Part 20-Tale of two lives
I heard many gasps around me as I said that. The Goron King, as I suspected was surprised. He looked angry too. He straighted up to his full height. Then glared down at me with his coal black eyes staring almost striaght through me. I resisted the urge to gulp.
Everything had become very silent. All muttering stopped and everyone stared at us. I could feel Zelda looking at me intencly. Then the Goron King seemed to get ready to chew my ears off for talking back to him.
I prepared for a blow, or a loud yelling voice at me, but they didn't come. What happened next was much more shocking.. he laughed at me..
"Hahahahahaha! You are a brave Hyrulian that is for sure! No one has ever stood up to me like that before."
I felt my face falture. This was a surprise. I smiled up at him. He gave me a broad grin.
"I invite you and your friends into my throne room. Follow me."
I smiled and happily followed the King to the Throne room. Everyone followed me too. I guess, being brave was rewarded.
We travelled down a long dark hallway made of volcanic rock. You could see a distant light at the end. When we got there, The King sat down near a huge statue. He invited us to sit down in the chairs in there. I put Zelda near a chair and helped her in it. Then sat next to her.
"Now, we have to talk serious. I didn't want to discuss this in front of the rest of the village. I understand that Ganondorf is coming back. I can sence it."
"So, you know about the Evil King too." Matt said.
The King nodded. "Yes. All too well. I was taught since a youngin about the tales and legends of the people. The Hero of Time was one that I often heard. I am a direct desendent from the original King that was the the sage of Fire."
"So you do believe us." Zelda said.
"Yes I do. But, I do not understand that you could live well past your years." The King said.
"Well, I died.. a long time ago." The King's eyes widen. "No! I'm not a ghost or anything. I was re-born."
"I see." he put his hand to his chin in thought.
"Well, there's more to tell too." I begain quietly.
"Go on."
"Well, I don't know how to say this.. but.." I rubbed the back of my neck and looked down. "Ganondorf's free."
"WHAT?!?! How can that Be?!?!"
"We were in the forest temple, when he sucked up Saria, my friend into the dark portal. I chassed after her of cource. Then, we were at the gates of the sacred realm. Ganondorf and I fought. He cut me. My blood fell onto the gates. And they opened for him to be released." I said, still looking down.
"This.. is not good.. If he is free.. he will come here and try to kill my people again." The King said, rubbing his chin.
"That is why we have come here. To help you out in any way." Sheik said.
"I see. So, you all are here incase Ganondorf releases Volvagia again?" The King asked.
"Yes." I said.
"Well, we could use your help. Two days ago, there was an eruption from the volcano. There has never been one in over a hunderd years. Then, our caves started to fill with small demonic creatures. They were easy to take care of, but then they got bigger. Like they were feeding off of something... evil in the air.."
"We will go clean your caves of the creatures first. Then we will see what else has been effected." Sheik said.
"Thank you. You all are helping out my people, even though we just met. I hope there are more people out there like you." He said, looking at each of us. I hung my head.
'Yeah.. that's just what we need. more people like me the screw up the world.' I thought to myself.
If it hadn't been for me, Ganondorf wouldn't have gotten out this soon. Or maybe not at all. No. I can't think like that. I don't have time. Besides I promised Saria I wouldn't blame myself for this.
"Well, can we rest before we try to look through the caves?" I asked.
"Of course! We have bedding for guests. I'll show you to them." He got up and started to walk out of the throne room. I picked up Zelda then we all followed.
I didn't know about everyone else, but I was tired from climbing up that moutain and carring Zelda around.
She wasn't a pain or anything. She was in fact probably going to be able to help us out a whole lot. But, my arms were just plain sore.
The King showed up two rooms. One of the boy and one for the girls. I dropped Zelda off at the room with Nabby and Navi.
Then, us guys went into our own room. It was plain. The room was carved out of soild stone and the walls were a little bumping. They weren't nearly as smooth as the walls in the throne room. There were any paintings, but there was a raggety curtain over the window. The beds were made of stone but had feathers to soften then bedding.
I sat down on the first bed and laid back. I stared up at the ceiling.
"Are you really THAT tired Link?" Matt asked me.
"Yeah. I suddenly got the urge that I need some sleep. I don't know why. I'm not that tired really."
"Then why the need for a rest?" Sheik asked.
"I said I don't know. It's really strange, but I guess it will give the girls some time to rest too. You guys can look around the Village for awhile. I'm just going to rest abit."
"Ok. But, don't sleep for too long. I'll come in and wake you up in about an hour." Matt said.
"Ok. Thanks."
"No problem." They both walked out of the room.
My eyelids felt like heavy stones. I had to close them. I felt my muscles relax. I was soon, asleep.
