Evil will only reveal itself if it is confidant, if not, it is always
vulnerable.
When Link was a child, he would have to sneak into the courtyard, carefully staying out of the guards view. Today was a different story though, as the guards shared the same fate as the townspeople. Link skidded to a halt, dist flying from his leather boots, when he saw one guard moving. Link stared, confused and perplexed, the guard didn't look worried or frightened. In fact, he seemed to be completely ignorant about his surroundings. He just keep walking up and down a dirt path about 20 metres long, keeping his shoulders firm and stiff.
Rushing over to the guard, Link shouted out wildly. "Hey! You there!" The guards looked left and right to see if the shouts were aimed at him. "Yes you!" Link yelled out, confirming the guard's query. The guard was a tall 6- foot man, with broad soldiers and strong arms. His sword in his right arm rose, as if to caution Link. "Stop!" he yelled. "This is private residence, if you do not take yourself out, I will." Link stopped suddenly, his back arching up. "Oh, it's master Link. I haven't seen you here in years. Where does the time go?" "Link jolted back in astonishment, his mouth and eyes widened. "Haven't you looked around lately?! Everything is in havoc! Bolts of magic are flying -." Link paused. Looking around again, Link saw a luscious blue sky, thriving green grass, and more importantly, no sign of anything unusual.
The guard raised his eyebrow, as if to think that Link was completely insane. "Is everything ok master Link?" In all his confusion, link walked backwards, away from the guard who seemed to be abnormal at best. Suddenly, a great white light blocked Links vision, and the post apocalyptic view of Hyrule was once again back in his sights. The guard stood there staring at link, as if to wonder what he was up to. Link slowly passed back over to the guard, one step at a time, until he hit the dirt path that the guard had previously been marching up and down on. As before, the white light came, and the view reverted back to peaceful Hyrule. Link pinched himself to check if he was dreaming and no he was definitely awake, awake but maybe not sane. To check his sanity, Link grabbed the guard by his chain mail located on his chest and yanked him to the havoc area of Hyrule.
Falling over by surprise, the guard used his gloved fitted on his hand to wipe his brown hair away from his brown eyes. His plump red nose wiggled and he put his hand on the ground to push his upper half body upwards. Link put out his gloved hand with hole for his fingers and helped the guard up. The guard stood to his feet and stared to the desolate sky. Turning to Link, the guard asked, "What is happening?" Link put his index to his mouth, thinking of where to start in this bizarre event. "Well" he said finally "I got up and walked to the marketplace. The whole town was there, and they weren't moving. They seemed to be frozen somehow, and they all seemed to be caught off guard, all with terrifying expressions scared onto their faces. I have no idea what is with the blue bolts; I suspect some evil magic is afoot. I was on the way there until I ran into you, who seemed to be safe from all this. I know why I'm still ok, I am from Kokiri, and it seems that only humans were affected. You however-." He said slapping the guards back gently "Are as human as they come. I suspect that whatever has been done to that pathway, it seems to be a gateway to a different place, time or reality. I'm not entirely sure."
The guard bent over and put his hands on his knees, as if to take this all in. After a quick count to ten and a lot of heavy breathing he stood to his feet, looking firmly ahead. "We will have to stop it then." Link was taken back a little by the guard's sudden decision, but pleased to hear it nether the less. "Certainly, uhh sorry it has been seven years and I am terrible with names." The guard did not seem hurt "I am not surprised, I barely recognised you myself. The name is Commerford" (Yeah named after Rage Against The Machine's Tim Commerford - Author). Link smiled widely and lightly punched Commerford in the shoulder. Laughing, Link patted Commerford on the shoulder. "I remember you, you were the strongest guard in the whole palace. The only one to successfully remove from the courtyard if I recall correctly." Commerford smiled "Only doing my duty, sir." Link snapped his solemn expression back. His friend nodded, and they both ran of gallantly towards the blue bolts.
"Oh and Commerford, stop calling me sir" "Yes sir." "No no no you don't get it, I am not like that, don't give me a title." "Alright sir" "Gah!"
Next Chapter: Link and Commerford finally face the evil ahead, and try to find some answers.
