Chapter 3: Another Attack
The king of Hyrule was sitting on his throne, with the usual guards around him. They had heard that the king of Termina has been assasinated a while ago, so they didnt want the king of Hyrule to share the same fate. The kings messenger entered the room with a sigh, then he bowed to the king and spoke.
"I have gotten urgent news that a large Terminian army is attacking Hylian cities, and there are only few left in our control." the messenger said. He bowed again and left the room.
"What should we do?" one of the kings advisors asked. All the advisors were talking amongst themselves, figuring out how to solve this problem. Then Link came into the room. He looked at his father, the king.
"I heard all of you arguing, and Ill go to the leader of this army and tell them to go back where they came from." Link said. Everybody stared at him, thinking that he is crazy.
"But who will go with you?" The king asked Link, concerned.
"Patrik and Antony will come with me." Link answered. The king nodded. Link left the room and went to the horse stable. Patrik and Antony met up with him and got on their horses. The three of them rode out of the castle, and out of Calatia. Now they were riding in Hyrule field, where they used to live. There was a long moment of silence, then Antony suddenly broke it.
"Where are we going?" Antony asked.
"Lets just stop at Lon Lon Ranch and rest." Patrik suggested, everyone agreed and went towards Lon Lon ranch. But they didnt know someone was following them.
Right behind them, a figure swiftly, and closely, followed the group. Link, Antony, and Patrik couldnt see him, because they thought they thought they were safe. Minutes later, the group made it to Lon Lon ranch. The figure climbed on top of the barn so he coudnt be seen. He had to follow his masters orders.
"Lure the Hero of Times descendant to me." He recalled. Disobeying orders would get him punishment. So he looked over the roofs edge to see what Link was doing.
Malon greeted Link, Antony and Patrik warmly. Another man appeared, and walked beside Malon.
"Hi, im Malon and i was named after my grandmother, who shares my name." Malon said. She looked at the Man beside her. "His name is Jimmy. Thats what i like to call him." Jimmy smiled, and waved.
"Our father is still in the house." He said. Antony caught a bit of a person on top of the barn, but he thought it was just his imagination. Malon gave Link Lon Lon milk, bread, and other food for their journey. Then Malons father came out of the house.
"Hi Link, i have heard so many great things about your grandfather and i want you to do the same." He told Link. Then a man came in sight, he was standing on the roof of the barn. He threw a dagger, and it struck Jimmys chest and making him fall back. Malon ran and knelt by his side. Patrik saw the assasin, then he got away.
"Lets follow him!" Link yelled, a look of anger on his face. He ran out of the ranch and chased the attacker, shooting arrows from his bow. None of them hit and Link ran smack into a group of Terminian knights.
