Hyrule Adventures 2

As you look over the cave bearing hill, you see a black hole, blacker than the entrance of the cave itself. It is so much like a tomb, like death. There is more to it than that. It goes beyond death. It is a reward, a reward for selling your lifeto it.

The black eye staring at you, the way it stares at many others, sets your inner feelings on fire. Your heart burns with desire. The thing you see, whatever it is, is something to lust for, something to kill for, something to steal for, something to hate for. You want it, and nothing else will get in your way. It belongs to you. The Black Flame burns within.

And living for it oh so glorius! It gives you the power you need to keep it going. Not only does it bring you power, but it brings out power you never knew you had. Your hatred fuels it. Everything you do for the Black Flame is at your own free will.

As you stare, there is some change in the black thing, a shift. You know you did not see it. At a sublimital level, you carry your eyes over to another, or it carries them for you. You find yourself looking at the face, well not quite, of a man cloked completely in black. His hood is up and he wears a mask, some kind of thin black fabric mask, you presume. Or maybe he has no face at all. Something tells you that there is nothing but hollow blackness underneath the clothing.

His voice speaks crisp in your head, impossible to ignore. Not even with a thousand trumpeting drunkards running around you with pink parasols would distract you from it. Come with me. Come with me across the sea. To the land of Nardora you will go. I am the one who makes you know.

Grenada, having his attention drawn from K- Shat by this eery black hole thing. He wonders what, or who, caused it. Looking hard into the mask of a face, he tries to see, find out, he has to know who it is. He then dreams of removing the hood, learning who it is. As the crisp voice comes into his mind it eats into his subconscious, and he asks in a dull dead tone, "Will there be rewards?"

He still is thinking, in the same wanting, useless way, wondering why this unknown figure wants them to follow across the sea, to the land of... Nardora?!? The offer tempts him, he wants to know, he desperately wants to know, he has to know, his mind turns this thought inside and out over and over, repeating, becoming angered. He feels the flame tugging at him, drawing him in, consuming him, taking him to Nardora so he can learn...

Like the mask, the tone of voice is smooth, without a ripple. I can teach you to see in the darkness. Not only see it, but use it. When you go to Nardora, you will achieve the ultimate power you have been seeking. I know what you want, and I will help you find it in the never ending blackness.

Pende turned towards the darkness. Having such power does appel to him, but he was always a pennypincher, and wanted to know what he needs to give in exchange.

"What is the price to pay for such great power?"

"Is this power of the goddesses? Or is it a dark power?"Denning asks as he was eavesdropping.

"Is this power of the goddesses? Or is it a dark power?"Denning asks as he was eavesdropping.

"I don't know. Doesn't make a diffence anyay where it comes from; just what you do with it."

Reach down inside you. I am only a guide. Once you find it withing you, I can teach you to use it.

"How will I know when I'm ready? How long will this training take?"

You will be ready when you can see in the dark as you see in the light. When you can mold the darkness into you're palms and use it at your will. Come to the lighthouse, not the one that the Exiles speak of, but a different one. A black lighthouse.

"Ah, so you are not an exile are you? Or can one both be loyal to you and the exiles? You must be the one Rugger speaks of. I belive your name is Wyndisis?"

Wyndisis will meet you. He has his eye on you, right now.

I have one question to forward to Wyndisis. How can this power be greater than the power that created Hyrule itself. Surely you jest, surely this power does not exist?

"Perhaps it can destroy or alter Hyrule, or change history!"

"There is nothing more powerful than the power that created Hyrule, I mean come on, the Goddesses created Hyrule, and they also created the Triforce, which is as close as anyone can get to there power. And everyone knows that the Triforce can't do anything for you, I mean have you heard what happened to Ganon when he got it? I do no envy him at all. So good luck trying to find anything as powerful as the Goddesses, 'cause it won't happen..."

"Perhaps, it is not intended to be as powerful as the power of the goddesses. I think what would make this unknown power power better because the power comes from oneself reather than having to rely on the whims of other's, as is the case of power gained from the goddeses. But, I have no clue of the nature of this power, perhaps that person in the cave knows. Do you? Where does the power come from? The darkness, within oneself, or perhaps a spirit of some sort?"
