Chapter 8

Problems arriving

Gideon, with a serious, neutral gesture, felt some other's presence, he glared and then turned over the cave's entrance. Link and Sheik, quickly got out of the cave's entrance and moved behind a big stone that was near, they hid behind it; Gideon, walked up to the entrance, while Herupu and Ninpu looked at him.

Herupu: What's wrong?

Ninpu: Shh... he saw something, probably.

Gideon looked around Gerudo Valley, he saw nothing, he glared again, turned around, and walked over the two gerudos. Herupu looked to Ninpu, asking:

Herupu: Hey Ninpu, wouldn't it be a good idea if we returned to the fortress? I mean, we could--

Then Ninpu interrupted her, and said: "Yes... you might be right, we could prepare, and of course get my prince dressed, he must be freezing..."

The three gerudos noddded, and then walked outside the cave, Gideon, since he was barely newborn, he didn't have clothes for himself, though, he had the coat that his mother put on. With this, he helped both of the women to go back to the fortress; Gideon didn't stop glaring, since he still felt the presence of Link and Sheik, but didn't care about it... for now.
While they were getting farther, Link and Sheik moved a little still from behind the stone to see if the gerudos were gone already, they saw nothing, and sighed in relief, sat on the floor and looked to each other.

Sheik: We have to do something, and quick.

Link: yes, we have to think of something first... we don't even know how powerful he is, but surely he is very dangerous.

Nisu, the other gerudo, heard Link and Sheik talking, and then walked over where they were, and then interrupted them "Excuse me, I couldn't stand hearing your conversation, but I am worried about this as well, I don't like how things are lately, neither anyone else in Hyrule will like them. If I can help you with something, please let me know."
Link and Sheik nodded, then Sheik added "Well, since you are a gerudo it will not be hard finding out what they are planning, and most likely they will ask for your help to do something on their side." In that moment, a strange sound from Gerudo Fortress could be heard, Nisu looked up and said "I have to go, they are calling all of us, and I will let you know about this as soon as I hear something useful." Link and Sheik nodded, then Link said "Hey, ma'am, tell to Nabooru to take care", Nisu nodded "I will" and then Link and Sheik stood up, while Nisu ran off to Gerudo Fortress.

Sheik: It wouldn't be a bad idea if we went to meet Yushii again, we might need that sword's help, plus, we need to be prepared before it is too late.

Link nodded "Yes, let's teleport." Link and Sheik took out their instruments, played the Serenade of Water and teleported to Lake Hylia, then they jumped inside the water and started swimming as fast as they could, they were about to arrive, but a huge dark ray of electric power coming from west direction, blocked the entrance with a huge barrier.

Link and Sheik quickly stopped, getting scared by almost being touched by the ray.

Link: NO NO NO NO!! TOO LATE!! Gideon must have seen us in Gerudo Valley.

Sheik: Probably, but how? I mean, we hid... Though, that would show how much powers that guy has, he even might be able to feel someone's presence. We need to do something... before Gideon thinks on doing something else.

Link: But what? We can't attack him because we don't have the necessary weapons. Unless...

Sheik: huh? Unless...?

Link: Hey, do you still have those guard weapons in your castle? You know, those that are kept in case of war.

Sheik: Perhaps... Why?

Link: We could find something useful there.

Sheik: Yeah, we could ask the General about that.

Link: Let's teleport to the Temple of Time then.

Link and Sheik took out their instruments again and teleported to the Temple of Time, when they were found inside the temple, they looked around, they saw that the temple wasn't as bright as before.

Link: I wonder... or Rauru doesn't look after the temple, or something wrong is going on?

Sheik: I don't think that Rauru doesn't look after the temple...

Link: Then is there something wrong?

In that moment, a pair of Stalfos appeared, they were laughing to themselves, walking around Link and Sheik

Sheik: great... now I guess that answers your question?

Sheik took out her chain, while Link took out his shield and unsheathed a common sword, their backs facing each other, while both of Link and Sheik were looking at the Stalfos's moves carefully, then Link answered grinning "Yes, pretty much it."
