Chapter Eight
At Zora's Fountain, the Zora's were already training their army. "How many Zora's have signed up so far Commander?" The head Zora, Lord Midoto, thought he was so cleaver because he had already thought up military names for everyone. His only son, Isuke (is-oo- kay), was getting really annoyed at him lately because he had gotten all power-happy since King Zora's death. "Three hundred and fifty-two, sir," The commander replied. "Excellent. Where is my son?" Midoto asked. "He went out to Lake Hylia."
-------------------------
Isuke had already gathered up the Zoras that were staying in Lake Hylia, and was briefing them on the situation. "We've never had to do this before. Not many of us have ever seen real combat, but if you all stick to your training seriously, we will be able to make the greatest army ever!!"
Everyone cheered loudly, and then dived under water, making their way through the underground water tunnel that lead right into Zora's Domain.
Isuke smiled. Those men had never fought before, but they were warriors. He knew they would stand up to any army they faced. Isuke was a pretty tall Zora for the age 16, and had a long head fin and some red in the normally blue and white skin of a Zora.
Suddenly he felt like something dangerous was behind him and he dived underwater, just in time before three darts went flying over him.
Maneuvering quickly through the water, he swam to the side then downwards, and kicking off the bottom of the lake he shot out of the water, blindly throwing his fins out at whatever was attacking him. Two shadowy figures jumped out of the way and threw a few other darts at him, this time bigger ones. Still airborne, the young Zora clenched his fists and a wall of blue magic flamed up around him, making the darts disintegrate as soon as they hit. He landed softly on the ground, just as his fins swept back around and clung to his arms.
"Who are you?! Why are you attacking me?!" Isuke demanded. The two shadows didn't answer; they only drew their short katanas and charged at him. Isuke didn't have a clue who they were but he knew it was either him or them. And he didn't feel like dieing today.
Without hesitating, he put his hardened fin up and blocked a slash from one, then slashed with his other fin at the shadow coming from his left, but it blocked and kicked him in his stomach. Isuke was knocked away by that attack but quickly turned it into a back-flip and landed on his feet. Okay, this wasn't going to work; he had to get them into the water where he was more agile. One of the shadowish humanoid creatures charged towards him. Isuke jumped up, grabbing it by the shoulders and throwing it into the lake, then flipped while he was still in the air and kicked the other shadow in the back, knocking him into the lake.
Without waiting another moment, Isuke dived into the water with his arms spread out, his fins slashing through the shadows' chests. They gave a cry of pain but started following him almost instantly. The Zora smiled. They didn't stand a chance. He stopped in his tracks, letting the shadows speed past him, and released his fins at them. They swung through the water and sliced through the under arm of each shadow. They shrieked in pain, and swam right up to them, slammed their heads together, cracking their skulls. And with a double blow to the neck, he finished them off.
Giving out a sigh, he finally got a good look at them. They had silverish clothes on...and had a symbol of an eye with a red tear...
----------------- -----
Tossing his shield from his arm, Link sent it strait into the head of the last of the Sheikah that had attacked him, knocking him to the ground. They all stood up again, each of them with a good amount of gashes and other wounds on them. Link grinned and held the Master Sword with both his hands, getting in Kai-Ten-Giri stance.
Without a word, they all crossed their arms and disappeared with a bright flash. The Hero of Time sighed and picked up his shield, muttering; "Cowards." He wiped the dripping blood off his sword onto the grass and slid it back into the blue and gold scabbard. A cold wind suddenly blew through Hyrule Field.
Link sighed, closing his eyes as the wind swept through his hair. There was something about this wind... something pure, untainted. But something else, something sinister in the air that was even closer...
---------------- -----
"Please Mother! Let me to leave! I wish to help the Hylian people. This opponent is nothing like the Gerudos, the Hero of Time needs my help."
"You cannot go. If you leave, you will become a mortal until you return. Something may happen to you...I can't let you, Zara."
"I refuse to hide here in this sanctuary while the people we are supposed to help are dieing. What are we doing to help them?!" Yelled the blue haired young fairy.
"We serve the Hero of Time. He will come to us when he needs assistance. We can do NOTHING else."
"I can. And I will," said Zara, turning and starting to walk out.
"ZARA! If you leave, the elder fairies may not allow you to come back." "........I will not sit and watch while these people suffer." She turned and walked away.
----------------- ---
It was dark, and as Link rode he saw a great light coming from Lon-Lon Ranch as well as black smoke rising high into the sky. "Lon-Lon Ranch is on fire?!" The green clad hero was about to make Epona go into full sprint when he realized that there were two Sheikah standing at the front entrance and some on the upper fence. He was sure there was more guarding other areas too.
"I hope Malon left in time..."
Either way, he wanted to find out what was going on in there. He rode as close as he thought he could get away with and dismounted, telling Epona to stay put. He grabbed his quiver and tied it around his waist, then took his bow and readied an arrow. "Darn...only five arrows. Hopefully I won't have to use them though." There had to be something big going on in there if there were Sheikah guarding the place.
He hated traveling heavy but he needed to be prepared. Link opened the sack on Epona's saddle. Nothing. Link cursed himself. He hadn't stocked up on any weapons, the only other thing he had was the Hookshot Dampe had given him before he died... it'd have to do. He stuck it into his scabbard strap then put his hand back on the string of the bow, and slowly crept through the bushes towards the ranch.
When he got close enough he held out his Hookshot and let the chain fly into the chimney. It connected and pulled him up to the roof with a little thud, but it was loud enough to attract the attention of the guards. Link quickly slid down the roof, onto the ground and rolled behind a crate. Right now he was thankful for all the stealth training he had done with the Gerudos.
He peeked around then slipped out and got closer to fire. It was like a massive bon fire and all the Sheikah were sitting around it, and three Sheikah women were doing what looked like a type of ceremonial dance. He looked closer and saw someone on a wooden platform, and on the other side of the fire, was a massive statue of a beast-like creature with his mouth open, fangs showing, and its claws up. It was the strangest looking thing, and Link couldn't have even described it. 'That person...it's ...it's.... Ingo! No...they....killed him...'
Link watched in horror as two men picked up the body and threw it into the fire. It burst into flames instantly and the whole fire turned bigger, but this time it was blue. The body faded into a red energy and floated up into the statue. 'What in the name of the goddesses is going on...?' The fire just disappeared like a candle being blown out and everyone stood.
Time for Link to leave.
-----------------------
Malon raced down the bridge that went strait into Kokiri Forest, but was knocked back by an invisible barrier. She quickly got up and desperately pounded on the barrier, yelling, "Help me! Please let me in!!" After much pounding, Mido showed his freckled face and slowly walked to the barrier.
"Malon! It's just you..."
"Quick! You have to let me in! Those people! Those people are trying to kill me!!"
"A-alright."
He ran away then came back a few seconds later. "It's down." Malon walked up to Mido. "Thank you," She grinned.

This chappy was fun to do. But I'm gonna have a lot more fun doing the stealth mission Link's gonna do, heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. *cough* Anywayz, I also edited a few chapters a little cuz I realized there was a lot of inconsistencies, AND I changed the part where Link leaves Malon. Sorry to the peeps who liked the old one ^^; And sorry about the errors I've made too, I'm gonna try and get on top of all that stuff. If you see any inconsistencies I missed, please tell meh.
