The Wolves (Discontinued)

Chapter 11: The Baboon and the Boomerang

As soon as they both entered, the door behind them locked shut.

"Oh no..." Zelda backed up against the wall and looked around. There were huge pillars all over the small room, and a small hole in the wall, big enough for a monkey. As if on cue, the same baboon that had cut down the bridge the first time and almost killed the female monkey came sailing through the window. Gasping with shock, Zelda's eyes widened at the sight of the baboon holding a boomerang that was glowing with black light. The baboon shrieked and slapped its behind and started leaping from pillar to pillar occasionally stopping and taunting them.

"I think we have to roll into the pillars to knock him down," Zelda wondered aloud.

"Or we could... you know... just knock it down somehow," Link said smirking.

Zelda turned a deep shade of pink and replied, "Yeah... that makes more sense."

Laughing, Link shook his head and started to walk towards the circle of pillars. Just as he prepared to knock the monkey down, the baboon shrieked once again and aimed his boomerang at Link. Just as he hurled the boomerang at him, Zelda dashed forward and leapt in front of Link, allowing the boomerang to hit her instead of him. The boomerang continued on its path and slammed Zelda onto the wall before returning to its master. Groaning in pain, Zelda staggered up to her feet.

Link looked horrified and before the baboon could prepare to strike again, Zelda shouted weakly, "Hit him!"

Shaking his head, he roared and body slammed the pillar. Because he was pumped up with fury, the pillar fell onto the ground, taking the baboon with him. The baboon shrieked once again, but before it could get back onto its feet, Link slashed his forehead with his sword over and over again. The monkey screeched, and a curious bug that looked like a tear, only bronze with little green vines on it, fell off of its head. The bug curled up into a little ball and exploded. Just as Zelda staggered over, the baboon jumped back up, and gave out a surprised cry, and scratched his head. Crying out again, he hopped out the window, but forgot his boomerang. Suddenly, the boomerang came to life, and spoke into their minds.

"Thank you for saving me from that evil soul. I am the spirit of wind. That bug that took over the monkey was possessing him. Because you killed him, you freed me. Now, I will repay you. I will accompany you on your quest to save Hyrule. If you focus while holding me, I will summon a tornado to follow me on my path that you wish me to take. With my powerful winds, I could put out fires, turn propellers, and much more. It's all up to you. Your word is my command," the boomerang spoke.

"Th.. thanks," Zelda said weakly.

"Zelda.. you should go back and rest.." Link said trailing off.

"No! I... I can't leave you again... I need to stay with you..." Zelda's eyes rolled to the back of her head and she passed out.

"Zelda!" Link shouted, and caught her right before she passed out.

"Zelda what's wrong? Zelda!?" Link cried, starting to panic.

Midna came out of her shadow and said to him, "That boomerang injected a bad magic in her. She must be taken to a light spring."

"Ooccoo, can you please take us out of this temple, but stay in this room so we can come back?" Link asked, weakly.

Coming out of Zelda's pouch, Ooccoo replied, "Of course, Link! Ooccoo Jr., please take these young people out of the temple!"

Ooccoo Jr. came out of the pouch as well and teleported them to the entrance. Link snatched up a horseshoe root and whistled for Epona.

As Epona reached him, Link told Epona, "Quick! To Ordon Spring, and go as fast as you can!"
