Naval Ace: Dang, I can never update this fast :p Just don't expect this fic
to be updated frequently, I have three other fics under construction and I
will update all three, at the same time, at least once every month. Its
getting harder and I have a lot of things to do. I'm only 13 geez.
Oh, most people won't expect the plot that I have already. There will be nice hints in this chapter though.
Chapter 4: A Warm Welcome
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]
It was nightfall now, and the moon slowly rose over the horizon. Fog was getting thicker and thicker by the minute. The ship continued to sail on course, although most of the crew was asleep. Gonzo was still up and steering the ship towards its proper destination. The other pirates were asleep below decks. Komali, Medli and Jack were asleep on crates. Tetra and Link were awake and in the crow's nest. They were using their telescopes to make sure they would spot the land before they accidentally ran into it. It wasn't much help though, because the fog prevented seeing anything for a distance.
"You see anything Link?" Tetra asked.
"Not a lot," Link replied.
"The fog is getting heavier," Tetra noted. "We might have to stop and anchor for the night if it gets worse."
"Well that's a problem," A voice said behind them. They turned to see Jack up the ladder and next to them.
"Jack, you scared us!" Link stated.
"Oh, sorry 'bout that," He replied. "I just couldn't get sleep so I came up here to see what was going on."
"What's with all this fog?" Tetra asked.
"The fog surrounds the island about fifty miles off shore. It is a natural protection against other ships that aren't from Faragway," Jack stated.
"So Faragway is the name of the land?" Tetra asked.
"Yes," Jack replied. "The Fog is at its thickest so we are about in the middle of the fog bank. If we continue forth we would reach the end of the fog bank and would be able to see Faragway in the distance."
"That's good," Link commented.
"Gonzo!" Tetra yelled.
"Yes Miss?" Gonzo answered from below.
"Keep on a steady course, the fog is a normal occurrence," She stated.
"Alright Miss!" He replied.
"Well, I think I'll go sleep while waiting," Link stated and already started his decent from the ladder. Jack followed his lead and went down the ladder to head to bed as well. Tetra stayed on the Crow's nest and stared out at the sea. She wondered what promises the new land held and slid down the ladder and off to bed.

"Miss Tetra...Miss Tetra!"
Tetra slowly opened her eyes to see Nudge gently shaking her. He smiled.
"Well, we're nearly out of the fog," Nudge said. "I'll meet you back on deck."
"Alright," She replied groggily as she got out of bed.
She changed from her night clothing and slipped into her usual outfit. She tied her red handkerchief around her neck. She looked at the back of her right hand as it glowed with the triforce symbol. The triforce of wisdom had shown brighter then the rest. She turned her attention away and left her room. She opened the door and made her way up to the wheel of the ship. Link was sitting near the stairs and smiled as she walked up.
"You sleep well?" He asked.
"Of course," She replied simply.
"Good, because Jack says we're near the end of the fog bank, and it would only be an hour before reaching Faragway," Link stated.
The ship continued to glide through the water. They drew ever closer to the end of the fog bank. The fog was already beginning to get thinner, and patches of sunlight soon appeared through the fog. The patches grew bigger and soon the ship was blanketed by the light. The fog cleared in front of the ship, to behold the sight of Faragway.
The land was basked in sunlight. The seas around it were crystal clear, and you can see the bottom of the ocean for some distance. There were forests, rich in the color green. The skies were clear of clouds, only a few clouds passed by occasionally. There were towns along the coastline. It looked like a great place to stay.
"Wow, it looks so beautiful," Medli exclaimed.
"Yes, it is said to be a twin of Hyrule," Jack stated.
"I can see why," Link said.
"So what is this part of Faragway called?" Gonzo asked.
"This part is called the Great Bay," Jack answered, "One of the main towns is a little further inward."
The ship sailed close to one of the towns. It was Jack's relief that the town was still alive and well. There were children playing near the beach, and the other citizens were around the town, doing their work. Their attention was caught by the approaching Pirate Ship. The ship sailed towards the docks where smaller ships were docked. The large ship dropped anchor near the docks, not wanting to cause problems. The ship was anchored conveniently next to a cliff side for easy boarding though.
The crew walked off the ship, one by one. Niko had to stay behind to guard the ship. The group made their way into the town, following Jack. They looked at the town, and it looked nice and quaint. The eyes of people stared hard at them, making even Link and Tetra uncomfortable. There was a long silence as they stopped in the town square. Everyone was just staring at them. But then the silence was broken.
"Jack, you returned!" Another man yelled. "Good to see you alive!"
The average sized man made his way out of the crowd, and then he grinned at Jack. He had brown hair and black eyes. He had a white shirt with a brown vest. He also wore brown pants and black boots. There was a scimitar on his side.
"Good to see you again Mark," Jack stated.
"So you found help eh?" Mark asked.
"Yes," Jack replied. "Tell me, what is the situation with the forces of Valkom?"
Mark's expression changed to a frown, "they have taken the castle, most of Faragway is under their control."
"What about Clock town?" Jack asked.
"No, Clock Town is still safe," Mark replied. "But it won't be for long. I organized a group that will move over there and help protect it."
"We'll help," Link said.
"That would help us a lot," Mark replied.
"When do we leave?" Jack asked.
Mark motioned his hand as some soldiers in chain mail and civilians came up. They had bows, spears and swords and looked ready for combat. Mark looked back at them,
"We leave immediately."

In Clock Town, citizens were running back and forth as soldiers were preparing the town for a battle. People who weren't going to defend the town were ordered to hide in buildings. The Stockpot Inn was filled up from hiding people, even the hallways were filled. The Clock Tower was turned into a post for archers. The walls around clock town were also filled with archers and longbow men.
There was a long silence as a sudden rumbling sound was heard in the far distance. The Valkom forces were coming, and in large numbers. The small to giant sized creatures dashed straight for Clock Town, where the one secret was hidden. Arrows flew towards the monsters, piercing their skin by a bit. Their armor-like skin was too tough for arrows or any other wooden object to have any effect.
Soon, the arrows came down on fire. The archers and longbow men used the old fire arrow technique. It was working, as the arrows hit a monster, it would start to light on fire. Monsters that were on fire struggled to put the flame out, but failed in the end. There were still many other monsters charging at the walls. The fire arrows had no effect on the larger beasts, which were near to the wall and preparing to knock it down.
That's when the guards decided to use another weapon. Some of the warriors on the walls began to cast powerful spells to destroy the larger monsters. It was having great effects. The larger monsters were powerless to stop the warriors and the spells they launched. The tide of the battle was beginning to change. It looked as though the Valkom forces would lose.
Winged dragons came from the mountain on one side of Clock town. They began to swoop down on the walls and wreak havoc. The flame they spat from their mouths killed guards and archers. The warriors retreated inward as the dragons smashed the gates of the walls in. Countless numbers of Rune Serpents came charging into the town. Many of the warriors began to combat the oncoming wave of monsters. The mages that were in the town began casting flame spells and hurling them at the dragons.
The dragons were one by one falling out of the sky. The Rune Serpents in the town were fighting a losing battle as they were held at the gates and easily crushed. The monsters began to retreat out of the town and head back to another place. The defenders of Clock town had one for now, but the monsters would be back, and in stronger waves.
"I don't know how we'll hold another wave," A guard stated. "Try and get more help from other towns, and quickly!"
"We must not let them get the secret within, it could end all life," Another guard added.
