Chapter 28
She's Gone For Good
Aryll – (sulking; sitting against the bars of the cell) I still can't believe Zelda left us like that. Who knew she could be such a –
Link – (sitting in the back corner, fiddling with something) Aryll, just give it a rest, will ya?
Aryll – Well I'm sorry, Big Brother, I'm just really irritated with her.
Sora – I think we all are, Aryll, so you don't have to worry about telling us over and over again.
Aryll – Oh, right. Sorry.
Midna – Does anyone have any ideas on how to get out of here? I think it's probably a little bit too much to ask Lya to come back, especially after she escaped.
Link – Exactly what I was thinking. Which is why I've been working on this. (holds up a twisted piece of metal)
Midna – And just what is that supposed to do?
Link – Well, I'm going to use it to pick the lock.
Midna – (blinks) Yeah. You have fun with that.
Link – What? You don't think it'll work?
Midna – No. Not really.
Link – Well excuse me, your highness, what exactly did you have in mind?
Midna – I was thinking that maybe we could –
Midna is interrupted by a young Tempest girl coming into the room.
Girl – (opening the door) You can all go. (watching their confused expressions) Shri is dead. Dakaraso killed her.
Link – What happened?
Girl – Apparently they had some sort of deal that didn't work out too well. They were arguing, and Shri refused to do something that Dakaraso wanted, so he killed her. I guess she knew too much.
Aryll – So she's gone for good?
Midna – Wait, what about your universal domination plans?
Girl – There were only a handful of us that actually wanted that. And they've all been taken care of. So you're all free to go. Dasar, you are welcome to return to us.
Dasar – (looking thoughtful) I think I will stay. (turning to the others) Give Lya my thanks. And tell her not to worry about the Tempests again. We will be her allies, not her enemies.
Link – We'll tell her. Thank you for everything you've done, Dasar.
