Chapter 3- The Braclet's Power! To the Desert!

"E-Epona?" asked the red-headed woman, when the small horse ran up to her. She knelt down, and hugged said horse. She then looked up to the group, consisting of her husband, daughter, Afios, and Link. Link, in particular. "You must be Link. You look excatly like you did on that day twenty years ago. But how is that possible?"

"I don't know, but I wanted to know if I could keep Epona here until I finished my quest." Link said, "She really needs a break."

"Of course." Malon said, petting Epona's mane. "And of course ya'll stay for lunch. I wont take no for an answer."

"Well, sinc eyou put it that way." Link said, rubbing the back of his head.
"Then its settled." Malon said, "Link, go with Caroline and take Epona to the coral. Afios, would you be so kind as to gather some apples from the tree infront of the ranch?"

Both boys nodded, and headed off to their destinations. Once they got about fifteen feet from eachother their braclets started to glow. They both stopped and looked at the glowing braclets. Suddenly they were jerked back, towards eachother, and crashed into eachother. They both grunted on impact, before passing out.

Afios was the first to come to. He ran his hand through his gray hair, which was pulled back into a small pony tail, except for his bangs, which fell into his hace in five strand across his forehead. He was searching for a bump. He pulled his hand away, and winced when he found it.

"I see you're awake." Malon said, as she waked in. She was carring a tray with rolled up bandages on them. "I want to see that bump." She said, and undid the bandages on Afios' head. "Wow, you have quite the bump. "What happened?"

"I, huh ..." Afios said, rubbing his temples, "I remember going for the applesand my braclet started glowing. Next thing I know, I was pulled back by somehing, and collided with the kid. Man, he has a hard head." He tried to take the braclet off, but it refused to move. "I can't get it off!"

"Well, it looks like you two are stuck together." Malon said, smirking.

"I can't believe she did this to me!" Afios said, angrily, "My own mother tricked me!"

With all the commotion the angry Sheikah was making, Link started to stir. He let off a groan, and fubbed his head. He quickly moved his hand, and hissed in pain when he touched the bump on his head. Malon finished redoing Afios' bandages, and moved to Link.

"What happened?" He asked, looking over to the Sheikah.
"My mother is what happened." Afios said, "These braclets are magic. Apparently, we can't go ten feet away from eachother, or we slammed together."

"It was more like fifteen feet." Malon said, "And jugding by the size of these bumps, you both have pretty hard heads. Now, are you two hungry?"

"Yes!" Link said, happily. Completely forgetting about the bump on his head. Afios merely nodded.
"I'll bring up your food." Malon said, leaving. Link looked over to the older boy. Afios looked really angry. He was trying to pull of the braclet. He stopped when Malon walked in with two trays of food. She gave on to each boy, and walked back out. Link looked down at the plate and saw a chicken leg, with bread and veggies. He gave one last look over at the angry teen he was bound to. He was taking a sip from his milk. Link looked back to his own plate, before he started eating.

After they were both finished, they walked downstairs, and Malon took their plates. She gave the boys a glass of water, with some herbs. She explained the herbs will stop the pain, and will help heal the bumps faster. After that, she and her family waved goodbye as the boys left. Once they left the ranch, Link turned to Afios.

"Where to?" He asked

"Well, lets get the deset out of the way, so we don't have to deal with the Gerudo later." Afios said, "Hey, didn't you have a fairy?"

Link stopped in his tracks and took off his hat. He looked inside, and did not see his fairy friend. He looked down his shirt, and got worried when he still didn't see her. He was worried. 'What if she for hurt when Afios and I got slammed together! What if she's ...'

"Link, I found her." Afios said, holding the fairy, who was sittung in his hand.

"Navi!" Link said, and gently hugged said fairy.

"Sorry, Link." Navi said, "I got knocked out of your hat, and into his tunic."

"Its okay, I'm just glad you're okay." Link said

"Hey, sorry to brak up this moment, but we really should be going, I want this braclet off." Afios said, "And knowing my mother, that won't happen until we get all the Sage Medallions. So lets hurry."

"Do you not like me?" Link asked, looking at the older boy he was now bond to.

"Huh? No, its not that," Afios said, "Its just I don't want to be an attendant. I want to travel, and see more than just the castle, ranch and Kakoriko Village. And because of my heritage, I can't do that."

"Oh." Link said, "I'm sorry you have to be my attandant, but atleast you're traveling around."

"Yeah, I know, but I would have rather done it without being bound to someone like we are." Afios said, "I would mind it so much if we didn't have these stupid braclets."

"Well, you do, so you might as well get over it." Navi said.

"Easy for you to say, you're not bound to anyone." Afios said, stubbornly. Navi rolled her eyes, and they continued on their way.

They reached the vally shortly after nightfall. They decided to go in, and see if they could stay the night there. But when they did they were surrounded, almost instanly, buy the guards of the fortress. Link drew his sword and sheild, wile Afios pulled out his sword. The Gerudo guards attacked, and Link blocked with his sheild, while Afios skillfully dogded their attacks. How ever, by doing so went over the limit of distance he and Link were allowed, and they were slammed into eachother by the braclets, getting knocked out in the process.

When Link came too he saw him and Afios were in a cell. Afios was in the corner, looking a mixture of anger and sorrow. Link wondered what was going on with him. He decided he should see what was wrong with his Sheikah guide.

"Afios, whats wrong?"

"Its my fault we got captured." Afios said, distane in his voice, "I should have blocked more instead of dodging. I just got caught up in the battle and ..."

He stopped talking there. Link decided not to dig any farther. It wasn't long after when Navi flew into the cell, with Nabooru not far behind. She also had a younger Gerudo, about sixteen, with her. When both Link and Afios saw her, they couldn't take their eyes away. She looked like most of the other Gerudo females, but she had bright green eyes. Her eyes were very capturing. And she had the Gerudo outfit, but hers was purple.

"Link, its been a while." Nabooru said, as she undid the locks on the cell, "Its been what? Twenty years? And you're still looking young. How do you do it? You could become rich off a secret like that."

"I wish I knew." Link said, "But we came here you get your Sage Medallion so Zelda can send me back to my time."

"Hm, well, We have to go to the Chamber of Sages so I could give ti to you. But first, who is your friend?"

"Oh, this is my new attendant, Afios." Link said, "Impa's son."

"Oh, so, he must get his looks from his father, since he's quite the looker." Nabooru said, "This is my daughter, Beylinda. She's single."

"Mom!" Beylinda said, blushing. "You don't do this to Rei!"

"Rei?" Link and Afios asked

"He's my son, Beylinda's twin brother. Heir to the Gerudo throne." Nabooru said

"And filled with evil powers that treaten to destroy us all, courteous of our sperm doner." Beylinda said, "And call me Bey."

"Who's the father?" Link asked. Nabooru sighed.

"Ganandorf." She said, causing Link, Afios, and Navi to gasp.

"But how? Ganandorf was sealed in the evil realm?" Link asked

"Before he was, and for some reason, the kids defied the magic that transended time, I think that was Rei's doing. His powers are so great, they even put Ganandorf's to shame."

"Its a good thing he isn't evil." Bey said, "But the way he's constantly fighting the evil inside him, its only a matter of time before he loses it."

"Yes, so now the poor boy has to stay in a room filled with Sage Magic," Nabooru siad, "Its sad."

End chapter. I'm sorry for the boringness of the chapter, but it explains where they have to go to get the Medallions and a possible new threat. Anyway, R&R.
