Link was riding his horse Epona, making his way to Zora's Domain to help Mipha control her divine beast. Along the way he kept thinking about Mipha and how the process would go. He couldn't keep her out of his mind. He tried thinking about other things, yet it seemed he was worried.
Link knew that Mipha was strong from the inside, however, she never showed it from the outside. She might only do that to the other Zora's and not to himself. He did know her ever since the Hero was a little child. She saw Link grow up and started to treat him more like the hero he is now as time passed.
As time went on he kept asking himself ridiculous questions. "What should I say to her when I see her?", "I she still alright after all this time?", "Should I even go alone?", "Does she still like me?"
"…" At the thought of the last question he stopped thinking and his mind went completely empty.
Epona could feel that something was wrong with his friend.
While Link was in a state of absolute silence. A shadow figurine appeared to watch him from the shadows. He waited until it was the right time to approach the Hero.
It lurked for quite some time, but ultimately it decided to walk very slowly to the back of the Hylian who was still not doing anything.
That was until Link noticed something was trying silently to confront him.
Without hesitation he quickly turned around, only to be greeted with a normal looking man.
The man was dressed in your average Hylian clothes, he had average length brown hair and was slightly taller than Link.
Link observed the man carefully. Not knowing what to expect, but what he did know, is that he couldn't let his guard down.
"Could I perhaps help you with something?" Link said in a montone voice.
The man studied him and responded: "Yes you could help me….. by giving me YOUR HEAD!"
The man took a big leap backwards. Only to reveal he was a Yiga Clan member.
"Not again, yet another Yiga member. Can't they just disappear for good? And what do they have against me anyways. Well, better make this quick." Link thought to himself.
He took out his Master Sword, leaped of Epona and charged full speed to the Yiga member, only to be met by suprise.
The Yiga teleported fast and was on the other side of the field. Without hesitation the Yiga shot from his duplex bow.
Link sensed him and deflected the two arrows in the nick of time.
"That was a close one. It seems that you aren't your average member."
"Do not take me lightly boy, My name is Jizah and I was ordered by Master Kohga himself to eliminate you. You have pestered us for far too long and now yours truly shall end this."
"Give me a break…"
Jizah wasted little time and grabbed his Demon Carver. He teleported behind link and tried to hit him, but Link was expecting this and immediately swung his sword and they both clashed. It was a will of strength and endurance to see who could hang on the most. Both wouldn't dare to give up. They both broke up and ran towards each other.
"I don't have time for this, honestly…" Link sighed and decided he wanted to finish this as quick as possible.
Once he got face to face with Jizah he swung his sword as fast as he could. However, Jizah predicted this and teleported behind his back and used his demon carver to hit Link in his back.
Link instinctively tried to dodge it, however, he did get hit. Not in the back but his right arm got cut open bad.
This was bad for Link as he used his right arms to wield the master sword.
Jizah let out a quiet laugh. "Heh heh, well it appears that your time is up Hero. Allow me to end your misery."
Link was pissed off. He was getting sick and tired of all the Yiga members trying to attack them. Even when he was going out for a walk, there they were. Waiting him up, disguising as normal looking people only to try and kill him.
Jizah rushed to his opponent ready to deliver the killer blow. The kill that would make his master, Kohga happy.
However, before he knew it he was laying on the ground with unimaginable pain.
"What happened?!" Jizah screamed out in pain. He tried figuring out what just occured. He didn't know.
Link did know, it was a simple use of Stasis.
As Jizah was ready to kill Link, Link quickly turned around and used Stasis.
The concept of time had stopped for the Yiga. He did not realise that everything other than him had continued with the flow of time. He couldn't even feel, hear, or see the sword that was directly pointed at him.
Link looked at the clueless Jizah who was unknowing of what was about to happen.
The hero held his sword tightly, he didn't care if there was blood coming from his injured arm or that he felt excruciating pain. He swung his sword as hard as he could, multiple times while screaming his trademark scream.
"HYAAAAH!"
After multiple slashed, he decided that would be enough to take him out.
Time began to move forward again for Jizan who immediately got put to the ground.
"You know, I could finish you off for good if I wanted too…."
Jizah looked at Link with the little power he had left. Sweat was starting to pour from his face. Was this is fate? Was this it? Training his entire life to let it all just end like this. He put his looked away from Link and decided that he accepted his fate and that he would die.
"However…"
The Yiga looked back at the Hero.
"Since I'm in a good mood today, I'll let you go, for now. Don't you dare ever show your face to me again."
Link then proceded to walk towards Epona and continue his trip to Zora's domain. He was pretty close.
