I appologise for the long wait. I had this chapter plus the next four done, and when I to finish up the next one the disk was bad and I lost all those chapters. So I have to do them all again. Anyway thanks to Dragon of Atlantis for reviewing.

Chapter 11- The Shadow's Perils

Link, Navi, and Afios were walking in the tunnel for what seemed like hours. The only light source was Navi's glow. The dank tunnel had seemingly no life what so ever, aside from the tree wanderers. The musty smell of the darkness filled their noses as they walked. As they walked they avoided broken walls and fallen stones from the ceilling.

"Man, its so dark I can barely see my hand infront of my face." Afios said, "Can you glow any brighter?"

"No." Navi said, irritated, "I can't."

"You don't have to get all snippy." Afios said, crossing his arms. Navi grunted, and flew a little farther ahead. Afios sighed and looked over at the teenage Hero. He could barely make out a figure. He gave up quickly and focused on the small glowing fairy.

Link on the other hand could see just fine. He enjoyed his new Sheikah eyes. He could see as if it was a clear starlit night. He looked over and the now younger male and could see him trying hard just to focus on the light eminating from Navi. He felt bad for the boy. He had taken all of his abilities from him, and Link could see he was trying hard to cope. As much as he enjoyed his new abilities he knew he would have to give them back. He sighed and also focused on the small fairy infront of them.

"Link, its not your fault we're like this." Afios said, startling the Hero of Time.

"How did you...?"

"Read you're mind? I didn't." Afios said, "But thats what I would be thinking. And you have my spirit."

"Maybe you two aren't as different as you thought." Navi said, flying back to the two.

"Hey, look!" Link said, "Its a light!" He ran over to the light.

"Wait!" Afios and Navi shouted, but it was too late. Link ran right into a group of ReDead. They all shrieked and Link was paralized. Navi flew over and darted around the ReDead, her small amount of light doing nothing but annoying them.

Afios tried to find anything he could use as a weapon, since he didn't have his sword. Once he didn't find anything but an old bow, be picked up what he thought was an arrow, until it moved in his had. He let out a shocked gasp, which cause all the ReDead to look at him. This gave Link what he needed, and he pulled out the Master Sword and quickly took care of the ReDead. And the light from the Sword also let them see a door with a hole in it. The hole was the source of light.

On the outside of the door lead to the Windmill in Kakoriko. They looked around for any sign of the monsterous Impa. Once they detemermined she was no where in sight they climbed down the ladder and decided to head to the Shadow Temple. Once they were on the cliff they took the ladder behind the potion shop and jumped the fence.

"Lets go." Navi said, "But be careful not to be seen by the zombies." She gestured to the zombified villagers who were roaming around mindlessly. Link and Afios nodded and stuck to the shadow's and moved only when there were no zomies around.

After an hour of this they finally reached the graveyard. They snuck around to the large tombstone that was near the entrance and hid behind that. But they couldn't go any farther because Impa was guarding the entrance to the temple.

"What do we do now?" Link asked.

"If I was still Sheikah, and we weren't bound together, I could distract her while you went into the temple." Afios said, "But that won't do since I'm no longer Sheikah and we are bound together."

"Perhaps I can help." came a voice that sounded oddly like Nabooru. An orange figure appeared infront of Link, Navi, and Afios. The figure turned into Nabooru and Beylinda. "I'll distract her with my awesome Gerudo abilities and and wicked Sage powers. While you three get those Light Arrows."

"Yes mother." Beylinda said, and grabbed Afios' and Link's arms and ran to the temple.

"And I still want those grandchildren!" Nabooru shouted, causing Beylinda to fall over, dragging Link and Afios with her. Nabooru chuckled before jumping and drawing Impa's attention on herself. Impa chased Nabooru while Link, Navi, Afios, and Beylinda ran into the Shadow Temple. Only to see all the tourches unlit.

