Chapter 1: Arrow

We started are day early, at around 05:00. It began not at the mess hall or at the drill area, but a battle. The night before, General Onox told us that we would be attacking the Kokiri. The reason was not given. Being loyal to our leader, with fear of disobedience in our hearts we did everything he told us.

Now, you may think that the Kokiri aren't skilled in battle at all. That kind of thought would get a soldier killed. The Kokiri had the best archerers throughout all of Hyrule, which provides great defense versus their enemy infantry. However, the knights were equipped with chain mail, which provided a nice defense versus archerers and the fast, but almost unarmored, Kokiri infantry. Though they had speed, they didn't have good muscle, which meant that they were easily overpowered unless they were in groups.

Currently, the battle was in our slight favor. For every two Kokiri we killed, they killed one of ours. I, myself, had slain 6 soldiers and 2 archerers that day. Even though things were looking up, in truth, they weren't. All of those soldiers were just a raiding party. A ploy to distract us. All of a sudden, what looked like 40 archerers came up and started firing. Only 6 arrows missed. There were many more Hylians where that came from, but everyone, including the General, was shocked. Now it came time to strike. We all ran up ahead, killing everything in sight. No Kokiri behind us was alive. The fighting got fiercer. The field got bloodier. Dead Hylians and Kokiri started to cover every inch of the field. Then, it happened.

One archerer, who managed to escape all of the carnage, knocked an arrow and aimed it straight for Onox. I, being the only one to see it, changed my horse's course to go defend the General. The arrow missed Onox, but landed on my right arm. The pain...
Such horrible pain. I couldn't control my horse. Eventually, I fell out. My arm was a bloody mess. Trying to stop the blood from coming out, I had made my final mistake. Another arrow, from that same archerer, came and hit me in the gut. That was the last thing I saw, that arrow, before I blacked out.
