'Here we are- Kanon.' Usagi heaved a sigh.
Link peered around.
The village was very gloomy. A heavy fog surrounded it, and there wasn't a sound to be heard.
In the distance, a large stone castle stood, tall and proud.
'That is the castle of Princess Hisako… This town is so depressing and murky, many people are frightened to visit… Including me,' Usagi eyed the village with uncertainty.
'We don't have to go in, if you are afraid,' said Link.
Usagi glanced at him thoughtfully. 'I can get through this, Link. The hero of Hyrule is here with me!'
'Then let's go,' Link responded with a reassuring smile.
'Very well…' Usagi seized his hand nervously.
p
'Why is it so… Quiet?' Link's eyes were scanning through the mist.
'The people of Kanon are forbidden to speak without permission… No talking, no singing, no nothing…' Usagi replied sadly.
'They stay in their houses all day without uttering a single word?' Link inquired, surprised.
'Correct. If a single murmur is heard, even the slightest whisper is heard, they shall be put to death…' Usagi winced at her words. 'It's cruel, really.'
Link nodded his head in realization.
'You'll be seeing the one who carries out these laws… Princess of Kanon, Hisako,' Usagi announced grimly.
'Hisako rules these people? Is there no king?'
Usagi grimaced slightly. 'There was a king at one time, and he was far worse than his daughter. No one knows exactly what became of him, yet some say he chose exile and headed towards Mount Shuron…'
'Mount Shuron?' Link repeated.
'Yes, Mount Shuron is a very dangerous place… The Storm Sage is located at the very top. The people of Kanon worship Storm as a goddess…' Usagi gazed towards the mountain.
'Does the Princess?'
'Yes. She is very devoted towards Storm because she is impressed with the powers…'
'And then why does she- despise- you?' Link paused. 'You have immense abilities… You escaped the darkness, as the other sages failed to do… I say that is true power.'
Usagi blushed lightly. 'I-I do not know…'
p
'Here it is… The castle of Kanon…' Usagi inhaled deeply.
'How are we to get in?' Link asked curiously.
'Ah, that's simple… We sneak in!' Usagi laughed softly, pulling him forwards.
'Sneak?' Link repeated. 'That reminds me… I used to slip in to Zelda's castle, as a child…'
'You were a cheeky youngster?' Usagi questioned in surprise.
'No, the guards wouldn't allow me to pass,' Link answered.
'These guards are the same… Now, climb up there…'
p
Usagi and Link had moved swiftly past every guard.
When they had finally reached Hisako's headquarters, Usagi had inhaled deeply, as if preparing herself for the worst.
'The only way in is under water,' Usagi explained carefully, pointing towards the moat. Link nodded quickly as Usagi dipped herself in quietly.
p
'Princess Hisako, two unidentified persons were spotted in your gardens. When the guards tried to reach them, they both disappeared. Shall I propose a search?'
A young woman sat in a massive, crimson velvet chair, surrounded with silken pillows and many servants.
Her blazing red eyes snapped open and stared at the man.
She carelessly tossed her charcoal-black hair to the side, and closed her eyes once again. 'No, I'm positive it was simply a figment of their imagination. No searches are necessary,' her voice was dripping with boredom.
'Of course, Princess,' the butler muttered as he exited her throne.
'Off with you!' Hisako snapped, pushing away her servants.
The speedily left the room, making sure their princess was satisfied.
'Disappearing? Could it be…?' Hisako spoke to herself thoughtfully, twisting a loose hair around her finger. 'No, that woman wouldn't come back, would she?' a slight smirk played her lips as she rose from her seat.
p
Usagi scampered up the vent, with the help of Link, and kicked open the grate blocking her way.
'We're in the kitchens, Link,' Usagi sputtered, shaking off some access water. Her white dress clung to her body, drenched with water from head to toe.
Link could only smile at the expression on her face.
'That is the last time I get in by sewage pipes,' she huffed exaggeratedly.
'It wasn't that bad,' he replied, wringing out his hat.
Usagi cocked an eyebrow. 'Well you're cheerful, aren't you?'
Before he could reply, a sarcastic voice rang out. 'Well if it isn't Miss Sage? How nice it is to see you.'
Link glimpsed at Usagi as she gave a slight grimace and slowly turned around.
Before her was a young woman.
Her long, red robes dragged behind her, while her eyes were narrowed towards Usagi.
'Hisako,' she snorted in return, staring back at her.
Hisako averted eye contact to catch a glance at Link. 'The hero of time? Just what are you up to?'
Usagi placed herself in front of Link. 'That's none of your business.'
'I think it is. You're in my castle, and if I give the orders, I could have you killed,' Hisako snapped, glaring at her.
'We've come to seek your permission… We are both headed for Mount Shuron.'
'Oh? What business have you there?' Hisako inquired, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear.
Usagi clenched her fist. 'The Storm Sage beckons.'
Hisako peered at Usagi with a frown. 'Beckons? Storm? If that is what our goddess wishes, I will let you pass…' she paused. 'But I should like to talk to Link firstly. Come.'
Hisako pushed Usagi out of the way, grabbed Link's hand and tugged him along behind her.
p
Usagi heaved a sigh and leaned herself against the castle wall, since she had been forced outside to wait around for Link.
'Ah, we meet again.' A shadowed figure appeared, putting a hand on her shoulder.
Usagi spun around in surprise, only to come face-to-face with a young man with messy black hair and curious eyes.
'Oh… Mamarou, is it?' Usagi asked nervously.
Mamarou nodded slowly, taking his grip off her shoulder and bowing slightly. 'That I am.'
Usagi flashed a smile and backed up slightly. 'So- um- I think I should be going.'
Mamarou grinned and without a word, turned around and left.
'Stop following me…' Usagi whispered, a bead of sweat rolling down her cheek.
p
Well, That's all I can think of for now. Gomen! It was really short. I'd love it if you'd join my neopets challenge, as I mentioned at the top ^ R+R!
