A New Hero Of Time

Chapter 4: A New Breed Of Moblins

" Link." A voice called

" Link, wake up, it's mourning."

" What?" Link replied sleepily

" It's mourning."

Link rubbed his eyes before sitting up and coming face to face with Saria.

" Oh, hi Saria."

" You need to get prepared, Hyrule can't wait too long."

" Right." Link said, springing up to his feet, " What time is it?"

" It's just gone past dawn."

" Means I should just make it to the next village by sunset."

" Here, take this before you go." Saria said holding out a small bag, " There's some fruit inside, it's not much but should last you a little while."

" Thanks."

" Oh, and Link, be careful, you never know when the geurodo's might try and attack you, apparently they know your the hero of time."

" Well, thanks for the warning, goodbye."

Link then disappeared from the village and into the Kokori Forest.

Saria continued to stare at the exit of Kokori village where Link had just disappeared." Good luck Link, please be safe."


Lost Woods

" Be careful, the gerudo's could attack at any time."

The warning Saria had given him earlier kept retelling itself in his head.

" This will be hard, I have a hard time concentrating sometimes as it is."

Link continued to walk through the Lost Woods, any creatures who might be lurking had yet to show, hopefully the majority are nocturnal. Link then noticed something sprouting from one of the tree roots.

" A mushroom, isn't that what Malon was looking for? I wonder where she is anyway? Why am I even thinking about her?"

Link trail of thought was interrupted by a deep voice.

" So the boy finally leaves the Lost Woods. You took your sweet time."

Link looked up at where the voice had come from. " Moblins."

" Were here to kill ya." The second moblin spoke and then took a swing at Link with his club which Link avoided easily.

" That's the problems with you moblins, while you may have strength which most people would never match, it's no use to you if you can't hit the target."

" So the boy thinks he's smart. Well we'll show you." The first Moblin spoke, then swung at Link with his club. Again Link managed to avoid the attack and this time slash at the right shoulder of the attacker.

" Tell me, do you still feel confident?"

The moblin looked at the deep gash on his shoulder which was pumping out blood. Suddenly it began to glow and the wound healed up.

" What the! How did that happen?"

" You look surprised boy, well you should be, we ain't no normal type of moblin, were advanced, not only are we much stronger but we automatically heal all wounds."

This time the second moblin had a go at Link, Link managed to avoid being hit and slashed at the gut of the moblin, and just like the first one the wound healed itself.

" How am I ever gonna stop them if they heal themselves as soon as I've attacked?"

The First moblin decided to get in on the action again and went for Link, but also unsuccessful. Link then swung his sword and slashed at the moblins arm.

" When will you learn boy? You can't hurt us."

" no. there has to be a way, there is always a way, if only I understood magic."

This time the third moblin got involved and tried an attack on Link, which again Link managed to barely avoid by jumping and instinctively drove the master sword straight into the moblins head. Link withdrew the sword and the moblin collapsed.

" What? Impossible!" The first moblin shouted, " How could he?"

Link stood silently for a few seconds in case the moblin did come back to life. It didn't.

" Well it seems that I've found your area of weakness."

Link quickly disappeared of the other two.

" Well that's that. I'd better hurry and get to the next village before dark.


Gerudo Vally

" I don't believe it! I thought those moblins were supposed to be twice as strong."

" Well my king, I did try to explain that they weren't ready yet."

" Useless, all we've managed to figure out is that the hero of time is in fact more powerful right now than we expected, but I have a new plan."

" What would that be?"

" That red-headed girl who was with him in the forest, she knows something, I want you to tell my brothers to go after her, and tell them I want her back in one piece."

" Yes, my king."

The female gerudo quickly disappeared as the male went back to his chair.

" You better hope your not found girl, because I have many interesting plans for you."


This took a little longer than planned, but it don't really matter. Next chapter sees the return of Malon.
