The Legend of Zelda: Willow

 (Note: the storm scene was part of the movie but was cut out.)

Finally, early one morning they reached an abandoned fishing village on the shores of Lake Hylia. "OK." said Roam. "We got here but this is as far as I go."

"Thanks for your help Roam," said Willow.

The Fairies didn't agree. "What help?" said Tatl. "All he did was stay around and eat our eggs!" said Tael.

Roam picked up Elora. "If you really are a princess look out for them will you?" Elora smiled. Roam gave back Elora and flew off.

Link turned to the Fairies, "Willow can't swim so we'll take a boat to Mist Island. You watch Elora."

Navi responded "We'll guard her with our meager lives." So they rowed on to the mystic island were Sahasarala was held prisoner.

The island was very sad looking. Dead trees and bones were everywhere but it didn't seem Sahasarala was there. "Hello!"

"Sahasarala!" they cried out but one answered.

"He's not here," said Willow.

Suddenly a muskrat spoke to them. "Who are you?!"

"This is Link and I'm Willow Ulfgood. We've come looking for the sorcerer Sahasarala."

"That's me! I'm Sahasarala!" Link couldn't believe his ears.

"You're, Sahasarala?"

"One of Agahnim's spells transformed me. Believe me it could have been worse!"

Willow held up the wand. "So this is for you."

"So the prophecy is true, the princess has been born. Please take me to her."

Back in Darkmore Agahnim knew something was wrong. "So Sahasarala my old enemy you found a way to escape. Well my magic and the Aquator will take care of you!" He laughed as he sent storm clouds to Lake Hylia.

Back at Lake Hylia the weather took a turn for the worst. "Where did this storm come from?!" said Link.

"It's Aghanim's magic!" said Sahasarala. "He's trying to destroy us!"

"Everyone, hang on!" said Link. A large wave knocked the simple anchor overboard and the rope it tied to was wrapped around Willow's ankle dragging him under! "Willow!" shouted Link as tried to pull him back up.

Neither Willow or any of the Nelwin could swim, they depended on the River Running to water crops but also feared going near it. To the Nelwin being on a boat was considered insanity. "So why did I go to that blasted island?" Willow thought. The only reasons he could think of where His love for Elora or that he was a fool. He felt a tug on the rope he was tied to and knew Link was trying to pull him out.  "If only that anchor wasn't dragging me down."

Just then the tension eased and he was being pulled up faster. It seemed a miracle until he saw that something bit off the anchor. He looked around to see what could have done it. Then from underneath he saw it. The Aquator seemed to be a combination of everything dangerous that lived in water. It was controlled only by unending hunger and saw Willow as Its next meal. It reached out it's tentacles to pull him into its anglerfish-like mouth. (Pretty cool monster, huh?)

Willow tried fight but he was losing consciousness. "This is it. I'll never see any of them again. Elora, Kaiya, Mims, Ranon, Megosh, Link, the High Aldwin." Just then he remembered the magic acorns the High Aldwin gave him! He dropped one into Aquator's gapping mouth. The Aquator writhed letting Willow go, as its slimy blue skin turned gray and solidified. As Willow was being pulled up faster toward the surface he saw the statue of the beast hit bottom braking into a thousand pieces.

Willow coughed as Link pulled him into the boat. "Willow, you're alive!" said Link. "And I thought you were only bluffing about those acorns!"

Sahasarala spoke knowingly with joy in his eyes. "Superb! You used magic calmly under crisis, well done."
