Okay, so I'm back with another chapter of….DARK MAGIC! Sadly, I have absolutely NO readers on here anymore. It's kinda sad, because this is probably going to be my main story from now on. Just so that's known. Anyways, LET'S GET THIS GOING!

Chapter 7

As I walk in, I realize just how similar this place is to Hyrule castle. The we enter leads to the blacksmith room, where about 20 people are working to build weapons of all kinds. I look up to see a sign on the back of the door reading "Castle K". I have to wonder what THAT means, but have no time because a big, muscle man comes up and smacks Link on the shoulder. Link winces, but smiles at the man.

"So Osun," He asks, and I recognize the name "what's up here at the big K?". He then realizes how much Osun has to lean down to see him, and proceeds to grab a stool. While he's doing that, Osun turns around to glare at his men.

"WTF!" He shouts at them in a drill sergeant order "DIDN'T I TELL YOU SPECIFICALLY THAT A GREAT KNIGHT SOMEWHAT SMALLER THEN YOU WAS COMING! WEREN'T YOU LISTENING! TAKE A JOG OUTSIDE, THEN GIVE ME 100!". He finishes with the order for those hundred push-ups. Then turns around to see an aw-struck Link, a cool Tanhoe, and me, the one smiling because watching other people doing these things is fun.

"Sir," I ask "Can I go exercise with them?" I ask hopefully. He looks over at me(I'm actually a little taller then him, so I get to look down on him).

"Well, if you really wanted too…but if you get to far behind, please come back. I understand that Link has limited time." He nods to Link. I nod, then sprint out the door, sprint another five yards, and pass the slowest knight. I continue sprinting until I reach the pack of young adults, then try something I have yet to try. I focus Dark Magic into my legs, pushing it down, then leap. YES! I actually soar over the whole group, and land in the front, I start to jog backwards, and just smile at them, grinning. They all look dumfounded for a minute, but the leader(also the one with the most pride) shouts "That's a KID that's beating us. Let's get him!". Immediately, they all break out into a full sprint, right at me! I just wave at them, then form a magic shield. This makes it so that they have to crawl under the invisible wall's that I have made. Sadly, the leader has no idea and smacks into it at a full sprint, then the others crash into HIM! Finally, some discovers the little holes on the sides(the shield IS round after all, and squaring in about 5 by 4. That proves that these guys are DEFIANTLY lazy) and the big bad group of… whatever they are start to crawl like little babies. Maybe it IS time to humiliate them.

"Hey!" I shout "You guys are CRAWLING! I bet Osun won't be happy to hear THAT!". They all glare at me, and the ones that are out start another sprint at me, but are more careful then the previous leader. I actually laugh in their faces before turning around and sprinting again. Oh, and have I forgotten to mention that I was still wearing my black cloak? Yep, that proved that I was good.

The "jog" lasted for another mile, with me putting up obstacles, like summoning tree's for the men to jump over, and more of the circular walls. When I finished in first, fifty yards ahead of the pack, I start my push-ups. On one hand. Going all the way down. I also take of my cloak.

"Wow, your good, recruit!" I hear a voice say. I turn my head to say a little girl with a bucket of water in both hands watching me. "I've only seen my father, Osun, do these in his morning exercises, ad even then he only does twenty!(By that time I'm on forty five, and just starting to break a sweat. Barely.). I grin, then laugh.

"Well, I don't think that I'm more physically fit then your father, but these are just what I do at home. And by the way, I'm just visiting with that "Great Warrior". But the most important thing is, what's your name? Mine's Zene." I ask. This is probably the longest non-combat group of sentences that I have ever spoken to someone.

"Well Zene, my name Kirkie. As you can tell, my father is Osun, and I work here with him. It's a great job, because I get to see some great knights that come back here and visit. Including the Great Warrior, Link.". So. This is a training place for knights, hmmm? Well, that might actually be useful. I smile at her, then finish the push-ups just as the knights come in, exhausted.

"WHAT ARE YOU!" The old leader shouts at me as he comes in. I just smile, pick up my cloak and put it on, nod at Kirkie, then walk in.

As I walk in, I notice that nobody's there. I look around , waiting to see someone, because nobodies there. I wait five minutes, then get slightly agitated. I decide to test my new mind spell. I focus my energy as far outward as I can get it, searching for another magical presence. After about five minutes of searching, I detect Tanhoe in a higher area of the castle. I find the stairs in the room, and follow the path that I've memorized…

After another agonizing 5 minutes, I open a door to see wooden benches, with Tanhoe sitting on them. I walk over and sit next to her.

