Author's note: Thank everyone who viewed, even if you you did not review, as I greatly appreciate it. As I was typing chapter five yesterday, inspiration struck yet again, and I decided to start naming the chapters from here on. But seriously guys, I really appreciate the views, as I didn't expect much when I went into this story in terms of views. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that I got 33 views on the third alone, so thank you everybody. Well, here goes nothing.
Disclaimer:I do not own Legend ofZelda. If I did, OoT's Water temple would not have been so teeth grindingly long and frustrating, but I digress.
Chapter four: The Debriefing
"So, to recap, Moblins and Darknuts are mobilizing all over Old Hyrule into little bands, and you want me to investigate, and if needed, strike them down before they can group together?" Link asked, trying to make sure that he memorized every detail, to which the King nodded in affirmation. Okay, but what I still don't get sire, is why you had me pull the Master Sword from it's resting place if all there is to worry about are some weak Moblins and Darknuts," Link said with a frown plastered on his face.
"Allow me father," Zelda said with a smile. "You see Link, before I awoke to my role as the Sage of Sages, I had a prophetic dream, where a young lad wielding the Master Sword was facing off against a giant shadowy beast,but had sustained heavy injuries, and was on the verge of dying," Zelda said breaking into a fit of sobbing as she uttered the last part of her dream. That in turn caused Link to get up and go over to her to hug her. "That won't happen Zel, I promise," Link whispered soothingly while gently hugging her and patting her back. He then grabbed his ocarina from his pocket and played Zelda's Lullaby, knowing that the soothing melody will calm her down.
"T-thanks Link, I needed that," Zelda said once she calmed down fully a few minutes later. "It's not problem, as I can't stand it when you're sad," Link said, before a sly grin suddenly appeared on his face, as he got a mischievous idea. "That being said...," Link trailed off in a sly tone. Before Zelda could ask Link what he was thinking, she found his hands tickling the underside of her armpits, causing her to laugh profusely.
"Linku, you know that i'm ticklish there," Zelda managed to get out while still laughing. "I know Zel, and that's why I'm doing it. After all, I love it when you're smiling and laughing, as it is infectious," Link replied, laughing as well. They kept laughing for a few more minutes until they remembered what they were supposed to be doing thanks to the King awkwardly clearing his throat, and Link returned to his seat while apologizing.
"Our ancestors gave each other those nicknames," Link explained before Daphnes could ask. "Anyway, would you like to have Zelda be enrolled in The Knight Academy?" Link asked Daphnes. "To be honest, I do want her to go there, but I don't want Zelda to be laughed at for being a girl," Daphnes replied bluntly.
"Hey Zel, are you able to transform to Sheik?" Link abruptly asked Zelda, to which she just flashed a knowing smile that answered his question for him. Link then turned his attention back to the King, who was wearing a very confused face. "Then that will not be a problem," Link said happily before asking the King if he had anymore worries, to which he shook his head. Link then pulled out his cellphone and dialed his father.
"Hey dad, can you come back to the castle," Link asked once his father picked up. "What's going on Lincoln?" Rusl replied in a whisper so that whoever is on the other side of the line with Link wouldn't hear him. "I'll explain it when you get here," Link replied back.
"Okay then. I'll see you in a few," Rusl said with a little bit of worry in his voice. They then said their goodbyes before hanging up on each other. "Why did you ask your father to come here?" Daphnes asked Link in a highly confused tone.
"Oh how rude of me. You see, the name Lincoln Silverman was a guise so that nobody would think that I got in just because my father worked there, so please allow me to re-introduce myself," Link said, chuckling a little. " Hello, I am Lincoln Ordinian, son of Rusl Ordinian, the principal of The Knight Academy and adviser to your Highness," Link said proudly, smiling ear to ear at the fact that he finally got to tell someone outside of his family of his real name and his heritage.
Another 30 minutes later
Link, Zelda, who is still in the form of Sheik, and the King returned to the throne room just before Link's father entered and was told to go to there by one of the guards."Lincoln, it's time for you to tell me what's going on, and I might as well start with the most pressing thing on my mind. Why did you not go back with the other students?" Rusl asked his son after entering and bowing to the King. Link said nothing, and instead he just pulled The Master Sword from it's sheath, holding it so that his father could see, which caused him to stand dumbfounded, before regaining his composure a moment later and bowed.
"Haha, there's no need to bow dad, I'm still your son," Link chuckled, but his father just looked at his son with widened eyes, before looking between him, the King, and the Sheikah to see their expressions, but was even more surprised that they were not wearing faces of shock on their own.
"Now that that is taken care of, the reason that I asked you to come here is for this Sheikan boy. He would like to join The Knight Academy," Link said, smiling a little. "Well then, he will have to show me either his grades or his swordsmanship skills," Rusl replied to his son with a stubborn, determined look. "Then follow me," was Link said before getting up and leading Rusl and Sheik to the sparring area to show just how good Sheik is with a sword. Needless to say, Sheik almost gave Link a run for his rupees.
"Well then, I guess I no choice,"Rusl muttered under his breath once the sparring match was over. "What's your name kid,?" Rusl asked the Sheikan boy, to which he replied by telling Rusl that his name was Sheik. "Well then Sheik, you are hereby accepted into The Knight Academy," Rusl declared, before continuing. "You have one week to teach him the material that your teachers have gone over with your class Lincoln, but he will start school tomorrow," Rusl said firmly before bowing once more to the King and leaving, or so they thought...
End note: I plan to finish chapter five by tomorrow, and post it the day after tomorrow, as my plan is to get a chapter up at least every two to three days, though it may take a little longer then that, and I am sorry if it does. Anyway, I hoped you liked the newest chapter, and I hope to see you next time.
