Rage Spell: LAUNCH! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~
Time Period: Alternate history: Medieval Hyrule Age: The Shattered Dreams: Battle with the hags! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~
Link stood in the center of the room, sword in hand, shield on his arm, and he felt the darkness crawl closer to him, and he heard the cackling of the witches he faced. He heard the sweeping of their cloaks against the ground, and heard the wind rustle at the end of their brooms. The darkness creeped ever forward, lowering Link's safe movements space.
"DIE!" echoed from the vaulted walls, and the witches lunged from the darkness, from opposite sides, and they were moving quickly enough that Link couldn't block, and he went sprawling. He was in the dark area now, but from here, it seemed light, and the area he had just been in seemed dark. He tried to lift his sword, but the arm with the shield went up, and he tried to run as the witches came from behind him, or was it in front? He tripped, falling on his face, and he tried to roll toward the darkness, but it went further away! The room, it seemed backwards! All but that one space where he had stood before.
He rolled away from the darkness, and it came closer, and he rolled into the dark, where everything was as before, except that the circle had gotten smaller, and he was now standing in about 4 square feet of tile. He looked around him, and he couldn't hear the witches, or was it the effect of the darkness again?
He held out the orb, and he tried to concentrate on casting a spell, but the words wouldn't come, and he found his throat seizing up, and he couldn't speak, he could barely move! He couldn't breathe, his throat wouldn't let him breathe! He jumped into the darkness again, finding all his movements reversed again, except speech, breathing and heartbeat. He could breath now, but now the darkness area did not get smaller, but larger, as if it would swallow him, hold him there, and choke him to death.
The witches came back around, attempting to hit Link back into the suffocating darkness with their spells. He lifted his shield now, and the orb spoke to him, in his mind, 'The light gives that which it is named for, and the dark absorbs that which the other is named for.'
Link knew what this meant even before the orb had finished speaking. He lifted the shield, tilted it to the darker side, and felt the impact of the spells, but there was no dent in the shield, and the spells had not ricocheted off the surface, and he looked over the edge of the shield, and there, in a dark light, were the spells, suspended in the air, and then the black surface of the shield seemed to spin, or invert, as it looked as if it had become molten, and the spells were absorbed into the surface. Then the shield's dark face resolidified, and the hags looked stunned.
The orb floated over Link, and it shone a bright light, and in his mind, Link heard a new voice, that of Nayru, oracle of Seasons, and she said, "Link! The powers of the Hags are in your shield! If you could turn that power against them, you could defeat them! Give the shields withheld energy to the orb! It will change the energy into a spell you can use to destroy Twinrova in her combined form!"
Link had no idea how he would get Twinrova to combine, but he had to do it! He committed himself to transferring the energy of their attack to the orb, and also letting some loose energy into the orb for a 'Sano' spell, which healed him. The Orb suddenly shone very brightly, and it didn't stop shining from quite some time, until Link felt his ears pop from the pressure, and the walls were gone, as was the dark spot in the center of the room, only the top of the room remained, the tip of the tower.
The tip of the tower had something that shone on it, and seemed to just hang there. The tip was held up by four steel poles, and the witches were now circling the tower, slowly, then faster, and faster. They went so fast that their images blurred, and when it all stopped, the sky was dark, and Twinrova hovered there in front of link's face, and he could see her holding something.
"You have no chance of getting this item, small one."
"Wanna bet?"
"Ha, you can't remove this from my grasp."
"You mean your talons? I can get it easily."
"Hm. I'll show you what these 'talons' can really do!"
She lifted her hands, and the item began floating, and it shone a dark green, and the tower began to shake, and suddenly, very few tiles were left to stand on.
"The Quake medallion!"
"It is not a medallion anymore. During the 'Breaking War' Ganon broke free and rose to power by stealing the orb of secrets and executed the oracle that held its powers. But she had broken free by the use of the orb, but Ganon still had the orb, and using it, he changed the world into Age of Shattered Dreams. During this change, many warriors tried to defeat Ganon, our king, by use of the Medallions of the Three, three warriors stepped forth and nearly destroyed our king, that was when he summoned Myself, Veran, and Onox here, and we fended them off until the king regained his strength. During the battle the Medallions of the Three were used so often, that their powers began to weaken. In the end, Ganon used his powers of corruption to chip away at their virtue, and he nearly destroyed them, but a pesky Oracle, aided by one of the Goddesses, the Goddess of Wisdom, stepped in and saved the remains of the medallions, they fled with the Medallions of the Three, and used the concentrated powers of magic, and the use of Alchemy to seal the medallions into these pendants, their powers were restored, and they were made so they could not fade. Ganon heard of their treachery and captured them, that was when the oracle of Ages died. The pendants were taken, and Ganon attempted to destroy them, but not even his power could do it, so he gave one of the Medallions of the Three to each of us for safekeeping."
