"What the hell?!" Sheik yelled, waking up the others in the carriage. "We need to get out of here!"
"What's wrong Sheik?!" Link asked.
"The forest is on fire! Either we're being attacked, or we just got really crap luck!"
"Then get us the hell out of here!" Link commanded, and Sheik quickly turned the horse around.
"Okay, Link, I'm trusting you to keep a look out! Here, take this." Sheik handed him a slingshot.
"…What?"
"Don't kill whoever is attacking us. Just slow'em down. Don't want any attention do we?"
"I guess not. Just get us out of here." Link walked back to the back of the carriage. Link looked out the opening. "Something's chasing us… Might as well try this." Link pointed the slingshot up, and put it back down. "What? I don't have anything to shoot!"
"…" Zelda check her package. "…Here. It's not very useful, but I have a few metal shards here."
"Anything's useful. Thanks." (…Why would she have that?) Link was about to grab it, when…
"You don't need to give him anything, Zelda." The king said in a demanding tone.
"D-Dad…"
"…What he says goes, I guess." Link walked back to Sheik. "Don't worry. Its fine, Princess. Hey Sheik,
"Uh… Here. It ain't much, but hopefully it'll be of good use." Sheik quickly handed Link a small sack full of deku nuts.
"Um… Thanks." He walked to the back again, and aimed at whatever was chasing them. "Welp… Here goes nothing." Link let go of the rubber, and the small seed flew… and landed on the ground. (Damn!)
The attacker was rode past the black smoke, and it showed that he was a normal bulblin and was riding a giant boar. The boar sped forward, and stepped on the fallen deku nut, and it shined and flashed a white wall of nothingness, blinding the bulblin, the boar, and Link. The boar shook its head, and ran off into a tree, knocking the rider off.
"Holy-! That worked?!" Link stared in surprise as the white wall vanished. "Haha! Whoa!" Link looked forward, and saw two bulblins riding a boar. The one in front steering, and the other shooting fire arrows.
"You wanna mess with me?! Haha! Bring it- Holy crap!" Link ducked under a fire arrow as it flew at him. "Sheik, can you take care of that?!"
"Yeah! Just get them off our backs!" Sheik reached down and pulled the fiery arrow out. "HOT HOT HOT!"
Link pulled the slingshot back, and aimed at the two attackers. "Here we go… Damn it!" Link missed.
"Watch your tongue! My daughters are right here!" The king complained.
"Sorry." Link pulled back again, and it ended in the same result. "Ugh… I just… need to focus…" Link squinted his eyes as he focused in on his opponent. Just as he let go of the rubber, his left hand suddenly had a harsh burning sensation. "Agh! M-My hand!" Link fell on his butt as he saw the white flash engulf the enemies' vision.
"Link!" Zelda came to his aid.
"M-My hand… It hurts…" Link's eyes started to close.
"Link, get up you idiot!" Sheik jumped from the horse inside, and sat at the other side of the injured.
"…Ugh…" Link blinked his eyes open as he saw a fire arrow heading towards Zelda. He pushed out of the way as he felt the burning metal spike pierce his chest.
"Link…!" He heard their voices fade as he fell to sleep.
"Urgh, you idiot!" Sheik growled out of his mouth, scarring everyone who was still awake. He rubbed his forehead. "…Keep him safe, and alive until we make it to Lon Lon Ranch. I trust you can do that." Sheik jumped back on the horse.
"What?! My daughters and I don't need to do this-!"
"He just risked his life to save your daughter! You owe him to do at least this!" Sheik growled again, his eyes getting redder with every passing moment. He grabbed the horse bridal and whipped, and the horse sped forward. "…Asshole king…" He leaned back and grabbed the slingshot. (Just in case.) Just as he thought that, a few kargoroks flew ahead of the carriage.
"Flying opponents, huh?" Sheik stood on his feet, while on horseback. "Bring it!"
The giant flying bird came down and tried to attack, but Sheik jumped up on top of thing, and aimed at the other. He quickly jumped back on the horse just as the two crashed together.
"Ha!" Sheik smirked as the horse sped past anything that came their way. "That is quite the motivator- Huh?" Sheik smelled a burning fiery smell, but it was much closer, in fact, it is MUCH closer. He looked behind him, and saw that the carriage on fire. "Oh goddess! This is bad!" Sheik ran inside and saw everyone trying to put out the fire.
"Help us!" The king yelled, actually saying something that makes sense.
"Right!" Sheik grabbed the carpet with the triforce symbol on it and began putting out the fire. "There!" Sheik looked out the back of the carriage, and saw more bulblins riding on boars coming in for the kill. "C-Crap… We're in a tight spot…"
"I need to go out there. I need to defend my daughters!" The king reached into his suitcase, and pulled out a sheathed sword.
"Stop! I'm glad you're helping but you don't need to kill yourself!" Sheik stopped him.
"…I'm dead meat. I might as well help." Link got up and grabbed the sword.
"Stop Link! You're injured!"
"All the more reason to let me defend you." Link said, which caused Sheik to grab his shoulder harshly.
"You aren't going to kill yourself, Link. You've got a promise to keep." Sheik looked at him with his deadly red eyes.
"And I intend to keep it." Link glared back, which made Sheik back off in respect.
"…Don't die now." Sheik smiled at him.
"I'll see you at Lon Lon Ranch." Link said as he jumped out the carriage and watched it run off, as he unsheathed the sword and held it in his left hand. "It's my dominate hand… But it hurts so much…" He ran forward towards the bulblins riding boars. "Stay away from them… Die!" He jumped up at the first boar rider and slashed his chest open, which caused his lifeless body to drop to the ground. Link stood on his feet on top of the boar, as he looked at the bulblin archer. Link shoved his sword into its chest, and picked him up with it. The archer struggle and tried to get away, but Link flung the bulblin off of his sword to his left, watching it fly off to run into another pair on a boar, causing them to run into a tree. Link looked the right, and saw another pair of bulblins ready for attack. Link jumped from the boar he was on, and came down with a jump attack, but was interrupted by a kargorok. He fell down to the ground, ready to be trampled on. Ready to die. But he couldn't. He had a promise. He had to live. He sat up, still laying on the ground. He looked forward and saw the boar's legs coming this way. Link rolled to his side, to avoid death by being trampled on. Just as the boar ran beside him, Link side swiped him and slashed his sword at its legs, causing it to fall over, making the bulblins fall along with it. The three of the quickly got up. The bulblin that was steering the boar pulled out a club, and took a swing at Link. He dodged and countered with his own swing, stabbing him in the heart. The bulblin slipped off the sword, and then the bulblin archer was revealed to be aiming a fire arrow at Link. Link came in with a jump attack, slicing the enemy in two. After killing him, Link looked up at the kargorok, and saw it coming down to stab him with its beak. Link rolled forward, dodging the enemy's attack, which also gave him an opening. He turned around and stabbed the giant bird, instantly killing it.
Link was tired. He was tired and dirty with the blood of his enemies. He looked at his black clothes. They were hiding the blood, but it was still on his skin. He looked at his sword, also stained with the same blood. Link sheathed the sword and attached it to his back for easy access in case he sees any enemies. He looked down the path the horses went. "I'd better follow them…" Link closed his eyes. "…How did they know we were here…?"
