Chapter 2: A fancy acquaintance

The Gerudos chased Liea non-stop for what seemed like miles across Hyrule field. The never ending pursute and use of weapons drove Liea to utter weariness. She didn't know how much more she was going to last.

"Oh my goodness," Liea gasped while trying to catch her breath after running for so long. "Is this way out of hand! When will it stop?"

Liea momentarily stopped, but she couldn't stay long because the Gerudo women were still after her. She started running up to speed again, but was running with not much strength from being exhausted. Not long after Liea started running again did she stumble upon a small pile of baseball-sized rocks and fell upon the long soft grass.

The thud of Liea's body hitting the ground startled Epona who was nearby which scared Link. Link got up to try to calm Epona again.

"Hey Epona! Don't tell me you're scared of another butterfly again." Exclaimed Link, petting the horse's nose.

Link looked around for some sort of insect or whatnot and spotted something move out of the corner of his eye. Link noticed it was a person and ran over to help the injured soul. Liea lay there almost motionless from the hard fall. She tried to pull herself up, but it was no use; she was too weak and exhausted.

"Are you ok?" asked Link trying to help Liea up.

"Huh, what? Yea.yeah I guess I'm ok. Owe, my ankle."Liea was in a complete daze when she responded to the Good Samaritan while rubbing her ankle.

Liea looked up at her savior and saw that she was defiantly far from home. His somewhat long golden dirty-blonde hair seemed to just flow like water over his slightly tanned and baby-faced shaped complexion. His ears were long and pointy, like an elf's, with an earring in each ear. His eyes were such a heavenly blue color that you could clearly see that he's some sort of angel sent from above. He wore a green tunic and matching stocking like hat; His outfit also consisted of a white long sleeved shirt and white pants and wore big brown calf-high boots also. It was a man out of her dreams.

"Wow, it looks like you must have hurt your ankle from when you fell. Let me take a look at it." Link's voice was so soothing and sincere that Liea wished she could stay forever, though she doesn't know the guy.

"No, no. I have to go," Liea frantically said. "There are people chasing me. Thank you for helping me though." Liea pulled away her leg from Link. She was about to start running again when Link grabbed her arm in confusion.

"People are chasing you? Who?" questioned Link, willing to help.

"Um, these people, uh," Liea tried to remember. "I think they're the, um, Gerudos, and their leader is, um, I think, yeah, Ganondorf."

"GANONDORF! Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"We have to go!"

"Why, what? Huh? What's so bad about him?"

"I'll tell you later. We have to leave now or else; trust me!"

The galloping of the Gerudo horses grew louder and louder, and soon saw them coming over the nearest hill with Ganondorf riding in front. Liea tried to get up in fear and almost began to cry.

Link picked Liea up and carried her over to Epona. He then set Liea on the horse, mounted himself and rode away. The Gerudos were right behind them now throwing rocks and shooting arrows towards them, but almost hitting them.
