CHAPTER TWO
Yaphet charged, his dirk hitting a Stalfo. Link took a bomb from his bomb- bag and waited for a few seconds, then tossed it at the Stalfo. The Stalfo exploded in a shower of bones. The club went flying and slapped a Moblin. Yaphet leapt at the jumping skull, his dirk flying in every direction.
"Watch out, kid!" Link shouted as he slew a Wizzrobe with his arrows. Yaphet turned around and ducked away from the attacking Blue Bubble. It gave the renowned "Gaaayaaayaya!" of the Bubbles and headed towards Link. Link raised his shield, blocking the attack. Taking out his Deku Leaf, he pushed the wind to the Blue Bubble, making the blue flame go out. He slashed at the skull, breaking the bone.
Yaphet stabbed a Moblin in the eye and blood gushed forth. The wounded monster threw its lantern at Yaphet blindly. The boy got singed by the fire. As Yaphet tried to beat out the fire, a ReDead leapt upon him, bit into his neck, and began draining the life out of him. His knees buckled and he began to fall to the ground. Link spotted this and pulled out his boomerang. He hit the ReDead with it, stabbed at a Bokoblin who was about to hit him with a Deku Stick, rammed the boomerang into the ReDead, slew the Bokoblin, and then pulled out his bombs. He lit one and threw it at the ReDead. It hit the ReDead and exploded immediately. The ReDead fell to the ground and, after a few seconds, exploded in a puff of purple.
As Link battled with an airborne Mothula and struggled to get Morths off of him, a Darknut approached the injured Yaphet, who was gasping for breath. With a grunt, the Darknut swung his sword up and brought it down on Yaphet. Yaphet crumpled onto the ground, gasping for what he thought were his final breaths.
Link saw this and threw a bottled-up faerie at Yaphet. The bottle shattered and the faerie flew out, surrounded Yaphet and healing him. Yaphet jumped up, a little woozy, and chopped off the head of a Kargorok that was flying at him. Blood poured from the neck as the body fell, splattering Yaphet. He shook the blood from his hair and charged at a yellow Chuchu. Big mistake.
"Don't!" yelped Link as he fired an arrow at a Wizzrobe. He pumped an arm as the Wizzrobe gave a squawk.
As soon as the dirk blade touched the Chuchu, Yaphet got zapped. He got thrown backwards, electrocuted. Link aimed an arrow at the Chuchu and then hit the Wizzrobe again. He grabbed his boomerang and continued to hit the Chuchu until his was right next to it. He then slashed the Chuchu and it died.
Yaphet got up, gasping. Link handed him the boomerang as he helped him get up. "Take the boomerang, it will help you."
Link and Yaphet turned to the mass of enemies, the sword and dirk raised.
"I have a feeling that I will need my potions and faeries," Link whispered, "and I will need the very soon."
"Save a faerie for me, mate."
Suddenly, a voice called out, "LINK! Catch!"
Link's hand shot in the air as a bottle flew. He caught it and laughed. Uncorking the bottle, he drank the half of the contents. It was his Grandmother's Elixir Soup! His sword glowed brightly and he handed the rest of the bottle to Yaphet. "Drink it when you need it, kid! Let's go!" Taking a deep breath, filled with the warmth of the soup, Link yelled, "Chaaaaaaaaaarge!"
He and Yaphet charged at the enemies. Link cut down Keese and Kargoroks, using his sword and bow, of course. Soon, blood was splattering the ground, and a faerie soon was used by Link. Yaphet tackled the Boko Babas. He was about to finish off the last one when it swallowed him! Link sliced down the plant and Yaphet crawled out.
A huge wave of Chuchus surrounded them. Yaphet took out most of the normal ones, but the Electric and Dark ones where too hard. Link knew that he had to do something to kill the Dark Chuchus, but what?
"We have to kill them!" Yaphet cried, throwing the boomerang at a blue Chuchu. It froze and Link jumped on it, but two yellow Chuchus and a Dark Chuchu got in the way, shocking Link. He was thrown backwards. He shakily got up and drew his Skull Hammer.
"Gaaayaaayayayaaa!"
The Blue Bubble knocked Yaphet to the ground. As he tried to draw his dirk from his belt, something seemed to stop him. The Blue Bubble flew at Yaphet again, but Link used his Deku Leaf to stun him. He smashed the skull and some Chuchus that had been frozen. He then used his Skull Hammer to pound the ground and he froze the Chuchus. Link and Yaphet, after the Blue Bubble's curse was gone, began to slash and hack at the Chuchus. The Dark Chuchus were not slain, for you need to shine light on these monsters to kill them, but most of the other Chuchus died.
Link then had an idea. He grunted to Yaphet, "I'll be back in a minute!" and pushed his way through the mass of Chuchus.
"Wait! Where're you going?" yelled Yaphet. "Boyo!"
Link shook his head and sheathed his sword. He kept out his Mirror Shield and climbed to the top of the Windmill. There he met a horde of Keese. He slew them and a Moblin and used his Mirror Shield to reflect the light from the Windmill onto the Dark Chuchus. He then used his Deku Leaf to soar over to the great battle scene and began throwing the stone Chuchus.
Link used the same method to get rid of the Poes. Now all that were left were Moblins, Miniblins, Bokoblins, Wizzrobes, some harmless Morths, and the Darknuts. The Darknuts had not ventured into battle, and Link was glad of this. Darknuts had always been a weakness of his.
