Chapter Four: The Mysterious Duo on the way to Kakariko Village Part One

Link woke up to the smell of cucco eggs frying, so he jumped out of bed, quickly changed, and headed into the kitchen where Hikari, the Elemental Wielder of Water, was cooking dinner.

"Hey, Link! I see you slept in a little too late," Hikari joked, glancing over his shoulder to see Link awake."If you would have slept another hour, I would have to wake you up!"

"Well, don't worry, I'm already fully awake. Where's the glass and orange juice?"

"In that cabinet is the glass, and the orange juice is on the table." Hikari explained.

"So, how's Korro?" Link asked, pouring himself a glass of juice and taking a sip.

Hikari came up to the table and set his and Link's plates down,"Doing fine, a little more rest, and he should be able to run again." After sitting down, Hikari drew out his Four Swords and inspected it more,"I remember telling myself that was going to explore the world of Hyrule, guess that day is today."

Link, chewing on some scrambled eggs and and bacon, nodded. "That was the same thing I told myself, and now, I'm going around Hyrule looking for the Elemental wielders so we can defeat Vaati."

"That reminded me, I bought this at market when I went to go check on Korro," Hikari pulled out a scroll and handed it to Link.

Opening it, Link found it was the map of Hyrule."Thanks Hikari, I was going to buy one when I finished eating! So let's see, we're at the Village of the Blue Maiden, you think we could go to Kakariko Village next?"

"I heard that Kakariko Village is far. . . .is it?"

"Well, if we leave by the afternoon, then we'll probably make it to the village by tomorrow."

"Tomorrow sounds great to me. Are you finish yet?"

Link looked down at his half empty plate, then looked at Hikari's finished plate, realizing that Hikari was eating while Link was talking. "Um, not really."

Hikari got up from his seat,"I'm going to check on Korro again, until then, you could go out and get what you need from the shops out in the market square. There isn't much after that invasion yesterday, but I'm sure you'll find enough supplies to last us until we get to Kakariko Village."

"OK, I'll see if I could find anything useful to use on the way to Kakariko village," Link answered, getting up from his seat after finishing his breakfast. Once outside, the village became busy, people going to work here, people buying things there, and carpenters repairing houses and buildings that fell under Vaati's kidnapping of the Blue maiden.

Link took out his pull-string bag, opened it, and pour out some shiny gems on his palm, some gems where red, others blue, most of them green. He quickly poured it back into his bag and hid it in his secret pocket that was on the inside of his tunic.

Meanwhile back in the stables, Hikari was petting his elk as he feed it sweet carrots that he also bought while buying the map for Link. "So Korro, how do you feel?" he asked his steed.

The elk let out a happy snort and began to nibble on his fifth carrot. "Well, I should start packing my stuff, we're going on a adventure to save the maidens and the Princess."

Korro snort as he looked at Hikari with a sad look."Hikari just smiled,"Don't worry! I'll be bringing you along also! It's the possible dangers to you is what I'm worrying about. But I'm sure nothing is going to happen to you. Well, I'll be right back!" The young boy then left the stables to his house.

Link returns to Hikari's house with all the needed supplies. "So are you ready?" Link asked Hikari, packing the supplies in packs.

"Sure, we just need to take these packs to Korro's stall," Hikari answered, setting a sign up on the door that said,'Hikari's fish selling business has ended.'

Link lifted up two bags, "Alright, lets get going." Hikari took a last look around his house, then closed and lock the door with a key. After putting his key in his pocket, he picked up the remaining bags and lead Link to the smelly stall where his elk has been waiting.

Hikari led Korro out of his stall as he and Link began to set the packs on his back. Before long, the four traveling packs were loaded on Korro. "Say Link, you have a heavy cloak? I also heard that between Kakariko and here, it's nothing but frozen tundra." Hikari explained, tightening the rope on the pack.

"Yup, in this pack right here," Link patted the bag that rested on Korro's left shoulder."Hey, um, can Korro carry all this stuff?"

Hikari and Link began to walk out of the small village,"Yep he can, he's use to carry all sorts of weights before. How long until we reach Kakariko village again?"

