Chapter 5
"Hello young Link. I'm glad to see that you've made it as far as you have. As for the Kisani Trail, just walk through the village in which you met me. Once you are on the other side, you will see a small but colorful building. Next to this building is a gate. This is the beginning of the Kisani Trail. This all that I can tell you for now. Good luck."
As soon as he was done, I sped off toward the village he told me of. I tried to keep my focus on the mission, but it had been a while since I'd eaten. As I walked I couldn't help but notice the wonderful scent of a barbecue. My mouth watered at the thought of biting into that juicy meat. It couldn't hurt to stop just for a little bit. I followed the smell to a small bar&grill. When I walked in the place was full of large, rough people. If you could call these people.
I felt a bit out of place. After all I was just a young child. But my hunger didn't let me shy away. I had to get a bit to eat. I walked up to the counter.
"Could you spare a bit of food for me. I been traveling for some time. I have no money."
The man face stared hard at me. Did he know me?
"I can trade you food if you'll do something for me. I'm in need of someone to clean out our basement."
Why shouldn't I. It would get me food.
"Well?"
"OK, but could I have the food first?"
"Sure."
I told him what I wanted and sat down. As I waited, I stared at all of the unfamiliar faces around me. They all were worn and tired. It was weird how every face looked similar. I guess that's how people around here looked. I hoped that the cleaning project wouldn't take to long.
The food came and I ate heartily. It was the best meal that I had had in a long time. After I was done I went up to the counter.
"I'm ready to clean your basement now."
"That's great. Let me lead you to it."
"Ooo kaaay," I said suspiciously.
Who was going to watch the restaurant. Apparently he didn't care. He guided me through a door and down a long flight of stares. As we walked I noticed that the walls were covered with a moss like when you enter a cave. As we went further down the air began to get heavy. I began to wonder if this was a good idea. My guide was walking straight ahead without making any sort of conversation. I had never known a basement to be this far underground. When I got to the bottom, I noticed how dark and gloomy it was down there.
"How am I supposed to see when I clean."
"I never said you would see anything. I am sent by Lord Ganon. When I saw your face, I knew that you had to be the one he had told me of. Now you have no hope of saving the princess. And don't even try to escape. I can asure you that there is no way out but through this door."
Immediately he slammed the door and I heard him lock it. Now what would I do. It seemed hopeless. My dreams were being shattered.
I couldn't give up yet. There had to be some way out. And if there was I would find it. I hadn't come this far just to be stopped by some obstacle that was put in my path. Link The Hero wouldn't be stopped that easily. And I still had my communication device. If worst came to worst, I could use it. The only thing I knew was this. As long as I lived, I would try my hardest to save the princess.
