Forgotten Land

Chapter two: Ocean Union National Guard

An old woman stumbled and tripped on the rocky path away from the market, almost spilling her groceries before a young man stepped in to catch them. "Oh, thank you." She smiled at the boy, knowing that he must be a part of the Ocean Union National Guard. But as he walked away she noticed something strange about him. He wore a green tunic, nobody wore green tunics anymore. "Who was that?" She muttered to herself before continuing on home.

Kyp hurried back to ship upon hearing the gong's sound and stood in line with the rest of the boys in the barracks, snapping into a salute as his commanding officer passed.

"Unit 53 has received direct orders from the top to head off to the frontlines. Tonight we will see battle. We will personally see that our land is reclaimed from the Zoras."

"It's an honor, sir!" One boy exclaimed with excitement. He turned red in embarrassment and awkwardly fiddled with the edges of his red tunic.

His buddy patted him on the shoulder saying. "We're going to kill those monsters!" He smiled and turned to Kyp. "Right, Gulls? You've got a lot to prove today."

Kyp nodded and quietly answered. "Right."

As the ship slipped out of the harbor they made plans to strike.

The breeze ruffled Kyp's hair in the darkening sky. His unit stood on deck, nearing the Tower of the Gods. The tower cast a larger shadow over the boys.

"This is kind or eerie looking." The embarrassed boy from earlier whispered. Kyp believed his name was Colin.

"It's gonna be a battlefield, of course it's eerie." The other boy from earlier retorted. He was called Talon. Those two boys came from Great fish Isle, a land that had been reclaimed since the dark wind had destroyed it. "See? Even Gulls isn't scared!"

"Don't worry Colin, everybody says that these battles with the Zoras won't last until harvest." Kyp said, trying to comfort the boy. Colin smiled and gripped his sword hilt tighter.

Little did they know, in the watery depths crept the enemy and up on the pillars of the tower they hid, readying their weapons. The sea around the Hylians ship began to ripple in little circles, as if rocks were falling into the water. On the contrary, it was the Zoras rising to the surface.

The commander noticed the telltale ripples of the enemy and began shouting out orders. "Archers, train your arrows to the sea-Shoot at any sign of movement!" He ran down the ship, pushing the younger boys into position. "Let's hope to the Goddesses that they don't hav-!" He was cut off by a deafening explosion just to the right of their vessel. Everyone turned to see where it had came from and staggered back upon seeing a large ship rising out of the sea.

"- Underwater bombs. Damn it!" The commander waved to those manning the cannons. "Fire on the enemy vessel!"

Soon the archers sent arrows flying and bodies began climbing up the side off the Hylian ship. Another explosion hit this time too far left and the Hylian cannons boomed back in response. Water splashed up from all over, making the archer's visibility near zero. The Zoras now had a much easier time climbing onto the ship and meeting the Hylian's swords with their daggers.

Kyp, Colin and Talon rushed towards the masses of Zoras hacking through their ranks but turned to the sky when they heard the high pitched battle cry of Zoras leaping down from the stone pillars onto the ship.

"They knew we were coming!" Talon shouted, swinging his blade inexpertly at a Zora that came at him.

Not only that but as Kyp glanced around the deck he saw how his comrades were either being cut down or pushed back, the Zoras had more experience. His thoughts were quickly broken and he lost sight of the others as a Zora came at him.

Kyp blocked the blow with his shield, realizing that the Zoras fought not with daggers but their own fins. He swung only to have the Zora slam the finned side of his arm hard against his blade, knocking Kyp off balance, and kneeing him in the stomach. He staggered back, holding up his shield in front of his chest, and was sprayed with water from another missed bomb. His feet slipped awkwardly on the wet deck but the Zora stayed sturdy- completely in his element. His foe raised his arms across his chest and when he flung them away from it again his fins flew out at Kyp like boomerangs.

He didn't realize how this attack worked until it was too late, he successfully avoided them as they swung around him but when he saw the satisfied look on the Zora's face, Kyp turned to see both of the fins only inches from his face- on their way back. Kyp closed his eyes, feeling scared and for the first time thought he was going to die.

He heard a loud explosion- the closest to him that he had heard so far- and felt himself falling. He hit something hard, slid off of that and fell onto something else until he slid off of it just as fast as the first one. It was only when he hit the cold water that he realized that a bomb had finally hit their ship.

Kyp kicked himself to the surface, blinked the water out off his eyes, and took a quick look around. The sky was black and both ships were red with flames. Bodies of fallen and living Zoras and Hylians filled the sea, their shouts and screams filling the air.

Gasping as he sunk again beneath the waves, Kyp desperately tried to keep himself afloat. All his armor, his shield and his sword weighed him down. There was so much panic-everywhere-that it began to seep into him too. He failed around in the water, screaming for help. Sinking under for the third time, he kicked off his boots, dropped his shield, and struggled with the straps around his torso that held his sheath and sword. By the time he was up again he saw that he was drifting far away from everyone else.

He reached toward the desolate battlefield, trying his hardest to make it back only to be pushed farther and farther away until finally as he continued slipping down beneath the waves he sunk below one last time- the greenish blue water fading into a solid black.
