The Legend of Zelda : Song of the Twilight
Chapter Eleven
Link's gut instinct told him to go for it. To run head first into danger. To risk his life trying to see Midna again. Link opened his eyes and reached back for the Master Sword. He looked the guard right in the eye, his breathing slowing down. "Kill me then," a slight smirk crept onto Link's face but the guard didn't notice. He brought the spear closer to Link's throat. Link gulped. He had one shot at this. When the spear head was just millimeters from Link's throat, he moved his head to the side, ducked and ran under the guard's arm. The guard turned around in shock. He stared at Link, his breathing heavy, his face red. Link drew the sword and stood prepared and alert for any sudden attacks. The guard approached Link. Link quickly started jumping around the guard, aiming for his back. The guard stood in confusion, realizing what Link was doing just as the Master Sword was plunged into his back. He let out an agonizing scream as the red liquid spilled out of the deep wound in his back. Link pulled out the Master Sword, letting more blood spill out. Link looked at the guard, who was now lying on the floor. Motionless. Dead.
"If you had just let me pass..." Link shook his head, sadly, not wanting to accept the fact that he had taken a guard's life for such a pathetic reason. "You would still be alive right now,"
Link began to think. Was seeing Midna again really worth all the bloodshed and violence that he'd have to face? Ever since Midna left, he had been a sad, lonely and in someways, crazy person. Maybe he could try to push her out of his mind. Out of his life. Pretend that the whole adventure they had was a figment of his imagination. That was impossible of course, because however hard the Hero of Twilight tried, he simply couldn't.
He looked at the locked gate. Now that he had killed the guard, he could probably disguise himself as the guard. Link's face lit up at the idea. The guard obviously had all the necessary equipment for getting in the castle, such as keys. Link pondered over this for a while and came to the conclusion that it was a good idea. An idea only a genius could think of. He walked over to the guard's dead body. He was unsure of how to undress a dead body, but in the end he managed to.
Even thought Link had walked in armor, iron boots and carried a ball and chain before, none of those items could amount to the weight of the guard's armor. Link trudged towards the gates, trying to drag the armor on him along. He unlocked the gate. It opened, revealing an easy path to the castle. Link walked along the path, trying hard not to show his struggle while walking with the armor on.
