"Link, get up now!" The sun was scorching through the windowed roof. The fairy was sitting on Link's chest, jumping up and down screaming at the top of her lungs.
"Shut it up hun. Gods almighty make this creature stop screaming at me." He sat up, still, and ran his fingers through his hair. He noticed an unfamiliar calmness. He wasn't too fond of this quiet and looked up at the ceiling. The sun was starting to be covered by the most familiar clouds. The he knew what it was. It wasn't clouds, it was the fog. The deadly mist that followed him here.
Link put on all of his armor and gathered his weapons. He left Epona inside of the stable. Stria was downstairs looking at the gloom outside.
"Link, it's here now, what are we going to do? Link, I'm worried for your safety." She looked up at him with a tear struck face. He held her head in both hands and smiled at her.
"I will be okay, stop this child like behavior. I wont get hurt." He kissed her lightly and smiled. He ran out of the door, the creatures were edging near. He called out to Stria not to come outside ever, keep everyone in. The Inn is the only armor they could use, it's hard for them to tear down buildings, only Lord DraKon can do that, like it did to the castle.
Link took out a light arrow, and this usually killed the mist. He sent about 5 through the air. The mist backed up but it was too late for it. Half of the mist died, with the loudest screech. Link sent 10 more arrows, consecutively one after the other. He realized how easy it was to defeat this mist and smiled to himself. The mist was all dead almost and he just kept shooting. He was running low on arrows, but it was okay.
He took out his ocarina and started playing Epona's song and she ran out to him. He clambered up onto her, looking back at Stria as she peered out the window at him. She smiled lightly and placed a hand on the window. He blew her a kiss and stared off shooting his light arrows at the darkness. A few clouds of it ran off into a cave, where the darkness prevailed and he knew it. He needed more light ,and from his last journey to Freeborge they gave him a light, one that would protect him against things that are deep and dark and dwell within the night. He never had a use for it until then and he took it out, shaking the little vile which sent out a huge beam of light.
The monsters sent out a giant howl which echoed through the tunnel. The darkness quickly followed Link as the beams of light left Link. The darkness was alive and Link hated this type of Evil, there was so much, and unless he could get to the Lord of it all, he would never be able to defeat it. He trudged on leading Epona who was being as skiddish as he was.
The walls were getting closer together, if they were moving Link didn't know what he would do. He would either be crushed or he would loose Epona, and that was his only choice. He whispered good bye to Epona, kissed her and sent her back out of the tunnel. He strapped a light arrow onto her and she left. The only thing that this darkness was scared of was the magical light, not the actual sun's light.
Link prayed to the gods to make the end of this journey safe. He had to end this war now. The silence was extremely deadly, and he knew he wouldn't survive unless he was extremely cautious. He could finally hear the hissing noises of the Lord ahead. He knew that he needed to sneak up on this evil being and shoot him straight through the heart with a light arrow, then cut its head off with his master sword.
Link took a deep breath and slowly slid against the tiny opening that he had left. He then reached the chamber that the Dark One was in. It was asleep, a mass of black and orange, it smelt of decimating flesh and burned wood. Link could hardly bare it. The sight was too much, and he vomited. He didn't spit it out, but swallowed it again, almost choking him. He felt totally disgusted.
He took the vile of light and hid it in his tunic, bringing out the light arrow. He pulled it back hiding the lighted end in his tunic until he was standing over the creature, and finally, took out the arrow, awaking the beat, and stabbed it straight into the chest. He then pulled out his master sword, and cut off the head of the beast.
The creatures of the night howled and shrieked as loud as they cool, and the darkness was released in the room. Light trickled through the opening of the tunnel, and link knew it was over. He couldn't believe that it was this simple. He knew there should be something else wrong that would be facing him next, but there wasn't. He hardly had to fight. The rubble of the castle was there when he arrived because the dark fog had already consumed it, and now, everything will be alright.
Link stepped out of the tunnel, Epona was grazing nest to it, and the light arrow was burning bright. Epona looked up at him and let out a neigh and kept grazing. Link sat down next to her, pulling up some of the grass and twirled it between his fingers. He let out a grave sigh and laid down on the grass. Something isn't right here. I don't know what it is, this quest can't be that easy, I don't know why it would be so easy. To kill a beast like that, I could have done it with my eyes closed..
