Chapter 1:Reunited

It had been six months since she last saw her home. She sighed and looked around at the village she was currently in. It was a poor town and there were soldiers walking about. It was the town of Touya, a small village on the edge of Hyrule that had recently come under a series of attacks. No one knew who she was here and those were not Hyrulian soldiers. "Excuse me Miss, but you'll have to move it or loose it." One soldier informed her. She heard another whisper, "I wish that she would've stayed. We could've had some fun," as she got up and began to leave. She smiled to herself.

As she walked through the town she noticed a young woman walking a child home. Some soldiers walked in her direction and she tripped. It was no accident and one of the soldiers made a crude remark about it. The young woman just stood up and continued to walk on. "Hey, I was talking to you!" She continued to ignore them. The soldier was beginning to become angry with her. He raised his hand, as he was about to strike her as fireball hit him square in the back.

"What are you swine doing in my country?" A long-haired blonde asked. "This is a Hylian village. Under the protection of their King." The woman watched as the events unfolded. The young woman with the child had snuck away swiftly to avoid further trouble.

"Yeah right," the soldier scoffed, "Their King is old and his successor wouldn't be fit to shine my boots. Though, I did hear some interesting things about their princess-" Another fireball hit him.

"Leave now." His voice was commanding and his normally cheery blue eyes held a terrifying glare.

"What are you going to do if we don't?" more soldiers started to come and they surrounded him. A few charged at the man without hearing his response. They were met with either a fist to their jaw or a hilt to their stomachs.

"Then you'll deal with him and ME," she said as she took her place by him, "Hey Sheik, why aren't you at the castle?"

"Well, I missed you and Ralf was driving me crazy," he smiled and looked at the stunned men.

"You will pay for that!" The leader said as he ran at them. Sheik didn't wait for Linka to say anything. He cast another spell. This time the little red ball exploded on impact. The leader gave a deafening scream as he was knocked out.

"Somehow I don't think that's what he had in mind Sheik," Linka smiled as the other solders ran off, two helping their leader along.

"Oh well," he sighed and started to walk to the inn, "Come on there is much we need to discuss."

Linka sighed and sheathed her sword. She walked into the inn that she had been staying at for a few nights. Their was a pub on the inside and Sheik sat down at a table and ordered them some drinks. "Why did you come here?"

"Sheik, I told all of you that I was leaving to fight this new threat," she leaned back into her chair.

"You also said you would be a solider," he placed both elbows on the table, "you just disappear in the middle of the night and your note only said that you would be back soon. That was six months ago Linka. Six months."

"I had to do it on my own. I said I would be a warrior, not a solider," she shook her head and waited for the waitress to leave after she brought them their drinks, "I'm not the best with authority."

Sheik stared into his drink for a long time before breaking the silence, "Ralf misses you a lot. There isn't a night that goes by that Mom doesn't stare out the window waiting for you with Dad at her side."

"I'm not going to apologize," she turned her head away from him, "I told you all I was leaving. I never lied about my intentions and Mom would've worried even if I had become a solider."

"You could've at least written."

"You have no idea where I've been Sheik."

"Then enlighten me," he caught her gaze and held it. She sighed and motioned at the guards walking in.

"They're from an army marching in from the east. Slowly they're trying to take over the small Hyrulian village that our army isn't close to."

"It's that bad?" This wasn't what he had wanted to hear and she knew it. The look in his face told her that, "Ralf decided that he's going to find you. He'll be here in two days."

"What?" Linka's expression suddenly changed. Ralfisco, her fiancée would ruin everything. If he was coming then she would have to be extra careful no one discovered her identity. Sheik would probably find something to do and allow her to continue with her investigation, but Ralf would insist on helping her.

"How exactly are you getting your information?" Sheik's raised eyebrow gave Linka the feeling he already knew the answer, "and how would Ralf being here bother it?"

"Well apparently the guards let me in as long as I'm alone because I'm a pretty girl," she smiled, "what they don't realize is that I pack a mean punch."

"Linka," he shook his head, "that's putting yourself in a lot of unwarranted danger."

"I'll be fine. All I do is walk into their personal bar listen to them and the minute they start trying anything I book it," she didn't sound proud of herself, but she did sound reaffirmed of herself, "you should go on up to a room. I'll go up shortly, but if we go up at the same time, well it wouldn't look good in this town."

Sheik nodded and left the rupee and a five rupee tip for the waitress. Linka leaned back in her chair once more. The moon was high out the window and there was still no sign of Sir Crakes. He was the real reason she left. Sir Crakes beat her and then saved her life. Furthermore he was an old friend of their father's, but whenever Linka asked her father, Link never answered. He would just shake his head and say, 'that's a story better left untold.'

Her back stiffened as the inn door opened. A chilled wind blew through the room and sent a chill down Linka's back. She didn't turn to see the stranger walk into the pub. Nor did she look up when he sat down at her table.

"Waitress bring me a cold ale," his voice carried through the pub. It was rich and warm, but Linka could sense the venom behind it, "So you're the pretty little miss that's been hypnotizing my men."

"If they have no common sense to leave a girl alone when she wants to be, they desire what they get," she looked up and into his emerald eyes. Shoulder-long deep blue hair swept in front of his eyes. Her sapphire gaze never left his and her smile held a confidence she wasn't quite sure she felt.

"I agree, but my dear I'm afraid you've attracted attention. What is it you wish to know about Sir Crakes?" The young man leaned on the table-top, smiling warmly at her.

"Why? What do you know of him?" she leaned back in her chair ignoring the smile. She was not going to be taken in so easily just because he was handsome. He a black jerkin that stretched across him and a black cloth pants tucked into brown boots. Linka kept her eyes on the daggers sheathed on the holsters that were loosely hung over his shoulders.

"You like what you see?" his smile grew smug and Linka realized he must've thought she was staring at his chest, "I definitely like what I see." Anger flushed her cheeks, but even then she could tell he misinterpreted her action, "Well don't be embarrassed about it." He stood up before she could reply, "I guess I'll definitely keep you in mind Lady Linka."

He winked at her as he exited the pub leaving her in a speechless fury. 'How dare he be so arrogant as to think I would like him.' Linka stormed up to her room, 'he never even answered my question about Sir Crakes!' She practically slammed her door and flung herself onto the bed. A tear rolled down her cheek. She missed Ralfisco and the plans they made.

He was coming to her, that thought alone made it all worth it. All those nights she lay awake worried he would move on. Those lonely nights filled with haunted nightmares and restless slumber. She had been wrong, 'he had been waiting for me. He's coming here for me.' With images of Ralfisco and thoughts of them in her mind she fell into a peaceful slumber, allowing her dreams to consume her.

So yeah bout this new guy who thinks he's all that and a bag of chips…he's NOT based on anyone I know . (note the sarcasm) If you review awesome, if you don't well I'll live I guess
