"Stay out of this! You made the decision to leave and it's staying that way!" Urbosa sprung up and turned towards the source of the voice, it was dark and she was lost in an unknown place, it wasn't scary but rather frustrating.
"She's mine too, Riles. With her potential and my mind we'll be unstoppable." Urbosa froze at the name, Riles.
"Mom..." She uttered. The Strange man talking to her mother turned around to see her, before dragging his lips to form a terrifying smile.iik
"Speak of the devil, come to papa." Urbosa's knees felt weak, it was true she had no confirmed fear but this man, his voice, his face, it made her helpless.
"I said leave her out of this!" In a flash, her mother lunged at the man, to fend him off for a while to ensure her daughter's escape, her eyes filled with fury. "Urbosa run for- gh.."
Urbosa watched in horror as the fury drained from her eyes, following a scream of pain, "Gaahhh! How could you!" Her eyes traveled to the horror before her, a knife, a blood stained knife. The image in front of her suddenly became blurred.
"Come..." Those eyes made it's way up to that bloodcurdling smile, a face that could be burned into anyones memory no matter how fearless they were. "...to papa!"
"No!" She shot up from her bed in shock. Sweating bullets at breathing heavily, as though she had just run a marathon. "Not again..." Urbosa hit her head in annoyance "...why won't you go away!"
"Lady Urbosa! Is something wrong?" Said Irin as she stormed in after hearing the scream.
"I'm fine, I just... got a bit startled is all." Irin became a little less tense at those relieving words.
"Irin, what was it you came in here to do again?" Urbosa asked, desperate to get the gaurd out of her room.
"The chief would just like to remind you that you are not to leave your room without her consent, she would also like to see you right now in her chambers." Urbosa's eyes widened.
"I thought she just said the palace..." Irin gave her a sympathetic look.
"Sorry Lady Urbosa, but I'm just a messenger. She would like to see you after you are to get changed however." Urbosa frowned at the change of plan, how was she meant to... leave?
"Tell her, that I'm not allowed to leave my room." Urbosa stated smirking, using her own Mother's words against her.
Irin, approving of this statement, obediently nodded her head and rushed out the room.
"Not allowed to leave my room, give me a break. I didn't know that you were that pissed off." Urbosa flopped back down onto her bed, and tried not to doze off. She seemed to be having the same recurring dream for a few months now and she couldn't quite define the meaning of it. "It's probably just a nightmare."
Urbosa sat up from her bed and tried to plan out her day in the small confined space. *Knock Knock*
The sudden sound had pull her away from her thoughts.
"Who is it?" She asked in response.
"Your Mother." Urbosa frowned upon hearing who it was. Her mother was the last person she was willing to see. She had no choice but to come up with an excuse.
"I'm busy." A pathetic excuse at that.
"What could you possibly be doing?" Urbosa groaned.
"Something, maybe drowning in my own misery." She stated flatly.
"You didn't answer my question last night." Urbosa stayed quiet, that was when her Mother had stepped in without her approval. "Urbosa, what happened last night?"
"I don't recall asking for you to enter." Urbosa's flat tone resided whilst she turned away. Her Mother sighed.
"If you answer my question with honesty, then I will leave. I know that you don't like me being in your presence." Urbosa looked donwn at the floor upon her Mother's statement in guilt, maybe she had gone too far. For her Mother to have picked up on her antisocial behaviour towards her was heartbreaking.
"I'll tell you," She said in a small voice "but I ask that you do not bring this up again." Her Mother nodded her head in approval, eagerly awaiting an answer. "It was a Voe, he was the one who gave me the coat and told me which way to go." Her mother's face was still the same, stone cold. she was now making her way towards the hallway and ushered Urbosa to come with her, her daughter obliged and followed.
"Urbosa, you know you're not allowed to be in contact with Voe until you're at least 18 years of age." Urbosa cringed at her Mother's statement, out of all of this it seemed that the only thing her Mother wanted to do was start an argument. At times it had made her furious.
"So what if I did, I just talked to him is all! If you didn't want such a response then why asked such a thing!" She couldn't control it much longer, the rage had managed to slip out as pouring hot lava, ready to burn anything in it's path. Almost every gaurd was trying their hardest to not to move away from the two without being noticed ,"At least he was nice enough to do your job for you..." The anger seemed to be contagious, her Mother's ears became red with anger.