"Why are you up here?" I ask. Tanhoe just points down to a courtyard, where I see Link and Osun sparring. Then I realize that that area isn't a courtyard. It's a small training ground. I watch the two swords men slashing their swords threw the air, then pull a black Krako out of my pack. It's a small, ripe fruit, with a nice sweet flavor. I sit back, and watch the sparring, knowing that it will go on for awhile. I notice the training knights also watching, amazed that Link can hold his ground against Osun. At that point, I lean back, and fall asleep…

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Who knows how much longer, Tanhoe wakes me up.

"Come on sleepy head," She says "The battle's over." I look down to see Link and Osun shaking hands. I look over at Tanhoe, not wanting to take the stairs down. She recognizes that look, and crouches down, ready to spring. So do I.

"Three, two, one, go" I mutter under my breath. On go, I leap off the benches and so does Tanhoe. We both land at the exact same time, in the exact same motion. Hit the ground with knee's bent, roll, then get ready to fight. I proceed to stand up, then help Tanhoe do the same. I turn around to see Osun staring at us in awe, while Link just shakes his head. I then look up to see the most satisfying part of all. The training knights look horrified, and Kirkie, behind them, grinning. That's when I come up with a great idea. I jog over to Osun, ask him, then jog back with a yes. Osun and Link leave the training grounds, and head up to the bleachers. I turn back around to the knights.

"So. You've seen what I can do. But I think that you might want to fight me now. After all, I DID just make your jog that much harder. But you guys still want revenge, right? Or are you just sissies, and I want to stay up there and be cowardly? I dare on of you, maybe all of you, to fight me. How about it?" I ask them. They all stair down at me, before getting into a huddle. After about a minute, the leader breaks the huddle and looks back down at me.

"We all need a little more training, so we'll do the taking turns fighting you choice." He says, slightly glaring at me. I shake my head.

"No, that's not what I meant. You guys are all supposed to fight me at the same time." I shout up at them. The leader gives me an odd look, but proceeds to get prepared when I shout up at them again "oh, and just to make it a little more fair, I get Tanhoe." I turn around to look at her. She nods, but I can tell she's smiling under her cloak. I pull the cloak off the reveal the small more close to my body cloak with leather under it, while Tanhoe pulls hers of to reveal shiny, steel armor, made by the craftsmen at Hyrule castle. The knight's look at each other, nod, then leave the benches to go put their armor on. I turn around to Tanhoe.

"So what's our battle plan?' I joke. Tanhoe actually smiles, then nods.

"Let's go with B9. Since you've just about revealed everything about us, let's beat them down, AND scare them. It might be fun!" She ends in a lighter tone, happy that she gets to make these knight's lives even more miserable. I grin too, then proceed to get ready to sprout my wings. It had been hard keeping my wings in this long, and it was starting to get MUCH harder.

Another five minutes later, the knights come hustling out… and strait at us. No formality's, just head on battle. Good. Good training for once. I nod to Tanhoe, and she get's right behind me.

"On 3." I mutter. I put my fingers. 3...2...1...GO! Tanhoe leaps on my back just as I change into dragon form. I quickly fly up and look down at the knights as they sprint through where we just were. They look everywhere but up, and I growl to Tanhoe to start. I stat a dive, while Tanhoe shoot's huge blasts of magic down at the knights. Luckily, her power is only on 2, which means that they get knocked out, but not seriously injured.

Once the knights see their comrades fall, the leader shouts "TURTLE!", and all the knights group together with shields up to block out attacks. Again, I growl to Tanhoe, and she jumps off and into a roll, which put's her directly in front of the slow knight, who is still running to get to his group.

"Sorry, kiddie, but your down today." She hisses at him before blasting him with magic. He stumbles back, then falls down.

While Tanhoe is doing that, I change back to human form, and hit the ground rolling. I slam into the turtle formation, which knocks most of the knights off balance. Tanhoe quickly takes the ones on the ground out, while I proceed to fight a melee combat fight with the 2 remaining good knights. One of them puts a scratch on my cheek, which I heal, then proceed to upper cut him in the chin. Luckily, his helmet takes most of the blow, but he still goes down. I then quick the other remaining knight in the gut, and he goes down.

Suddenly, a blast of magic whizzes right by me, and I see Tanhoe aiming for me now.

"IT'S ON!" I shout happily, and we proceed to fight it out for another 5 minutes before Osun looks down at us from the benches, still slightly in shock.

"y-yo-you two better get inside. We're eating now." He says. Tanhoe and I grin. Time for eating!
