Chapter 2
-Celestria-
Now I feel relaxed, it seems as if the mysterious presence disappeared. There was something on my mind now. I looked over to Ike and saw his eyes, this time they were infuriated as he looked in the distance. Our trip has been silent every day since the escape. It made me sad that he couldn't speak to me.
"Have you lost someone in the war?" I asked. Talking sounded weird after days of nothing. My throat was dry as I took a reassuring gulp.
"Yea, but I rather not say" he mumbled "I failed our kingdom, I should have been prepared"
"But we both failed, I couldn't do a thing" then it was quiet again, a crowd could be heard in the distance.
We have approached the town. It was a feeling of joy that I could start eating real food again, and be clothed in something other than rags.
"Come on, lets go!" I said while sprinting towards the town, Ike was closing in behind me.
Finally, we made it to the gate. First step was to find new cloths. Although our money was gone, we still had our knight's crest, which gave us access to anything we needed. I found a local store and rushed in, all eyes turned on me, so I had to describe our story so far. When they realized our problem they grabbed me, and dragged me to the changing room.
My hair was re-braided and I was given a new set of iron armor with a white cape. The armor set included a chest plate, boots, and a leather skirt. I peeked out the front door and saw Ike standing there, also with a new set of armor. He wore a blue tunic, white pants and a red leather cape. I decided to take a step out of the shop.
I stood there in front of Ike, he was speechless. My first impulse was to punch him.
"Stop starring!"
Next we walked into a near by tavern, where we sat down at a table. I started to stare off in the distance, there was a lot on my mind. Maybe we did fail our kingdom, maybe I'm worth nothing. My heart was beating, the tavern was silent. Tears traveled down my face, I really was useless, I raced out of the tavern.
"Oh youth, guided by the servant of the goddess ,
unite earth and sky,
and bring light to the land.
Oh youth, show the two whirling sails the way to the Light Tower
...and before you a path shall open, and a heavenly song you shall hear."

"We have to keep running!" I yelled to the princess
Together we ran through the forest, the black guard was close behind us. There wasn't enough time, I grabbed her hand and began to climb up a tree. Her scared eyes were enough for me to believe I wasn't enough to save her. Now we were about 20 feet high, looking down we could see guards searching for us. Zelda looked worried, that we would never escape. Comforting her wasn't a option though, formal tradition of Hylian Guard requires one thing of me, to make sure she is healthy and safe.
"You need to get some rest."I stated firmly, she nodded her head and began to lean on a tree branch.
Then I saw her, the snake woman Virgo with her piercing red eyes.
"Move out and track clues from the princess!" Trouble grew near, her snake Gladius began to climb the tree.
Zelda was about to scream but I covered her mouth, then took her hand and began to climb higher. The snake was approaching, as we ran out of tree to climb, was this the end?
