I would bet a thousand times that you would never have suspected that I wait for you outside the menacing borders of the shadow temple. Perched precariously above the doors to that forsaken place, I waited, praying to whatever deity existed that you would return safely. Oh Roostag, please stay safe.
For hours I awaited your return, wondering whether you had fallen victim to the monstrosities that inhabited that evil place. They were brutal creatures, and they would not think twice to slaughter an innocent soul such as yours.
These thoughts welled up in my head plaguing me with miserable thoughts of your gruesome demise for what seemed an eternity. Finally, I could bear them no longer! What if you were stuck somewhere, on the verge of death, pleading for help? I would brave the hazards myself before letting such a thing befall you Roostag!
Rushing into the darkened depths of the temple, I suddenly came to a halt. A menacing face was etched into a wall which now blocked my way. Ancient glyphs on the walls said, "Only those who possess the knowledge to see the truth may enter."
Harsh feelings of self regret pained my heart, as I struck my forehead with the palm of my hand. Of course, without the lens of truth I could never hope to navigate my way through this place. Impa had told me about this long ago, but for some reason this tidbit of knowledge had slipped my mind.
Feeling rather sheepish, and almost as if I were letting you down, I slowly exited the cavern, returning to gaze at the gray tombstones which adorned the cemetery outside. I could feel the bitter chill of a foreboding thunderstorm approaching. The haunting melody of the shadow temple swirled around me, and drums from deep within sounded from the depths of the temple where I knew you were now valiantly battling. This could mean only one thing; you had reached the final barrier of the shadow temple: Bongo-bongo.
A light smile crept to my lips, hidden behind the scarf. You made it Roostag! You saw through the maze of corridors, battled through the ghost ship, and remembered to set fire to the bombs on the other side of the chasm! I knew you would never give up, I should never have had any worries. With this confident thought in my mind, I left the cemetery, heading for the place where I knew that I would see you next.
As I exited the cemetery gates, I did not see you stride out of the shadow temple with a triumphant smile, searching for the one who would lead you through the next part of your legendary journey.
