I forgot to mention this in my first chapter so here it is:

Disclaimer: I don't own Zelda!!

Link arrived back at Hyrule with a disappointed look on his face. It was midday so Link decided to visit the weapons shop to make a special request. Link knew the shop would be closed since it was Sunday, but he was friends with the owner. Link knocked on the door of the shop.

"Hiro, it's me Link," Link said. "Open up!"

The door opened mid knock. A tall well-built man opened the door. He had a smile from ear to ear and dark black hair.

"Link!" Hiro yelled and gave him a big hug, picking Link up off the ground.

"Hi; will you please put me down?" Link asked. Hiro put Link down and blushed.

"Hiro, I need a favor of you," Link asked

"Sure, what do you need," Hiro replied generously.

"I need ten wooden swords and ten wooden shields by Monday morning," Link asked almost embarrassed.

"Wow! That's a lot of equipment, but I think I can manage," Hiro said in a proud tone of voice.

Link thanked his friend and went back to his hut. Tomorrow was the trials and Link was stressed. He walked over to his neighbor's hut and walked through the door. Mordaci was eating a piece of chicken when Link walked in.

"Mordaci, how many people have you've gotten?" Link asked anxiously.

"I am sorry Link, but not many people looked interested," Mordaci answered in a hush tone.

Link nodded and walked out of the hut and back into his own. He decided to set up anyway in case somebody showed. He placed scarecrow hay bales side by side and pulled a table out to the side. (The table was for a barrier to stand behind when shooting a slingshot). Link walked into the back of the room and pulled out nine hay bales and put blankets on top of them.

By the time Link finished it was getting late so he decided to get some sleep before the big day tomorrow.

When Link awoke it was colder than usual. He got dressed and slowly walked out of the hut. It was dark and Town Square was quiet.

"It must be early," Link thought.

According to the sun it was about six o'clock. Link went back to his hut and made sure everything was perfect, then lay back down on his bed. He tried to fall asleep but was unable to.

Link heard a knock on the door and got up to answer it. Two children about twelve were at the door. They were definitely from Hyrule.



"We're here for the apprentice training," they said.

"Right this way," Link said while motioning them into their bedrooms.

"I am Surapachi and this is my brother Numblet," Surapachi said.

"Were twins," they said simultaneously.

Getting a closer look Link now saw they were twins. They both were short with red hair and brown eyes. They were quite a weird couple of kids.

Link nodded and left the room; shutting the door. About an hour later there was another knock. Link answered finding a girl about twenty-three standing at the door. She was very dirty, but looked tough and dangerous.

"Hi I'm Yukiko," she said.

Link filled her in on the training plans and showed her where her room was. He ran over to the weapons shop. Link started to knock on the door.

Hiro opened the door and handed Link the equipment.

"I could only make five of each; I'm sorry," Hiro said.

"Ugh, I'll manage," Link said angrily.

He took the stuff and headed back to the house. He was almost there when he saw a little boy with brown hair wearing the same type of clothes he was. Getting closer Link saw who it was.

"Mido, I didn't think you would come," Link said surprised.

"Well I thought you needed someone to help, and since I'm from the forest I thought I could try," he said.

"O.K," Link answered. "Go unpack in the room, first door on your left."

XxXxXxXx

Mido entered the room and looked around at the other people.

"Hi, everybody. I'm Mido," he said.

"Yukiko," she nodded at him instead of talking.

"Hi I'm Surapachi," said one boy.

"And I'm Numblet," said the other.

Mido realized they were probably twins.



Mido lay down on his bed and drifted to sleep. When he awoke there was some kind food next to his bed. It smelt almost like oatmeal but he didn't try to find out. When he left his room the others were already stretching and warming up.

"Everybody in front of a scarecrow," Link yelled.

Every body picked a scarecrow and stood in front of it. Link handed everybody a wooden sword and shield.

"Everybody I'm going to teach you the basics of sword fighting," Link said.

Mido already new the basics and some advanced techniques. A master swordsman taught his father and his father taught him.

"Now perform a jab attack on the scarecrow," Link said.

Mido plunged his sword into the scarecrow almost tearing a hole in him.

"Very well," Link said and went on talking about the next type of sword technique. Mido tried to pay attention but kept thinking about his dad. He was sent into battle against Ganandorf's troops many years ago.

"Mido," Link said. 'Mido!"

He snapped out of his dream.

"Please perform a slice, spin, and jump attack."

