Clash of Time and Wind
Chapter 2: The Great Sword
As Link requested, Tetra hit anchor and scheduled for sailing again the next day. Link just started to fall asleep when he felt something under his pillow. He got up, eyes wide for the time being. He felt under his pillow. It was something sharp. Lifting his pillow, he saw a new sword. With it was a note in Miss Tetra's handwriting.
Dear Link,
Since you lost the Master Sword in the battle six months ago, I thought I'd give you one of our better swords. The Master Sword can't be recovered. Taking it from the head of Ganon's stone self will free him. I thought I'd make it up to you by passing on a swords handed down to me by my mother.
Yours Forever,
Princess Zelda
Link smiled at the sword. He took it out of its golden sheath. The handle was gold with a sapphire ruby in the center. On each upper side was a red ruby. Engraved in one flat side of the sword were plenty of Emerald Diamonds and on the other flat side were more emeralds but one space engraved the writing: The Great Sword.
Link looked at it was awe. He expected it to be heavy, but the contrary, it was quite light. He felt some kind of feeling for the treasure. It looked richer than that found in a chest. This was what he called real treasure, not what Tetra and her crew was typically searching for.
Another knock on the door went and it opened the Miss Tetra herself, "I was just wondering if you found… oh!"
"Hey, thanks Tets," Link said, smiling tiredly.
Tetra blushed, "Don't call me 'Tets,'" Tetra said, smiling red. "It's 'Tetra.'"
"It was… kind of you," Link said, looking closely at her.
"Don't be silly," Tetra said. She was still red with a combination of pride, elation, and blush. She left the cabin, closing it softly behind her.
Link felt weird talking to Miss Tetra just then. Somehow, he thought the Great Sword was a stronger than the original Master Sword, but where did it get its power from? Where did the pirates even get it? He fell asleep thinking about that.
