"The gateway to the Shadow Realm is not too far, about two days walk," Damien stated as the party ate their breakfast. The party nodded in agreement. Link sat and pondered the feeling he got last night. Who or what was watching him that night. His eyes caught Soara's. He still had images of her dancing in his mind. He could not help but smile.
"What do you mean walk?" Anthony whined, "We have horses we can ride them," Anthony picked at his food with disgust. "And who made such slop," The party was getting really annoyed with his constant babble.
"We need the horses at full strength to pass through the gateway," Damien said calmly, but stern. Anthony just squirmed in his seat. Anthony hated being near an elf. He was fond o fond fairy, but he did not want Link to let on. Link was not the only eyes peering at the naked beauty.
"We shouldn't wait any long," Calvin stated, "The sooner we
get there the sooner we can go home". Link looked at his friend. Calvin's eyes
were tired and weary. He missed his wife dearly. Often Link heard him pray for
a safe return. Link also heard that his wife was with child. Link had not once
set eyes or even met Calvin's wife. The only secret Calvin had ever kept from
everyone.
The party packed their thing
onto their horse. Anthony refused to get off his horse. He called out many
words of profanity as Damien tried to make him realize the problems he has
caused. Finally Calvin and Link were fed up with the monstrous temper tantrum. The
both picked up the little body and plopped him on the floor. They took the saddle
of the horse and put it on Link's horse. They knew Link's horse was strong
enough to carry a lot of weight. They tired its rains to Link's horse and
walked off. Anthony trotted after them. He huffed most of the time, and begged
for a rest.
"We have only gone about a mile," Calvin roughed. Anthony whined more and more. The noise was getting to be like dark shills of the Shadow Demon. Most of the time his words were nothing, but babble about how his home life was, and how he never had to do any hard labor; Link still wondered how Zelda put up with him. It was revolting to hear someone complain as much as he did. Many miles had past and the on going whine was still at full power. Soara started to tear up. Her ears were hurting her. The whine was ten times greater in her ears, and since they were only window to the outside world, she was left stumbling around the terrain. Damien was even having trouble guiding her and well as himself.
"That is it!" Soara cried. She clasped her hand together. A white light started to outline her body. A small purple glow formed in between her hands. "Inept Zin Engi Hol Stemtohan," Soara chanted over and over again. The moment her words stopped the purple glow was thrown in Anthony's direction. Anthony screamed loudly, but suddenly turned to silence. The party stared at the powerful magic. Soara collapsed to the ground. The loud noise too its toll on her. Damien walked over to her and helped her to rise. The party thought it was best to keep going. Soara demanded she kept walking. Her horse seemed to hold her up and guide her. Damien was also by her and seemed to be communicating to the horse. Link couldn't believe such a thing so she turned away so he did not have to whiteness Soara taking his heart.
The trees seemed to rustle with sweet songs of the wind again. The sun was warm as it rose higher into the sky. Birds were singing songs of joy and welcome as they passed their tree. The path was beginning to widen, and the only vision before them were the great purple mountains and wide open planes.
"Dragons are thick threw these parts," Damien whispered. The party cautiously walked across the open terrain. Their eyes held mostly on the sky. It was easy to see dragons over head. It was even easier to hear them on foot. What was hard for them to see was the mystic blue dragon that had planted its feet before them. The sky seemed to blend with its body. An illusion of greatness; the party dashed aside trying to dodge the great fiery attack. The first attempt was successful. The party scattered around a large rock to cover them all. They were relived not to hear the whines of Anthony as they planned their attack.
"Anthony is missing," Soara exclaimed. The party searched the large rock and sure enough he was not anywhere to be seen. The party looked over the terrain and found him. He was soon to become a meal for the great beast. Link turned away as he shot one of his own arrows at the great beast. There were not many dragons in the world and Link didn't want to be the reason they all left. The dragon screamed in pain as the arrow struck the great beast. Link looked up in shock. It was not normal for a dragon to be struck so easily. There is only one weak pint in their scales it was almost impossible for a person to hit it. Calvin drew his sword into its body. The beast screamed even more, and moved its body violently. A stench was soon protruding from the dragon's body. Link realized that it was severally ill. The Dragon was close to death before it even attacked his party. Link threw the last arrow at the beast's heart. The dragon fell to the ground and breath its last breath. The smell was strong. Link held his nose as he got closer to the blue dragon. Link also stumbled upon something even more beautiful then the dragon. The dragon was guarding its nest, and only a single egg was resting now motherless.
