Hiya!!

The vote for the Zelda villain to appear in this is

Vaati: 2

Omg! Thanks for voting! Be sure to review and vote if you want the Wind Sage or another Zelda bad guy to be in the story. Also, I will welcome suggestions of what he(or she) will do in the story (what he/she wants, how is he/she going to get it, and if he/she is teamed up with the other bad guys etc Zant and Ganon) By the way I'm terribly sorry that I haven't gotten this chapter up as fast; Thanksgiving, school, and my family members hogging the computer doesn't really give you a chance to write.

Anyhoo, now that I got that out of the way, THANKS FOR REVEIWING!!!

We were on the way to Eldin Province when...

"HEYYY!" some guy yelled to us.

I turned, and I swear my jaw dropped to the ground. A dorky looking man decked out in extremely short shorts jogged up to us. "Mr....Link is it?" he turned his gaze to me, and his eyes got all dreamy looking. Oh no. "And you must be the lovely Miss Cassie; it's a pleasure to meet you." He (eeeeewww!) took hold of my hand and kissed my knuckles. I tried not to barf as he grinned at me. Ick, he was at least ten years older than me, the 80s shorts wearing pedophile. He let my hand go and I wiped it on Link's tunic, grimacing. "Go no further! There is a black wall ahead that blocks the way! I thought I would deliver a few letters, but it seems impossible...

I am the honorable and dependable letter carrier, known to some as...the Postman.

Now that I have introduced myself, please! Take this letter and read it at your leisure!" The Postman tipped his head to us and grinned at me. He then high stepped away, all the way grunting something.

I shuddered and shook my hand around to get the feeling of the guy's lips off it. I turned to Link and he was glaring off in the general direction of where the Postman left. "The nerve of some people these days." He shook his head in disbelief.

I shrugged. "I'm scarred for life, anyway. At least we know we're going the right way towards the curtain of twilight." I looked down the road.

I looked back at Link, and he was examining the sleeve I used to wipe the Postman's spit on. He glared at me. "Now my sleeve is all wet."

I rolled my eyes and smiled. "We'd better hurry. Your friends are here for sure."

Link reluctantly abandoned the issue and nodded. We walked up to the twilit wall. Midna floated up, this time out of my shadow, and peered at us. "Do you want to go in the Twilight now?

"Yeah, sure."

Midna went through the curtain and her third hand reached through the wall and grabbed us violently. We landed with a thud in the Twilight Realm, and I gasped as my bones shifted to reveal my red wolf form. I shook my fur and stretched briefly before I followed Link down the road. He stopped suddenly at a broken wooden sword in the path and sniffed it tentatively. His ears perked up, and he raced down the road to Kakariko; except that the bridge was gone. Suddenly, walls fell around us and Shadow Beasts fell from the mysterious portal. Link defeated them all, but after that we realized that the bridge connecting the parallel sides together was missing.

"Great," Midna sighed, "Damn Shadow Beasts took the bridge. We'll just have to go back and get it."

"Um, how are a couple of-" I was cut off as Midna warped us all to Faron Woods.

We landed in front of the missing bridge in Faron Woods, and Midna sighed. "That's definitely it. I'll warp it back."

She floated off of Link's back, and shot a bolt of Twilight magic through the bridge. With a loud grunt, she lifted the plank and it disappeared into pixels. We all warped back to the gorge and I saw that the bridge was now in its proper place. We ran to the other side and dug under the fence that was blocking the village. Then we came up to the spirit Eldin's spring, where he was floating just over the water's edge. "To the hero...who was transformed into a blue-eyed beast...in the realm of shadows...and the girl destined to decide the fate of the land... In twilight......This way......I am...a spirit...of light...Hero...chosen by the gods...and daughter of destiny...Look for...my light... Gather the light stolen by the shadows...into this......The insects of darkness... They are the form taken...by the evil that attached itself...to my scattered light...In this shadowy twilight...the shadow insects are invisible, much as the people from your light world are...With the last of my power...let me mark your map...with the locations...of the tears that have turned into...shadow insects...But...be careful... The darkness...now hunts you..."

