The Lone Wolf
Chapter 10: His Last Hope.
Zelda was on her way to see the Deku tree sprout, traveling via teleportation, when she
sensed another power.
"Wait, that's two powers, and they're familiar… Ruto and Nabooru…" Zelda thought,
ceased her teleportation, and ended up in the middle of Hyrule field.
Ruto and Nabooru were still a pair of balls of light, sipping across the sky like comets,
coming from their respective Temples, when Zelda sent them a psychic message.
"Hey, you two, where are you guys going at this time of night?" She sent to them.
"To see Saria, Link has been gone for a very long time, and we decided to see if Saria
had any idea where he is, she had a connection with him you know." Came Ruto's
thought.
Nabooru's thought came soon after. "Yeah, she can tell where Link is, how he's doing,
and other thing's like that, when ever she wants to!"
"Ok then, I was going to see the Deku tree sprout about something, but I'm as anxious
to find out as well. I can spare a minute or two. I think." Zelda replied.
Zelda turned into a bright yellow light orb and sped off through the night air, just in
front of the other two sages.
* * * *
As they landed in Kokiri village, the three sages found it was dead silent. Nabooru spin
jumped silently onto one roof of a tree stump house (I honestly want to see what those
tree's looked like when they were alive) and peered in.
Nabooru smiled and leapt back to the other two.
"All the kid's are asleep. None of them saw us land." She said quietly.
Ruto sighed. "Good, the last time they saw a sage appear, they freaked out completely."
Zelda shook her head and headed to Saria's house.
As she had said earlier, the young Sage was sound asleep on her little bunk bed.
"Aw, isn't she cute?" Ruto commented.
"Well, I'm afraid that this little dreamer will have to smell the coffee a little early today.
I want to know where Link is, and now!" Nabooru said, and shook Saria by the shoulder.
Saria sputtered a bit as she awoke from the sudden assault. "Hey! What's going on?"
She said rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "Nabooru? What are you doing here?"
"The same reason Ruto and the princess are here, we want to know where Link is, and
now!" she said.
Saria looked over at Zelda. "Oh, Zelda, I thought I already answered your question."
Zelda shook her head. "That was about the white Wolfos, I just thought that since these
two are here to get that info, I might as well hear it as well." She said.
Saria looked at them all helplessly. "Sorry guys, I don't know where Link is right
now." She said.
"What!?" all three other sages exclaimed.
Saria shook her head. "Well guys, I can tell that link's still alive, but ever since a few
months ago, my sixth sense about Link has been a bit fuzzy."
Ruto shoved Nabooru out of the way. "What do you mean, 'Fuzzy'? Link's gone
missing for more than a season and you say that you cant find him cause your sense is
Fuzzy?" She ended up screaming at the little Kokiri girl.
Saria looked helplessly at Zelda. "I mean it, I know that Link's alive, I just don't know
where he is exactly, or what he's doing. Something's interfering with it, and I honestly
don't know what it is!" She told them.
Zelda sighed. "Well that settles it." The three elemental sages looked over at Zelda. "I
guess we all have to go see the Deku tree sprout."
* * * *
At about the time Zelda had picked up Ruto and Nabooru, Link was roaming the woods
behind the castle, disheartened by the fact that the ocarina had been stolen.
Link suddenly heard some creatures talking. And the smell of a wood fire caught at his
nostrils.
"Man, we have been hunted like crazy ever since Ganon was defeated." One voice said.
"What do you expect Gard? Were monsters, cooked up by Dark magic, and turned into
Ganon's minions by his magic, we killed like crazy and now they want us all dead!" said
another voice.
"What do you know green scale? You're just a Lizalfos, not even a full Dinalfos
soldier, like me!"
"My name is not 'Green scale!' It's Degar!"
"Huh, could have fooled me." A third voice said.
"YOU SHUT UP YOU STUPID PILE Of BONES! YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A
NAME!" Degar yelled angrily.
"Well at least I have a physical body, not like some undead minions I could name."
Link chose that moment to lope out of the woods. The owners of the voices he'd heard
were sitting round a fire, with a roasting spit over it. There was a Lizalfos, a Dinalfos, a
Stalfos, and a Poe that Link hadn't heard speak.
"Ah, one of our lupine brothers, come to visit us eh? What's your name friend?"
"Uh…" Link thought frantically. "My name is… White fang."
The other monsters looked at each other, and nodded. "Welcome, White fang, what can
we help you with? Do you want some food, only two of us are eating." The Dinalfos
offered, a lot more friendly than Link had expected.
"Phew, I was almost sure they wouldn't have bought that one!" Link thought to himself
relieved.
