The caravan was packed and ready to go before the sun came up. The people
worked busily packing their supplies and hooking the wagons to the horses.
Link walked over to Formar, who was overseeing the move.
Link: Morning.
Formar: Morning.
Link: Hey, you never told me what exactly where this group of Savroth's soldiers is doing or where they are.
Formar's face went slightly stiff. At that moment Treom and Maku walked by. He looked at them and then whispered something in Links ear. Links eyes widened slightly.
Link: that's in possible! He can't do that can he?
Formar solemnly nodded.
Formar: Ganondorf was able to summon Volvagia to his service, why can't Savroth do this.
Link's face turned slightly pale.
Link: well if that's the case then I don't know what we can do about it.
Formar: we are just trying to destroy the installation they have at Mt. Helkiplier.
He pointed to a large mountain that was only a couple of miles away.
Link: wow, we're that close to it.
Formar: yes, we will be ready for battle by this afternoon.
Link: right.
The caravan finished packing and it set out again. Link and Ralph detached their horses and joined the Caravan guard on horseback. They followed a path that led through the small patches of forest. At about two o'clock they came out of the woods and were in a large plain. The mountain was close. Suddenly the caravan came to a stop.
Formar: women, children and all other things that are not to fight must stop and stay here. Men, prepare, we march upon the mountain in one hour. There was a scramble of men grabbing, swords, clubs, shields, bows, armor and torches. Link was given chain mail armor that was very elaborately detailed and shone gold. He sharpened and cleaned his blade until it sparkled in the sun and was sharp enough to cut down a tree with one strike. He polished his Hylian shield so that it to gleamed a dazzling blue. He filled his quiver with arrows and slung it over his back. Then he took hold of his Bow and swung it over his shoulder. He put Zelda's three stones in his pocket as well as his hook shot. Now he was ready for battle. He climbed unto Epona and galloped to meet the soldiers that were leaving. As he was leaving though he heard a distinctive rustling in the bushes. He looked over and it stopped.
Link: pirates. The bloody pirates must have followed us!
He quickly took out his bow and fired into the trees. Someone let out a sharp cry of pain and there was a mad scramble to retreat.
Link: should have known they'd follow us.
He continued forward and joined the large group of men that had assembled. It was a small bunch of soldiers. Link slowly rode through the crowd of men that had assembled. They were ragged and were not properly trained. Their weapons were not well treated and were dirty. The numbers were not impressive. When counted the group of soldiers came out to be this.
200 militias, 50 archers, 20 cavalry archers, 60 cavalry units, 1 prince, 1 Goron, 1deku, 1 Zora and 1 hero of time.
This was hardly enough men to seriously consider attacking with. Link frowned at the unimpressive army.
Link: do you have any more swords?
Formar: yeah, many, just not enough men to wield them.
Link: then the women shall fight.
To this there was many gasp of shock, shouts of anger and grumbling of disagreement.
Link: we need more man power then this! I've seen women that are more skilled warriors then me! Any women that can wield a sword I want fighting until we have no more spare weapons.
The women slowly equipped themselves. When they were done there was 200 more soldiers, leaving only a handful that were left behind.
Link: lets give 'em hell!
The army let out a united cheer and began marching in a line toward the mountain. Maku rode with Link on Epona and Treom rode with Ralph. The four of them rode in front followed by the cavalry then the infantry and the archers in the back. Then men in back started a chorus of singing that link and the others had never heard before. Despite the low number of soldiers their moral seemed high. The sun crawled higher and higher upward as they marched toward the looming mountain. As they approached the mountain shadows seemed to crawl up it and it seemed to grow increasingly blacker. Link silenced their singing as they came within earshot of Mt. Helkiplier. They passed through a very thin layer of trees and emerged in another large field that would serve as the battlefield. They could now see small buildings and houses sticking out of the mountain. Link could make out small figures crawling around like ants. The soldiers took up formation and prepared their charge. A horn rang out from the mountain and Link could see the small figures suddenly scramble in all directions.
Link: all right, all cavalry units, we will lead the charge. Infantry will come up behind us. All archers are to stay on higher ground and cover us.
To soldiers took their appropriate formation and readied themselves. They could see a large army of enemy troops had formed at the base of the mountain and were running at full speed towards them.
Link: we have to strike soon so we can be as close to the mountain as possible.
Formar and Drom came up next to Link.
Link: Drom you think you could roll ahead of us?
Drom: sure thing.
Link: Formar, what types of soldiers are we looking at here?
Formar: Lizafoes, men and urk-hai are all we've seen.
Link: All right we might be able to handle that. Are we all ready!
The men behind him gave a roar of encouragement.
Link: on my mark the cavalry charges!
The number of enemy troops seemed to increase as they got closer and closer. Drom curled into a ball.
