Lyle was packing his and his son's belongings into a large sack, Tila creaked opened the bedroom door.
"Oh...leaving so soon...?" She asked puzzled.
Lyle stuffed an old shirt into the sack before answering. "I have too, Lance is probably trying to hunt me down and have me killed for leaving the army."
"Killed? Oh now Lyle, don't you think you're making this into such a big issue." Tila asked.
"No Tila, Lance believes it's a dishonour for leaving an army during a war, and he even told the whole Hylain army before we went into battle that he would hunt anyone down and have them killed if they ever left to show the rest of the army not to try the same stunt, and trust me, that man keeps his word."
Tila stared back at Lyle with a surprised expression. "That must be one crazy leader." She commented.
"You're telling me." Lyle agreed, standing up and throwing the sack over his back. "Well thank you very much for taking care of Link while I was away, and thanks for letting me stay the night."
"Ohhh that's quite alright Lyle, you're welcomed anytime."
Lyle smiled back at her, "Link!! We're going!" He called out.
"Coming!" A distance voice called back.
"Hopefully this war will be over before we know it, and how exactly are you going to be able to leave Hyrule without being captured?" Tila questioned.
"Silent Running on dangerous ground, I suppose." He answered, "I'll be careful."
"Good."
Just at that moment Link came stumbling into the room.
"I'm ready." He said.
"Alright then, we'll be on our way, a ship leaves for Termina this afternoon, see you soon Tila." Lyle said.
"Goodbye!" Link waved, as Lyle lifted him onto his horse, before climbing oh himself.
Tila waved back before the two galloped off.
"So what's Termina like Dad?" Link asked.
"I'm not exactly sure, all I know is it's some sort of clock town, apparently they have the carnival of time every year, perhaps we could go and see what that's like." Lyle answered.
"Sounds great!"
As the pair were passing Zora's river, Lyle noticed something up in the distance.
"What's that Dad?"
"I think it's a Zora, coming our way."
Sure enough, it was a Zora, but not just any Zora, but the Princess of the Zora's, Ruto.
"Oh Forore, you're one of Lance's soldiers!" She panicked, shielding her head with her arms/fins.
"Relax young Zora, I 'was' one of Lance's soldiers, I don't work with him anymore."
The Zora Princess unshielded her face, glaring back at the adult Hylain.
"You....? You left Lance's army?...Isn't that like asking to be killed?" She asked.
Lyle sighed, "Yes, I'm aware of the risks that I have taken, that's why I'm trying to leave Hyrule."
"Oh....Do you think you could help the Zora's before you leave? Lance has gotten all the races against each other, Hylains against Gerudos, Gerudos against, the Zora's the..."
"I know, I know." Lyle interrupted the Zora Princess. "He tried to drag my son into it too."
"Could you please visit my father before you leave, King Zora?"
Lyle sighed again, he had a little bit of time before the ship sailed off, and being inside the walls of Zora's domain would protect him and Link from any Hylain Knights.
"Alright, but only for a little while."
Princess Ruto leaded the father and son up towards Zora's domain and into the lair of King Zora.
"Ruto! You bought Hylains into our domain!" King Zora roared.
"Relax father, this is Lyle, an ex-soldier from Lance's army and his son Link. Lyle has come to discuss the issue with Lance." Ruto explained.
"Hmmmm..." King Zora muttered. "Alright, Ruto, could you please take Link and yourself somewhere else, we Lyle and I can talk.
Ruto nodded and took Link by the hand leading him into a small room.
"What's going on?" Link asked, he was pretty confused about the whole war.
"Lance is the cancer of this war, my father has noticed that Lance is a selfish Hylian who wants nothing but power, and looks like your father has realized this as well." Ruto explained. "Your father is pretty brave leaving Lance like that, he's under a lot of pressure right now."
Link nodded. "I've noticed, on our way here he keeps looking around being cautious of everything, that's not usually like him."
"I know you're father is a strong and brave fighter, but he can't fight Lance until the whole army realises what exactly is going on, they need to open their eyes and take a good hard look."
Link nodded again, until his father walked into the room.
"C'mon Link, it's time to leave." Lyle picked up his son and Link waved goodbye to his new friend.
Later on that afternoon, the pair reached the shipping docks and thankfully there was a ship just about ready to leave.
"Ready to go to Termina boy?" Lyle questioned
Link nodded, as he and Lyle a boarded the ship.
"We should be in Termina by tomorrow morning." Lyle looked back at his homeland before the ship soon sailed off towards it's destination.
