The Golden Knight

Chapter 1

The Awakening

His body lay motionless on the stiff hay bed that was in the corner of his dark cell. The air was humid, and had a foul smell to it. He sat up, and looked around. He did not know where he was, he didn't even remember his name. He stood up and immediately fell back down. He tried again and stood disoriented for a moment. As he gained some of his strength back, he moved over to the metal bars that led out into the hall. The hallway was dimly lit by the torches that line the walls. From somewhere down the hall, link could hear the faint screams of someone being tortured. Then silence, the torture was over and then, the sound of something, or maybe someone being dragged along the rough grounds of the prison. Two creatures came into view, followed by and dirty, bloody, motionless man. As the creatures drew closer to his cell, he started to feel weak, closed his eyes and fell to the ground.

His body lay on the ground, it was still and quite, but his mind started to wonder. Images from his memory flashed in his head. He saw himself, at the recruitment office, filling out a piece of parchment. The only things he could make out were his name, and age, Link, age 19. Then the images changed, he was charging into battle, staying close to a knight in golden armor. He was charging towards the woods, where a massive army of Rubik soldiers came charging out. Then nothing, Link sat up again, he suddenly remembered things, what had happened and more importantly, his name, Link.

Then link heard the dragging sound, but this time, he heard muffled voices. The Rubik soldiers came into view again dragging another Hylian soldier. Link knew he would have to escape before it was his turn to get dragged to the torture room.

Link felt a surge of energy as he developed a plan to escape. He knew he would have to act quickly in order to free as many soldiers as her possibly could to put up an effective resistance. He would have to break out; free others, arm them, and try to escape. He wasn't sure where he would go after, he didn't know where he was in relation to Hyrule, but he was sure some of the other soldiers would be able to tell him. Time passed as he grew anticipated and was ready to carry out his plan, he knew he had one shot at it, Link would have to do everything right.

Link went back to his bed and laid down on his bed, and gathered his strength. Then again the dragging sound after the screaming had ceased, Link went over the plan one more time, closed his hand on the rock, and moved over to the bars. When the Rubiks came into view, he took a deep breath, and took aim!
