Diamond was shuttered went he came face to face with a skull that was
nailed into the wall. Below it was the rest of its skeleton, shattered.
"This place gives me the creeps." Diamond said as he continued to wander down the seemingly endless hallway. Torches lit the way for the warrior as he continued through the main hallway. When he got to the end a huge door stood in front of him. "How the hell does this open?" Diamond scratched his head and looked around.
He found a piece of paper clutched in the hand of another skeleton and read it. "Knock and enter." He read from the paper. He thought for a minute and ultimately knocked on the door. The door rose up fast and Diamond got on the other side before it came down. He leaned face first on the door and took a breath. He turned around and came face to face with another skeleton. He thought it was an ordinary skeleton until it smiled and roared at him. The skeleton swung a huge mace at Diamond. Diamond rolled over the shot and drew his sword.
The skeleton roared at Diamond again and began to spin in a circle. He spotted another door to his left, but it was blocked by bars. He ran at the skeleton and swung his sword at his numerous times. The skeleton then fell to pieces at Diamonds feet, literally. Diamond thought it was over but the skull was bouncing around the room.
Diamond followed it until he walked into the newly reformed skeleton. The bag of bones snapped its head back on and roared again. He swung his mace in a furious rage. Diamond then again dodged the attack.
"I know what you are." Diamond said as he dodged another attack. "Your one of them Stalfos things."
The Stalfos roared at him and smashed his mace into the wall. The rocks fell and out crept a ReDead. The zombie screamed and Diamond froze against his will. He was released a few seconds later and he slashed away and the hideous creature. The ReDead fell to the ground and didn't move. The Stalfos slammed its mace into the wall again but instead of another ReDead a different form of Stalfos walked out. This one was carrying a sword and shield and had red armor on.
The sword-swinging Stalfos stepped around Diamond in intimidation as the other swung its mace around like a fan. The two cornered Diamond in sort of a flanking position. Diamond kept thinking of which one to strike. If he went for the Stalfos with the mace he'd be left wide open to an attack from the other.
Diamond then had an idea. He went for the one with the sword, the Stalfos then blocked with its shield. Diamond smiled and jamp to the side. The Stalfos scratched his sword tip on his skull in wonder. He did not see that when Diamond attacked, the other Stalfos had begun to move in closer and closer to strike with its swinging mace. The Stalfos could not stop its attack and the large metal mace shattered the sword swinger.
Diamond then moved in on the other Stalfos, striking it in the back several times. It eventually fell to pieces again and Diamond hacked away at the hopping skull. He did not get in enough blows to take the Stalfos out and it reformed again. The Stalfos swung its mace in a furious rage and Diamond jamp back to dodge the attack but barley made it out. A spike on the mace scratched his red shirt as he fell jamp back.
"Great. That was my only shirt." Diamond said as he darted at the Stalfos and jamp to the side. He slashed at the Stalfos' arm and cut it off. The skeleton dropped its mace and tried to put its arm back on. While he was doing this Diamond came from behind and hacked away at the skeleton's back. It fell to pieces again and Diamond gave one last hard slash at the skull and all the bones of the Stalfos incinerated.
The bars on the nearby door raised and he walked over and caught his breath. The door rose with a simple knock and he entered the next room. In the center of this room stood a pedestal. On the pedestal was a palm-sized piece of silver that was shaped like a crescent moon.
"That must be it." Diamond said as he walked closer to it. "I never thought it would be this easy." He got within grabbing range of the jewel and reached for it. Then a man appeared in front of him. "What the?" He looked up at the man. He was a bit taller than Diamond with a scar across his left eyebrow. His hand rested on the handle of a silver staff that was almost as tall as him.
"It's not going to be that easy." The man said as he turned around and swiped the Silver Moon off the pedestal. "Because if you want this you'll have to go through all the trials this palace has to offer and then you'll have to take it from me, Cut Throat Creon!" Creon bolted off like a gunshot with the Silver Moon in his hand.
"He's fast." Diamond thought. "Too fast."
Diamond took a good look at the room he was in. There was a door to the left, a door to the right, and a huge door in front. One of the doors had a huge lock on it, and the center door seemed to be impossible to open. So Diamond went the only way he could, the left.
Diamond entered the door and looked around. He saw a statue of a moon in each corner; in the center of the room were three torches, unlit.
"Ok." Diamond said to himself. "There's a door over there, but there's bars on it like the one a couple of doors back. Maybe there's some more Stalfos around here, or maybe I just have to light these torches."
