MonoChronos: I'm once again reconnected to the net! I thought I would have to use the library computers for awhile. I may have some bad news too. That would have to wait until the end of this chapter.
Now for the dedications for those who reviewed my last chapter!
This chapter is dedicated to: VegetaPrinceofDarkness (Really? It's strange how things work out! I know it's late, but happy b-day to you anyway!!), Shadow Girl64 (Heh..heh…yeah, that's true, shadow girl. I didn't even know that I left it as a cliffhanger! Well, things will sure to follow from where I left off. And as for your questions, I cannot reveal. They are very interesting questions though!), SilverCrystal Valkyrie (Thank you very much for all those nice things! I wish you luck on your sequel and I hope you get lots of reviews for it like your last one! I just love your fic, it's really hilarious!!), Iceprincess L.L (Actually, that does! That makes me feel honored. I'm glad you like it so far! I hope you would like it as much if you continue to read on!), Aria Zephyr (That's true, Aria. Though, that temple door will not open so they have no other choice but to move on at the end of the temple. Don't worry, there is another way out of that temple, they just need to get past the trials the block their path. Inferno: Indeed, I'm sure that Link and the others will be careful while they are inside that temple. They are fighters after all except for Navi. Nevertheless, she will do her part too. By the way, thanks for the warm welcome!), ahh…I see I have two more reviewers! Daergoth of the Black Flame (Welcome, DotBF! It's great to be appreciated!! That's what keeps a writer going! I'm glad you like my fic so far!), and LunaticChaos (Welcome, LunaticChaos! I'm glad you like it too! Climax? You mean the fight scene, right? This my be my first time to write a fight scene, I hope I do well? And later, there is more to come I have in mind. I can't wait until I get there once the temples are done!)
Now…*notices Zolaris and Inferno sitting on the floor, next to each other*…what you two doing here?
Inferno+Zolaris: We're bored!
So what else is new? You're always bored!!
Zolaris: Well, ever since Univise's defeat. There seems to be no action here…and not always.
Inferno: *nods in agreement* Yeah, and I never once get to use my fire magic on anyone!!
*sighs*…I see, well, there is nothing I can do about that. You might have to be patient until something does happen.
Inferno+Zolaris: Yeah…we…suppose…
Good. Do not worry, something always happens here! Something always does. And besides, we can always spare against our friends here too.
Inferno+Zolaris: *nods* Yeah!! That's true!
Inferno: Could I do the disclaimers, MonoChronos?
Zolaris: -coughlittlesuckupcough-
Hmm…I don't see why not! Go right ahead, little one. Do you have a problem Zolaris?
Zolaris: No sir…
Yeah, I thought so…Inferno, as you may. Oh! Before I forget, our friend Shadow girl says "Hi" and so does Kohan and Aria.
Inferno: Our friend and master, MonoChronos, does not own Zelda. He has nothing to do with Nintendo. He is not part of anything from the company. He only owns this fic and the ideas he adds to it. Nothing more! So please do not sue him, because, Zelda is NOT his creation!…Oh, really? Hey, Shadow girl, Kohan, and Aria! Thanks, it's nice to be welcomed! Hey, wait a minute…did Shadow Girl just call me a "she"?!?
Very good, not bad at all. It needs alittle more work, but you catch the idea right away! You will do fine here with us! And now, you may finish the last part. We must end it here, we are taking too much chapter time already! And yes, it most certainly is. Relax, Inferno, it was an honest mistake! She simply didn't know what gender you were…
Inferno: Yeah, maybe…but I don't like being mistaken for a girl!! Since she is a friend of yours, MonoChronos, I will let it slide. Anyways, here's chapter seventeen! Enjoy!
Chapter Seventeen: The Artifact Key(s)
"It looks like we are trapped inside the temple!!" Navi panicked, "There's no way out!!!"
Link looked up at Navi who is a few feet away from him. "Navi! Calm down. We've been in tighter predicaments before." Link tried to calm her, "This one should not be any different."
"I know that! But the temples we used to go back at Hyrule had no stone door that shut on us as soon as we entered them!" She complains, "Except for those that block our way inside." She added.
Link was in thought about that. "Yes, I suppose. Do not worry, Navi. We'll find another way out of here. And if I'm right, just like the ones at Hyrule, at the end of this temple is where we will find our way out!" He indemnified confidently. "Isn't that right, Reno?" He then said, looking around for him, but Reno was not near by. "Reno?"
