Chapter Fifteen
Zelda was knocked unconscious while Link was looking for her. Slowly she opened her eyes to a dark corridor that was so narrow that she only had enough room to move. Getting up, Zelda wiped the dust from her self and looked around. Thinking of the only thing to do, she walked through the corridor. Coming to a door, she opened it quietly. Inside, it looked like a dungeon. The strangest thing of it however, was a mechanical device with tubes wrapped inside of it.
"Princess Zelda," said a familiar voice. Out from the shadows stepped Sheik. Zelda smiled.
"Did you give Link the message?" she asked.
"Yes," replied Sheik.
"Alright then," said Zelda, "In you go". The Triforce Necklace raised and glowed. With a white flash, Sheik was gone. After we get out of here, I will tell Link that I am Sheik thought Zelda.
Just then, from behind, the princess was knocked out.
Link finally came to the final door in the corridor. Panting from the long and hard run, he turned the handle to the final room. He gaped at the sight before him. In a chained tomb hanging on a wall, wrapped in the chains, was Zelda. Her limp body only being held up by the chains. Running to his princess, Link placed his hands on her face – her skin was cold to the touch. "Zelda," he whispered. "Zelda!" again he cried out in frustration and sorrow.
"It doesn't matter how loud you cry, she won't be able to hear you," said a cold voice. From behind the machine was Ozorne. Link narrowed his eyes and launched himself at Ozorne.
"What did you do to her!?" the young warrior shouted.
"First of all get off of me," said Ozorne pushing Link away from him. "Secondly, Zelda is not dead only in a deep trance. Finally, get that necklace off of her neck."
That made Link angrier. "I will never listen to you and I will make you release her if it's the last thing I do!" he cried, drawing his sword and charging. Ozorne's magic sword appeared and the both attacked each other.
The battle continued with each hit and block shedding more blood. Finally they stopped but not because they were done fighting, they stopped because of the light glowing from the pendant on Zelda's neck. When the glow finally faded, the princess slowly raised her head.
"Link," she whispered.
"Zelda!" Link cried. Running toward her, he dropped his sword and flung his arms around her neck. "I'm going to get you out of here," Link whispered in her ear.
Now she was fully alert and smiled, but it faded when she saw Ozorne charging. "Link! Look out!" she cried. He had just enough time to get out of the way before Ozorne struck, but it hit the chained tomb that Zelda was in, making her cry out in pain as a wave of electricity shocked her.
"Zelda!" Link cried out again. Rolling to grab his sword. The warrior and the sorcerer fought.
When Link finally lay on the floor with scratches of blood all over him, Zelda lay in the chains helplessly only wishing she could help. Ozorne towered over the fallen warrior with the blade of his sword pointing directly at Link's throat.
"Any last words?" asked Ozorne with an evil smile.
"Zelda," he began, looking at his love, "I have only one thing to ask of you". Zelda had tears forming in her eyes that were now streaming down her cheeks. "My question to you is this," said Link. "Will you marry me?" Zelda was wide eyed and tear soaked.
"Link," she whispered.
"Well now that that's over," said Ozorne getting ready for the final blow.
"Link!!!!!" Zelda cried with tears as the Triforce around her neck glowed so brightly and powerfully that it broke her free from the machine. Ozorne was wide-eyed with shock for in front of him stood the most beautiful and powerful thing he had ever seen.
From the center of the Triforce came ribbons of white light that wrapped them selves around Zelda and transformed her into a very powerful being. Her skin was a very light cream and she had snow white hair. Her dress was of white silk that hugged her shoulders and the end of her sleeve looped around her middle finger. A slit up the middle showed her bare feet and a shining anklet. In her right hand she held a staff that looked like a dream catcher with beads and charms on the netting and a long white pole with intricate designs carved into it.
Ozorne dropped his sword. "So this is the true power of the Triforce," he said silently – then out of nowhere, he smiled. "Get her and harness her power!" Ozorne cried pointing a finger at Zelda. Instantly, the chains that had once held her, charged at her wrapping them selves around her in a dome.
"Zelda!" Link cried in despair. Suddenly, light glowed from in the chains and they shattered, revealing Zelda to be perfectly unharmed.
Ozorne now seemed to be frightened as he gaped at the sight. Zelda stepped toward him and said in a distant voice "Link. Please hand me your sword so I can finally defeat this piece of filth."
Link nodded and handed her his sword. In anger, Ozorne grabbed his sword and charged only to be repelled by the white sphere protecting Zelda. Again he charged but failed. Then he blasted a black ball of energy and broke the shield but didn't harm her at all. Running toward Ozorne and screaming in anger, Zelda attacked and stabbed him in the heart. Black blood dripping from his mouth, Ozorne stepped back and screamed in rage and pain, "I will kill you some day princess of Hyrule!" With that, he disappeared.
Dropping Link's sword, her new form disappeared, leaving the ribbons of white light hanging loosely around her. Link got up and ran toward Zelda as he saw her fall. Kneeling down on the floor, he cradled her in his arms tears streaming down his face. "Zelda," he stammered.
"Link," she said weakly. "Zelda this is all my fault," he said turning his head away. She placed a loving hand on his face and made him face her.
"This isn't at all your fault," she said with tears in her eyes. She leaned up and kissed him lightly. "Before I go, I want to tell you something," she whispered.
"What do you mean 'Before I go' ?" he asked but silenced when Zelda placed her finger to his lips. She smiled weakly.
"My answer to you before I go is this – yes," she said tearfully. Link went wide-eyed. She kissed him again lightly but with tender and love, then disappeared from Link's arms. Zelda, princess of Hyrule and Link's love, was dead.