Link sighed. "The children are here." I looked at him questioningly. "I can feel it."

We came to an Indian like house and we went through the roof. The first thing I noticed was the amount of people in the room; there were about 6. I turned on my super awesome wolf senses, and listened to the scene unfolding...

"Cripes! I don't see those black brutes anywhere...They've gotta be hidin' somewhere, waiting for their helpless little prey to come out! Then they'll FEAST!" a strange man in a welding mask peeked out the window.

A man who reminded me of an Indian medicine man spoke from across the room. He was surrounded by Colin and the bunch. "We are safe as long as we remain in here, children. Be at ease."

"Oh yeah? I wonder if the monsters out there agree with you...

They sure didn't seem impressed by my bombs! How long do you think we can hold this sanctuary against beasts that strong, huh?

Once they attack, it's OVER!

Remember that lady from the general store? Just one of those things attacked her, and a whole gang from town went to save her!

And what happened? She was already gone, and there were TWO monsters waiting'! You connectin' the dots? That means that if we get attacked by them, then we'll be..."

"BARNES!" the man glared at Barnes. Suddenly, Beth suddenly burst into tears.

"Look, Renado... All I mean to say is that it's risky here, too! Ain't you got some place we can hide?" Barnes mumbled.

"There is...a cellar." Renado said.

"WHAAT? You've got a CELLAR?! Where's the entrance, man?" Barnes dashed up to the rest of the group.

"The entrance to the cellar is designed to open when all of the candles have been lit..." Barnes grabbed a wooden stick and lit it. He then lit one of the candles, but was stopped short by a girl I didn't recognize.

"...I...would not do that.

When Father instructed me to secure the cellar, I saw insects like the beasts outside..." she fluttered her hands for emphasis. With a terrified shriek, Barnes flew back to the window. Meanwhile, Beth was still sobbing.

"Don't cry, Beth! It'll be OK!" Colin tried to comfort Beth. "Link is coming to save us all! I can feel it!" Beth stopped and looked up, red-eyed, at Colin. She smile weakly and nodded.

I could feel Link smiling beside me. "These kids knew you'd come to save them!" Midna giggled. "What a hero! How sad, to be right in front of someone and not be noticed at all... Eee hee hee! You are chosen by the gods," she pointed at Link, "and you have some part to play in all this, and that's only thing that keeps you from turning into a spirit, or worse, into a dark monster, when you enter twilight. And no one knows what you have done... You may be doomed to toil in obscurity forever...You're the type to worry about everything; I can tell...but don't fret over Princess Zelda! She chose this state of affairs, after all...Anyway, what's with having to light candles to get to the basement?! Not very subtle, is it...So, what are you going to do now? My lonely little heroes... Eee hee!" she kicked Link's ribs, and we went on in our quest to restore the light spirit...

While we had gathered all the tears of light, I noticed that the weird people in the mountain seemed to be on edge about something. As the last tear floated into the vessel, we were transported to the spring, and into our human forms. An ethereal hawk, the light spirit Eldin, burst out of the water and peered down at us wisely.

"My name is Eldin am one of the light spirits of Hyrule. I am the spirit that guards this lands.O great hero chosen by the gods, and daughter of destiny...The dark power you seek lies in the sacred grounds of the proud mountain dwellers.

But already those grounds have been defiled, draped in shadow and seeded with evil. You must go to those sacred grounds and cleanse them." He gazed at Renado's house and vanished.

We suddenly heard a joyful shout. "Link?!"

All the children dashed up to us. "Ha ha ha! See, Beth?! I TOLD you Link would save us!" Talo yelled, the little liar. He stopped at the sight of me and his eyebrows furrowed. "Cassie? Did Link save you too?"

I rolled my eyes and saw Renado "You are the one from Ordon whom these children spoke of?" He turned his eyes to me. "I believe I have not heard of you. May I ask what your name is?"

I smiled at him; he seemed like a nice enough person, and he wasn't hitting on me. Thank goodness. "My name is Cassie."

