Chapter 4: The Journey of the Master Sword-Part 1

The Terminian knights looked at Link, with grim faces on all of them. The person who attacked Jimmy was also there, and a person was standing right in front of them. It was Roland. Roland grinned.

"Ive finally met you Link, grandson of the great hero of time." Roland spoke to Link. Link drew his sword, he didnt trust Roland, because he wants to conquer Hyrule. Roland chuckled.

"Fine, you want a fight, then you will get one. However, I will let my servant do it." Roland said. Patrik and Antony appeared on the scene, a bit late. The assasin, stepped up about 4 feet away from Link, looking into his eyes. It was the Shadow Assasin. Somehow to Link, The Shadow Assasin looked familiar. He tried to hit Link with his dagger, but Link reacted in time and blocked the attack with his shield. Link slashed the Assasin but he dodged it and knocked Link down with a swift kick. He unsheathed a long dagger and pointed it at Links throat.

"Go away from this place, or Hyrule. Or I will kill you the next time we meet." The Assasin said in a serious tone. He sheathed his dagger and left with Roland and the Terminian knights. Antony and Patrik rushed toward Link.

"Are you okay?" Antony asked Link. Link nodded and got up. They headed back to Lon Lon Ranch. Link entered Malons house and he saw that Malon was treating Jimmys wounds. She looked really worried.

"I could get some potion for him," Antony offered. Malon nodded.

"Okay, but hurry, theres not much time for Jimmy." answered Malon. "Calatias too far from here, but the nearest town from here is only 5 miles west."

"Alright." Antony said, leaving the house. He got on his horse and rode off.

Later, Antony made it to the town, which was called Ishmal, as it was written on a sign on the entrance. He asked a man nearby for directions.

"Do you know where somebody sells potions?" Antony asked the man. The man pointed on the end of the road.

"You should find one right over there," the man replied. Antony thanked him and went to the end of the road, he saw a potion shop and he went inside. He bought a red potion and left. Quickly, he rode back to Lon Lon ranch on his horse. Antony handed the red potion to Malon and then she gave it to Jimmy. Jimmy sat up, feeling a bit better. Malon thanked Antony for getting the potion.

"Its getting late, you three could stay for the night, there are many stalfos and moblins out there. They patrol Hyrule Field during the night, as if it was their land." Malon said. Link, Antony, and Patrik nodded. They slept in 3 spare rooms, but Link couldnt sleep. In the middle of the night Link woke up, he felt as if someone was calling him.

Next morning, Link was the last to wake up. After he ate breakfast Patrik called Link outside, Link went outside and saw 2 Hylian guards.

"Link, Zelda of Calatia would like you to meet her in her castle, today in the evening. You could bring your friends along too." one guard said. They got on their horses and rode off.

"What could it be about?" Patrik asked curiously. Antony shrugged.

"Well just have to see." he said. The three of them practised their sword-fighting skills, as they might need it for later. Then they went on to Zeldas castle. Once they entered the castle, a group of guards walked up to them.

"Who are you?" one of them asked.

"Im Link, and this is my brother Antony and my friend Patrik." Link told the guards. A guard motioned for them to follow them.

"Come, Princess Zelda has been expecting you," he said. Link, Antony and Patrik followed the guards into the palace. And inside, there was Zelda. She wore her normal dress with the triforce on it, but Zelda looked worried.

"Hi." Link greeted.

"Hello, I am the princess of Calatia, and I feel that peace has fallen in Hylia. I have visions that this war with Termina will destroy Hylia, and its people. I dont know what can stop it, but I know you can, because youre the descendant of the hero of time. Only you can destroy this evil." Zelda said. She paused. "Will you do it?"

"Yes. Ill do it." Link answered.

"I knew you would." Zelda replied, smiling. "But you will have to get the master sword first, as your grandfather did." Link nodded and said goodbye to Zelda, and he left the palace. He went back to the town.

In the town, Link, Antony, and Patrik got some things for the quest. Like potions and bows. Patrik got a new sword from an auction which he happily won. The three of them then left to the ruins of Hyrule Castle, where the master sword is.
