"This... this can't be right." Spencer rubbed his eyes and looked again. The White-Gold tower still stood high in the distance.
"What?" Link asked. "Do you know where we are?"
"We aren't anywhere near Hyrule, I can tell you that." Spencer said.
"Then where are we?" Midna asked.
"Follow me." Spencer said. He began jogging in the direction of the Tower, always keeping his eye on it. He learned that wasn't a good idea once he ran into a tree.
"Are you going to be running into trees or telling us where we are?" Midna asked.
They continued jogging in the direction of the tower, this time Spencer was looking where he was going. The trees became less dense, and finally they ran out the last of the woods.
"Well... welcome to Cyrodiil." Spencer said with a sigh.
Straight ahead of them was cobblestone road that split into 2 other paths, one of the roads leading to a small group of wooden buildings, beyond them was a giant white stone bridge, leading to a massive circular city made of the same white stone. Many People were walking in and out of the city by using the only bridge. Spencer, Link, Midna, and Andima began walking towards it as they asked Spencer for information.
"How did you know where we were?" Link asked.
"Remember what I told you about those "Video Games" they have where I come from? Fifteen years ago?" Spencer asked.
"Yeah." Link said.
"Well, this was one of them. I have no Idea how Ganon could possibly know about this place. It was completely unrelated to the Triforce, Hyrule, or anything like that." Spencer said.
"Who knows what you see or do when you die. Maybe he had been here before. Who knows, I've never seen any like him, he might not be of the world of Hyrule at all." Andima said.
"That conflicts with a different game. Have I told you that there was actually a game of the Hero of time?" Spencer said.
"You mean the first guy to wear this thing?" Link asked, looking at his tunic.
"Yeah, It's an interesting story, really. Ought to tell you once we get back to Hyrule." Spencer said.
"What is this place called, anyway?" Link asked.
"This is the Imperial city. Think Castle Town, just a lot bigger." Spencer said. They crossed the giant stone bridge, and entered the city through giant wooden doors with a Dragon depicted on them.
"Stop, citizen! You're under arrest!" They were almost immediately stopped by a guard. The guard wore heavy looking bronze plate armor.
"What are the charges?" Spencer asked.
"Not you. Him." The guard pointed at Link.
"What? But I just got here!" Link protested.
"You can't fool me, Marcus! You're the only one around with blond hair and a green tunic! Pretty tricky, putting on those fake elf ears!" The guard said. He drew his steel longsword.
"Wait just a moment, buddy." Link said as he drew the Master Sword.
"Aha! You even brought along you signature weapon! There is no denying it, Marcus! I arrest you under charges of Serial Murder, theivery, and working under the Dark Brotherhood!" The guard said.
"Wait a second." Spencer said, "Blond hair, Green Tunic, Master sword, Marcus... Uh oh."
"What is it?" Midna asked.
"We need to get out of here. Quickly." Spencer said. After he said that they heard an outburst of Insane Laughter.
"Too late." Spencer said. Everybody (Including the guard) turned to see a maniac chasing a beggar down the street towards them. The manic looked almost exactly like Link, but with no hat. He held in his hand s Sword that looked very similar to the Master sword, with a blue hilt and yellow crystal.
The maniac caught up with the old beggar, and cut him down. He bent down and put his hands in the beggars pockets.
"What is he doing?!" Andima asked. Spencer had a horrified look on his face.
"He's checking for anything of value. He's looting him." He said.
"MARCUS LANDUS! THIS TIME YOU WILL NOT ESCAPE THE LAW!" The guard ran towards the maniac addressed as Marcus Landus, who pulled out a box made a of silver and shot him down with a arrow lit on fire.
"Landus? Is he a relative, Spencer?" Andima asked.
"Almost." Spencer said, "Tell me, do you have any spell that would be able to take away that Bow and sword from him?"
"Do you want me to take them?" Andima asked.
"Yeah, just so he doesn't kill us." Spencer said. Andima held out both hands, which glowed dark purple. Marcus' weapons then exploded into black squares.
"How do you know him?" Midna asked.
"I created him." Spencer said. He walked over to Marcus, who was searching himself for his lost weapons.
"Hey." Spencer said. Marcus looked up, only to be hit upside the head by Spencer. He fell to the ground unconscious. Spencer bent down and took the money he had. He figured the ass wouldn't need it, and he did. A guard walked up to him.
"How did you-"
"Just take him off to jail. He deserves it." Spencer said. The guard blinked a few times, then shrugged and dragged Marcus by the foot, towards the Imperial Jail. Link, Midna, and Andima walked over to him.
"You think that was necessary?" Andima asked.
"You probably don't want to know his kill count." Spencer said. "I say we find an Inn while we try to figure something out."
"How long do you think we are going to be here?" Andima asked.
"I'm not sure if we can even get back. I'm hoping that the Mage's University will have something on it. Right now we can get a room-" He looked at Midna, "Or two while we try to get things straightened out." Spencer said.
They walked down the left street, and came upon a building that like all the others, was made out of white stone. Above the front door was a sign saying "The Merchant's Inn"
"Hey, we're not merchants, but they'll probably let us in anyway." Spencer said.
Inside, they walked up to the counter and talked to the Inn keeper.
"I'd like to rent two rooms." Spencer said.
"20 septims." The Inn keeper said.
"Spencer looked at the huge sack of gold coins he had taken from Marcus. He set it on the counter and took out 20 golden coins known as Septims.
"And a good 20th day of the second seed to you too, sir." The man said. That made Spencer remember something. He turned to the others.
"The rooms are paid for, I just need to go get something first." He said, then he left the Inn. Andima looked at Link.
"Don't ask me." Link said. They walked up into their rooms.
--
Andima was lying on the bed in her and Spencer's room, wondering where Spencer had gone. "Apparently something that the Inn Keeper had said made him need to go somewhere, and he hadn't returned yet." She thought. Her thoughts were contradicted by the door opening and Spencer walking in.
"Where have you been?" She asked. She floated up and off the bed.
"Well," Spencer said, "Today is this world's May the 20th."
"And?" Andima asked.
Spencer pulled a gold necklace with a ruby in the middle. "Mother's day." He said.
"Buying me a necklace with a maniac's Money. How sweet." She kissed him, hugging him at the same time. Hugging her too, Spencer walked over and sat on the bed. Once the kiss ended, Andima continued to sit in Spencer's lap.
"I'm nervous about what's happening in Hyrule right now." Andima said. "I worry about Darin."
"Once we get back there we can get rid of Ganon once and for all. He doesn't even know about Ordon, let alone Darin." Spencer said.
"I know, I just hope we get there before he does." Andima said. She lay down on the bed, taking off her helmet. Spencer took off his sword and shield and put them beside the bed, then lay down beside her.
"Tomorrow we will visit the Mage's University and see if they know anything about teleportation spells. For now, let's get some rest." Spencer said.
The next few moments went on silently, as if Spencer was listening for something.
"No wild bed creaking coming from the next room tonight." Spencer said.
"Haha, only 'cause they can't." The couple laughed together.
