CHAPTER III

A figure stood in the doorway, his sword drawn and ready to stab anyone, if it meant it would save the Princess.

"And who might you be?" Ganon asked.

"Dellum. I am here to avange the death of Link, the greatest hero ever. Come and fight me, that is, if you aren't scared." Ganon drew a sword from a scabbard on his back.

"Bring it on." Dellum charged, but Ganon punched him and sent him flying. BAM! Dellum hit the wall. He got up and jumped to reach the height of Ganon's head. He slashed his sword at it.

"Argghhh!!" Blood trikled out from his green skin. He struck his sword at Dellum. He put up his shield to defend Ganon's attack. Dellum pulled out a bow and arrow and shot a light arrow at Ganon's chest. "Ahhhhh!" It hit him. Ganon stumbled. He was injured, but not dead. He ran out the door. "Men, get him!" Ganon's army charged through the door and attacked the warrior.

Dellum opened his eyes to see the beautiful Princess standing above him. He sat up in the bed he was in and looked around. "Where am I?"

"The Hyrule Hospital. I wanted to thank you for saving my life. I don't know how to thank you. What do you want? Jewls? Rupees? Anything."

"Well, all I want is to be a warrior for Hyrule castle. Link was my cousin, and I have admiered him always, and I want to follow in his footsteps, except be an official warrior of Hyrule. I have all of his weapons, I took them from his body," said Dellum.

"Fine, you may be a Hylian warrior. You certanly have what it takes."

"Yes, but I am not nearly as good as Link. And I never will be. He was the Hero of Time, no one was better than he."

"I know, but you can try. Say, Ganon has two pieces of TriForce, and we need someone to retrieve them. Will you do the job?" Zelda said.

"Anything for you, your majesty."

"Please, I don't like being called that. Call me Zelda."

"All right. But I will need training," said Dellum.

"Of course. You can start in a week, now you need your rest. You really got into a fight from Ganon's army."

"Yeahmay I have a mirror? I want to see just how bad I look."

"Sure." Zelda handed Dellum a mirror with gold edges. Dellum saw his face, with a black eye, bloddy nose, and fat lip. His red hair was tangled and his blue eyes, well, blue EYE was bloodshot. His pointy Elvin ears were scratched, and one had missing skin off the end.

"Wow. I really got into a bawl, didn't I?"

"You did a great job the whole time."

Dellum smiled at Princess Zelda. Then he closed his eyes and lay back into the pillow.
