Chapter three

Sunlight spilled over the land of Hyrule as the sun rose from the mountains. It seemed so peaceful for everybody, except the fact, people were dying and having little battles throughout the land.

Ander awoke to a wet tongue licking him on his face. He opened his eyes lazily to see a big black nose staring him in the eye.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAah!" Ander screamed in shock.

"What is it!?" Strophe said urgently as he jumped down from a tree nearby and ran over to see a wolfos licking Ander happily. Strophe laughed at the sight and walked over slowly.

"Ah! It's killing me!!" Ander screamed frightfully as the dog continued to lick his face, "Get it off!! Get it off! I'm a dead man!"

"Tycoon! Sit boy!" a voice yelled. A man ran over to the wolfos and grabbed its collar, "I've been lookin' all over for ya." The man was tall, 6 feet maybe, in his twenties no doubt. He had short blond hair, parted in the middle, and had long sideburns that ran into a very, very, very small beard. A long black coat hung over his shoulders, shielding most of his body. He wore a baggy green shirt and a red scarf that was tightly tied around his waist. Long black, lose pants hung from his hips and folded into big, brown, baggy boots. His eyes were very pale yet a deep blue and he had tanned skin and scars covering his face.

"I'm sorry, sir, he didn't hurt you in anyway, did he? He's tame, so he wont hurt anyone unless it's under my command," The man said pulling the mutt closer to his feet, "My name is Kiri." He held out a tanned, scarred hand to Anders nose as he stared in bewilderment at the stranger, "This is Tycoon," said Kiri introducing the wolfos, "It's weird though, he doesn't normally run off like that...He must've been attracted to your smell or something."

"Who the Hell are you?" Ander announced rudely catching only the last statement of the man.

"Pardon, I already said my name. I'm Kiri."

"Oh," Ander exclaimed stupidly. Why don't I ever pay attention to people? He wondered as he grabbed the man's hand and shook it violently.

"No, I was trying to help you up!" Kiri giggled softly as Ander still shook it.

"Oh," Ander's face flushed to scarlet red as he was pulled up by the man's hand. Kiri looked suspiciously at the silver gleaming ring on Ander's forefinger as he helped him up.

"W-wait!" Strophe cut in, "You look familiar."

Kiri turned his attention to Strophe and let Tycoon's collar go. The fire in Strophe's silver eyes were leaping again. But in Kiri's eyes, the deep blueness seemed to pierce through Strophe's heart. Ander stared in confusion at the two, as an invisible fire was raging in between the silent war. Tycoon sniffed Ander's feet noisily as the silence passed throughout the area.

Kiri broke the silence first, "Well, well well, if it isn't the old pain in the ass, returning from all hiding points to mingle and play with the insiders. Or in your case, the outsiders," he said harshly, "Who are you parading to kill this time. A defenseless young boy! I thought you had learnt your lesson after you killed the last one. A Goron, I recon, a defenseless young Goron. And the first thing you did was put him up against a dragon! A dragon! By all means, why a dragon?! The first thing the dragon did was gobble him up without a worry or two," He spat on the ground in front of Strophe, "You're despicable!"

"Well, at least I never ran away from my fate! I stayed to do my job! You, on the other hand, ran like there was no tomorrow!" Strophe was turning red.

"I did not run away! I just didn't like the idea of killing people and corrupting their minds! Nor do I like the idea of hiding and wearing a mask twenty-four, seven!"

Ander stared dumbfounded at the two, not a clue of what they were talking about. Tycoon was now running around chasing small animals.

"Leave! You are no longer wanted in these lands! You never were! Your past as an orphan was horrible! No one wanted you here!" Strophe hissed back, glaring at Kiri.

"Never bring up my past, 'cause you know nothing of it!" Kiri was really mad now, "And I wont let you kill this boy!"

Within a second, Strophe was beside Kiri, pointing a sharp dagger at his throat, "I want you to leave. I don't care what happens, I'll kill you one day anyway, just leave. This boy is in my hands."

"Then you send him to his grave."

Strophe thrusted the dagger harder against Kiri's throught, "Not another word, or I kill you now!"

A silence passed for a couple minutes as no one moved. Kiri opened his mouth to speak, but he noticed Strophes eyes were twitching angrily. The dagger gleamed in the sunlight as it pressed against Kiri's throat.

The so before amused Tycoon now growled harshly as he jumped through the air and bit Strophe right in the butt.

"YEOOOW!! Darn mutt!" He yelled has he struggled to get loose of the dogs bite.

In a flash, Kiri had Strophe in a tight headlock, pointing a long scabbard at his gut, "The tables have turned, bastard!" Kiri looked at Tycoon and said something in ancient Hylian. The wolfos dropped from Strophe butt, and sat down in front of him, growling and snarling angrily.

"A good wolfos, he is. It takes barely anything for him to realize his master is in danger. Wow, you could use one, Strophe. Oh, wait, you would kill it, knowing the brute you are," Kiri mocked savagely.

"Just let me go, you son of a bitch!"

Kiri's eyes twinkled, "Well, now it's my turn. I want you to leave this kid to me. I want you to leave, and never return. And I would take you on any day and beat the crap outta you. But I'll save that for later. Right now, go back to your master, and tell him all that happened now. And tell him I don't care if he knows where I am, because it won't matter. I've beaten him and I'm not afraid to do it again. In fact, I'm happy that he'll know that I know that he knows because I know that he will likely try and come after me. Tell him, too, that I know his true identity and that he should be scared," Kiri laughed insanely and smiled impishly, "Now go!"

Kiri sheathed the scabbard and threw Strophe to the ground.

"I'll be back for the boy, and I'll cut your throat will I'm at it!" Strophe grumbled before he threw a deku nut to the ground and disappeared.