Link: Maku, fire my bow on horseback. Treom, throw your spears.
They nodded and took the weapons. Ralph and Link gripped their swords and shield.
Link: charge!
The front line let out a roar and charged at the enemy. The infantry followed. They swept over the field like a wave and drew nearer the enemy. They were only 100 feet away. Maku fired the bow and it struck one of the men in the neck. Drom rolled ahead and collided with the enemy line first. Link glimpsed him run over a urk-hai before he to collided with the enemy. Epona reared back on her rear legs and kick several foes out of the way, forming a small clearing in between the soldiers and although there were men fighting alongside them they were surrounded by a thick cloud of enemy soldiers. Maku fired his bow into the crowd and heard a sharp cry of pain as it struck something. the noise of battle swarmed all around them, creating a cloud of confused frenzy. A lizafoe leaped at Link with a crazed gleam in its eye. A lizafoe is a horrible mutation of a man crossed with a lizard. They have scaly green skin. They stand upright like a man but besides that they resemble a lizard. Their head is shaped like a salamander and they have razor sharp teeth. They have a long and surprisingly lethal tail. They aren't very bright but still manage to be able to forge blades and armor. Little is known about the culture and society of this foul creature. The lizard leaped high in the air and was about to bring its sword down on link, but link thrust his blade into the Lizafoes stomach. Green blood shot from the wound and splattered Link and Maku. Link held the impaled Lizard above his head, still stuck to the sword as if it were some sort of trophy, before he let it slump to the ground. Another one lunged at him but Treom killed it with a well-placed spear before it completed the jump. Suddenly about five enemy soldiers jumped on top of Epona and knocked Link and Maku from her. Epona broke free of her captures, sending them flying in all directions. She retreated into the protection of the friendly soldiers and disappeared. Link, not wanting to be overwhelmed by the enemy, used Dins fire to kill all of the enemy soldiers with a five-foot radius. Then he cut down several soldiers with ease. The battlefield was now stained with blood of different colors and the end result was a murky brown color that covered the field. Link found himself again surrounded on all sides by Lizafoes. They gnashed their teeth and taunted him. Link lunged at one, beheaded it and watched it fall to the ground, oozing green blood everywhere. One of them leaped at Link and did a sort of flip in mid-air. Its tail struck Link in the chest and easily opened up the wound he had received in the forest from fighting the wolves. He let out a sharp cry of pain as his shirt and armor turned red with his own blood. He clutched his chest and fell to his knees. One of the Lizafoes came at him from behind and clamped his teeth on Links head. Link threw his hands up and desperately held the jaws back. He knew that a Lizafoe could crush his skull with the power generated by their teeth. He felt the teeth sink into his head and leave small holes in his head. It wasn't a serious wound, but it would be fatal if they went in any further. He struggled to hold back the razor sharp teeth. It trashed violently and Link nearly lost his grip. Drom saw the two of them struggling and rushed to Links aid. He came up from behind and cut the Lizard in half with a mighty swing of his axe. Then he threw Link over his shoulder and fell back into the army of soldiers behind him. On the grand scale of things it could have been much worse, but still the wounds hurt badly, especially the sharp sting he had suffered from that one's tail. As he walked he was jumped from behind. Drom could not fight while holding Link so he reluctantly threw Link onto the ground, turned around and faced the slew of foes before him. The sun slowly disappeared behind the hill behind them and darkness crept over the raging battle. The struggle was coming down to the wire. The armies were just about evenly matched but if they won a victory here on the field they probably would not have enough to destroy the installation, unless something intervened with the battle somehow. Things were looking grim. Burning torches now lighted the fight. Link watched as hundreds of bobbing torches did battle in the night. They would have to retreat soon. The odds were getting to be stacked against them. Link helplessly lay on the grass as soldiers ran past him to join their friends. The thing that happened next was so violent and sudden that it nearly halted all the soldiers, form both sides, where they stood. There was a massive earthquake. The ground rocked so fiercely that most were not able to stay upright. There was a moment confusion and chaos following it. Then the mountain itself began to move. The top of the mountain trembled before exploding in ball of fire. Rocks were sent raining down for miles around.
Link: no! We're to late.
