Chapter 9 Private Conversations

Grady and Malon entered the house. She was covered in Grady's hood and cape. It was at least six inches longer than she was because it was dragging the ground. Sitting in the front office was Talon. He saw Malon and immediately rounded on Grady. He tried not to lunge at Grady as he asked, "What did you do to my daughter?"

Malon grabbed her father and said, "He didn't do anything to me daddy. He saved me from being raped by a soldier."

Talon said then got up and said, "Take to where you left him. I'll kill him."

Grady then said, "Too late. But if you want to destroy the corpse, It's on the floor of your stable."

Talon then turned to Grady and for the first time took in his full countenance. Grady stood there wearing a pair of dark purple skin tight boots. His pants were stained and speckled red over the original beige color. They were also skin tight. His top was a was a dark red dragon skin shoulder less breastplate that fit his chest like a glove. A belt held his sword and sheath on his back. He was also wearing matching wristbands of dark red. His arms were covered in various scars and a few of them looked as though they were inflicted by magic. Talon then said to Malon, "Go to your room and change. I'm going to talk with Grady." Malon simply nodded and ran up stairs.

Talon then rounded on Grady. He said, "Have a seat." Grady did so. "Now. Who gave you those scars?" Grady remained silent. Talon then said, "Let me tell you boy. I have been suspicious about you ever since I saw you use Kami-Ryu. That sword style was used by only two other people. Do you know who they were." Grady nodded. "Good. Then who trained you?" Grady remained silent. He turned around and lifted his dragon skin breastplate. On his back there was a symbol. It looked like the Eye Of Truth being held by the Hand Of Power while both were surrounded by the Wings Of Courage, eight wings pointing like a compass. "So the king of the Shiekah is still teaching. Have ever met a man who goes under the name of the Shadow of Death?"

This time Grady answered. "I know of him." Of course he knew of him. The Shadow Of Death was his father.

Talon then said, "I can't blame you for not meeting him. I mean, after all he did, Leaving his wife and child in Kakariko where they died in a raid, It is no small wonder that he would avoid people. I take that back. He wouldn't want to answer to the son he presumed dead would he Link?"

Link let a smile appear on his lips. He then asked, "I always thought you were smarter than you would let on but now I know how good you really are. How long did it take for you to figure out?"

Talon then said, "The Shadow Of Death has that same mark. Only a special few know him as Rondo, King of the Shiekah, but, enough on that subject. Now I would like to talk about your involvement with my daughter." Link was very attentive now. "She would have wasted away waiting for you. Does she know who you really are?" He nodded. "Good. If you leave and break her heart again, I will personally kill you."

Link then said, "I've already made her a promise. I'm going to stop killing and drop my name as Grady. Then, I will make her my wife. But that will have to wait after the war is done." He looked at Talon. "Only my crew, you, and Malon know my true name. I ask that no one ever be told until I have returned as Link." Talon nodded.

Just then Malon came running down stairs in a deep blue night gown. She looked at her father and then at Link. She turned again to her father and began to say, "Daddy, I…"

Talon cut her off, "I've been told. As long as you are happy I don't care. But if you meet I want you to tell me. Do you have a way of sending messages to her?"

Link smiled. "It looks as though I'll have to endure the name Fairy boy again." Talon looked confused but Malon understood completely.

R&R. Because I want you to.