"We are well met. I am Renado, shaman of this town. This is my daughter, Luda. And he is..." he glanced at Barnes, but continued

"The beasts took us and left us to die...but Mr. Renado found us." Colin piped up.

"At first, I couldn't believe they had come from so distant a place as the Ordona Province..."

"Yeah," Colin continued, "I... We don't remember much. All of a sudden everyone was captured, and then...until now...it's been like...

"...A nightmare." Malo muttered

"Yeah! It was like a terrible dream and we couldn't wake up..." Colin said.

Renado nodded solemnly. "Mmm... Nightmares are everywhere these days, it seems. This village has certainly seen its share of recent hardships...The dark beasts attacked, but even worse was the sudden and inexplicable change in the mountain-dwelling Goron tribe. They had long been our friends, but suddenly treated us as foes. Even now they refuse to permit us entry into their mines. It strains the limits of belief... To think that such a gentle and proud tribe could change so suddenly..." He gazed upwards at the flaming mountain before continuing. "It makes me wonder if something in those mines is the cause of this change...In any case, you must take these children and flee this village before more nightmares descend. I, of course, cannot leave my village in such a time. There is no telling what may happen to us here. But it is my job to try to coax the Gorons back from their recent change of heart."

I glanced at Link, and I could see he was going to go up there. He suddenly took off up the mountain, and I next thing I saw was Link getting shoved off the mountain. I had to hold back giggles as he got up slowly and looked at me, shaking his head.

"A weak spirit is no match for the might of the Gorons!Do you understand me, human? Then away with you!" the Goron yelled from the top of the hill. I glared at him and walked over to Link.

"Link, I'm pretty sure people made out of rocks can throw punches." I said sarcastictly.

He rolled his eyes and winced. "Yeah, I'll keep that in mind."

We came out of the mountain, and saw Renado. He looked relieved. "Ah, how fortunate you are in one piece! I saw you heading up the mountain trail, so I was you trying to reach the Gorons of Death Mountain? It is far too dangerous, Link!They recognize only strength! A normal person could never persuade them...But...I do know one person who was able to best them and earn their trust...His name is Bo. You may know him as the mayor of your hometown, , go to him. And while you are there, please let him know that the children are course, getting them back would be best...but we could not keep them safe from the monsters on the road without a horse and cart...Please... Return to Ordon and inform the parents that their children are free from harm. Give them my word. I think it is best for you to return to Ordon and let everyone know that the children are safe. And as for the Gorons...I am sure Bo will be able to tell you how best to win their trust!" Renado bowed slightly and walked away.

We came to the spirit's spring and suddenly I realized something. "How are we going to get through the gates? We're not wolves anymore." I whispered to Link.

He looked confused. "I don't know. If only I had Epona..."

Suddenly, we heard a few frantic whinnies. Epona and a black and white Appaloosa mare galloped into town and bucked off the Bulbins riding them. Link grabbed my hand and yanked me out of the way as the Appaloosa and Epona plowed by. Link took off, and jumped onto Epona's back. After a few minutes, he finally calmed her down. I then stared nervously at the Appaloosa still galloping around the spring frantically.

No way was I going to be able to wrangle a horse twice my size, and live to tell the tale. I shot Link a helpless glance, and he grinned and shook his head.

Guess I'm on my own. I should say now that I have never, ever ridden a horse. Ever. I waited as the mare reared by me, and threw myself on and locked my arms around her bare neck. I had absolutely no idea what the hell I was thinking. "Show her you're the boss. Assert yourself." Link yelled from Epona. He was grinning widely, enjoying the sight. Stupid farm boy.

Suddenly the mare reared, and I took the opportunity to yank on her mane. She stopped suddenly, and calmed down. Well, that was easier than I expected. Link trotted up to me and he looked visibly disappointed. "You didn't even get thrown off." He said sadly.

I scowled. "Why didn't you come and help me?"

"The horse wouldn't obey you if I did it." He said simply. "What are you going to name her?"

I rolled my eyes. " Ill name her... Irine."

Once again I am soo sorry that I haven't gotten this chappie up sooner. I promise it won't take so long to update again. Don't forget to vote and reveiw!!
