'The Beginning'

"AGH!!"
Link landed on the wet, muddy ground in the forest, sword in hand. His mouth and nose were bleeding and his cheek was swollen. But he had to keep fighting.
With a burst of energy, he rolled over and lashed out at his attacker, a huge Dinofol. Usually these things were very easy to kill, but this one was an excellent fighter. It blocked Link's slice and thrust its sword into his left shoulder. Link screamed and writhed in pain. Then he lay still. The Dinofol, thinking victory was his, removed its sword and turned, screeching triumphantly. The next minute, it fell dead to the ground.
Link dropped to his knees, holding his limp left arm. The falling rain began to clean his sword. He looked up at the sky, then passed out.

Gemessa rode through the rain on her horse, Flash. She was a young girl, at about seventeen. She was running away from her father, who was the town drunk. Her mother left her to withstand her father and his shouting alone a year ago. Her father never beat them, but mostly shoved and pushed. She remembered when he came home to find his wife gone. The scene flashed through her head..
"Where's your mama, girl?" he yelled at her. She trembled in fear as she answered, "I don't know."
"Don't lie to me, brat!" He shoved her hard, sending her to the floor. Gemessa grew angry, but she faced her father. "Papa, I really don't know," she said calmly. She looked into his eyes. "She was gone when I came back from town."
Her father, realizing that she was telling the truth, calmed down a bit. "Alright, I believe you," he said gruffly. "I'm goin' t'bed." With that, he stomped upstairs and slammed the door.
Coming back to reality, Gemessa began to cry. She pulled on Flash's reins. He stopped, shaking his head and snorting. She slid out of the saddle and took a short walk. The night before, her dad came home and she pretended to be sleeping. When she was sure that he was sleeping like the dead, she snuck out to the stables, where her small bag of possessions and Flash waited. Then she got out of there as fast as she could go.
Now that she was out of there, Gemessa was free. She could do what she wanted, which was to be a fighter. Quite suddenly she stumbled over a figure lying on the ground. Kneeling down, she saw that it was a man. There was a sword by his side. He looked injured, badly. Not far away was a body of a creature, but she was more interested in the man. She put his sword back in the sheath and carried him to Flash. Tossing him on, Gemessa mounted and rode towards the nearest town, not knowing that this man would change her life forever

So, how was it? Review and tell me, please. *Disclaimer: In this chapter I only own Gemessa. (I will do this at the end of every chapter)