He began to walk toward the torches while constantly looking over his shoulder. All of the sudden he was stopped by a growl and a Bokoblin walked out of the shadows. The short little creature gave Diamond a cold stare as it held it's big bladed sword and wooden shield.
Diamond put his hand on his sword handle to get ready for the Bokoblin's attack. The little runt charged at him and was furiously swiped with an upward slash. The Bokoblin dropped its shield and sword as it hit the ground. The little fella got up and charged Diamond unarmed. The Bokoblin again was met with an upward slash, thus finishing it off for good. The body exploded into black mist and a rupee fell on the ground. Diamond picked it up and noticed that one of the torches was lit. He placed the rupee in his wallet and continued to walk towards the torches.
Again Diamond was stopped, but this time it wasn't a Bokoblin. Two flaming skulls emerged on each side of Diamond. They let out a terrible laugh before flying at him. Diamond jamp back to avoid the skulls and the two ran into each other. They were both dazed and confused as Diamond grabbed the end of his jacket and wisped it up.
The Silent Dust Cyclone had covered the room in dust as it always did. The skulls remained silent so they could not be heard. The only thing that Diamond could hear was dripping water.
"Wait a minute." Diamond thought. "Dripping water? Where's that coming from?" Diamond moved through the dust to find the source of the water. He felt his way along the wall to find a loose rock. The water was leaking from there.
The dust cleared and the skulls let out their laugh once again. Diamond put his hand on the loose rock and smiled.
"You guys look thirsty." Diamond said. "How about a drink!" He pulled the rock from the wall and water came out like a river. The water flooded all over the skulls and their flames were doused and put out. The skulls looked up at each other and flew the other way. Diamond put the rock back in the wall to cut off the water. He then darted at the skulls and took them both out in a single horizontal slash.
Diamond turned around to see another torch lit. He continued to walk around the room until another enemy came out. And one did. But this was no skull or Bokoblin. A massive Darknut walked from the shadows, his armor clanked as his feet contacted with the ground. He wielded a huge sword that was as wide as Diamond's head and twice as long as Diamond's sword.
The Darknut got in a stance and circled Diamond. Diamond was the first to strike, slashing countless times at the knight. But after he was finished the Darknut stood and laughed. Diamond didn't even scratch the thick armor of the Darknut. The Darknut swung his sword at Diamond, but Diamond dodged the blow. Diamond proceeded to run around the Darknut, looking for any sort of weakness. Diamond then spotted the laces that held the armor in place. If he could get that, then he'd have a more clear shot at the Darknut.
Diamond and the Darknut stared each other down. The Darknut went to strike and Diamond took the opportunity to roll under the attack and slice the laces on the Darknut's armor. The Darknut's armor fell to the ground and Diamond smiled. Slash after slash after slash, Diamond hacked away at the Darknut until it fell. Diamond turned around to see the final torch light up and a small chest appear. Diamond walked over to the chest and kicked it open. He reached down and grabbed the object that was in side.
"A key?" Diamond said as he held the small key. "Figures. I bet it unlocks that door out there." Diamond put the key in his pocket and exited the room. He stared across the main room to see the locked door. Diamond walked across the cold stone floor and stopped at the door. He pulled the key out of his pocket and stuck it in the lock. He turned the key and the lock fell to the ground. Then with a knock on the door he entered the next room.
The room was nothing but an empty room. There was nothing in there but a locked chest. He walked over to the chest and stared at it. "Now where's the key to this?" He thought. All of the sudden he heard a loud breathing. He turned around slowly to see a massive troll sleeping in the corner. "Well I bet he has it." He said out loud and then quickly put his hands over he mouth.
The troll awoke in an instant and looked at Diamond. It got up with a grunt a roared loudly into the empty room. It slammed his hand on the wall and a huge club fell from the ceiling. The troll grabbed the club and stomped over towards Diamond, who had already unsheathed his sword. Diamond stared the troll in his ugly face and the troll roared again. The troll swung its huge club and Diamond ran out of the way. The club smashed into the floor, shaking the ground.
The troll turned his head toward Diamond who was breathing heavily. He knew that if he wanted the key to that chest, he'd have to take out this massive monstrosity of brute force.
"This place gives me the creeps." Diamond said as he continued to wander down the seemingly endless hallway. Torches lit the way for the warrior as he continued through the main hallway. When he got to the end a huge door stood in front of him. "How the hell does this open?" Diamond scratched his head and looked around.
