The Secret of the Graveyard[/shadow]
After a short and uneventful walk, the gang soon arrived at the Graveyard. Zelda was nervous. She had never actually been to the graveyard before. She had only seen the graveyard passing by. This was closer than she had ever gotten, or wanted to get. The graveyard was extremely taken care of by the priest in the sanctuary. There were no pattern to the graves, and only one stood out and seemed to have significance. It was surrounded by stones too heavy for a normal person to carry. It has been said to hold a deep secret. Link found the Magic Cape there, but some still think there's more. Triest was one of them. He was already through the gates inspecting the gravestones for clues. Link was waiting on the outside for Zelda to calm down. Neither of them noticed what Triest was doing. When she noticed what he was doing, she couldn't help but to shout out, "Triest! What are you doing!? Have you no respect for the dead? The people buried here?"
"What are you talking about?" Triest replied, "Look, I'm not defiling anything. The last thing I want is to have 20 angry ghosts looking for me."
"Trust him, Zelda. He knows what he is doing. I've been here with him before," Link said.
"Link? You've been here? You've defiled these graves as well?" She said with authority.
"Zelda, listen. He's taking care not to step in front of the gravestones. He isn't defiling the graves. He is checking the stones for clues. There are some friendly spirits floating around right now. For all we know, they could be helping him. It's okay." Triest looked up, and froze. He saw something in the sky. Something Link and Zelda couldnt see. Soon, ghosts started appearing, and attacking Triest! He drew his sword to try to fend them off, but to no avail. A barrier was then put up trapping Triest on the inside!
"Triest!" Link and Zelda both shouted.
"Guys! Listen! Try penetrating the barrier! I don't know how long I can last in here! Ahhhh! Get the heck off of me you undead freak!" Triest was slowly being attacked by ghosts and the living dead alike. He triad to fight back, but they wouldn't stop coming. Whenever Link or Zelda slashed at the barrier, it simply grew back. Then Zelda had an idea.
"Link, use the Spin Slash. That should open a hole long enough for me to jump through and save Triest!"
"Zelda..." Link said, "Okay, lets do it!" Link powered up his attack, then let it go in a whirl of fury, and Zelda jumped through the hole that was created.
Triest was in pain, but it wasn't the monsters that were causing it. The mark on his arm started to burn intensely into his skin. He tried to hold back the agonizing pain it caused him, but soon, it became too much. He let out a scream of pain that echoed throughout the dome. The monsters attacking him all stopped, and returned to their resting places. However, the dome did not vanish. It started to glow a purple color, and Triest stood up, almost being summoned by it. His eyes started to glow the same color of the dome.
Zelda was watching the battle from afar. She was worried. Triest has suffered some major battle damage. His shirt was torn to shreds, as well as his pants, and he was bleeding all over. After the monsters were destroyed, she almost ran to get Triest, but stayed hidden due to the changing of the dome. She saw him rise up, as if uninjured, and look to the roof of the dome. She also heard a voice booming from nowhere.
"Triest. You thought it was over. It is just beginning. Your true nature will reveal itself in time. Until then, you will obey me," it commanded. Triest hypnotically replied with a simple, "Yes." Zelda wondered what was going on, then noticed a purple glow coming from Triest's sleeve. Under it, to be more specific. She wondered what it was, but it and the dome vanished. Triest was left facedown in the middle of the graveyard. Zelda ran over to him, as did Link, who was patiently waiting on the outside. He rushed in to greet Zelda, thankful that she was okay. Triest, on the other hand, was a different story. He was out. Almost dead. Link checked his pulse.
"Is he okay?" Zelda asked.
Link shook his head. "No. He needs help. But not anything we can give him. It's not medical, I don't think."
"But what is it then? And who can help him?"
"I...don't know." Zelda fell to the ground crying and Link looked down solemnly.
"Link, I have something to tell you." She said with tears in her eyes.
"Yes? What is it, Zelda?"
"Triest. Something is wrong with him."
"No kidding! He's facedown in a graveyard needing some kind of help that noone can give, and there's nothing we can do about it!" Link snapped around staring at Zelda with anger in his eyes, but not directed toward her. Zelda understood why. Link and Triest had been very close friends, and me must be devastated to see him like this.
"No, I mean before this. I saw something while in the dome."
"Like what?"
"There is something on his arm. I saw it glowing when that thing was talking to him."
"What thing? What did it say?"
"It said, 'You're true nature will reveal itself'. And a strange symbol on his arm was glowing purple!"
As if it was almost an omen, rain started pouring down. Link gave a strange look at Zelda, then looked at Triest. He double taked at him, then ran over to him, picked him up, and bolted to Kakariko. "Zelda! I'm going to the village! Get the priest! Tell him to meet me at the Elder's house! Hurry! Go!" Zelda did as told. Link whispered to Triest not knowing or caring if he could hear, "Come on man, fight it. You beat this thing once before, and you can do it again!" He rushed off into the distance with only one thing on his mind, I've got to save Triest!
