A smile took shape on the goddess face. "Your first challenge: The Shrine of Hermes" Percy vision dissolved into a swirl of white, green and gold as they were teleported to the dungeon.
(Link's POV, Shrine of Hermes)
A gentle wind whooshed past the group who were standing at the entrance of the Shrine of Hermes. The ribbon at the end of the Master Sword fluttered in the breeze. Percy uncapped his sword which grew into a meter long celestial bronze while Annabeth produced a single knife from her sleeve. Natsuki equipped Agony and joined the ends of the weapon together, creating a long and dangerous looking weapon. Link unsheathed his sword and buckled his shield to his right arm.
"Ready?" Link asked. Percy and Annabeth nodded, though Link saw a slight shimmer of apprehensive on Annabeth's face. They plunged into the unwelcoming darkness of the dungeon.
A cool draft greeted them as they entered the dungeon. It felt unnatural, as there were no windows on the dull stone walls. Annabeth shivered unconsciously. Noticing the slight motion, Percy moved closer to her and placed his hand over her shoulder.
"Th-Thanks…" Annabeth said. Percy merely smiled. Link relied on his instinct, quickly avoiding traps and moving deeper into the shrine. Another unnatural gust of wind floated across the room, but this one carried an ominous feeling with it. Link felt a hand move around his neck and squeezed, cutting off his air supply. Panicking, Link swung his sword wildly, trying to kill the owner of the hand. The hand tightened its relentless strangle.
"Get off me!" Link yelled, doubling his efforts in trying to escape. However, the harder he struggled, the tighter the hand became. Soon, even standing up became a chore.
"Why did it choose you?" A voice whispered from the empty corridor. "Why didn't you try to stop them?" Link closed his eyes. When he opened them, they blazed with the flames of courage.
"Those eyes…he used to look at me like that. You could have stopped me, Link, but you didn't." The hand tightened even further. Any more and his neck would snap. "You could have joined me…we could have ruled the world…but you chose to save them…and I ask you…why?" Link lowered his eyes. He had could not answer it. "The answer is simple, isn't it? It is fear. You are afraid of the darkness. You could embrace it, accept it as one of yourself, but you chose to destroy it. A strong aura of darkness surrounded Link. "Look at the power you could have gotten if u accepted your darkness. Don't you want it? Power to protect your friends. Power to save the captured. Power to kill your enemy. Instead, you chose courage. Courage to face against the strongest of monsters. Courage to kill your opponents without hesitation. But what good is courage, if you do not have power?" The voice faded and Link felt himself being thrown into another room.
The room was blank and empty, save for the tree growing in the middle of nowhere and the water on the ground. His shadow swirled and became a figure that looked exactly like him.
"Who are you?" Link asked, raising his shield. The shadow chuckled.
"Don't you see? I am YOU!" He charged, his sword would have been fatal if it contacted but Link pared it away with his blade. He immediately countered but the shadow flipped behind him and slashed. Link felt his chain mail give way, and the pure black blade slid into his body. Link gasped and fell face first onto the ground. The shadow stood above him and laughed.
"You are weak and you know it. You need power."
"You expect me to take the Triforce of Power?" Link demanded, gritting his teeth against the pain.
"Yes…" The shadow said, stabbing his sword downwards. The sword caught Link in his shoulder, and the shadow leisurely pushed the blade into his body. "See? Courage is not enough to overpower me. I'm stronger than you. You know that."
"Link…Link!" Link could barely make out a voice.
"Tch. Your friends are good. This is not our last meeting. The next time we meet, this room will not be as…white. I will paint this room red with your blood." He shadow smirked before fading into the white room. Suddenly, Link felt a stinging sensation on his cheek and the white room disappeared.
"Wh-what?" Link murmured. "What happened?"
"You collapsed." Natsuki said calmly. "Must have been some illusion you have. You were out the longest."
"I was…?" Link muttered, remembering the conversation he had with the shadow.
"You are weak and you know it. You need power."
"You expect me to take the Triforce of Power?" Link demanded, gritting his teeth against the pain.
"Yes…" The shadow said, stabbing his sword downwards. The sword caught Link in his shoulder, and the shadow leisurely pushed the blade into his body. "See? Courage is not enough to overpower me. I'm stronger than you. You know that."
Link jumped when Natsuki placed her hand on his shoulder.
"Are you really alright?" Natsuki asked with genuine concern."
"I will be." Link said without much conviction. "We are wasting time here. Let's move on." Link tried to focus on his task at hand, but a single recurring thought kept appearing in his mind.
"I'm…weak?"
(Link's POV, Chamber before the Boss Room)
Percy glanced worriedly at Link for what seemed like the ten thousandth time.
"Are you really sure that you are ok?" Percy asked again. Link's eyebrows furrowed with irritation and said the next sentence through gritted teeth, each word dripping with annoyance.
"Yes I am fine." Percy gulped at the tone and whispered to Annabeth.
"What's with him?" Percy asked.
"Beats me." Annabeth replied, shrugging her shoulders. Link suddenly stopped at a huge door. A single keyhole was on the middle of the door which was decorated with scrolls.
"Finally, we are here." Link said with a hint of relief. "The final boss of the Shrine, Mercury." Percy stood straight, erasing all signs of weariness and pain.
"We are ready." Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Natsuki changing her weapon. Now it took the shape of a simple sword.
"7 Blades." Natsuki said. "Bring it on!" Link smiled and pushed the door open. They stepped into the room, or rather, an expressway and saw the roman side of Hermes waiting for them.
"I've been waiting…Percy, Annabeth, Natsuki, Link." Mercury said emotionlessly. He looked at Percy, Percy returning the gaze steadily. "Oh? A Son of Poseidon, Daughter of Athena, Daughter of Hera and the Son of Artemis. How…interesting." Mercury walked towards them, removing the cloak around his neck and threw it into the sky. It disappeared into snakes, which fell around them like rain. "Shall we begin?"
Link sheathed his sword and pulled out his bow and arrow, deciding to take out the snakes first. Percy was rolling, slashing, killing the snakes. Annabeth chose to put on her magical caps and pick off the snakes one by one. Natsuki slammed her blade into the ground before pointing it towards the heavens. A huge explosion engulfed her and the snakes around her vanished.
"Oh yea! Take that you scaly reptiles!" Natsuki said, sticking her tongue out at them.
"Natsuki, stop provoking them!" Annabeth said from thin air.
"Oh come on! I'm not that weak!" Natsuki said before leaping up. "Disappear!" She said as she dived towards the ground, her sword creating a huge shockwave. Natsuki tried to move but her legs have sunk into the road.
"Tar. The substance used to surface the road. When in liquid state, it is very sticky." Mercury said without any regret in his voice. "Die." At his command, a single dangerous looking snake charged towards Natsuki.
"NO!" Annabeth screamed. Her cap fell off as Percy saw her throwing herself between Natsuki and the snake. The snake disappeared into her body and Annabeth slumped forward, unconscious.
"Annabeth!" Percy shouted in despair. "Annabeth…no!"
"Mercury…" Link said, his body shaking with anger. "I shall make sure that you will fall by my blade."
"I'm a god. I cannot die." Hermes said as he charged at Link.
"We'll see about that." Link pulled back the sword and rushed to meet Mercury, his sword positioned in a way that the strike will impale Mercury through his heart. A painless death which he certainly did not deserve.

This took FOREVER! I am so sorry everyone! I also apologise for this really short chapter but this idea popped into my mind today and since I don't have any school today, why not? Still very sorry!
The information of the weapons Natsuki used, Agony, 7 Blades and HighLander will be on my profile. Thanks :)
