CHAPTER FOURTEEN: WIND TEMPLE

It was just like Headstone Island; dark clouds and the vulture monsters circling the sky. Link knew what had happened on Headstone also must have happened inside the Wind Temple. The two ships, like before, dropped anchor and used little boats to row to the isle. The birds dive-bombed towards the boats, making it increasingly difficult to reach the island without a scratch.

"Here comes another!" Tetra cried. "Look out, Link!"

Link drew his sword, cutting the bird in half. "Take that!"

Another bird dive-bombed towards Raine. "Heads up!" Genis exclaimed.

Raine took her kendama and popped the vulture's eyes out. It crashed into the ocean. "Never stood a chance!"

"This will take forever," Wilder moaned.

Neither the less, our heroes made it, though it was made clear that the birds were not the only obstacles that stood before them. Darknut soldiers were standing in front of the entrance, preventing anyone entering.

"This will be a piece of cake," Raine said.

"They're tougher than they look," Genis replied. "Proceed with caution."

Link and Wilder unsheathed their swords, Tetra her dagger, Raine her kendama and Genis his rod.

"Enough of this idle lingering," shouted Wilder, "Charge!"

Raine was right. It was going to be a piece of cake. The soldiers that outnumbered our heroes ten to five were defeated in no time flat.

"Let's hurry on," Link said.

"Aw, man, I didn't get to do anything," Raine whined.

The group entered the Wind Temple, where everything was taken over by sand. Lots and lots of sand.

"Why is there so much sand?" Tetra asked.

"The guardian, before yours truly defeated it, was a giant sand monster called molgera," Link replied. "It's probably manifesting itself through the entire temple."

"We must stop it before it takes over the whole temple!" Raine exclaimed.

"There's no time to lose," Wilder replied. "We must make haste!"

Quickly, the heroes jumped down to the lower levels of the cavern until they reached a huge door.

"That's a really big door," Raine observed.

"Really? I think it looks kind of small," Link said sarcastically.

"Are you being sarcastic to me?"

"What does it look like?"

"Grr…I think you think I'm stupid!"

"If the shoe fits…"

"That's it hero! I'm tearing your head off right now!"

"Settle down, you two," Genis said, separating the two. "Save the fighting for the monster inside."

The group quickly entered the room. After jumping down to the sandy base below, the lights dimmed.

"Here we go again," rolled her eyes.

Blue lights lit the room. Guess who was standing in the middle of the room. Everyone's favourite blued hair menace.

"Greetings, and welcome to the Wind Temple," he said, "Or what's left of it."

"Hey! It's the blue haired guy with the cape!" Raine exclaimed.

"His name is Yuan," Wilder replied.

"Yeah, whatever. Anyway, what is he doing here?"

"Preventing you fools from restoring the Master Sword to its former glory," he replied. "What ever happened to the times when evil ruled supreme and little children stayed out of harms way?"

"Time change, people change," Wilder said. "You will never see those good times roll. There is one thing that you should have learned by now, villain. Evil never wins."

Yuan laughed. "That was a nice little speech, governor, but there is one little problem with that. Lord Ganondorf is bring back the times when evil rules supreme; the times when no one will defy him. But today, I'll bring about your deaths!"

The ground started to rumble. "I leave you to your doom," Yuan said, disappearing in a puff of smoke.

"Let's see what we're up against," Link said, awaiting the monster that was to appear. The ground shook wildly. Finally, a huge sand monster appeared, in the colour of green.

"What is that?" Tetra asked.

"Molgera," Link replied. "It probably ate Makar, the wind sage."

"Did you just say, ate?" Raine asked.

"Yeah…why?"

"Link? Is that you?" A voice asked.

"I hear something," Genis said. "It's coming from…inside that beast!"

"Link!" Makar yelled. "Do something! It's like an ocean in here and I can't swim!"

"Hold on, Makar!" Link yelled. "We'll come and get you!"

"I'm drowning, can't swim and now it's dark!"

"What do we do?" Tetra asked. "There's no way we can get him out without hurting him!"

"We'll just do the same thing that we did on Medli," Genis replied.

"And what was that exactly?" Wilder asked.

"Uh…"

"Raine!" Link exclaimed. "Do something!"

"Why are you asking my sister for help?" Genis asked.

"It's because she can summon someone that can help us!"
Everyone starred at Link, not knowing what he was talking about.

"Link, what are you talking about?" Tetra asked.

"Raine has the power to…"

Raine hit Link in the arm.

"Why did you do that for?" Link whispered angrily.

"I don't want the others to know about her…please, don't tell them."

Link had no choice but to keep the secret. "Uh…never mind."

Molgera used a cyclone attack. While the others were figuring out battle plans (and holding on for dear life), Link and Raine went to the other side of the room. Due to all the sand, the others couldn't see them.

Raine started to chant. "Release the shadows!" Shadow was released. She quickly made her way past the cyclone, grabbed Makar and settled him on the ground. One shot from Link's light arrow and it was all over (I know, not much of a battle but I'm not so good with describing battle scenes).

"Yet again, we managed to defeat it," Genis said, "and without lifting a finger…"

"Doesn't it seem strange that Molgera just…died?" Tetra asked.

"It is better not to ask questions," Wilder replied. "The truth will come to us…sooner or later…"

Raine and Link rejoined the group, carrying Makar.

"How is he?" Tetra asked.

"He's okay," Link replied. "It seems he's not injured…"

"Can you let me go?" Makar asked. Link released him and told Makar of the present situation. Makar restored the Master Sword to its former glory.

"Now where do we go?" Raine asked.

"I say we stop by Windfall Island," Link replied. "It's not too far from here."

The clouds dissipated and the group left Gale Island, heading towards Windfall. Just like before, Lord Yuan and Lord Irving were watching from the top of the island.

"The Master Sword has regained its power," Lord Yuan said.

"I know that," Lord Irving replied.

"What do you plan to do about it?"

"………"

"You know what will happen. They'll start hunting us down. One by one…"

"Are you worried that you won't be able to defeat them?"

Yuan smirked. "Not at all. I'm just curious about what will happen when you encounter…you know…"

"…Colette…"

Silence was in the presence of the two. Yuan decided to take his leave. "Which will it be Lloyd? Will you shoot her down or be shot down?" Yuan left for the skies. Lord Irving was too busy thinking to notice.

A grin crept over his face. "You won't be alive much longer to care, anyways."

Now that the Master Sword is back in action, what will the heroes do now? Please R&R.
