Life After Legend
Chapter 7: The Fearing Gerudos
It has been 13 days since we started this voyage. We have been wandering the desert for eleven. The Gerudos were in great hurry to get us out in the desert. Many almost died of shock once we volunteered to help them.
We arrived at their village the day we left. Link was friends with many Gerudo. Once we got past the gate-lady we were somewhat excepted. Link was accepted, and Knil and myself weren't thrown in jail. It would have been smoother sailing if Knil hadn't stolen Link's Gerudo membership card.
When asked why we had come, Link simply declared that the King had wanted us to survey for the trade route. I believe they accepted that story for the most part. Link pretended to think that the moral in the village was odd. A heavily medicated monkey could tell something was wrong for crying aloud! Still, Knil and I acted along and followed Link's lead.
The Gerudo leader, Naburoo, explained that demons had started attacking in the past weeks. Many attacks had come at any time of day. The Gerudos had to stand watch all the time unless the want to killed. Many brave fighters had already died. All the demons had come from the desert. There hadn't been an attack in several days, but the Gerudo witches had been sensing many surges of dark power coming more frequently and full of more evil.
The Gerudos rushed us out of their village so we could stop the demons. We have wandering ever since. I too can sense a growing density of dark magic. It seems vampiric. We have been following the evil with a special compass Knil had. He wouldn't say where he found it, but I have a hunch that it hasn't always been his.
I believe there is some connection between Knil and Link. They look much alike except for their pigmentation. Even their names are similar. I anyone knows anything it would be Knil. To him the subject seems sore. The two don't seem to get along real well. Link has some level of suspicion about Knil he can't seem to figure out.