"Now what?" Beylinda asked

"We need to light all of the tourches." Afios said.

"Then Link can just use his Fire Arrows." Beylinda said

"I can't light these all with the fire arrows." Link said, "I don't have enough magic power."

"I can light them all." Afios said, and pulled out some Deku Nut from his now oversized tunic. He tossed them into the forest of unlit tourches and the flashes caused all the tourches to lite. Thus opening the door. They then heard a shrill shriek come from behind them. They turned and saw Nabooru running up to them.

"GO NOW!" She shouted, and pushed then all into the temple. She then summoned some wind spirits to put out the tourches and close the door, trapping Impa out of the temple.

"What was the point of that!" Afios shouted, "Now were stuck in here!"

"Calm down, I can get us out with my Sage Powers." Nabooru said
"No, you can't!" Afios said, "Only the Sage of Shadow can use their powers in here."

"Oh..." Nabooru said, surprised, "Well, its only a matter of time before she breaks down that door anyway, let get the Light Arrow by the time she does. Do you know where its at?"

"Not really." Afios said, "But I do remember its in a room behind the Prayer Room(Boss Chamber)."

"Then lets go there." Link said, "We can tale the boat. Its this way if I remember." Link started walking, when Afios cleared his throat. Link looked at him, and he pointed to the oposite direction Link was heading. Link blushed, and followed the group.

It wasn't too long before they got to the boat, and rode it to the other side of the temple. There they went into the room with the hidden floors and carefully passed them, after a few close calls. Once inside the top part of the room they dropped down and landed on what looked like a gaint bango drum. Once there they looked for any sign of a door that lead to the Shadow Realm.

"I found it!" Navi shouted, "Its in the dark waters."

"Then we better hurry to get to it." Afios said, "The water slowly saps the life from whatever is in it." With that he jumped in, as did the others, and they followed Navi, who was immune to the water since she was a fairy, to the swirling black portal. In the center was a golden arrow. Link swam up to it and grabbed it, causing the portal to close. They quickly swam back to the surface, where they rested, regaining the engergy the water stole.

"We did it." Nabooru said, "Now we have the advantage. We can fully charge the Crystal without having expose the Sages. Which reminds me, this is for you." Nabooru pulled out a blue arrow from her pack anf gave it to Link.

"Wow, the ice Arrow." Link said, "Thanks!"

"Now, hows about we get out of here." Afios said, "Oh, wait. We can't." No sooner did he say those words then did Impa burst through the ceilling. Link took aim with the Light Arrow, and fired. Impa's dodged it, and slammed Link into a wall, which activated the bracelets, and Afios flew after him. They collided, and a golden light shone from them. When it cleared both were back to normal, and the bracelets were gone.

"I'm normal!" They both shouted, Link a little sadder than Afios. They were taken from their cheerful moods when Impa screamed and launched a ball of darkness at them. Link and Afios dodged, and Link let off another Light Arrow.

Afios saw the fisrt arrow Link let fly stuck in the wall. He jumped over to it, and grabbed it, before jumping back to the sturdy ground. How I missed doing that! He thought, before readying the arrow in the bow he found in the tunnel. Once Link let off one last Arrow, that Impa dodge Afios let his arrow fly. It struck Impa in the back, and she fell forward, normal, while the demon vanished in the light of the arrow.

"Ungh." Impa groaned, as she sat up, "What happened?"

"You were possessed by a homocidal demon and tried to kill us." Nabooru said, "Thats pretty much it in a nutshell."

"I appologise." Impa said, "Allow me to take us to the castle."

"Wait! The Crystal!" Navi said, "Where is it?"

"There" Impa said, and pointed to a top corner of the room. Link then took aim with a light arrow and shot the Crystal. A golden shpear started at its tip, and spread to protect the entire village. Impa then transported them to the castle, before she collapsed from exaustion.

End Chapter. Again, I'm sorry for the wait and hope I still have some reviewers.
