The Legend of Zelda: Dark World

*~* Chapter 4 - Preparations for Departure *~*

Link and Katt were preparing to depart for Senkrad, "So...do you have any weapons?" Link asked, tossing his quiver over his shoulder.

"Just a bow and Ice Arrows," Katt replied.

Link sighed, "Great..." Katt gave Link and evil glare, "Listen, you're going to need more than that! You can get a shield over at the bar in the Hylian..."

"No!!" Katt cut in, "I don't want any Hylian crap! The Gerudo are my people, so I only use Gerudo made weapons! We need to...try...to get into the Gerudo Fortress..."

"Try? Are you not a Gerudo? Shouldn't you be able to get into the Fortress?"

"Well...yeah...but I was kicked out of the Fortress. I should be able to sneak in, though."

"All right, then. Let's get going," Link said before placing his sword in its sheath.

They walked out of the Forest and into Hyrule Field, and were greeted by Ruby, Katt's loyal horse. "Think you can keep up with me?" Katt smirked as she stroked Ruby's white, brown-spotted side.

"Easily," Link pulled out his blue ocarina, and played 'Epona's Song'. A chestnut-coloured horse galloped up to Link, "Epona's the fastest horse in Hyrule...and Termina!"

"I see..." Katt blinked.

"Are you confused?" Link asked. Katt blinked again, "Do you not know what Termina is?"

"Um...no...I really don't."

Link sighed, "No time to explain." He mounted Epona, and Katt mounted Ruby.

"Anyway..." Katt began, "I'm going to get there first!" she tapped Ruby's hindquarter. The horse immediately dashed towards the 'red earth'. Link and Epona followed, close behind.

"Welcome to Gerudo Valley." Katt said when they first arrived.

"It's not like this is the first time I've been here," Link stated as Epona trotted across the valley's bridge.

"Of course, not...because a male Kokiri is a Gerudo member," Katt said sarcastically while pulling her scarf over her face, leaving only her Gerudo eyes showing.

"Actually, I am!" Link smiled proudly, then after a moment tilted his head, "Wait...I'm not...that was in the future..."

"Of course...future," Katt rolled her eyes as she pulled gloves over her pale arms.

"Long story. I'll explain...when I feel like it. And I'm a Hylian, for the record!"

"Yeah, yeah," Katt muttered, "Give me your horse."

"Huh? Oh, OK," he agreed immediately, "Wait! NO! You're the worst thief I've seen! 'Give me your horse.' What the hell is that!?"

"I'm not stealing your horse, dumbass. I'm trying to keep my identity from the Gerudo. If a pink-haired Gerudo comes in on a horse that just so happens to look exactly like the horse of the pink-haired Gerudo who was kicked out of the Fortress a couple days ago...don't you think they'd be suspicious!?"

"Huh? I lost you at the pink hair thing..."

"Just get off your horse!!" Katt shouted. Link reluctantly dismounted Epona, then Katt mounted her. "OK, before I go, I want to get one thing straight: Be ready to escape! There's a huge chance that they'll notice me! I'm going to get in and out as fast as possible. Mount Ruby, and wait for me. I'll be back soon." Katt tapped Epona's hindquarter and the horse galloped into the Fortress.

"Good luck..." Link said softly.

After sometime Epona emerged from the Fortress, "Get the hell out of here!!" Katt called from the horse's back. Link obeyed Katt's command, and slapped Ruby's side. The horse galloped across the bridge and out into Hyrule Field. When they finally arrived at Kokiri Forest, Katt and Epona were waiting for them.

"About time you got here," Katt smirked. Just then, a fairy flew up to them, carrying a tunic, gloves and boots.

"For...the...Gerudo..." the fairy collapsed on the ground.

"Um...I'm guessing that's me," Katt said, picking up the tunic, gloves and boots.

Another fairy swooped down, "Aw, geez! Bob fainted again. I'm guess he didn't give you two the whole message?" Link and Katt stared at the fairy blankly, the fairy continued without an answer, "Yeah, so you, Katt person, have to wear that tunic. The Deku Tree said something about all heroes wearing tunics...yada, yada, yada...Good luck on your quest!" the fairy picked up 'Bob' and flew away.

"That was a little creepy," Link stated, raising an eyebrow. Katt couldn't help but laugh. "You...go get changed into that tunic at Saria's or something. I'll meet you at the entrance of the Lost Woods." Katt nodded, then ran off to Saria's.

Soon, they met at the entrance of the Lost Woods. They didn't talk during the hike through the forest, until they reached the point where they were to enter Senkrad, "So, we turn left?" Katt asked.

"Right," replied Link.

"What? But the Deku Tree said left..."

"That's right."

"No! It's left!" Katt argued.

"Screw this! Just turn left!" Link yelled.

"That's what I said in the first place," Katt murmured. She stepped through the left pathway. Link followed her, annoyed.
