Hey guys! Last chapter had a bolding switch. This is because I had to switch word programs and when I uploaded chapter 5, it changed the bolding so now I switched the bolding here. If it doesn't work well, please try to bear it. Moving on. Knil found the flag on the enemy ship. Now he needs to piece together the puzzle thrown at him. I do not own Zelda or Nintendo.
Chapter 6: Lies and Return
Knil folded up the flag stuffed it in his pocket. It wasn't a very big flag so it didn't show much. He found a plank bridging the gap between the two ships. He drew his sword and ran across to find that things were pretty much wrapped up. He battled his way to Tetra to get an update from her. She noticed him and asked, "So? What did you find?"
"The flag was completely blank! There was nothing on it!"
"Well that's odd."
"Tell me about it. So what's going on over here?"
She ran her sword through a moblin and said, "Oh, the usual in a battle."
Knil dodged a swipe and cut across a moblin's face. Soon the last enemy was defeated. Tetra looked around to see her crew was still alive, but they were bloodied up and most had major injuries. She turned to Knil and said, "Time to put that fancy sword to use!" He simply nodded and went from pirate to pirate. After everyone was fixed, got cleaned up, and refreshed themselves, they continued on their way to Windfall. Knil used that time to think about the flag he took from the ship. He lied to Tetra. The flag was not blank. There was a design on it. It still chilled him for it was something he never thought he would see again. Just then Tetra walked over. "Is there something wrong?"
Knil nodded. "I have the feeling something big is coming up. An event that will change our lives."
Tetra waited for him to continue. "The ship that attacked us, I believe it's just one of a whole fleet."
That got to Tetra. 'A fleet?' she thought. She remembered the fight. The monsters did seem to be fighting for a purpose and not just going around causing trouble. Knil was right, something big was going to happen. They continued on to Windfall Island where they would stay for awhile. Tetra and the crew walked to the inn and went inside. She walked up to the clerk.
"Why good evening young miss! What can I do for you?"
"We need rooms for 16 if you can manage."
"Well not single rooms, but I can put you in for quads."
"How many?"
"I can put you up for three quads and four singles. Will that be alright?"
"Yes please." She handed him two silver rupees. And he gave her the keys in return. The crew put several tables together so they could all talk. They were discussing something about there upcoming journey when Tetra approached. "Okay here is how it's gonna work. Me, Knil, Gonzo, and Senza will have separate rooms. The rest will split into groups of four." The crew debated on who will be where. They decided and Tetra passed out the keys. They all ordered a round of drinks and after a while, a waiter approached the table.
"Pardon me but is there anyone here by the name of Knil?" Knil nodded his head up to get his attention. "Oh! Well sir, there is a man outside who wishes to speak with you."
"Did he give any names?"
"Oh yes, his name is Richard."
"Very well I will be right there." The waiter walked off and Knil got up to leave when Tetra asked, "Who's Richard?"
"He is another ranger one of the masters."
"Alright" Knil walked out of the building and Richard was right there.
"How are you doing old friend?" he asked.
"Well enough but I have come to deliver news." Richard replied.
"What's wrong?"
"Did a ship full of monsters attack you on the way here?" Knil nodded. "Well several others have been spotted and are all around the Great Sea apparently looking for someplace."
"I thought so. But you will never believe what I found. I had snuck aboard there ship and taken there flag. On the flag was a ….."
Back in the inn, the crew was starting to head for their rooms as it was getting late, and they needed to find supplies tomorrow. Knil walked in and, to Tetra's surprise, he looked a little squirmish.
She asked, "What's wrong now?"
"I will tell you all in the morning since half the crew is out for the night." he replied solemnly.
Tetra nodded and handed him his room key. He walked out of the room leaving Tetra eager to find out what was going on.
The next morning, Knil had announced what he heard from Richard, that there were more ships and even more possibly waiting. They had all debated on what was going on when Tetra spoke up. "Alright! I know this is troubling but we have to put this off for now. We need to stock up on supplies so we will split in teams for now. One team will get bombs, we need about 25 crates to start and we'll get more if we need to. Another team will get some help with repairs on the ship. And the last team will get our weapons fixed and cleaned up and get new ones if we need to. That should start for now. So let's move!"
"Aye Miss!" The crew split and went to perform their given tasks. The repairs would take a few days so they would have to stay for a while. Several days later, the repairs where complete and they had gotten all the supplies they needed. They had planned on leaving the next day so they had a last chance to do whatever they needed to prepare.
Gonzo spoke, "Well Miss Tetra, I think this will be a good trip."
"I sure hope so Gonzo. But I am worried that something will happen when we're gone."
Knil just ran in and said, "You have a right to worry!"
Just minutes earlier, Knil had decided to take a walk out under the stars. He was gazing at the ocean, when a flash caught his eye to the left. He say something on the beach and decided to investigate. When he got closer, he saw what ever it was, it was put into the sand on purpose. When he drew closer the outline was familiar. When he got to it, the object was unmistakable. Lying before him stuck into the sand, was the Legendary Master Sword.
And that's it! I thought it was a cool idea to still not tell you guys what was on the flag. But what now? Knil has found the Master Sword! What does this mean? I am about to start on the action packed chapters. Please review and keep reading. Updates are usually daily!
