Chapter 3

POV: Mia

I wake up my parents and tell them the situation. They immediately head off towards the village chief's house. Link and I head towards the stables and we gather our horses. "I'll go distract them. Mia, you can help evacuate the village." Link says urgently.

"No." I say.

"What?"

"I said no."

"What do you mean? You'll get hurt and-"

"I don't care if I get hurt!" I yell. "I'm coming with you, whether you like it or not!" Link sighs. "Fine. But please be careful." He says. I nod and we ride off towards the shadow warriors.

POV: Link

I stare at the shadow warriors as they emerge from the darkness of the forest. I ready my sword. I glace back at Mia to see the look of pure horror on her face.

"Stay back." I whisper to her. She nods and backs away. I glare at my enemies and we immediately clash swords.

I could feel the immense rage emitting from the shadow warrior. I knew I didn't stand a chance. Not without the master sword. I left it in Hyrule, not expecting an attack like this. Instead, I took a knight's sword. Now I was regretting my decision.

While I struggled with one shadow warrior, I could see the other two advancing towards Mia. I drop my guard and yell, "Mia!" The shadow warrior took advantage of this and swung towards my arm. I could feel the searing pain that followed. I was getting weaker by the moment. Poison… I think to myself. Nice one.

Mia looks at me in shock. "Link!" she yells. The shadow warriors were getting closer. Suddenly, Mia's parent rush to protect her. "Mom? Dad?" she asks in shock. "Run Mia!" her dad yells. "Hurry!"

One shadow warrior takes a large swing and it hits both of her parents. I knew they were dead. Mia looks in shock, and I could sense a burning rage starting to emerge. "How…could you?" she asks quietly. "Don't you have any heart at all? Can't you feel any guilt from your actions?!" she says, her voice rising in volume.

I could see a circle of white flames starting to emerge from the ground. The hottest flames of rage… I think.

They start to surround Mia. She started to lung towards the shadow warriors to attack, when I catch a glimpse of a golden light glimmering in the white of the flames. The…Triforce..? I think. Then everything goes black.