Link took out his map again,"Well, If we only stop to camp and rest for a night, we might get there in mid afternoon."

"OK, Just curious," Hikari replied, examining his Four Swords he earned. The air around the trio began to grow cold steadily.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Some place else in Hyrule, two young boys trudge in knee high snow against a strong snowstorm. A young boy with red fox ears and scruffy red hair began to lag behind rapidly, wrapping a dark blanket around him tightly as he coughed.

The other boy ahead, stop to glance behind at his partner,"Yo-Ko, Are you alright?" He walked up to his partner.

Yo-Ko nodded,"I'm fine, it's the temperate that I can't stand." The young boy coughed again as his fox tail drooped to the ground.

The boy took his glove off and pressed his hand against Yo-Ko's skin. "You're not fine Yo-Ko."

"What?"

"You're already developing a fever, it's not that bad right now, but I'm afraid that if we stop somewhere in this weather,even for an hour, then the fever could get worse," the boy explained, covering his hand with the glove to protect it from the freezing, sharp winds.

Suddenly a roar filled the air as a shadow loomed past by the two, striking a cold feeling at the bottom of their stomachs. "There's one here too? Danggit.!" the young boy cursed, drawing out a beautifully, polished white blade from the sheath that hung on his back.

A huge monster landed before the two, a gold collar with a red gem encrusted in the middle glisten in the faint sun light. The dragon released a fire ball from it's mouth, melting the snow around it as it traveled fast at the boy and Yo-Ko.

The armed youth grabbed the kitsune and jumped to the side, narrowly missing the flaming inferno. The dragon slam it's tail between the two boys, stunning the both. The impact caused the blade to fly out of the boy's hand, disappearing in the snow.

"Prince Link! You're blade," the kitsune cried out. Prince Link dove towards where the blade disappeared, avoiding the monster's claws. Prince Link reached his hand around franticly for the smooth handle of his blade. The dragon ignited another fire ball that began to fly towards Prince Link.

The boy's hand brushed against the smooth handle off his blade, then quickly, he grabbed it and swung it at the fire ball, reflecting it back at the monster. The fire spell slammed into the seventy-five-foot long dragon, causing it to fall on it's side. Unfortunately, the dragon happen to be on the same cliff that Yo-Ko was standing on, and when the dragon crashed down on the ground, the cliff began to gave away.

"Yo-Ko!" Prince Link called out to the kitsune that scrabbled madly towards the ledge where Prince Link was standing on. The ebony black dragon spread it's wings and jumped off the cliff, falling away from the collapsing geographical structure.

The Cliff broke off, sending bits of rock, snow, and the kitsune falling into a crevice. "Link!" The voice of the kitsune screamed, fading away.

"Yo-Ko!" The boy screamed back. He squinted through the storm and saw that the crevice was that deep. Prince Link scouted the ledge and began to decent down the cliff.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The air already became cold enough to send breath clouds in the air caused by the trio breathing out. "Holy Lon Lon cows, this place is COLD!" Link whined, rubbing his arms.

"Trust me, right now is summer, think how cold it gets when it comes to winter," Hikari pointed out, adjusting his cloak. Something ahead suddenly caught his eyes, there a few yards off, was a heap of red and navy blue lying on the ground among huge, boulder-like rocks. Hikari began to run towards the heap.

"Hey Hikari, where are you going?" Link asked, stopping in his tracks and watch the fisher boy run off some distance ahead. The elk stood next to Link, unmoving despite the strong, icy winds.

"Link! Come over here!" Hikari called to Link once he got to where he was heading. Link and Korro ran up to Hikari quickly as he knelt down beside the heap.

"What is it?"

"A kitsune boy," Hikari answered, lifting the kitsune's head up. The two boys notice the boy panting faster and deep. "And he's still alive."

Link however, notice that the boy was sweaty and was blushing. He reached over and place a hand on the Kitsune's face, but pulled it back at the heat of his skin. "Hikari, he's burning with fever."

Hikari also placed a hand on the red hair boy's forehead and pulled it back, "You're right, but his temperate is too hot. He needs medical attention fast. If we don't, then for sure, he's going to die."

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