He struggled to his feet, clutching his chest. The mountain fired a blast of white-hot Lava sailing into the sky. Its light illuminated the whole battlefield. By now everyone had frozen in their place and no one was fighting anyone, but instead staring in awe at the sight before them. Lava ran down the side of the mountain in a dazzling eruption. Then, from the crater at the top of the volcano, a Large, fiery red hand appeared. It had gigantic talons and the hand seemed to be made of hardened Lava. The hand gripped the side of the mountain and the rest of the creature pulled it's self up, before them stood a menacing, enormous, angry and evil belrog. It stood on top of the mountain and spread its massive wings. Lava sprayed from them as they moved up and down. It raised its head into the air and fired a enormous blast of flame into the air from its mouth. The belrog was an enormous creature. People know very little about this foul monster. They are very rare to come by. They usually live their whole lives inside a volcano. They are extremely aggressive and extremely dangerous. Until this moment no one has been able to tame a belrog, but Savroth managed to do it. How and to what purpose they didn't know yet, but he sure did do it. The belrog had two horns like that of a ram. Its claws were very sharp and could cut through still with very little force. Smoke came of it whenever it moved. Its most noticeable feature was its eyes. Its eyes were like rubies and they shown brighter then anything else on the belrog. They had a piercing gaze and legend has it that if a belrog concentrated hard enough it could kill a man just by looking at him. The belrog let out a loud roar and took flight. It swooped down that mountain and sped towards the battle. As it flew over it shot a blast of flame into the ground killing soldiers from both sides. It turned up into the air and came around for another pass. Link stood up slowly even if he was hurt he just had to stand up to it somehow. The belrog came down low and repeated its attack it headed in links direction. It pulled up just as it reached Link. Link acted quickly. He reached into his pocketed and pulled out his hook shot. The hook shot was a trusty spring-loaded device that fired a metal hook that was tied to a chain. When it sank into something the wieldier could recoil the chain and therefore pulling himself along. As the belrog went over him he fired it into the belrog right upper leg. The belrog seemed not to notice in the slightest. Link was dragged a couple feet before the slack on the chain ended and he was hoisted into the air. The belrog went high into the night sky this time. It swung around a Link swayed at a dangerous angle. He was desperately holding on with one hand to the handle of the hook shot. The belrog swooped down again and Link flew no more then a foot above the armies. Several times enemies jumped in a attempt to attack Link but failed. Link hovered inches above their heads and cut his foot on the tip of someone's sword. He let out a howl of pain but managed to keep a hold onto the chain. As the belrog rose up again there was a sudden jerk on the chain put this time Link could feel that it was not from the monsters movement alone this time. Link looked up and to his horror saw that the metal spike on the end of the chain was melting. The chains were begun to melt away and soon the hook shot would be useless and Link would fall to his death. He had to get the belrog on the ground some how or he would be a goner. He looked up at the belrog and smoke blew in his face. He held his breath so he didn't pass out from inhaling the smoke and ash. He reached over his shoulder and drew his sword. Everyone on the battlefield was watching his struggle high above the ground now. He took hold of the sword with his free hand. With what strength he could muster he threw the sword as hard as he could. The blade soared towards the belrog and pierced underneath its chin. The blade went up through its mouth and touched the roof of its mouth. It was a critical hit. The belrog had not noticed him before but it sure did notice Link now. It let out a roar of pain and anger and it began to bleed white-hot lava, which fell back down the earth and barely missed Link as they did. The belrog began to fall towards earth. The belrog fell first and dragged Link along with him. The force would have ripped his arm off if it had not been that the chain snapped at that moment. Both Link and the belrog fell back towards earth. They were moving at a slight angle, away from everyone else. Link landed on the belrog's back in mid flight and rode it all the way down. They came down in a large plain near where the battle was taking place. The belrog left a large crater where it fell and Link flew at least forty feet before hitting the ground again. The force of being throw from the beast and then hitting the ground had knocked the wind out of him. The belrog let out a roar of anger and got back on its feet. Link watched as the sword that he had thrown melted and fell onto the ground in a big pile of molten metal. Link struggled to his feet and pulled out his shield. The belrog blew a blast of fire at him. Link aimed his shield at it as it came in and the fired bounced of the shield and went around him in a big dome of flame. it left him standing in a circle of charred grass. Link reached inside his pocket to pull out Zelda's stones. They weren't there they must have fallen out while he had been up in the air. Maku had his bow. Link wasn't very well equipped or in the best condition to try and take on a belrog. The belrog protruded its claws and marched towards Link. Link, thinking quickly reached inside his pocketed and pulled out his trusty boomerang. Link had gotten his boomerang when he was a kid. He carried it with him even though it wasn't a very lethal weapon. In the darkness the most noticeable target was the creatures eye. Link flung the boomerang with skill and it struck the monster in the eye. It howled with anger and Link ran into the woods behind him. The belrog threw fire at him and set many trees on fire but Link was to deep into the woods. He staggered back out on the other side. He looked over his shoulder and saw the belrog take flight into the night sky and fly away. He was mentally and physically exhausted and he was badly wounded. He collapsed onto the ground and lost consciousness.
Link: Morning.
Formar: Morning.
Link: Hey, you never told me what exactly where this group of Savroth's soldiers is doing or where they are.
Formar's face went slightly stiff. At that moment Treom and Maku walked by. He looked at them and then whispered something in Links ear. Links eyes widened slightly.
