A.N- Sorry this chapter took so long, this chapter was extremely hard to put into words!
Fi turned and said "As a representation of the great goddess's power, I shall be your aid…I sense a great darkness within your soul…" her blue pupil less eyes seemed to focus on one person…Zelda, they both bowed at each other and the spirit absorbed itself within the sword. Zelda collected the sword and Laike said
"Let its spirit guide your hand, don't let your hand guide the spirit" the chief barged past Raul into the tent and said,
"I have decided, You three will need more than just a village if you are to stop the evil, a city lies just west of here, it's town is full to the brim with young men trained in many ways, keep going and you reach the sacred temple amongst the forgotten tribes, they are not human, but they have their own allies…"
All the while Laike couldn't stop thinking about how darkness had overcome her brother so quickly…did he give up? Or did he want to be with his daughter?
"that is fine…" unexpectedly Raul had answered Laike looked at him confused but said "we have to go…if we wait he will come…if we wait…we will die or be overcome with shadow…"
A few hours and already they hit the swamps of Wisdom trudging through uneven ground. "Come on slow pokes…" Laike called out, Raul was less impressed and before he could answer he fell into a pit "watch your step…" Laike said a smile brewed across her face Zelda saw this and laughed inside. Laike stopped to help Raul but when he got hold of her hand she let go saying "careful…" she held out her hand again and pulled him up, patted him on the back and left to walk in front next to Zelda…
"You like him don't you…don't lie I've seen that look before…" Laike scrunched her eyebrows and said "Ridiculous…he…maybe…ugh you know me better than I know myself!" Zelda laughed and they continued to trudge through the thick mud of wisdom the wind echoed through the trees giving wisdom in which direction to go.
The town they came to was caked in stone and metal…the Goron settlement… they bowed at the queen as she glided through the town running to the centre Laike roared to get everyone's attention they did pots were dropped and the water in springs reverberated
"The darkness is coming…it's not like shadow, this is pure evil it has destroyed colonies, colonised itself on my island, corrupted my niece and my brother and he will do the same to you…he won't stop! Not even for a goddess…that is why I need every Goron willing to fight!" they all thought she was crazy and laughed she gave a mighty hiss again and gave them what she had seen their eyes widened some of them fell to the ground and others questioned the person next to them, their king heard the roar and hiss and so headed outside of his volcanic castle
"What is all of this commotion…My Queen!" he bowed and Laike bowed back this was a moral acceptance of respect between loyalties
"She needs an army…" Raul butted in exchanging a look of admiration at his queen he quickly looked back to the Goron king
"Our army expands in all divisions…why" Laike placed a hand onto his rocky face, her eyes became their familiar white and he saw everything…
"I see…you will need more than this army…" he said as he turned and nodded at the guard captain, the captain left and half an hour later returned with hundreds of Gorons, ranging from archery to heavy duty
That night Laike couldn't sleep…the volcanic castle provided warmth and gave a feeling peace if albeit fiery and dangerous…Laike decided to go for a walk through the slumbering town…every now and then she would come across an animal but they bowed at her sensing she came with great powers…by midnight she had completely walked out of the town and was ready to pounce onto the air when she heard a noise, like a tiger she pounced onto the object her eyes glowing with weariness to her miss fortune it was Raul Laike gave a warning growl and told him
"Get back to the castle go and get some rest!" she shouted a little disturbance could be heard from one of the houses, and they lowered their voices
"Laike…if your thinking about leaving, you've got another thing coming!" he whispered she gave him an angered look and replied with
"Why would I leave…I have reasons to be here…" her voice trailed off and Raul raised an eyebrow and blinked
"Realy? What are they?" Laike scoffed at this and replied with
"In case you forgot My brother is probably on the trail to murder me…through no fault of his own…I have to find him before he hurts Zelda or himself but I can't do it alone …and…" once again her voice had trailed off and she had no further strength to continue with this petty conversation
"And…and what?" Raul questioned
"Nothing…just go back to the castle…" she responded turning her head towards the castle
"I want to know! Why did you save my life? I was a traitor" his eyes glinted dying moon, awaiting the sun to take it's place, Laike turned to look at him and said
"Because you were tricked through no fault of your own…I felt scared…I know how it feels to loose one's family…for a decade of my life I didn't know that people remembered me in Skyloft…" a tear trickled down her cheek and Raul rubbed it away Laike placed a hand on his and wanted to move away but then again she felt safe…
"thank you…for spearing me…" he said but before the words came out Laike had hugged him and wasn't about to let go, the redness crept into his ivory cheeks, he didn't know wether to stay there or not…
"Aw you two love birds…come on the army is waiting" said a sleepy Zelda…
