Zelda, the Two Moons
Chapter 3
Real Danger
"Link" cried Zelda "what the hell is that thing?"
"I don't know but I think we should …." He trailed off, because at that moment it was as if the bird had spotted them. It came at them at an alarming pace. Link fired an arrow off as soon as he realised that it was coming for them. But the metal bird dogged the arrow as if expecting it to come. Link nocked another arrow, this time he would wait till it couldn't doge it. As it came closer though Link realised that the top part of the bird seamed to be made out of a window like substance. As he watched he saw a dark figure, it seamed that a person was riding inside of the bird. Link stood dumb struck unable to move. As the bird came close enough for Link to make out the facial features of the person. The bird seamed to stop in mid air, then turned on the spot. On the back Link saw four bright blue circles and as the bird started moving they glowed to a pearly white. Then it shot off towards the mountain the cloud had appeared.
"Has it gone yet?" Came a small voice from behind Link.
"Yes" said Link spinning around "are you all right?"
"No." Squeaked Zelda standing up, because for the whole time the bird was coming she had hidden behind Link. Zelda sprinted back towards the castle.
"Zelda!" Shouted Link "you can't do this, it's just part of the adventure."
"But" said Zelda slowing to a stop and turning to face Link "it's like nothing I've seen before. It flew without flapping its wings; it was made of metal or something like metal."
"Zelda" explained Link "if I ran away and hid every time some thing scary and new to me came. You would be dead by now. Nothing was ever accomplished by giving up. I agree that it's very different, it's like nothing I've seen before and it scares the shit out of me. If I hadn't seen it with my own two eyes I wouldn't believe it. But I did and now we have to stop it."
"I know, but it's just so …" she trailed off because at that moment another bird appeared in the sky. This one how ever was much larger than the other, and it didn't look much like a bird more a giant triangle.
"Zelda get here" ordered link "take my shield. I fear this one is going to be a lot worse than the other."
Zelda came without comment or fighting. She took the shield and kneeled in a defensive position in front of Link. Link nocked another arrow and without a second thought let it fly. But to Link and Zelda's amazement before the arrow got to the triangle it flew off to one side as if a unseen force had acted upon it. The whole time this was happening the giant triangle was coming ever so closer. Link saw what he thought was a small red strip of light coming towards them. They both jumped to the side and with not a moment to lose because a few seconds latter the light hit the ground blow a hole in the ground and leaving scorch marks around the hole.
"Zelda" said Link worriedly "I think we need the mirror shield."
"Do you have it?"
"Yes hurry before the next comes."
"But what will the shield do?" asked Zelda while fumbling around in Link's pack.
"Well with it we might be able to deflect those beams back at the ship."
Zelda found the shield and just in time too cause the next beam was already coming at them. She spun around holding the shield at arms length facing the beam. The beam hit the shield with a sizzling sound. Zelda's arm's buckled and she fell to the ground with the impact of the shot. This set the beam of track to the middle of the triangle, where it hit something that was sticking out. There was a tremendous explosion. Link who was not distracted by this grabbed the shield from Zelda. Who was rolling around on the ground. Link knelt down into a defensive position as the next beam headed towards him. He braced for impact and with Link's precision accuracy the beam was sent straight back from where it came. There was another explosion and as if in slow motion an orange flower grew from where it hit setting of other smaller explosions. But even that job did not stop the triangle from advancing, it came closer and closer.
