Emi: What?
Roy: ONTO DA CHAPTA!
Emi: *Hits Roy in the head with her awesome frying pan*
With the Hylian heroes
The guards of Hyrule castle had sent the message guy after the Hero. Link received the message and agreed to save Zelda. He brought Emi with him, since she refused to stay home this time. Link and Emi rode across Hyrule field in the direction the guards had claimed the U.F.O had flew in. Link was of course on Epona, while Emi was on her own horse, a stallion named Liam. He was black with white ''socks'', white mule, calm deep brown eyes, his mane was white and he had feathers Emi had placed beside his ears (much like a classic movie Indian would've done with their horse) and his tail was black with white flame-like tips. Soon Emi and Link closed onto the border between Mushroom Kingdom and Hyrule, a big mountain separating the two kingdoms. The mountain towered above the two elven adventurers, too steep for horses. With sad expressions, the Hero and his sister began climbing.
Emi, being the fastest, was way ahead of Link and was resting on a little shelf about 650 meter up the mountain. Link sighed and continued the struggling. Emi looked down at her brother.
"How's it goin' bro?" Emi asked Link, as a teasing smile spread across her face. Link looked up at her with an annoyed look.
"Don't talk to me Emi! I might get distracted and fall!" Link shouted. Emi struck her tongue at him and winked.
"I'll just clawshot you back up!" Emi said grinning. Link grumbled and cursed under his breath and climbed further. He was half a meter away from Emi, then his foot slipped and he began falling. Emi panicked, but managed to pull out the clawshot, aimed at Link and fired. The clawshot hooked onto Link's foot and he was saved from a probably painful death. The clawshot slowly began dragging Link up. When Link was safely on the shelf, he sat down and held a hand over his heart, breathing heavily from panic. He looked over at were his sister should have been, but she was already a good 10 meters ahead of him.
"Emi! Wait for me!" The hero shouted.
"But I'm almost at the top! Only some few meters left," Emi yelled back.
"Don't you mean about 2000 meters left?" Link shouted teasingly back.
"Okay, about 1340 meters left! This mountain is about 2000 meters tall and the shelf I was resting on was about 650 meters above ground level and I've climbed about-" Emi was cut of by Link's annoyed scream.
"Stop it with that math!" Link shouted and began climbing.
"We're gonna camp on the next shelf tonight, so be quiet! It's a reason I gave you the tent," Link said. Emi turned around and struck her tongue at him, and continued climbing. Emi stopped climbing once she reached the next shelf, which turned out to be bigger than expected. It were some trees there and grass, even small animals and a little pound with fish in. Emi set up the tent and made a small fire. She then went to the pound to catch some fish. She caught 3 fishes and began grilling them over the fire. She looked over the edge and spotted Link, about 20 meters bellow. Emi sighed and pulled out the clawshot and clawshot her brother up. Link yelled out in surprise at first, but then sighed. He got onto the shelf and sniffed the air.
"Something smells good," he said and walked over to the fire. He noted the fish and looked at Emi.
"You take two, I don't eat as much as you do," She said and rubbed the back of her head, smiling.
"Thank you very much," Link said. Emi and Link sat down and ate. Then they looked at the stars, waiting for the fire to die out. Then they finally went to sleep in the tent.
With Alex and Selene
"Are we there yet?" Alex asked Selene for the millionth time. Selene looked ready to kill someone out of annoyance.
"NO! FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME, NO!" She shouted. Alex looked strangely at his sister.
"Why are you so angry?" He asked.
"I'm NOT angry, I'm annoyed!" Selene explained. Alex merely nodded.
"Isn't there any way we could move faster?" He asked, his voice tired.
"Sure. Bro, sure," Selene said, then picked up a piece of grass, plain normal grass, and blew on it, a nice whistling noise was heard. Alex looked at his sister and you could almost see the question-marks floating around his head. Then they heard a loud roar. Alex looked wildly around, scared, while Selene smiled. Then, a big dragon came flying towards them. Alex's mouth hung open in a soundless scream, while Selene ran towards the dragon. It was silver and had spikes along it's spine. The dragon folded it's big white wings and snuggled against Selene's outstretched hand. Alex pointed at the dragon his face frozen in a shocked grimace. Selene noticed Alex's expression and laughed.