***Dream****
Rain was pouring down hard and fast. The sky was almost as black as night. There was a glow, almost beneath me. Heat was rushing up into the sky. I felt rubble and stone chunks on my back.
I was laying down looking up at the sky. I sat up and looked around. The place around me was a fallin castle made of black marbel. The sky was peirced with lightening. I looked down at myself.
I was a total mess! My shirt was covered in blood. I could feel wounds everywhere on my body. Almost every place was covered in scartches or sliced open. I felt dried blood on my cheeks.
I could taste blood in my mouth. Blood was even dripping form my nose, showing that I had broke it.
My sight was fuzzy and dazed with a white fog. I looked around again. I could hear a beast breathing hard. Panting for breathe.
I looked behind me and saw the fallin Ganon! He was a mere five feet away from where I was. He was bloody and smelled of death. My sword was inbeded inbetween his eye. One of his eyes was peirced with an arrow. His tail was almost cut completely off. It laid lifeless to his side. His legs were strained and probably colasped underneath him.
His evil eye that was still open, glared at me. Pain, fear, Pride, hate and a mix of other things were in his eye. Things I couldn't understand.
His left arm was cut at the shoulder. The armor on his own skin was cut and an arrow was sticking out of his shoulder. Two arrow heads with broken sticks were in his back.
A long jagget cut was over his chest. If it wasn't for him bretahing, I wouldn't have guessed that he was alive.
I could smell something else. It was fire. I looked over and saw some lava shoot up and land on the ledge. It licked a peice of fabric from the fallin catle and started to light it on fire. It spread like wild fire across the area, the edges were all being caught on fire. There was no way out for me.
I had no escape this time..
I heard a low chuckle come from the beast that was Ganon. My eyes open wide in surprise.
He coughed up some blood to clear his vocal cords.
"I..may have..lost...but...so have.. you..now.. DIE!!!!!" he said to me.
"Sorry Ganon. I don't do requests." I pulled myself up. It was as if I couldn't control myself. Like this was more of a flashback then a dream.
I got up and walked over to the edge. There was a ledge that the sages made that was of pure light that only a good heart person could cross. I pulled out my sheild with my eight arm. My left one was hanging dead by my side. I put my sheil on the fire and smuthered it. There was a small path. I got through as quickly as possible. I got across the bridge and there I saw Zelda.
She was cring. Not because she was scared, but because she was so happy I was alive. She ran up to me and hugged me lightly. I smiled.
We both turned and saw Ganon. He somehow got up and was running. He ran over the fire and tried to step on the pure light bridge.
He started to fall. He grabbed onto the ledge that Zelda and I were standing. He was haning onto the side with one arm.
He swore. Then started to try to pull himself up. It made him slip even more.
I walked over to the ledge and looked over. He glared back up at me.
"For all you have done. And all you have killed. The innocent, the childern, the women and the good people of this world. I will not let you live on this plain anymore. You are here by punished to live in the sacred realm, of which you killed for. Goodbye. Ganondorf." I put my booted foot onto his hand.
He looked up at me. "You wouldn't dare kick me off... you.. are.. too.. kind!"
"Oh. I almost forgot." I reached down and grabbed my sword. "I believe this belongs to me."
I pulled out my sword with a jerk. Ganon screamed in pain and fell into the lava pit. I stared down at that spot.
I stepped back and turned to Zelda. She was looking at me with blank eyes. I suddenly felt tears fill up my eye sight. I dropped my sword and fell to the ground.
'It's over.. it's finally over!'
**End of the Dream***
I woke up suddenly and jumped out of bed. I felt beads of sweat fall from my face and down my chest.
'Had I REALLY been THAT cruel?' I searched myself for wounds or cuts. I only felt the slight bump on my nose I still had from the nut mido shot at me and my wound from the wolfos.
I sighed. That was not a dream, but a flash back.
I suddenly looked up as Sheik, Matt, Navi, Nabby and a couple Gorons rush into my room. I stared at them with a blank face.
"What's with all the yelling? We thought you were dieing!" Matt said.
.. so. It was worse then I thought. I was even so scared I yelled out in my sleep.
"It was another flashback that's all." I answered, sitting down on my bed. I could hear Zelda shouting at everyone for an answer, since she couldn't get out of bed. Nabby ran back into the room, probably to tell it everything was ok.
The Gorons left, but Sheik, Navi and Matt stayed.
"What Kind of flashback?" Sheik inquirred.
"My fight with Ganon."
"Ganon?" Sheik asked.
"Ganon is Ganondorf's true and powerful form. A gaint boar like demon with two huge blades, a skin of steal and the eyes of a dragon."
I could almost see them all shiver.
Navi flew up to my and rubbed my cheek with her small hand.
"It's ok Link. I was there too. YOu don't have to worry. We are all here for you this time."
'That's what I'm afraid of.'
