Episode 45
The Blade of Evil's Bane
Last week, on Legends of Chima… Link, the warrior of Hyrule Kingdom, has ended up in the land of Chima, sent by his Goddess to rid us of the Ancient One. When shown the Room of Artifacts, the young Lion decided to travel with Laval and his friends to the Wolf Camp, but they are unaware that they are being watched...Meanwhile, Ganon continues to gather his army, and has found the Hunter's old fortress. Others have said that a golden light has been seen coming from the structure's inner walls. Whatever can he be up to? The time will come when Link and Ganon will face each other, and that day is drawing near. These are, the Legends of Chima….
A few days later, we arrive in the Wolf Camp. There are LOTS of wolves here, some with injuries, some without. But we are here to see only one wolf.
The wolf in question greets us in the middle of his camp. While Laval and the others greet Worriz, I hang back near the entrance, unsure of how to greet the wolf. "So. He's the one who Eris found at Forever Rock? I've never seen a Lion wearing that type of clothing...or with that color of mane...where do you come from?" I walk up to the wolf, and we look at each other. "Well?" "Somewhere very far away." "...Where, exactly?" I look at Worriz and the wolf backs away, unevered. "A far-off land...a kingdom by the name of Hyrule." The wolves stare at each other. Then, a wolf named Winzar walks up to Worriz. "...High-Rule? ...That's strange...there was this rock out there"-He gestures towards the woods-"...and it had some writing on it...the only words that were legible were High-Rule, Knight...what else...Blade...of….Evil's...Bane…." Then the others notice my reaction. "...Did I say something?" I turn to Worriz. "I know what that thing is. If you take me to it, I leave with it. Got it?" Worriz can only nod. "Then let's go."
While the others walk to the clearing, a certain Raven stares at the sword in the stone. "...This will make a good profit, yes?"
When we reach the clearing, we notice that something is wrong. Very wrong. The sword is gone. The rock has been split in half. And on the ground are Raven feathers. "...What?" Worriz runs to the rock, starring at it. The others follow him. I bend down and pick up a feather. I then snarl and throw it to the ground and raise my arms to the sky. "For the love of Farore! How can I be a Hero if I can't even have my sword?!" I go on a rant for a few more minutes when I'm interrupted. "...Excuse me...but...could you expect this? Whenever someone tried to touch it, it burned them, even me." I whirl around, only to see a Raven, holding something covered in rags. He appears to be burnt. "...Razar...you had no right….you took the sword by force...therefore, you had no right to hold it. But I do." I hold out my hands and the birds lays the bundle in them.
With one swift motion, I tear the cloth from the object, and uncover a blazing sword hilt. A faded sword hilt, with dragon-leather and a blue bird's spread wings below the hilt. "...Is that what you were looking for? You call that a sword? What's wrong with it?" I look towards Laval this time. "Nothing's wrong with it...this is how it looks in my world...though I do wonder…" I slowly unsheathe the sword, freeing it from it's sheathe, and hold it so the blade is pointed to the sky. "...What the Master Sword would look like in yours…" Then, the sword begins to glow. And no one can look upon it, not even me…..
I find myself holding a transformed sword. Aside from looking like a Chimaean sword, the Blade of Evil's Bane now is twice as powerful. I swing the sword, and I see the very air move from the arc of the blade. "...I stand corrected." Worriz steps back from the sword. After swinging the sword a few more times, I reach behind me and sheathe the blade. "I got what we came here for. Let's go back to the Lion Temple." The others agree. "...Uh...Laval? I need to speak to your father about something...my wolves have been reporting...that these beasts have been seen around the Outlands...and that they have strange weapons and wear strange clothing…" Both Laval and I look at Worriz. "...What kind of beasts?" The Wolf looks at the two Lions, and opens his mouth to reply, but then….a huge explosion rocks the area.
A roar rises up out of the woods behind the group, and seconds after, the ground begins to shake. "What was that?" "Why is the ground shaking?" Several of the group turns and runs away from the others. "Get back here! ….Hey! Where are you going?" "Somewhere safe!" Laval attempts to run after them, but stops at the edge of the clearing. Panting, the Lion Prince turns to me, who has unsheathed my sword. "...Something...must of...scared them off...but what…" THUD. Several trees fall around the clearing, and the remaining animals look at each other. I quickly take charge of the situation. "Laval. Cragger. Worriz, either form a circle or get behind me. Get your weapons out. And for the love of Farore, please be quiet!" The others listen to me, and soon, the group has formed a square, each pointing his weapon in one direction. "...I don't hear anything…" Then: several trees fall right in front of me, and when the dust clears, a massive beast is standing in the ruined trees, wielding two swords, and he is surrounded by smaller beasts.
The beast then opens his maw and roars. Once he is done, he steps over the trees and clops over to stand above the four warriors. "...So….You wished to see me? To gaze upon me before I slaughtered you? And look at this! Did Hylia send you here as well? How foolish of her…" The beast turns from the group, then suddenly swings his sword.
CRACK. The sound of metal striking metal is heard even at the Fire Temple. When the other three notice that they are not dead, they slowly open their eyes. Only to look upon an incredible sight: I'm holding back the beast's swords with my own. I snarl and make the beast stumble backwards. "I didn't come to Chima just to see my new friends die, Ganon! I came to deal with you! And now, you ambush us?!" Ganon only tilts his tusked head back and roars in laughter. "You? Defeat me? Ganon, the Demon King?" He stops laughing and lowers his head to mine. "...I understand now why Hylia sent you...but she sent a fool. Your ancestor would have ran away, but you? You stayed here, putting your friends' lives in danger!" Ganon raises his head to stare at Laval. "Go back to your father, prince. And tell him this: Two nights from now, I will attack your temple. Nothing will stand in my way…" I have turned towards Laval to see his reaction to this. Ganon notices. "...Not even…" Then I turn back to face Ganon. "HIM."
Several hours later, the main doors to the temple burst open. Several Lions run outside, only to see several animals running towards them, all having some injury. Lagravis reaches them first. "What in Cavora happened to you?!" None can reply to his question, except one. His son. "...He...attacked us...we were ambushed, we tried to fight him…" As his son falls to the ground, the Lion King catches him in his arms. They look at each other. "...Who...did this…" A new voice answers him, and Lagravis gasps along with his guards. "...His name...is Ganon….He did this to me...and to your son and his friends…" I'm the most injured, but I am standing on my o, being supported by my sword, which blazes in the darkness. "...Is it true?" Eris nods, and quickly moves to catch me as I succumb to my wounds. The sword falls to the ground, still blazing. Lagravis can only hands his son to his guards and order others to help the wounded inside the temple…..
Meanwhile, inside Ganon's Palace, the Demon King looks over a map of the area. "...Yes….I have found the location of the shrines….that sword shall never end my life again…." The beast raises his tusked head and roars in laughter, the sound echoing to the heavens…..