"Sorry Alex, I must have forgotten to mention my dragon. His name is Ekuano. It means ''Silver'' in the ancient language," Selene said and smiled. Alex was still just staring.
"I got him yesterday, 'kay?" Selene said and ''humph''-ed. Alex nodded. Selene sighed.
"We may get to our destination FASTER," She explained.
"Ahhhhhh," Alex said and nodded with a sheepish smile on his face. Selene shook her head while smiling and climbed into Ekuano's saddle followed by Alex. Selene kicked Ekuano gently in the sides and he flew off. Alex screamed out in pure joy by the feeling of flying. Selene laughed, pleased that her twin liked the flight.
They landed a few minutes later, as Ekuano was exhausted by the extra weight from two persons. As Selene and Alex climbed out of his saddle, Selene looked at her dragon.
"We gotta climb to the top?" She asked. The dragon understood and nodded. Alex studied the mountain about a mile away. He looked at his sister as a conclusion formed in his head.
"The mountain doesn't look too steep, we could get two horses and ride to the top instead off climbing," He said. Selene looked at her brother.
"And WHERE do you suppose we find the horses?" She asked dumfound. Alex pointed somewhere behind the black-haired vampire and she turned around. There, behind her, was a place which sold horses. Selene smiled sheepishly.
"I didn't notice," She said and her smile turned into small laughs. Alex joined and even Ekuano produced small grunts off amusement. The twins walked to the store and looked at the horses. There was a pure white mare, a chestnut stallion, a black mare with white patches, a gray mare and another stallion just that his fur was brown with a white patch on his back. Selene and Alex had a hard time choosing, but ended up with the gray mare and the brown stallion with the white back-patch. The horses cost them 100 coins each. Selene named her horse, the gray mare, Sanita, while Alex named his horse, the brown stallion with the white patch, Ace. They started off, and reached about 700 meters up the mountain before taking a rest for the horses sake, and to get a little shut-eye.
With the elves
Emi woke up at sunset and stretched her tired limbs. She jumped out of the tent and took a deep breath. She yawned and looked around herself, pleased to be on an adventure again. She heard Link begin waking up inside the tent as she put her shoes on. They had slept in their clothes since they had to be ready for danger at all times. Link got out of the tent yawning and stretching at the same time. Emi laughed and they began packing down the tent. Link took the tent and began climbing, Emi on his heels at the beginning. However, she soon outraced him.
The whole day was spent on climbing. The twins didn't even stop to eat, which left the youngest, by 3 minutes or something like that, weak and slower than usual. Link caught up with Emi close to noon and sent her a worried glace, but she shrugged it off. Link protested and told to rest and eat as soon as possible. Emi nodded, though she didn't show it, she was very grateful for that. The next shelf was about 50 meters up ahead, and Emi was already about to collapse. She forced herself further on, not complaining and trying to hide the tiredness. Link reached the shelf before Emi and set up the tent and made a fire. The shelf wasn't too big, rather small. It was barely safe space between the tent and fire. Link looked over the edge and spotted Emi, about 40 meters bellow. He was about to shout to her and tell her to hurry up, when something horrifying happened. Emi began falling. She didn't scream or yell for help. She just fell through the air, not trying to do anything about it. A sense of horror clung onto Link as he took out the clawshot and aimed at Emi in a hurry. When he fired he didn't even know if he would hit her and drag her to safety. His luck didn't fail him, as the clawshot hooked onto Emi's tunic. Once she was safe on the shelf and Link was about to yell at her for scaring him like that, he noted that his sister was unconscious, probably from extreme hunger. He then realized that had been the reason she was so slow, and that she fell. He grabbed some soup he had warmed over the fire and poured some of the warm liquid into his unconscious sister's mouth. She swallowed the soup and slowly came to. She moaned and grasped her belly in an attempt to muffle the growling it made.
