Chapter Five
As Link entered the market place from the Temple of Time, his visage landed on a group of Redeads nearly dogpiled on one another by the broken fountain. In fact, from what he could see, the whole castle markte looked broken and run down, completely devastated. Pushing it from his mind for now, Link drew the Master Sword and charged the Redeads.
One by one he hacked at the with the sword, being careful to avoid the ones that lunged for him. Thankfully there weren't that many, five or six at most, but they did take a few good hits to knock them back to the grave. However, just as he was on the last one, it let out a horrible screech that left him paralyzed. Just his luck he would have forgotten they did that.
------------------------------------
Slowly the monster pile atop her began to lessen and she could feel air return to her lungs. As the last one removed itself, she cautiously pushed herself up letting her arms jold her upper body up off of the ground. And it was just in time too, for the minute her eyes traveled up from the worn cobblestone floor beneath her, she could only watch as the Redead paralyzed the blonde man before her. As it neared him, she grew frantic, unsure of what it would do to him. Unable to do much to help him, she glanced at the pink rabbit on the ground beneath her and formed a small, though probably stupid, idea.
Seating herself on her rear, she picked up the rabbit from the ground and held it in her hand. Waiting til it was just close enough to Link, she lobbed the plush at the xombie and managed a hit. Just as predicted, the Redead turned from Link and began to shuffle back towards her, giving the "elf" plenty of time to shake free of the paralysis.
------------------------------------
Shaking his head to be rid of the lingering effects, Link could hardly believe he had just been saved by a flying plush toy. With the redead only a foot or so away from the young woman, he didn't know if he had time to charge the zombie baised creature. So, instead, he pulled out the Ocarina of Time and played a song, the Sun's Song, which he had learned just moments before opening the door to the Temple of Time. As the redead froze over, he briefly wondered why he hadn't thought of it before, then charged the creature and ran it through.
As it fell where it had been standing, Link cleaned the sowrd on his tunic, sheathed it and made his way to the cowering girl. it wasn't too hard to see that she had known her action was a bit on the stupid side, but it had saved him. Kneeling down, he placed his hand under her chin and gently tilted her head up to face him. Above him, Navi tinkled asking if the girl was all right, but Link ignored her and it seemed that the girl didn't understand what was being said. maybe she'd find out once Link was done ogling.
And, as much as he hated to admit it, the Hero of Time was ogling. As rude as it felt, he couldn't help it, she was as gorgeous as she was mysterious. She didn't seemed to be from this world either. With pale skin and a slender frame, deep midnight blue eyes flecked with silver and near silver hair. She seemed right out of a storybook tale. But what made her all the mysterious was the crescent moon mark right in the middle of her forehead. Every now and then it would flicker with light, almost as if in tune with her heartbeat, and when it did Link thought he could the symbol of the triforce just behind the moon mark.
"Is she all right Link?" Navi asked again, breaking him from his thoughts.
Realizing Navi had probably been asking for some time now, Link tore his eyes from hers and looked her over. As he did, it was then it registered that she was completely bare, wearing no clothing what-so-ever. Blushing profusely, he dropped his hand and stood, giving an embarassed nod. He could feel the girl's eyes on him and he looked away unable to look her in the eye. Doing so though, he missed the hurt look in her midnight sky colored eyes as she looked him over.
"We... we need to find her some clothing," Link managed to get out shakily once his voice returned.
Navi jingled in reply, agreeing, while the girl only tilted her head, unable to understand what he was saying. This was going to be difficult, she just knew it.
