Chapter 9

Once again, the blonde-haired adopted Kokiri girl was in Kakariko Village. This time, however, she was on a roof instead of underneath the tree.

As Link walked into Kakariko Village, Bongo Bongo attacked the village. The village was on fire. At the last second, Anna jumped down from the roof, and Sheik appeared in a flash of light and a resounding CRACK!

"Go Link! We'll handle this!" Sheik said through gritted teeth.

Link looked at Anna for guidance. Before she could point to the graveyard, Bongo Bongo attacked Link, knocking him unconscious.

Anna looked at Sheik grimly, and raised her hands. Sheik nodded, and together they managed to trap Bongo Bongo in the Shadow Temple.

When Link came to, Anna and Sheik were staring at him grimly.

"The spirit of the well had gotten loose." Sheik started.

"Together, we managed to trap him in the Shadow Temple." Anna continued.

"Now he is the spirit of the Shadow Temple. But he can get loose again."

'Consider the fact that there is a Spirit Temple and say that three times fast.' Anna thought dryly.

Link looked at Anna, who pointed to the graveyard grimly. He nodded, and left.

"You know, Bongo Bongo only got out because Link got the Lens of Truth out of the well." Anna said, turning to Sheik.

Sheik nodded. "I know. But he needed it. Especially for this Temple."

"But is all this really worth it? I mean, we do have to keep ourselves safe from Ganondorf, but we've sacrificed so much! Our childhood, our family, our illusion of safety, our homes!"

"Again, I know. But we living Sages have to do what we can to help." Sheik replied.

Anna stomped over to the gravekeeper's house, which is where she was staying, grumbling.

"Sacrifices must be made!" Sheik shouted after her.
