Sorry school has been on my case lately, not easy when you don't have the time to type story and sleep for school.
Chapter 2
A moment to spare
Sparrow fought and struggled to squirm out of the large dark creatures hand wrapped around his neck and torso, with it's other hand it picked Sparrow face and flicked his hair back as if it was checking it's prized trophy.
Sparrow turned his head to see Link who was also struggling to to escape the dark creature's grasp as well. Then all of the sudden Sparrow spotted three triangles on Links hand lit up brightly causing the creature to drop his captive. Then Link immersed out a huge bright light blast knocking the creature back.
The creature that was holding Sparrow turned its head to see its "friend" on the ground. Sparrow decided to take the chance to escape, he pulled out his Red Dragon which was already loaded and sent a spark of electricity to his Red Dragon he was wielding which enhanced his gun.
Sparrow was glad he took his time over his years of experimenting combining the will of his powers with modern fire arms.
Sparrow quickly pointed the barrel of his gun at the stone face plate and said "Say hello to the barrel of Avo!" Pulling the trigger it shot out a silver bullet shot towards to the face with trance of electricity following through the air, causing it to be sent flying on its back. Sparrow unfortunately was shot backwards with no ground force supporting his usual stance, knocking him down onto the back of this head.
"Damn it!" shouted Sparrow as he rose to his feet and one hand reaching for the bump of his head. As quickly as he limp towards Link only to see him on his hands and knees.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH" yelled Link as he looked up to the sky as his skin grew fur and snout sprouted out, both of his hands and feet turned into paws, and finally transformed into a dark wolf.. Sparrow was taken back as his eye widen in most shocking moment ever.
Without looking, Sparrow then was tackled to the ground by the dark creature as it hand both arms pin Sparrow arms to the ground, unable to do anything, unable to lift it's weight over Sparrow.
Sparrow then began to feel nauseous as his world was whiting out once more. Then he felt pain along his Will lines as if his Will was trying to crawl out of his skin.
All in a matter of moment Sparrow screamed in pains as he let out a huge blue shock wave knocking the dark creature back once more, and Sparrow faded out once more watching his arm sprouted dark feathers.
The two dark creatures slithered back onto their feet, ignoring what has happen, as they dragged Link and Sparrow out of the forest.
Not noticing an imp was watching the whole scene smirking from the tree branches, "I've found you...my divine beast..." the little imp hop from branch to branch following the two beast being dragged away quietly.
...
"One of you carries the dark seal, but there are two...only one is required,one will trade their youth and beauty so that the King of Thieves may retain his, this is the bargain we honor", said the Shadow figure.
Sparrow was looking down at the female stranger then back at the three shadow figures. "I didn't come here to trade my youth, nor did I come here to force this child for her youth, I came here to fore fill a task for a pirate, now I am done...here!"
Sparrow tossed the Shadow Seal on the ground and took the female strangers hand as he tried to walk out. Then all of the sudden the door slam shut, causing Sparrow and the female stranger to take a few steps back looking back to the three shadow figures.
"The rules cannot be broken, we take whoever bears the dark seal, you must chose quickly...", finish the three shadow figures.
Sparrow never thought he would face the toughest decisions of his life. His thoughts was interrupted when the female stranger tugged on his coat.
"Please...I just want to see my parents again", as the female stranger began to cry, Sparrow couldn't help but know this girl was still young, Sparrow knew he has already spent his time finding Lucien this far, found love, had children, he has everything, his happiness. Sparrow was the purest hero Albion has ever known, he wont give up the girls chance of life, he already had his, and he knew the answer.
"We've decided...TAKE MINE, I WON'T GIVE UP THE GIRLS YOUTH FOR MY OWN SELFISH NEEDS!", yelled Sparrow as he picked up the Shadow Seal. All of the sudden the seal puffed into purple smoke as it clouded around Sparrow.
Sparrow could feel his limbs were burning and his skin felt like it was pulling apart, then when the smoke drifted away he turn the girl, which then the girl jumped back screaming and ran away with the doors unlocked leaving Sparrow alone.
"Wait what's wrong, what has happen to me", yelled Sparrow as he turn to the three Shadow figures they spoke in as if they were pleased of their cause.
"Again Reaver has fore fill his bargain!" yelled the middle shadow figure.
Sparrow looked at the reflection off the shiny floor and saw the horror of himself, all his wrinkly skin, cuts, blister on his once so called handsome face.