"I'm so hungry," She whispered, clearly so hungry it was painful. Link quickly filled a bowl with soup and gave it to her. She grasped the soup and gratefully ate. Link smiled relieved and filled his own bowl. Emi finished and laid back, falling asleep at once. Link smiled down at her sleeping form and settled himself down after finishing as well.
With the vampires
Selene and Alex got up and stamped on the already dead fire, too make sure it was dead. Then ate bread for breakfast. After that, Selene mounted Sanita, while Alex mounted Ace. They set off and began a conversation.
"I wonder what's at the top side," Selene said looking up to the top about 1300 meters up ahead.
"Me too, hey! What if there's monsters and dwarfs!" Alex said excited. Selene laughed.
"Dwarfs? And, monsters? Are you alright?" Selene asked her brother while snickering. Alex struck his tongue at her.
"So what if I want to believe there's monsters and dwarfs up there? It might even be ELVES for all we know," He said almost busting out laughing at the word ''elves''. Selene snickered.
"Yeah, right. Let's just focus on trying to reach the top. We have about 1300 meters left," She said and clicked to her horse, to make it go faster. Alex shrugged and clicked to his own horse. They struggled upwards in silence, only the sound of the horses hooves and the birds twittering were heard. They stopped to eat and rest the horses at noon. Selene looked towards the ground far below.
"We've gone about 1000 meters up know. Halfway there," She said. Alex sighed.
"Can't we just port up to the top and slide down?" He whined.
"You know we can't port, only run fast," His sister said. Alex sat down and began pouting. Selene smiled and they finished their lunch. They began traveling again and covered a whole 400 meters before they couldn't go on because of their sore backs. Selene got off her horse and rubbed her back.
"What do you say about going to sleep early? My back is killing me, and I'm sure the horses are tired as well," She complained.
"Very well, we shall go to sleep then," Alex said and packed out their tent. They slept peacefully and had dreams of finally reaching the top and discovering it's mysteries.
With the elven twins
Emi woke early that morning, fully recovered, but still scarred, from the incident last day. She didn't want to feel the drain of energy again. So she got up and made breakfast. Link yawned and got out of the tent, meeting Emi on her way to wake him.
"When did you get up?" Link asked Emi, sleep lingering in his voice.
"Sunrise, welcome to the world, sleepyhead," Emi teased him. Link growled then noted the small breakfast Emi had made for them.
"Go ahead and eat," Emi said settling herself down, grabbing a piece of bread.
"We'll need all our strength, I noticed that yesterday," She said and chuckled, finding it kinda funny. She was able to admit that her pride wouldn't allow her to tell when she was weak. Link looked almost insulted.
"You almost gave me a heart-attack and almost died yourself! How do you find that funny?!" He asked, stuffing food into his mouth after finishing the sentence.
"Because, I was weak long before I fell, but my pride wouldn't allow me to tell you, it IS kinda weird," Emi snickered. Link grumbled and swallowed his food. He began packing the tent while Emi finished eating. Emi finished and stood up.
"So, what do you say about trying to cover the rest of the way today?" Emi asked Link confident.
"I'm allowing you to use math in this case. How far have we come and how far is it to the top?" Link asked, he didn't sound too happy when he told her to use math. Emi brightened up and a big smile formed on her face.
"Weeeeellll, the first day we climbed about 1000 meters up, didn't feel so much did it?, and yesterday we only climbed 300 due to me fainting and all that," Emi hesitated one moment before coming to the conclusion, "So we have about 700 meters left,"
Link smiled.
"That's brilliant! We'll be able to cover those meters in one day and if we're fast, maybe even right past noon!" He exclaimed, looking very happy.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Emi said, and the two elves began climbing.
Wait for the next chapter!
Emi: Sooooo, two chapters 1 day? You proud?
Pit: Well, it is kinda impressive.
Link: But we know that you have written this long ago, in the same document. You just decided to split it up into chapters.
Emi: Yeeeesss.
Roy: Not a bad idea.
Marth: Yeah, that was kinda smart.
Emi: Not at all, it's just called laziness.
Ike: Whatever, Review if you feel like it, Fave the story if you like it.
All six: Until next time!