Mido unleashed his rage he was feeling from thinking of his father, and pulled the three step combo. He side slashed the scarecrow, and then spun at its feet, and jump attacked the head.

"Hmm, very good," Link said in a coughing, almost jealous tone. "Practice these and I will watch, but sadly the one with the worst moves must go home.

Mido practiced his best until Link stopped the practice.

"Everybody back to their bedrooms except Surapachi. I need you to stay," Link said. Everybody went back to their rooms except Surapachi. Link whispered something into his ear and sent him back to the bedroom. Surapachi went over to Numblet and they whispered to each other. A few tears rolled down Numblet's cheeks, but he walked out the door.

Mido lay down on his bed and started to think bout his father. He drifted off to sleep after a few minutes.

Mido awoke before anyone else. He walked outside and saw Link and Zelda talking. She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and scampered out the door.

"What was that?" Link turned around quickly, not realizing Mido was there.



"Oh, nothing! Your food is on the table.

Mido raised an eyebrow and then walked over to the table. There were Deku nuts on the table; Mido ate these all the time in the forest. After he was finished, he went back to the room. The others had just woken up. Mido lay down as the others ate their breakfast. He was trying to figure what happened with Link and Zelda.

"Everybody out here," Link yelled.

Mido scurried out and stood behind a table with a slingshot in front of him.

"I suppose everybody knows how to use a slingshot," Link said; everybody nodded. "On my command, shoot the targets."

Mido was amazing with a slingshot since that was the only weapon the Kokiri used.

"Fire," Link screamed!

Mido picked up the three rocks and shot them at the middle target. They all hit perfectly.

Link examined the shots of everybody after they finished.

"Mido and Surapachi go outside and practice your sword fighting," Link said.

"Do you think she's going home," Mido asked.

"No, she had better shots than I did," Surapachi answered.

Yukiko came out later with her sword and shield. Link followed.

"Now we're going to learn how to block with your shield and sword," Link said.

Mido watched Link perform blocks until he couldn't watch anymore (Since he knew what to do). His mind again drifted back to his father.

"After I become a better swordsman, I'll attack Guerodo castle and get revenge for my father," Mido thought.

Suddenly Mido saw a sword flying at him and he blocked it with his sword.

"Good job Mido," Link praised. "Surapachi and Yukiko practice that."

Link turned around and practiced with Mido. After a while Link stopped the class went over and got the shields, and explained how to use them. Then told the class to practice again. Surapachi and Yukiko practiced and again Mido practiced with Link After about two hours of practicing Mido and Yukiko went back to the room. A few minutes later Mido heard a slight sound of crying. Surapachi entered the room, got his stuff, and left.



Mido was awakened by crying. It was early in the morning. Mido peaked out the door. Zelda was there and she was sitting in a chair crying. Mido tried to listen; but only heard a few words.

"Soldiers… Lizalfos…100…please don't,"

Mido didn't understand, but then Link appeared. Zelda stood up and gave Link a hug, slipped a note into Link's pocket and then left. Yukiko came up behind Mido and whispered in his ear.

"Hey, don't spy on them," Yukiko said.

Mido blushed and then they both went out to the kitchen and ate.

"Today is the final day and I will choose one of you," Link said "We will have a battle to decide the winner."

Mido got his sword and shield and stood in a battle position. Yukiko do the same. Link had moved some furniture out of the way to make a battle arena.

"Go!"

Yukiko jabbed at Mido, but he jumped to the side and threw his sword over his head to attack. Yukiko shielded it and jabbed again. Mido did a back flip and kicked the sword out of Yukiko's hand. Link's mouth dropped open with amazement. Mido quickly returned with a slash, but Yukiko blocked it with her shield, and then started to push backwards. Mido was overpowered and fell to the floor. Yukiko quickly jumped over and grabbed her sword. But it was too late. By the time she was standing up, Mido had already hit her in the stomach and put the sword to her neck.

"Mido is the winner," Link announced.

Yukiko grab her backpack, sword and shield and left the door with her head hanging low. Link turned around and signed for Mido to follow. They went into a small iron room with a bunch of treasure chests. Link walked over to one. He opened the chest and pulled out a shield and slingshot and handed it to Mido. He then walked over to the second biggest one and pulled out a sword.

"You may recognize this sword. It was my first and it will be yours. It was the Kokiri sword," Link proclaimed.

He handed the sword to Mido. He had a proud look in his eyes. Mido was just about to speak when Zelda burst into the room.

"We have a problem," she said.
