Link's orb was glowing green, that was a signal from Rauru. The Forest Temple was in trouble. One of the seven wizards he had been warned of must be attacking. His new necklace could get him there in a flash. First he would have to get Knil though, he wasn't sure were to find Zak or Aloc though.
Link pulled out his magic stone. "Lon Lon Ranch," he said. In a flash of light he disappeared and reappeared at the ranch. Using the stone felt like when he warped using the Ocarina of Time. Knil was sitting against the barn. Link had appeared on top of the house. He had to remember to be more specific next time.
"Hey Knil!" he said lowering himself with the hookshot. "We got trouble." He grabbed Knil on the shoulder and transported to the Sacred Forest Meadow.
A man was sitting on the stump where Saria usually sat. He had an orange cloak covering his face. Link heard him muttering some magic words.
"Better not let him finish," Link said charging. He swung his sword and tore the cloak to shreds, but the man inside escaped. He was now standing in front of the Forest Temple entrance. Link looked at him. He wore a pair of orange shorts, torn at the bottom, he didn't wear shoes or a shirt and had semi muscular build. His head was bald except for his blonde eyebrows, and his eyes were blue.
"Greetings, you must be Link, the hero who dresses in green. My name is Magnus, and I just thought of an easier way to stop you from entering the temples. Now hold still." Magnus formed a fireball in his hands and flung it at Link. Link moved to the left and jumped at Magnus again. He swung, but Magnus jumped again. He flew twenty feet into the air. Magnus made another fireball as he fell down, but Knil hit him in the head with his slingshot, causing it to disappear. Magnus snarled and decided to take out Knil first.
He landed on his feet and didn't waste any time. He immediately sent a stream of fire at Knil, who was standing on the on the warp point. (The place you go when you play the Minuet of Forest.) Knil ran to his right, but the fire was like a snake and followed him. "Damn," he said changing directions again. It still followed him. Link charged at Magnus, but the snake quickly turned and aimed at Link, who was forced to flip backwards. Knil charged at Magnus now, but another snake appeared and went at him. Now both Link and Knil were dodging fire snakes, luckily nothing caught fire in the meadow.
Now that they were distracted Magnus could take out the temple entrance. He leaped onto the ledge and held up his hands. Fireballs formed in his palms. He began to chant again. Finished his chant and put the two fireballs together. "Now to finish the job- AAAAAAAAHHH!" In a flash of steel Magnus no longer had a right hand. The fire ball disappeared, and Magnus fell in a pool of his own blood. He looked into the tree behind him and saw Link standing on the branch. Link pointed to something behind Magnus so Magnus turned his head. His own fire snake came flying at him, slamming into his face. He blacked out afterwards.
When he was knocked out his snakes disappeared. Knil stopped running about and joined Link on the ledge.
"What do we do with him?" Knil asked. "I think we should leave him to die."
"No, I know what to do with him," Link replied.
Magnus's arm (stump) had been bandaged, and he was now sitting unconscious in Hyrule Field, near the ranch. Link had his gem in one hand and the other was on Magnus's shoulder.
"The coldest place in the world," he said. In a flash of light he and Magnus appeared in the middle of a snow storm. The snow on the ground was up to Link's waist and it was really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really cold. Link quickly teleported back, leaving Magnus in the cold.
He reappeared in his room at the castle. Zelda was there waiting for him.
"So where did you end up?" she asked.
"I don't know," he responded, "but it was really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really cold, and snowy, like a blizzard. It's definitely nowhere near Hyrule. His fire powers should keep him alive though." He sat down on his bed. Zelda sat next to him and put her head on his shoulder. She felt safe now, she knew that six more crazy Ganondorf-following wizards were out there, but still, when she was here, with Link, she knew she was safe. Link just sat there, wondering why she had her head on him, and why she had that goofy smile.
