Legend of Zelda: Guardians of Vestria
Legend of Zelda Fanfiction
Author Note: One thing that I like about Legend Of Zelda is that every game that comes out can be treated like an AU, that's because each game is different from the last.
So this has inspired me to create my own Legend of Zelda Universe. And don't worry, it may not take place in Hyrule, but there will be A LOT of references…and racism… But don't let that stop you from reading :D
Summary:Link has lived in Vestria his whole life and had hidden his Haylian roots from the world. But the Princess of the country knows his secret and sends him on a quest to seek the three Guardians of Vestria. Along the way he meets a Gerudo Prince and a Zora Princess. Largely AU, and a dash of yaoi
Chapter 6
Its was still early morning when the sound of swords clashing echoed across an open field, startling a man driving his wagon filled with his crop toward town. When the farmer looked across the field from under his straw hat he saw a two young men clashing swords. One had darker skin and was taller. He also looked like he was better skilled with a blade while the shorter, paler skinned blonde looked as if he was still learning.
The farmer stopped his wagon for a moment to watch the two young men spar for a moment before he continued to drive his wagon toward the town. As he watched, he saw the larger man, push the shorter one to the ground.
"Ha ha ha!."
Gannon bellowed as Link hit the grass with a thud and then shoot him a glare.
"You need to learn how to keep your stance while fighting, that way you won't stumble as much."
The gerudo told him as Link stood up and brushed himself off.
"Yeah…"
The blonde muttered as he picked up his sword with his right hand and then tossed it to his left, finding it to be more comfortable to hold the sword.
"Alright, take that stance again, and lets try this one more time."
Gannon said as the man who was watching them from his wagon gave a soft chuckle and then continued to drive into the town as he heard the sounds of clashing swords ring in his ears.

It was mid morning before Gannon decided that Link had enough practice sparing as the two set off toward the next town. And as Link walked with his map in front of his face calculating in his mind how long it would take them to reach their next destination.
"You know that your going to trip if you keep doing that."
Gannon pointed out after a while as the Haylian raised an eye brow at him as he continued his silent calculations. It wasn't long however before Gannon's prediction came true. Link's foot hit a stone and he stumbled forward. As he fell to the dirt, he dropped his map.
"I told you."
Gannon said with a chuckle as he picked up the piece of paper and started to fold it as Link stood up as he dusted himself off.
"Why are you so glued to that map anyway?"
Gannon asked as He handed it back to the Haylian who took it and gave it a brief shake and glanced at it again.
"We got a late start today…"
Link said as the taller tanned man looked over his shoulder at the map.
"And?"
Gannon asked as he gave the cloaked blonde a questioning look.
"I'm trying to figure out a shorter route to the next town, mainly because its not safe after dark."
Link said as the Gerudo crossed his arms.
"And?"
He asked as the Haylian looked up at him finally.
"Monsters come out at night, like Stalfos."
"So?"
Gannon asked.
"So."
Link said as he started to fold the map.
"They are relentless and would attack anyone…legend has it that they are the lost souls of soldiers who died at war…"
Link said as he started walking down the path again as the Gerudo tailed behind him.
"Mmhmm… So you don't want to walk into one?"
Gannon asked as he glanced at the shorter young man who was walking just a ways ahead of him.
"Exactly…and because I'm still not very skilled with a sword…"
Link replied as a smirk spread across the gerudo's face.
"You know there is only one way to fix that…"
Gannon said as the Haylian tossed him a lazy glare.
"More sparing?"
He asked loosely.
"Nope."
Gannon said as he jumped up to Link's side, startling the blonde just a bit.
"Actual combat."
He added with a grin as Link gave him a confused look.
XXXX
"I hate you…"
Link grumbled as he held his sword in his left hand as Gannon twirled his twin scimitars in each hand as he grinned. Night had just fallen a few moments ago. And even though they had arrived at the next town a few minutes before dusk, Gannon insisted that they spend at least an hour just outside of the town to fight some monsters. And even though Link protested, he couldn't stop the giant man from tossing him over his shoulder and carrying him out of the hotel. This pulled a fit of laughter from the innkeeper at the front desk, humiliating the Haylian in an already awkward position.
