"Alright, so what's the big plan again?" Link asked Talim. They both had been planning the whole day and it was now night. The full moon was out this night and a gentle wind blew across the land while Link and Talim went over the plan once more.
"Fine, but this is the last time" Talim replied with a sigh. "Since its now night, the shard has let its control off my parents for now. All we basically need to do is go in, steal the shard and run!"
"Sounds good, but sounds a bit too simple"
Link looked out the window of Talim's hut. A small whiff of the pile of animal carcasses made him gack.
"I'm afraid to ask how that found its way there…"
Talim looked out the window to see what Link was looking at. The smell said enough and she stepped back.
"Well…" she started. "Since my parents are possessed by the shard, it makes them…kill animals for 'sacrifices'…I'm glad they didn't get hold of my bird…"
"You own a bird?"
"Yes, Alun. I sent Alun away after my parents were possessed by the shard. I didn't want them to kill Alun like they did with the farm animals…"
"So I'm guessing that your parents won't let go of the shard without a fight?" Link asked. Talim just slowly nodded her head.
"We will have to fight, but promise you won't hurt…or kill them, please?"
Link nodded. "Of course. We'll just grab the shard and run"
"Alright then. Follow me…"
Talim grabbed her things and walked out of the hut. Link gathered his belongings and followed.
SO BASICALLY THEY WALK OUT, TALIM LEAD LINK TO THE OUTSIDE WALL OF HER PARENT'S HUT
The light wind from before picked up and was now a small, but strong gust. Random articles of light weight blew across the village. Talim and Link were up against the wall of the hut, Link waiting for the green light from Talim.
(I just hope that we make it out of this with no bloodshed…)
"Okay…let's go now…" Talim whispered. She walked slowly and carefully into the house. Link followed.
The inside of the hut was dark and had somewhat of a moist atmosphere to it. Link could hear the faint breathing of two people.
(Must be her parents…)
There were two figures on the floor. One Link recognized as Talim's mother due to the shape. He looked at her father's sleeping form and saw an eerie red glow shining from a pendant around his neck.
(The shard…)
Link looked at Talim. She gave a curt nod and with that, Link slowly made his way to get the shard. As he kneeled down by Talim's father, he noticed something in his hands. Link paid little attention to that and continued to try to get the shard. Gently, he picked up the small string around his neck, and slowly drew his Razor sword to cut the string.
(Steady…steady…)
Suddenly a red flash broke from the shard. The father's eyes shot open and swung at Link with the object in his hand, which Link saw was a sword. Link jumped back and saw the father get up. The mother also got up as well and the red light from the shard showed their faces. Only thing was that both of their eyes were a glowing red and they were giving off a red aura.
Talim's father looked like a tall, old looking but very muscular man. He had short black hair, brown eyes, brown skin darker than Talim's and a very stern looking face. He was dressed in they typical tribal look that Link suspected. He wore beige tunic with a white undershirt, beige pants and brown boots. His clothes were a bit bloodstained from the animal "sacrifices".
Talim's mother was a fair size and fit looking woman. She had long black hair in a single braid that went down to her waist, eyes just like Talim's and same skin tone. Like her husband, she was wearing a beige tunic, but no shirt underneath. She also had on a beige skirt that went to her knees and brown boots. Dangling from her ears were two gold earrings, each shaped like a blowing wind.
Talim shakily drew her shoulder blades. "They've woken…"
Link gave Talim a reassuring shake on her shoulder before putting his Razor sword away and drawing his Master Sword and Hylian shield.
"Don't worry, I won't harm them. And I'm sure that you won't either"
Link heard Talim give a nervous gulp. He turned and saw Talim's mother pick up a spear. Link started to slowly walk towards her father. The father seemed to give a low growl before stepping toward Link, which startled the two a bit.
(That shard really has them taken…)
From the corner of his eye Link saw Talim go for her mother. He then turned back to her father, who shot at Link with a stab. He blocked it with his shield, redirecting the blow. Link took this opening and slashed at the sword handle the father was holding. But the shard reacted quickly and the father spun around, blocking the slash. Link was suddenly sent flying back by a ball of red energy shot for the father's free hand. Link was on one knee and clutching his chest. That attack really hurt!
