Red Lions advances to the center of the great ring of columns near the tower.

It glows golden as they get close.

"Onward to swords!"

When they reach the golden glow, they sink beneath the ocean.

They're clearly underwater... But somehow they can still breathe, and they're not wet.

And now, below them, is a massive castle surrounded by underwater fields and mountains in an grand-looking medieval kingdom. Everything is... Grey, except the four visitors and Red Lions.

"Pretty!"

"What the heck is this place. It's - it's covered in magic."

"That would be the great spell of suspension the gods cast over this land. You will have to resign yourself to your magic not working quite as you expect here, alas."

"What about me and Zeke's magic?"

"I believe you can continue safely. Nemo's magic has many effects on the world, which is simply not possible in this suspended place. You two are not part of the frozen realm. Be wary, however. The binding of this place may break at any moment now that we have come here. There are many monsters who would be released from stasis, if so."

"Nothing we haven't dealt with already."

"Vampire punches to the rescue!"

She giggles. "Yep!"

Red Lions explains how to get to the Master Sword's chamber.

They set off. Nemo elects to stay...

"Bye, Nemo."

"Good luck with the monsters. I'm going to read a book."

"Is this because magic is funky down here?"

"...Yeah, pretty much. I don't like it. Feel defenseless."

"There's probably things that can squash me and Tabby, too."

"Less things than that can squish me."

"Well, I hope we see you again."

"Oh, you probably will. But just in case... I can have your stuff if you don't come back, right?"

"Fine. Whatever."

"Don't be mean, Zeke. I'd want something to remember him."

"And it's moot if you're really fine after. Here, take my slingshot and the spike balls. Could be handy, even if the bow and arrow is mostly better."

"Thank you."

"Have fun storming the castle!"

"Let's go already."
