Chapter One: The Injury
It had been a long night and Link had been searching for a criminal. This criminal was causing disruption and thievery in Western Hyrule and Linkhad been sent to investigate. His only description of the thief was a slender character that moved in a blur of black. Link knew not if this thief was human or super-natural. Either cause would have been realisticin a place like Hyrule, where many unusual creatures dwelled. He was lucky enough to have his lead; reports of shadows peering over and into the Kokiri forest. If the thief was in that area, the Lost Woods would bethe most suitable location for a hideout. With it's thick trees, its easy to understand it's name.
As Link rode his horse through the
trees, a black blur flew threw the trees in front of him. He heard a
rustle from behind him, then another to his left, and out came a
solid black wolfos flying toward him. It knocked him off of Epona and
made the horse run off. Link drew his sword in attempt to draw the
beast back.Unaffected, the wolfos jumped directly over Link and
wounded him at the side.The knock startled him, giving him an
adrenaline rush that charged him to swing at the beast.The wolfos
jumped back over Link again and threw his arm at Link, knocking him
against a tree in the woods.
Link jumped to his feet and swung
hissword in his trademark diagonal blow at the wolfos, it being
blocked by the razor claws of the wolfos. It swung back again at Link
knocking the swordout of reach. Swiftly, the wolfos clawed Link in
the face, rendering him unconscious.
From a nearby tree, a woman dressed in a black draping outfit and with long blood-red hair jumped to the ground and threw a dagger into the creatures neck, slowly poisoning it to death. The woman looked over at Link, lying on the ground silently. She leaned over him and ripped a piece of her clothing and wrapped it around the cut at his waist. She gave a small sigh and lifted him over her shoulders.
