Chapter 10: Away with you

Liea turned around and saw Ganondorf's blade coming for her. She screamed and rolled out of the sword's path. Ganondorf swung so hard that his sword got stuck in the marble floor next to Liea. She fumbled around scared trying to get away from the massive beast. There was no way for her to move away. Liea got into a crouching position trying to make this all go away. What she didn't know was that her sword was sticking up.

Ganondorf laughed evilly and went to bend over to pick up Liea. He got near to Liea's body and her sword stabbed Ganondorf in the stomach making him fall to the ground. He landed almost on top of Liea cracking the floor below him. Liea looked up to see what happened and saw a stream of blood from Ganondorf coming towards her. Shrieking, she got up and ran over to Link's side and handed him his sword back. Liea clutched Link's arm and held it close to her.

"Did I kill him?" Liea said anxiously hoping that she did.

"No, not yet, but almost. He's still breathing though. Nice move by the way. Where'd you learn to do all that? I never knew you had it in you." Link responded bewildered by Liea's ability to defeat Ganondorf.

"I have no clue, I didn't even try, but does this give you an idea?" Liea held up her fist with the Triforce on it.

"Whoa! So that's what you have! The Triforce of Spirit! I should have known!"

"Triforce of Spirit? What's that?"

Before Link could answer Liea's question they heard metal breaking and slight footsteps. They both looked at each other and then quickly walked to where the sound was coming from. To their surprise it was Princess Zelda. She approached Link and Liea and heaved a huge sigh of relief. Link gave a weak smile. Liea was still lost and confused.

"Since Ganondorf has been slain I am free from my captivity and can finally put this beast of burden to rest." Zelda informed.

"But Link said he was still breathing." Liea asked.

"He is, barely, he's practically dead." Zelda responded.

"Ok, enough with the chit-chat. Let's get this skunk outta here!" Link said pissed off.

"Calm down my dear," Zelda ordered to Link. "Now what we have to do is put all of our powers together and hit him with the magic energy that it produces. Ready?" Zelda looked at Liea and Link.

"Yep. Let's do it!" Liea said joyfully.

The three walked over to Ganondorf's dying body. Each one stood somewhere around him getting their powers ready for action.

"Good. Ok Zelda, we're ready over here!" Link said.

"Same here." Replied Liea

"That's great! Ok, here I go." Zelda said using her power, the Triforce of Wisdom, to hold Ganondorf down.

Link held out his sword and pointed it toward Ganondorf and began to charge up his power. Liea placed her hands on Link's and concentrated her powers into the sword also. The magic broke out and pierced right into the dark heart of Ganondorf. He let out a loud scream and nearly passed out. The magic stopped and everything went quiet.

Link took a deep breath and walked over to the avenged man. He hit Ganondorf three times then struck him right in the head for the forth time, killing him. Zelda summoned the Sages and opened up a hole in the floor, which Ganondorf started to hover down into. The bright light from the hole blinded Link and Liea temporarily. Once Liea could see again she couldn't believe what was happening.

"Curse........curse all of you! I'll come back for my revenge. Just you wait and see!" Ganondorf thundered with the last of his energy just before the hole closed sealing him forever in the Evil Realm.

"Pitiful man. He was foolish to doubt the great powers of the Triforce. It was just too much for him to handle." Zelda stated after the hole closed.

Immediately after Zelda's words, the evil that engulfed the castle now lifted making the castle beautiful and magnificent like before. Link gazed over at Liea and she was smiling back at him. Link hugged Liea and spun her around a couple times making her giggle in joy. Link afterward ran over to Zelda and picked her up and spun her around also. The three looked around and saw the beautiful palace restored once more to its original beauty.

Liea felt relieved and leaned against the wall.

"Whew........am I glad that's over!" She turned around and looked out the castle window.
