Desert Spirits, Chap. 2 continued.
The sun was just exiting its zenith in the sky when Nabooru and Sand Storm were crossing the sturdy drawbridge into Hyrule castle. Inside the market, things went on as usual, people talked in large gropes, and children ran and played, chasing some of the many dogs that always roamed free. Catching sight of her, people stopped their conversations, and gawked. It wasn't usual that you'd see a Gerudo in Hyrule castle, especially one riding a horse twice the size of any one found at Lon Lon Ranch. Nabooru only smiled to herself, if she wasn't in such a hurry, she would of done something shocking, like vault off Sand Storm and chop one of the wooden creates in half with her scimitar, just to see how the people would react.
Nabooru looked up, tearing herself from her rather amusing thoughts. She was about 20 feet away from the main gate to the palace, and the guards were chitchatting with each other about one thing or another. When she came within listing distance she paused.
"Did you hear, that the Princess herself announced to the captains of the patrol to be on high alert? My captain said, she tol' him that she had a dream about some kind of envadin' army of sorts, that were comin' here though a place somewhere to the west of us."
The other nodded, "My first though would have been the Zoras, when it comes to an invadin' army, but the part about the west would rule them out. I bet it's those Gerudo barbarian-women, they seem real keen on not letting any of us know what their up too. I've always had my suspicions up about them, you know, my father worked as a carpenter for some company in Kakariko, who was hired out to them, back when Ganondorf was in power. And you know what happened? Him and a few others in his team where taken hostage, and kept in these cells for weeks until Link came and rescued 'em." The guard shook his head and made a 'tsk' sound. "Those bandits there, should never be trusted."
Nabooru narrowed her eyes, if he knew one thing about the Gerudo way of life, he would have ate his words before they even came out of his mouth. Nabooru tugged on Sand Storm's reigns, and gave him a gentle kick, he obeyed by slowly advancing forward. The guards were still immersed in conversation, about how treacherous those "desert people" were. The Gerudo managed a smile, and thought, 'Well this ought to be interesting…'

Note: Well, still no real action, but there will be! I promise! This chapter was still kinda writers-blocked, but it does kinda tie in with the later story, it was more a continuation, then a complete chapter. As always, I still have yet to revise, so please DON'T FLAME about my spelling and grammar, I know the mistakes are there, and I'm gonna get to correcting them! Lollies to those who review!
