Chapter IX

Vaati

"Farore damn it!" I shouted. With a great effort, I controlled my temper just enough to stop a storm from brewing. "You stupid bunch of incompetents! You let them get away! You were surrounding them! Damn it, I can't believe this! What the hell is your problem? When she deflected my spell, you should have grabbed them! Why are you so stupid? Din, Nayru, and Farore, you are probably the worst assistants I've ever had!"

"Boss?"

"What the hell do you need that's worth interrupting me for?" I bellowed at the Skull Kid.

"The princess forgot the hero's sword," he replied, not even reacting to my shouting.

"Best news I've heard all damn day," I muttered. "So? Is that all, or was there some point to that?"

"The point is that without his sword, the hero can't fight."

"He'll get another!"

"Yes, but he won't have time if we attack now."

"Yeah, good point. But we're not ready to attack."

"Perhaps it's time to proceed with the next step, then."

"You're right. Get the clone ready."

"Okay."

I left the room, leaving the Skull Kid with the rest of my monsters.
