A/N: Hey guys! Wow new reviewers! Thank you so much for your input guys, it makes me sooooo happy to know that you guys like it. I've been thinking, since this story will be done soon… like in four or so more chapters, should I do a sequel? That's probably what I'll do, but I want to know if you want to see one done too. Again thank you so much for the reviews, please review this chapter also. Sorry for any grammar and spelling mistakes, I'm not to good at proofing my own work as you could probably tell from earlier chapters.

Disclaimer: …this is what the fifteenth time? Whatever I don't own nothing that Nintendo owns.

Chapter 15: Dark Forest Rock, Ganondorf's Tower and The Spy

" You summoned me Master?" The blonde haired spy knelt in front of the large, red thrown.

" I want you to give the Hero of Time and his little girlfriend a…warm welcome when they arrive."

" As you wish." The spy stood up and turned to leave.

" In person." Ganon added with a light laugh. The spy turned to say something but thought against it. They didn't want to upset Ganon so the spy simply nodded and left. " This should prove amusing."

Kaian laid on the ground sifting the grey sand through her fingers. They were about three quarters into the Forbidden valley and Ganon's dark tower could be seen in the distance. The Forbidden Valley was a dark, cold place. Despite the fact that it was in the desert, no sun reached the lands. The skies were always a dark grey day or night, and the ground was also grey, only a lighter shade. The trees were a brown-black and bared no leaves, but the bare branches were perfect perches for the staved crows and vultures that watched the visitors intently. The bared ground had little life. A few dead bushes were scattered through the land and large rocks appeared every so often. Pools of dark water were also visible, but the group dared not to drink from them.

Link sat on a rock near where Kaian was lying with his arms fold across his chest. " What is taking Mara so long? Was she not the one who was in a hurry to get here?"

Kaian lazily turned her head towards the dark forest that blocked their path towards Ganondorf's Tower. " She said she didn't feel to well, I'm sure she'll be back soon."

" She's been gone for an hour now Kai!"

Kaian let out an annoyed breath and slowly got to her feet. " I'll go-"

" You don't have to I'm right here." Mara stepped out of the forest slightly and smiled.

" What? Did you go kick Ganon's ass without us?" Kaian asked as she walked towards Mara, Link closely behind her.

" No. I didn't feel to well, still don't actually. I think the air around here is getting to me."

" Yeah, it is kind of heavy isn't it?" Kaian agreed.

" It took an hour for you to throw up?" Link asked, putting his arms around Kaian waist.

" Well sorry for wasting your precious time Link. You could of left without me you know." Mara crossed her arms over her cross.

" Ah, Blondie we wouldn't leave you!" Kaian got out of Link's grasp and threw her arms around Mara.

Mara hugged her back. " Come on lets go before I decide to get sick again."

" Ya, ok."

The three walked through the condensed forest. No light made it into the forest so moving around was difficult. Nevertheless they continued to trek on, occasionally laughing at Kaian when she tripped over a root, but other then that, no conversation was pasted between them.

They entered the heart of the dark forest. There was a large rock marked with symbols in the middle of the circular clearing surrounded by Redeads. They seemed to be guarding the rock or at least waiting for something. Mara grabbed Kaian's arm and squeeze it tightly. " Kai." She whispered.

" I know. Link you take her, I'll deal with these bastards."

Link gently pried Mara off Kaian arms and held her. He laughed. " What happened to the fearless Mara we know?"

" She's on vacation." She murmured in his chest as she clung to him tightly to him.

" Can you handle this by yourself Kai?" Link asked looking up at her.

" Oh yeah. I won't even have to get near them." She stated calmly as she put her hands in front of her. The black streak in her hair began to glow red as a wind built up around her. Her eyes quickly scanned the rock calculating about how many there were. ' 20'. She mentally counted. Taking in a deep breath she searched her brain for the right word. If her forest bead had a second power, then so did the fire bead. Finally her mind found what it was searching for. She laughed a little as bent down and pounded her fists into the ground, making the surrounding earth tremor. She laughed more as the wind grew stronger each second.

Mara loosened her grip on Link so she could see what was going on. Sand blew in their faces as they watched Kaian slowly stand up and put her hand in front of her once again.

The wind now reached top speeds earning the attention of the Redeads, however it was too late. " Burn motherfuckers!" Kaian laughed as the release came to her mouth. " Flare Spiral!" The wind formed a fire cyclone and quickly tore off in the direction of the Redeads. It devoured each one of them leaving nothing but their ashes. " Oh yeah who rocks!"

