Chapter 6 ~ Training with a New Character
I don't know how long I was out but when I woke up I was outside and I saw Dark talking to Link and my mother. "Dark? How are you here?" I asked. "Our mother here had some help." He said gesturing to the shadows. A girl with blue hair and purple eyes walked out. "Lana?" I said under my breathe. "How do you know my name?" Before I came back to the twilight era, I lived in a place where Link, Zelda, Sheik, and most other people here are video game characters. A new game was gonna come out, introducing you." "Oh? Well that is different. By any chance, is your name Alex?" I nodded. "You need to come with me. Your mother can help Link finish his quest up till his final battle. Dark you too, come with me." "Can I at least talk to my mom? I haven't even told her that Zelda and I got married." "Ohhhh! My baby congratulations! Will I get any grandbabies soon?"
"Well right after I said I do, a portal appeared and sent me back to now. If I can't get back then you'll never have grandkids unless Dark finds a wife. Which I highly doubt." "I can hear you!" Dark yelled at me. "I'm kidding! Any way I should go. Link make sure my mom doesn't get hurt." "You got it!" Dark and I hugged our mom and left with Lana. "So Alex, what did this portal look like?" "It looked purple and black with white in the middle. Just like that!" I yelled pointing at a portal in a clearing. "Wait a minute. You were the cause of that portal!" "Yes but I needed your help with something. But something in you messed up the portal." "Triforce." She looked at me. "At that time I had the whole triforce then when I went through the portal, the triforce turned into this mask and now I have half of each triforce." "I was not aware of that... Anyway, I was taking you to my time so I could tell you that your father is in this time. Of course you know that, but I need to tell you that during the final fight with your father, you cleanse him but someone took in the darkness and had to be sealed away in the sacred realm. I'm not sure who but it isn't your mother, or Link, or Zelda." "So, it's one of us?" Dark asked. "Unless someone else will be with you at the final battle. But that is all I can tell you. For now step through the portal with me and I will start training you two." "Hold onto me Alex, we don't want you drifting off." I grabbed Dark's cape and followed them through the portal.
When the portal cleared, I saw a big field with a single Japanese cherry blossom tree in the center. "This place is beautiful." Dark and I said together. "In here one day is one hour. So we can stay in here for a month and it will only have been thirty or thirty one hours." I nodded and Dark was still taking in the beauty. "First what does that mask do to Dark. I've seen what happens to you, if Dark can wear it, then this training will go by very quickly." I threw the mask to Dark and he put it on. Nothing happened. "Guess only I can wear it." I grabbed the mask off Dark's face and put it on.
When I was in my deity form we started to train with Lana. "First, you two need to learn to conjure traps and portals. It's very simple, the first trap is the basic explosion trap. Pick one place, place your hand there and then..." BOOM! "What was that?" Lana looked at us and there were giant craters. "Did we ever mention we are very quick learners? Also we know how to transform, and fight with some magic but we need more help." "Okay... portals! Arms out stretched then..." WHOOOSH! "Portals done and locked onto Hyrule Castle." We said in unison. "Before we start fighting you two have to get your stamina up. I know that when you use the mask, Alex, your energy gets sapped quickly. So I will chase you both and you will evade me for two days." "Two days?" We asked. "Yes, now I will summon my giant monster to ride on, and you will run." She opened her book and turned the pages until she found something marked Stallord. "Stallord? Oh goddess! Run Dark!" He looked at me and a shadow loomed over him. He turned back, screamed, and started running like a road runner.
I won't tell you about the two days running from our crazy friend on her Stallord steed. But she did fall off of it a couple times then she had to start running with us. But that's getting off topic. "It's been two days now! Kill Stallord now!" "Dark, you keep it distracted for a bit while I get ready to attack it's spine." He started to run at it, sending weak little balls of magic at it to get it's attention. I started set a bunch of snare traps for it. "Dark! Lead it over here." He ran over to me as I transformed into my gryffin form. He jumped onto my back and I flew away from Stallord and it kept running and ran into my magic snare traps. Black vines grew quickly from the ground and ensnared it. I flew down, transformed back, and summoned my swords. Dark summoned a purple hilted gold bladed rapier. "Hey where did you get that?" "Well I found it in the castle's treasure chamber, and it was enchanted so I started using it and I could use my magic through it." With one sword in each hand I ran forward and started for the spine. We started slashing at it but nothing was happening. "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I put a charm on it so that it could not be easily defeated. There is one place that the charm is weaker but it is hidden and you will each have to unlock a new skill by yourselves." "Thanks Lana.." Dark said sarcastically. "Well I already have my new skill." "What is it Dark!" "I can undo any charms or spells put on anyone or anything. But if I try to attack afterwards, the charm or spell is recast on to it." "Well that helps us getting rid of the charm, but not killing it." "Well your skill has to be a one hit knockout, or something similar. Try random stuff."
I tried spells and other magic stuff, but none of that worked. Then I got tired so I sat down and put my swords on top of each other and there was a burst of black and white light. I looked at my swords after the light was gone and I saw one gray blade sword with a blue and red gem hilt. The blade was glowing, I picked it up and pointed it at an empty spot in the field and a bow of pure white light appeared. I pulled the string back and let go. The sword flew for a while then fell, and where it fell there was a huge explosion.
The sword flew back to me and stopped in mid-air so I could grab it. Then I pointed it at the spine of Stallord and yelled, "Dark now!" He took down the charm and I released the sword. My sword released a beam of light that shot out of Stallord and shattered him. I got rid of the snare trap and Lana ran towards us. "That was great guys!" She tripped and fell onto Dark and their lips touched. "Having fun you two?" I said snickering.
They both started blushing as they stood up. "Thanks for catching me…" "Yeah no problem. We should probably go now." He said. "I'll go with you guys just if you need some help recovering. It's not like I want to stay with you, it's just that I think Dark, I mean you guys might need some help…" "Okay love birds!" I said. Dark backhanded my arm. "I'm kidding, just both of you grab onto me and I will take us to Link and my mom." They each grabbed an arm and I dashed through my portal. When we came out of the portal we saw Link and my mom going across the light bridge to the castle.
"Link! Mom! You guys took only two hours to defeat four bosses and awaken the last four sages?" I said to them. They quickly turned around to see us. "Your mom did most of the work with bosses. I figured out all the puzzles and got her through." Link retorted. "Nice work mom. How long did it take you to find their weak points?" I asked. "Not long I just tapped into your memories." "I feel violated now!" "Don't worry I didn't see you doing anything with Zelda in her..." I covered her mouth quickly and said, "Mom! Let's just go save dad." We all looked at the castle, unsheathed our weapons, and ran in.
