Who would name their son Dorgann? I couldn't find a suitable Zelda character to replace him with.
Chapter 5: The Canal
Link woke with a start. A nightmare had plagued him that night. One of his father and mother.
"Hmm... I remember Dad talking about crystals..." he said. He walked into Zokk's living room.
-X-
He was about four. His parents were having a heated argument.
"I don't see why you can't just settle down Dorgann!"
"Stella, something's wrong. I can feel it. I have to check them to make sure."
"You have a son to take care of! I thought you put all your friends behind you when you-"
"Fine. I'll stay, but don't tell Link about the crystals until he's at least fifteen. By then, he'll be able to handle the danger."
"How do you know?"
"I was fifteen when I did."
She fell silent.
Link heard his mom walk to her room as Dorgann walked over to him.
"I'm sory, Link. I have to go. Take care of your mother for me while I'm gone, OK?"
He turned around.
"STELLA!!"
Link jumped out of bed. His mom had collapsed.
-X-
He saw Zokk come into the room.
"You OK?"
"Yeah. Just thinking of my late parents."
Zokk looked thoughtful for a moment. Then he produced a key.
"Here. This is the key to the canal. I know that the king of Walse won't listen to the Chancellor. You have to warn him in person. Don't tell Zelda that I gave this to you."
He gave Link the key and walked up to his room.
That morning, they sailed to the canal again, where Link opened it up.
"Where did you get the key!?"
"Not important. Let's go."
They kept sailing, then they felt a whirlpool begin to pull their ship in.
"I can't hold it! Syldra! Pull us out!" shouted Tetra.
"Too late! It's got us!" shouted Link.
"Move over!" shouted Zelda.
A lobster appeared in the center of the whirlpool. This one looked dangerous and a little angry.
"Lightning!" shouted Zelda, shooting a bolt of lightning at the lobster.
It hit, and the lobster began to fall back into the whirlpool, but not before it managed to grab Syldra and pull it free of it's chains.
"Syldra!!" shouted Tetra.
Syldra shot a blast of energy at the lobster, and it connected. The lobster was down for the count, but the blast left Syldra too weak to fight the current. She sank under and didn't come up.
"SYLDRA!!!!!"
Tetra began trying to jump over after her.
"No!"
They grabbed her. She fought, then gave up.
"Tetra, you couldn't have done anything." said Link.
She punched him in the stomach.
"I COULD HAVE SAVED HER!!!"
Then she stormed downstairs.
Bye Syldra. See you near the climax of the story. R&R