"No thanks, I need to find somebody."
"Really? Who?"
"Well, do you guy's know if there are any Wizzrobes left in Hyrule?" He asked the
group.
All the other monsters looked thoughtful for a minute. "Yes, there is one guy still here
in Hyrule, a guy named Chalder. Annoying little guy, you want to talk to him or
something?"
"Something like that." Link answered.
Gard shrugged, and ripped off a good sized chunk of meat from the carcass, and tossed
it to Link.
Eat that on your way if you'r hungry, it's gotten harder and harder lately to get any
food, I know, but I don't want you to end up like bone but here." He said jesturing to the
Stalfos.
"Who, me?" the skeleton asked.
Link laughed under his breath. "Thanks, well, see ya." He said, and went off, chewing
on a mouthful of the roasted meat.
It was mutton, sheep's flesh.
* * * *
Meanwhile, Zelda, Ruto, Saria and Nabooru had just gotten to the Deku sprout's field.
The dead Great Deku Tree stood black against the night sky, and the magical beam of
seemingly eternal light shone from the hole in the dead tree's remaining foliage.
The four sages approached the Sprout slowly.
"Oh, hello all of you. What do you want to know this fine day?" the little thing asked
cheerfully.
"Well, two things, we want to know where Link is…" Nabooru said.
"And I want to know what is going on with the White Wolfos that attacked me in the
Village yesterday!" Zelda exclaimed.
The Deku tree sprout's telepathic voice started laughing in their minds.
"That's such a coincidence, you both answered each other's question right there!" It said
merrily.
"What?" Everybody asked in unison.
"Oh, it's quite simple. The answer to both of your questions is that Zelda here blasted
Link yesterday in Kakariko!"
After a moment, a look of shock came across all the present sages faces, and Zelda
collapsed on the ground.
* * * *
It was about an hour after Link had encountered the group of friendly monsters that he
came across a Wizzrobe sleeping in a hammock with a campfire burning nearby.
The area still had a lot of snow on the ground, so Link crouched, immersing himself in a
white mass of snow near the Wizzrobes hammock, and made-him self seem a little
smaller, like the size of a normal white Wolfos.
The Wizzrobe was snoring loudly, and Link wondered how he slept while he was
making such a racket.
Link cleared his throat and attempted to make a normal bark, not a Hylian word
translated into a Canine sound.
He succeeded. The Wizzrobe jumped out of his hammock, and landed with a pair of
glowing magic energy balls in his hands.
"What-! Who's there?" he said panicked, looking around when his glance landed on
Link in the snow pile.
"Huh? Oh, a Wolfos, you could have simply nudged me instead of barking, or said
something!" He said in annoyance.
"Well, you were snoring so loudly that I couldn't wake you with words." Link said,
trying to act convincing.
The Wizzrobe shook his head, and walked over to Link. He crouched before Link,
putting his blank face in front of Link's muzzle
"Well, what do you want anyway?" he asked.
Link's clawed hand shot up to the Wizzrobes cloak clasp and the collar behind it. He
rose quickly, picking the Wizzrobe up off the ground.
"Do you remember me Wizzrobe?" Link said, his teeth bared and a heavy growl under
his words.
The Wizzrobe's eyes went white (showing extreme panic in this case). "Uh, have we
met before? I can't quite place the… muzzle…" he said, his voice dying by the end of
the sentence.
"I looked different when we met Wizzrobe. Does the name Link ring any bells?" Link
said.
"Uh, yeah, he defeated lord Ganon, but I…" The Wizzrobes eyes went wider, and
brightened till they looked like a pair of searchlights.
Suddenly, there was the sound of something spilling on the ground. Link stretched out
his arm and stepped back at the same time.
"I guess that's where you things got the name, 'Whiz' robes' eh?" Link said.
The Wizzrobe pointed one finger at Link in astonishment.
"I thought that curse was a dud!" The Wizzrobe yelled.
"Oh, it worked Wizzrobe, it worked all to well. Now, I want you to find a way to undo
this curse right now, or I will kill you. Got that?" Link said, growling in the Wizzrobes
face.
"Ok, ok, I got it!" the Wizzrobe said frantically.
"And one other thing…" Link said.
"What?"
"Your name is Chalder, right?" Link asked.
"YES!" Chalder screamed.
Link dropped Chalder on the ground.
"If you don't get back here fast, I am going to track you down and kill you Chalder, and
no teleportation trick is going to save you!" Link said.
Chalder scrambled to his feet and flew off to the northwest.
* * * *
Fifteen minutes later, Chalder landed at the door to the Witches hut and began to pound
on the door.