"I'm over here!" Reno shouted from across the room. He was near some kind of wall with markings on it. "I think you might want to take a look at this."
Link did want he wanted and came to him, followed by Navi. "What is it, Reno?" Link asked.
"This…" Reno showed to him what was written on that wall, not giving much of an explanation. Link was puzzled at that very moment. He didn't know why Reno brought him there. Nevertheless, he turns and examines the wall. When he did, he couldn't believe what he was seeing! It looked like the same writings on the walls as it did when he was in the Spirit Temple, but somehow, slightly different.
"Is this what I think it is?!?" Link said astonished.
"Yes Link, I believe it looks like…Ancient Hyrulian Glyphics!!" Navi gasps.
"Can you make it out?" He asked.
"Yeah…" She answered and then begins to translate, "It says, Hero who seeks the Great Power of Light sealed within this temple must accomplish the dangers ahead that protect it. Then you must prove yourself to the God of the Sun that you worthy enough for his power."
"Hmm…perhaps we should get started then. It won't do us much good just standing around here." Link said.
"Right!" Reno and Navi agreed. "The sooner we get this done, the sooner we can get out of here and take the orb to the Great Temple to see Sirus again." Reno stated.
"Yeah, but how??" Navi asked, looking around the room. There was no other door then the one they entered. Just four walls and a strange structure far back of the temple.
There was a short silence, then Reno spoke as he glaces at the structure, "…Do you think that structure there has to do with anything?"
"Well, I would think so…" Link replied, "It did before with the one outside. Lets go check it out." And they did just that, they all walked up to the structure and examined it. This structure wasn't just some structure. It was a piece of technology, maybe the same technology from or as the MomoAdachi Lightship.
This device was large in size, big enough for three people to stand onto at once. On the platform was a Sun Crest and the Triforce markings. On either side of this thing were two tall pillars about waist high, with one hollow indention in each. Dissimilar to the other key indentions, these indentions were not the same and it didn't show any kind of picture for it to identify.
Link then got another telepathic message from Sirus, this time everyone can hear him. "Link, Reno, and Navi. That thing that you are standing near now is called a transporter. This device will take you into the inter-sactrum of the Sun Temple. As you can see on either side of the transporter are two key indentions. The one on the right will take you into the temple and the one on the left will instantly take back here, at the Great Temple."
"That's convenient." Link said, "…but what about our horses?"
"Not to worry, they are already taken care of. I've taking the liberty of transporting them here at my temple. I will be sure they are well taken care of until you all return."
"Thanks Sirus, so how do we get in? We don't have the key for it!"
"That is the reason why I contacted you, because before you all left, I've forgotten to give you the key for it. I apologize for that. Here…"
A bright ball of light suddenly appears overhead and when that light subsided after a few seconds, an object emerged from the light and fell onto Link's hands. The object was obviously a key; it was a small pendent with a star and moon crest upon it. It was round and silver with small gems etched into it. It was a very beautifully decorated pendent. As if only royalty can wear.
"Now insert that key into the right indention and the transporter will be activated. You will find the other key at the end of the temple, the same location where both the orb and the temple guardian awaits. Be advised, this guardian is not to be taken likely, so please use extreme caution as you fight it. Good luck, to all of you!" Sirus said respectfully, then he cut off the telepathic link between them.
Once the connection between them was terminated. Link did what he was told; he inserted the object into the indention securely. When he did so, the transporter was activated with a quiet humming sound.
Link turned to his friend and ask, "So is everyone ready?"
"We are!" They replied.
"Alright, lets go!" Link said.
They all stepped onto the teleporter and Navi flew to sit down on Link's shoulder so that she can be teleported as well. With a beam of light energizing from the transporter, they all disappeared in fragments.
MonoChronos: That ends chapter seventeen. Sorry for the long wait, but things have been havoc for me the last couple of days with our moving and everything (Please read my bio for more details). I know that this chapter may seem short and that I was going to write a complete chapter of the temple. I think I have of a temple guardian ready to use. Unfortunately, I'm still brainstorming ideas for the traps and some puzzles for it. If anyone has any ideas? Please send them as an email so they could remain secret and then on the next chapter, I will reveal them. Before that, in the meantime, I will then decide which one I will use for my fic. Then I will announce that person or people for their great help on that next chapter! Remember, I could only choose six traps or puzzles (and even a mixture of both somehow) for these rooms. Thank you all in advance (I will try to update as soon as I can depending on the circumstances)! In case I don't get any ideas, then it might have to think of some for my own and that may take longer. See ya all next time!
