I snagged Psycho's hand, pulling him underwater, keeping him a set distance from me as I pulled him deep, straight to the gate. I was a bit slower thanks to the Hylian, but I was still making very good time. withen moments, we were at the gate, and without really spending much time thinking about it, I went inside, looking for an area to surface...
 
As she pulled me under, she caught me by suprise, but I quickly went limp in her grasp, so that I wouldn't slow her as much. When we reached the other side of the gate, I immidiately began floating upwards, and broke the surface, gasping a few huge breaths as I recovered from the trip. "It's a good thing this whole place isn't flooded..." I remarked, looking at the sctructure inside. It was archetexture like I had never seen before, but it was a relatively large room, which was empty other than the blue stone walls, and white stone pillars, with a door at the other side.
 
I surfaced as well, not saying anything, pulling myself out of the water and moving toward the door, giving a look towards Psycho that said plainly "come on, let's get this over with!" as I was very impaitent to get rid of him...
 
"All right," I said, understanding the look perfectly. I hauled myself out of the water, and began walking towards the door as well, the driping water making a lot of noise on the damp stone as I aproached the door. I kept my right hand held on my sword hilt, though I did not draw it yet. I paused as I reached it. "Shall we?" I asked, unsheathing my sword as I indicated the door with my other hand. I didn't wait for an answer though, sliding the door open. To my suprise, it was like stepping outside. The room was bright, like a foggy morning, and the mist shrouded everything, making it impossible to see where the huge room ended. You could just barely make out a tree in the distance, and I guessed that it was in the center. "This is... Interesting." I said, stepping into the room cautiously.

I didn't respond, following him in. I realised that any fear I had was gone. It was like I was letting myself be mind-controlled. What was really going on though, was that I was running out of things to be emotional about. There was no way I was getting out of this, why make a big deal over it?
 
I slowly stepped forward, intending to move towards the tree, when I heard a faint sound. Not the sound of footsteps in the shallow water in the room, but rather like something brushing, or slithering across the dry stone. "Did youhear that!?" I asked, whirling around, already in a defensive stance. Nothing was there, and the sound stopped. But I had heard it clearly, I was certain of that...
 
i didn't respond, but I had heard it too. but I heard something else. A loud hissing noice coming from the direction of the origonal sound. Looking over at Psycho, i could tell I was the only one that could hear it. The hiss was a diffrent tone then the monster we had encountered earlier, more... inviting. Without thinking, I took a step towards the sound...
 
I looked up, noticing her movement. "Tiamat!" I shouted, concerned. "What are you doing?!" I asked. I didn't notice the shroud of darkness that had taken shape behind me, nor hear the unique sound of a blade being drawn from it's sheath. It was only pure luck that saved me. I twirled around as my eye twichted, catching motion out of the corner of my eye, and the clang of blades rang out through the room.
 
I hadn't heard him, but suddenly something hard and scaley slammed into me, knocking me aginst the wall with a loud thud. I managed to regian my footing and jump out of the way just in time to avoid another lash of the great beasts tail. I noticed that there seemed to be a barrier between me and Rauru now, clear, but obviously magical. I jumped again to dodge another tail lash, and the beast's tail slammed into the wall, dislodging a large clear orb, that fell to the ground, but did not crack. It was glowing a sickly green color, and was emmiting that noise that i had heard earlier. I picked it up, and suddenly, it dissapated, and i didn't notice that the ends of my fins/blades were tipped a poision green.
 
I was too busy to notice this, because I happened to be fighting against what appeared to be a man made out of shadow. He was dressed in a black tunic, granted he was all black, but he looked as transparent as the mist around me. However the blade he wielded was very real. I barely had the strength to block his attack, and he quickly stepped back into a defensive stance. He obviously knew a lot about advanced swordplay. I took up a similar stance, and began circling around him, analizing his technique for a weakness...
 
Finally, I saw the monster for it's full size. It's mouth was at least 6 feet long, it's body 50 feet. It... was simply amazing. Not to mention very deadly.What happened next was a long dance of it trying to bite me, and me using my blades to slash it, but missing. After several minutes of fighting, pure dumb luck got me a slash that got through it's tough scales, though it was no more then a nick to the great beast, and it didn't matter, as it whirled around and took me into it's jaws....
 
I continued pacing around the shadow swordsman deftly, when seeing what I tought was an opoening, I struck forward in a thrust! ...Only to have it blocked by a sideswipe. That was amazing, I had barely even seen his blade move! I could not underestimate this foe, I'd be certain to die if I did. I took several steps back, trying to comprehend his stance. It wasn't that different from the Ataru form that weapons were taught, though there were some subtle differences...
 
To my shock, the crocodile didn't bite down, instead, it threw me into the wall, then moving over to me, plucked me up one last time, opening it's mouth wide, preparing to bite down on me for the final time. I had closed my eyes tightly, knowing I was doomed, not even thinking to use the last few seconds to get out of the croc's jaws...
 
"Tiamat!" I cried out, catching the motion out of the corner of my eye. I turned, and began to rush towards her and the giant beast, when my world once again exploded into color as the shadow swordsman's blade smacked my head, the flat of the blade being the only part to connect. I almost tripped, but righted myself, shaking my head to get my senses back as I turned to the phantom, who was becoming more solid by the moment...
 
I snapped to alertness at Psy- no, Rauru's voice as I suddenly bolted out of the monster's mouth, and heard the snap if it's jaws only inches behind me. I was too frightened to attack again, and I got knocked around several times in what seemed like an eternity of tourture before the monster piced me up, and slammed me into a corner, where I fell to the ground, unmoving.
 
I was growing desperate, the phantom was countering my most advanced techniques. Not even my acrobatics gave me any advantage, the phantom countered my most complex strikes with similar moves, effectively countering every blow I made. Eventually, out of desperation, I whispered a name on my breath. I couldn't give up, but I was out of energy. I simply made a slash out of desperation. It was no technique, no finess, it's what you'd expect a child playing with a stick to do. Yet for all of this phantom's prowess with the sword, his block was feeble, equally unskilled, and he missed my blade completely, slicing through the dark mist like water. The phantom began disipating, and I fell to my knees, breathing heavily form complete exhaustion, as black mist began spreading throughout the room, casting a shadow over the place.
 
I hadn't seen any of his fight. All I could see was the big, yellow eyes of the crocodile, staring into mine. It approached me, slowly, and I curled up into a ball, shivering. What I nor the beast knew was that it's time was qickly running out. It opened it's mouth, for what I felt would be the final time I saw it open...
 
"Tiamat!" I yelled for a second time, struggling to my feet weakly, and rushing over towards the beast that had her. It didn't matter if I had come within an inch of losing my life once already in here, I had to save her, I wasn't cruel enough to let her die in a place like this!
 
i hadn't even heard him, I was preparing myself for death, when suddenly I heard the monster hit the ground wheesing, and I opened my eyes to see it thrashing around in pain, foam coming from it's mouth, then finally, it stilled, a toxic green ooze leaking from it's mouth. I was shocked, to say the least, as I tried to draw conclusions on what could have done that, but my mind brought nothing.
 
I stopped for a moment as I reached Tiamat, and stared at the beast, terrified. Poison was the one thing that truly disturbed me. Id did not matter how tough you were, if you got hit with a lethal poison... I shook my head, snapping the thought from my mind, and looked to tiamat. I couldn't see any serious wounds, no real damage done, besides a severe fright which might take her into shock. "Thank goodness you're all right!" I said, not even thinking about my words, or my actions as I put my arms around her and pulled her close.
