Chapter 5: The Legend Unfolds
Link and the others including the old man walked down the side of the hill into town. Claire was a little reluctant to leave because she feared of running into Charlie on his way out. Little did she know that his ship already left port. She began to wonder, maybe she had made a mistake…he had saved her life countless times and she threw him out, hell his arm was almost ripped off…No, she couldn't forgive him, he was a dragon knight, one of the very souls who abandoned their pact with her father and if she ever saw him again she would kill him.
A week later Link decided it was time to go. He and Zelda said their goodbyes and left on a ship bound for the Rutanian Castle. The boat ride wasn't too long, about four hours and the island had been visible from the island they were just at. Soon enough Link and Zelda were at the foot of the castle. Much of this place reminded Link of the market town below Hyrule Castle. It seemed that the King of Rutan had received the King of Hyrule's letter and the two heroes were rushed inside and led to the throne room. The king was waiting for them.
"Ah! I'm so relieved to know that King Daphnes has kept his word. The Hero of Time is here a last. I would like to get to know what kind of person you are, but now is not the time. You arrived not a moment to soon, surely on your way here you have heard of Jaxon?" Link nodded. "Then you know the story?" Link nodded again. "You know about his 'special' scythe?" Link shook his head. "Then that's where I'll begin."
"Many years ago, before our time, there was a supposedly extinct volcano to the far west of here, but it did not hold lava…it held the essence of life itself. A young philosopher named Zalure had come up with a way to keep our islands from deteriorating. You see our islands had one of seven land types: Forest, ash lands, marshes, plains, tundra, canyon, or desert. Our islands began to fall apart due to their very different climates. Well not only was Zalure a philosopher, but he was also a blacksmith and used the volcano's life essence and fused it into seven different weapons and placed them in secret shrines where a land type was at it's strongest. From then on the islands did not come in conflict with one another. However, the islands have gotten so used to it they no longer need the weapons to uphold themselves. Jaxon gained this knowledge and has acquired the Dream Eater, a very powerful scythe."
"So you want us to get it back for you?" Zelda asked.
"That and the death of Jaxon, to much pain he has caused us."
"Consider it done. Where is he?" Link said.
"The volcano I spoke of earlier, to the west."
"We'll go there immediately your highness." They bowed and left.
I know it's short, but that's why I've put up two chapters! But don't get used to it.
