So Raine has just freed a girl from a crystal prison. What will happen next? Please read on.

I don't own anything.

CHAPTER FIVE: NEW ADVENTURE

Within the hollow walls of the dark room, there stood Raine Sage and a girl who wore something similar to the grim reaper. She floated around, wore a hood and cloak that was very dark. The girl was recently freed from a crystal prison by Raine.

"Who are you?" Raine asked.

The girl started. "I am…" She stopped. "…I don't remember."

"Are you sure? Or you just don't want to tell me who you are?"

"………" The girl caught a glimpse of the gauntlet Raine was wearing. "That is…"

"What?"

"That is the same gauntlet my master use to wear. I guess you're my new master now."

"What! I just found this thing! I don't even know how…"

"What is your name?"

"Uh…Raine…"

The girl floated over to her. "Greetings and salutations, Master Raine."

"Wait a minute! I can't be your master!"

"And why not, master? You wear the gauntlet the previous master had before you. Therefore, you must be my new master!"

"I can't even take care of a goldfish, let alone a…what are you anyway?"

"A person…just like you."

"Then why are you all…airy and stuff?"

"This is the form I kept in order to recuperate my power. If I unleash my true power now, I would just wither away into nothingness."

"Why are you in that form in the first place?"

"Because someone trapped me inside the glass prison."

"Who put you in that prison?"

"……I can't say…right now…"

"…I still can't take care of you."

"I can take care of myself. Besides, it is my job to protect you."

"I don't need your protection. That's it; I'm going."

"Going where?"

Raine started to the entrance of the room. The doors swung open. "I'm going to rescue my brother." The girl floated towards Raine but the doors slammed shut. On the other side of the door, Raine sighed, relieved to have trapped the spirit inside the room…or did she?

"That was close," Raine said, looking at the door. She spun around to see her new friend in front of her. "Gah!"

"So…can I come?"

"Absolutely not! You'd only get in the way."

"But I'm very useful." The girl floated in and out of the cave walls. "See, I can float through walls. I can be a very good scout."

"No, you will not because you're not coming with me!"

Raine continued to walk but she was constantly badgered with the annoying spirit.

"You don't stand a chance against your enemies," she said.

"Leave me alone!" Raine shouted.

"Why can't you just accept that we're a team now?"

"We are not a team. I go solo."

"Yes, we do."

"What do you mean we?"

"We are now one because you put that gauntlet on. You are a part of me as I am a part of you."

"Well I'll just take it off!" Raine tried to take of the gauntlet but it was stuck to her hand.

"You don't have the power to do that yet."

Raine sighed. "Okay, fine, I give up. You can come along."

"You should have said that in the first place."

Raine and the girl reached the entrance of the cave. "I have to give you a name. What would you like to be called?"

"Anything that suits you, Master Raine."

"……just call me Raine. Let's see, you look like the grim reaper, minus the scythe. You look really dark…how about shadow?"

"That will suffice, mas--I mean, Raine."

Shadow quickly started to disappear into the small crystal in the middle of the gauntlet.

"Where did you go?" Raine asked.

Shadow spoke through the gauntlet. "I need you as much as you need me. As long as we walk together, I will protect you."

Raine looked at the gauntlet. After a while, she got on her boat and by using her Pirate's Charm headed to where Genis was located. A few minutes later, Lord Irving flew to the island, and saw that the door with the seal was open. He rushed to the room where the girl was and saw broken crystal pieces on the floor. He sighed and said to himself, "Colette. Someone was here and they took you away…"

Meanwhile, the sword that kept Ganondorf in stone finally reached the island of Outset, where a boy who wore green clothing picked it up in his red boat shaped like a lion. The boy headed over to the shore of the island and got off.

"This is not good," he said to himself.

A little girl wearing a blue dress with flowers and pigtails walked up. "What is it big brother Link?"

"Aryll, something terrible has happened."

"What happened, big brother?"

"Remember when I said that I sealed away an evil king at the bottom of the ocean?"

"Yep! You were bragging so much that grandma put something in your soup to put you to sleep!"

"Well…"

"And you bragged so much to the Ritos that they used their own feathers as earplugs?"

"I…uh…"

"And you bragged so much to the Koroks that they told you that they had stuff to do, flew away and left you all alone?"

"Hmm…"

"And there was…"

"That's enough, Aryll!" Link shouted. He held the sword up high. "Anyway, this sword was used to seal the evil king away and now the sword is here."

"So if the sword is here then that means…oh, we are in big trouble."

"Ganondorf's back. And the sword has lost its shine."

"What does that mean?"

"The sages of wind and earth are supposed to be offering their prayers to the gods so this sword would continue to repel evil. But since this sword isn't shinning anymore, it means that the sages are not doing their jobs."

"Maybe they got lazy."

"Or maybe something bad happened to them."

Immediately after saying this, Link's boat came to life and started to speak. "This is true. We are in all in danger."

"Link, the boat is speaking!" Aryll said in surprise.

"The King of Red Lions," Link said. "Your majesty, you're…alive?"

"That is correct. I have returned to this world to help stop the evil from spreading throughout the Great Sea."

"So you know?"

"Yes. Ganondorf has indeed returned and is stronger than ever before. But now, he has created beings that we have never seen before."

"Rumors of a called Greenvale being under attack by a darknut general are true. I was going to head out tomorrow."

"It seems more than your common enemy. He has created angelic beings to serve him."

"What are angelic beings?

"You will find out soon enough."

"Where were you all this time anyway?"

"Limbo."

Odd silence filled the air.

"I'm coming with you, big brother!" Aryll exclaimed.

"No, Aryll, it's too dangerous. I can't let you come."

"Why not?"

"Because."

"Why because?"

"Because I said so, that's why!"

"Aww…Link, you're no fun."

Link turned to his boat and asked, "Your majesty, where are we heading?"

"We set our sights south, to the uncharted seas."

"Great…just great…"

In the morning, after saying goodbye to almost everyone on the island, Link and his trusty…uh boat set their sights to the uncharted seas and to new adventure.

So, what will happen in the uncharted seas? Please R&R.
