I'm very thrilled people liked the first chapter.
So, here's the second one for ya!
I don't own Zelda. (WAAAAHHHHH! I DON'T OWN ANYTHING, I'M SO POOR!)
Heh heh, Link POV and such like.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Link woke to find himself feeling much better. He tried standing, and to his
pleasure found it easy. Walking was fine as well. As he practiced, the woman stuck her
head in. "Ah, good. You've woken at last." She walked in. "Feeling better, Link?" "How
do you know my name?" "I was listening as you spoke with Ganondorf. My apologies, but I am
a bodyguard. I have to know what is happening to my boss at all times." She gave Link a
firm handshake. "My name is Neela." "Where is Ganondorf?" Link looked around. "He's in
his tent. No offense, but I think you need to freshen up before you go anywhere." Neela
held her nose. "The bath is behind that partition." Link found the water pleasantly hot.
He rubbed the soap in his hair as Neela, eyes averted, grabbed his dirty things and left a
towel with the fresh ones. They fit nicely. Link carefully wiped his cut with the towel
before letting Neela put on a bandage. "Are you like my nurse or something?" Link asked.
"Hey, I'm just doing this as a friend. You're washing your own clothes." The two of them
donned heavy cloaks before leaving the tent. Outside, it was still very cold. The camp was
a maze of tents, horses, and women. "Are there any men here?" Link asked Neela. She
laughed before she said, "Of course not! Gerudo's are all female! Well, men like Ganondorf
are born once a century, but other than that it's just us girls!" Link almost missed a
step. He had heard the word 'Gerudo' from somewhere before.
When they finally found Ganondorf's tent, he was just walking out. "Ah, Link! I
was just going to check on you. I see Neela cleaned you up?" Neela stuck out her tongue.
"He's a grown boy, and can wash himself!" Ganondorf laughed. Link laughed too, though he
wasn't sure what was so funny. "Well then, you may as well come with me. Since you're up,
we're going to move the camp today." Ganondorf lead them to a fenced area that had a couple
Gerudo's brushing down horses. Ganondorf shouted orders in a language Link didn't
recognize. The busy camp whipped into a frenzy as the tents were packed up. Over by the
paddock, there was a big commotion. One horse, a beautiful dappled gray stallion with a
pure black mane and pure white tail, was running and whinnying at the top of his lungs.
"His mother mated with a wild horse, and we haven't been able to find him a rider. He
doesn't trust anyone near him," Ganondorf explained as he helped a fallen Gerudo up. The
stallion jumped the fence, scattering people left and right. The horse dashed right up to
them before rearing and screaming in Link's face. They stood still, staring each other down
for a full minute. Link cautiously held his hand out, palm up and open, to the horse. He
sniffed it for a moment, then lay his head on it. With that, Link calmly patted the
stallion. "I think he likes me," Link said. "Guess those girls are too scary for you, huh
fella?" The horse whinnied, and gently nudged Link to the saddle on his back. Link mounted
fearlessly, and saw Ganondorf's mouth hanging open. "Well then…" he said, "I suppose he's
yours." Link felt a shy smile cross his features.
The Gerudo's camp moved quickly down the trail. Link was still on his horse, who
he'd named Juniper. Next to him was Ganondorf on his own stallion Thunder. As they
traveled, Ganondorf had given him a brief description of his life. He was the traditionally
appointed leader of the Gerudo race, but after the death of his wife Ganondorf had sunk into
evil. He'd been locked away, but after realizing his mistakes and repenting he had been
freed. That was when he met up with the small group of Gerudo banished for continuing to
follow him. They had gladly named him leader, and he ruled with a kind but firm hand. They
had to move a lot, because no one else believed he had reformed and the band was viewed as a
threat and attacked often. Link mentioned he though he recognized the first part. "Do you
think I heard it from somewhere?" Link asked. Ganondorf's expression changed as he said,
"The thing is…you were there." "I was?" "Yes. Actually, you fought against me, and used the
Master Sword to help me be banished. If you want to resume hating me now I will certainly
understand." Link closed his eyes and rubbed his head in frustration. "I don't really
remember any of it. If I did hate you…that has nothing to do with now." "I hope you will
judge me for what I am now, not what I did then, when you remember." Ganondorf had been very
solemn, then changed the subject. The talk had trailed off, leaving Link to wrestle with
his own thoughts. Ganondorf didn't seem too evil now, but what of the past? By the time
they made camp, Link's head hurt for reasons other than his injury. He tried to sleep but
had the strangest dream…