He became extremely drowsy lying there like that, and slowly drifted off into a melancholy sleep. The next thing he knew was that he had a massive head ache and he couldn't move his arms or legs. He wasn't even tied up. He cursed himself and though of how foolish he was to be lying there like that in front of that tunnel.
He was able to look around with out moving his head too much, and he made out a figure. A very womanly figure at that. She was wearing a dark blood red dress of velvet and a nice amount of silver and jewels. She was rummaging through Link's belongings and had put on his sword. He started trying to flex his fingers a tad bit and wiggle his toes. Finally he could move around limb by limb, leg by leg, and he was finally un-paralyzed. He slowly got up, not to get her to notice him and took a dagger from the bed and grabbed her head back by the hair threatening to cut her throat.
"Who in the hell are you? What are you doing with my things, i will kill you if you are not honest. I can tell."
"Don't hurt me sir. My name is Ezmerelda. I saw you lying there asleep, you were playing with the wrong type of grass my son. It's called Fatigued Sleeping Grass, it's good for potions. You were just too stupid to realize what it was, you and your horse fell asleep, and the special effect it had on you was to paralyze you as you woke, your horse is just fine though, she is asleep in the pasture." She had a strong foreign accent. People of the country had this accent and he guessed he was close to the tunnel in the mountain he was just in before.
"Why are you wearing my sword? You stealing from me?" He took off the sword from around her waist, not really caring to get a good glance at her face as she was trying to look at his.
"Well, a girl's gotta live and eat you know? I can't get a job anywhere or anything so I steal. You were my perfect opportune. I usually sell Poe and potions but that only brings in okay money when people really need it, other than that, voila. I'm here and stealing my way through life. You have many valuables." She gave him a dirty smile that he couldn't see.
He swung her around to look at her. She was about 20-25, dark red straight hair, dark brown eyes, and tan skin. She was one of the most awkward people he had ever seen. "What clan are you from?"
"Well, you know, I was also from Hyrule. Well near it. I'm a Gerudo. You remember us don't you Link? Hero of Time?" She hissed at Link, and spat in his face. "You've been gone a long time Link!" She laughed evilly in his face. Link was never known to hit women, for he though it was wrong, but she was asking for it.
"Shut up. You girls were the worst, always sending people looks, being nasty, you're all the same, stupid women." He said angrily at her. Her eyes burned red now, they changed.
"You dick." She slapped him. Link slapped her back, feeling awfully sorry about it because he hated that. His blow knocked her out completely. He sighed and put her in the small bed. He gathered everything, checked all the drawers of her's to make sure she didn't hide anything. He found his rupees stashed in a closet, and his ocarina. With relief that he had everything, he tip toed outside of the room.
He didn't remember that Gerudo woman at all, but he didn't really care. He had bad luck with the Gerudo. He knew their princess, she was beautiful, but he refused to marry her and she cursed him. He had to go to one of the witch doctors in Freeborge. That was a tormented evil lace, but link returned to be a hero. They took off the curse that was making him turn extremely old every day. Every day he gained a year, he almost died. The reaction of the people there was tremendous, because he was so old and wrinkled, and then the witch doctor took away the curse and instantly he was redeemed to normalness. He hated Gerudo's after that.
He looked around at his surroundings. Epona was asleep in a pasture behind the little house that he was just in. He saddled her, startling her and he got knocked over for it. He messed up his hair and jumped back on Epona, and they rode back off into the Inn. Stria was still sitting there at the window waiting for him. Her face was tear stricken and she ran to him.
"I thought you were dead! I was going to stay here all night if I had to, to make sure you would come back to my side!" She caressed his face with her soft hands, she seemed so tiny compared to the masculine Link.
"I'm back baby, I'm back." He hugged her and spun her around in a little circle, plopping her back down on the floor.
"Is the evil gone? Are we safe now Link? Is everything going to be okay?" She looked up at him with bright eyes.
"Yes love, but right now I need to take a piss and take a nap." He laughed to himself at how boyish he was and trampled up stairs.
He barged into his room and took off his tunic, went to the W.C. and came back into his room and fell down on his bed, instantly falling asleep.
please R&R everyone! We all know the Zelda game does not belong to me!
