Link watched as the carriage headed off into the distance. The village was like a ghost town now. At least they had saved everyone. Link made his way back over to where Impa, Zelda and Kafei stood. They were still gathered around the well.
Impa sighed.
"I have to stay behind and help rebuild the village. I won't be able to accompany you this time." She said.
"Impa! You can't possibly rebuild the whole town by yourself!" Zelda gasped.
"I know." She said. "I'm going to go see if i can't get a few of the Gorons to help me."
Zelda's eyes fell to the ground.
"Don't worry Zelda, we will see each other soon." She reassured her. They hugged quickly and then the person who had been by Zelda's side for 3 years headed up the blood red, death mountain trail.
"Well, are you ready Link?" Zelda asked, after a few moments of silence.
He nodded. "Do you have any potions though?" He asked.
"I have four red potions." She replied.
"Then we are ready." Link said as he slowly lowered him self into the well. He grabbed onto the rusty metal excuse for a ladder.
"Wait! What exactly is down there?" Kafei questioned, a bit unsure of himself.
"It's the scariest place in all of Hyrule. Ghosts and re-deads lurk all over the place." Link explained, as he climbed down the ladder.
"Well, i came on this journey for a reason." Kafei sighed to himself, and lowered himself into the well after Link.
Zelda came after.
The bottem of the well was pitch black. Zelda lit her oil lamp. The fire lit up the small hallway that they stood in. The team walked cautiously to the end of the hallway where a stone tablet was mounted on the wall.
"It's written in Sheikah." Zelda said.
"Well what does it say?" Kafei asked curiously.
"It says, Here lies the damned souls of Hyrule." She read.
"How lovely." Kafei said sarcastically.
"Where do we go now though? It's a dead end!" Zelda exclaimed.
"That's what you think!" Link said mysteriously, as he walked right through the wall. Kafei and Zelda followed.
The room was quite large. This time a few torches lit the walls making it easier to see.
In the middle of the room there was a circle of poles with skulls on them. In the middle of the circle was some sort of bird the side of the room opposite to where they were standing, there was a barred door. Link immediatly ran over to the bird statue and started pushing it around.
"What are you doing, Link?" Kafei asked.
"I have to align the bird statue with the correct skull statue." He said. "It would be much easier if I had the lens of truth, but I think i lost it." Link stopped pushing the statue in front of one of the skull poles. The ground began to cave in.
"Link!" Kafei and Zelda screamed in unison. They both lunged at him. Link was faster though. He jumped out of the skull circle before he fell with the floor.
"You could have been killed! Be more carful!" Zelda scolded.
Link laughed slightly. "Don't worry so much."
He continued pushing the statue to the next pole. The bird sunk into the ground and the locked door opened.
