Puck the Trickster
A multitude of Goblins stared at the mirror before them that their leader coveted. "What is it?" was a common question asked among the crowd. Soon they all started chanting and singing "WE WANNA KNOW, WE WANNA KNOW" much to Ganondorf's annoyance.
Ganondorf stared at his prize, the mighty "Titania's Mirror". We smiled as he ordered his soldiers to wrap it in chains. "Make sure they're iron understand" he reminded. "If they aren't I'll be sorry, and if I'M sorry, YOU'LL all be sorrIER!" he yelled as preparations were made.
Garin stood next to Gorm and shook his head, "I could have assassinated a number of people and you have me steal a freaking mirror. Talk about a waste of time" Garin complained thinking he only brought something back for Ganondorf to stare at himself with.
Ganondorf turned to his assassin and chuckled, "THIS is not just any mirror, it's "Titania's Mirror", Queen of the Ferfolk. Though I do appreciate your malicious ambitions, we need to put them on hold for the time being". With this, Ganondorf picked up a bell and a ring and clanged them together chanting in a strange language. However, one regular word was heard by his men, "Puck".
Suddenly, the mirror began to glow and a being shot out covered in the chains that were placed around the mirror. He wore regal clothing and his ears were like that of a Hylian except they were longer and he wasn't as tall as the standard Hylian and had white shoulder length hair which was also out of the norm for a young looking man like himself.. He got up and gave a scowl at the self proclaimed King of Evil. Ganondorf could see his men were in total shock, "Gentlemen, meet Puck the Trickster"
Back at Hyrule, the War Council prepared to make a charge on Ganondorf and the Pyramid he hid in. Shin appeared in the room late but he was equipped with a repaired naginta blade the Gorons made for him. He dubbed it "Iwa-Ryu" the Stone Dragon in honor of the race that reforged his weapon. He also brought something else for his partners. Instantly, Shin handed Link and Sieg two dagger like weapons. "These are tantos" he explained.
Sieg actually put the tanto to his side while Link inspected it and saw a strange Xangese symbol etched into the blade. His Triforce of Courage translated it for him: "Loyalty". "What's this supposed to mean?" Sieg asked curiously hoping he didn't have to conjure a gift for the hyperactive prince.
"It means for better or for worse, I'm sticking with this till the end, not for honor, not pride, but due to loyalty to my fellow comrades" Shin explained. It didn't take long for the trio to realize everyone was looking at them in this gushy moment.
Lord General Faust then clapped his hands, "Let's begin this then"
Back at the Pyramid, Puck struggled in the iron chains and found he could not break free, "Is this how you treat ALL your guests Gerudo outcast?" he complained.
Ganondorf, instead of blasting him as he normally would, just stared at him, "Any who might turn on me" he answered. "And you're not a guest" he corrected. "You serve Hylians and all other manner of creature, now you shall serve me" he explained.
The fairy stared at him with a sarcastic smile. "Serving Hylians and others is fun. They all have a sense of humor devoid in Avalon where my people live" he explained. He then made an annoyed face and pointed at Ganondorf, "YOU and other male Gerudo have NONE. And I would know, I've lived long enough to see the mannerisms of many male Gerudo" he said giving some insight on how long this being had lived for. Gorm and the other realized he must be ancient.
"I see you are all just dying to know what he is" Ganondorf said. "This gentlemen is a fairy, and no, not the gay kind the magic kind" he explained. He then heard constant complaints that fairies were small winged glowing creature found in secret springs. Ganondorf corrected them. "True, but they are lesser fairies unlike the Great Fairies. Puck is one of the fairies above the Great Fairies. And you can guess that he's got a LOT of magic power and only one weakness, iron" he ended with a smile as Puck floated sideways in front of them in boredom.
Back at the Hylian Alliance meeting, things were going less than well. "I vote we let me just use a spell to blow thing up, won't be that hard" Sieg explained causing Zelda to try explain that the Pyramid was a temple to darkness and since a balance is needed, the Pyramid was needed. Yet all this did was cause a bit of a catfight between her and Abigail begin.
"Let's make a team of nine people go into the pyramid to destroy the evil within it!" Shin voted.
Link looked at him, "That's from the Ring book that I showed you the other day Shin. Nothing you see in that actually works in real life" Link corrected.
