Ciela is leading me throughout this stupid cave, and we haven't found anything yet.
"It's just around this corner!" she exclaims.
I pull myself up on the rock trying my best to keep up, "You've been saying that for the past five cor-" We feel vibrations of a deep growl off the cave around us. A skeleton with a helmet, sword, and shield steps into Celia's light.
"Those are yours!" She screams. I just scream and let go of the rock. Ciela turns, lighting my escape route.
"What the fuck is that thing?!"
Now it's chasing after us. I'm more likely to die.
"A baddie!" Ciela screams. She floats over a rock that I'll have to climb.
"I don't know!" I jump up and pull myself onto the rock, my ankle barley missing the skeleton's sword. "He looks like a nice guy to me!"
We continue down the cave until we come to a dead end.
"Oh, no..." Ciela flies around the edges of the wall, looking for a way out.
I hit the wall of rock with my hand. I turn around; the skeleton is right there, his shield up and sword raised.
"Fuck, I'm going to die."
"Throw the rocks!" Ciela flies down near my knees to better light little rocks on the ground.
"These are barely pebbles!" But I pick them up, anyways.
"Throw them in his eyes!" His ugly skull eyes were just red orbs. Red orbs of sparking death.
"That's not going to kill him!" But I throw them anyways.
I got one in his eye and he screams, reaching the shield arm up to it.
"Grab his sword!" Ciela yells to me. I yank it out of his hand. Or so I tried. His whole arm came with it. I pried his arm away and threw it down. It grabbed onto my leg.
"HOLY HELL!" I thrash my leg around, trying to free it off an arm.
"LOOK!" Ciela bounces. I look up and the skeleton guy had his arm back. I squealed about eight octaves too high. Ducking under the shield was easier than I thought it would be. I stood up then brought my arm back. Out of pure reflex I cut his head right off. The two pieces of him fell onto the floor.
The only sound in the tunnel was my heaving breathing. Ciela flew over to my shoulder.
The skeleton's eyes were now empty and orb-less... I lowered my sword so it touched the ground. I turned and looked at the shield. Taking it in my hands, I realized there was a weird design on it.
Ciela nodded, "It is you, Link," but somehow, I believed her this time.

FanficLink has woken up and doesn't know who he is, where he his or why he’s there. He and Ciela go through the temple which had “killed” him originally, but this time will they actually make it through or will Link "die" again? Cover was very beautifully...