"Oh come on! Fighting in combat isn't all that hard…you just have to make sure that you don't get killed…"
Gannon said as Link shot him a dark glare toward him.
"Not that you ass!"
Link cursed as the gerudo smirked at him with amusement.
"Did you have to make a scene back at the Inn!"
Link half yelled as Gannon laughed out loud.
"It was funny! And you'll thank me one day!"
He said with a grin as Link noticed a Stalfos rise from the ground from the corner of his eye.
"I will not thank you!"
Link said as the Stalfo's lunged for him as he narrowly blocked the attack with his shield.
"Alright whatever."
Gannon said as he cooled his amusement and to another Stalfos that was charging him. He blocked the attack with his right sword and then stabbed with his left sword.
"Gannon…their Skeletons…"
Link said as he swung his sword at the head of the stalfos he was fighting against. His blade hit the skull dead on and sent it flying across the field.
"I know that!"
Gannon said as he ripped his blade upward through the sternum then through the head. Meanwhile Link watched the Stalfos who he had just beheaded fumble about the field searching for its lost head.
"Link!"
Gannon called toward the blonde, pulling him from his distraction to glance toward the gerudo. As he looked toward Gannon, he noticed another Stalfos was about to lunge for him. Link narrowly dogged the skeleton's rusted sword as he took a jump backwards.
"Thanks."
Link called as Gannon kicked the Stalfos he had been fighting off of his blade while jamming his free scimitar into a skull of another.
"No problem, but don't count on it to happen again!"
Gannon said as he jogged up to the haylian to cover his back.
"You need to keep your eyes open at all times while in combat, you never know where the enemy will strike."
The gerudo explained further as Link gave the taller man a brief glance as he blocked the Stalfos' attact with his shield.
"You sure do know a lot about fighting…"
Link commented as he heard Gannon's swords cross blades with yet another stafos.
"Well…the Gerudo may be widely known to be a people of thieves but we are also a people of warriors."
The man said beaming with pride; so much that Link could feel it radiating from the gerudo. This however gave him a feeling of loss. He knew that he was a Haylian, but other than his race he had no knowledge of his people. But should that really matter?

"Whats eating you?"
Gannon asked as he dropped his weapons onto the floor with a load clatter, not really caring for the courtesy of silence that the other hotel guest expected. Link however gave the taller red head a confused look as he quietly placed his belongings in an open chair.
"What are you talking about?"
The blonde asked as he removed his cloak and draped it over the chair.
"I'm talking about the fight with the stalfos just now. You were doing fine and then you started to phase out."
The gerudo explained as the haylian ran his fingers through his blonde hair as he sighed.
"I don't know…"
He muttered as the tanned man gave him a quick glare as he watched the seventeen year old sit down on his bed. At this, Gannon walked up in front of the blonde and squatted to where he was looking at the haylian directly in the eyes. It took Gannon just a moment to find his words as he was mesmerized but Link's bright blue eyes, he found them to be even more beautiful than the most prized sapphire in all of the Gerudo Desert.
"You do know…"
Gannon said as Link looked at him oddly.
"You know what made you phase out, and phasing out while in combat can get you killed, whatever it was that was on your mind Link, you need to push it out of your mind while in combat. You can always think about it later."
Gannon said as Link nodded slowly at him. This made Gannon grin a bit and he stood up after allowing it to spread to the corners of his mouth. As he walked over to his side of the room he paused as his grin turned into a sly smile.
"By the way…"
Gannon started as he felt Link's odd stare in his back.
"Has anyone told you that you have beautiful eyes?"
The gerudo said. Gannon then imagined the Haylian's face to flush red as a pillow it his back.
"You ass! Go to bed!"
Link yelled at him as Gannon burst out into a fit of laughter. Flirting with the haylian was turning out to be a rather fun game and a great way to end his day.
End of Chapter 6
Author Notes:
Just to make one person happy, I had to go back through the past chapers and correct a spelling…
Pain…
Anyway, yeah…Gannon will now be referred to an ass by Link from time to time… yep…
Also, wanted to make this chapter longer but guess not, but you still got to see how Link learns how to use his sword. He is taught by Gannon, and since I don't want to keep writing this for the next 3 or so chapters, the next will have a fast forward and I can finally write about the first guardian :D