(Damn it…that shard has power for something that small…)
The father shot another blast at Link, who blocked it with his shield but was sent skidding back. Link groaned as he got up. Before he could see his opponent, Link just barely blocked another blast with his shield that sent him right against the wall of the hut. He hit the wall with a 'thud' and slid down. Talim's father started for Link's body, sword raised to deliver the finishing blow.
(This would be easier if I could just hurt him…but I can't, I promised Talim)
Suddenly a blue light shone and Link's arms and weapons were glowing with a blue aura. Link felt revitalized and quickly got up. He heard a familiar voice echo in the back of his head.
Remember…we've granted you the power of purification. Don't let a power such as that go to waste Hero of Time
Link smiled at hearing Naryu's voice. He gripped his Master Sword with both of his hands stabbed forward. Now to the normal human this would look totally stupid, since Talim's father was two yards away, but the surprise was that a blue flame shot from the blade, shooting right through Talim's father. He let out a scream in pain before the red aura of the shard faded and he fell to the ground. At the same time Talim's mother also fainted. The blue aura left Link's weapons and the both rushed over to Talim's parents. They set them both on the floor side by side. They were out cold, but still breathing, which made Talim give a smile of relaxation.
"Mother…father…thank goodness it's over…" Talim whispered to herself while hugging her parents sleeping forms. Talim's mother gave a cough before slowly opening her eyes.
"Talim…my daughter is that you?"
Talim's eyes went wide with happiness and Link saw tears forming in her eyes. Link saw her father wake up as well.
"What…Talim, what's going on?" he groaned. Talim hugged her parents closer, tears rolling down her face. Link got up and started for the door.
(I should let her have a moment with her parents…)
Link looked around and saw the shard on the ground. He picked it up and put it away. Link then walked out the door of the hut. He gave a sigh as the wind strongly blew at him, forcing him to hold his cap in place. He started to hear a new voice this time.
The three Goddesses speak highly of you Link…I'll be keeping watch over you through the priestess…
The fierce wind died down. Link did a double take in his head over what just happened.
(The wind just spoke to me…that's new…)
"You, Link, may I have a word with you?" A male voice said.
Link turned and saw Talim and her parents standing in the hut doorway. Talim's father was looking at Link with scanning eyes. Link started towards them and Talim met him right before he got to them.
"I told them what's going on. We'll be leaving right away after they talk to you!" She said with happiness in her voice. She ran off back to her hut and Link met up with her parents. The father let out a greeting handshake.
"Greeting Link. I'm Sanput. This is my wife, Lidi" he said nodding at Talim's mother "Talim has told us much about you"
Link took the handshake, nodding at them.
"Glad to meet you both" he replied.
"We know Talim is rushing to leave so we'll make this quick" Lidi said. "Talim's explained to us the whole situation and we both agree this is a noble and courageous task you both are taking"
"Getting to the main point" Sanput spoke up. "We only have one thing to ask of you"
(What could that be?)
Sanput took Link's hand and gripped it tightly. "You seem like a good man Link. I thank you for freeing me and my wife from that accursed thing's control. I trust that you'll take care of my daughter since I know I won't see her again"
"Won't see her again?" Link started to say. "But you don't-"
"Keep her safe" Lidi said, not caring that she interrupted Link. "Protect her for us and make her happy. You'll make a great son in law when the time comes"
Link slipped out of Sanput's grip and looked at the two in shock.
"Wha…what?" he stuttered while he felt his face grow hot. "You must be confused, I don't want to-"
"Don't worry, even if we won't see you, the wind will tell us" they both said. Just as Link was about to say something back he felt somebody take his arm. He saw Talim with that same brown sack over her back and a smile on her face.
"C'mon Link let's go!"
"But Talim wait your-"
Before Link could finish Talim took off in a sprint, almost dragging Link behind her. Talim's parents laughed as they ran out of the village, the sun rising over the plains.
