Laike's ivory cheeks now became a ruby red…love birds? She wasn't sure. The two "love birds" walked over to the Goron army awaiting to walk another batch of miles to their next destination…their final destination the tribe of Zoras…maybe then they stood a chance of beating the darkness
"The king's volcano doesn't like him today" Laike laughed but not for long as she saw the white tunic and the overly exaggerated green and grey blades snaking their way around each other. He wasn't alone minators, demons, gremlins, orcs, and Thunderhead soldiers all waiting for their piece of Laike and her 'army'
"Zelda know that what we do now…is for the good of this world…"
There was no time for an order…they just had to scrambled for their weapons Laike had no time to think she just went into battle forgetting who she was fighting her sword drawn any opposition she came across she slashed aiming to run for Deity… she raised her blade up high ready for battle when all of a sudden Dark's blade stopped her in her tracks they clashed blades when all of a sudden Raul clashed blades with Dark Link and they carried on the battle else where.
"Link stop this!" an orc swung an axe at Laike but she slashed her sword at him getting her brother's attention
"What did you say when I was taken?" his actions never changed he drew his mighty sword that cut through the air, Laike had to counter
"Tell me! I know there is still good in you…you just have to find it…"
"This is my true power! I do not answer to scum like you!" his sword swung again missing by a millimetre
"Scum? Look who is talking…look at what you have become!" her sword clashed with his sword yet again she didn't want to harm him
"Look! You have made your loved ones scared and you yourself have succumbed to the darkness locked away!"
Deity was getting more agitated with every word she spoke
"You don't understand anything!" he exclaimed a flicker of blue came to his white eyes
"I don't know anything? That darkness…is the stuff I was born with, I know what pain is, I know what lust it comes with and I know that humans can't use it properly!" her sword barely missed his shoulder, his eyes flickered again but for longer and just kept repeating
"Fight it…lock it away…and keep it there!" she encouraged for the human Link whose presence was felt more strongly by now
"What is my name!" she screamed getting more agitated with every withering attack
"No….Argh!" the deity dropped his sword and clutched his head and shook violently
Laike turned away to battle some more orcs when she heard
"Laike…I said Laike" she turned around to see the oceanic blue eyes and the golden brown hair she wanted to hug him for overcoming the darkness but didn't as another orc made his way to a painful death
"Have you seen Aryll?" Laike shook her head
"Not so far" an orc made his way to Link but Laike violently raised her hand and shadow shot out reaching his heart
"Where is Zelda and…Raul your 'friend'" still pushing back the orcs Laike replied with
"Battling…we should split up…if you find Aryll give her memories to focus on!"
Link pondered her answer about lust and how humans can't use it properly what did she mean? The two siblings split up battling the opposition Gorons rolled into balls and charged into attacks squashing goblins with their mighty strength.
Gorons loaded catapults and flung each other into battle.
Laike still fended off the goblins attacking her finally making her way to Aryll…the demon snarled at Laike…if she had to, she had to she grabbed an axe from a dead orc and swung both weapons at her demented niece their weapons clashed Laike crossed both her weapons across Aryll's neck barely missing. Just then a dark shadow leapt across their heads and Link rushed in with Zelda and Fi by his side a four on two battle to the death…
"Laike…go find Raul…give me the axe…I'll sort this imp out!" Laike handed Link the axe and left to find Raul
"Raul?" Laike said hitting a goblin in the back there were too many of them she had to take to the skies in a cloud of shadow smoke she transformed herself into phoenix and took to the skies her wings began to burn a dark blue light, the fires swarmed all around her feathery body she dived into the battle setting goblins alight in the murky smoke she saw a struggling man being attacked from all angles she dived again dodging arrows and landed on a goblin's face scratching with her talons allowing the man to counter attack she fell to the ground, wings spread, her talons scratched across the hard ground and then came her mighty roar that sent the goblins flying off into the distance. The man came up to the bird and stroked her head feathers. Laike transformed into her human form, nodded and went into the attack…
Meanwhile
"Your…weak…" Dark Link flicked his tongue at Zelda, she grimaced in disgust and raised her sword skyward… and brought it down onto Dark Link
"You corrupted my daughter!" she screamed taking a glance at her child
"I didn't do anything…it was all her…ah, Laike didn't tell you the true legend?" he pulled off a sly smile and started to battle again Link attacked and missed Dark Link and nearly hit his daughter.
They began to dual again. Both demons snarled as they saw Raul enter the picture with a crossbow he fired it, the notch hit Dark Link's shoulder allowing time for a swift kick in the stomach.
"You imp!" Dark Link spluttered and carried on "Your parents deserved to die, rather than to see you turn against your leader!" Raul scoffed and said
"The only leaders here are these people…" he slashed his sword at Dark again Aryll attacked again but was deflected by Link...Raul looked behind his shoulder and so did Link they both nodded and attacked with all their might they moved in almost synchronised patterns. A great roar was heard in the distance, the phoenix! An orc spotted her and aimed his crossbow and…Fire!
The was a whimper of pain but she carried on creating a ball of black fire and rolled along the ground heading to the orc that had shot the notch and with her great talons gave all her might!
She rolled on the ground, changed into a human and drew her sword going for an attack on Dark Link her attacks became more ferocious amking it harder for Dark Link to evade them, even with an arrow in her shoulder she still fought on becoming more infuriated until…Dark Link stumbled and Laike bared his sword, he fell to the ground pleading for mercy…but Laike had none…and so ended his life with a final blow… the orcs, goblins and Thunderhead soldiers fell to the ground and turned to dust… Laike stood up and looked towards her brother…he held his lifeless daughter close until she too disappeared…
"Where did she go?" he asked tears gushed down his face Laike closed her eyes and said
"She liked the darkness too much to let go of it…and so, by the goddesses decree, was taken with it…" Raul stood next to her and removed the arrow…