"Don't I do enough for you Urbosa! Besides, you were the one that ran away in the first place where was I supposed to know where you had gone." Urbosa's head fell to look at the floor, despite her Mother having a good point, she had an even better one.
"You should have come looking for me yourself." She spoke flatly leaving her Mother speechless, stunned, struggling to find out what to say leaving her deep in thought. -This is my chance- Urbosa thought -If I can just get a her to move slightly..-
"Chief!" Tokka suddenly came rushing towards the two, she looked panicked and shocked.
"What is it Tokka, can't you see I'm-"
"The Yiga clan are fast approaching, we need to act quickly!" Urbosa's Mother's eyes widened, The Yiga clan, who would have thought that they would be making bold moves so at such a fast pace.
"How many, from what direction?" She said managing to keep a calm tone.
"East ward, around 15 of them." Urbosa's Mother closed her eye's, trying to carefully format a plan.
Urbosa stayed attentive to their conversation, listening to every detail, trying to find something that would aid in her escape.
"Gather 20 of our finest troops and put them at the front line, the gaurds here at patrol will stand gaurd, don't charge until I arrive." Tokka nodded her head in response.
"What about the Voes?" She inquired, awaiting her reply. Urbosa's Mother raised an eyebrow.
"What Voes?" She asked, genuinely concerned on whether the Guerdo rule was being upheld, hand on the hilt of her sword.
"The ones outside the village ma'am." The chief just rolled her eyes, the Voes outside the border were mostly single middle-aged men looking to impress the Vai of the town. It was true that at most times they had ended up being an inconvenience to the Women instead of their significant others.
"Didn't we clear them off the week before? Why is it that they're so persistent?" Tokka just shrugged at the cheif's response however, still stayed alert.
"I take it we clear them off again." The chief nodded her head. Urbosa still stood behind the two who were in conversation, she couldn't help but think, -What could be their target if they were to attack so soon on such short notice?-
"Tokka," Urbosa's mother commanded the gaurd whist diverting her gaze to her daughter "Have Irin be Urbosa's personal gaurd whilst we are gone, I wouldn't want my daughter wandering off again." She commanded with a sense of pride along with a smirk to what she had done, Urbosa frowned in response. "Don't think you can get away that easily."
"I wasn't." Urbosa lied throught gritted teeth. Her mother's smirk just grew wider.
"I can tell when you're lying, little Vai. Now make off to your bedroom, Irin will be with you shortly." Urbosa now frowned at how she was being treated like a child, being teased like one too. Urbosa did as she was told, trying not to curse through her teeth.
As Urbosa approached her room she took note of the gaurd standing beside her door, it was Irin. She straightened her posture upon seeing the Lady Urbosa.
"Irin." Urbosa greeted, nodding her head whilst doing so. Irin stood up on full alert.
"Lady Urbosa, I-"
"I know Irin," Urbosa interupted "My mother has commanded you keep watch over me, theres no need to feel so on edge." Urbosa opened the door to her room upon her words, a question pondering her mind, "Irin?"
"Is something the matter, Lady Urbosa?"
"Has my mother, commanded that the whole 7 perimeter of my room be surrounded?" Irin looked at the young lady in confusion, why would she ask such a question? How could this information possiablly be useful to her in any way?
"Why would you like to be informed of this, my lady?" She inquired upon suspicion.
"I'm just curious," She said in rhe most innocent voice she could muster. Irin frowned wondering what to say, Urbosa was known for being quick witted and mischievous, she would hate to give away information that would contribute to a plan of some sort and a tiring lecture from the chief herself. Then again, maybe she was just curious and wanted to know.
"I'm afraid I wasn't informed on that front my lady, since I was set on to this position on such short notice I, wasn't filled in on all of the details." The best she could do was lie.
"I see." Urbosa said in disappointment, "Well, I appreciate your help." Irin nodded her head in recognition and jotled back to her original stance.
Urbosa entered though the door to her room and closed it, pondering about her current conversation. "Was it mother who had ordered her to say that. Surely this was premeditated." She wondered aloud whilst pacing around the room, suddenly a loud thud had emitted it's self thought her wardrobe making Urbosa jump. "That's... odd." The teen stated whilst slowly stepping towards her moonlight scamiter, the one her mother had given to her whilst she had the scamiter of the seven which ,in Urbosa's opinion, was much better than this weapon of choice.
