~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Midnight had struck. It was now the 20th day of the month. All the people of Hyrule were up. Link was marking his arrows with his blade. If he killed someone, he had to know whom. Zelda were getting the men organised while the women and children were onlookers. Rauru was up at the Castle getting the refreshed King cleaned up. Fortunately the King had recovered from his mighty wound he was suffering. He was ready for some vengeance.

All of the Ancient Sages that were fighting were handed a well black smithed sword accompanied by a chrome steel sword with the Triforce painting on it. The last weapons were the finely made bows and arrows accompanied by a quiver of 50 arrows. If anyone were to die, it wouldn't be the Ancient Sages of Hyrule. Link had his usual arsenal. Longshot, special arrows, Megaton Hammer, sword and shield. He intended to use the whole lot, even if that meant destroying them.

The sun was ascending towards sunrise. It was time. The men said goodbye to their wives and children before marching into lines. The horsemen were at the back with the archers in front of them. The flagman was in the middle accompanied by the last post man. The Ancient Sages, Link and King Zelda were at the front. The women and children could sense the anxiousness in the air. This caused a wave of tears. Princess Zelda comforted them and led them to the Castle.

Suddenly the drawbridge descended and the brave people forwarded out, some to meet their doom, but others to meet their destiny.

The army stopped in front of the huge wall in the field. The wall could be a good tactical place. "Link, you go for Ganon. I'm going for the Gerudo's" King Zelda whispered to Link. Link feigned disappointment for the King but was bursting inside with triumph.

Link moved his eyes over to the distance, where he saw a black cloud along the ground. Later as the cloud got closer, he realized it was Ganon's army. The army kept marching until Ganon and The King were face to face. Ganon was in the mood for games. "Good morning sire, what brings you here?"

Too bad the King wasn't in the mood. The King struck Ganon in the face several times. When the frenzy finished, Ganon was on the floor, dripping blood. The Gerudo's rushed to help him. This was their chance. Link shot an arrow in the air to mark the start of the war. It didn't come down.

 "CHARGE!!!" yelled the King. There was an uproar of yelling as the army of Hyrule charged in on the Gerudo's. They immediately dropped Ganon. And went for the army. Impa and Nabooru jumped down from behind the wall, swords down. The swords came to an abrupt halt as they struck some Gerudo's. Ganon pushed up from the ground and started running. Link pursued, hot on his heel. Ganon suddenly spun around from his instep and struck Link in the face. Link flew back from the power of the punch and then got up. "That was a cheap shot Ganon," he said while unsheathing his sword. Ganon did the same.

Ganon and Link were circling each other. Who would move first? Ganon lost his patience and dived at Link, sword in front. Link dodged easily and battered mid- air Ganon with his shield. Ganon was sent acutely to the ground. "That was a good shot," Link remarked with a smirk. Ganon flew into a rage and started to swing his sword aimlessly at Link. Link blocked them all and slashed him across the leg. Ganon roared in agony and grew a Black Magic Ball. He hurled it at Link. Link put up his shield. The Ball discharged on impact of his shield. There was a moment of no movement by each other. This was the stare down.

Ganondorf flew up into the sky until Link was just a dot. He moved his attention from Link to the duelling Gerudo's. He whistled and everyone stopped. Link was playing Epona's song on his Ocarina. His horse galloped into view and subsided beside Link. Epona was obviously tired. Ganondorf dropped a scroll down to Tanoora, the new Gerudo female leader. She snatched it out of the air and read the inscribed words.

" King of Thieves, summon our might;

Turn our souls to wolves tonight.

Kill the rebels from the back;

Pick the place for the attack."

Suddenly, the Gerudo's began to change. Their outfits merged from luscious purple to jet-black. They grew bigger and muscles throbbed from them. Ganondorf was going through the same metamorphosis. A stream of dark light gathered the clouds together to block out the light. Darunia summoned the fire spirit to lighten up the place. A mysterious red glow filled the air, giving vision to the Hylians. Suddenly the transformation stopped. There was a moment of silence. It was broken by Ganondorf's booming words. "Now you can't tell the difference between light and day. This war will sustain until the last person from either army is dead." Ganondorf looked down in triumph and smirked. He also jeered at the Hylian army quoting that their techniques were pitiful.

However, Link was pulling a light arrow from his quiver. He strung it and shot the arrow into the clouds. When the arrow hit the clouds, they parted. Light was returning to Hyrule. The smile dropped from Ganondorf's face. His next words were in utter embarrassment as the Hylians laughed at him. Nonetheless, he boomed down the words "The light may have returned to your advantage, but the Gerudo's and myself have the spirit of the wolf thieves now." The laughter from the Hylians came to an abrupt halt.  Ganondorf's sense of triumph returned. "We are now stronger, faster and more agile than your army. As for every man we kill, we collect their soul to make our power increase." With that said, Ganondorf hurtled down to the ground, trying to crush the army. Just before he hit the ground, the bugle rang out through the fields. Ganondorf hadn't realized the time between his intense battle with Link and his charade he just made. Still Ganondorf couldn't break a rule of war and stopped suddenly. He started cursing and led the Gerudo's back to the fortress. The Hylians sighed with relief and marched home. Yet something told Link that he wasn't going to have the upper hand in the battle the next day.
