Chapter 12
The Pendent of Power
"Well you're strong, I'll give you that. This is the first time anyone has defeated any of my pets, never mind my strongest one." complemented Lord of Dragons. "So as I promised I will now face you."
"Alright then bring it on!" Link taunted. So the mysterious man
jumped into the pit and began to chant some kind of spell. Suddenly two fireballs appeared in his hands and he tossed them at Link. He ran, but when they hit the floor they exploded. The blast sent Link flying toward L.O.D. (Lord of the Dragons). He picked Link up off the floor and then blasted him into the wall.
"I told you that I'd win, and now I'll prove it," he said as he advanced toward the unconscious Link.
"LINK! WAKE UP!" Zelda screamed. Slowly he began to regain consciousness. He waited until L.O.D came closer then swung his mighty sword.
The blade penetrated L.O.D's armor and stabbed him in the stomach.
"Ahh! You will pay for that!" he said. He threw a couple more fireballs at the roof, which collapsed a little bit letting in some sun.
With that he began chanting another spell. Then he put his hands together and slowly separated them. A bright sphere began forming between his hands. He kept making it bigger until it was at least 10 feet in diameter.
"Now feel my wrath as I defeat you with the power of the sun itself!" he shouted. Link stabbed him in the right shoulder, then in the stomach again, but he still kept absorbing the energy. Finally L.O.D released the ball and it exploded throwing Link, L.O.D, and Zelda to the floor.
"What have you done!" asked Link
"I've unleashed the sun itself!" Laughed L.O.D Zelda knew she had to get out so she hid behind a small crevice in the cave. Link and L.O.D were not that lucky. The two of them were caught in the middle.
"AHH! The heat!" they both screamed. Finally the light and heat died down and Zelda looked to see what happened. She saw Link he was burned, he was smoldering but still standing. Then she saw L.O.D laying burned on the floor. Link slowly walked toward L.O.D and was about to finish him when he heard a faint voice.
"Please…let me…live. I'll… give you…the keys…to the room…with the…Triforce." he said weakly.
"OK, but if it's a trap I'm coming back." Link warned. So he took the strange key and he and Zelda went to the room. When Link opened the door he found the Pendent of Power and realized that his vision had come true.
Once again he found inscriptions, both in modern and ancient language. The one surrounding the pendent read "This is the Pendent Of Wisdom, the final piece of the sacred Triforce." The ones on the pendent itself read in the ancient language that he couldn't read.
As Link reached for it more visions passed before his eyes. The first was of Link's town almost completely destroyed. Another was of Hyrule's royal castle emitting a thick black cloud. Then Link saw himself in front of the ruined Temple of Time. The last he was being transported to the Golden World. He began to feel his burns be healed.
Link regained consciousness with Zelda kneeling by him in tears.
"What's wrong?" asked Link.
"I almost saw you die in that explosion, this journey is taking its toll on you. I'm just relieved that you're OK for now, but worried about the future." she explained.
"Don't worry, if this vision comes true I'll be fine. Guess what else, we're going home now." Link said.
"Well what a touching story, unfortunately you aren't going home!" said a sinister voice. It was L.O.D standing at the entrance to the room. Before Link could say anything he built one last huge fireball and was about to throw it. Zelda foresaw this and drew her bow, she fired it as hard as she could at L.O.D. It hit him sending him falling backwards. As he fell he threw the fireball, but it hit the cave ceiling.
The whole mountain then began to collapse. Link and Zelda ran for the door and were warped to the entrance of the castle. Once outside they watched as the mountain crumbled to the ground.
