Maku: and then there was three.
Link: come on! We got to stay on their heels!
They were chasing the army of nomads that was chasing another army of nomads that had captured their friend. This resulted in a giant race towards the safety of the hills, A massive scramble of hundreds of people as they clambered to get over a field of rocks before the others. The results were, needless to say chaotic. Link, Maku and Drom darted in between giant boulders trying to catch up with the mob. Finally the armies reached the mountainside the results were hundreds of people fighting to be the first to climb to the top of the slope and reach the caves. The hillside was made of extremely lose rocks and climbing it was deceptively difficult especially being in the back because if you were in the back the people in front of you send a shower of rocks down upon you. Link and the others tried to cover their faces as they slowly made their way up the hill.
Drom: they are going to start a rockslide!
Just as he said this the rocks up ahead all began to slide downward taking most of the soldiers with it. They began to slide all the way down the hill.
Maku: we will be swept with them!
Link: behind this!
They scrambled to hide behind a large rock that was sticking out of the hill and made a nice shelter. Drom slipped on his way there and hit the rocks hard.
Drom: go on without me! I'll stay down here! I'll try and hold them for as long as I can!
As he said this the huge avalanche of people and rocks came past them and swept Drom away in it. The giant avalanche came to a stop at the bottom of the hill in a giant pile, leaving only a handful of people still trying to make it to the top. Suddenly someone did reach the top. It was someone from the defending army. He grabbed a large horn and blew into it. The low sounding horn echoed all through the valley. Very soon after the horn had went off, another army could be seen coming out from the opposite hill.
Link: it's an allied army. They are calling reinforcements! We have to get Treom before this place turns into a gigantic battlefield.
The people at the bottom off the hill had gotten up and had begun attacking each other. Maku and Link ran up the hill as fast as they could. The couple people that had reached the top ran to seek shelter inside the caves. Soon Link and Maku had made it as well and looked down upon the pointless battling that was taking place before them.
Maku: I hope Drom is okay down there. Link: in here!
They darted inside the nearest cave opening. They found them selves in a large chamber that was lit by many fires and had only a few scattered possessions.
Link: these must be their homes. We'll split up search all the caves on the hill.
Maku and Link drew their blades and headed off in two different directions. Link carefully stepped over giant rocks that were in his way. If he fell, hitting the rocks could kill him. After searching most of the lower caves and finding nothing in them he reasoned that Treom had been taken higher up the foothill. He ran up to a large 180-degree rock wall. He put his foot on a rock that was sticking out of the cliff and he slowly began to scale the rock. He took his time, careful to find a good foothold before moving on. He looked down to see that he they had climbed several hundred feet off the ground. It was to late to turn back now. He looked over at his side and saw Maku was also scaling the rock wall, but since Maku had lived his whole life in Zoras domain he was very good at climbing, as were all the Zoras in the Domain. He was quickly climbing the wall like a spider.
Maku: see you at the top Link.
Link watched as Maku easily passed him and continued to climb to the top. Suddenly an arrow struck a section of wall next to Link. He looked down to see that some of the nomads were firing arrows at him. Link hurried his attempt at climbing the wall. He finally managed to make it to the top. He looked back over the edge and saw that the nomads were now climbing the wall themselves. Link looked around and saw that he was standing on a small piece land that was on the side of the mountain and held the entrances to three caves. Maku was not there. Link rushed into the cave on the left. Nothing. He ran back out and went into the cave in the middle. This time he found Treom. It appeared that Treom had escaped his captors and was now in the middle of the room brandishing a spear. Several soldiers that were trying to get close to him without being touched by the spear surrounded him. Link charged the nearest soldier and stabbed him in the back. He quickly pulled his sword out of his foes back and cut down two more of the barbaric men before anyone realized what was happening. The soldiers turned their attention to Link but this gave Treom just the opportunity Treom was looking for to stab the closest one in the leg. The man gave a howl of pain and the men returned their attention to Treom. Link cut down two of them from behind. The nomads split into two groups. One group attacked Link while the other tried to capture Treom. Link threw a blow at the nearest guard but it was blocked by the guard's own sword. He was tackled from the side and hit the ground hard. Links sword went flying across the room and skidded across the floor. Both Link and one of the soldiers launched themselves at the weapon and began wrestling for control of the sword. Link was losing his grip on the sword when Treom jumped the enemies back and began choking him. The man let go of the sword, to try and get Treom off of him. But Link seized the sword and sank his sword into the man. He got back up and cut down another charging soldier. There were only four guards left. One of them grabbed his bow and arrow and aimed it Link. But Treom took one of his spears and threw it with extreme skill, going through the archer's heart. The remaining soldiers did not dare fight them. Instead they made a retreat and ran out the cave.
Treom: thanks for the rescue.
Link: come on we got to find Maku and Drom and get out of here.
Treom: what about Ralph?
Link: who cares?
The two companions retrieved their weapons and ran back outside. When they came outside they saw the three guards that had escaped. One of them had Maku in a chokehold around the neck and was pointing a switchblade at Maku's head. Behind them the nomads that had been chasing Link finally made it to the top and got up to join their friends.
Treom: how are we going to get out of this one?
One of the men indicated to Link and Treom to put down their weapons. They both obediently threw their weapons on the ground and put their hands up. Four of the men walked up to them to take them prisoner. Suddenly behind the soldiers Link saw Drom climb up over the wall with Ralph in tow they snuck up behind the soldiers and killed several of them before the others realized they were there. Link used the diversion to punch one of his captors in the face. Treom kicked one of the others and together they knocked out the four of them before retrieving their weapons. This left Drom, Ralph, Link, Treom and Maku the only ones left on the cliff.
Drom: I was in a tight spot down there.
Ralph: and I came in to save the day.
Ralph gave Link a look that said "now who's the hero?"
Drom: then we saw you guys climbing that cliff and that you were being chased so we came as fast as we could.
Link: well good. Now we're all here.
Ralph: no not the horses.
Link: they will find their way.
Link flashed his ocarina.
Maku: it's going to be hard to climb down.
Link: no. We'll just head down the other side of the hill. It isn't nearly as steep and we won't need to worry about the clan's fighting. We will just take a little detour.
And so the group began making their way off the mountain.
