Chapter 2-
The conference room was completely full. There was a lot of commotion and confusion by the people that were called in so urgently. Only the four that were in the throne room knew about what news was about to be told. All of the high ranking guards at the castle and through out Hyrule, the 6 sages, and the King's advisors were there. Other inhabitants of the castle were curious enough to easedrop in on this conference. The King sat down in his chair at the head of the long table signaling by holding up one his hands for the crowd to settle down. The room grew still as he started to speak.
"I'm afraid I have bad news for you all. Ganondorf has escaped, he is free."
Gasps echoed throughout the room as it became unsettled and uneasy. They were taking this worse then the four did earlier.
"Now I know you're all in shock, but we cannot panic here.."
Questions started popping up from every corner, "How did he escape?"
"Is he gonna attack Hyrule anytime soon?"
"Where is he now?"
"Has he gotten the Triforce yet?" Everyone there had their own question to yell out, it was all becoming chaotic.
The King stood up putting both hands in the air signaling for the questions to stop then spoke, "Please, stay calm! Let me explain. This morning the news from the messenger was that Ganondorf has had help from an old wizard named Aganhim. They are both now staying in the abandoned castle in Waneria. He is using the men around and there to build himself a decent army. They have no clue that he and the wizard are evil nor that they are all peices in his giant puzzle. Right now we are not important to him. Aexis is his major threat at the moment then when he's done with him we are guessing he will put his attention back on us, and the Triforce. At the moment Ganondorf does not know that we know of his whereabouts. Since we have the upper hand at the moment we need a plan, and quickly."
The captain of the guards at the castle stood up and pounded his fist on the table, "I say we gather our troops and attack Ganondorf right now!"
Link joined in, "Now that would be one of the most stupid things to do! We don't know how big, how good, or how long Ganondorf's army has been training. He may be expecting us even, we don't know! We would be throwing our only chance of winning away with such a plan!"
A strange voice came from the darkest corner, "Thats exactly right." Heads rapidly turned to see a figure leaning back, slouched in a chair. His feet, the only part of him visible, were crossed over eachother kicked up on the table. He stood up coming into the light and plain view. He was a shadowy man, fitting perfectly well in the dark with dark hair, dark clothes, grey eyes and pale skin. You could tell that no one in the room knew this dark stranger for each person gave him a different look, some of curiousity, some of fright, and some of suspission. "That is why you need to figure out the exact details of what Ganondorf is planning. You can't just go on guesses. To do that you would need spies, and I'm exactly the man you need."
"You sure think pretty high of yourself there sir. I don't think anyone here has ever heard of you before." Zelda said giving him a pretty serious and stern look. She didn't like him and she showed it well. He was too must of a mystery man for anyone to trust.
"I assure you I have good reasons for acting this way Princess. For I am one of the best spies in this pitiful world of ours. I am Garrison. I suppose none of you knew I snuck in here did they?" He bragged with a smirk.
Everyone in the room looked at eachother shaking their heads and shrugging their shoulders. Mia spoke up then, "So you may have proven to us you're good at sneaking into here. How do we know you can get the information we need and if we can trust you?"
The stranger Garrison chuckled, "How do you know you could ever trust any spy? Besides you all seem like you need the help. I heard what the King explained, I assure you I will find out what Ganondorf's plans are. I am willing to help you. If I was you I would take advantage of this offer."
"Your tone makes it sound like you are our only hope in this matter. There are other spies out there, we have some of our own that are very good, they have spied on Ganondorf before. What makes you so special?" Zelda said still giving him that same cold look.
Garrison was silent for a moment before saying, "Have you ever, Princess, had this feeling where you think you see something, then look twice and its gone?"
Zelda glanced over at Mia wondering what he was getting at by asking that, but Mia just shrugged her shoulders. When Zelda looked back at Garrison's chair he had disappeared! With an uneasy feeling she shifted her eyes to see behind her and gasped whipping around coming face to face with the man she was just looking for. Garrison tilted his head, "Hmm? Are you going to answer my question?"
Looks of shock came from everyone. "How did he do that?" Someone whispered to a neighbor.
"W.. Well." Zelda stuttered, "Yes."
"Hmph. I thought so." Garrison continued, "Now, are iyour/ispies able to do that?"
"No one could pull something like that off unless they knew magic anyways!" Mia blurted out.
"I do not know any magic of the sorts." Garrison muttered.
"Pfft! You could easily be lieing about that!" Mia yelled getting pretty ticked.
Garrison kept his same tone, "You can even test me. I swear to you that I do not know any kind of magic." He then turned back to the King as seeing he had shut Mia up, "You obviously need some help on this matter. Like I said before, I am willing to help you. I swear to you on my own life that I will be of honest service to you." He then finished by bowing gracefully to the King.
"Well I already have my answer, but please wait a few moments while I ask what my advisors say." The King said before being surround by his advisors.
Some people started muttering to their neighbors, the advisors whispering loudly to the King while Garrison waited of to the side patiently for an answer. The King stood up after a few moments and gave his answer, "Well I say we do need your help. Can we have you stay behind in this room with Link and I. Then we can think of a plan for you?"
"Yes I will."
"Alright then," The King said with a smile, "Link, stay here. The rest of you must leave. Zelda, Mia you too."
Zelda ran up to her dad, "DAD! We can really help you think of a plan! I mean Mia has worked as a spy before!"
"Yeah why can't Zelda and I stay!?"
"Now you both know I don't want you two to get involved with this! You don't deserve to get dragged into this!" The King said growing angry.
Zelda then fought back by saying, "Well, we were both dragged into that other incident with Ganondorf!"
"No! And that is final, Zelda!" The King yelled walking away.
"But Daaaaaadd!" Zelda continued whining.
The King didn't say anything, he just turned around giving his daughter a stern look while she returned one back. Mia put her hands on Zelda's shoulders and said, "Come on Zel, lets go before he gets the guards to toss us out." before grabbing her and literally dragging her out of the room.
