Legend of Zelda: Akavir War

Chapter 7

Link and his three companions walked ahead of the troop. It had been nearly a month, and they had gone halfway to tear, but progress was slow in the massive swamps. Link glanced at the Argonian Mystery-Mercenary, Eats-His-Book. Eats had on an Obsidian long sword, and a suit of Orcish armor. He walked along, taking in every inch of the terrain and commiting it to memory, doing so so quickly that all who could tell these things were amazed. Something told Link his super-senses weren't run-of-the-mill Argonian senses. They had been enhanced somehow.

Link, over the past three weeks, had delved into the mysteries of the Triforce of Courage, and had unlocked abilities that he didn't know was possible. Truthfully, he was ashamed for not attempting to solve the Triforce's puzzle in his hours of study in the King's library. The secrets were so easy to find, if you knew there was anything to find. Many spells beyond Zelda, beyond even Ganondorf himself, were now at his disposal. He had mastered telepathy and Telekenisis, along with many healing, offensive, and defensive abilities. Link knew that the only way to discover all the secrets the Triforce held, he had to get to Akavir. He didn't know why, but he knew he had to.

Halfway to Tear, Link's elf-ears, now enhanced by the Triforce, heard a group of footsteps, along with rustles in the trees. Link held up his hand, and signaled for a halt, and for silence. He drew his sword, signaled to Eats, the only person whose senses could match his own, and scouted ahead. He looked out, and saw a group of stange man-apes running and coasting through the trees to the Northwest. He and Eats snuck back, and explained quietly to the others, and asked what to do.

"If they are heading northwest," the Nerevarine said, "then they are probably heading to Mournhold, the capital of Morrowind. I say we kill them."

"I concur," Ammas said, "If Mournhold falls, Akavir will have an entire Nation. They must be stopped. Mournhold was weakened by my master's... exploits. Unintentionally of course."

"Okay. Then we kill them." Link said. Link stood at the head of his troup, drew his sword and charged.

Link's elite troops broke through the bush at the ill-organized Akaviri, some Tang Mo ape-men. The enourmous force quickly had them surrounded. Link saw the opportunity to test his new power. He phased in and out, appearing behind the confused beasts and slaying them one-by-one. He located a captain, and rushed forward. He stabbed, catching his sword between the ape's axe and his body. Slashed down, severing it's hand, and kicked it, hard. The force of the kick sent it slamming fatally against a tree.

The apes were being decimated. The ten-thousand apes fell quickly against the nine hundred Hylians and thier four officers. Link was amazed at how much more powerful he had become since he had unlocked the unfathomable powers of the Triforce. The rush of battle paling besides the rush from the next realization: he had barely scratched the surface. The battle was so easy. Link brimmed with confidence that he would be home in Hyrule victorious by Triforce Day.

After a mere hour, the Tang Mo who were to raze Mournhold lay dead. The bodies were piled in a clearing and burned. The Hylian casualties were ten. Link built, alone, a pyre of honor for his fallen comrades apart from the pile of burning, stinking Akaviri carcasses. He himself lit with magic a ceremonial torch, whitch was then placed upright in the ground beside the pyre after setting it ablaze. The whole group engaged in deep prayer for the length of time until the pyre burned itself out. Link then took the golden torch and shattered it. He put the shards and the ashes in urns to be returned to the families.

Five days later, The Elite Hylian army reached Tear. The Imperial army, a force of eighty thousand men, was stationed outside. The Emperor's secretary gave Link the scant details known of the geography of Akavir. Link realised how valuabe Eats' abilities would be. He could help create a map of Akavir for the first time in Human and Elven history. The Imperial Navy would bring them over in one week. During this week, Link allowed his men free roam ,as long as they stayed in the camp or the city.

Link gathered the men before allowing them to roam. He had something to say.

"Men!" Link announced to his troops, "In one week, we leave for Akavir, to face the most dire threat this world has seen since Ganon!" His men stared, waiting for the speech.

"We will go to destoy this threat. He is Tosh Raka, the Tiger-Dragon Emperor. The apes who killed our ten brothers were in his service. We will fight, and we will bring him as much pain as he brought us!"

The Elite Hylians cheered.

"He plans to conquer the world. He plans to turn us into his slaves! Think of home, for a moment. Think of your family. He would burn our home, and enslave those we love! We will fight to stop him, and I am willing to die to stop him! We go to Akavir, to save our homes, and to save our world!"

The Elite Hylians erupted in a chorus of cheers that echoed into the fading light. They all had something to protect.

All, save one.

Eats-His-Book, standing alone, cloaked in the shadows, heard the speech, and was unmoved. He did not fight to protect. He fought for revenge. The revenge he would inflict for his two Tsaesci friends was dwarfed by his own personal Vendetta...

Thats chapter 7. Eats is getting more mysterious by the chapter.
