Link's Story: Chapter Two: Ready? Set? Go… or not,

Sheik had climbed out of the fireplace to find Link sleeping, a thin trail of drool hanging out of his mouth, just touching the open book.

She gently pulled the book out from under Link's face, and looked at the chapter he had been reading.

Before she could start reading though, a sudden chill stole its way into the room.

Her breath condensed into steam.

Pulling the door open, Sheik saw the sea freeze, right before her eyes.

The rain had stopped, to be replaced with powdery snow.


Suddenly a gust of wind blew through the cabana, blowing out the candles.

Link, true to form, slept right through it.

Knowing they couldn't spend the night in a cold cabana, as it was impossible to know what would happen overnight, Sheik grabbed Link from below his armpits and dragged him from his chair.

Link woke up, and Sheik, her arms straining from his weight, was glad to let him drop.

"Ow," Link groaned from the floor, then he hopped up, "What's up?"

Sheik didn't say anything, she just pointed outside,

Link nodded, his face serious, and he grabbed the book and a key from its hook.


Outside, Link led Sheik to a large wooden box. He put the key into a keyhole in a door in the side and walked into a room far larger than the outside would suggest.

Closing the door behind them, Link and Sheik ran up to the large console in the centre of the room, and powered up the machine.

The roar of engines could be heard as this machine, the Chronostar, vanished.


Sheik said, "The chapter you were reading, can I read it?"

Link nodded and passed the book to Sheik. She opened it to the page Link had fallen asleep on, and read aloud.


Arn's Story: Chapter Two: A Rescue

Arn and Abigail used the oars in the small canoe to make their way towards the large ship.

As the Rocs flew overhead, Arn began to realise how stupid this plan was. He wasn't any good with a sword. He lost against his own son when playing hide-and-seek.

But, no time for that now, they were almost there.


Sneaking on to the ship was easy, Arn and Abigail climbed up the anchor chain.

Hoisting themselves on deck fronted them with a group of seven individuals. Six of them were male of varying height, while the seventh was a tall woman with short brown hair, similar in style with Tetra's, and a red jacket similar to that of the cowardly captain of the SS. Linebeck.

When she saw Arn and Abigail she shouted, "Don't just stand there! Fight!"

Arn and Abigail snapped into battle position. Arn gripped his sword, and started hacking and slashing at the nearest Rocs.

Abigail was a little more tactful, and judged her attacks before making a move. She decapitated one, two, three Kargarocs in a series of accurate attacks.

The group of Pirates attacked with knives, cutlasses, swords and guns.


Pretty soon, the deck was littered with the corpses of Rocs and Kargarocs, which soon poofed out of existence, leaving only the gigantic Helmaroc King to fight.

However, the Helmaroc King was a little more intelligent than the other birds, and realised when it was beaten, and flew away. Rather quickly.

"Cowardly bird!" shouted the Pirate Lady, brandishing her cutlass at it, before calming down, and walking over to Arn and Abigail and shaking each of their hands, before congratulating them for their good work, "Thanks for that, any longer and we'd have been bird food,"

Arn leaned back and put his arms over his head, "No problem, glad we could help,"

Abigail smiled, and then glanced at the opening cabin door, "Who's the kid?" she said, as a small girl, the same age as Link, stepped into the open.

The Pirate Lady glanced at the girl, "That's my daughter, Tetra. I am Captain Felicia, and this is my crew," she gestured at the other pirates, "As you can see, not the best fighters,"

She looked at Arn, "You fight with the ferocity of a master swordsman, yet you have very little skills,"

"I figure, it's either fight as hard as you can, or be killed to death," chuckling at what he thought he said was funny, which it wasn't, not really,

Abigail cleared her throat, "Well, we have to get home, we have two kids and we can't leave them alone for two seconds really,"

Just then, a screeching was heard overhead.


The Helmaroc King had flown in a large arc, sneaking up on them at the last second.

It dived down to the deck and grabbed Abigail and Felicia in its talons, before pounding its wings and skidaddling outta there.

Arn ran to the rail, winding himself, all the while shouting his wife's name, while her screams faded into the distance.


Link's Story

Sheik turned the page, to find… nothing; the story was blank for an entire chapter.

She looked up at Link, "What happened here?" she asked, pointing at the blank pages,

"I wondered that myself, then I figured it out, it's a chapter that has yet to be written, as the person experiencing it is otherwise inconvenienced," Link replied,

"Meaning?"

"Meaning that it's either by my mother or Ganondorf, and my father isn't as dead as I thought,"

"So, what are we going to do?" Sheik asked, looking up at him,

"Only thing we can do," Link said, looking up at her, "I know I'm gonna regret this, but we have to bring back Ganon,"

Whaoh. Words you'd never expect to hear from any hero really.
