Ch 3
Alright people, you know the drill, Read, review and request a song for the Soundtrack. I'd love to have some more reviews ^^;Wendy
The day was cloudy and it was beginning to pour. Outside, the people were running for cover and getting completely soaked in the process.
Wendy sat alone by herself in a Cafe in the port town. A coffee was clutched between her claws.
She could honestly give a lesser damn what the other cafe goers thought of her right now. Her brother had given her a job to do and she would see it done.
She raised her cup to her lips as her eyes scanned over the paperback she was reading. It was a book Roy had given her about the World's History.
The only parts she really cared about were the romantic bits involving forbidden romances and secret meetings.
However, the parts he had wanted her to read were the parts about the Crystal Empire. To her, this was the most boring part of the book.
''Miss Koopa?" came a timid voice.
She looked up, realizing it was one of the guards she had taken with her.
"Whaddya want?" She snapped.
The parakoopa cleared his throat.
"The crew is..getting restless. They request permission to go ashore and restock on supplies so we don't have to do it later.''
Wendy waved her hand.
"Make it quick. Ness could be here at any minute. If we don't get back soon, Roy is going to kick my arse."
He saluted.
"Yes Maam. We'll be as fast as we can."
As he headed out, He brushed past a preteen weilding a baseball bat.
Wendy put her book down.
"Ness! Over here!" She called in a commanding tone.
The boy walked over to her in silence.
"Are you Roy's sister, Wendy?" He asked solemnly.
She stood up.''Yeah. I'm Wendy. We won't be leaving for a bit,so get comfy. The Captain needs to restock the ship. It's a very long voyage after all."
Ness walked up to the counter and ordered himself a drink. Hot Chocolate with a shot of vanilla. He carefully brought it over to Wendy's table and sat down.
"Is what Roy said true?'" He asked. "About the Crystal People being back?"
Wendy set down her coffee.
"Unfortunatly yes. The fuckers were undercover for a while now. We didn't realize it until it was too late." Her fist clenched.
"We have to beat these things and Roy thinks that with your powers, you might be able to help. Obviously, you decided to help if you're here, right?"
Ness took a sip of his drink politely.
"It would have been more helpful if you'd let me take my friends with me. They could help."
Wendy's grip tightened on her cup.
"I'm well aware of that. But the ship only has room for you and I plus the crew. I argued with Roy about this, but he thought you could do it on your own."
Sometimes she wondered about the sanity of her brothers.
Then she remembered that her own sanity was not that great either.
She let out a soft chuckle.
This was going to be an interesting voyage.
Syrio
''Now see? This is why you don't challenge Link to a swordfight.'' Syrio chided his squire as he wrapped the boy's arms in bandages. ''Because he's better then you at these things. "
The squire frowned before giving Syrio a very stern look. He knew that he was a very very good swordfighter. To be told he was not as good as Link was insulting.
Syrio chuckled a little.
"I know you think you're pretty good. But I promised I would take care of you. And you getting hurt,well, that's not helping to take care of you any better, now is it?"
The squire nodded.
"Good. Now let's go get some breakfast,Arvet."
A few minutes later, they were enjoying breakfast at a very nice little cafe in Castletown. Arvet had eggs and toast. Syrio had a heaping stack of toast and hashbrowns.
Syrio studied Arvet while he ate. The boy was quieter then usual lately. He knew for a fact that Arvet was no mute. Ever since the Gerudo attack, however, not a peep had come from his mouth.
"Listen Arvet, we need to-''
People were rushing to the windows. The Queen was just outside the door. As she entered, Syrio, along with the rest of the cafe, knelt before her.
Zelda stood before Syrio.
"Syrio Toadstool. Please rise." Zelda smiled kindly. As he and his squire rose,Zelda happened to look over at Arvet. Her eyes nearly bugged out of her head.
"...Syrio..Is that.."
He nodded solemnly.
"We're here to help you defend your country from the Crystal Empire."
Zelda muffled a chuckle.
"Of course you are. Let us hurry to the castle, before my..bodyguard starts wondering where I went."
Off the three went towards the Castle. In Syrio's opinion, nothing was more beautiful then the castle in Aurora Borealis, the Capital of the Mushroom Kingdom. However, the castle in Castle Town was adequate looking.
It was time to plan.