Mara let go of Link and ran to Kaian's side. " Oh my gosh, that rocked!"

" I know." Kaian laughed as she grabbed Mara hands and spun her around.

" Girls. As much as it pains me to interrupt your little party, we have company."

The two girls quickly stopped they're giddiness and looked at where the Redeads once were. Sure enough Link was right. Two Lava Dragons, five Lizalfos, Three Skultula, a Floor Master and a Like Like appeared in the place of the Redead.

" Holy shit." Kaian said bewildered.

" Oh…my…gosh." Mara said agreeing.

" Well let's go girls. We don't have all day and I don't think these guys are going to wait around for us." Link explained as he step in between them and pointed at the Lizalfos walking towards them.

" Ah! What is with damn Lizalfos! Everywhere I freaking go they're there!" Kaian growled in frustration. "I'll take care of these bitches and you guys get the other ones." Kaian unsheathed her sword and got into a fighting stance.

Mara got her bow and arrows ready and Link readied his sword, knowing there was no point of arguing with her. " Be careful Kai." They charged at the remaining enemies, flying past the Lizalfos.

As the Lizalfos were turning to chase them, Kaian called out. " Hey idiots with the ugly faces, I'm your challenge."

Mara and Link stopped ten feet away from the monsters. " So how shall we handle them Link?"

Link quickly analyzed their situation. " Alright, you take care of the three Skultula with you're arrows and one of the Lava dragons, I'll get the rest."

" You sure? Floor masters can be little bastards."

Link raised an eyebrow. " 'Bastards?' I think you've been around Kai too long."

Mara shrugged. " That's part of the reason." Twirling one of her arrows like a baton, she looked at Link. " You ready?" Link nodded and decided to go after the Floor master first. Mara drew in a deep breath and aimed her arrow at the first Skultula. Her hand slightly shook as she stared at her target. Taking another deep breath, she released the arrow and watched as it pierced the Skultula sending into a puff of green smoke. The blond then aimed two more arrows at the remaining Skultula her blue-brown eyes keeping a close watch on the other monsters. Finally killing the other Skultula on the large rock she turned her attention to and Lava dragon that was slowly heading towards her. Mara bit her lip. ' How am I supposed the kill it with just arrows?'

Link stabbed at the last little hand and watched as it disappeared. " One down, two to go." He looked to his right to see the Like Like slowly wiggling it's way towards him. He sighed as he remembered how easy they were defeated. Link crouched down the lit one of his bombs. When the Like Like came into arms length, he threw the bomb into its mouth and simply walked away. A small smile appeared on his lips as her heard the explosion and the Like Like's high pitch death squeal.

Kaian quickly found herself in the same situation she was in, in Karkariko village. Three of the five Lizalfos were in her line on sight while the other two disappeared to her left. Wanting to end this quickly, she turn her back completely to the missing two and attacked the other three. She hacked off two of their heads and spun around slicing the other one in half. She raised her sword above her head in a defence like placement as the Lizalfos' swords came crashing down. " Nice try." Kaian pushed them back and with one smooth motion, cut them both in half. " Time to check out that stone."

Mara jumped to her right as the dragon charged at her blindly. Thinking of no other weapon in her current reach, she got behind the dragon and stomped on its tail, hard. The Lava dragon yelped as it flew forward bumping into the other Lava dragon. Thinking it was an enemy, it bit down on the others tail. Now both Lava dragons were damaged. They ran around stupidly until they self-destructed. " Wow, that was really easy." Mara laughed.

" No kidding." Link agreed. " Come on." The two walked over to the large stone, Kaian was already there.

Kaian ran her fingers over the symbols mesmerized. " These are notes right?" She asked as the other two approached her.

" Looks like it." Mara replied. She looked over her shoulder. " They're worn though. Hardly readable."

" Come on, we need to get to the castle before nightfall. We need to light to see through the forest." Link stated impatiently.

" Wait, I think I can read it." Kaian pulled out her mothers flute. She ran her fingers over the keys, and then placed it to her mouth. The notes were written in four, four time and were spaced, indicating the notes were to be played slowly. Kaian did just that. Rich notes poured from the instrument as the notes were played. The tune was sad, and full of regret it seemed. The grey-eyed girl slowly realised that it was the same tune her mother used to play was she was sick. She also remembered that it was her father's favourite song. The memories flooding back to her also brought back the memories of death. Kaian had witnessed both of her parents' death. She had tried hard to suppress the memories but playing the song just brought them all back. How her father was shot multiple times by that burglar because he was protecting her, and how she watched her mother slowly die because of an unexplained sickness.

