Legend of Zelda : Council of mages.
Chapter 4 : Retreat
The wedding went quickly and without a single mess-up. The celebrations lasted three days while the visiting princes all left for their own homes. When the last one was gone the atmosphere in the castle turned tense as the king and link prepared for Baldor's arrival.
The other inhabitance of Hyrule were sent official warnings by the crown and all guards and soldiers where called to duty.
"How long will it take for the beast to arrive?" the king asked link one morning two weeks after Link had married Zelda. Link calculated the time and how long his friends could hold the border but before telling the answer link let out a shout of surprise. "Three days give or take, our border defences have just gone down."
*********************
Cleo ran for her life as the war bolts rained down after her. Baldor had broken the magical barrier after two weeks of hard work and Pleadies, Alexandria, Aquillmie, Electrete and herself had been forced to retreat. Beside her Aquillmie stumbled, her webbed feet not accustomed to running on the hard land. Cleo and Alexandria both helped her as Pleadies made some funny hand motions that resulted in a swirling yellow trimmed picture of Hyrule castle appearing before them.
They didn't try to think about what it was. They just leapt at the picture expecting to crash into it.
None of them expected to fall strait through. But then nothing had been normal since they'd meet link.
*******
They fell in a huddle onto a soft lawn. Electrete was the first to sit up and look around. He shook his head to clear the mist from his mind then looked around the bright court yard to see a long spear aimed at his chest.
"Who are you and how'd you get in." Demanded the surly looking guard. Electrete looked beyond the ring of their captures and saw stone walls enclosing them completely. Not far away he sensed Alexandria and Pleadies regain full consciousness. But Cleo and Aquillmie were still out cold from the landing and their lack of energy.
The guard was repeating his demand when a new voice floated through the court yard. "Pull back and leave them be they are no enemy." The guards grumbled and went back to their posts as link cam forward beside a pretty blonde young woman Electrete recognised immediately as the princess Zelda.
"Baldor" he blurted as link crouched beside him. "He got past us and we had to escape then Pleadies did something funny and we where transported here..." his voice trailed off as link put a hand out to help him to his feet.
"You look like hell." commented the hero of time. "It would have been hard since you didn't have any prior training, I have to admit that I thought you would've failed long ago." "That's a comforting thought." said a sarcastic female voice from the ground a little way off.
Alexandria stood, her face ashen grey from over exertion. Zelda went over to help the young Gerudo. "Why didn't you come?" she demanded rather than asked. "You knew that we can't use our magic. So why didn't you come and help." Link's face had a slightly hurt and bemused expression.
"Because I was needed here and how was I supposed to help you? I can't teach you how to use the magic you have let alone teach you more. The great faeries will help you if you ask but I can't, I had to teach myself."
Zelda looked from one face to another and recognised that the new comers had had little sleep. Her idea of food and rest was welcomed by the youths. Proper explanations would have to wait.
*********************
After they'd taken the others to one of the spare soldiers barracks were they'd elected to sleep, Link and Zelda went back to their own room.
"We have to put part two of your fathers plan into action soon or we won't get a chance to leave the castle." Link said to Zelda as they sat down. "But how will we get past Baldor, let alone to anywhere safe?"
Link couldn't help but smile, "I can get in can't I." he said. Zelda nodded her head. "Well I shore as hell can get us out, Or have you forgotten the ocarina of time."
Zelda suddenly understood what link was getting at. "The songs." she cried "The warp pads, we can use them, but what about your friends?" She was worried for them, they having not recovered to their full strength even with the help of a red potion.
Link shrugged in a non-committal way. "They can come with us to the lost woods or something." Zelda looked a little disappointed at what he was preposing. "I was hoping that we could go alone." she said in her shyest voice.
"It's just that in all the havoc of preparing for Baldor we haven't had a chance..." she stopped but link got the drift of what she was saying. He came across and sat on the bed beside her. "Soon." he crooned over her as she berried her head into the curve of his neck "Soon when this is all over."
"When will it be over." Zelda argued sitting up to face him squarely. "Baldor has already left two countries destroyed in his wake what if he leaves Hyrule the same way." "He won't." Link assured her "I won't let him neither will my friends. No one wants to see Hyrule destroyed we will all fight."
"But what if he kills you."
Those words brought vivid images to their minds. Link shuddered, "Don't talk of such things. It will not help to think in such a way. Any way Baldor only has a few mages with him other than himself and they are weak. We have thirteen. Eight of whom are fully trained. There's enough magic behind us to push his ass back out to the edge of the world and chain him there."
Zelda wouldn't speak. This really didn't seem like her fight.
