"We pulled to a slow stop at the Castletown Station. The town was fine. All the buildings were in their places, untouched. It was, though, oddly quiet. Peaceful. Empty. The winds blowing in the silent town brought back memories of when I had a famil...
The column of light surrounding us slowly started to open, showing us a peaceful place. The sky was far below us, the island appeared as a temple entrance (being made of rock and possibly metal), and it was placed in the sky so perfectly the sun always appeared as an early sunrise, never moving in the sky. The sight caused many memories to come back to me about the times I had with my friends and the times I would have with Sara. It filled me with determination.
"What is this place?" everyone asked.
"Not even you sages have been here?" I asked them, turning around to talk to them.
"No, I haven't," each took a turn saying.
"This, my dear friends, is the Sacred Realm."
"Are you sure this is it?" Lily asked.
"I am, indeed, sure."
"Then where's the Triforce?" I turned back around and saw nothing. As I gazed at the sunrise, a magic crystal staircase slowly faded into being at the very end of the island. I looked up the stairs. Phew, that's a lot of stairs to climb, I thought to myself.
"It's up there," I said, pointing all the way to the top, "Now we must hurry! Come along." I started dashing up the stairs as fast as I could. I felt a snap of energy that made me feel I could run as far and as long as I wanted, so I kept running, hastening with every step I took. Soon enough, I was running faster than ever. Fourty miles. Fifty. Sixty. Then one hundred. Two hundred. Three hundred. Eventually, I felt no resistance from the air and winds as I approached a speed beyond compare. From there, it took a mere few seconds for me to almost be at the top.
As I started to slow, I began to feel the pain of the air smacking me here, punching me there, and kicking me elsewhere, giving me memories of the pain my family had to undergo and endure as they became limp and, soon enough, lost their lives. I pushed through it in agony and determination, other bits of emotions now showing themselves to me quite clearly. I finally made it to the top and saw the sacred relic in its resting place. A few moments later, everyone else appeared beside me.
"So, this IS the Sacred Realm," I heard Impa confirm to herself.
"If I am to take the Triforce of Courage, and Zelda were to take the Triforce of Wisdom, whom shall take the Triforce of Power?" I asked.
"You should," Keturah responded.
"Right now, I feel as if I would misuse both the pieces," I replied.
"I shall take it then," Aalish replied, "You two retrieve your pieces first." With that, Zelda and I, the pain and agony of our families behind us, walked to the Triforce first.
"Laides first," I said, stepping aside and motioning her to her piece.
"What? Are you scared?" she asked sarcastically.
"Okay then, I'll go first." I stepped up onto the pedestal and merely rested my hand upon the Triforce Piece. It shrunk to approximately the size of a half-dollar coin and imbedded itself into my right hand. I now felt an amazingly strong and rather strange energy flowing through my veins. Zelda retrieved her piece, and we backed away from the Triforce. Aalish walked up to it as Zelda and I stopped at our group. She reached her hand to touch it but disappeared before she could.
"He is here," I said. All of us unsheathed our swords and steadied ourselves. One by one, each of the sages, fairies, and Impa (Lily) disappeared. "Why do they need to be gone?" I asked Addanc.
"Why are you asking me?" replied he, an evil grin plastered upon his face. I quickly unsheathed my sword, swung around, and kicked Dark Zelda to the ground. "I see you understand well the words of old." Now, I could see the difference clearly. I looked Dark Sara straight in the eye and scolded, "I'm only going to ask once. Where are they?" She stood before me, her Rapier glowing with dark energy at the ready, not speaking a word. "Don't like to talk much, do you?" I still received no response. "Neither do I." Before I could move, I was snapped into the white abyss room, given a shield with a blue background and other designs (as depicted below), and faded back to Dark Zelda, shield in hand.

At that instant moment, my shield was hit with a ball of dark energy that sent me to the ground.
I immediately stood and readied myself. She sent more balls of dark energy whistling through the air as I absorbed them with my shield. I took one step closer to her every time she hurled dark energy at me. Soon, I knocked her back and began a melee fight. For about one minute we fought, clanking metal here, a punch thrown there, and a kick flung here. I eventually found a weakness as a ball of dark energy caused my shield to come out of my hand. Soon after, another ball came hurling at me, so I put my sword between it and I. It bounced off my sword and flew back to Dark Sara. Once it hit her, she fell to the ground but bounced back up immediately. She shot another ball forwards, but this one had a game coming its way. Clink. Clank. Clink. Clank. Clink. Clank. Every time a blade smacked it towards the opposite direction, it traveled faster. Eventually, Dark Sara was not quick enough for her own attack. Her own energy, at the end of her trying to contain it, killed her, spreading her blood, flesh, and bones all around. Some of it splattered onto me and disappeared.
"Now, Addanc," I aggressed, "What happened to them?! Where did they go?!"
"They are gone," he replied, rather calm, "That's all you need to know." With a snap of his fingers, he disappeared.
