Chapter 2:

A King's ransom

Seto stayed and trained with the sheikhs for three months, learning quickly their arts of the shadow. Impa came to respect Seto as a peer, and all the shiekahs began to respect him as well. Even Kard Began to hold a fragile trust for him. One early morning Seto was awakened by Kard, there was an emergency. Princess Zelda was there; Seto was the last one in the large living area. Princess Zelda had a very sad expression on her face, Impa stood close by the princesses side.

" Princess what is wrong, what happened?" asked Impa. "My father, Ganondorf attacked our castle and kidnapped him!" Sobbed Zelda. "What! What did he want?" Asked Kard. "He demanded that Link face him. The problem is nobody knows where he went after the last tragedy with Ganondorf."

"So, we have two options. Find Link, or Attack Ganondorf with out Link." Said Seto. " We can't go with the second one, Ganondorf might kill the king." Said Kard. " So we find Link, any ideas where he could be?" asked Impa. " None, even I lost touch with him." Zelda said in an even more saddened voice. " We should check the six winds." Said Wodahs, another shiekah, he usually went by Dahs. " Six winds?" asked Seto. " Yes, the six areas of hyrule: the kokiri forest, Hyrule town, Death mountain, the Gerudo desert Kakariko village, and Lake hyrule." Explained Impa.

" I will head the voyage to the forest." said Seto. "And I will Search the mountain." Added Kard. "And I the desert." Added Impa. " I'll search the lake." Said Dahs. "Me and my men will search the surrounding area." Said an elder Shiekah. "And my soldiers will search the hyrule area." Zelda Said confidently. " What about yourself?" Seto asked Zelda." I'll go with you to the forest."

"So it is agreed: I will go with Zelda to the forest, Kard will go to the mountains, Impa will travel to the desert, Dahs will search the lake, the shiekahs will search the surrounding area, and the hylian soldiers will search the area closest to the town." Recited Seto. " I suggest we thoroughly get ready, let's take two days to get ready, until then we prepare for our journeys." With that the assembly of people broke up, and Seto went to prepare for the long journey ahead.