Puck continued to float in the air in the Pyramid, "Oh well, let's get this over with" he said as he flew around the mirror. "Come on, out with it, I haven't got all night" he complained.
"You got all year if I decree it Puck!" Ganondorf retorted to the cocky fairy; yet he was reminded the Hyrulian forces were coming for him soon so he didn't have a year. "I would if those Hylians were gone and couldn't lead Hyrule's forces!" he complained. However this gave him an idea, "Yes Puck, I want you to get rid of the Hylians for me, all of them" he ordered with an evil smile.
"I know I sound like Robin Williams but does this look like Aladdin's Lamp, there are limits to want I can do even with the Queen's mirror. (huh, she's been looking for this)" Puck explained. "What is it you REALLY want?" he asked as he tapped the glass of the mirror revealing Link's image. "How quaint, still holding a torch? …well if this is where your tastes lay that's your business but I can't make someone fall in love with you, that's breaking a few rules" he explained causing Ganondorf to become angry.
However Ganondorf saw something else in the image Princess Zelda with Link, "THERE! That's what I want! If you can't rid me of all the Hylians then bring me that one! Bring her to me now Puck!" Ganondorf ordered.
Puck floated right next to Ganondorf, "Did you say that HYLIAN or THAT Hylian? Oh, never mind, I'm sure I'll figure it out" he said annoying Ganondorf until he realized something. "This just might be fun after all" he chuckled as he tapped the mirror revealing the council in Hyrule Castle before them. Everyone was amazed as he flew through the mirror!
What happened next was not expected; Puck appeared before the Hyrulians and attacked them with his magic. On Ganondorf's side, he couldn't hear what was going on but he could see everything, and he liked it.
"Stand still you little-!" Elle called out as she attacked with her rapier trying to hit the fairy. Instead Puck waved his hands and the table cloth wrapped around both her and Kyle immobilizing them much to her embarrassment.
Puck turned his attention toward the Hero trio as they attacked him. "Oh dear, too bad I can't tell you that Ganondorf is using Titania's Mirror to control poor ol' Puck. Too bad I can't tell you he wants the princess to help him unseal some magical sword of evil or something. I didn't really pay attention to that part" he said telling them everything.
"Is there anything you can tell us?" Shin asked annoying everyone in the room. Hina just face-palmed herself as he looked confusingly at everyone until he got it.
Without warning Puck wrapped Princess Zelda in his chains and began pulling her through the glass that he used. "It's a shame you do not know any mirror or reflective surface can be used by the Queen's Mirror" Puck warned as Link jumped him. "Sword Art: Hurricane Spin" was used by Link but Puck caught the blade between his fingers and gave the young hero a stern look. "This will not do against the darkness ahead" he lectured as he used magic to shatter Link's Hero Sword before everyone's eyes.
Ganondorf, who viewed the whole thing through the mirror, wiped a tear from his eye. "It's so beautiful" he said. He then covered the fact that he was tearing up so his lieutenants wouldn't see it. Seeing the princess right in front of him, Ganondorf yanked on Puck's chain trying to pull the two through before she found a way out.
This did not go unnoticed by the duo. Princess Zelda began to pray and seemed to cast a spell on Link that gave him knowledge of something. Puck "accidentally" dropped two things out of his pouch as they were pulled through.
"Princess!" Hans screamed out as he tried to punch the mirror which only shattered it. The rest of the Colonels looked around covering all reflective surfaces to ensure another surprise attack wouldn't be possible.
Kyle helped Elle up but only received a slap on his hands when he offered it to her. Everyone tried to understand what to do and decided a strike was needed right away. Abigail and Hina were the only ones who noticed right away that the Hero trio had other ideas.
Sieg inspected the objects that Puck left them, "Seems our prisoner friend gave us some form of a book" he realized. Inside their ways a multitude of ancient spells that Sieg could use and a bunch of Magic Seals that Shin realized he could utilize in his paper seals. The second thing though was a scroll that had a few sword skills and a few ancient blades described in it that Link took, but there was a different look in his eyes as he looked to his broken sword.
As the colonels looked to Link and the heroes, Link revealed what Zelda taught him, "We have to go to the Scared Grove and claim the Master Sword guys" Link announced.
To be continued in "The Sacred Grove"
