AN: The Harry Potter mania was impossible to escape. Even now I really want to start a new HP story but everything is so overdone. Anyway I've got it kind of sketched out, so only a few more chapters and I'll be done. I'm going to be relieved to finish, although in this story you can really see how much my writing has improved can't you? Alright enjoy the next chapter.

Disclaimer: Good thing I don't own Zelda, the new games would never come out.

Chapter 20: Farewell

Link had come to a dead end. Three golden, but stone walls were on each side, and Greedoff stood in front of his only escape. Despite just wanting to find Tetra, he knew he was going to have to fight.

But it didn't matter, he'd take this traitor down then help Tetra. All he had to do was finish off this guy. Besides, how tough could he be anyway? Glaring, Link drew his sword and Greedoff smirked. With a yell, Link ran forward and jumped at Greedoff.

/…/…/…/…/

Tetra and Morgan were scanning the walls of the castle, and were glad to see that there were large cracks in the stone, as if someone had been chipping the gold off for themselves. Only problem was that the cracks were higher up then either of them could reach. Tetra glared in frustration at the temple before looking around for other ways they could get up.

Not to far away from the temple was an old, twisting tree climbing just high enough to the cracking edge. Tetra poked Morgan and pointed, and Morgan grinned before leading the way to the tree.

Morgan began to climb first, having a little trouble getting high enough to reach the branches. When she began to slip a little, Tetra locked her legs around the tree trunk and used her arms to push Morgan up high enough to reach a branch. Morgan let out a breath of relief that she'd reached the branches as she scouted how high they'd have to go to reach the temples walls.

When Tetra had made it up after her they continued up the tree. The journey through the branches was easier then going straight up the trunk, and they made it close to the temple walls in record time. The only problem was, although the tree was close to the walls, they'd still have to make a bit of a jump and get a good hold in the cracks on the wall.

Morgan had managed to find a thicker crack that they'd be pretty steady on, but that was only if they jumped perfectly. "I'll go first," she told Tetra, and before Tetra could object she had jumped from the branch toward the wall.

Tetra winced when Morgan made contact, hands trying to find security in the cracks in the wall. She slipped down some, but her hand managed to find a hold and she caught her feet on the crack. She turned to Tetra, pale and shaking, and said "nothing to it."

Tetra took a deep breath and positioned herself to jump, trying to calculate where she should land to actually find somewhere on the wall to hold onto. It had started pouring, which was going to make holding onto the wall even harder. The rain was sure to make the wall more slippery, not to mention being so high up in lightning couldn't be safe. She jumped slightly at the streak of lightning, but her eyes hardened. She shoved a bang out of her face.

If Morgan could do it, so could she.

She angled herself and leapt off the tree, hitting the wall hard. She was briefly reminded of how Link had landed against the wall when she had sent him flying to save his sister.

Her calculations had been slightly off, and her feet had missed the larger ledge. She knew she was slipping, and although the fall might not kill her, it was sure to break something. As she slid down the wall she felt her stomach hit the larger crack ledge hard. It almost knocked the breath out of her but her hands secured around the ledge, and she was left dangling above the ground. She tried in vain to lift herself up, but it was impossible without another hand hold so close to where she was.

Morgan's hand appeared in her field of vision and she looked up to see Morgan balancing by holding only one handhold. Tetra quickly reached up and Morgan pulled her up just enough for Tetra to pull her feet up under her. She noted that she was shaking slightly but ignored it. "Okay, let's climb."

So that's what they did. They attempted to ignore the lightning streaking above them, hoping it wouldn't strike anywhere near them. Both of them had many near misses, almost slipping on the slick stone but catching their balance at the last minute. A fall from this height WOULD kill them, and they didn't want that to happen.

"What feelings…were you talking about?" Tetra asked as her hand felt for another crack above her.

Morgan would have rolled her eyes if she wasn't so tired from climbing. "For Link."

"Is that why you left? Knew you couldn't compete with me?" Tetra asked smirking, scaling the wall a few more inches.

"…yes."

Tetra turned to look down at her in surprise. "What?"

Morgan looked up. "It's obvious he cares a lot about you, even if he doesn't know it. I can't compare with that," she said, pulling herself up a little higher. "Besides, if I hadn't given up you would have died up here, and then how would I get off this island?"

Tetra laughed, and Morgan smiled too, slipping her fingers into a crack and lifting her feet to another hole. Evidently the handhold was to small, because suddenly she slipped and went tumbling down the wall with a scream.

"Morgan!" Tetra screamed, searching the darkness below her for Morgan. The visibility was terrible and she couldn't see the bottom. "She fell," she whispered.

/…/…/…/…/

Meanwhile Link had no idea what was stopping his blows from having any affect on Greedoff. No matter what he did Greedoff recovered fine. It was as if he was invincible, as if something was keeping the blows raining on him from having any affect.

With that thought in mind, Link didn't notice the lightning extending from Greedoff's hand until it was to late. He was struck in the chest and flew backwards against the wall, letting out a choked gasp as he fell over.

He heard Greedoff chuckling above him. "Silly boy. Did you really think you could kill me? I have the power of immortality on my side," he said smirking, idly fiddling with the golden ring on his finger.