"Nice story, but I'm falling asleep here, oh, and just a warning: Heads up!"
Link vaulted up by use of his sword, and a good starting jump. He raised his sword over his head, and hit the witches in the arm with his sword. Twinrova dropped the Quake Pendant, and Link jumped for it. The withces had it already, by use of their magic, though. Link jumped for it again, but Twinrova was wary of him now. She held out a long, slender wand, and blasted him with a magical force powerful enough to break a redwood in half. He went flying, and hit one of the walls with a crunch of the tiles against his back. He saw the red ball of magic coming at him again, and held his shield up quickly.
The shot deflected from the golden side, and she sent it volleying back. This is like my battle with Agahnim! He drew his sword quickly, and deflected the shot that way. It flew back at the hag, growing larger with every hit it took from either side. It came sailing at Link again, and he rolled out of the way. It struck a mirror behind him and flew back at the hags. Twinrova knocked it expertly at Link. He drew his shield, it bounced off that, then the mirror and then Twinrova bounced it back again. It hit the mirror, and by this time Link was behind Twinrova, he knocked it back to the mirror.
She simply moved to let it pass her and go straight to Link. This is what he was planning for. The more magic I add to it, the more control over the energy I get. He had the ball of energy about the size of a 5 foot beach ball. He then positioned his shield to send the orb at Twinrova. She laughed, and used her magic to move it. But it didn't move out of the way. Link had control of the orb, and it blasted Twinrova, sending her smashing into the wall. Link picked up the Quake Pendant which the hags had dropped when they had been blasted. He lifted it up, slowly. He examined it. It really was just shards and the final shrapnel of the Quake Medallion.
He held the Pendant over his head, and fed his magic into it. He felt a bubble of energy forming around himself, protecting him from the effects of the Medallion, and then the tower began to shake. The walls crumbled, then roof began caving in, and chunks of the ceiling fell like leaves in autumn. Twinrova was caught under a large pile of rocks, and this floor of the tower seemed like an arena that was hit by several small grenades.
Link started to leave until he heard a rumbling that didn't come from the Pendant. Twinrova was climbing from the pile of stones. The stones rose with Twinrova, and seemed to give her a granite armor. "Shit." was all Link could say to this new problem.
She began to circle the tower, firing magic at Link from every angle. All Link could do was run away from the blasts, and hope he didn't trip on some rock. He stopped after one of the blasts sent up a smoke. He hid in the smoke, then remembered what Nayru had given to him as advice. He pulled the orb out of its satchel, put his shield on his back, and sheathed his sword. He walked out of the smoke, then held up the orb. He was sure this special spell would be able to give him the advantage.
Twinrova had stolen the orb from him by the time he was trying to think of how to use the spell. She flew higher into the sky, and then taunted Link from up high. She began throwing magic at Link, trapping him on one edge of the tower. Link was angry now, not only did she have him trapped, she was poking fun at him! He felt his rage replenish his strength, magic, and then he felt the orb in his hand.
"How did you get that!"
'Will is what truly wins a battle.' And the orb was silent again, but it shone with something Link had never seen before. The red lines flowing within the orb then registered in Link's mind. Twinrova's energy, combined with his anger, was flowing inside the orb. He held the orb in both hands, and held it closer to his chest. He felt a warmth growing there, and then he felt his anger go into the orb. He moved his arms to his right side, and then held the orb as if he were a pitcher waiting to throw a baseball.
"RAGE SPELL! LAUNCH!" he moved both arms out at once, forcing the orb to move into the air, and it held an aura of destruction around it. It moved slowly at first, then picked up speed and flew toward the hag.
"You give the orb back after stealing it? You really are a fool!"
The orb then pierced the hag's body, making her body seem to fold in half. She shrieked in pain, and then she turned to a dust, which descended on the tower, teleporting Link to the bottom of it, and there, he saw the tower crumbling. Finally, the light from the tower that held up the castle faded, then disappeared altogether. The castle didn't move lower down, but it did seem to be a bit more penetrable now.
Link smiled as he thought of what he would do to Ganon once he got into that castle. He held out the Quake Pendant, and felt the air around him get warm. He entered a white out and was in another world again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~
