Chapter 3: Suit up...and Head Out!
I was getting my gear ready that night after i talked to my General. After the battle, I didn't have much left. The Kokiri took everything I had. My armor, my horse, even the sword off my back. I lost it all. I only had an old, cheap sword, probably made out of wood. A nimble blade, but not powerful at all. I also had 100 rupees. Too bad it was only enough for a shield and some supplies. As I walked out to go into the Market, I noticed how things have changed since Onox arrived. There were more bar fights than I ever heard possible in my life. Soldiers were rampant, both Hylians and Sheikah, doing whatever they wanted, looting, vandalism, grand theft carriage, only to name a few. If I had my equipment back, I'd fight them to make sure they stopped. But right now...I'd be torn to shreds with only a wooden sword. I had to watch everything happen. If only they knew...
No they wouldn't care and I shouldn't. What's past is past. Even though I wish, I can't redo my life. Tis sad for me, but I have to go on. My only goal is to end this madness, even if it takes me 1000 years, even if I die, I will end this! Thoughts aside, I came to the bazaar. With my military discount, I wanted to purchase a Hylian Shield. However, in the end, I just got mad.
"One Hylian Shield." I showed the shopkeep my military ID.
He looked it over, making sure it wasn't a fake, as many citizens have tried, and succeeded. "Very well sir, that would be 90 rupees."
"Are you SERIOUS? They only cost 80 without the discount!"
"Onox just raised the price to 100 rupees for them. Where the hell have you been? I can give you a wooden shield for 80 rupees, though."
"Fine, I guess
there's nothing else I can do."
I missed a lot when I was out
cold. They said prices changed last week due to Onox's orders. A
petty thing to be mad at, but it was still something. My time at the
food area was a lot easier, but left me with 2 rupees. I went back
home, packed up, and took one final rest.
I left the next day at 08:00. I took one good, long, final look at Hyrule before embarking on my journey, seeing as that could be my last. I headed out to the field, catching all the sights that I could. Lon Lon Ranch, or should I say the former Lon Lon Ranch, its ruins still showed its old heritage. As I walked further, I came to the area of Hyrule known as Blood Valley. This area marked the presence of the largest battle of the Great War, and of Hylian history, The Zora and Kokiri versus The Hylians and Sheikah. All 100,000 men died in that field, hence the name. Knowing that my father could've been there, I paid my respects and got out ASAP. That place, I swear it was haunted. About thirty minutes later, I came to the Deku neck of the forest. The tiny scrubs only had one ally: The Kokiri. Even though I was scared, I headed in, knowing that I'd need a lot of help in order to get back at Onox.
