Chapter 1:

He got up. The sun is barely risen and he stood up. On all fours. Wolf Link jumped out of the hole in the side of the cliff on Death Mountain. He hit the ground landing on his feet, stretched and yawned. He leaped onto a rock, pointed his head to the sky, and howled and early morning alarm. Other wolves came out of the shadows to join him in the middle of Death Mountain.

"Why are we getting up so early?" asked Link's brother Koda.

"You know why," Link began. "I told you yesterday. This is the day the clan from Hyrule Castle comes to take over our lands. So we're leaving."

"But...Link..We're the protecters of Death Mountain! Ever since the gorons grew ill and lost their strength, they haven't been able to regain it back and they rely on us! If we leave now, and the wolves come, they'll kill all the gorons!" explained Koda nervously.

"Wolf code says you can take others' lands but you have to get through their leader first, and if the leader isn't here, they can't claim the lands."

"Wolf code? Why wouldn't they just break it, and take over while we aren't here?" replied Charkol.

"That's what a coward would do, steal lands when no one is here, they are the strongest pack in Hyrule, they won't take it if I'm not here."

Everyone agreed. They ran up to the top of the mountain to the hot springs and announced their departure. They warned the others and told them the wolves will sneak past the villagers in the village below and come up into the mountains. Link explained how they will not check the houses and the gorons should hide in houses and the bomb shop.

Link and the pack kept their noses high searching for any scent of other wolves as they escorted the gorons to Kakariko Village. No scent was detected and the gorons safely hid in the sanctuary cellar.

"Let's go, before they attack," Link demanded.

"Wait!" exclaimed Charkol. "What if we run into them along the way?"

Link thought for a few seconds. "It's a long way here from Hyrule Castle. You have to travel through Faron Woods, which isn't too small. Then you travel through West Hyrule Field, leading into Kakariko Village. They must have woken up at the same time we did if they want to get here before noon. If they travel South then West, we need to travel South to Kakariko Village, but we're already here, so now we travel North East to where I fought King Bulbin a while back. Then we head across the bridge, past the hidden village and we could stop there for a while to say Hi to some old friends of mine-"

"Link, this is too long of a trip, even for you. Stop being a coward and face them in stead of runn-" Charkol was interrupted by Link jumping on her and pushing her over. She looked up in terror as her leader was standing over her.

"I'm sorry...what did you call me?" began Link. "A coward? I'd like to see you come up with another plan," he challenged.

Charkol's terror changed to confidence. "Face them." Link stopped growling. "If we face them, they will leave us and every pack in Hyrule safe! Not to mention the gorons and all humans as well!"

"We will face them. Not today." Link was furious. "Their pack is stronger, larger than ours and we need to build our pack and make them strong so we can catch the pack of Hyrule Castle off guard and take them down. Right now, we're sticking with my plan. If you have a problem with it, you can stay here."

Charkol glared then got up.

"Alright. So it's settled." said Koda as the other wolves thought, "what just happened?"

"Alright. So. We go to Hyrule Field, the war field, then we go over the bridge, to the hidden village, through the passage way, into another Hyrule Field where we walk through carefully and head to Hyrule Castle," Link stopped as Charkol began to talk.

"Then what, genius?" she said wisely.

"Sit." demanded Link. She sat. "You're staying here. And only here. You'd better be sitting right there when we get back."

Link walked away and the pack fallowed when Charkol whispered to herself,

"If you get back..."
