Twilight Aftermath

Chapter 20: The Cursed Desert

We had left and were close to the blocked entrance in Faron where we found two Hylian Knights in the distance. I saw that they had transported the cannon as Zelda commanded. When we came, it was awfully silent. Zelda yelled; "fire!!" and the barrier was destroyed. On the other side was a horde of enemies who charged at us almost immediately. "Fire!!!" Zelda commanded again. The metal cannonball burst through numerous enemies. The sound of broken bones surrounded us. It was scary the amount of power Zelda had. That is what you get for messing with the Royal Family, I suppose. There were a few final stragglers. I was about to withdraw my sword when Darbus and Ralis showed up out of nowhere and gave us a very powerful and majestic show. "We're here" Ralis said. "Now let's stomp on them and never stop!" Darbus shouted. With Darbus, Gor Coron stood. "Now, it is time to vanquish the monsters who encroached our land." Zelda nodded. "Thank you for being here, now, let us go."

The desert was arid, as I expected but one thing remained clear. It was of a dubious nature. The sand's colour was darker than one would think. It was quite the contrast comparing it to the clear sky above. Toil remained here as a ghost from long past. You could see it. Zelda climbed the first dune. She could see Sandrekta Fortress in the distance but it was going to take quite a while to get there. She turned around and announced; "this will be a long and treacherous journey but each and every one of you has a purpose for being here. One main purpose. It's the wish to make Hyrule a safe place once more. As you stand with me today, a darkness festers within this land. With the powers of Forest, Fire, Water and Shadow at our side, we will bewilder our foes, we will let them see strife as we march through this desert."

Her speaking was glorious. I can see why Hylians admire her but alas, she had forgotten bone thing, that thing was the Triforce of Wisdom she held on her hand. I've always known that she garnered a power to seal away the darkness. To be a leader for her people in much strife was difficult. I too would shudder under the possibility.
