I recently got a review telling me that my story is not long enough, and that I should improve the length and detail. My answer? Maybe later. Firstly, the majority of these were written PRE-me joining , and they were not really that long. Look for more length coming around late in the first section, around Chapter 17, where things start to get a lot darker.
Also, I like how people are saying how they like that this is not like return of Ganondorf or any Linkx… romance fics and stuff. Well, surprise, there WILL be a sequel to this, which will be the final in a part of three (As mentioned in my profile, Origin of a Shadow Queen is the prequel, but I'm choosing to take a long hiatus from it, then revamp it later.)
Journal Log: Entry 1:
THESE WOODS ARE DRIVING ME INSANE! Mile after infinite mile, all you see are the same trees, Hylian Conifers. And, to make matters worse, my guide put me in SHACKLES! Of all the things a guide can do, this is the worst. I can't reach my sword or shield. We don't even take any breaks. All we do is walk around. Now I'm starting to think he has no clue where we're going.
"Only 5 more miles left!" It was like I was speaking to a demon from Hell. Always happy about the worst things…
"ONLY?!?!"
"Oh, your civilization can't fly?" Damn him and damn his flying ability.
Four Miles Later:
We encountered Deku Scrub traitors. Coorae called them "Mad Scrubs", which were traitors to there own kind. I tried to slash them in half, but they just went back into there holes. They then double-teamed me, knocking me down to the cold forest floor.
"I'll take care of this. Strike when I'm done" I thought he'd just leave me to rot, but I guess he couldn't under orders of the King. Heh…
Coorae stuffed 2 seeds in his mouth and shot them out like a cannon. They hit and automatically knocked them out. This gave me the perfect chance to slice them in half, which I did.
"Forest creatures are weird…" Man, would I pay for saying that.
"I HEARD THAT!"
Coorae stuck a nice large seed in his mouth. Needless to say it hit. I didn't say a thing for about a mile, when we got to the place where said beast was supposed to be laying. It looked empty, except for the Deku Princess.
"Princess, we've come to save you! I'm Ev…"
"Shut up! He'll here you." Thinking that she was delusional, I wanted to have a little fun
"Heh, wow, who could it possibly be? I see no one here. Oh, is it that big, scary leaf?! Or maybe some of that dirt over there?" Big mistake.
All of a sudden, a cute, little Deku Scrub came out.
"Oh no..." I originally saw no reason to panic. After all, it was kind of cuddly.
"What's all the fuss about? It's pretty cute. Reminds me of Ches…"
Suddenly, that lil' Deku Scrub became a Giant that the Goddesses shouldn't have left to walk the Earth.
"RUN AWAY!" Coorae and I both shouted in unison.
Unfortunately, there was a large iron gate behind us, so we were stuck. Coorae couldn't come back without the Princess of myself without a logical reason, otherwise he'd literally become firewood.
"Well, how do we kill this thing?! I mean, you ARE a dweller of the woods."
"You're the knight! You tell me." Oh, how I hated forest things!
I thought, and thought for a while. It seemed hopeless. After all, it was built as if it didn't have any weakness, and it would be relatively tough to beat it since I didn't have any access to fire. I thought it was impossible, until I noticed a tail.
"Coorae, keep attacking it to distract it. I'll subdue it!"
"I don't take orders from any Hylian! But since it'll save me…"
As Coorae served as the punching bag, I snuck up behind the monster and whacked his tail a bit with my sword. It whimpered, shrunk back to normal, and hid in the cave.
"That was awfully easy…are you sure he's dead quite yet? Maybe we should go try to finish him off." I was worried, just not too worried. We did what he had to do, but I'm not quite sure if everything was finished quite yet.
Coorae pondered, and then responded, "Hmm…well, you are right. We probably should sla…
"Just GET ME DOWN from this ROPE!"
"Yyyy…yes, madam!" Coorae didn't want to deal with the wrath of the king's daughter. It could mean his head.
Both Coorae and I did as she told and untied her. We then walked back to the palace, with Coorae carrying the Princess and me still in shackles.