Jizah, while still on the ground, got back up on one knee.
He thought to himself: "How dare he mock me by not killing me, this is not showing mercy. But disrespecting me and the entire Yiga clan. They say that these things are morals and showing what it is to do a good thing. I don't give a crap about such things. Those so called morals are worth nothing more than shit. My only goal is to help Master Kohga achieve his goal. I don't care how I attain it…"
He struggled to get up both his feet but he did. He continued his sentence: "AS LONG AS I REACH IT, I AM SATISFIED!"
He grabbed his Duplex bow, ready to fire bomb arrows and blow Link up.
Yet the moment he tried to aim, he failed pain in his chest, he looked down and saw that the Master Sword had pierced threw his heart.
"A-a-again?... h-how did you…." He collapsed onto the ground.
Once again he felt the effect of Stasis.
"Next time, don't scream out loud. For now stay quiet." Link said.
Jizah did stay quiet. He didn't move a muscle. Blood was coming from his chest and there was no sign of breathing left.
Link got back to Epona and continued his path to Zora's domain.
While he kept getting closer, a serious pain started to develop into his injured arm.
"Damn, this stitches. Oh well… I guess I'll have to live with it for now.
Upon entering Zora's Domain, Link was greeted by Muzu, the teacher of Mipha.
"Ah Link, I am glad to see that you have made it. How have you been?"
"I'm fine, nothing special."
Muzu noticed the injured arm and said: "My, why is your right arm covered in blood like that? Did something happen to you?"
"Yiga…"
"Ah yes, they are quite troublesome aren't they. Could we perhaps offer you some treatment?"
"No thank you."
"Well I am glad that you're here and most importantly, to help Lady Mipha with her training. Why don't we take a walk and continue talking. Don't worry about your horse, she will be taken to the nearest stable."
Link and Muzu continued to talk until they arrived at the main plaza.
Everything looked beautiful. From the sculptures to the decorations. It was just like he remembered.
He stopped spectating and asked: "Where is Mipha?"
"She is likely on in the mountains, she waited here for you, but since your arrival got delayed she decided to go for a walk."
Link didn't hesitate for a moment and began running as fast as he could. Not caring where to start looking, as long as he could find Mipha, that would be enough.
Searching at every open field, investigating the small areas, trying to find a single moving, living spirit. It was all he was looking for at this point.
"Wait, why am I so optimistic….. no, desperate to find her. I see her often, surely this isn't anything special…. right?...right!?"
With a confused mind and all he continued thinking: "Could it be that….. I just like to see her and… No it cannot….. I…. I"
"Link"
Link recognized that voice and immediately turned around and to his suprise it was Mipha making an appearence out of nowhere.
"I was wondering when you would show up, but it was later than I had expected. So I decided to take a walk here since the scenery is so beautiful. But I am glad that you have come all the way here just to find me."
Link felt more at ease with the presence of his close friend.
"Mipha I-"
He was cut off the instant Mipha noticed something horrific.
"Link, your arm! What happened?" She said with a shocked voice.
"Oh nothing really. Someone decided to be a hindrance on the way here."
"No this is really bad!" She got more concerned.
"No really, it's nothing."
Mipha got closer to Link and grabbed his left hand and walked to the ledge of the mountain where they could both sit.
Link didn't mind, at the moment all he thought about was Mipha touching him.
As they both sat down, the Zora was inspecting the Hylian's arm.
"Still being too reckless as always. Well that is just the way you are. Always putting your life on the line to be able the safe others. That is a quality I always admired about you."
As Mipha started to heal the injured arm she continued to talk with her calm, soft voice that was there to conform her close friend.
"I am happy about the fact that I could aid you whenever you're not feeling well and heal all injuries that you have."
She looked at Link and gave a reassuring smile.
"No matter how injured you are, no matter whatever happens to you. I will always be there for you. To heal you and to make you feel better."
Mipha finished healing Link's arm and the entire wound was gone. It was a special power that she had. She helped many other people whenever someone was hurt or had an injury.
"Now that I've helped you, may I ask of you. Would you please help me? I truly believe you are the only one who can help me with this task."
"Of course!"
A/N: Thank you for reading this chapter it really means alot to me.
Next chapter I want to focus more on Mipha x Link since I felt this chapter was split into the fight and the rest. So don't worry next chapter it's mainly focused on the two of them.
I also feel I keep using the word "Link" a lot, so I might want the upcoming chapter to be in his P.O.V.
Also thank you for those who gave this fanfic a review, favourite or follow. It has motivated me a lot to make this chapter and I hope this one delivers.
Anyways thank you all for reading once again and I will see you in the next chapter!
