Cara, Ryan and Devon tried to help Joe, who was lying on the floor clutching his wound, trying to stop the flow of blood; his normal, brown eyes shifting in and out of focus. The Queen of Fairies quickly flew over and with a fairy touch stopped the flow, restored lost blood, and cleaned the scar that was now on his stomach. Zelda opened her eyes, her head against Link’s shoulder;

“Oh Link, this is Joe. He was the one who held your spirit while we all waited for you.”

“Thank you, friend for all these years,”

“Why me? Why did you or whoever choose me?”

“It wasn’t up to the Sages, me, Zelda or anyone. It was the choice of fate or whatever you believe in made.”

Zelda came up behind Link, placed her hands on his shoulders;

“Sorry about the stabbing, it was a Knife of Truth you see,” Zelda explained “It was the only thing that could reveal this truth,”

“Now we need to act Ganondorf has probably already felt the presence of the other Triforce pieces,” Link told everyone

“What are those?” asked Devon

“Basically, they are the most powerful magical objects in our world. I have the one of Courage, Zelda has the Triforce of Wisdom and Ganondorf has the Triforce of Power, and if Ganondorf gets all three we’re in big trouble. Queen of Fairies we need you to go back and get my army and the Sages so we can defeat Ganondorf for once and for all.”

“I fly as fast as I can, Hero,” and with that the Queen of fairies flew through the door.

“We want to fight too,” Ryan told Link

“No way this is to dangerous.”

“But that army killed our teacher and god knows who else,” Andy replied

“Yes but…”

“We can fight, we will fight and even if you did whatever you could to stop us we will still be there on the field of battle!” Devon said to Link, her gaze startling him. She used this look whenever she was angry and it unnerved the Hylian.

“Very well you can fight alongside my army,” Link said, shocked by this girl’s statement

“Not if I have my way,” said a voice filled with so much evil, hatred and want for vengeance that it turned a chilled person to his or her soul.

Everyone turned to see the evil king, Ganondorf; his eyes were burning amber, his sword gleaming with blood and his Triforce glowing on his hand. He let out a laugh an evil laugh that pierced the group’s hearts.

“No Sage is coming through that door.” And with that threat he lifted his hand and sent a great ball of light to the door turning it a deep black-purple colour. No-one could do anything to stop him.

“No Sage shall pass through this door,” And with one last, echoing evil laugh he disappeared.

“What will we do now? We don’t even have any weapons to fight with,” cried Rachel

“We still have to wait for the army,” said Joe with determination.

“Yes we must!” Link agreed

“But if the Sages can’t get through then we can’t we seal away Ganondorf!” Zelda reminded her husband.

“Can’t we kill him?” Andy asked

“Not while he has the Triforce of Power, it prevents his death from occurring.”

“Well that’s a bit unfair.”

Suddenly they were all caught by surprise as the Queen of Fairies came through the door and she wasn’t alone.

“None of the Sages could get through for some reason, but your army is here at your bidding.” Behind her a large army of people came out two by two, they were composed of the well known Hyrulian soldiers, the Gorons, the Zoras and the healing fairies. The soldiers wore armour which was as light as a feather but strong enough to take a cannonball hit and allowed much movement for sword strikes and for the usage of bows which were the main weapons of the army. They were well disciplined and were ready to die fighting for any just cause.

“Link!” said a small winged ball of light flying to the hero and circling him

“Navi!”

“Link I have brought this for you,” said Navi and using her fairy powers the Ocarina of Time floated from her to him.

“What’s this for Navi?”

“The sages of Hyrule cannot come here so they told me that you must awaken the sages of this world with the Oath to the Order of Sages.”

“We have not got time to go around the world looking for 8 people.” Link told Navi in a serious tone

“Try it; the sages said the other sages will be nearby.”

“All right, I’ll play the song.” Link played his song, Oath to the Order, it was a song he learned during his first adventure and he taught it to the sages of his land. Since then they have been using it to prove who they were and other such things, as the each of the notes grew stronger each time until the final one was almost deafening. As it touched the ears of those nearby a feeling came to the group members.
