It Won't Stop Running Down My Hand

Walking through the gates of castle town, a large man with a long sword and a beautiful woman with a Hylian shield stood in front of a large mass of soldiers. The young man pulled out his long sword, flipped it around in the air, displaying his prowess with the weapon and came to a defensive stance in front of the blonde haired woman.

"If you want her, just try to get past me!" Link shouted with a look of force on his face.

"It's that devil!" screamed one of the soldiers as he pulled a whistle out of his pocket, blew it loudly and waited. A moment later, archers with crossbows came out all around them from different hiding spots and aimed their weapons at Link and Zelda.

"Link." Zelda mumbled under her breath as all the archers fired at the duo. Standing his ground, Link held his weapon in front of him, in hopes of blocking the arrows that were aimed for his face. In the blink of an eye, time seemed to slow down, as all the arrows seemed to slow down and bounce off of some invisible field that surrounded Link and Zelda.

"Is this your doing?" Link whispered to a surprised Zelda.

"No, if I know any spells they're not nearly as strong as this…" she trailed off with a look of shock on her face. While they spoke, the archers fired yet another volley of arrows, but this time Link looked at his sword, and found that it glowed from the hilt every time an arrow came close to where the princess was. A large smile formed on his lips as he raised the sword into the air and slammed the weapon, blade first, into the ground in front of Zelda. All of the mutineer soldiers stared at the large man, as he stepped in front of where the blade was, raised his arms into a fighting position and motioned with his finger to 'come closer.'

"Bring it on." he smiled as the soldiers just looked at him like he was crazy. Sure he could destroy armies, but that was with weapons! As far as they were concerned, he had become stark raving mad.

"Be careful…" Zelda whispered as she noticed Link gave her a small smile and reached to his back and ripped his pack off and toss it to her feet.

"Cover me," he said, as if he was asking her for a common favor.

"What are you talking about? I can't fire at my own countrymen!" she shouted, a small amount of fear in her voice.

"They are no longer your subjects. They are nothing more then ungrateful pigs, begging to be slaughtered…" Link trailed off, halfway realizing his speech was probably too twisted. In any case, he had gotten his point across, as Zelda reached into the pack and pulled out a bow with a quiver of arrows. As more archers fired at Zelda, the Master Sword deflected any missiles that would come near her.

"With the firing of that bow Zelda, you are no longer a princess…" Link said aloud as she prepared an arrow and pulled back, waiting to fire.

"Once you let loose that arrow, you are a Queen!" Link shrieked the top of his lungs as he dove at a nearby soldier, punching him in the nose and pulling the sword from out of his hands. As he swung the borrowed blade into the neck of a charging soldier, he heard the Queen's arrow fire and sink into the stomach of another soldier that was coming up behind Link. Leaving the sword he rented in the neck of the soldier, he pivoted on his foot and slammed his elbow into the man who was sneaking up behind him, who now had an arrow in his stomach. As he dropped backwards, Link pulled the arrow out of his gut, and spun around. The spin surprised yet another warrior who was running towards him, so Link to the opportunity to jam the arrow into the man's eye, causing blood to spew forth and curses to fly out of his mouth. Grabbing the man's weapon, which was a spear, he quickly jumped into the air and over the man, bringing the spear down into the throat of another fighter. A scream didn't even have time to form as the pole arm slid down his gullet and crushed most of his organs as it made its way to his inner abdomen. Leaving the javelin in his body, Link hopped away from him, and found another soldier, preparing to swing a flail at him. Sliding close to the man who swung, he jammed his open palm into the man's face as the swing went too far and the man's right arm was wide open, revealing an open spot in his armor. Pulling out a small dagger, Link quickly jammed the knife into the man's underarm, which had no armor protecting it. Screaming, Link was about to leave him for others when an arrow pierced into the man's throat, killing him. Glancing over his shoulder, he found that Zelda was firing her arrows at an incredible rate with precision, showing that she probably had some prior training with the weapon before. Link then noticed something incredible; all the archers were dead!

"How could she possibly be that good with such a weapon?" Link thought to himself, as he dove towards his valuable long sword, tumbling and diving out of weapons that were being thrust towards him. Finally reaching the weapon, he pulled it out of the ground, and for a moment he thought he heard the blade scream for the blood of the guilty. The warriors stopped dead in their tracks as they realized the demon had his weapon.

"Who wants to die first?" Link sneered, as the soldiers backed away from him and the Queen. Then, in an unexpected act, a huge group of fighters, all having a piece of red cloth tied around their arms, ran in from around a corner and dove into the crowd of radical soldiers, slicing them to pieces. After a few minutes, one of the warriors who were wearing red cloth walked slowly towards Link and Zelda. He then bowed to the Queen and Link noticed a tear rolled down his face.

"Your majesty, you have returned." he spoke in a dignified voice

"Where is he?" Link asked in a grim voice.

"Who?" the soldier asked as he looked up at Link.

"Kastu?" Zelda answered as he looked at the both of them.

"He's currently taking most of the soldier we have and blitzing the castle, in an effort to take down Sifrak." the soldier answered as Link and Zelda hurried towards the castle.

"You cannot go there my liege!" the soldier shouted as Link looked to them both.

"Give me fifteen minutes, and come in. That's all the time I'll need…" he spoke as he tightened his grip on the Master Sword.

"You have exactly that much time." Zelda said as she followed him towards the castle and Link left her and the soldiers in a small patch of forest near the castle. Walking up to the huge doors of the castle, he slammed them open and stepped into the dim hall. Lying before him were the bodies of hundreds of soldiers. Laying in the middle of the sea of bodies was one with an axe in it's side, a sword in it's back, a large amount of arrows sticking in it, a spear through it's stomach and out its back, and a piece of it's neck cleaved off from some large sword. Truly, whoever the soldier was, he was more tenacious then all the others and fought bravely to the end. Aside from Link, no other living being was in the main hallway. Stepping up to the body, he felt a tingle in his left hand. Finally getting a good look at the face of the person, he let out a gasp. He then quickly looked to his left hand, and saw that the small amount of blood that was sliding out had now stopped. In the middle of the vortex that released the blood was now a large and reptilian eye. Blinking, it looked around and then finally found Link looking into it. A moment passed before Link let out a screech of agony. Blood then erupted out his left hand like a volcano of gore as he began to run towards the direction Sifrak would be. The person lying on the ground, dead, was Kastu…

Author's Note: Lousy College and work… always destroying my time. Well, I hope things are still as interesting in this fan fiction, despite the fact it's taking me a thousand years to finish it. As for my last author's note? The person who used the quote was Serpentor, from G.I. Joe. Why bring that up? I don't know… but talking about the Joe's is better then making lousy excuses as to why I don't write as much as I should… Oh yeah, sorry it's so short, but again, it's all about the time… Thanks for reading and reviewing!
