Link ran through the third floor, his breath coming out in short gasps. He
skidded to a halt in front of Madaline's room and was about to burst in to
tell her what happened when he heard his sister's voice;
"Ooh, Legolas, you naughty elf!" Madaline was talking to a pillow that was
dressed in a green tunic, an old one of Links she had taken from his room.
"Um, Madaline?" he opened the door and was about to look inside. "LINK!" Madaline panicked and stuffed the pillow with trembling hands underneath the bed. "GO AWAY!! I'm.uh..umm," she floundered, "not dressed!!" "Oh..hurry up, will you?" Link said, sounding worried. Madeliene poked her head around the door. "What now?" "Its Kim..you know her, right? Lives in the big mansion on the-" "Yes, Link, she goes to my school..whats wrong? Tell me!" "Well we were playing-" "Playing, huh?" "Oh, shut up. We were outside, and she fell in the stream, and then we..um..ok skip that..and then the arrow..and she fell..and..and.." With that, Link fell to the floor, unconscious. "Riight." Madeliene prodded his face. Definitely fainted. She turned back to her bed. "Oooh, Legolas! Where are you??"
Clock Town, POST OFFICE
"Erm..yes, one phone call, please?" Link held a pointed finger to the Goron in red uniform near the LD. Calls. "Of course, goro. Right this way, goro." He stumped off to a booth and held the door open. "Um..thanks." He smiled and picked up the phone, dialing the number and slotting in the 5 rupee coin. It rang three times, then clicked. "Hello? Mo speaking." The young mud girl twirled her manicured fingers lazily around the cord. "Mo? Oh, good..its me, Link?" "Whats up? Haven't called me in a long time!" She leant forward in her large leather armchair and fiddled with an expensive looking pen on her mahogany desk. "Turn on the CV." "TV, Link. TV." "Whatever. Turn on the old man channel" "Right. News.." she flicked over the 2098 channels and came to a stop on ENN (Elf Network News). A portly elf stumbled through the head stories, constantly checking and re-checking his tie was in place. "Tell me what you see." "Right. Earthquake in Termina..Gannondorf escaped and is now swearing revenge on those who imprisoned him..again..Oh, look new one, " She tapped a nearby laptop and paused, her eyes focusing with the square black spectacles she wore, "YES!!! 4-1 TO MAN-U!!" she cheered, forgetting she was on the phone. "Foocuss, Mo. Fooocuuss.." "Ah..Sorry about that. Um..some kind of killing going on in Hyrule..Princess been killed? Ring any bells?" there was a silence, "Hey, Link, you OK?" Mo sighed. Fainted! Wuss.. She hung up her phone and turned in her chair to watch football that was streaming on her iBook. "YES!!!!!! GO ON, MY SON!!!!!!"
POST OFFICE (a bit later)
"Sir? Sir, are you ok?" A surly Zora slapped his face repeatedly. Link awoke with a start. "Woah! Um, yeah, thanks." he ran outside and through the narrow street that was lined with shops of all kinds. He talked to the guard and ran out into Termina field, fishing out his ocarina and raising it to his lips. The notes rang in the air and he gazed out into the forest, where he could see Epona galloping towards him, the notes flying around her mane and twisting between her hooves. She skidded to a halt and Link vaulted onto her, digging his heels into her side and grabbing her mane as she flew up the mountains and into Hyrule Meadow. As she cantered through the long grass Link ran through his rather sketchy Plan (it was a very 'capital letter' sort of plan, very important like). For now it was to find whoever was behind all these killings and sort him out. Hopefully there wouldn't be any fighting involved, but he would be prepared for it either way. Should he tell his parents? He decided against it, they wouldn't let him go just for a girl, he imagined. Epona suddenly slowed to stop and pawed at the ground. He frowned, and jumped off, his horse nudging his arm. He realized with a jolt that he was near the stream. Suddenly, a flash of light caught his eye. A small silver arrowhead was embedded in the mossy ground. He knelt down and picked it up, turning it over in his palm. He noticed a dented, mud encrusted carving near the tip, and he put it in his pocket, then jumped back onto Epona. "C'mon, I have a theory.."