She finally played the last note and lowered the flute. Link and Mara looked at her dumbfounded. Kaian placed the flute back in the sheath and sighed. " That was so depressing. Stupid past."

" Do you want to talk about it?" Link asked carefully.

" Not really." Kaian took in a shaky breath. " Come on lets-" The ground began to shake violently and the three were tossed to the ground. " What the hell?" Kaian cried as she tried to stand up but failed.

" The forest is parting!"

The forestry in the way of Ganon's tower behind to moved to the side, making a clear path towards it. The rock that contained the song was glowing so intensely that all three had to shade their eyes. When to light died, the three looked towards the newly made path. Standing there were each of their horses, saddle and ready.

" Lucky break." Mara commented as she gently petted he horse.

" And you wanted to just leave." Kaian said poking Link in the ribs.

" Shut up." Link sneered as he mounted Epona.

" Shut up?" Kaian mimicked. " Since when do you say shut up?"

Link sighed in frustration. " It's from being around both you and Mara."

" Ah, Linky boy, you love us." Kaian laughed as she mounted Eclipse. " Lets go."

" One step ahead of you!" Mara called. She was ten feet away from them.

" Lets go." They took off down the path after Mara.

They arrived at the tower in less then an hour. It was dark. No sun, no moon, no stars. The only light there came from the slowly lowering bridge of the giant tower. " Looks like we're being welcomed." Kaian stated getting off her horse. The mare snorted in protest, sensing the evil radiating for the structure. Kaian kissed her on the nose. " I'll be fine don't worry."

" Come on. Let's go!" Mara ran to the entrance. As she stepped onto the drawbridge, a creature, much to the likeness of Volvagia, appeared in the ebony sky. It swooped down and grabbed Mara roughly with its talons. Mara tried desperately to release herself but the grip was too strong. " Kai! Link! Help me!"

" Mara! Hang on!" Kaian called as she armed her bow with three arrows and aimed. Link too armed his bow and his basic magic skills from his previous adventures the line the arrows with fire.

" Ready Kai?"

" Damn straight." They released the arrows and hit the dragon in the stomach. It cried out in pain, but it didn't release Mara. It continued to fly upward until it perched at the very top. Out of reached to the onlookers on the ground. " Fuck!" Kaian cried frustrated. " We really suck."

" Mara is the stronger archer…" Link said grabbing Kaian's hand. " Come on we need to get to her fast, and the only way up is in."

Nodding, she pushed her crimson hair from her face she walked forward confidently with Link at he side.

" You stupid, pathetic creature! This is not the girl I wanted. Does this girl have red hair like I told you? Useless matter! Get out of my sight."

The dragon took off in fear from the balcony into the sky, disappearing into the dark clouds.

" A little harsh." Mara uttered under her breath.

" Shut up girl." Ganon hissed as he walked towards her. " Where is she?"

" Who?"

Ganon grabbed her shoulders. " Don't play stupid girl! The girl who travelled with the Hero of Time!"

" Oh Kaian? I'd imagine she'd be on her way to kick your ass!"

" You disrespectful mortal!" Ganon struck her hard across the face knocking her to the ground. " Guards! Put her with the princess, I don't have time to deal with her."

" Understood." The Guard picked up Mara and dragged her out of the room. Ganon sat on his thrown.

" So the final battle is sooner then I expected, don't mess up, my spy."

The two entered a room with five bronze doors, and one large gold and red door. " I take he's in that door?"

" Most likely but its locked." Link observed. As they took a step forward, the large, circular carpet on the floor opened up, slowly raising a platform with many monsters and a figured dress in pale dark colours. " No. It can't be."

" Can't be what? Link? What can't be?"

" Hero of Time, Mistress of Time. Your journey ends here." The figure spoke.

" And just who the hell are you?" Kaian asked, a little pissed that someone she didn't even know was telling her she was going to die.

Link pushed Kaian behind him and again asked. " Why?"

The figure simply shrugged. " I never liked you."

" Link who is this?" Kaian whined.

Link drew his sword, his eyes quickly counting. " This is the person who helped you in Karkariko Village… His name is Sheik."
