The Hylian Samurai
By: Aaron Craighead
Chapter 1
A boy walked among the crowd of the Hyrule Castle Town Market, stopped to look at a poster, and walked into the back alley area of the market. He stopped in front of a man as if he had found something he was looking for. "What do you want, kid?" asked the man in a scratchy voice. "If I'm correct, there's a bounty on you, and I need some cash." was the boy's reply. At that he drew his long, slender sword and pointed it at the man. The man tried to strike the boy, missed, and got a nasty cut for his mistake. Then he was swept to the floor by a blow to the back of his knees. The only witnesses to this incident were people who saw a man tied up and being led to the castle by a young boy.
The boy led the man to the castle, and as he neared a guard asked his name. "The name's Duo, and I got a wanted fella with a big bounty on his head." Replied the boy. "Follow me," grunted the guard as he walked towards the castle's front gates. Duo was led to a chamber where he left the man and collected his reward. As Duo left the castle, he saw a beautiful girl, about his age. His knees grew weak and his stomach back flipped. Eventually he worked up the courage to speak to the girl. "H-hi, m-my name's D-Duo." He could barely get the words out. As if she hadn't noticed his nervousness, she said "my name's Sari, nice to meet you." She held out her hand, and reluctantly Duo took it. He couldn't believe he was still conscious after this, and out of nerves and desperation he said, "You're very pretty." At this Sari giggled. She walked off, saying she had to do something, leaving Duo there to try to get his legs to work.
That night he rented a room in a hotel and ate a huge dinner. Though he tried, he couldn't get Sari off his mind.
