Chapter Seven: The Challenge Rooms
"No way!" Impa whispered with wide eyes.
Link could hardly believe it himself. In front of him was a bridge made completely from lava. It had hardened into bright red stone. Upon touching it, Link found out that it had cooled down completely.
"Is it safe?" Darunia asked nervously.
Impa picked up a stick and threw it at the bridge. It lay still for a moment, then fizzled and exploded. Darunia shrieked, Impa stared ahead calmly, and Link frowned.
"How was it that I could touch it without burning my finger?" Link questioned.
Darunia shrugged and Impa remained staring. After hearing a russle behind them, Link spun around, Master Sword in hand. Alyssa stood there, sneering.
"Well well well. Look who I happened to find," she cackled.
"Who told you? Who told you where we were!" Link whispered threateningly.
Alyssa stared ahead innocently, saying nobody told her anything. She took a step forwards. Instantly she was thrown backwards. She looked around wildly, but found nobody. She got up again and was pitched into the lava. She stopped falling a second before she was fried. That was when Link noticed Impa, crackly black magic forming around her hands.
"Well, Alyssa. Looks like you're under our feet now," Link sneered, "Any last words?"
Alyssa stared at them, on solid ground once again, "How dare you use black magic on me! How dare you! And before you kill me, just know that Zelda will perish, along with you and all the pathetic sages!"
As she fell into the lava, Link felt sick. He saw something on her face. A birthmark underneath her left eye. Something that Alyssa never had before.
Oh no! Link thought angrily, she tricked us into killing another innocent again! She's sick, just sick.
Without realising what he was doing, he ran across the deathly bridge and into Ganon's Castle. And screamed when he got inside. The central tower was surrounder once again by a barrier, but a different one this time. It had ice crystals surrounding it, rising up to the top. Along the outside were the usual five doors, but without the medallions on top.
"Link! Link where are you!" He heard Impa call.
He didn't answer. He just stood there, transixed. Impa and Darunia came running in beside him. He heard them gasp as they saw the mass of ice in front of them.
"Look," Darunia pointed, "There's a door with ice crystal's above it. Perhaps we have to go in there."
Impa and Link shrugged and went through the door. Link felt himself falling. Falling through what felt like an ice berg. He opened his mouth to scream, but no sound came out. Finally, after what felt like hours, he fell into an icy lake, gasping as the icy water rolled over him. A second later, he was on hard, dry ground.
"Impa? Darunia? Anyone?" He called out.
He looked around. Above him was all ice blue, like a very light sky. Looking closely, he saw a thick layer of water hanging the sky. He was in Kokiri Forest, but something was wrong. The land was covered in snow and freezing winds. It never snowed in Kokiri Forest. It also appeared to be deserted.
"Hello? HELLO!" Link cried, "Answer me! HELLO!"
And then he heard it. A very faint hello. And it was coming from the Deku Tree. He ran towards it. It looked like a giant ice berg, with all that snow.
"Hello? Who's there?" He called quietly.
A girl walked out of the Deku Tree's open mouth. She lookek oddly angelic, framed in the icy doorway of the Deku Tree. She was definetely not Kokiri, that was for sure.
Probably Hylian, he thought, yep, definetely Hylian.
She wore a frosty blue tunic over black jeans. Her tunic was decorated with a swirly off-white design along the top and bottom. A pure white snake was in the middle. It's head was pointed upwards, towards her face. It curved into a loop and it's tail was downwards. Her straight, medium-coloured brown hair was cut to below her shoulders, but above her elbows.
"I'm Violet, Princess of Nyrule," she informed him, "And you are?"
"Link. And, umm, where the heck am I? And why are you here?" He asked.
"You're in the ice challenge room. I was captured by a man named Stanondorf and locked in Stanon's Tower. I found a room that led me here and I've been stuck here for about three hours." She replied calmly.
Ok, this is too weird, Link thought, first Nyrule and now Stanondorf. I wouldn't be surprised if her heroes name is Bink or something.
As she spoke, Link noticed something on her hand. It was three circles that together formed a triangle. One of hers glowed golden.
"What's that on your hand?" Link asked.
"It's the Force of the Circle, or the Tricircle. I've got the power of courage inside me." She answered.
Link practically fainted. After he got over the shock, he asked her how to get out.
She smiled at him, "If I knew, do you think I would still be here?"
Impa
Impa fell on the ground after experiencing the same cold that Link had felt while falling. Looking around, she noticed she was in Kakikiro Village. It was snowing like mad and definetely deserted. The beautiful little village seemed hollow and empty.
"Link? Darunia? Anyone?" She called, panic spilling out of her voice.
She walked into her home and sat down on the bed, which had frozen into a a solid mass of ice. Shivering, she glanced at her many bookshelves, trying to figure out what to do. But of all the magical books she had, none mentioned things like this.
Darunia
Darunia gasped in surprise as he fell through the icy feeling and into Goron City. It was completely frozen. The top of Death Mountain was spewing ice, as thought it had frozen in the middle of an eruption.
"Impa? Link? Anyone?" He called out, worried.
No answer. He tried again, louder this time. Still no reply. He shivered, looking around the frozen wasteland. The only thing not frozen was the Goron's Ruby, glowing in the middle of the huge stone slab thingy. Darunia looked at it and sighed, wondering how to get out of the frozen rock pile.

"Why is she Hylian if she's from Nyrule" "Ewww, you're sooo unoriginal with Nyrule and Stanondorf". You'll find out everything in later chapters, and Violet 's land is supposed to mirror Hyrule. Sooooo, ya, thank you for reading and reviewing, so on son on, wait for next, around Christmas Eve, and bye.
