A/N- The Rain Child: Thank you for the answer. It helps a lot! Here's
the next chapter though this is the best title I could come up with!
CHAPTER 9- THE GERUDOS
Link, Malon, and Impa were walking through the strange forest on the edge of Rellonia. Not knowing exactly where to go, Malon and Impa followed Link since he usually had a good sense of direction.
"How long have we been walking?" Malon asked. It was a hot day and she was getting tired. It seemed they had been walking for many, many hours.
"I'd say about three or four hours." Impa answered her. "We shouldn't be that far from Rellonia."
"Na, about another three hours. Not too long." Link agreed.
"My feet hurt." Malon said after another hour or so.
"You should have said that before." Link took out his Ocarina and played Epona's Song. Shortly after he was finished, Epona came to them at a gallop. "Hey, girl. Mind if Malon rides you a bit?" Epona neighed in response. "Come here, Malon." Malon limped over to him and he helped her onto the mare's back.
"Thank you, Link." Malon said.
"Impa, there's enough room up there for you. Need a break?" Link asked.
The Sage of Shadow shook her head. "No, I'm fine. We're almost there." Suddenly a Gerudo jumped out of the bushes with four Stalfos in shrp pursuit. Link drew his sword. The Gerudo turned to face the three of them and Impa gave a shout. "Naboru!"
In response the Gerudo drew her twin swords. "Ah, Impa nice to see you. And you too, Link. But how about giving me a hand here?" Naboru ducked under one of the Stalfos's attacks but went right into the path of another's swing. Link quickly moved to stick the Master Sword in between the Stalfos's sword and Naboru. Being shielded from one side, the Gerudo dodge-rolled to the left and swung her sword's up and through the closest Stalfos. It grunted and disappeared. She stood up and saw Link cornering two of the creatures.
"I have these two, you get that one!" The hero called. He side stepped to the right to avoid an oncoming attack and charged up his spin attack. Link released it and cleaved a Stalfos in two. It also grunted and disappeared. He didn't turn around, but swung his sword backwards chopping the oncoming Stalfos's head off. It then ran around in circles and was silenced when Link brought the flat of his sword down on the creature's back. Together, he and Naboru finished off the last of the attackers and walked over to where Impa and Malon waited.
"That was fantastic!" Malon greeted them. "You two work great together!"
"Yeah, I guess we do." Link said. He and Naboru gave each other a smie. The hero stuck out his hand. "Partners?"
The Spirit Sage shook it. "Partners."
Impa, always being the one to get to the point, asked Naboru, "Where did you come from? Why did those Stalfos follow you?"
Naboru sighed. "Not long after your disappearance, Ganondorf's minions came looking for me. When they had me, they marched me all the way to the Rellanian border. I didn't want to go anywhere near that place so I escaped. Those stupid creatures followed me and thus, I ran into you guys."
Impa nodded, "I figured as much. Do you have any news of Ganondorf or the Princess?"
Naboru looked sharply at the caretaker, "The Princess?!"
"Ganondorf has her. She followed me here." Link said bitterly.
"Well, I only saw Ganondorf. He was walking up the slope of that mountain with three Stalfos, though it looked like they had something, or someone with them." The Gerudo scowled. Everyone knew she hated Ganondorf unlike any of them. Ganondorf was a Gerudo like her, though he was male. The Gerudos are a race of warrior females though every thousand years or so a male Gerudo comes out. Ganondorf was that male and a very nasty one at that.
"That mountain leads to Rellania, right?" Malon asked.
"Yes." Naboru answered her.
"Then we should keep going. Ready?" Link asked. They all nodded and their little party of two Hylians, a Sheikah, a Gerudo, and a horse all continued to Rellania.

At the Rellainian Palace, Ganondorf paced up and down his room thinking. 'That stupid Princess won't cooperate. Not that I expected she would.' He thought. The Gerudo sighed. Nothing left to do but force her to follow his plans. He walked out his door and down the hallway to Princess Zelda's room. Opening the door, he stepped inside. 'Strange,' he thought, 'you would think she'd have her light on.' He continued to her bed. "Zelda, what are you doing?" he asked. He called light into the oil lamps placed throughout the room. There, Zelda had her eyes shut and she was sitting on the edge of her bed.
"Stop that!" He roared. She was calling on the other six Sages! He grabbed her arm and yanked her to her feet. "You stop fooling around! You're under my command and no Sage is gonna help you!"
"That's not true!" Zelda screamed almost as loudly. "You'll see!" She tried to pull free but his grip was too strong.
"Stupid girl." He said. "You'll soon play your part in the fall of Hyrule and all will be mine!" Ganondorf laughed evilly.

Both Impa and Naboru looked up all of a sudden. "What's wrong?" Link and Malon asked at the same time.
Both of the Sages looked sad and angry. Impa took a deep breath and finally said, "Zelda's in trouble!"
