                  Link awoke on the floor of the cobblestone cell. What had happened again? Ah, yes, He was walking through the woods till' he got mollywhopped in the back of the head. A stealthy move but a cowardly one at that. 

                  He rubbed the back of his bruised neck as he looked around the room. He knew this was one of Ganon's castle cells. It was obvious because of the desert cloth hanging on the wall and the two Gerudo woman posted at the door. His chains clattered as he ached to stand up. He checked his body for a weapon. 

                   The Gerudo had taken his weapons and supplies. He sighed as he sat back down before a clunk was heard. The wooden door of the prison opened up as a tall, muscular but feminine, Gerudo walked in. Her hair was red and her eyes were a golden brown. Her lips were full and were painted a pastel pink while her eyelids were tinted purple.

                  "Hello, Nabooru." he smiles. "Hero." she merely acknowledges. She gestures to the two guards as they unlock his cell door. "Ya'know we ought to stop meeting like this." he chuckles, as the Gerudo unlock his chains and grab his arms. "Perhaps indeed." she answers as they hoist him up. His feet drag across the floor as they carry him out. 

                   "I'm capable of walking myself!" he warned. Nabooru blew air. "Lord Ganondorf is not a patient man. Let's not keep him waiting any longer." she gestured. He collected his feet that dragged on the ground as he hummed politely in thanks. 

                   "Save it for the master." she remarks.  

                   They walked for what seemed like an endless amount of halls before they reach two large doors. Nabooru knocks twice as a grunt answered from inside. The doors open as Link is walked into a large throne room. A large red rug is protruded out from the throne to the entrance. Link is met with none other than his rival and enemy, Ganondorf Dragmire, sitting on the glistening throne. 

                  His eyes were a sun orange, as his skin was a dark olive green. His hair was red like flames as it stuck out where it was not smoothed down. He was muscular in build and tall in stature seeing that he was about 7'6" when standing. His eyes were almost always narrowed and he never smiled.

                   "Ganondorf..." Link glowered. Ganon cleared his throat. Everyone in the room took a bowing stance on their knee. Before Link could react, he was shoved down into the ground as his face met the red carpet (I've been there buddy). Ganon's hand waved his hand calmly as everyone stood up, except for Link. "Alright Hyrule's savior, I'll get straight to the point, seeing that both of us have things to do." Ganon said. Link glared at him. "Wow, for a desert tribe of savages that's pretty formal of you!" he said sarcastically. 

                   Ganon's index and thumb rubbed against each other as he did not take heed to Link's insult. Link felt the room's aura darken seeing that the female's clearly did not like his remark. 

                   "Lets get to the point. Where are the last pieces?" Ganon asked, his arms resting on his legs in a hunched interrogative stance. 

                    "The last pieces of what?" Link asked.

                    "Don't play dumb! You know what, the last pieces of the Triforce! Where is it?!" he snapped. Link sat still, letting his words soak in. The last pieces? He already knew Princess Zelda had Wisdom and Ganondorf had Power, he also knew one was in his own possession as well. But other pieces? What did he mean by that? 

                     "Wait...you don't know?" Ganon stopped. 

                      Link looked up. "Know what?" Link asked.

                      Ganon folded his hands. "My mothers' informed me they had discovered that there was more than three pieces to the Triforce." he answered. Link's eyes widened, 

                       'That's why the Triforce never fully granted Ganon's wish.' he thought. "What pieces are left?" Link asked, still bewildered by such a discovery. Ganon hummed. "The middle and the outline." Ganon answered. Link exhaled. 

                        "I was thinking that the rumors would spread like a wildfire, but I suppose my assumption was incorrect." he answered.

                        "Why did you tell me about this? It would have made it harder for me to find out." Link asked.

                        Ganon looked down. "I honestly thought you knew about it. I see now that I had made a  mistake." he confessed. Link chuckled. "The great Ganondorf Dragmire admitting his fault? My day had gone better than expected!" he hummed happily. 

                         Ganon glared, "Silence!" he snapped. Ganon looked like he was about to blow a hole in Link before a soft knock was heard at the door. 

                          "Why now?!" Ganon hissed. 

                          "Fine then! I can give these Poes to someone else!" a muffled voice yelled from outside.  

                          Ganon stopped before chuckling. He actually chuckled!

                          "Come in, Darkmoia." he answered. Half of the door creaked open as a girl popped through, holding a staff. 

                         As she came through the door, Link noticed another taller girl behind her, they were holding hands. By the way the taller one walked and stumbled, it was obvious she was blind. She walked up to the throne and stood about respectively 8 feet from it as she let go of the taller girl's hand. 

                         She pulled the ginormous backpack off her as she went through it. 

                         She then pulled out a good 20 mason jars or more holding dark misty matter, passing most of them to the blind girl. As Link looked closer he realized they were Poes! Dozens of them crammed into jars! The girl dusted her hands off. Ganon hummed. "I really wished you could've come at a better time." he answered. She put her hands on her hips. "Nothing gets in the way of me and my rupees!" she answered.

                          Ganon turned his head to the taller one. "How are you, Akari?" he asked. Link could've sworn the taller girl's smile lit up the whole room. The taller one stumbled as she reached her hand out to him. He took it as her fingers caressed his calloused ones. "I'm doing good, lord Ganon. How are you?" she said, as it almost sounded like a whisper. He squeezed her hand. "I've been worse." he answered. She let out a small 'oh' as the other one cleared her throat. "AHEM! Mister Ganon? The rupees?" Darkmoia nagged. 

                           He sighed "It's always straight to the point with you." he answered, snapping his fingers. A guard carried in a hefty sack of rupees as the Darkmoia's eyes glittered. The one called Akari turned around. "I sense another presence here." she said. 

                           She took small stumbling strides over to Link as she felt the ground. Her hand wormed it's way to his arm as it went to his face. Link met her white eyes with his blue ones. It almost looked like she was observing him. Her face was covered with freckles and her eyelashes were long and thick. Her hair was long, wavy, and black with a wreath of flowers decorating it. Her lips were perfectly symmetrical and beautiful. She looked vaguely familiar to Zelda. 

                           "Oh, your very handsome! What's you name?" she purred happily. Link's eyes widened as a blush tinted his face. "L-Link." he answered. Her smile made him want to grin. "I've met you before! Haven't we, sister?" she said looking straight forward, waiting for Darkmoia to answer. Darkmoia turned her head as her half lidded eyes opened a little wider. "N-no, I don't think we have." she stuttered.
