Anime Wildfire
Link carefully snuck into one of the rooms, which he instantly recognized as the throne room, the same room he had last seen Willie in.
Link heard voices coming closer, so he quickly ducked behind the king's throne, not even daring to see where the person, or persons, were.
"-Quiet thing-"
"Shouldn't we be-"
"What?"
"Shouldn't we being looking for that boy's father? Link, the hero of time?" one of the men said.
"Nah, it's not like he's in this room right now or anything. Now of the other guards have seen so much as a wink of him. Maybe he even decided not to rescue his son. Yep, he recognized my talents as a soldier and ran away scared! That's what it is!" The guard boasted confidently. Link rolled his eyes from behind the throne and waited until sir boast-a-lot and his friend left the room. The he stealthily slipped out from behind the throne and made his way towards the gold hallway.
Just as the maid had said, there were guards in front of Willie's room, there was only two of them, and Link knew he could take them easily, but he also knew the noise would bring every soldier in the castle running.
Hm… maybe I should… no wait! I've got it! Link thought, reaching for his bow, he pulled out two ice arrows. He aimed one at each of the guards and…
Freeze! The two guards froze in place, unable to move. Link grinned to himself and headed down the hallway. The guard's eyes flickered in his direction, their faces completely frozen in a look of surprise. Link saluted them and tried to open the door. It was locked. A graceful kick and the door cracked. Link shoved it aside and stepped into the room.
"Link!" A voice cried, and a small blue blur flew over to Link, hugging his cheek with all her might.
"Long time no see Navi." Link said, grinning.
"DADDY!" a voice shouted, Link turned to see Willie running straight for him. Link opened his arms and hugged his son, a single tear running down his cheek.
"Um, I'd hate to break up this little reunion, but we really need to get out of here before the guards unfreeze." Navi said, pointing to the guards in front of Willie's door.
"Navi's right." Link said, he stood up. "Com' on you two, we've got to get out of here." He said. He picked Willie up and headed out, Willie waved to the guards as they left.
"So Link, how exactly are you planning on getting us out of here?" Navi whispered, standing on Link's shoulder.
"I have no idea Navi, I'm thinking this up as I go along." Link replied, making his way back to the throne room, Willie cuddled against his shoulder.
"Maybe you should try going out the way you came in?" Navi suggested. Link winced, through his mind flashed the king, his crushed hand, avoiding the king's feet, the maid, and sneaking through the whole castle.
"That's not gonna happen Navi." Link said, "Well you'd better think fast- someone's coming!" Navi said, pointing to the floor. Sure enough, a shadow was moving in their direction. Link glanced around and spotted a door to his left. He raced over and snuck inside seconds before one of the guards walked around the corner.
"Link! What is this room! I can't see a thing!" Navi whispered. "Shhhh!" Link hissed, setting Willie down and pressing his ear to the door. Willie copied him.
Link grinned down at his, then concentrated on listening, nothing.
"Ok Navi, it's safe, I was afraid there might have been someone outside the door." Link said.
"I listen!" Willie said, pressing his ear to the door just like he has seen Link do.
Link grinned and ruffled Willie's blonde hair. "Again, I'd hate to break this up, but we gotta get out of here." Navi said, sitting on Willie's shoulder.
Link nodded, "you're right Navi, we need to concentrate on getting out of here." He started looking around.
"I just have no idea where we are." He said, Navi rolled her eyes, then her face lit up.
"Don't you have a Deku stick?" she asked, flying up so she was hovering next to Link's face.
"Good idea Navi, just one problem, what do I light it with?" Link said. Navi rolled her eyes again.
"Link, use your head. You have Din's fire don't you?" she said. Link nodded.
"Well then use it to light a Deku stick!" Navi said, waving her arms.
"I can't. I might her you and Willie." Link said,
"We could hide behind your shield." Navi said, Link's face brightened up.
"That just might work!" he said. He carried Willie next to the wall and slipped his shield off his back. He propped it against the wall and made a little shelter-like thing. Navi flew under it with Willie.
