"Ah... at last the open sea, and no end in sight. Life is good." thought
Link on the newly built ship.
"Nothing but, small islands and choppy sea all the way to Merking Isle."
"Hey Link, shouldn't you be checking the map for king Octoroks on the map?"
"Okaaay." Link said with a sigh, no break for him today. "Nothing, but that uncharted island in front of us worries me right now, Tetra."
"Well is there an Octo dot anywhere in that area Link?" Tetra asked.
"Well there is one west of here 20 miles." Link said causually. "No need to worry."
"Then the ship hit someting soft. "What was that?" Tetra asked Zuko the foreman.
"It was a bumpy, clearish pink thing." Zuko said. "When we hit it, it slipped into the ocean faster than I could see."
"A salt island?" Link asked Tetra, starting to get worried.
"That was no island." Tetra said in a low shaky voice." Man the cannon's, turn the ship portside, and brace yourselves this could get messy."
Then the sea started to shake violently, each wave hitting the boat harder than the last.
"Good thing we got that new ship, the old one wouldn't have lasted very long." Link thought to himself.
Rooooaaaaarrrr!!!
"What was that?!" Link yelled over the roar.
"Link! Those Octoroks tentacles drift 20 miles away from its body!" Tetra screamed over the roar.
"What?!" Link managed to yell, between waves.
Then after a huge wave, it appeared.
Link lost his breath at what he saw.
At first only the top of its head was showing, 50 times as big as a big octo. Link was already scared at the tip of the Octo, he had forgottenits true size... until...
"AHHHHH! Tetra turn back quic-"But it was too late, the king Octo rose out of the water until the top of its head to the bottom of its tube like mouth, was visible to all.
The ship flew back across the water a few miles, until landing beyond the range of its head. Even 5 miles away the creature towered over them.
ROOOOOAAAAARRR!!!
The blast of air from its roar, made tidal waves as tall as Outset Peak.
"Brace yourselv-" Tetra began.
BAM! Half the crew went flying, while the other half flew to their feet.
However Link had his Iron boots on. Then something stirred within the bag behind Link. He tore open the bag only to find...
"ARYLL?!"
"Hi big brother."
"Link was so angry he couldn't speak, "RRRRRR, get into the quarters deck, NOW!"
"Yes, big brother." Aryll said weakly, as she ran to the deck.
"I can't believe Aryll is here, this changes everything!" Link fumed.
"Wait! If we can- yes! That would work!"
"Tetra! Have you gathered the crew from the ocean?" Link yelled over the rushing water.
"Yeah! Now what?"
"Aim the ship 23 degrees starboard! This is gonna be great!"
"What?! That'll put us straight into its tentacles! We'll be crushed!"
"Leave that to me!" Link said getting out his bow.
"You heard him! 23 degrees starboard of the monster."Tetra yelled then she thought,"I hope Link knows what he's doing."
"Okay here we go, I can't miss, if I do we're sunk."Link thought as he pulled the two arrows back.
Then as they made their approach, one of the tentacles rose out of the water.
"Man, that's big!" Link thought gulping.
Then as the monster turned to greet them, it roared again.
"Pull up the sails!" Link yelled with all his might.
Then the monsters tentacle fell into the water with enough power to destroy, 4 sectors of the great sea.
"Here's the wave; okay! Point the sails upwards a little!"
Then the monster went to strike again, Link fired the arrows straight into the monsters throught; one ice arrow, one light arrow.
The Octo roared in pain as inky black fluid seeped from its mouth.
Then, as Link had predicted the wind from the Octo hit the sails, and the wave from its tentacle picked the ship up just as Link had thought.
"Link what's happening?" Tetra yelled holding on for dear life.
"If we hit the wind and wave just right we'll land at Merking Isle!"
"What happens if we didn't?"
"We end up hopelessly lost in the ocean."
"What?! Link!" Tetra yelled as they flew in the air. ****************************************************************
"Aryll?" Link called softly, "Are you in here?"
"Y-yes." Aryll said choking back her tears.
"Why are you crying? We beat the monster."
"T-that's not why."
"Why?"
"You yelled at me!" Aryll cried.
"Aryll, don't cry, I just- and the monster- and the men overboard- I-I-I'm sorry Aryll."
"Do you really mean it?" Aryll whimpered as she looked up at Link.
"Of course I do! You are my favorite sister aren't you?"
"I'm your only sister."
"And I wouldn't have it any other way." Link said hugging his sister,
"Now... why were you hiding in that bag?"
"Well I was outside playing around, when I heard Stergeon talking to a Merman!"
"Uh-huh and..."
"Well I got all excited and ran into the ship, under Tetra's bed."
"Uh-huh"
"And I found this blue flute thingie, I don't know what it is."
"Blue flute? Tetra has a flute? News to me."
"Well I played it, and I'm really good at it!"
"You are?"
"Uh-huh! Want me to play for you?"
"I think we'd better ask ms. Tetra first; it is her flute after all."
"Hey, you guys what's up!" Tetra said cheerily to Link and Aryll. walking in the door."
"Well your cheery for a person who was spazing out a minute ago." L;ink grinned.
"Actually Link, I'm terrified, but let's not get into that; so how's my favorite little girl?"
"Just fine ms. Tetra!" Aryll said in a mock-sailor voice.
"Oh, can I play your flute for Link, and you?"
"Blue flute?" Tetra said weakly.
Then Aryll showed her he flute.
"The legendary ocarina!" Tetra whispered.
"Where'd you find it?"
"Under your bed, in a secret floor panel I bumped open."
Then Tetra hugged Aryll really hard.
"Thank you! Oh I just can't say how happy I am you found this!"
"Ookay, can I play it?"
"Sure." Tetra said happily.
"Here' goes!"
Then Aryll sang Zelda's lullaby, like she's known it forever.
"My mother used to sing me to sleep with that song, on that ocarina." Tetra said wiping a tear off her eye.
And then the ship shook tremendously.
"What happened?" Link said bursting outside.
"Octo? Waterspout? Tidal wave? High wind?" Tetra started.
"No, but your close." Gonzo said getting up."We've landed."
"Nothing but, small islands and choppy sea all the way to Merking Isle."
"Hey Link, shouldn't you be checking the map for king Octoroks on the map?"
"Okaaay." Link said with a sigh, no break for him today. "Nothing, but that uncharted island in front of us worries me right now, Tetra."
