Chapter 8! Legend of the Herion of Winds!
The three appeared in another part of the palace.
Neri returned to her human form while Vaati sat down, gasping for air.
"God damn it. Why the hell is he back?!" Neri said starting to walk away from her father.
"I'm surprised you know him." Ezlo commented.
Vaati stood up. "Where do you think your going?" he asked his daughter, sounding pissed.
Neri raised her eyebrows at Vaati's sharp tone. She was sure she didn't do anything so why would he snap at her?
"....Where do you think? I'm going home to get the Master Sword and make sure Ganondork stays sealed." Neri said, walking away.
"No."
The young dragoness stopped.
"What?" she said.
"No, you are not going up against him. Not until you explain what he wants with you." Vaati said.
Neri frowned. There was an edge to Vati's voice that she'd never heard before.
It was stern and commanding. Neri knew he wasn't joking this time.
She sighed. "Fine. I'll tell you but you won't like it."
She fell silent for a few mintunes trying to get her thoughts together.
"I'm waiting..." Vaati said, crossing his arms.
Neri glared. "And your too damn fast. I'll tell you when I get good damned and ready."
Finally she said very qiuetly, "It wasn't too long ago to be exact. Just three months, to be truthful. Both Lisat and Link and had left the island at the time so I had dicided to go visit mum grave site."
She stopped and took a breath. "So there I was at my mom's grave, when Ganon shows up ranting about Link not having the sacred power and there wouldn't be anyone else who had it. I didn't know what he was talking about at the time so I thought he was just crazy. But later I had learned that I did carry the triforce...."
Both Ezlo and Vaati stared at her dumbstruck. "You... ?" Ezlo asked trailing off.
"Show it to me." Vaati said, causing Neri to squrim uncortfortably.
"Do I have to?"
Vaati just stared at her.
"Fine..." she said, taking off the glove on her left hand. And there, to both adults uncanny surprise, was the Triforce, glowing in bright gold.
"That is impossible! You are neither the daughter of the royal family-sorry Vaati but there's no way you could have pulled that doozer off-nor are you the male chosen hero!"
"Shut. Up. Ezlo. Explain furthur, Neri."
So for the next hour, Neri explianed her whole adventure to become the Herion of Winds. (She was the next Wind Waker)
"Okay, let's see if I have this right." Ezlo said after Neri fell silent once more.
Neri shifted nervously underneth him. "Okay, so Ganondorf kinnapped you, to use you to pull out the Master Sword; You got it back but since he touched it, it was corrupted?"
"Yes," was the meek reply.
"And you mangaged to return to the world of above the waves by the skin of your teeth correct?" Vaati put in.
"Yes."
"And you had to gather the three Pearls of the Goddess to restore the sword to it's former self right?" Ezlo asked, the now trembling girl.
"Y-yes. That's it. After I re-purified the Master Sword, I went on and fought Ganon once more this time sealing him to the world below and not to the Sword."
Vaati and Ezlo were dumbstruck once again.
Vaati sighed exasperated. "My daughter, a heroin? What a sad fate that has been bestowed on me. To have my only daughter one who slays demons that she should be ruling."
"I like saving people." Neri protested.
"I wish your mother hadn't of taken you away." He murmured. "I did miss you after all of those years. I'm not a complete heartless bastard. You were the only thing that kept me from getting sealed again. I forced myself to not go and take Hyrule over when I easily could have."
Ezlo looked up at his old apprentince. "Is that true?"
"Does it look like I'm lying?" He tossed a glare to his old master.
"How should I know? You lied to me about wanting to see the cap."
"Guys, cut it out. Do you seriously mean that?" Neri cut their bickering off.
"Neri, if I didn't mean it then you wouldn't be here. I could have easily moved on."
She nodded in understandment. "I get the point. We've got some problems at the current moment, though. Ganonfag is in the palace and we're pretty much defenseless until I get the master sword."
"Oh well, here's a good question: where is it?" Ezlo asked.
"...When I sealed Ganonfag up, something told me not to leave the blade in his reach, if he should break out." Neri said.
"Okay..so? Come on girl! Spit it out! I think your problem might be getting a tad pissed!" Ezlo said, as they heard a loud crash coming from the east wing.
"I hid it on Outset. I'll have to go and get it and then come back." Neri said, as another crash sounded, closer this time.
"Damn, I hate that island." Vaati began to pant again.
"What's the matter?" Neri glanced at her father.
"He's trying to warp us after using up so much energy. You fool, Vaati, you'll kill yourself if you keep pushing yourself!" Ezlo shouted.
"If it means saving my daughter then I don't give a rat's ass." He huffed. "Ezlo, make sure she doesn't get HERSELF killed or I swear to Din that I will come back and personally haunt you."
"You are coming, correct?"
"You can't just sacrifice yourself!" Neri shrieked.
"I'm not sacrificing myself. Should I die from this, though, do as I have ordered." Beads of sweat appeared on his face. "Fucking magic." He passed out as they arrived on the beach of Outside Island.