"Ah hah!" Urbosa shouted whilst flinging the wardrobe door open, just to find that the coat a nice young man had given her had fallen off the hanger. "Oh, its just his coat." Urbosa picked it up carefully and patted it down in case it had gotten dirty some how. Whilst doing this, her mind had drifted off to the night before and the events that had occurred at that time. "Ruben..." She placed the coat back on her hanger and hung it back up before closing the wardrobe.
After doing so, she felt a sudden surge of adrenaline. It was like she needed to get out of this room as though it was a matter of life and death. She had to escape.
She sat down on the comfortable chair that her room provided before placing all of the possibilitys in place.
It may have taken many minutes, a few hours perhaps, before all of the pieces were in place. For this plan to carry out, she would need speed and timing. "The night shall be mine." Urbosa stated aloud, with a broad smile on her face
Soon after, her plan was in action, she was to where cotton clothes that weren't as revealing as her original attire, along with the coat and a tradition Gerudo gaurd's mask. Next was to set up a decoy in the middle of the room where the main event would take place. A sudden stray lightning bolt was to hit the decoy and Irin would come running in along with any other gaurds who had heard the blast. Then she would take the oppertunity of the lack of defense and an open door to leave. Since many of the gaurds were out in the battle so this should be easier.
And with a snap of her fingers, the plan had started. As expected, a half asleep Irin rushed into the room, spear in hand, expecting a fight, "Lady Urbosa!" She shouted in worry. Urbosa couldn't help but feel sympathy for her whilst she crept out from behind the door and knocked her on her head, hard enough to knock her out, before heading toward the entrance and shutting the door along with locking it behind her.
"Sorry, Irin." She apologized whilst running away. Taking her leave, she had to be stealthy, though there was a battle going on, gaurds would still be patrolling around the palace and chances are that they would report her to her mother. The last thing she wanted was a boring lecture that could drive anyone brain dead. Not long after, voices were heard.
"Did you hear, Lady Urbosa managed to run away yesterday, apparently it as far as the Gerudo Highlands." The voices had managed to get closer, Urbosa took refuge behind a giant plant.
"I heard different, that she had run as far as Faron's great escapade of trees." -It was Hyrule ridge, you pair of morons- Urbosa thought in frustration.
"Any how, it was a was such a bold move to make given her mother's morals." Urbosa edge slightly closer to the conversation, morals?
"Agreed, to think that one day, she would take over the throne if, Hylia forbid, that the chief would pass away so suddenly. What state would our town be in?" Urbosa frowned.
"Silence yourself! Do you have an idea of what you are saying!"" Urbosa calmed down slightly at these reasuring words and tensed a little less. A silence echoed out among the halls, before a sea of laughter was unleashed by the stray gaurds .
"You acctually had me believing that your response was genuine! Haha!" Urbosa's legs were quaking with anger of the this woman's fake response. "For we all know, that If she were to suddenly take over the village would be turned to, hmm how do I phrase this..."
"Horse shit, perhaps." The laughter only rose from that point before fading away into the halls, leaving Urbosa almost unable to contain her rage. -When I take over, the only horse shit will be your salary.- She thought before carefully coming out of her hiding place.
Urbosa looked toward the hallway in which the gossiping gaurds had gone, it was intriguing however she had a job to do, and it wasn't to be taken lightly.
"Not a gaurd in sight, did mother really leave two numb skulls on patrol?" She pondered quietly to her self before carefully advacing forward. She was yet to reach the exit of the palace, however, she had get across the barraks to be able to go through the nearest exit. And dispite commotion of a fight, there were still a fair handfull of them training whilst two of them had overlooked them, they were facing toward the only way out.
"Niomi, how long do you believe the seniors will be out for, it's already been 9 hours since they had first set out." Asked one of the younger trainees, who was around Urbosa's age. Urbosa had heard of a young trainee who had soared in physical combat and was given numerous amounts of praise for her talent, but she only heard bits and pieces of this.
"Kosha," Niomi whined in frustration "It's only been 6 hours, you may be skilled on the battle field but your patience betrays you." Niomi stated flatly, infuriating Kosha. So that was her flaw.
