Chapter 16: Betrayal

Green: I felt the sword of the knight slice my tunic scratching the skin beneath it. I can't beat him like this, the hallway is too small. My only choice is to run for now and maybe I can get him to follow me to a bigger area. I dodged another lethal blow before running down the dark halls as fast as I could. 

Knight: Your life ends here!

Green: Dead end! I spin around in time to catch his blow to the chest. It knocked the wind out of me and I hit the back wall hard. I didn't give myself much time to recover and I had to think fast before I was completely screwed.  I jumped off the wall, giving me extra power in my strike and I aimed for his sword arm. The blow made contact and I felt the blade cut through his arm. 

Knight: Ghaahh! 

Green: I hit another wall and did the same attack. Dodging his powerful swings was hard but he became predictable while I was able to adapt my attacks to how he moved. I aimed for a chink in his armor near the hamstring and put all of my strike force towards it. This blow also connected and my sword glowed with the power of the other four as I prepared my finishing attack.

Knight: NO! AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Green: I watched in surprise as a black smudge melted from the knight's body. Before me lay a knight of Hyrule. One of the protectors of our kingdom. "How? How did you get here?"

Knight: "The last thing I remember is protecting the princess. I failed to protect her worse yet I have disgraced our kingdom by falling into darkness. I beg you... to finish me."

Green: I sheath my sword. "If what you say is true then our kingdom needs it's knights more than ever."

Knight: I stood, "Then take this, her highness had me protect this from Ganon. It will give your strength."

Green: I looked at the stone and nodded. It was a Pearl of Light! 

Knight: Do not use it, however, this pearl will act as your final hope against the darkness. 

Green: I nodded, "Return to the castle and help the people. I- we will rescue the princess and save Hyrule but we can't do that while worrying about the citizens." We parted ways and I continued to run through the tunnels I would find a way out of here and to my brothers.

(Time skip Blue and Red finally found their way out of the cave system.)

Blue: I stretch and smile a bit. "Finally! I am so glad that we are out of that stupid cave!"

Red: Let's hurry and find Vio, Green, and Opal!

Miss Fairy: Don't forget you have to save the world too Hero Red. That is very important.

Blue: I looked around and there was a large mansion-like structure in the distance. The earth here was dry and cracked from the lack of water. Though it wasn't a desert because there was still grass and a few trees. "Let's check out that building maybe someone can give us directions or better yet maybe we can find Green or Vio."

Red: "Okay!" I skipped happily ahead of Blue with Miss Fairy following behind me. 

Blue: Something didn't feel right when we walked up to the mansion. But I shook off those feelings as a purple figure came out to greet us.

Red: Vio! I shouted and ran over to hug my purple clad brother. 

Vio: I patted Red on the back and smiled. "It is good to see you two in fine health."

Blue: You too Vi, have you seen Green?

Vio: I looked down, my hair covering my eyes. "He didn't make it.... I found his body a few days ago."

Red: "W-What? Vio you don't mean..." My eyes watered and I clenched Vio's shirt tighter.

Blue: "Your lying! He would never die! Not like that, not when we need him!"

Vio: I pushed the door open more revealing a coffin and Green's sword placed on it, in the middle of the dark house. "See for yourself." 

Red: I sobbed and ran into the room mumbling over, and over again. "He can't be gone. Please! He can't be gone." I collapsed near the coffin shaking and crying.

Miss Fairy: "I'm sorry Hero Red," I said landing on his shoulder trying to comfort him.

Blue: I walked into the room slowly my face full of unbelief. "He wouldn't... that idiot!" I smashed my hand on the coffin's roof. It opened slightly and inside I saw in horror a bloody and mangled body. I nearly threw up and I looked back in fear as Red's face went from pain to terror.

Red: No, no, no, no, he- can't leave. Not without... saying goodbye." My face went pale and I reached a shaking hand into the coffin to hold Green's hand hoping for any kind of warmth. But I in shock I found nothing. I looked down tears running down my face as my hand went straight through Green's body. I gasped in surprise.

Blue: I stared down and processed what I just saw. I felt my blood boil. "Vio! What is this?!!" I turn and he was already gone I heard him eerily chuckle. The room suddenly went cold with the doors melting into the walls. 

Red: I trembled with fear still sobbing as I edged closer to Blue who drew his sword.

Blue: A ghostly scream echoes off the walls. "Who's there? Show yourself!" A shadowy shape crept behind us. 

Big Poe: Your death shall be my pleasure. 

Blue: I whirl around in shock. Red still clinging to me, frozen in horror. 

Big Poe: DIE! 

Blue: It started sucking me towards it and I felt Red's grip loosen on me.

Just a little more I thought as I held the four small dragons in my hands. They started heating the bars so that slowly they would be hot enough to bend.  I shakily pulled apart the bars with a bit of cloth I had found. There, friends, you can get out this way. Head to the outside! Please be careful. I smiled as they chirped and flew quickly away. The sound of heavy footsteps echoed towards me and I shuddered in fear clutching the remaining eggs to my chest. They shouldn't have to be held captive like me. I would free them, they should find out for themselves how fresh the air is out there.
