[EDITING] The Legend of Zelda: Goddess of Secrecy

Mini Boss 14 - Dual-Bladed Nazirah Dragmire

            …to where Narizah stood there waiting for him. Link dismounted and faced the woman. The Gerudo stated, “You shouldn’t of come here, little Hero. But now I have no choice but to go against the Demon Lord’s wishes.”

            Narizah drew her blades, and took a stance. Link tightened his grip on his sword, and stepped into his ready stance as well.

            There was a chuckle. Link saw a shimmer appear in the air, before a form materialized between them. While the shawl had lengthened to half of a cape, it was still definitely Zeal standing between the two warriors. Zeal glanced at Narizah, “What are you planning to do?”

            “This isn’t your fight, creature,” Narizah retorted, branishing her blades towards the Drex.

            “Dear, the Hero is involved,” Zeal said, gesturing her arm towards Link. “It’s my fight alone.” Narizah grit her teeth, resisting some snide comment. Despite her blood ties, the Gerudo was lower than Zeal in Ganondorf’s eyes. Zeal turned towards Link. “Though, you have become a serious nuisance.”

            Link raised his sword a little higher, and hefted his shield up. Zeal chuckled as the wind tossed her short cloak. She stepped into the waving cloth and vanished. She reappeared behind Link, saying, “You’re quite the troublemaker for me.” Link jumped back, trying to keep his eyes on both of the women.

            Zeal sighed, placing her hand on her forehead. “I’m able to forgive the Goddesses’ Temple because it meant collecting that sword once more. But now…just ruining everything, running around, helping the Sages. Half of Din’s Power is against us now, after you rescued that little pirate. Can’t let you get the Spirit Temple now. Not that you have much time. Dabir isn’t strong enough to hold out on us much longer.”

            Narizah asked, “You’re telling me that weakling is the Spirit Sage?”

            “Yes,” Zeal replied, turning to Narizah. “What irony that. You did try to kill him after all, didn’t you? And now he’s more valuable than you too.”

            The Gerudo grumbled under her breath. Zeal went on, “But I do need to deal with what it appears you couldn’t, Narizah. Handle this one for me.” She lifted her hand and held her fingers together like she was going to snap. She stopped, “Oh, and to make sure you don’t botch this job too.”

            With a snap, the Drex vanished. A spark caught on one of Narizah’s blade. The steel blade caught fire. Narizah lifted up the sword, examining it. There was a crackling noise, and Narizah glanced down to her other sword. Ice climbed up along the blade, coating it in cold frost. She flourished the swords, testing their new weight. She pointed the flaming one towards Link. “It seems the odds of this battle have tipped into my favorite, little Hero.”

            Link held his sword up, watching the enchanted blades carefully. He knew the Master Sword’s power, but he wasn’t so certain about his own physical ability to deflect the blows if he was locked in combat with those blades.

            Narizah could obvious see his uncertainty. She set back into her ready stance for a moment, before charging Link. He caught the crossed blades with his sword, but the magic chased up his arms quickly. He shrugged Narizah back, trying to pick up some distance from her. Narizah wasn’t going to have it though.

            Seeing Link’s fleeting steps, Narizah pursued Link around the arena. Link kept her swords glancing off his. Narizah stopped after a while. Link backed off, raising his shield to see what the Gerudo was planning. She held her flaming blade up in front of her, and Link watched the fire build up around the sword. Link braced himself behind his shield as a spear of flames darted out from the tip of the blade at him. The fire hissed off the edges of his shield, licking at the side of his head.
