Chapter 2

After four days of traveling, Link came across a forest. As he entered the woods, he saw rustling in the bushes. Link quietly drew his sword and shield. It was quiet. Link was about to put his sword and shield away when out of the bushes came three assassins.

"All right, finally some action!" Link yelled. One bandit had a curved sword; He lunged forward with a vertical strike. Link dodged it and kicked the bandit in the stomach. On the ground the bandit attempted a stab to the leg, but Link jumped on his back and stabbed him in the neck.

The second bandit had a large mace. Link avoided contact with it. Link drew his bow and shot and arrow at the bandit's chest. Link punched this one into a nearby river.

The last had no weapon, was very old, and looked about 70 or 75 years old. "You dare challenge me the great Heihachi!" Link put away his sword and shield. "I don't want to hurt you old man."

"Oh, don't worry I'LL BE HURTING YOU!" Heihachi remarked. Heihachi side kicked Link, but missed. Link jumped up and preformed an axe kick straight down on Heihachi's shoulder blade. The kick knocked Heihachi to the ground and up against a stump. The old man was breathing hard, only to find the Master sword at his throat. "Please don't kill me!" Heihachi begged. Link looked down at the old man's face. "Fine, I will spare your life" Link said.

"Heh..heh..heh" Heihachi chuckled while he pulled out a pistle. BANG! The old man eyes grew wide. The bullet bounced off Link's sword impaling himself in the heart. Link had reflexes faster than a cobra. Heihachi lay there by the stump ready to die. Link put away his sword and headed east.

In the middle of the forest a young girl with her spear headed in the direction she heard the gun shot. After 15 min of looking she found two dead bodies. "Bandits." She whispered to herself. She looked around and found footsteps headed east. "Could this be Yunsung?" The girl ran east. "Only one way to find out."

Link was sweating from the humidity. "It was foolish of not bringing water." Link said. "HEY YOU!" someone shouted. Link drew his sword and ready to attack if necessary. "Are you the one who killed those bandits?" the girl asked. "Uh…yeah." Link answered confused. "Those were thieves under the spell of Soul Edge." The girl said. Link's eyes shot open. "You know of Soul Edge!" Link said. "Yes I seek to destroy it."

The girl remarked. "Ditto" Link said. "Would you like to travel with me?" the girl asked. "Sure" Link said.

"Please let me introduce myself I'm Seung Mina." Link smiled and said, "I am Link"

"Well Link, I know of a village called Athens just a few miles southeast of here. I have a friend there that has the same goal as us." Link thought for a second. "Okay" Link said.

"So Link where do you come from?" ask Seung Mina. Link replied. "The kingdom of Hyrule." "Never heard of it" Mina replied. Link just simply replied, "I'm sure no one has."

Three hours later, Link and Mina finally came across Athens. "This place reminds me of Hyrule so strongly." Link thought to himself. "Come on, we must go and see my friend!" Mina said kind of in a hurry. "Whoa, What's the big rush?" Link asked. Mina replied,

"I-I just haven't seen her in a while."

The two ran through town in search of Mina's dear friend. Eventually, Mina recognized a house. She knocked on the door. Link leaned against a pole near the street. "Mina… Who is this woma-" The door opened and a young child was there. Mina put her hands on her knees and asked, "Hi, is your mother home?" The boy then yelled, "MOMMY PEOPLE ARE HERE TO SEE YOU!" A beautiful woman came to the door smiling. "Hey Mina"

"SOPHITIA!" They both hugged. "Who's this?" Sophitia asked. "Hi, name is Link." They shook hands. "Please come in," Sophitia said.

They all sat around a coffee table. Link, Mina this is my husband Rothion, my daughter Prryha, and my son Patroklos. "Where's Cassandra?" Mina asked. "I'd rather not talk about it." Sophitia said. "Auntie Cassie goes kill "Sool Wegg." Patroklos said aloud. "Shh!" Sophitia said. "Soul Edge?" Link said. " Sigh yes she was foolish and said she would destroy Soul Edge. But it's been dead for fouryears now?" Sophitia said. Rothion continued with "And it needs a host to survive." "It found one, a man called Nightmare." Mina said. "How do you know this?" Link asked. "He murdered my best friend." Mina said. Link just looked down. "Soul Edge has taken away a friend of mine, also. She was my best friend since my childhood, the demonic sword consumed her young little soul." Link said tearing a little. "Her name was Navi…" The room got silent. "I don't want to talk about it any more." Link said.

"Soul Edge must be stopped at all costs." Sophitia said. She turned to her husband. "I must go with them to defeat Soul Edge" Rothion sighed and said, "May the gods be with you."

About an hour later, Sophitia got dressed and got her sword and shield. "Okay lets go." Sophitia said. She kissed her husband and two kids goodbye. Link watched as Seung Mina gathered up on supplies. He saw her put an instrument in her pack. "What's that?" Link asked. "It's an Ocarina Pendant. All brave heroes play this instrument, well according to my family." Mina told him. Link sort of chuckled to himself as he pulled out the Ocarina of Time. "It's ironic that I play the same instrument as those other "brave heroes" huh." Link said jokingly. "Whoa, you play the ocarina!" Mina shouted. Link nodded.

Sophitia was now calling for Link and Mina to go.

Link was thinking of Hyrule and how he missed it so much. He thought of the Gorons, the Zoras (except Ruto) his wife, and even his horse. Then it struck him. What if Epona followed him here? Only one way to find out.

"I'll catch up to you two later." Link told the girls. After he could no longer see them he pulled of the ocarina. "Let's give this a shot" Link said. He played Epona's Song. He listened carefully. Nothing. Link was about to put away the ocarina when he heard a faint horse cry. Then it got louder. Out of the forest came a brown horse with white hair. "EPONA!" Link cried. "Why did you follow me here" he asked (knowing he'd get no reply).

He hopped on the horse and headed forward to get Mina and Sophitia.

"Link, where did you get the horse? Mina asked. "She is my horse and she apparently followed me." Link told her. "But I can only take one other person at a time" Link told them. Mina immediately hopped on the horse with Link. "Fine with me" she said. "Okay hang on." Link said. "Wait what about me?" Sophitia said. Link thought for a second. "Well I guess we could just walk and you and Mina could switch off every 15 minutes." Link said. They all agreed.

Wow my second chapter is finished. I'm sorry about
