THE SWORD OF LIGHT
Chapter 1: Angry Gerudos

Link hadn't quite expected The Gerudos to take the "intrusion" so hard. All he did was free an innocent prisoner or two....well, there were 6, all friends of the carpenters he helped before. Link gave Epona a sharp kick to the sides, and she sped off even faster. Not fast enough, the gerudos were gaining, with swords in hand. One had a lasso, and was trying to catch Link alive. Link took out his bow, and shot down the Gerudo in front. The other's horses just hopped over the corpse, and kept after, screaming. Link shot down two more, and kicked Epona, rather hard. Epona winnied, and went even faster. Suddenly Link felt something surround him. He saw a lasso, tightened around his waist, binding his arms. "Sorry, old girl." he muttered under his breath. he kicked Epona in the ribs as hard as he could, and she sped off, the girl at the other end of the lasso flew off her horse, and was being dragged behind. Link directed Epona toward the cliff leading to the Hylia River. "WOAH!" he cried, and Epona skidded to a stop. The girl screamed and flew up, over Link, and off the cliff. while link had expected her to let go of the rope, she held on, and Link slid off the edge too.


The girl grabbed him, quickly bound his hands and feet, and got into a ball shape to help protect her from hitting the water hard. Link struggled at his binds. I can't swim with just my body! He thought. He frantically struggled at the ropes, and managed to get about 4 feet lose on his hands. He still wasn't loose enough to swim. He hit the water, and was greeted by the girl. "My sister was Nabooru. My name is Nubaru." she said. "And you killed her! I will kill you...." Link tried to respond, but he was dragged underwater. The 4 feet of rope was tied around a tree root, and Nubaru swam off. Link had a small amount of space to slip his hands through the rope. He started to, when an Ocktork swam up to him. He moved faster and got his hands free. He grinned, stuck his tounge out at the Ocktork and swam off. At least, TRIED to. The bind on his legs was still tight. He frantically untied them, and swam away.


The carpenters were so releived that Link had freed them, they expanded his house, and added a stable for the cow Malon gave him. Afterward, they threw a huge party, and Mido got drunk and humped the cow.......but then the next morning everyone left and Link fell into a deep sleep. Until he heard tapping at the door. He picked up his sword, and headed slowly toward the door. He swung it open, and dropped his sword. Keopora Geobora stood outside on his porch. Gah. I'm too tired to hear a ten minute speech about me being the Hero of Time. Link thought. "Hi Keopora." "I have urgent news to tell you, Hero of-" Link closed the door. 17 hours later, he woke up, vomited, and went to wash his face in the pond. He opened the door, and...."-Time. You must come with me immediatly." Link accepted, and hopped on the old owl's back.


High above Gerudo Valley, Keopora stayed hovering in air. "The Gerudos were so mad about you taking their prisoners because they were actually sacrifices. They want to get Ganon out of the Dark Realm, and to do so they need a certain amount of sacrifices. Then again, if they sacrificed you, they would only need one." Link shuddered, and screamed, "WHY DID YOU HAVE TO BRING ME HERE TO TELL ME THAT?!?!?!?!" Keopora started lowering. "Because......it sets the mood." "Keopora, take me home if you don't want your head on a sword."


Link went back to sleep, and heard a voice in his dream. Link, it's me, Zelda. You must come to me immediatly. And then silence. He woke up, and rushed to Hyrule Castle. It was still under construction from when it was destroyed, but Zelda was outside monitering it. She took Link to the Great Fairy Fountain, and made sure noone was listening. "Link, you'll need to go into the Dark Realm and finish Ganon in there. To be able to come back out again, you'll need a Light Tunic. It was sealed away with the Triforce by The 3 Godesses, foreseeing you, the legend. You'll also need the The Sword of Light, which was hidden away, and noone knows where it is. With all 4 stones in the Wand of Kiroy, it will locate the sword. Each race has a gem. the Dekus, The Gorons, The Zoras, and the Gerudos. The Hylian Gem is on the top, and is already in there. The Great Fairy will give you the wand." Zelda lifted Farore's Wind, and vanished.


Link walked up to the Shrine. He played Zelda's Lullaby, and the Great fairy popped out, screaming the disturbing laugh. "What is it thy desires?" The fairy gleamed, and her eye twinkled. "The Wand of Kiroy?" Link scratched his head. "Uh, yeah." Suddenly, a gold wand with a blue gem on top floated down and into Link's hands. He put it in his pocket, and ran off. He played Epona's Song, and galloped toward the entrance to Kokiri Forest. He rode in, and gasped when he saw everything was on fire.