Link glanced at the ring and noticed it seemed to be glowing awfully strangely. Greedoff was grinning and gave Link a sharp kick in the chest, making him curl into himself slightly at the pain. The lightning that had struck him seemed to sap him of his strength, and he was finding it difficult to breathe.

On a whim he pulled out his sword and slashed straight at Greedoff's ring. He missed his mark and hit his wrist instead. The hand was cut straight off, blood spilling from the wrist for a minute. Greedoff winced but looked unconcerned.

But the concern grew when he realized his hand had not simply grown back. "You-you cut off my ring!" he shouted, powering up another lightning bolt in his hand. Link grabbed the ring and rolled out of the way, wincing at the pain in his chest.

He could take Greedoff on easily now.

With a final yell he ran forward, dodging another lightning bolt and stuck his sword straight through Greedoff's heart.

Greedoff stared at him, quickly turning ashen as he fell to his knees. He was bleeding immensely from the wound, and since he was human it would be a painful death. Link winced slightly and backed away. He'd taken care of the temples only threat, so he was sure Tetra would be fine. He backed against a wall and slid down.

Just a quick rest and he'd go find Tetra and they'd get out of here.

/…/…/…/…/

"She fell," she whispered again, shock stopping her from doing anything else but standing there.

Morgan, younger then her, liked Link, bratty, spoiled, little Morgan had FALLEN to her death for trying to help her.

There was no way she could have stopped her fall from this height. Tetra closed her eyes, tears burning in the corners of them against her will.

Morgan was dead.

It was just so unbelievable. She had been here a second ago, they'd been getting along.

A loud crash of thunder brought Tetra to her senses, almost making her lose her footing in the process. She shook the dark thoughts from her head. She had to get to the roof and get the jewel. If she wanted to get off this island, as well as anyone else still here…

Like Morgan's father.

She again banished the thought from her head and continued climbing. The roof was close now, and after a few more minutes of climbing she pulled herself up, scouring the edge to the glass window with the jewel.

But how would she get it out?

Greedoff had said the flute would be useless, but maybe that's because he didn't think she'd find it. Pulling it out, she played the familiar song, hoping she too wouldn't fall as she played. Luckily she didn't and as soon as the song ended the glass around the jewel shattered. Tetra covered her eyes and winced as many small fragments of glass struck her face and arms, but not lodging into place there.

She allowed a bittersweet smile to cross her face. Just one jewel to go.

Climbing down seemed just as difficult as getting up. She had used the charm to contact Link and had let him know she had the jewel. She had been surprised but glad to hear Greedoff was gone, but was slightly worried about Link's condition. She hadn't had the heart to tell Link what had happened to Morgan, and was dreading reaching the bottom and finding Morgan's body broken and dead, her eyes staring back at her unseeing.

As she neared the bottom she saw Morgan's body lying on the grass. Wincing, she looked away and leaped for the tree, easily catching the branch and swinging towards the trunk, climbing down and landing on her feet at the bottom.

"It's about time you got here."

Tetra's eyes widened at Morgan's voice and abruptly turned to stare at her. Morgan was still lying there but she was facing Tetra now. "I assume you got the jewel?"

"You're okay?" was all Tetra managed, moving forward.

Morgan winced. "I think…I broke my leg. And my wrist hurts too."

Tetra stared. "How did you survive that fall?"

Morgan grinned. "I managed to catch that one ledge like you did. Really hurt my shoulder though, couldn't hold on. But it slowed my fall enough to help me survive it." Although she was smiling, Tetra could tell she was in a lot of pain.

"We'll get you home, okay? I got the jewel so we can get out of here."

It was at that moment that Link chose to appear, shock on his face. "What happened?"

"I'll explain on the way, help me with Morgan."

It was difficult to get Morgan back home, but they managed it. Her father was hysterical but glad she was alright. Tetra and Link spent the night, healing from the ordeal, but the next day they had to leave to find the last crystal.

"Thanks for the help Morgan," Link told her as they packed up to leave. They had restocked on supplies here and were about ready to leave.

"You're okay brat," Tetra said, ruffling Morgan's hair and grinning. Morgan glared but was smiling slightly all the same.

"I know you guys can do it. Good luck."

Link smiled. "Get well soon." He bent down and gave Morgan a peck on the cheek before heading toward the door. Tetra felt something akin to anger start to sweep through her, but Morgan's voice halted it.

"Don't worry, it was just a goodbye kiss, he doesn't like me." Morgan winked and giggled. Tetra smiled at her.

"Hope you feel better. And once you're off this island you'll find someone just for you."

Morgan waved goodbye as the two walked off together and sighed. I wish things were different. I wish Link loved me…but I'll live with it. I just hope they break the curse. Please, let them break this curse.

AN: Wow you guys, this whole chapter was going to be two slightly more detailed chapters, but it flowed better this way. This means I'm even closer to being done. Did you think I really killed Morgan? It was a tough choice to kill her or let her live, but in the end I decided to let her live. Hope you guys liked the chapter.

And also, please review. I only have 26 days left of summer but I just may be able to pull this off by the end. If not the end, not to long after. Let me know what you thought, we're almost done here!
