Link appeared on a large circular platform. The platform was hovering in
mid-air. It was hovering peacefully in space. There were no other objects
in site except for the stars that covered the sky. Link knew he was
dreaming at his plan was working. He looked down to see that he was dressed
all in white. Link drew his shield and his sword. That's when he noticed
someone on the opposite side of the platform from him. It was Link. Link
stood staring at himself. The only visible difference was that he was
wearing a black tunic, which was why Link hadn't seen him. It wasn't as
much of a shock as you would think. Link had gone on many, many, quest and
he had dealt with clones before. Besides, he knew that Savroth did not look
just like him but was simply using this disguise so as to not give away his
identity.
Link: I knew it.
Savroth: yes, you're a very bright guy. I knew you'd figure it out quickly. I'm attacking you and your friends by attacking there courage and will to go on. By dwelling on their darkest hours.
Link: who are you? And where do you have Jamie?
Savroth: what makes you think a kidnapped her?
Link: you're the perfect suspect. You passed through town at the right time frame that it would have taken to steal her; you killed several Gorons with barely any movement, and now your trying to deter me by giving us nightmares about Ganondorf. Sounds like a reasonable suspect to me.
Savroth: alas, aside from these clues you have no proof. I may be the mastermind behind this, the puppet master, so to speak. But you don't know who did the deed.
Link: tricks and illusions can't deter me!
Savroth: that is all to true, as I found when I attacked you in your sleep. You have no moments in your past that trouble you, nothing for me to dwell on. Your friends do however. So until I find a way to stop you I can feed on them. With you I was limited to showing off my powers. But since you've been on so many quests my powers don't seem as impressive either so I stopped trying to attack you altogether. Then again if I didn't try to slow you down it doesn't matter. My plan is perfect and not even you can stop me this time.
Link: what do you want?
Savroth: to show the world my might. By the time im done Hyrule will be my own empire. And I will use it to become the world's most dominant force.
Link: no your not, because im ending this now!
Link raised his sword and prepared to charge the sorcerer.
Savroth: rise and shine.
Link woke up. He looked around and found himself back in the clearing. He let out a cry of frustration. It was early morning. The sun was just coming up. He got back up on his feet. He was now more determined then ever to catch up to this guy and face him face to face. He pounded his fist into his hands as he imagined several exotic ways of defeating him and saving Jamie.
Link: wake up!
Link yelled at his comrades and they woke up instantly.
Treom: what's the matter! Links in trouble!
They all grabbed their weapons and sprang to their feet.
Link: peace. Im fine. I just wanted to get a early head start.
Maku: what's gotten into you?
Drom: was there any trouble last night?
Link: no, no trouble but I did learn some things. Most importantly is that we are chasing some lunatic. He thinks he can single handedly conquer Hyrule. Even Ganondorf couldn't do that. He had to raise massive legions of soldiers before he could begin his reign of terror.
Ralph: you talked to him!
Link: well, sort of. Come on gather your things and lets get moving we may be able to gain a lot of ground today. Today we should catch up. I'll explain on the way.
And so the group to head east and quickly found the exit to the small patch of forest. As they walked link told them about what had happened while he slept. The group listened with keen interest.
Maku: well that information makes my dream make much more sense. He was draining me on the thoughts of what happened that day when my grandfather died battling Ganondorf.
Link: right. So remember if you have a dream like this try and remember that it is Savroth trying to mess with your minds.
Drom: we still know very little about who he is or what he wants.
Link: we can find that out when we find him.
At 8 o'clock in the morning they came to what seemed to be a long valley. Before them was a long stretch of grass that was dotted with hundreds of boulders, rocks and caves. On either side there were large rocky hills that were covered with caves.
Drom: careful barbarian clans live all over this place. The clans fight each other all the time and we could easily find ourselves in the middle of a battle.
Link: he's right fighting is as natural as rain here.
They walked through the maze of rock formations. Several times they came to a place that was littered with skeletons, which showed that many battles had been waged there. A few times Link saw some barbarians climbing along the hills and coming in and out of caves.
Treom: what happens if they do start fighting.
Link well, if we can't avoid im afraid all we can do is join the battle.
As they walked farther through the more activity they saw in the hills all of the sudden scream came from one of the hills they looked over and saw one the barbarians had been struck by an arrow he stood in shock for a moment before collapsing and rolling down the rocky hill. by the time he reached the bottom he was severely cut up and dead instantly a large group of other barbarians came out, saw their friend dead and began looking around frantically for the murderer.
Link: get down!
They quickly ducked behind a large boulder.
Ralph: did they see us?
Link: I don't know.
Maku: ah, shoot we're dead. They are going to start looking for who did it and they are going to find us.
Link peeked out from behind the boulder and saw that there was now about 100 of them standing in a crowd and looking around with there weapons drawn. Then one of them saw link. He pointed frantically and began yelling. Soon the others had seen him to.
Ralph: nice going.
The whole clan began charging down the hill.
Link: run for it.
Just when they were about to get up and run, another clan popped up from the rocks behind them and fired several volleys of arrows right over their heads, just barely missing them.
Maku: ah, holy hell!
The two clans rushed at each other, with the group left standing in the middle.
Link: Epona! Get you and the other horse out of here now!
Epona obediently galloped away as fast as she could. Ralph's horse followed. The group darted from behind the rock and scramble up and even larger slab of rock so that they stood about five feet above everyone else.
Link: don't draw attention to yourself and kill anyone that climbs this rock!
They all stood up just as the two army's collided with each other soon the soldiers began trying to kill the group. They drew their weapons and battled the barbaric. The battled roared on even though it was pointless and stupid. There probably was no good reason at all why the one clan had attacked the other. They looked down at the fighting below them.
Link: don't fall!
He screamed over the roar of battle. Suddenly one of the men leaped onto the rock. Treom stabbed him with his spear. The man let out a cry of pain. He used his last ounce of strength to grab Treom before he fell backwards off the rock.
Maku: Treom!
But it was to late Treom and the man fell into the swarming cloud of fighting soldiers.
As soon as he was in the middle of the battle the short Treom disappeared completely.
Link: no!
The clan that had been attacked was losing desperately and made a hasty retreat. The other clan followed leaving the group standing on the rock in the middle of nowhere.
Drom: idiotic barbarians! They fight those pointless battles!
Link: and they captured our friend. We have to go after them.
Ralph: what! You can't just go poking through those caves!
Link: I don't care if we have to kill everyone in this whole valley! We are not going on with out Treom! Ralph: then you can go! But I'm going to find my daughter!
Link: fine!
Drom, Maku and Link ran after the mob, leaving Ralph standing on the rock.
Ralph: fine! I don't need you! It would have been nicer to leave me with a horse! Steal my horse! Leave me here! Losers!
But they were already far in the distance.
Link: I knew it.
Savroth: yes, you're a very bright guy. I knew you'd figure it out quickly. I'm attacking you and your friends by attacking there courage and will to go on. By dwelling on their darkest hours.
Link: who are you? And where do you have Jamie?
