Disclaimer: I don't own Zelda.

Oh, my keyboard is screwed up. It doesn't put in the "z" very well. I just had to press it 9 times for the Z to appear. So if things are missing a Z, forgive me.

FOURTEEN

-

Link and Cardaras were lead to a new room, a jail. Flipper ran up to them.



"Stop! They saved my life!"

"Should we break our laws? Our NEWEST law?"

"Yes!"

"Take him to the king!"

Flipper explained the story to the king. The king tapped his chin, thinking.

"They are spared."

Flipper cheered, as Cardaras and Link sighed in relief.

"Where are you going?"

"We passed the Battle Arena. You see, we are-"

"Link." Cardaras spoke the one word. It was not unfriendly but it was firm. Link caught himself.

"You can tell us!"

"Should we trust a man?"

"Why do you hate men?"

"We hate Ganondorf and the new king, and his men."

"Then we can tell you."

Cardaras and Link told of their adventure so far.

The king spoke. "You need an army to match theirs. I give you a couple thousand zoras."

A Zora, one of the spearmen that had Link, spoke "This is unwise. But I follow your orders."

"Good. You should."

Link and Cardaras were ready to go. So were 8,000 Zoras to come with them.

The King said one last thing.

"Before you leave, could you please see Jabu Jabu? For you see, he has been expecting you."

A/n: All done. I'm on a roll. What will Jabu Jabu say? Is their number enough? How did Jabu Jabu expect them? Read next chapter for ALL the answer to these questions!
