Lol, we all get a lil' lazy....=P I think it's the um..All Against Mido Association...oh, that's very good, cuz I'm re-playing the game and the Shadow Temple's my least favourite part of it...so I'd need quite a bit o' help..they are??? Really? Hmm, okay. I'll try to get a min of 1000 words each chap.

Wow, Cat of Darkness, you must really hate Barney...:D I'm with you all the way! Hmmmm....that's quite a good idea...(scratches chin) Whoopie Cushions? :D:D:D:D:D

And hopefully it never will...:P

Lol. Yup, I think I forgot about the disclaimer in that chappie...hehehe.....ahem...let's not talk about that, shall we?

Hmm, Phantwo, I have to agree with you. The first chap is actually quite bad. The tenses aren't used very well.....I did tend to make a lot of mistakes there...perhaps I should remake it.

Lol, don't worry, Chris-Haliwell, I intend to. Yes, it is my first. :P

I'm afraid I'm losing my imagination for methods of torture on the disclaimer.

(disclaimer sighs in relief)

That is why I'm appealing to you guys for your help!

(disclaimer runs away)

By the way, Link used the hookshot to get into the temple, it's just not mentioned in this chap.

There were times when Navi was thinking about how lucky they had been, surviving so far into their journey, and wondering-what would happen at the end? After they saved Hyrule, would they just go back to Kokiri Forest?

Link broke the silence. "Navi? Where are we?"

Navi looked around, noting the burning torches, or more like the symbol on them.

"Look, Link."

Link ran his finger over the odd symbol engraved on both torches. It felt warm and bumpy, despite it's appearance.

A bit of dust fell off and uncovered some words.

"What the heck does this mean?"

Navi stared at the shining gold words.

"It looks like the old language," Navi said slowly. "My mother tought it to me when I was a child."

"You were a child before?" Link joked.

"Quiet, Mr. Wise guy," Navi snapped, not meaning to sound so harsh. "I need to think...this language was only used by the chosen ones....you know, the ones who guarded the temples. Only really wise Hylians know this language. This language was never known to Evil Ones, so it was a perfect form of communication for people who didn't want evil to intercept their letters and information."

Link sat down thoughtfully, taking in the info.

"So what does it mean?"

"I'm not really sure...this is really old...I don't even think fairies know this language. In fact, I'm almost certain that this language was concealed for a reason, not even spread to the network of chosen ones. I think that this goes down right to the beginning, when Hyrule was created."

"So what does it mean??" Link repeated.

"Well...there's a word here and there I understand, but it doesn't really make sense. I can make a rough translation, but I don't fully believe that's what it means...."

Navi peered at the letters again, double-checking and frowning.

"Um...the Sage of Forest will protect his or her element without hesitation. For they have chosen to live their life away from evil, from the threat that burns the trees, that kills the life, and they have chosen to forever protect the race they were born to. They will be held to the promise they swore. Because of their sacrifice, they shall be given a medallion to represent their magic and status. Without the medallion, they are powerless. Dokenian, Makinan, Liskno."

Link scratched his head. "Donkey Kong, Mario, Lint?"

"No, dummy, Dokenian, Makinan, and Liskno. That's really old. In fairy language, it means that you are blessed by the goddesses..."

"Boy, that's confusing."

"But I wonder...this symbol...it's so familiar....I remember it now! It's from one of the books....it's the symbol of the forest! It protects it, and the Deku Tree, he used to have it carved on his back."

"No wonder he never let me see his back...well, anyways....what do we now?"

Navi was overwhelmed. All the thinking about the language brought back memories of childhood, about her parents.

"I wonder what happened to them," she mumbled.

"What?"

Navi shook her head, shaking away the sad thoughts. "Nothing...I guess we should just go have a look around. Like Rauru said, we have to find-"

Awoooo.

A Wolfos began trotting towards them, claws raised.

Link stumbled back and fumbled for his sword and shield.

The Deku Shield, however, had shrunk in size in comparison to Link, and was just about as useful as a book.

Link whimpered.

Navi was determined to win, even though she wasn't fighting.

"Go! Get movin'!" she shouted like a coach. "Move! Don't be such a girl!"

Link made a stab with his sword and missed.

The Wolfos lunged at Link, howling.

Link dodged it, backed into the wall, and looked around frantically.

"What are you doing???" Navi hissed.

"This," Link grunted.

Link flexed his fingers, clutched the loose wood on the nearest tree and pulled.

The wood ripped off like hot water melting ice.

Link held it like a makeshift shield.

"C'mon, you nasty little wolf, c'mon!"

Link stuck out his tongue like a five-year old.

"Nah-nah! You can't catch me!"

The Wolfos got on its hind legs and started clawing it's way to Link.

Link ducked and swung his sword from the right, giving the Wolfos a severe wound in the stomach.

The Wolfos growled and slashed at Link, ripping his shield in half.

Link backed off a few paces and held his sword ready, looking pale and sweaty.

The Wolfos howled, and his claws suddenly, started to grow thicker and sharper.

Link looked like he was praying to the goddesses to make it out alive.

Navi watched the battle with desperation, silently cheering Link on.

Finally, the Wolfos started moving so quickly, it looked like a grey blur.

Link was caught off guard and his sword was knocked away, clattering as it spiraled away on the ground.

The Wolfos slashed from the side, giving Link a couple of new scratches.

Link started crying.

"You no fun!" he yelled. "I tell Mommy! And Mommy get mad at you!"

If it wasn't such a serious situation, Navi would've snickered.

The Wolfos whimpered and starting trotting away, his tail tucked between his legs.

Navi was amazed. "How did you do that?"

"Nasty wolf no nice!"

Navi looked in disbelief.

All of a sudden, Link laughed insanely.

"Finally! After years of imprisonment, I am free! Free!!!"

He danced around, singing happily.

"Erm...Link? Are you okay?" Navi asked cautiously.

Link stopped dancing and his eyes narrowed as they focused on Navi.

He started advancing slowly, not answering her question.

Navi started to feel a bit frightened.

"Link, stop. You're scaring me." Navi squeaked.

Link ignored the shivering fairy, bent down, swiped the sword from the ground and continued his way to Navi.

Navi backed off a little, but Link's pounce was farther than she thought.

Link's thumb and index finger held Navi by the wings.

Holding a fairy by the wings is like holding a person by their hair.

Navi couldn't say a thing. She just stared, her mouth gaping.

Link raised his sword with his other hand.

"Navi," Link snarled, "have I ever told you that your constant bickering makes me sick?"

And right then Navi knew that there was no hope for her.
