Forethought
Update: I've gotten a total of one review. I NEED MORE!
I know, it took me twice as long as usual to post this chapter, (2 days,) but I had a bit of writers block. Here's why:
Call this chapter the filler chapter. Some information may be important, but some may not, you never know. Review, or else…I'll…Something….something…something. Okay, listen, just review.
Disclaimer: The only things of this story I own, are the town names, THIS story's Link, Wing, and, as far as you know, Tetra…
"So where exactly are we going?" Link asked before they had set out that morning.
"First things first." Wing had replied. "We need to get you a shield."
After that, they had set out on their journey. Link following them completely, but still skeptical of whether or not to trust them. Of course, they got out of the underground town without Link finding out how. That still bothered him, not knowing, or even being able to think of a possibility, of how they got in and out. It was apparently supposed to be a secret held by the people of this village. The idea of everybody but him in that town knew something he didn't bothered him even more. He still had somewhat of a headache, but by now he was used to it, and it had weakened to a point where he could think almost clearly.
After awhile of walking, where Link was simply following Wing and Tetra, Link said, "So what exactly is the plan? What are we going to do after we get the shield?"
"We need some emblems!" Tetra said, not really explaining what they were going to do.
Link thought only of what he had overheard the night before. Something about a plan of theirs.
"Like I said, the weapon we need to get cannot be obtained for now." Wing explained. "But when we collect these three emblems, we CAN obtain it."
"What exactly do you mean?" Link wasn't satisfied.
"This sword is, in a way, magical. It is a sword stuck in marble, and it is impossible to pull it out without these three emblems, as if they were a key."
This seemed familiar to Link. He had heard of a legend of a sword that can only be obtained when someone had three emblems.
"Wait, I've heard of something like that." Link racked his brain to try to remember what it was called.
"The Mastersword?"
"You know the legend?!" Tetra screamed in excitement.
"The Legend of…Zelda, right?" Link remembered what it was called.
"You know the Legend of Zelda." Wing said, as if she didn't believe it.
"Is it strange that I do?" Link was confused. In the legend, it said that a dark force came over a once-peaceful land, until someone who was later known as the Hero of Time, came and used the Mastersword to defeat this dark force.
"Well, I'm sure you've never been to, or even heard of the land the legend originated from." Wing said.
"True…" Link said. "But the legend itself has been passed down from my family for generations."
"STOP!" Tetra suddenly whispered very loudly. "Look over there!"
Link looked in the direction Tetra pointed and saw three creatures that sort of looked like…
"Moblins." Wing said.
"Who?" Link asked.
"Moblins." Tetra repeated. "They used to work for the dark force in the Legend of Zelda."
"And after all this time, Moblins would attack anything and everything that hasn't already been known to work or aid that dark force." Wing added, in the same calm tone in everything she said.
Link took the moment to notice that she said everything calmly, and he wondered how she could handle staying so calm all the time. Or is it an act..?
"That means they'll attack us?" Link assumed, getting his thoughts back on the subject.
"Probably." Tetra said. "So should we attack first?" She smiled almost maliciously.
Link looked uncertainly at Tetra. Thoughts of Moblins being peaceful creature that Tetra and Wing had a grudge against ran through his mind, but he shook them off and said, "How about we walk around them, and see if they attack us?"
"So you are the kind of person that only attacks when attacked?" Wing observed. "Very admirable."
"Admirable?" Link wasn't sure about that.
"It is admirable." Wing said, as if reading Link's thoughts. "In that way, you avoid attacking anybody that is peaceful even if you thought otherwise. And even if you were to attack an enemy, that enemy might not have attacked you, and that would cause a grudge."
"Admirable means 'admire-able,' right?" Tetra gestured air-quotes.
"Yes." Wing responded while looking at the Moblins.
One of the Moblins saw the group standing there, and alerted the other two. The three of them grabbed nearby sticks, and started walking toward the group slowly and threateningly.
"Draw your sword Link." Wing said quickly yet somehow calmly.
Link drew the sword from his belt, and Wing did the same. One of the Moblins ran suddenly toward Link, but was cut off by Wing, who took it by surprise, and sliced it in half. Well, Link noted, she would have, if the Moblin had any sign of cut marks, even as it fell to the ground, and disappeared into a puff of black and purple smoke.
Another came at Wing, but Link didn't see what happened next, because he was attacked by the third one. It dived its stick as though it was a sword straight down at Link, in a way that reminded him of the fish-monster. Link could think quickly enough to figure that this Moblin was lighter enough than the fish for him to be able to block the attack without the Moblin crushing him.
The Moblin was actually lighter than Link expected. It fell back as soon as its stick made contact with Link's sword. Link took the opportunity to quickly attack the Moblin. It disappeared with a puff of purple and black smoke.
Link looked at Wing, who had already finished off her own Moblin. "That was easier than I expected."
"You could say that Moblins have sort of gotten mild throughout they many many many years they've been absent from the dark force." Wing said.
"So why do they disappear in a puff of smoke like that?" Link wanted to know.
"I honestly have no idea." Wing said. "I have a theory, though."
"Of course you do." Link said. "Tell it to me."
"I think they may not be dead, but instead transported to where they originally came from, and they may later get sent back to the spot they got 'killed' when no one's there."
"We need to keep going." Tetra said.
Link, Tetra, and Wing walked for a long time. Link got suspicious when they walked into a forest the Wing called, "The Lost Woods," especially after she explained that there are probably 20 or so Lost Woods in the world, and they each work the same way; You have to go the right way, and if you make a wrong turn, you end up at the entrance. Tetra got them through with a map, that Link wondered how it could exist.
A lot of theories of those two tricking him into going into some strange area of something or other ran through his mind, but they got through the forest and the theories proved false.
After the sun started setting, Link finally said, "Tell me the EXACT location of where we are going. How close are we?"
"We are going to the Goron Enclaves." Wing said. The Gorons specialize in mining for metals, which makes the Enclaves perfect for blacksmithing."
"The perfect place for a shield!" Tetra added.
"And it's about 5 miles away, so we can get there tomorrow." Wing said. "We ought to get packing up for the night."
"We only have one tent, so we'll have to share it." Tetra said, completely unexcited.
It wasn't a big tent, so the three of them were somewhat crowded, but Link was used to that, so he didn't mind too much.
"Are you guys comfy enough?" Tetra asked, Wings foot in her face.
"I guess." Link said, Tetras foot in his face.
"Comfy enough." Wing said, Links foot in her face.
"Rest well." Wing said. "We've a longer day ahead of us than behind."
There was a long silence, as they tried to sleep despite what was ahead.
After awhile, Link said, "Wing? You awake?"
"Yes," was the reply.
"Why exactly are you wrapped in whatever cloth that is?"
Wing sighed. "There are some things people have to do, even though people would hate them if they knew they did that."
"That doesn't really answer my question." Link said, careful of his tone, as not to offend her.
"Have you ever been asked a question that you knew the answer to, but you would do anything to avoid answering?"
"I get it." Link sighed. He knew there was nothing to do now, but to fall asleep, to await the morning…
