The eye glared at us menacingly. A moment of dreadful silence surrounded us as the eye looked at each of us. The ground started to shake as Morphantic erupted from the sand below. It's jaws were horrifying. It has what appeared to have five rows of teeth. I do not want to be on the recieving part of that end. Ruto's eyes were squinting to see a gem on its stomach. She pointed at it. "Look there! That is it's weak point." I ducked out of the way as flash of white swam past me. That was close. Ruto waved to me to get my attention. "Callum, you'll have to act as a distraction for the beast to come along and bash it's head against the wall. It seems to like going at high speeds so we'll trick it into hurting itself." I nodded. Luckily, Morphantic's tail was nearby so I could slash at it. I with drew my sword and drove it in as deep as possible. It looked in my direction. "Hey, seafood!" It was angry. Morphantic clearly didn't like to be mocked. It came to bite me swiftly but I jumped out of the way in just the right time. When it fell to the ground the glass was cracked. I then helped Link in slashing at it's gem.

                                       Shad

They were doing a good job but it won't be long until Morphantic would get back up. The Zora warriors were jabbing at the glass. Only tiny shards came out. "Stop" Beth said. "You will not get very far doing that. We need to put a high amount of pressure on it for it to burst. Using my power as the Sage of Forest, I can summon giant tree trunks to destroy this aquarium completely." King Ralis was impressed. "Good work. How long will that take?" She thought for a moment. "Ten minutes, at the most. That thing isn't very smart but in the event it discovers what we are doing, then someone will have to distract it." She looked at the aquarium, closed her eyes and began focusing her power.

I felt shaking as I saw massive tree trunks surrounding the aquarium. Morphantic seemed to catch on but waited to strike them. That was when King Ralis ran around. Almost immediately, Morphantic focused on him and bashed it's head hard against the glass again. Predictably, it fell on the ground again. Link helped me slash at the gem and Ruto joined us. The water level lowered and the glass shattered completely. Allowing the water flow to cascade on the outside. I hoped Shad was good at swimming. Once the water disappeared, Morphantic lay there, helpless. Everyone went in on the onslaught and we finally slayed the beast. Shad came to hug me. We kissed, relieved to see that each other was OK. Ruto approached Ralis. "Fantastic work. You are more than deserving of my power as the Sage of Water." She disappeared into King Ralis. We had found a third sage.