Sparrow could not help but wonder how will Alex recognize her lover. Sparrow burst out screaming in mix of anger and terror.
Sparrow awoke from his nightmare as he rose up, he was going to wipe the sweat off his face, instead he flapped feathers his face. As his vision cleared up Sparrow took a good long look at his arms then his body and tried to yell but Sparrow shouted out came out only squawks and chirps as he flapped his wings vigorously. Only to abruptly awakens Links sleep.
Link awoke from an annoying bird and growled at it. "Wait, when can I do that?" thought Link.
As the bird turn to response to Link. "Link is that you", chirped Sparrow.
"Sparrow?", said Link.
"Look at us, except you're a wolf and I'm...some kind of bird", chirped Sparrow.
Link tilt his head and notice his hands were paws and looked at his body, then back to Sparrow, "Um... I can see that...so where are we?"
Sparrow looked around, "Um...well it's obviously we're chained, there's the bars, locked doors, and a dead skeleton over there, what do you get, a prison cell"
"Okay I get that part but do you know where we are specifically?" asked Link.
"How should I know, my answer is good as yours" squawked Sparrow.
Link tried to move to the bars only up to as far as the chain could let him.
"We got to get out of here" whined Link as he tried tearing the chain apart his teeth.
Sparrow flapped his wings as hard as he could but the chain was tightly clamped around his waist so he couldn't fly away. "Don't worry we'll figure something out".
Sparrow tried to call upon his Will power, but nothing happen as if all his Will disappeared, left him, still Sparrow could see his Will lines running from his neck down throughout his wings like lightning.
As Sparrow and Link tried finding any possible way to escape, no hope Sparrow sat across the cold floor as Link continued to chew on the chain.
"Don't bother, I don't think you're teeth are going to do much on this metal chains" pointed out Sparrow.
"We'll I'm not going to wait around, my friends are in trouble, and what's worst is my village could be in danger" barked Link as looked up at Sparrow.
Link laid back down and waited, eventually after what it seems hours Link had to start a conversation.
"Say what did you mean by you're a kid again", asked Link.
Sparrow pondered a very long time to think about what to say, he didn't want to lie to Link, he was a hero but Link would think he's crazy.
"Well...", Link was waiting impatiently for an answer.
Sparrow decided honesty is the best policy "You see this isn't really my appearance, I'm really an 36 years old man".
Link raised an eyebrow "You really don't look that old before we became this", said Link.
Sparrow looked at Link then back at the ground, "Back where I came from...I made a deal with a pirate for his assistance but...before he would help me, he told me to do something for him...to return a so called Shadow Seal to its rightful owners, I took it...no problems...but when I got there I was trapped with a female stranger who winded up that curse place, there three shadowy figures appeared before us, telling us only one of us had to give up our youth just so they could give that damn pirate immortality life and shadow people legacy on.", said Sparrow coldly.
Link couldn't help but stare at Sparrow intense eyes of fury, hate, then sadness began to cloud around Sparrow.
"So you chose to give up yours...why...?" asked Link.
Sparrow said "Because...I had my fun...I was too close to my vengeance, I found love, had a family...no need to take all those on coming experience from a young girl, she hasn't done any that, so I knew it was for the best" replied Sparrow calmly. Link couldn't help but look down in shame "I'm sorry for asking...I didn't mean to bring that painful...memory back" said Link.
Sparrow looked at Link "No...none of it was your cause...and you didn't bring it up...it has always been my pain...but the real pain is from...", Sparrow fell into silent not wanting to bring up the cause of his lovely sprout and child death.
Link knew something was wrong, he was going to ask what could have been his burden after so many years until Sparrow cut him off.
"So what are you by the way, I have been wanting to ask you that because I have never seen an human appearance with long ears?", asked Sparrow, wanting to change the subject and off the memories of blood.
Link tilt his head in confusion "You have never seen, heard or met a Hylian?" asked Link.
"Well I have now and know", said Sparrow.
"You're not from around here are you?", asked Link.
"You're right...I'm not...and we never seen Hylian, where I come from I came from the land called Albion, I came to this place by three mystical Goddess...they asked me to help in their desperate time of need against some dark force and to aid the hero of...what was it...something about a piece of a Triforce I think that's what it is called", finished Sparrow.