Link tackled the Wizzrobes first, using his arrows to slay them. While Link did this Yaphet collected the Morths and did a Spin Attack. That gave Link an idea.
Link powered up his Spin Attack. The enemies gathered in close to come to an attack, and...
Link let go of the attack and hit the Moblins, Miniblins, and Bokoblins. Blood fell to the ground. Link felt warm blood fall in his eyes and into his mouth as he got hit by a machete. Tridents poked him in the chest and the back as a spear swept him off of his feet. "Duh-dink duh-dink."
Link got up, spat out blood, and held himself in a fighting stance. He leered at the oncoming half a score of Bokoblins.
"C'mon. Give me your best shot, wimps," he taunted.
The Bokoblins edged closer to Link. Yaphet stood beside Link and threw out a fresh insult.
"Yah, tatty freaks. Whatssamatter? Afraid of a little dirk and some ole sword? Yah hah, c'mon, give us all you got!" The Bokoblins gave a cackle and then there was a loud CRACK! A Moblin had cracked Yaphet over the head with its spear pole.
Link was alone yet again, just he, the Hero of Wind, against an endless wave of enemies. He raised his sword, ready to die. He heard a harsh cry from a raven, and his stomach cringed. The raven was the bird of death. Link moved Yaphet's motionless body out of the way and got ready to hear the sound of metal against metal, screams, grunts, and yells. Instead, he heard a strange war cry:
"Killem! Slayyem! Deeeeeeeeeaath!"
Before he knew it, a blade was carving into the Moblins behind him. There was at least a dozen and a half. Feeling new energy inside of him, Link gave a laugh, drank his potion, and charged at the Bokoblins. They were startled by this, for they had been watching the newcomer, and two were cut down before they realized what was happened. Link was drenched with fresh blood but he felt like there was now hope. He heard a groan and Yaphet's dirk was soon slicing down Moblins and Bokoblins left and right.
Soon, all that was left were the Darknuts. There was a Mighty Darknut and nine other Darknuts. The newcomer ran at them, yelling its war cry. The Mighty Darknut and three other Darknuts began to chase after the newcomer as the newcomer backed away. Link and Yaphet grinned and then charged at the remaining six.
When the Darknuts had vanished and they had collected the Rupees and Link had stocked up on his arrows and bombs again, they turned to thank the newcomer. Link gave a gasp of surprise.
"You're...you're a girl!" She was indeed. Her pants were frayed at the bottom and there was blood on her clothing. Her shirt was torn at one sleeve. Her brown hair was at her earlobe and if she had been a bit younger she could have passed for a boy, but her body had changed too much for her to be a man.
"So?" snapped the girl. She brushed blood from her clothing and looked at Link and Yaphet. She was fourteen and a half, maybe even fifteen. She held out her right hand. Link shook it and then Yaphet shook it. She smiled. "My name is Bryn. Bryn the Changer."
"Changer? Why are you a, uh, 'changer'?" Yaphet asked curiously.
"'Cos I have a secret. I can change into different animals. I was the raven you heard, boyo." She looked at Link pointedly. "I suppose that you are going to try and challenge that by boasting that you are the Hero of Wind?"
"How did you know?" gasped Link. He wondered if this Bryn girl had been stalking him.
"I don't mean to brag, but I am also a Seer."
"That's a lot for one little girl," Yaphet grunted.
"I just took on three Darknuts and a Mighty Darknut!" yelled the Changer.
"True, true," muttered Link, rubbing the back of his neck. If he hadn't had his sights on Tetra he would have said that this girl was good-looking, almost cute.
The Seer smiled and tossed back her hair. "The boat was yours, aye?"
"Aye, 'tis mine," Link replied.
"Hmm..." Bryn paused and then looked up. "Well, we must be going."
"G-going? Going where?" yelped Yaphet loudly.
"Why else would you Outset Islanders be on Windfall? Oh, I recognize you Outsetters. You, Hero of Wind, with your emerald clothing. Only Outsetters wear those." Bryn rolled her eyes and began to walk towards the King of Red Lions.
"King, we got company!" Link yelled to his boat as he began to run. He went to the potion shop and filled up his bottles. He then came back to the King. The soul inside the boat smiled.
"Come, Link. The wind must be Northwest for this, Waker of Wind."
"Stop that," scowled Link. "That's what the Great Faeries call me." Link turned to Bryn and demanded, "Let me see your sword, girl."
Bryn drew the sword from her waist and handed it over to Link. The Hero gave a huge cry of surprise.
"What is it, Waker of the Wind?" asked the King anxiously.
"How did you get this sword?" spat Link, hugging it tight to his chest. "How did you get this?"
"Wh-why?" asked Bryn, looking scared. Link had turned into a demanding, mean boy, not anything like the Hero of Wind.
"Do you know what this sword is? Do you know what it does? This sword is..."
() Hahahahaha! In SUUUUSSSSPEEENNNNSSSSSE! No, not really. All of you probably know what this "mystery sword" is, anyways. Well, read and review. ()
Yaphet charged, his dirk hitting a Stalfo. Link took a bomb from his bomb- bag and waited for a few seconds, then tossed it at the Stalfo. The Stalfo exploded in a shower of bones. The club went flying and slapped a Moblin. Yaphet leapt at the jumping skull, his dirk flying in every direction.
