Chapter 3:Upgrading and the Second Encounter

The wanderer awoke at the temple.He still felt pain from the battle."That hurt", he muttered.

"So you are awake?", Dormin's voice boomed,"You need a better sword!I have heard of one in a cave around here!"The wanderer whistled for Argo and took off.He rode for a while before he found the cave.He went in and saw the sword was shining brightly in the dark cave.

"So you found the sword?", said a voice in his head.

"Where are you?", the wanderer yelled.He grabbed the sword and twirled around.There was a man in a black coat and pants.

"It does not matter...All that does is, you cannot win against this foe", he said,"You need a plan!"The wanderer charged at him, but he disappeared."I can help."He twirled around and slashed, but the man moved again."Is that a no?"

"Fine, how do I win?", he finally said.The man appeared behind him and took his arrows."Hey!", the wanderer yelled.The man appeared in front of him.He made the arrows surge with arrows.

"Five are Light Arrows", he said,"Shoot them to the sky to open the clouds.Once you find Ultima, shoot one at his face, chest, and wings."The wanderer took his arrows and started to leave."Shoot its wings with fire arrows to burn them off and stab the top of its head."The wanderer took off with this info.He shot an arrow up and the clouds left.He pointed the sword up and saw it was to the north.Argo galloped hard.They made it there in 10-20 minutes to get there and he saw the giant mass ahead.

"Come to me!", Ultima yelled.The wanderer pulled out a Light Arrow and shot at its head.The beast opened its mouth and swallowed the arrow."Hah!", it yelled,"Is that it?"

"Never believe strangers when doing something this critical", a voice from behind came. The wanderer turned around and saw the old man who was supposedly helping him.The wanderer slashed at him, but missed.The man was now on Ultima.He sinks into Ultima as it laughs.

"So you believed the subordinate?", it yelled.The wanderer charges at it and the Colossus flew up.It ran off to the south leaving the wanderer with these words."Ask Dormin if you so desire to win!"