Link could not just believe what he just heard, "Wait you spoke of the three goddess that sent you here" asked Link unsure if he heard incorrectly.
"Yeah...that's just what I just said", said Sparrow.
Link was going to ask more until both heard giggling sounds of a girl, then bother turn to outside of the cell, there saw a short figure being with large red eyes and wore a large stone helmet or some sort. The short, red eye figure gave a smiled evil as Link gave growl and armed his teeth in ready whatever was to come, as for Sparrow just sat there unable to do knowing there was nothing he could do.
All of the sudden the short imp jump through the prison bars, and stood in front of Link shouting, "I found you!" yelled the imp.
Link didn't let his guard down unsure if the imp was with those large dark figures.
The imp didn't like the wolfs tone "Ooh, aren't you scary eee hee, are you sure you want to be doing that, snarling and glaring at me?".
Sparrow rose to his feet and tried to walk to them closer but was held back by the chain.
"Well that too bad, I was planning on helping you...if you were nice...", said the imp.
As soon as Link heard those words he eased his tense.
"Eee hee that's much better, you humans are obedient to a fault, aren't you?", mock the imp.
The imp took a few step closer to Link and tap under Links wolfs chin "Oops but you aren't a human anymore, are you...you're a beast ha!" said the imp as it jumped back from being snapped from Link.
Sparrow chirped angrily "Easy there Link, she maybe the only way to getting us out of here!"
Link didn't look at Sparrow but Link knew he was right.
The imp put up her hand of no harm meant and said "There, there, you be a good boy and calm down...no need to bite!" as the imp put her hands together to formed a dark energy ball, she created a spark just enough to cut Link away from the chain attach to the ground. Link and Sparrow looked at the chain in amazement with the chain cut clean.
"You look kind of surprised, ee he he!" said the imp as she was about to step out, Sparrow threw his wings in the air and squawks "Wait you stupid dark midget, you almost forgot me!", said Sparrow.
The imp turned her attention the the Lammergeir like bird, she didn't understand what it said. "I don't remember you being part of the plans, common wolfy", said the imp.
Link could not believe Sparrow had just said that to the imp, but found it humorous since the imp can't understand animal languages, but Link couldn't help to leave his new friend behind. As Link looked at Sparrow then the imp, then back at Sparrow, Link moved beside Sparrow and looked at the imp with a sad expression and made whimpering sounds like all the other dogs he played with.
The imp couldn't believe this, her original plan was to be just her and the dumb wolf, a bird was not in the tablets of the divine best but she knew that he wasn't going anywhere with her, not without the wolf dumb bird friend.
The imp gave in "Fine he can come...but you better not slow us down!".
Sparrow gave a relief as the belt around him was sparkled off and was flapping freely around the small cage.
"You know Sparrow...what you just said there...be glad she can't understand us", as Link was howling with laughter.
Sparrow gave a happy screech.
The imp face palms knowing that this is going to an annoying trip "Alright you got your friend, now figure out how to get out of there".
Link looked around and saw a small gap under the cell wall he could dig through. "Sparrow there's a hole there, you can go first and I'll push you through", said Link.
Sparrow acknowledge this without hesitation and as he tried to squeeze his fat, feather bird body through the hole, Link gave a shove and then Sparrow was sent rolling out on the other side as he smacked against the wall. "Thanks...", said Sparrow in agony as he stood on his talon feet.
As Link tried to dig his way out, Sparrow tried to flap his way up the table waiting for Link clawing his way out then notice something was wrong. "Wait where's that dark imp looking?" asked Sparrow.
When Link had just made it to the other side the imp saddled on Link like a horse, Sparrow how ever couldn't help but notice how they already look like they're going to get along fine.
"I guess you two aren't completely stupid after all!" said the imp as soon as Link stop circling around. The imp then tugged on Links ear to make sure he was listening "Look, I like you so I think I'll get you out of here...but in exchange for my help, you have to do exactly as I say, if you need anything from me just give me a sign", finish the imp as she looked at Link then to Sparrow.
Sparrow gave a screech and Link gave a woof in agreement "So...are we all clear, good now come on, get moving!".
As Link tried to approach the door the imp gave light slaps on Links head "Not that way, go through the other prison cell, it has a secret hole that we can escape, also it's where I came through of course".
From there Sparrow followed from behind Link, wondering what this world has in store for him.
To be continued...
Thanks for the review guys!
