Chapter 8

A/N:sorry this took so long.

We said goodbye to Ninja Brian before leaving the Temple of Time and heading to Kakariko Village;it looked the same as it did when you were a kid minus some new folks and new shops. Houses were still neatly scattered, chickens still roamed, and the people still led quiet and peaceful lives. The sun was setting but I didn't mind; the evil and stress that permiated everywhere else seemed not to touch the quiet village, so I always felt like I could spend hourse or even days here. The soothing atmosphere drew you in and distracted you from the rest of the world if you weren't vigilent, like a lotus flower. I wasn't a focused person and tended to get distracted when telling stories. For example, in Game Grumps my stories always veered off course, leaving me to wonder why "the lovelies" liked me so much, but that could also be due to my family's complete lack of support in what I did. My family always pushed me to do what would make them happy, that was until I stood up for myself. There I go again. Anyway...

"What are we here for?" Danny asked, snapping me from my lulled state.

"You'll see if you go to the graveyard." I answered.

"Alright." Danny shrugged.

I led Danny to the graveyard and pointed out the headstone to pull; with slight hesitation, Danny pulled the headstone revealing a hole. Then Danny looked at me; he knew I wouldn't steer him wrong, but he wasn't too keen on jumping down a grave, even though he had done it before.

"It'll be okay, Dan. I'll be right behind you." I assured him with a gentle pat on the shoulder; he nodded and jumped down the hole. I soon followed after.

The grave had a heavenly feel to it due to the mist that engulfed Dan and me, along with every thing else, and the white stone that everything that was made out of. We looked around before seeing a ghost. The ghost introduced himself as Dampe and requested a race, which Danny decided not to decline. The race went by just about as quickly as it had started and earned Danny the Hookshot. Dan took a minute to catch his breath before we made our way out the exit of the grave to the village windmill. I stopped Danny and had him learn the available song, the Song of Storms. Then we made our way to Kokiri Forrest.

When we entered the forrest, we were surrounded by various enemies; Octorocks occupied the ponds as Mad Scrubs and Deku Babas occupied the land. Mad Scrubs and Octorocks spat at us and Deku Babas snapped at our heels. We hacked through to the Lost Woods and I guided Danny through the maze; this time he listened since he knew that I knew the pattern.

We got to the stump where Saria used to sit, but it was empty; the area felt distant, sad, even lonely. It felt almost as if a good memory, warm and comforting, turned cold and depressing. Ninja Brian dropped down from the entrance of the temple, breaking the moody silence.

"Hey guys." Brian greeted.

"Hey." I replied.

"Hey Brian. What's up?" Danny greeted.

"I have a monologue and a song that'll warp you back here and that's it" Brian sighed.

"Go ahead bro." I responded. Brian looked through his book, finding the right page.

"'The flow of time is always cruel... Its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it... A thing that doesn't change with time is a memory of younger days... In order to come back here again, play the Minuet of Forest.'" Brian read before pulling out his keyboard, which Danny and I didn't question, and playing the song. Danny copied the song on his ocarina. Then Ninja Brian disappeared. There was a quiet and somewhat peaceful moment that was soon over due to Arin hurrying over to us; Dan and I could tell that something was awry.

"Arin, what's up?" Danny asked, concerned.

"Seven years?! I'll freak out about that later. Now's not the time. Suzy was going to wait for you guys here, but a ghost took something of hers so she went after it. I tried to follow her but I got lost in that maze. I ended up back here, but she's still in there with some crazy s***." Arin rattled, shaken up.

"Relax, Arin; we can get Suzy out no problem. The enemies in there aren't that bad. Come with us and we'll get her together. Okay?" I responded.

"Okay." Arin sighed, calming down a bit.

"I thought she was a fairy. NPC's don't mess with fairies." Danny stated, ignoring the point of everything.

"You focus on that?!" I said.

"Well, while you guys were gone, her role changed so that now she's Saria the Forrest Sage or something." Arin stated, not really knowing all of the details and overlooking what I said.

"Guess we're beating the Forrest Temple. Easy enough." I stated.

We managed to all get up to the entrance of the temple.

"What are we facing?" Dan aksed. I thought a moment.

"A couple wolfos, some Skulltullas, a handful of Stalfos, four Poes, some Deku Babas, Octorocks, floating skulls on fire, Wallmasters, and the final boss. Nothing major and nothing that we can't handle." I answered with a shrug; the only enemies that ever gave me any trouble were the Stalfos and boss.

"Lead us through." Dan told me.

I guided Dan the best I could. Arin followed. As we walked through, we looked for signs of the ghosts or Suzy. Eventually we found Suzy. She and Arin were reunited. She apologized for losing her guide but offered to do what she could to help.

The journey continued until we came across a shining object on the ground.

"My necklace." Suzy sighed as she scooped it up and handed it to Arin. Arin simply put the necklace on her.

he journey continued until we got to the boss.

"The f*** is he?!" Arin shouted.

"The boss. He's called Phantom Ganon. He pretty easy. Dan, shoot him as he leaves a painting. When that phase finishes, deflect they energy back at him then slice, dice, and repeat." I stated.

"Sounds simple enough." Danny replied.

Danny fought Phantom Ganon as Arin and I watched. Dan looked quite attractive as he fought due to his serious stance, the way he handled the bow and the sword, and the way his muscles moved when he used the bow or weilded the sword. Sweat cascaded down his luxurious Jew-fro to his face and then from his face to his chisled chin. Arin nudged me and smirked. I rolled my eyes and glare that told him to shut up. Suzy giggled at our antics.

'Focus on what's important, Rachel. Get Danny through the game safely and get home. Got it? Got it. Good.'  I mentally scolded myself.

Danny beat Phantom Ganon and Ganondorf's voice resonated through the room. He congratulated Danny for beating his Phantom before promising that the fight against him would be much more difficult. I knew from experience that the true Ganondorf fight was difficult but Dan could handle it by the time we got there. Ganondorf banished the phantom to 'the space between dimensions'.

Then we were taken to the Temple of Light.

"I'd read the guide, but it got lost when I went after the ghost, so I'll wing it. Danny try to stay safe, listen to Rach, get us home, and remember that we believe in you. Rachel keep Dan safe, guide him,, get us home, and remember that dreams can distract from the beauty of reality and the moment. Good luck you guys." Suzy said before handing Danny a medallion.

"I almost forgot to freak out. Seven years?! No warning before, no contact, and you act like it's fine?!! What the f***?!! Okay. I'm good." Arin said as he went from calm to freaking out before becoming calm again.

"Sorry. I thought you guys wouldn't feel it. beside I thought you knew since you played the game before." I responded.

"You guys need to get going so we'll say bye. We're behind you all the way." Suzy stated before hugging us. We hugged back.

"Don't stay away too long. Good luck." Arin said before hugging us. We hugged back.

We waved to Jon before we ported to the Temple of Time. Then we headed to the mountain.

With two medallions in our possesion and four left to earn, we were inching ever coloser to the end of this crazy journey.
