Chapter Two
Find the Wand of Isys!
Learning the Spell of Rainstorms
Every few minutes that the two ran through the forest, Link would steal a glance at Renla: the Gerudo Pirate. He didn't know if he could trust her, but who could blame him? Ganondorf and Gornon gave their tribe a bad name.
"Why do you keep looking at me like that?!" Renla finally said, breaking the silence.
Link's eyes widened as he broke his glare, tripping but turning it into a forward roll and going back into his run. He didn't answer right away, but he did respond.
"I've never heard of a Gerudo Pirate going after a male Gerudo Thief in order to murder him… It's sort of suspicious."
Renla sighed, shaking her head. "Ever since Ganon and Gornon started wreaking havoc everywhere, no body seems to trust me…"
Link blinked in confusion, stopping as the girl did, too. "What do you mean?"
"I am… one of the few of whom are left of the Gerudo Tribe… In Trirule, at least… I'm not sure if it's happening over the Great Sea, too…"
Link's eyes widened as a question arose in his mind. 'What about the Deku Scrubs, Gorons and Zoras?'
"I fear the same may be happening to the other races… But of course, I am not so sure that there will be a decrease in Trilian or Hylian people… So you haven't anything to worry about… yet…"
Link looked at her. "What do you mean… yet?"
Renla shrugged. "Well, Anioto is the one doing this… And I'm certain that he'll be going to all the races so he could get people to defend him… We'll have to be very careful, Hero of Winds… Anioto is very persuasive, especially now because he has the Triforce of Power with him."
"You can call me Link… Hero of Winds seems a little too formal…" Link nodded, and then smirked slightly. "But not to worry… Once we beat him to the Wand of Isys, we'll also beat him to the other races!"
Renla's usual serious expression changed to a smile at Link's determination.
"You are just as everyone said you were… Foolishly determined to do everything impossible… And somehow… You always get the job done…" she spoke with her eyes closed. She looked up at him with that smile of hers. "All right, let's get to finding that Wand of Isys!"
"That's the spirit!" Link said, totally forgetting that Renla was a Gerudo he didn't think he could trust.
The two nodded a each other before running on again, looking through every tree, bush, and crack in the ground for where the Wand may be.
Anioto approached the stream of light flooding from the sky to the ground. Bathed in the light was a floating silver wand. He smirked, his hooked nose getting crooked slightly. He stepped into the light, reaching for the wand.
An arrow that seemed on fire flew out toward him, hitting his hand before it could grab the Wand of Isys. Anioto yelled out in pain and anger, turning to look in the direction the Fire Arrow had come from.
"Not so fast, Anioto!" Renla shouted, jumping from behind a tree and landing at the bottom of the medium-sized hill Anioto and the wand were on.
"Renla! What are you doing, you're a Gerudo! You should be helping me! Not trying to stop me!" Anioto explained, glaring with those purple eyes of his.
"Shut up! You know as well as I do that you killed most of our race, leaving only the ones who would side with you! It was just lucky that my Pirate crew and I weren't there when you murdered nearly everybody in the Valley!" Renla angrily spoke, eyes burning with hatred. "I will never forgive you for what you're done! You don't deserve that sign on your hand! You use it only for evil!"
Anioto smirked, showing Renla his hand with the sign on it. "My dear, the Triforce of Power was meant for the evil Gerudo… Why do you think it chose Ganon, and then Gornon after him?"
Renla didn't answer, she just left her angry glare on the boy who would be the next Evil Gerudo King.
"You've changed since the last I saw you, Anioto… You were always so kind and gentle back then… What happened to you…?"
"This happened to me!" Anioto answered forcefully, eyes wide with excitement was a glowing gold beam came from his hand and went out toward Renla.
Renla screamed as she was sent back into a tree. She weakly looked at the Gerudo boy with a sorrowful look.
"Looks like you couldn't stop me from getting the Wand of Isys, Renla! Too bad for you that the Hero of Winds wasn't here with you!" Anioto laughed.
Renla smirked. "That's where you're wrong, Anioto…"
The Gerudo boy stopped laughing and blinked in confusion, looking to his side where the Wand of Isys once was, only to find that it was gone. He gasped, looking all around himself.
"Where'd it go?!"
"Looking for… this?" a voice asked tauntingly.
Anioto turned around, seeing Link. The Hero of Winds had his right hand on a tree, leaning on it as he shook the Wand of Isys in his left hand with a smirk on his face.
Anioto shouted in anger. "How the Hell did you?!"
"Let's just say I have my way…" Link replied, eyes closed as he stood up straight and took his right hand from the tree. He pulled out his Long HookShot and aimed it at the tree behind Anioto and beside where Renla was.
Letting out the chain, he flew from the ground and went a yard over Anioto's head to get to where he wanted to be. He went to Renla and helped her up, whispering to her.
"Let's get going!"
The two began to run away from the scene, trying to escape before Anioto did something drastic. Anioto, however, ran after them. He growled loudly as he tried to catch up to them.
"Link! He's right behind us!" Renla shouted, trying to stay ahead by the Hero of Winds.
Link took the Wand of Isys, seeing green sparkles coming from it. He closed his eyes, the words coming to him.
"From the appearance of an enemy to our own escape… Rainstorm!" he shouted, raising the wand over his head and toward the sky.
The once cloudless sky was now turning very dark with black clouds. A heavy rainfall immediately came down on them, keeping them hidden from Anioto.
Link and Renla could hear the angry shouting of Anioto when he gave up on chasing them through the storm. They saw a flash and knew he had used a Dekunut to disappear.
As the storm subsided, the two stopped and panted by the same tree they had first met at.
"Phew! That was a close one!" Link exclaimed, wiping his forehead of sweat.
Renla nodded, panting. "You can say that again…"
"We actually make a pretty good team… You want to keep it that way rather than go back to Gerudo Valley, Miss Renla?"
The Gerudo Pirate grinned. "Sure… Why not? It'd be nice to see what else you can do…"
"Then to the Zoras Domain?" Link asked.
"To the Zoras Domain!"
