Siblings

Chapter 3:

Kamen walked down a long hallway on the first floor of Hyrule Castle. Thoughts reeled through his head from last night. The battle in Hyrule Castle Town did not last long, but everyone still seemed relieved. Now, dozens of soldiers covered the grounds of the market, clearing any more debris left, than beginning the slow process of rebuilding. The castle's corridors seemed to be like a never-ending maze as he walked as quietly as he could, but the clanking of metal of his armor didn't hide the fact that someone was out in the hallway.

Finally, Kamen reached his destination at an average, wooden door. He took off his helmet than knocked. He waited for a voice of a young girl to answer, but heard the familiar voice of the royal family's nurse. Kamen entered into a usual bedroom. The walls were white and barren. One window was to the back of the room and a desk to his left. To his left, he noticed the one of the many castle nurses, Kassy, leaning over an occupied bed.

"Thank the goddesses you're here, Kamen." Kassy said as she stood up a bit straighter.

"What's the matter?" Kamen said as he walked over to the irritated nurse.

"It's this girl…" Kassy replied, pointing to the girl on the bed who was struggling to sit up.

"She won't tell me her name, refuses to rest, and keeps telling me she needs to see the king…"

Kamen turned over to the girl and realized that she was only a few years younger than him. She had golden, blonde hair and blue eyes. She still wore her tattered clothes, but her shoulder and upper arm had been bandaged and a few more were wrapped around her abdomen. She had cuts and bruises still visible on her arms and even some on her face.

"What should we do?" Kassy asked as she gently tried to push the girl to lye back down.

"Well…let's try something…" Kamen said in thought, than asked the girl, "What's your name?"

The girl coughed a few times before answering, "I need to see…the king…it's important…"

"Why?" Kamen asked.

"It depends on Hyrule…" the girl said as she coughed more.

"Tell us your name, than we'll do what we can."

After a solid thirty seconds, the girl finally answered, "My…name…is…Green…Now, will…you take me-to…see the king?"

"We'll see…" Kamen said simply as he turned over to Kassy who was leaning against the wall.

"That was quick…" the nurse said a bit relieved.

Kamen smirked, "Now what?"

"She can rest, now. At least we know her name."

Kamen shrugged his shoulders than turned the other way to leave, but felt a hand pull him back. He turned around and realized the girl he just dragged her name out of, held his arm quite weakly as she tried holding in the pain.

"I have to see the king…" she said as firm as she could, but it only broke out in coughs. She released his arm to cover her mouth.

Kamen sighed hopelessly. This girl is never going to give up…he thought.

Link stood fixed to the ground, shocked at what Princess Zelda had just told him. After a few minutes of silence, Link realized he had been holding his breath, so he finally just took all the information all at once.

"Link… I know it's hard…" Zelda began.

"I know…" Link said sadly as he sat on a nearby bench, "it's just…"

"Don't worry. General Klein and the other two generals will teach you everything you know as soon as possible."

Link rubbed his forehead in confusion as he rested his elbows on his knees, "When will this happen?"

"Tonight, during dinner…"

"Wait…" Link said as he turned towards Zelda, "What?"

"Tonight, during dinner, my father, the generals, and you will be discussing every situation that comes into mind."

"Like what?" Link said, a bit of dread in his voice."

"Like the war between the Madanians, our allies, and you becoming the new general."

Link sighed in disbelief as he stood up to leave when something caught his eye through a window in front of him. He watched curiously as Kamen, a familiar castle nurse half-dragging, half-carrying a staggering body towards the throne room. Link stared disbelievingly, his eyes fixed on the girl; golden, blonde hair, same statures that he could see from his point of view.

No. A lot of people have blonde hair, Link thought, I-it couldn't be…

The longer he watched them as they were still in view, the more his hopes actually rose.

"I-it couldn't…no…" Link said barely audible.

"Link?" Zelda said as she walked up to the shocked Hylian, "Is it…"

"I-I don't know…" Link said as he finally began running out of the courtyard, leaving Zelda to go after him.

After finally reaching the corridor, Link progressed towards the throne room until he found Kassy walking the other way, rubbing her forehead.

"Kassy," Link said stopping her quickly, "what's going on?"

"It's this girl…I need to find clean bandages…" she said a bit aggravated.

Link nodded than continued towards Kamen who was at the end of the corridor, sitting next to the girl.

"Kamen!" Link said as he finally reached him, "what's going on?"

"Kassy and I are taking this girl to the throne room, says she needs to speak to the king." Kamen said.

Link kneeled next to the girl who was on her knees, coughing than supporting herself by leaning on her arms. Link shook his head, how could someone I care about be in worse health than last time? All Link wanted to do was say something to her Help her…but what?

After a few minutes, Kassy came running back in the hallway, a roll of bandages in her hand.

Link watched with concern and sadness as the annoyed nurse removed the blood-soaked bandage than wrap the new dressing around the girl's shoulder, all the while mumbling under her breath. Soon, Link and Kamen helped the girl to her feet and into the throne room.

The throne room, decorated with marble tile, blue carpeting with a plain, long, royal red rug along the middle. Dozens of chandeliers lined the ceiling, lighting the interior of the room. Soldiers stood guard at the entrance, including a few against the walls and windows. Two chairs decorated with gold and jewels sat atop a small stage guarded with at least half a dozen soldiers. The king and queen watched a bit curiously at the group that had just burst inside. Princess Zelda, who had reached the throne room a few seconds before, walked forward.

"Your Highness," Kassy said, losing her irritated voice as she came forward, "a girl here says she has something very important she needs to tell you, Your Highness."

"Bring her forward." The king said simply.

Kamen and Link half-dragged half-carried the girl to the front, than letting her sink down to her knees.

"What is your name?" the king asked curiously.

"My name…is… Green" she said.

"Where do you come from?"

"I am from the forest…"

"What is your business here, then?" the king asked intently.

"I have… come to warn you… about the Madanians…and their plans…to attack… Kakariko Village…and the castle…"

Everyone in the throne room stood shocked, not believing exactly what they had just heard.

"How would you know such a thing?" the king asked in disbelief.

"I ran into one of their camps in the forest. I overheard the general speaking of their… attacks."

"What attacks?" the king said.

"I was too late for the attack here, which makes the problem… even… worse…"

Everyone stayed silent to let the girl continue, "The Madanians are closer Kakariko Village, now. Making their way through the forest. Now they have a better chance because we aren't prepared…"

"What are you talking about?" the queen asked, now.

"The attack on Hyrule Castle Town was a decoy. Why would they…attack in broad daylight?"

Everyone stayed silent, actually understanding the girl, now as she coughed more than continued, "The time our soldiers spent defending town was the time the rest of their army was making their way towards Kakariko Village…"

"Why would attacking town be a decoy if they were so close to the checkpoint?" Princess Zelda asked curiously.

"Because they are making their way towards the village. If they control the castle, they can control all of Hyrule…"

"How did you hear all of this?" a familiar voice added as Zelda's Sheikah nursemaid appeared out of the shadows.

"I was listening at a camp in the forests… About half went to Hyrule Castle Town or to be a spy…"

"Wait… A spy?" Princess Zelda said.

"Yes…" the girl said as she coughed more, until she fell to her side, wincing from the pain.

"Green?" Link said finally, but was interrupted by the king.

"What else do you know?"

Green coughed more, holding her stomach in pain, "The day…they attack…"
