Chapter 4: In the end

Link turned around and saw that a rather huge hole was appearing in the ground. Just then a beast of enormous size leaped out of the hole and shook the ground. It growled and roared waving its huge muscular arms around. Link jumped back as Liea screamed in horror.

"What is it?!" Liea cried out in panic.

"I don't know!" Link yelled out. He tried to calm himself down and took a closer look at the beast. "It seems to be a cross between a Moblin and a Stalfos; I'm not quiet sure though. It's huge is all about I can say! I've never seen anything like it before!" Link looked up at the creature again and drew his sword and shield out unwilling to fight.

"Now look what you have to fight! You should have listened to me," Liea dug her heals into Epona's sides and rode off to a spot far from the battle. "You're so stubborn!" She finally screamed.

"Thanks a lot, Liea" Link yelled out shaking his hand at her. He rolled his eyes and started to psyche himself up.

Liea felt really bad about leaving Link there to fight the thing all by himself. She had no fighting powers or agility, so Liea's only safe bet was to just stand off to the side and out of the way. She jumped off of Epona's back and stood next to her. Liea started to pet Epona's mane and softly talk to her. "I hope Link will win! I know he will...I have great faith in him! What about you?" Epona whinnied and shuffled her hooves. Liea smiled and hugged the horse's neck.

"Oh Lord, please give the strength that Link needs to defeat to defeat this awful beast." Liea uttered a prayer under her breath to herself.

Suddenly the monster then swiped his gigantic claws, scratching Link in the face, and leapt forward. The battle has now begun.

After being side swiped, Link felt the warmth of oozing blood from the wound run down his face. He wiped off the blood and held up his sword in anger and defense of himself. The hit motivated him even more to defeat the creature. Link then threw his shield down onto the ground and ran towards the beast screaming with his life. After rushing towards the monster, Link slashed it in the side and jumped into the air immediately after doing so. He aimed to hit the fiend's head, but the beast took its staff and swung it at Link, making him miss. Link was slammed into the ground with such force that his own sword cut himself in the leg. The beast swung his staff intending to strike Link again, but Link rolled out the way barely getting whacked.

Link laid on the ground breathing hard and looking up at the fury in the beast's eyes. Link kept dodging the attacks and tried to imply some himself. It was a battle that was only getting worse.

Liea watched in anguish as her Hero was getting seriously wounded. She just couldn't bear to watch the combat anymore, so she turned around and stared at the perfect, clear blue sky. Both the agony of being useless and the battle were getting to her. Liea's feelings were building up and she let a solitary tear fall down her face.

Using the last of his strength, Link forced himself up off the ground and gazed at the menacing intruder with determination to kill. Sweat and blood drenched Link's worn out face and body. He knew he had no chance to win, but he would keep fighting for Hyrule and the one he loved until the end. Link lunged forward with little strength that he had to make one last hit at the enemy. The monster struck Link with little energy tossing the lifeless body close to the edge of the nearby cliff. It gradually walked over to the dreadfully beaten soldier and stood there. He finally kicked Link over the edge, sending him plummeting to the ground far below.

At the same moment the tragedy was happening, Liea turned around to see what was going on between Link and the monster. She stared at where Link used to lie and was confused. The information didn't seem to register right away. Then Liea realized Link was gone and screamed for her sanity.

"No! Link, come back!" Liea cried out jumping off Epona and running to the edge where Link was kicked off. She fell to her knees balling her eyes out while the life-destroying beast walked away victorious. "It's over! Hyrule is now finished! Zelda and I have no chance of surviving. Oh, Link, I can't believe you're actually gone." Liea sobbed now sitting on the grass holding her knees to her chest.

She sat there for what seemed like forever. Epona trotted over to Liea and nudged her to get up. She felt the horse's nose and grabbed onto the rein to get up. Liea took a deep breath and looked around. A mixture of Link's scarlet blood and the beast's emerald blood were splattered everywhere. She also saw where Link's body was on the ground, rolling around. The last thing Liea set her eyes on were the long grasses that were bloody and bent over obviously from Link's body. Her knees started to shake and become weak and soon fell down from exhaustion. Liea sat down again crying in the middle of nowhere.