Link pulled out A Deku stick and Din's fire. Then he used Din's fire; luckily Navi and Willie were under Link's shield and were spared from the flames.
Link put Din's fire away, the Deku stick burning brightly. He slipped his shield onto his back and helped Willie up.
"Let's go you two." He said, he started walking deeper into the room. There was a lot of old furniture around the room. Navi landed on a desk and started sneezing from all the dust. She decided to retreat to Link's shoulder after that.
"I remember this room now." Link said. Navi looked up brightly. "You do?" she said. Link nodded.
"Yeah, this is where Zelda and I used to meet, her father couldn't know about our marriage, or he'd break us up. So we'd come here, this was the only place we could see each other without our marriage being exposed. Whenever we saw each other around the castle, we had to pretend we weren't married. This was the only place we could meet as a husband and wife." Link said. (Don't get any ideas you perverts! Their relationship isn't like that! They mostly just spent time together, reading, talking, playing chess, and maybe a little kissing. But mostly just enjoying each other's company.)
"You used to meet her in this dump?" Navi said in disbelief, wrinkling her nose. Link rolled his eyes.
"Of course not. There's a hidden room in the back." Link said. He walked past the mountains of furniture until he reached the fireplace at the end of the room. Touching one of the bricks, the back slid up and Link was able to go in, followed by Willie of course.
On the other side of the fireplace was a large room. There was a sofa in the middle of the room facing another fireplace, bookshelves lined one of the walls, and a chess table with dusty pieces sat near the bookshelves, along with two chairs pressed against the wall, a torch between them and a few dusty blankets on the chairs.
"What a cozy little room!" Navi exclaimed, she flew around the room.
"I can just imagine the two of you meeting here, oh it's so romantic!" she said. Willie walked over to the fireplace, where a picture of Link and Zelda was sitting on the top.
"Daddy! What dat?" he said, pointing to the picture. Link walked over and picked Willie up.
"That's me Willie, me and you mother." He said. "Mommy?" Willie said, pointing to Zelda. Link nodded.
"That picture of us was taken at a festival, Zelda and I had snuck out so her father couldn't know. While we were walking around, a man offered to take our picture. We had a copy made of it two. One Zelda has, and this is the original." Link said to Navi after she's flown over.
"You both look so happy in that picture." Navi said. Link nodded. He turned around and glanced around the room. Memories of the two of them swelled up inside him.
"Hey Link, how are we going to get out of here?" Navi asked, plopping down on Willie's long hair, her chin in her hands.
"Don't worry Navi, there's a secret passage in this room, it leads out to the soldier's quarters." Link said, "honestly, how'd you think I got in here to meet Zelda?"
Link put Willie down and walked over to the bookshelf on the far left side of the room. He pulled out one of the books and the bookshelf slid to the side, revealing a large, dark tunnel.
"We have to go down that tunnel?" Navi said, Link nodded. "Yep, don't worry about it though, I went down this tunnel hundreds of times." Link said. Navi glared it him.
"Ok, so it was more like 90 times. Hey, can't a guy exaggerate a little bit?" Link said, shrugging his shoulders and heading down the tunnel with Willie. Navi glanced behind her, not so sure if she wanted to go into the creepy tunnel. But the sight of Link leaving without her changed her mind, and she sped after them.
"Hey Link, where did you say this tunnel ended?" Navi asked ten minutes later.
"It ends by the soldier's quarters, so we'll have to be real careful when we sneak out." Link said,
"Good luck with that." Navi muttered to herself. Willie had fallen asleep against Link's shoulder, his little hand clutching Link's tunic.
Navi sat next to Willie's head on Link's shoulder and sighed. "Aw, he's so cute." She said before she cuddled up against Link's neck and fell asleep.
Link grinned at both Willie and Navi, and continued until he reached the end of the tunnel.
The sun was still high in the sky, and Link knew he's have to be careful in order to not get caught. As he stepped out of the tunnel, he noticed immediately that there weren't any guards around. He sighed from relief.
Link stealthy crept along the outer wall, keeping an eye out for any guards coming his way. Just as he was about to climb over some vines near the edge of the garden, and voice said.
