DISCLAIMER! READ, VERY IMPORTANT: Do not ask why the King is acting the way he is, don't ask why I wrote that certain part. I will explain all when the time comes within the story. One single comment like such, I will stop. Otherwise, enjoy! Oh and R&R Both Chapters! PLEASE!!
Prologue
Link's sword sliced through the bandit's worn leather shirt with ease, spilling blood onto the ground. The bandit stumbled backward, gripping his chest. He gasped and coughed up blood. Link thrust his sword forward, straight through the bandits stomach. He pulled it out, spun it around and then sheathed it. The bandit fell lifeless onto the cold cobblestone path of The Forgotten Forest. A pool of blood lay beneath him. Link walked straight past him and into the cave.
"This is an outrage! The bandits have taken over Kakariko Village!" King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule shouted. He rose up out of his throne quickly, despite his large figure.
"Not to worry Sire, the young Hyrulian boy Link went into The Forgotten Forest to--" the King's assistant, Koto was cut off by one of the soldiers.
"Hah! You actually think that a boy of such age can handle the bandits on his own?" the soldier laughed.
"He has already proven himself worthy by defeating Captain Tache in battle." Koto replied.
The soldier laughed once again, stepping forward, breaking the neatly formed line. This soldier wasn't dressed in traditional soldier gear. Instead, he was dressed casually. A red bandanna was wrapped around his medium length dark brown hair. He had a slender face, which would be considered handsome, if not for his nose, which was horribly scarred from an accident during his childhood. He looked to be about twenty-nine years old. Oddly enough, his eyes were as beautiful as they were dangerous. Gray was the dominate color, with only about a hint of green. He wore a brown tied up shirt, which was littered with holes and tears. His..'good luck' charm so to say. His pants were equally as bad.
"Beginners luck! Tache went easy on the lad!" The other soldiers laughed at the remark, however, their laughter ceased quickly when the King spoke.
"Rinne, that is enough of your insolent remarks. Back to your post and shut up. Back to business. Koto, you say the boy went on his own?" he questioned.
Rinne hung his head in shame. He slowly stepped back into the line, crossing his arms, scowling at the King. Despite Rinnes current Second-In-Command position (Captain Tache disappeared slowly after his battle with Link.) The King treated him as a rookie, and Rinne despised it. Still though, he admired The King.
Koto bowed his head slightly. "That is correct Sire"
King Daphnes stroked his gray beard thoughtfully. He paced back and forth. "I see..you also say he is of Hylian descent?"
Koto nodded in agreement, not bringing his head up in fear. "Yes."
"Then we must kill this boy." King Daphnes said grimly. His eyes narrowed and the corners of his mouth curled in a small smile.
