CHAPTER 2

LEGEND OF ZELDA: THE EIGHT MASKS

BY TOMBILL94402



Eight years later.

Tom darted across the rooftops of his hometown, Kakariko.

"Catch me if you can!" Yelled the gleeful teen.

"Gimme back my book!!!" Came the reply, from the Gerudo behind him.

He chuckled, and leapt from the roof of the Potions shop, to grasp the railings structure of the huge tower.

"Oh no you don't!" Yelled the blue-headed female. She whipped out a bow and arrow, with a rope attached. After a quick spot of aiming, she let the arrow fly over Tom. It lost its speed, and fell back, the rope now loops over a rail. It dropped through Tom's tunic, and yanked him down. He lost his grip, and he plummeted down.

"Aaaagh!"

After five meters of falling, the rope's slack ran out, and he hung upside down from his tunic. The impatient Gerudo tapped her foot.

"Ahem, I believe you have something of mine?"

With a slightly embarrassed laugh, Tom handed back her diary. She snatched it from him.

"Thank you." She said, turning on her heel and leaving.

"HEY JYUNA! HOW 'BOUT SOME HELP?!?"

With a quick slash of her sword, Jyuna cut the rope, and Tom fell to the ground.

"Ow."

"Serves you right. A diary is a very personal thingy!"

Tom rose to his feet, dusting himself off.

"Yeah yeah, whatever."

"I'm serious Tom! Next time you won't be hanging from your tunic!"

"Okay! I get it!"

After a short hike, they reached Hyrule field, and sat down on the wall.

"I'm bored." Complained Tom.

"So what can we do?"

After a second of pondering, something tackled Tom off the wall. With a startled cry, Tom fell off the wall, and rose to meet two crystal blue/gray eyes.

"Forest! You almost gave me a heart attack!!!"

She shrugged, and sat down next to Jyuna. As Tom sat down, she got an idea.

"Let's go bother Taen!!!"

This received smiles all round, especially from Jyuna. She was dying to see her boyfriend again.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"So which one does he live in?" Tom asked.

"Um. Maybe it's this one!" Said a hopeful Jyuna.

They had been lost in the maze of houses at Gerudo fortress for about half an hour now, and Forest and Tom were running out of patience. Tom snatched the map, and his jaw dropped.

"THE MAP IS UPSIDE DOWN!!!"

"Oops."

Forest almost fell over in sheer 'Duh', and they continued their search for the Gerudo lad.