"Don't move." Link turned around, and noticed it was the same soldier from the throne room, the one that boasted that Link was scared of him.
"I'm turning you in, then I'll be a big hero, and then the king will be so grateful that he'll insist that I become one of his high ranking knights." The man boasted, drawing his sword and pointing it at Link.
Link rolled his eyes and laid Willie and Navi down under a tree before drawing the master sword and facing the soldier.
"I knew you'd come, I knew you wouldn't be able to resist saving that boy. Mr. thinks-he's-a-big-hero. I'm gonna out you in your place." The man said,
"But in the throne room, I could have sworn you said that I wasn't coming to rescue my son, and that I was too scared to show up. What do you think now?" Link said with a grin.
"How would you know what I said in the-" the man's mouth closed when he realized what Link was saying.
"You… the throne room…" he stuttered. Link grinned again.
"Are you going to stand there all day or are you going to fight me?" Link said. The soldier bared his teeth and leaped at Link, his sword raised high. Link easily blocked the attack and unbalanced the man, causing him to stumble and fall.
Link took a step away from the man, he didn't want to hurt him unless absolutely necessary. The man pulled himself to his feet and glared at Link. He raised his sword and charged at Link again, Link braced himself for and easy block, but was surprised when the man struck him with such force that he flew back and slammed into the wall, creating an indent.
The soldier smirked, Link pulled himself off the wall and stepped forward, rolling his arm, one hand on his shoulder.
"I don't want to hurt you." Link said, moving into a stance that clearly showed he was ready for battle.
"Hurt me! Ha! You couldn't hurt a fly if it was right in front of you!" the man taunted, he was trying to get Link wired up, and it was working.
Link grit his teeth and tried to keep his cool, but the man was push his patience.
"People say you're so high and might, just because you're the hero of time!" the man said, continuing his taunting. Not a good idea.
Link charged at the man, his sword crashing into the soldier's and sending it flying twenty feet into the air until hit a tree and fell to the ground. He had pushed Link's patience far enough; he got Link mad, very mad. The man turned back to face Link, his eyes filled with Terror.
Link's eyes were like ice; he raised his sword high in the air. The man dropped to his knees, pleading for his life. But Link wasn't that cruel. He brought the back of his sword to the back of the man's head, knocking him unconscious. Link dragged him over to the bushes and hid them there. Glancing over towards Willie and Navi, he was they had woken up and were watching him. The noise must have woken them up, although Willie still looked tired. And as soon as Link picked him up he fell back asleep against Link's shoulder, but this time his hand clutched the tip of Link's green hat.
"Com' on Navi, let's get out of here." Link said, Navi nodded and Link climbed over the wall and dropped to the other side. He didn't have to sneak much to get to the gate- most the soldiers were in the castle looking for him.
Link managed to get back to his house without being spotted by any guards; the king hadn't thought to have guards at Link's house. (He figured he's never even get out of the castle, ha! Shows what he knows.)
"Navi, we have to move." Link said, laying Willie down on the couch. The boy was still sleeping.
"Where are we gonna go?" Navi asked, sitting on the top of the block castle she and Willie had made.
"We can't leave Hyrule market place, that's exactly what the king expects us to do. We can stay in the city and move to another part of the market place, I heard the south side is really nice…" Link said.
"I don't understand, why not just move to Kokiri forest or Kakariko village?" Navi said,
"That's what the king expects us to go. He thinks he knows me well; he thinks I'd take Willie and go straight to Kokiri forest, but he's wrong. He'll send his men looking all over Hyrule looking for us, and the while time we'll be right under his nose!" Link said. Navi grinned.
"I like it, so when do we move?" she asked. "As soon as possible." Link said glancing down at the sleeping form of Willie.
Next chapter! Willie's new friend! Also, in this story, Hyrule has a school, if you can't imagine it, I'll try and explain it a little better, but right now I can'y think of anything to say. I also haven't gotten the Wii yet, and I go back to school January 2... life really stinks sometimes...
