Sorry for the wait people, I told you before that I'm pretty lazy and stuff, plus away for a while anyway I don't own Zelda just my original characters, so hands off Nintendo.

About a week after the attack on her village, Terra came back only to see that half of it had already been burnt down. She came back to give her mother a proper burial, but she couldn't have that, it seemed her mother's corpse had been picked clean by the local wildlife with her lower have missing, Terra knew It was her mother by the robe she was wearing the night that she died. Terra and Tami buried what little they found of her mother on top of a hill overlooking the village and gave her a small payer. Without saying anything they got up and salvaged what they could from their respectable homes. Terra found a the sword and shield that her mother hung over her bed as a memorabilia to her father, her father who was a mercenary, he died when he was hired to protect a caravan that later was overrun by bandits, it seemed that the caravan was carrying something valuable. The shield seemed in good shape but the sword was dull and chipped. She thought that maybe she could use this to start learning how to fight, as soon as she finds a blacksmith to sharpen it for her.

Terra and Tami came back to the caravan that brought them there and loaded up they could find

"Hey, what do you have there?" Asked Tami

"Just my father's old sword and shield," answered Terra, "I figure I Can use this to learn how to fight, as oppose to buying new ones."

Tami was worried for her friend, she didn't want the death of her mother to control her, "Are you sure you want to do this, I mean we live in Castle Town now, we are safe there."

"I'm sure, Tami. You know how I always wanted to travel." She said with a small smile.

Tami returned the smile as they climbed into the caravan. Their trip back was smooth and uneventful as they reminisced about the days before the attack.

Back at Castle Town, Terra was practicing her sword swings on a scarecrow with a wooden sword, she never used a sword before so her attacks were slow and unbalanced, some boys saw her and started to poke fun at her, saying things like a woman shouldn't fight, a woman should cook, she tried to ignore them but was very tempted to use the sword on them. A woman in light armor, a sword at her side, and short black hair noticed her and decided to help.

"Hey! Leave her alone!" The woman yelled, the boys stopped their bullying and took a good look at her and noticed the sword at her side, they left glaring at her, the woman then approached terra

"Excuse me; are you trying to learn how to fight?" Asked the woman

"Uh, yes I am." Terra responded a little surprised.

"Can I help you then; I noticed that you are swinging your weapon a little carelessly."

"Oh, ah, OK."

"My name is Ashei by the way."

"I'm Terra, um, why would you help me, if you don't mind me asking."

"I guess it's because you remind me of me when I first started sword play."

"Oh." Was all that terra said before Ashei started to show her proper sword stances, they practiced for about an hour before Tami came out?

"Hey Terra it's time for Dinner, oh who is this?" Tami asked

"Oh this is Ashei; she's teaching me how to use a sword."

"Hello." Ashei greeted

"Hello." Tami returned the greeting, "Would you like to join us for dinner?"

"Oh, I really shouldn't."

"Oh don't worry, we made extra anyway." Tami offered

"Very well," Ashei caved, they all continued to the dinner table to eat.

"So," Tami decided to break the ice, "How long did you live in Castle Town?"

"About ten years, I think. I am not originally from here."

"Oh, where do you hail from then?"

"I came from the east, I came here to fulfill my father's dying wish, he wanted me to become a knight."

"Why." Terra asked

"It's actually a long story; let's talk about you, where did you guys come from?"

Both Tami and Terra slowly hung their heads as they remembered the horrible night at their village.

"We came from the village that was attacked about a week ago, I'm sure you have heard of it." Terra said.

Ashei suddenly felt bad for reminding them, "Oh, I didn't mean to bring back any bad memories, how did you guys survive the attack? I only ask because I heard that village wasn't well protected."

Tami went into romantic mode and continued, "Oh we were saved by a Shining knight on top of gallant steed, he swooped down and slayed the beast, and escorted us here." Tami sighed as she remembered the over-thought memory.

"Ah, so someone saved you, do you know who it was?" Ashei asked

"No," Terra said, "We didn't get to properly thank him before he left, but I remember that he wore a green tunic, and a pointy cap, he was also had blonde hair."

Ashei started to think and finally said, "Could you be talking about Link?"

Tami suddenly jumped up and said, "You know him! You must take us to him!"

Ashei looked at Tami strangely, and then looked at Terra

"I guess she is a big fan." Terra laughed a little, "But I would like to see the one who saved me as well and properly thank him."

Ashei nodded and let them follow her to Telma's bar, when inside Ashei simply pointed to a man sitting in the corner of the room, he was in the middle of writing something, until he looked up…it was him.