"Hey! Cheif said that I couldn't go into battle today because I'm too young, not because of that." Niomi lightly smiled at how effective her satement was, something that she didn't do very often.
"I didn't mention anything of the battle." The soft thuds of a bag of sand being punched could be faintly heard as Kosha took out her frustrations.
"It's not fair! It's so boring within the village, I want the oppertunity to explore further." Kosha sighed "Man, I wish I had the guts to stick up to the cheif like that, Lady Urbosa really is something else." Urbosa stayed o. gaurd this time around, despite this being a compliment, it could have just been false again. "...How I would like to meet her one day." Kosha stated in admiration.
"Although Lady Urbosa's confidence is unwavering, isn't she a bit mischievous? I mean, leaving the town for long periods of time, leaving the entire town in worry, speaking back to the chief..."
"So what if she's just 'a bit' mischievous! I believe her to be a good figure to follow, different to those boring old farts, she knows how to have fun." Niomi frowned whilst Ubosa was struggling to keep her smile from broadening
"Kosha! What-" Niomi was soon cut off by a bored Kosha .
"I know, blah blah blah, I've heard it all before. I'm going to get some hydromelon, you coming with me or are you going to sit her giving lectures all day?" Another sigh eminated from Niomi, another battle she could not win because her opponent was too frustrating to deal with.
"Fine, you win. When will you ever learn to keep your mouth shut you imbecile." Kosha frowned.
"I don't believe that I should be the one to shut my mouth." She stated whilst frowning, they wee soon at the exit and leaving the barracks whilst their laughter and conversation followed.
The barracks may have been short of two members, however there were still around four gaurds left that were blocking her way out.
-I may have to deal with them personally, unless they break off early whilst the others are still out fighting by some miracle- Urbosa sighed to herself before looking out at the situation. -Not very likely, it seems-
The passage was a large arc that lead put into the town and from where she was, she could have just run across in hopes of not being seen. "Fuck it." Urbosa uttered before jumping out of her hiding place and frantically running towards the exit.
The movement shocked the gaurds temporarily giving her a small oppertunity to give her a sence of which exit would be most appropriate. "East might be more applicable."
"Rouge! Stop this instant!" The two other gaurds shouted after herand they ran in her direction.
"East it is." Once making her decision, Urbosa ran in the direction that would most likely lead to the exit quicker. However the gaurds had weapons with long reach that had almost caught onto the rim of the coat Urbosa was wearing.
"In the name of the cheif we order you to stop this instant!" Urbosa tripped over a peice of the pavement that was sticking out, most likely due to poor craftsmanship. This had almost delayed her in terms of speed. She took a sudden left, almost making her slip and fall on her side.
- The east exit! I just need to take this turn then I'm-- Whilst Urbosa's thoughts were running around exitedly, she was yet to realize the obstical in her way. That being, "Where do you think you going?" Her own mother. "Urbosa." The strong arm of her mother had managed to grip onto the back of Urbosa's collar whilst she was making the turn that would lead to the east exit. She said nothing. "I asked you a question..." Hr voice grew angrier with every word that she spat.
Urbosa turned to look at her mother her eyes filled with both dissapointment, and embarrassment due to the fact that she was still able to be picked ip by her own mother, make that with one hand in front of the whole village.
"I- you..." The words barley came out, as though she was being choked. Her mother realesed her grip and allowed for the girl to fall to the ground with no support to keep her upright. It was then that her mother saw the coat that she was wearing.
"You tried to go back there, didn't you." A cold tone made its way to the surface, like an ice cube floating in the water. Urbosa didn't answer. "Answer me! You tried to go back, you wanted to see-"
"Enough." Urbosa's voice came with a tone that sounded powerful "Stop looking down on me." Her mother's mouth was agape. "When will you realise, that I'm no longer your's to protect, when will you realise!" Urbosa rose from her slumped position on the floor and into a confident stride. And right into her mother's face she spat. " When will you stop treating me like a mutt and more like a priority." Her mother gritted her teeth upon the disrespect she was receiving.
"You, Brat." a hand came racing Ubosa's way before 'Slap' It had made contact with the skin that resignated on her face.
Her mother had snapped.
