Chapter 7- Enemy reveiled.

"I have bad news..." Raiju said, "The stuff I got from your ankle is poison and I don't have a cure... But I will try my best to figure out how to cure this."

This hit Afios like a ton of bricks. He sat there for hours. I'm going to die. He thought This isn't how I wanted to die. I wanted to go at an old age with my wife by my side... Afios layed back down, facing the wall so no one could see the tears in his eyes. He didn't want anyone to know he was weaker then he looked at the moment. He slowly drifted into a sorrow filled sleep.

Link sat there and watched Afios' body tremble. He knew what Afios was doing. He had seen it so many times during his adventures. Poor guy. I can't blame him for crying. I would be doing the same thing if I were in his shoes. And it might have been me if he wasn't carrying me. Link thought Its my fault he's in that bed instead of me.

"Link," came a small voice from a small blue fairy, "Zelda said she thinks the venom has something to do with that new evil that excaped from the Shadow Realm. She thinks he powered up that Stalchild with stuper strength and venom to get you. But since you were on Afios' back he got it instead."

"So it is my fault." Link said
"Link, don't blame yourself. No one knew about this."

"I know Navi, but the Stalchild was after me, and Afios was between us."

Navi sighed. She knew Link wouldn't listen to her. The only way he would believe it wasn't his fault is if Afios himself said it wasn't. But does Afios believe this is Link's fault? Navi turned to the sleeping Sheikah boy and watched his nightmare filled dream.

Afios' Dream

He was walking surrounded by nothing but black. Everywhere he looked all he saw was the color black. And he couldn't tell up from down. He couldn't tell if he was actually going anywhere as he walked. At first he thought he went blind, until he saw his hands. Soon after he got tired from walking and he sat down. He looked at his ankle, amazed it was all healed up and normal. He sighed. He had no idea where he was or why he was here. All he knew was he wanted out.

"Hello!" He shouted "Is anyone here?" He got no answer. "I thought as much." He said to himself and started walking again. He walked for what seemed like an eternaty.

"I want to get out of here!" He shouted as loud as he could. When he heard nothing but an acho he let of a growl. He jumped when a hand touched his shoulder. She spun around.
"Link?"
"Afios, where are we?"

Lake Side Lab

"Poor guy. I wonder whats going through his head." Navi said, "What do you think, Link." She spun around when she didn't get an answer. She saw the young hero asleep in the chair he was sitting in. "Link..."

"I've got it!"

Dream World

"I thought I was dead until you got here." Afios said, "Now I'm not so sure."

"Unless you died and the bracelet made me die!" Link said, paniced, "I'm to young to be dead! I still have to save Hyrule again!"
"Link I don't think we're dead." Afios said, "I think we're in some other demension."

"Very good." came a voice from nowhere, but everywhere at the same time. "You have figured it out. This is the realm of Shadows. Where I have been sealed for longer than I care to remember. I am called Darlgo and I want my freedom!"

"And what does that have to do with us?" Afios asked, defiantly.
"You want to get in my way. I can't have that." Darlgo said, "I will trap your spirits here and use your bodies for my biding."
"That I will not let happen." came a fourth voice. Link and Afios turned and saw their Gerudo friend.

"Beylinda!" They said, "What are you doing here?"

"I can when I sensed your spirits were gone. This is the world between life and death. As the decendant of the Sage of Spirit I would come here to clear my head." Beylinda explained, "Now lets get out of here."

She turned around to walk away when a wall of fire appeared infront of her. She merely laughed at the attempt to stop her, and held out her hands. An orange light came from her hand and shot into the flame, causing it to disperce. An angry growl filled the room.

"You should know, here my spiritual powers are stronger." Beylinda said, "And you're spirit is in our world. So your powers are weakened."

"This can not happen!" Darlgo growled "After all the troubel I went through to get the Hero here! I possessed the Stalchild enhancing his strength and poisoned the Sheikah, even if I was after the Hero. You have not seen the last of me!"

With that a door appeared and Beylinda walked through. Link and Afios followed her through the door. As they walked through the door the bracelets let off a faint glow. They looked at the bracelets before continuing out of the world between life and death.

"Hehehe" Darlgo's voice rang, "Let us have a little fun. And weaken them at the same time."

Lake side Lab

"This is the cure!" Raiju said, happily, He held up a blue liquid in a vial and a red liquid in another vile, showing Navi. "I've got it! See how the blood is normal!"

"Thats great! Give it to him!" Naci said, as she followed Raiju into the room where Afios and Link slept. Raiju injected the blue liquid into Afios' ankle and watched as the skin returned to normal almost instantly. And added bonus was the healing of the bone, as if it was never broken.

"Ungh" excaped a groan from the boy's mouth. His eyes opened to reveil bright blue irises. Link fell off the chair on the on the other side of the room, and was laying with his head on the floor and one foot on the chair. He blinked his golden yellow eyes a few times as if trying to get his barings.

"Are you alright?" Navi asked, flying up to the fallen boy, who merely nodded in response. He looked up at Navi, who was staring at him.

"What?" He asked, wanting why she was staring at him.