"FOR THE LOVE OF MERCY OPEN THE DOOR!" he screamed as he beat on the
door with his fists.
The door to the hut opened and the witch looked out. "What are you screaming about?
It's enough to wake the dead, without any kind of resurrect spell!" she yelled.
Chalder dashed into the witches hut. "I have a werewolf chasing after me and I need a
counter-spell desperately!" He yelled.
The witch looked at him with a stunned look on her face. "Was this the same person
that you used the staff on?" she asked.
"YES!" Chalder yelled.
The witch grinned crazily, and then she started cackling.
"What is so funny?" Chalder yelled.
"There is no counter spell for that one Wizzrobe!" she cackled.
"WHAT!?" he yelled.
The witch wouldn't stop laughing. "And now you have an unstoppable wolf man out
for your blood! HE, HE, HE!!! This is too rich!"
Chalder was fuming, even though Link was going to kill him, he was fuming mad at the
witch's laughter, he'd always hated it when he'd been laughed at by the other beasts in
Ganon's army.
"Stop, laughing…" he said. The witch didn't stop.
"I said, stop laughing!" he exclaimed, and the witch still laughed.
"STOP LAUGHING!" Chalder screamed, and fired a magic wave at the witch.
The witch was hit, and fell over, smoke rising from the scorch mark even before she hit
the floor.
Chalder stood there, staring at the form of the now dead witch for about a minute before
he bolted.
* * * *
In about ten minutes, Chalder was back in the abandoned spell library, recasting the
communication spell. Before long, Ganon's face appeared in the orb of black energy.
"Chalder, it's been a long time, have you cast the spell on Link yet?" he asked.
"Well, yes sir I did…" Chalder said
Ganon nodded. "Well, did the curse have the desired effect?" He asked.
"Well, you see sir, it's like this…" and with that, Chalder launched into a description of
what had happened, from his point of view.
By the end of it, Ganon's expression was one of surprise.
"So you see sir, I have a big problem, what am I supposed to do?"
Ganon's stunned expression turned into a tiny smile, then a bigger one, he chuckled,
then he suddenly burst out laughing.
Chalder was dumbfounded, and was silent for several minutes.
"Why are you laughing?" he said when Ganon's raucous laughter died down to fits of
chuckling.
"Oh… *snicker* Sorry about that Chalder, I wasn't laughing at you, I was laughing at…
HA, HA, HA!!! At what has happened to Link…"
"What?" Chalder said confused.
"Heh, heh, heh… well, as a wolf man, *heh heh* Link's cut off from all his friends, the
sages, even the general people of Hyrule… *snicker* I wanted him to be as lonely as I
am… AND MAN DID I GET IT!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Ganon started
laughing again.
Chalder was confused. "But master, what about me?"
Ganon ignored Chalder completely. "I was going to have to sit in here till I broke out,
enraged at Link, but now that I know that he's sharing my fate, I feel so good! HA, HA,
HA, HA!!!"
Chalder fumed. But since he couldn't do anything to Ganon directly, even if he wasn't
in the evil realm, so he just dispelled the communication window, and flew off, a plan of
escape already in his mind, the first time he'd really had a good idea in his life.
* * * *
Chalder was stopped by Link halfway back to his campsite; Link grabbed Chalder out of
midair (as Chalder was flying only a few feet over the ground).
"Well? Did you get a spell to undo this Wizzrobe?" he said through clenched, bared
teeth.
"Well, I did find one, but I can't transport it…" he said.
"Why not?" Link asked.
"Well, it's with an old witch who lives to the north of here, if you run fast, you should
be there in a matter of minutes!" he said.
Link, who was so bent on getting the spell, let Chalder go and dashed off in that
direction.
Chalder took off again the second that Link was out of sight, flying at high altitude
toward the southeast, at high speed.
"I should have left with the others when I had the chance, but no…" Chalder said to
himself as he sped off.
* * * *
Link arrived at the witches hut, and saw the door swinging open. The smell of smoke
came from inside the hut, but mixed with the cauldron smoke was the smell of burnt
flesh.
"No…" Link said aghast as he dashed into the hut. Inside he found the fire under the
cauldron still blazing, the contents bubbling, and a black-cloaked form was lying slumped
on the ground.
Link rolled the body over on it's side, and started back in shock.
The face of the old hag was twisted in a sneer, one of mirth, but a sneer. It was almost
like she was mocking him.
"No… no, I was so close…" Link said in a whisper.
Link dashed out of the witches hut blindly, and kept on going till he reached a small
clearing.
There, Link fell on his knees, threw his head back, and let out a long, anguished howl.
