Wow it's been really long time since I posted a new chapter... I know I'm not adding as much battle detail with some of the creatures but they are the ones I've described the fights with before so get over it. I'm getting just as tired of describing how to fight a Stalfos as I am defeating them when I play the game. Don't worry the boss fights will be more fun.

Chapter 12: The First of the Poe Sisters

After defeating the two bubbles the way they had before then went through the locked door using one of the keys they had already found. The room they found themselves in was quite different than others they had been in.

"This hallway is twisted!" Rosa exclaimed. Faith was too stunned for her usual retort.

"We'll fix it later but first we need it this way," Link said continuing through the room.

"We can straighten it? Wow this place keeps getting weirder," Faith mused to herself as she followed Link. The next room happened to have a surprise as well.

"There's a treasure chest on the wall!" Rosa exclaimed.

"That explains why we have to straighten the hallway," Faith mused. "But first I take it that doorway holds a surprise or two." Faith said pointing to the door below the treasure chest.

"Yeah now come on!"

"Watch for the shadows of creatures that hang from the ceiling," Navi shouted causing Link to nearly fall off the pillar. Faith caught him by the back off his shirt before he could fall.

"Thanks Faith. Navi, next time make sure I not about to jump." Link steadied himself then jumped again.

The room they entered next had walls covered in moss and vines. "Come on! Ignore the pictures for now we'll come back." Link said running up the stairs.

"What about the torch? It's just like the ones in the first room!" Faith said walking toward Link but still looking over her shoulder.

"We'll come back later. First we have some Stalfos to beat, now come on."

"Oh goodie more Stalfos, how many are there this time?"

---

Waiting for them in a round room with two doors and a whole in the middle of the floor was a single Stalfos.

"I'll let you take this one Link," Faith said trying not to laugh. She had assumed there would be more than just one.

"Don't get too relaxed more will come." Link drew his sword and attacked the first Stalfos. He defeated it with little trouble. "Now get on guard if you dropped it." Link said as a platform dropped from the middle of the ceiling. The platform held two Stalfos.

"A total of three, we have still fought more," Faith yawned.

"Don't get sloppy or I'm not saving you."

"Ah I won't be saved by Mr. Hero," Faith mocked as she dodged an attack by one of the two Stalfos. "Not like I need to be saved hero."

When the two Stalfos were defeated a chest appeared in the middle of the room. Both Link and Faith ran over to it but Link was the first to get to it.

"Oh come on Link, you probably already have one of what ever is in there!" Faith Said As he opened the chest and hiding what was in there from her view.

"I do have one but the question is should you get it or should we leave it?"

"I fight just as good as you I should get some of the treasures we find!"

"Spoken like a true Gerudo," Navi whispered in Link's ear.

Link laughed at the comment because it was true. "You've been around the Gerudo too long. However I will give you this because you can use it better than I can anyway." Link threw the bow to Faith.

"Yes a bow! I needed one of these things!"

"Now all you need is a shield." Rosa mused. Faith swatted at her.

"This next part of the temple will be easier if we split up again," Link said.

"What more blocks?" Faith asked

"No, we have to go after the Poe sisters who stole the fire from the torches."

"Oh great," Faith shuddered. "I hate Poes."

"And without a shield you might be at a slight disadvantage. Then again you could use the bow and arrows to attack rather than a sword."

"So what do I have to do?" Faith asked annoyed.

"You have to go back to the room we just came from. I'm going to go to the room ahead and do the same thing. To get the Poe to appear you'll have to shot the ghost in the frames."

"Then battle the Poe till it drops the flame?" Faith asked.

"Yeah that's exactly what you have to do."

"What are we waiting for?" Faith said rolling her eyes.

"We'll meet here after we finish with the Poes." Link turned toward the door he would be entering. "Be careful Faith."

"Oh now he worries," Faith said sarcastically. She smiled at Link as she walked back through the door they had come.

Seeing as he had done this before Link found the portraits with ease. With the Poe out of the portraits Navi and Link could lock onto it.

"Poe Sister- Beth, we've done this before but last time you weren't careful enough when she spun. So watch out Link," Navi said when they locked on to Beth, the Poe.

"Yeah I know. I learned the first time to use my shield," Link replied as Beth spun. His shield blocked the mini torch in the Poe's hand. When she stopped spinning Link struck with his sword. Beth screamed and vanished leaving the torch and Navi the only markers of where she was. The torch spun and Link blocked again with his shield. Beth appeared and disappeared once more. When she appeared the third time Link struck the final blow causing Beth to scream and the torch to drop. The flame circled and disappeared only to reappear in the torch by the next door. A large chest appeared on the other side of the door. Inside was a compass.

"Come on let's go see how Faith did," Link said running back to the door he had entered from.

---

"Okay two portraits down one last one left. This is too easy," Faith said. "And he was worried I'd get hurt."

"At least he worried! You complained he didn't worry about anything now you're acting just like him!" Rosa shouted in Faith's ear.

"Okay so you're right. Still you can't say it's not easy."

"It's going to end up getting harder now that you've said something!"

"Whatever." Faith pulled back an arrow and aimed at the last portrait. As soon as the arrow hit a Red-Orange Poe popped out of it. It floated down to the bottom level.

"This is Joelle, one of the Poe Sisters!"

"You think?" Faith replied sarcastically. "Let's just shot it with the arrows. Lock on to make this easier."

"Alright!" Rosa shouted.

Faith locked another arrow in place. "Let's do this.

---

When Link and Faith got back to the room of the Stalfos Faith wasn't there yet. "Well it's probably just taking her longer because she's using her arrows and you were right up in Beth's face." Navi said trying to comfort Link.
"You do know all you did is annoy me right?" Link said raising his eyebrow.

"I'm sorry if you're so easy to annoy Mr. Hero!"

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Link yelled at Navi. While arguing neither of them realized Faith and Rosa had entered the room.

"What happened to make you two start arguing?" Faith said putting her bow over her back.

"It doesn't matter!" Link shouted. "Come on let's go!" Link stormed toward the door he had entered from.

Faith and Rosa exchanged glances. "I think we better not say too much," Rosa whispered. Faith nodded and followed Link.

I've heard that people have been getting stories removed because of review responses so I can't do those anymore. Sorry if you really liked them. I did too but I also don't want my story taken down. Well I'll try to get the next chapter up faster than I did this one.
