I was back at school. There was a lot of homework for me not to do. It was just like any other day, before I found the Master Sword of course, I acted like I was working while I was actually reading a book under my desk. on the way to sixth period I saw Zelda. "Zelda!" I shouted. "Great" I thought " I'm turning into her". She turned around and smiled.

"Hello Link"

"Hey." I saw a mark similar to mine on her hand.

"Are you free Friday night?" I had no idea what I was saying, the word just came out of my mouth without permission.

"Yeah!"

"I guess we could see a movie or something." She hugged me and ran off.

I knew I couldn't tell Dwight even if he is Eagus. I sighed. "What was that?" I thought to myself "It doesn't matter, she would have found a way to get me to do that anyway". The rest of the day was fine I guess.

I was ready for training that night. As soon as I walked in Eagus said, "Bow or Sword" I jumped. He was just sitting in a chair right next to the door.

"Are you mad or something?"

"You're late"

"There was a lot of traffic"

"No excuse"

"Maybe not in your time but we have cars now."

"I will never understand but I suppose Dwight will explain it to me later. You still haven't answered my question."

"Bow?"

"Incorrect"

"But you gave me a choice!"

"Choose again."

"Sword?"

"Incorrect"

"Those were my only options!"

"The correct answer was: I will do as you wish master."

"I am not saying that"

He smiled. "I didn't expect you to. All your ancestors were stubborn."

I wasn't sure what to say.

"Let's go, we'll start with your bow."

I fired six arrows. 5 missed and the other one almost shot Eagus is the head. I shot him a smile. He frowned. I did just like him for stood there for a few minutes frowning at each other and then burst into laughter like Frodo and Gandalf in the first scene of The Fellowship of the Ring (Yes, I know, I'm a nerd). "I think I'll stand over here" Eagus said. I fired another arrow. I threw my hands in the air, I had actually hit the target! I was nowhere near the bull's-eye. Eagus still didn't smile. "Do it again and I may applaud" I fired another arrow. Closer. Another arrow. Much closer. One arrow left. I took a breath and raised my bow. I let the last arrow fly. Dead Center! I collected my arrows and saw Eagus smiling.

"Nice work. That's probably enough for tonight."

"We didn't train with my sword!"

"You really want to train with your sword?"

"Yes"

"Then say: I will do as you wish master"

"No."

"Say it or we don't train" I know Dwight, he was just playing a game. I decided I would play too, and I was gonna win.

I drew my sword and jumped at him. He drew his sword which he kept at his belt and blocked my strike. "First strike doesn't always win" He lunged at me and I barely dodged. "It does however give an advantage" I said as I did a horizontal slice. "Focus on your footwork!" I parried his blow. He stuck his left foot and wrapped it around my right foot so all he had to do was pull and I fell to the ground. "Give up?" He said. "Never!" I jumped back to my feet and delivered another blow. "The best defense is a good offense" He said. "Really? I always thought the best defense was a shield!" I grabbed his collar and hit him in the chest with my shield. He fell over. I sheathed my sword held my hand out to help him up. He looked at it, grabbed it and pulled me to the ground. "We'll call this one a tie." We laughed and stared at the stars for the rest of the night.
