Chapter 2: War!
The shadows disappeared as daylight broke through the nighttime sky. All the bridges and paths to Castle Town were destroyed.
"What are these things?" asked Shad, bewildered by what Link told him. Shad was always sure of what was happening, but this time he was stumped.
"They are the same enemies I fought during the Twilight incident," Link answered.
"You mean like the dragon and spider?" Ashei questioned Link.
"Yes, however there were more than just those two," said Link.
"How many were there?" asked Telma. This got Darbus' and Prince Ralis' attention.
"There were ten," Link said sadly. Everyone, including the Gorons, looked dumbstruck.
"Link, take a look at this! It's a secret realm, more mysterious than the Twilight or Sacred Realms. It's called the Nightmare Realm, where everything is our worst fears. However, there is only one link and that is in the-" Shad broke off as an explosion sounded outside. Darbus, Gor Coron, Dangoro, Ashei, and Link went to look for the source of the explosion.
"Oh no!" Link exclaimed.
"Huh? What is it Brother?" asked Darbus.
Link didn't have to answer as an army of Aeralfos-riding Darknuts came into the vicinity.
"All Gorons to the enemies!" yelled Darbus.
The Darknuts seemed different. Some used swords as they would normally, but some were using bows and arrows for distance. The Aeralfos spat out bombs that exploded in a mid-sized blast radius. The Gorons did not seem fazed by any of these attacks.
The battle raged on for hours, sometimes Auru would fire his shoulder cannon at the beasts. However, one of the Aeralfos was fast and dodged all of the shots.
The beast swooped down and the Darknut that was riding it stabbed Auru.
Auru had died that night.
