Midna raised a hand and wiped away her tears with her arm. "bring me Dira." The council took on a confused look. "but, why Midna?"
Midna turned around pure fury burning in her eyes. "that's queen Midna to you and I need Dira to prepare a cell for our new guest."
She looked down at the sleeping man-beast. "he will be with us for a while."
The council men all looked at each other until all their eyes fell upon the youngest man there. "you. send for Dira and order a cell for our new guardian. He needs to be in fighting condition at all times, after Zant's uprising other twili are thinking that if they pray to the golden god they will receive new powers."
The boy just nodded and ran to the doors leading away from the room. He ran down the corridors and past the twili royal guard. A new addition to the army but they didn't look like they could do much. Dressed in long black robes with aqua lines running from where their heart was and down their arms. it was supposed to help them channel more energy to their attacks, as very educated twili knew, their magic came from their hearts. "council dog."
One whispered to the other as the young man ran past, the other guard just nodded. The runner just ignored them and continued to run at the wall at the end of the corridor, instead of stopping he passed straight through it. this was a tunnel-portal disguised as a wall only the council, royal family and now the highest guards knew about.
He appeared in a well-kept tunnel beneath the castle. "perfect now where would Dira be?"
He walked up the stairs on the opposite wall to him, and found himself in the kitchens. "you, Chef person. Where is Dira? She has been summoned by the council"
The chef just shrugged and went back to cooking a kagaroc. "useless old man"
The boy muttered before running of to the servants quarters.
Dira had already gone to the council and received her orders. She wanted to see their new guardian. "so I have to prepare this dog a cell before he wakes up?"
The council nodded. "fine. Should I take him now or come back for him?"
"take him now. He is making the room stink" Dira nodded before grabbing the sleeping form and warped to the dungeons. "ok lets get a better look at that collar she put on you puppy."
Dira ran her hand along the cold steel that was wrapped around link's neck. "its enchanted"
She gasped. She then sighed and began to ready the cell for link.
In the light realm:
Atop her throne Zelda sat, listening to the complaints of everyone who came before her.
"queen Zelda. A Mr Rusl and his son are here to see you." Said a rather stout man. "thank you chancellor, show them in. I would like to speak with them in private."
The chancellor walked to the door and ushered the pair in. and promptly departed the room.
"be on your best behaviour here Colin." Rusl muttered to his son.
"Rusl, how have you been?" Zelda asked the new arrival.
"my queen" he said with a bow.
"stand tall we have matters to discuss."
"of course. The people are unsettled after the incident and they want to give their thanks to their hero. but…"
Zelda cut him off "yes I know, he hasn't been seen since the final battle against ganondorf. I have my best scholar trying to reach him."
"Scholar? M'lady shouldn't you have soldiers out looking for him?" Zelda just shook her head.
"our hero, Link, Isn't in this land anymore. He is in the twilight realm. I have shad studying the texts in the castle library and auru is telling whoever will listen about the realm."
Rusl listened intently until she finished "but how can I help?"
Zelda smiled "you are going back to Ordon, soon. Am I correct?"
"me and my soon have to return to my wife and daughter, yes." Rusl donned a sceptical look "why?"
"shad has discovered that before the great war for the sacred power Ordon was a great city. Completely neutral, anyone could go and live there."
Colin cut her off "but Ordon is a small village, there is no way it was a big city."
"I'm afraid you are wrong, it was a great city once but people fled it when the war began. The demon thieves destroyed the place as they did not want a united force to fight against them."
Rusl spoke up now "but what does this have to do with me or Link?"
Zelda sighed. "country people are so impatient, im getting there. Anyway there were a lot of artefacts stored there. I'm sure you saw link's sword, which is one of the artefacts. The only other one we know about at the moment is the twilight knife. It is supposedly stored in a locked shed just north of where Ordon is now. I'd like you to retrieve it for me. Only you know the forest well enough to find it."
Rusl nodded and turned towards the door. "you can count on me. I have an idea of its location already."
"one more thing you two." Zelda called "you cant tell anyone about this artefact's importance. Understand?"
Rusl and Colin nodded and headed for the door. "this is gonna be tough"
Colin sighed. His father had never been this worried about anything before.
In the twilight realm:
"finished, finally" Dira said to herself "and just in time it seems. Hes waking up"
The twili girl shoved the wolf into the cell and slammed the door, which then glowed green with magic.
"sorry about this wolfboy. But the council don't want you running off." Dira said apologetically
link got up on his four paws, stretched and then took in his surrondings. Only half listening to the twili girl.
When she finished he turned to face her and whimpered. "I can't set you free. We need you."
Link whimpered again "but what about my friends in the light realm?"
Dira looked at him with a surprised face. "I understood you."
Link tilted his head to the side, a puzzled look on his canine features. "I thought you all could"
Dira was about to respond when the door at the end of the corridor opened.
"Dira. I trust our guest has been safely contained, I mean housed" said a tall twili man, in deep blue and green robes stretching to his ankles, with a devious look upon his face.
"yes sir he is contained." Dira said with a pause "isn't this going to confuse our people? Our hero being locked up and put on display, like a piece of art."
"dira, So young and so naïve. If we let him be free to go where he wanted he might use the aurora stone to contact the light realm, tell them about the twilight knife our ancestors made and then have an army invade us. Do you really want to lose this realm for your people?"
dira shook her head. "I don't want that but this seems inhumane."
the man pointed to link who was curling up on the floor. "that thing isn't human anymore."
This final statement was the last thing link heard before he plunged into the darkness of sleep on the cold stone floor.
yo leumas797 here. as usual tell us what you think of our chapters (the us being SamZelda and I) but as much as i say SamZelda's work is better (which i believe it is) i'd like your oppinions. so if/when you review this or another of our chapters tell us who you think is better. (she writes the even chapters {2,4,6 etc} i write the odd {1,3,5 etc} so yeah tell us who is better in your oppinion)
i'm done so rock on lovers of the legend of zelda
