Hello again everyone, and I have finally finished chapter 7! (cheers excitedly in the background again)
And now as usual, The Legend of Zelda series and characters belongs to Nintendo and the original plot belongs to: John Silver fan. Hope you enjoy =D
Link was stunned. After what he had just seen happen to Ganondorf, he felt himself be filled with worry for the man as he knelt beside him. But as he now noticed that the thought run through his mind, he started to question himself, why?! Why am I concerned for him?! This man had done nothing but orchestrate chaos and destruction in Hyrule that happened in the past two years, and yet he couldn't feel anything but worry for the man's own well being! The more that he thought about this, the more absurd and maddening the very idea was!
"...Link, are you ok? We need to get going and find a way out of here."
Startled by the voice, Link snapped his head towards Midna, almost forgetting that she was also there with him. Shaking the thought out of his head, he lifted the Gerudo with Midna's help as they went their way down the vast corridor. After a few minutes, they found themselves at the end of the tunnel that opened up to what looked like an abandoned city. The city itself was completely surrounded by the walls of the cave that it dwelled in with the exception of the opening right next to the border of the city, with the moon illuminating the darkness of the cave. The both of them were in complete awe of the sight, for they had never known that such a place existed.
As they made their way through the ancient city, they decided to take refuge in one of the more stable buildings. Midna stayed outside to keep on the look out for any trouble while Link went inside and carefully laid the unconscious man on the floor. Looking down at Ganondorf, he was trying to fight off the conflicting emotions inside him, unsure of what to make of this ordeal. He remembered that the stranger acted as if he knew the Gerudo on some personal level. He thought it odd at first when they had encountered the stranger back at the castle, and he was still unsure of what to make of him now. And Link swore that he heard Ganondorf say something before he passed out. Whether it was a name or something that the Gerudo was going to say to the stranger, he wasn't exactly sure.
Midna came back into the house a few minutes later and sat next to Link. "I didn't sense any presence other than ours, so I think we will be safe here for now" She said. Link only nodded silently as he continued to look upon the unconscious man. Midna looked at her friend with concern, she knew that during the time that they spent with the Gerudo when they were traveling, she felt the two men begin to make some sort of bond (although Ganondorf himself would never admit it) Smiling to herself, she looked back at Link before floating in front of him with a grin. "But don't worry, we'll be alright! Tell you what, I'll check how the old man is doing while you keep watch, ok?" And before Link could say anything, she fazed into Ganondorf's chest, leaving him alone with the unconscious man and with a very shocked expression on his face.
And that's it for chapter 7! It kinda took a while to figure out what to do with this one but I believe that it turned out really well. Hope you guys had fun reading and I'll be back with another chapter sometime during the week, so stay tuned!
