete. Atop each tower there was a glint of something glass. Link couldn't discern what it was, but he was okay with that.
Link followed the steep road that had once been blockaded by the two gates that barred the way to travelers. He stepped through the deserted area, and made his way to the castle. Link saw a bridge, spanning a water- less moat, but the end led only to a pit of earth where the castle once stood. From this vantage point, Link saw the three towers more clearly, surrounded by guards, and each with a letter engraved with gold onto the door. But, in truth, the first door he saw had two letters etched there. It said, "TR" which he took instantly to stand for the mutant witch Twinrova.
Link saw no way in, but then saw something on the ground. It was a ring, and on this ring there was the picture of a helmet. Link slipped the ring onto his finger and felt no different, but when he looked to where the ring sat, he was a guard, or at least dressed as one. He took into the line with limited grunts and groans. When all were busy paying attention to something that rustled in the bushes, which was a rock Link had thrown, he took to the door, and opened it with a creek. He closed it quickly, and hurried up the stairs. He took off the ring, and slipped it into his pocket, hoping it may come in handy later.
He ascended the steps quickly, pulling forth his shield and sword, and allowing the shield to cast a faint light. The golden half of the shield did this, and the darker one Link had not found a use for. He stepped into a chamber at the top of the stairs. It had no lock, and opened fairly easily. He saw why. The room was a maze of staircases, upside-down walkways, and waterfalls that flowed sideways.
Link walked up one of the staircases, although upside-down, he felt no change in gravity, and he was now pulled towards the stairs. Link jumped to the ground, landing on his feet, when he expected to hit his head. He held forth the Orb of Secrets, and chanted a newer verse. "Orb Of secrets, hear my plea! Show the truth now unto me!" The stairs disappeared, and so did the walkways, and no waterfalls were seen, then, all the stairs formed into one staircase, with a tiled walkway to it, and waterfalls that ran on wither side. He ascended warily.
He entered a room that had many statues in it, and several stair cases, and two beds with balconies near them, and against the wall on either side was a broom. He looked to the beds, and upon them were the hag sister, the two separate forms of Twinrova.
"Twinrova! I challenge you to a battle, one for control of the item floating atop this very tower!"
"And if we refuse?"
"What then child?"
"Then, I will take it, with no resistance."
"But you cannot reach it there, have a nice time trying."
Link was only slightly infuriated, then he held forth the Orb of Secrets, which the two hags instantly recognized.
"How did you get that?"
"Ganon holds the very same item."
"I hold it now!" Link said, and raised the orb, and it floated up into the air from his fingers. "Orb of Secrets, hear my plea! Show the truth now unto me!" And the Orb shone brightly, and there was one staircase that led up, and near the bottom of this staircase, there stood Twinrova, with a treasure chest under her arm.
Link shone the light from his shield and her, and startled she started up the staircase upon her broom. She had let the chest slip, and Link opened it now. Inside there was nothing, except a piece of paper. It held a note, which read, "Link, your beloved treasure is ours, and you will get it only when you defeat us! But be wary child, for you won't live to see the item if you aren't!"
Link sheathed his sword, places his shield upon his back, and the orb in it's pouch, and he began to advance up the stairs. He took each step carefully, as he did not know what may happen if he stepped on the incorrect step. Suddenly, Link's foot slipped, and he fell through a hole that had appeared in the ground, and he fell through the floor of the first floor as well, and was in a dungeon-like area of the tower.
"Link, solve these puzzles three, and a battle with me, if thou art free."
"Hello, and welcome to everyone's favorite game! 'Challenge, the, Poet!!!'" and each word of the title rang out an echo.
Link walked through the maze like area of the tower, and made it to the first puzzle. He knew this as there was a pit, with two bridges over it, and in this pit, there was nothing. And he heard a voice echo through the bowels of the maze, saying, "Link, if you choose the wrong bridge, you will fall, and not just a smidge, you shall fail all."
"And, so begins round one!"
Link used his sword to test the two bridges, and found one was made of stone, another of wood, but he saw no third. The stone bridge was to his left, and the wooden one to his right. Link took a leap of faith, straight into the middle, and he stood on a bridge, one of wood, and stone, and it was sturdy, and as he made it to the other side of the bridge, the others crumbled.
"And that ends the exciting round one! Yay! And the crowd goes wild!" And he made bowing movements, and then continued onward.
He walked through the cold, narrow hall, until he reached a wider one. "This looks mighty suspicious." He said in a Kentuckian accent.
He began walking along, and, when an arrow whizzed by his head, he stopped. And there stood a large boulder. This boulder was the most strange thing Link had seen, as it had arms, and it held a chisel and a hammer, and a bow, and arrows, and it had four arms to hold these with.
Link tried something now, and he used his sheathed sword as a cane, and he hunched himself over, and the orb of secrets made him look old. And he hobbled over to the boulder, and hit it with his sheath and said, "MOVE IT SONNY BOY!! YOU'RE BLOCKING THE ROAD, TUBBY!!!"
The boulder turned to face him, and it had two faces, one was red, and one was blue.
"Talk about a serious case of hot/cold syndrome."
"I am neither hot, nor cold. Nor am I ill. I am the second of the three tests. I will ask you a riddle, Riddle me this, and Riddle me that, what does a magician pull out of his hat?"
Link was annoyed, and raised his sword, and began taking chinks of the boulder-man.
"You'd make a decent sword sharpener." By now the guise was dropped.
"YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR INSOLENCE!"
The boulder charged at him, and he sidestepped, and this continued for several minutes, then Link felt mischievous. He stuck his foot out, instead of sidestepping completely, and the boulder-man was just another rock in the wall, in fact, he was several hundred rocks in the wall.
"And the second round draws to a close! YAY!!!!" He said thank you to the air, then walked into the next corridor.
***
"The boy has completed the courage and wisdom tests."
"Now comes the power test."
The two witches flew on their brooms to meet the boy kokiri.
***
He entered the next chamber, amazing there were no beastly guards. He heard the door slam behind him, and the bar slide in place. Twinrova, in her separated form came before him. "Welcome. We are the witches." "Koume." "Kotake."
"Enchanted I'm sure." Link laughed at his own comment, "Ha!!! Enchanted! Witches!!! HAHAHAHAHAA!!!!"
"Quiet, CHILD!" shouted both witches in unison.
"Let the battle begin." Link jeered.
"This is no battle child. This is a test. The test of Power." Koume stated.
"There were the tests of courage, at the bridges, and the test of wisdom, with the riddle-some boulder." Kotake completed.
"So, I get to test my power, by stomping you two hags into the ground?"
"Child, you haven't seen power like this before." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
