The Fallen Sage (mission)

The Fallen Sage is the first battle in the Ancient Age in Hyrule Historia, set in 5000 BG. The player takes control of King Gustaf and the Ancient Hylians.

Opening

 * Midna: The dawn of this Legend can be tracked back countless ages. Many know of the Goddesses and how they breathed life into this world. When their work was complete, they created the Sages to be safeguards. One of these Sages, Sulkaris, deemed her part unworthy and attempted to steal the Triforce. A holy relic of the Goddesses, it was a symbol of their will and manifestation of their power. Sulkaris was unworthy and cast out of the Sacred Realm for her betrayal. Exiled to Hyrule, Sulkaris stumbled upon the ancient Gohma. She granted the beasts untold knowledge and power.
 * Midna: In return, they gave her an army...
 * Midna: Like a blight, Sulkaris spread across Hyrule, defiling all those that followed the Goddesses. It seemed that the fate of Hyrule was sealed. But not all hope was lost.
 * Midna: Under the command of King Gustaf, the Ancient Hylians rose to oppose Sulkaris. It was the hope of Gustaf to bait Sulkaris into a chokepoint trap. There, he could counter the overwhelming number advantage the Gohma had. Once lured into the pass, an allied army would approach from behind and trap Sulkaris.
 * Midna: She fell for it. Still, she would not let defeat come so easily. Gustaf would have to hold his ground and prepare for the fight of his life.

Aftermath
King Gustaf duels with Sulkaris, until Sulkaris knocks Gustaf's sword out of his hand and prepares to kill him. As Sulkaris prepares to kill him, King Gustaf grabs a bow and arrow from a fallen soldier and shoots an arrow imbued with the Goddesses' power, killing Sulkaris.
 * Midna: The Ancient Hylians have defeated the armies of Sulkaris. Her forces were utterly crushed, despite outnumbering those of Gustaf. Though this day was to belong to the followers of the Goddesses... Sulkaris would not grant it so long as she stood.
 * Midna: It was in that moment the fate of all Hyrule would be decided...
 * Midna: It was thus that Gustaf, First King of Hyrule, defeated Sulkaris. The very power she desired destroyed her. The age of the Gohma had ended. It was now time for the Hylians to reign over Hyrule.
