AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

A village man stood quivering in front of the ships captain as he yelled.
"You dare board our ship, worm? I will not discuss terms with a peasant; I will issue demands to all! Citizens! Soldiers! Hear my words! The Conqueror himself, Emperor Onox, claims dominion over these lands! You will grant your new emperor your ships! You will grant him all your provender! You will grant him your loyalty and your every possession! And you will surrender this land's greatest treasure, the Triforce! Do this, and your lives will be spared. Resist, and your lives are forfeit! Now, kneel! And swear fealty to the mighty Holodrum Empire!"
"B-but it you take all that we have, how are we to make our living? Without food and ships, people will starve! Would you have us all die? "

The captian turned to the villager with an evil glare. "...You'll do for now." He plunged a dagger in the poor mans throat, letting him uncermoniously fall to the ground.

Zelda watched with anger on the hillside. "These savages will never listen to reason. Everyone: prepare to engage!" She commanded.

Impa seems hesitant at her side. "Milady, are you certain? Another war..."
"I've had time to ponder Hyrule's place in the world, Impa. ...And my own. We must stand against evil, in all its forms, or there can be no peace!"

Ciela flew up behind them. "Might I join, Ma'am? This may not be my country, but it is my cause."
Zelda nodded and welcomed the fairy to join them.

Impa was the first to reach the leader, who was the very same man that killed the villager on the attacking ship.

"You are nothing! A speck of sand on the boot of the great empire!" The man challenged.
Impa moved before the man could even think to raise his own weapon, ramming the head of her lance through the man. "Farewell."
The mans quickly dimming eyes stared at her in wonder. "What... H-how... Ahh... "

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Link rejoined the group, wiping the sweat from his brow. "Zelda, is that all of them?"
"Yes," Zelda nodded, "But victory's come with a price... "

"The town is in shambles, as is my army." Darmani growled.
Impa shook her head. "This is most troubling news. Goron soldiers are the strongest east of the long sea. If they are having trouble, we are ALL in trouble."

Darunia's face was grim. "That's not the half of it. This was just the vanguard—but a taste of the meal yet to come."
Darmani's face was just as grim. "And once it arrives, their host will wash over the whole continent in weeks. There's no way we could repel them and defend our people. It would be a slaughter."

Zelda sighed. "Hyrule proper is no better equipped to handle an attack from the sea... Link, what do you suggest?"
Link tapped his chin thoughtfully. "Hmm... Their greatest strength is their cavalry, which puts us at a disadvantage...on land. But if we were to catch them at SEA..."
"But how? Hyrule has no warships, nor do the Gorons."

Darmani, too, tapped at his own chin. "So we'd need aid from a kingdom that does... "
Darunia looked to him. "You have someplace in mind, oaf?"
"Perhaps a land that borders the sea, with enough wealth to afford this campaign?"

"Lorule!" Link exclaimed.
Zelda shook her head furiously. "No. Absolutely not. Out of the question."
"They have gold, Girl! Countless ships! And more importantly, we have a fart's chance in the wind without them."
"The oaf is right." Darunia agreed. "...Crude, but right. There's only one path forward."

Link turned to her. "Zelda, with you reconsider?"
"... ...Very well. Send a messenger and request a summit immediately. Let us pray this new king is more reasonable than their last."
"Indeed."

"You know, Link... For your first time against Holodruman forces, that was an impressive victory." Darunia praised. "You and Zelda have both grown quite adept. You should be proud."

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Back in the palace Impa approached the throne. "Milady, we have word from Lorule. They have agreed to meet with us at their outpost on Headstone Isle. A poor venue should things go sour, as the island's name makes plain. But then I don't see we have much of a choice."
"Cautious as ever, Impa the Wary. Don't worry. We'll get our ships. This threat hands over all of us—Lorule as well. They must see that."
