Sono Hanbaira Twilight Princess – Chapter 17

And we´re back at a dungeon...yay? ._.

Have fun reading...

After a good rest, me and Midna made our way through the desert.

It was a good thing that we already knew where the dungeon was.

But there was still one problem left.

Just before the dungeon was a big camp with archers looking around.

Nanami:,,I don´t see any ways to sneak in. Seems we have to fight them.´´

Midna:,,You´re right. Well, good luck.´´

She just vanished again and left me alone.

A lot of those creatures were on towers, so I got my bow and shot them down.

All of them were beaten after one shot.

The, my next problem showed up.

The gate was locked and I didn´t have a key.

So I looked around an saw a boar eating it´s food.

Maybe I could ride it and come through the gate with it.

Hmm...

Well, what could possibly go wrong?

I gently sat down on the boar and it automatically began to run.

It was really difficult to control the animal, but I could do it of I concentrated.

We broke down the gate, a few towers and a few enemies.

When we finally reached the entrance of the dungeon, there were wood fences arounf the room.

The boar could go away again and left me alone.

I couldn´t reach the entrance because of ther fences, so something should happen, right?

Midna:,,Hey, why are you just standing around?´´

Nanami:,,The fences are blocking the way into the dungeon, so something has to happen.´´

Midna was waiting with me, but it didn´t took long before a part of the fence was broken down by a big goblin who was riding his own boar.

He had two shields and one big ax.

That thing just looked at me before he got into a fighting position.

Midna:,,You have to beat him to get the keys, I think.´´

Nanami:,,Yes. Good that I learned a few things from The Hero of Time.´´

I got my sword and was ready to beat it.

The fight was nothing special.

He always blocked my attacks with his shields, but sometimes I got him when i rolled through it´s legs and slashed my sword against his back.

After I got him again, I was hit by his ax and nearly flew away.

Great, now I had new scars coming.

I didn´t want to do this any longer, so I moved before him and got ready tp attack again.

But just when I wanted to move again, he slashed the ax against me and I got unconscious.

The next thing I knew was that I was back at the room where I learned the secret attacks.

Why was I here again even though I didn´t howl anything?

I didn´t have to wait long for an answer, because The Hero of Time appeared before me.

Hero:,,So, you´re back again. You missed one of the howling stones, so you couldn´t learn your next lesson. So, I just used my power again to summon you. I will show you an attack you can beat your current enemie with.´´

Nanami:,,That sounds perfect. So, what do I have to do?´´

Hero:,,I will teach you the helm splitter. It is impossible to circle around and perform a back slice against fully amored enemies that move swiftly in combat. Against such foes, you must first use a shield attack to make them flinch, but then quickly leap into the air over the enemie´s head and greet them with your blade by immediately striking from behind.´´

He used his shield, leaped into the air and striked his sword.

Alright, now it was my turn.

I didn´t get it on the first try, but it wasn´t easy to make all moves right.

After another speech from the Hero and another 2 tries, I finally got it.

Hero:,,Very good. Now, you shall go back into your world and do your task. Your friend is waiting for you to get up. Good luck.´´

I bowed to him before I woke up on the ground and was greeted my Midna´s worried face.

Midna:,,You suddenly fell down and you were hurt. Are you ok?´´

I just nodded and got back to the goblin.

We were hiding behind a wall, but i wanted to end this fight now.

The goblin saw me and moved to me.

Before he could do anything, I shocked him by using my shield, jumped into the air, slashed away his helmet and attacked his back.

Thisfinally got him and a key fell down from his little pocket on his waist.

I took it, thanked the goblin and made my way to the entrance where I used the key.

Midna:,,Well we finally did it. Welcome to Arbiter´s Grounds.´´

Somehow, I was very proud of me.

But there was no time for that right now.

I had to find the mirror to finally get Zanto out of the way.

He always came at a bad timing and crushed my hopes.

Midna flew above me and together we went in.

The entrance hall was small and the first room was only a few meter away.

Everywhere I looked was sand.

Or maybe just quicksand?

I tested it with a rock I threw in the sand.

A few seconds later, the stone was gone.

Midna:,,And how are you going to get through?´´

I looked around and saw my surroundings.

On the quicksand were a few broken stones that were big enough to walk on.

On the right wall was a grid where I could use my hookshot.

That plan had to work, so I took my hookshot and stood on the stones.

I walked on them until I got to the other side, where I saw a chain I had to pull to open the door.

The next room was big and had 2 different ways.

I looked around and saw a big bowl filled with oil for my lamp.

I filled it to the top and looked around once more.

The second way was leading to a small box.

Maybe something like a key?

I ran to the box, opened it and found a small key.

That would be really helpful for the one door that kept starring at me and mocking me.

But when I just wanted to get there, little bugs came crawling from the ground and attacked me.

Good that I wasn´t a big sissy like other girls when it came to bugs.

It was really difficult do beat little bugs with a big sword, so I just ran for my life and opened the door.

This room was really dark, so I had to turn on my lamp.

Everything seemed to be empty, nothing was here.

Midna:,,Watch where you´re going. I sense danger, even though it´s completely empty.´´

I nodded and slowly began to walk through the room.

But Midna was right, danger came in the form of little skeletons.

Why was everything little in this dungeon?

They had little sowrd and wanted to attack me, bit I got away with my spin attack.

I ran to the end of the room, lit two torches and got to the next room.

Everything was dark again, but not empty.

At the end of the room, where a big door was, were four big torches with different kind of flame colours.

But that didn´t last long, because ghosts came behind me.

Nanami:,,Oh god, are these ghosts?!´´

Midna:,,Seems so...Doesn´t really surprise me, these ruins are really old.´´

Nanami:,,You say it like it´s the most normal thing in the world!´´

Midna just grinned and hid in my shadow again.

The ghosts began to take the flames and just disappeared with them.

Do i have to fight ghosts now?!

And that would be it for now :3

Hope you all liked it :D
