Ch 6
Dark Link yells at Ganondorf, "You HAD to have Link there? I practically killed myself saving your ass!" "I- I'm sorry. You know it was your fault that you had to HAVE Shana here also! Don't tell me what to do!" Ganondorf sits on his bed with his head in his hands as he yells at Dark Link. Ashley is peacefully resting in the bed, under the covers. She moves to her side and scratches her head. Ganondorf looks back at her and asks Dark Link, "Have you made arrangements?" "About what?" Dark Link asks, clueless. Ganondorf whispers something into Dark Link's ear. Dark Link smiles, "I'll do that right away. But it will take some time though." "Yes, do as much as you can," he looks at Ashley. "As MUCH time as you need possible. I can wait." "Right." Dark Link leaves along with Ganondorf talking very happily. Ashley opens her eyes, "What arrangement? What the hell are they talking about? Geez!" Suddenly the door opens again and Ashley pulls the covers back over to her face and pretends to sleep. "Shana? Shana! Wake up! We hafta get out of here! Now!" a voice yelled. Ashley sits straight up in the bed, "Why?" Roy, Zelda, and Shasharala scream at the same time, "Link's dead!" As all three of them said those two words, Ashley screamed horrifically, possibly letting Ganondorf or Dark Link hearing, and jumped out of the bed and hugs Roy with streams of tears falling down her rosy cheeks. Roy holds her tighter as two tears fall down his face also. Zelda asks with a quivered voice, "I think Ganondorf's coming." Roy looks up and to the door, "Let's get outta here!" Ashley snaps her fingers thinking the place to go, Dragon's Lair. And they all vanish within a blink of an eye.
They all appear in a dragon's den and look around in amazement. There are huge boulders surrounding them with lanterns all over the cave. Roy's mouth drops. Ashley walks on and tries to find what she's looking for.
Roy catches up, "Whoa, whoa, there, Shana. We can't go in there. It's... spooky." "I know," she says with confidence. Roy pulls her back, "Let's get outta here! There might be some kind of dragon here!" Ashley pulls away from his grasp, "I know!" He looks at her with his "stupid face" expression. Ashley runs off alone into the dark. Her light senses pick up some traces of light so she can see. Her Night Vision spots a sleeping dragon. She creeps up to it and pokes it, "Takil, Takil, wake up. We need your help." The dragon wakes up with a loud yawn. Ashley covers her ears. Takil looks down at Ashley and puts his claw around her shoulder, "What is it, my dear? I am trying to sleep, of course." Ashley's eyes tear up and she runs into Takil's brown scales and cries, "Link's dead, Takil!" Takil gasps, "Dead?" "I tried to save him but I was practically killed by Dark Link!" "You tried your best." "NO! No I didn't. He needed help, and I wasn't there to save him!" "Do not worry, Shana. He's in the stars... in you." Ashley looks up at Takil's kind face, "How?" Takil gets up slowly and walks her out to the entrance of the cave. Roy, Shasharala, and Zelda gasp and bow to the dragon. He lowers his head. "Shana, look around you." She looks around and sees nothing, "What? I don't see anything." "Yes you do. Look above the horizon and across the sea," Takil points towards the sea with the sun setting in the horizon. The clouds are painted with pinks, reds, and blues. Stars start to glitter in the sky. "Wow. How did you do that?" She asks "It's not me, Shana. It's Link. He's alive; he's just fixing the world around the evil realm, "the dragon points to the far, and small castle drawbridge. Ashley nods, "So Link's still alive?" "Yes. Now, you should go home. Link will be there for you some day. All right?" "I don't think so. I'm not leaving this world until I have Link in my arms." "Then if you mustn't go, you should see the Starlights." Ashley looks up at Takil, "What are the Starlights?" "They are the three ladies of the Water Temple. They will show you some new magic so you can use it to find lost things." Ashley gets excited, "Oooh! More magic? Alright!!" She jumps up in the air with one fist above her head.
Dark Link yells at Ganondorf, "You HAD to have Link there? I practically killed myself saving your ass!" "I- I'm sorry. You know it was your fault that you had to HAVE Shana here also!
