The Pirate Prince
Chapter 6: Reunions
Midna crossed her arms as she silently counted the different crates. Talon hefted another crate and placed it with the others.
"There, eight crates of Lon-Lon Milk." Said Talon, proudly.
"There's seven." Said Midna, turning to look at Talon.
The old man turned and counted them and visibly deflated when he counted seven instead of eight.
"Forgive me, ma'am, I'll get the other crate." Said Talon, turning to get the last crate.
"No need." Said Midna, before turning to Alfonzo, "Get the last crate for him, he's worked hard enough."
Alfonzo nodded and grabbed the last crate and placed it with the others.
"Oh, T-thank you." Said Talon, "You needn't have done that."
Midna rolled her eyes, "Talon, you're nearly eighty years old, it's not healthy for someone of your age to constantly carry crates that have twenty-five full bottles of milk in them."
Talon chuckle slightly, "Malon tells me the same, if she were here, I'd have been put in a chair by now."
"Where is Malon?" Asked Midna, looking around for the red head.
"She's at the market looking for a Bull, seeing as the last one caught some disease and had to put down." Said Talon, frowning at how he had to get a full stock of cows in as all of his previous had gone the same way as the bull, "Ingo is tending to the new cows now and filling up as many bottles as possible."
The door suddenly flung open and Link rushed in and promptly hid behind Midna. How the scene unfolded was a surprise to everyone. A short, blonde haired girl entered the milk bar and spotted Link. Grabbing an empty glass she hurled it at Link, who ducked behind Midna again.
"A year and a half and all you say is 'Bollocks'!" Screamed the girl, prompting Alfonzo to try and restrain her. Try being the operative word, as the next anyone knew, Alfonzo was one the floor clutching is balls.
"Ex-girlfriend I presume?" Asked Midna, looking at Link, who was white as a sheet.
"Worse, she's my sister." Said Link, looking terrified.
Midna looked at the girl hurling glasses at the various people who tried to get between her and Link, Alfonzo still writhing on the floor in pain, while a Sheikah woman made her way up behind her. Looking at the girl, Midna could see a relation. Which brought one question to the front of her mind.
"What did you do?" Asked Midna, looking down at the cowering man that hid a courageous Captain.
"I wish I knew." Said Link, before a shoe hit him in the face.
"ARYLL!" Yelled the Sheikah Woman, finally restraining the girl.
Link got up off the floor holding his face, as blood ran from his nose, Talon quickly evicted any people who weren't part of the affected group. The Sheikah woman grabbed two chairs and placed them facing each other and made the girl, Aryll, sit on one of them. A third member to Aryll's party appeared, another blonde who had her hand holding onto a pendent shaped like the Tri-Force that hung from her neck.
Link then tried to slip out of the door, only to be stopped by the Sheikah woman grabbing hold of his ear. Midna idly wondered if the woman was Link's mother.
Link was then forced to sit on the chair opposite of his sister.
"Talk. Now." Said the Sheikah woman, folding her arms. Alfonzo hauled himself off the floor, his face riddled with pain. It was then Midna remembers that Alfonzo had been shot in the groin three months back, so the pain of having his jewels knocked would've been doubled by that still healing wound.
Aryll glared at her brother, who looked anywhere but Aryll.
"You left." Said Aryll, quietly.
The next moment, both of them had suddenly broken down and were hugging each other. Midna looked at the Sheikah woman and the other blonde. The Sheikah frowning and the Blonde having a look of pure confusion.
"Am I the only one who's lost right now?" Asked the Blonde, raising her hand slightly.
"No, Tetra, you're not." Said The Sheikah woman, who was still frowning.
Link and Aryll started babbling in what seemed to be Gerudo, which only lead to more confusion.
Everyone went quiet before Link wiped his eyes and said with a sudden accent that somehow suited him, "Midna, meet the newest crew members, Impa, Tetra and my sister."
"Well that wasn't at all weird." Said Tetra, the look of astonishment on her face.
Alfonzo looked sideways at Impa and held out his hand, "Nice to meet you."
"Hi." Said Impa, shaking his hand.
Midna narrowed her eyes as she scrutinised 'Tetra'. The girl was clutching hold of the Tri-Force Pendent and looking around nervously.
Link stopped catching up with his sister and turned to Impa, "You said Hyrule Castle had been attacked."
"It came out of nowhere, Three of the Colossi started rampaging." Said Impa, "From what I can tell, both the King and Queen are dead, and the Princess has been hidden away."
Link frowned, before leaning forwards, "There have been rumours of Ventus attacking passing ships, despite being the gentler of his kind."
Link's shirt started smoking, prompting him to pull it off, making a baby dragon fall out.
"Volga, we talked about this." Grumbled Link, not noticing that Tetra had a blush on her face.
"Link." Said the Dragon hatchling, starting to fly around the room.
"Volvagia, get down." Snapped Link, trying and failing to grab hold of the hatchling.
The hatchling giggled as Link tried to catch it, chanting his name over and over.

The Black Knight stood next to the Dark One, while the latter glared down at the quivering man.
"I told you to not let the boy out of your sight." Said the Dark One, his voice echoing slightly in his helmet, "I thought you posing as that fool, Rodrick, would've given you time to gain his trust before bringing him to me."
"M-my liege, I offered him a choice, to come with me or to die, there is no way he's still alive." Said the man, his pale complexion shining with sweat.
"You know what to do." The Dark One said to the Black Knight.
The Black Knight was a possessed suit of Dark Nut Armour, which had been stolen from the Gerudo, some believed that it held the corpse of a dead Gerudo King. As the suit of armour raised its sword up, the pale man shouted.
"I know where to find him if he's still alive!" Exclaimed the man, quivering in fear.
"Go on..." Growled the Dark One, leaning forwards in his new throne. Hyrule Castle lit up with lightning.
"I-I know where I left him, if he's not there then he wouldn't be far." Pleaded the man, looking at the Dark One.
"And where did you leave him?" Asked the Dark One, lacing his gloved fingers together.
"J-just south of eastern peninsula, there's a small settlement a short way in land." Said the pale man, before the Dark One just waved his hand, causing the suit of armour to swing its blade down, embedding it in the man's head.
"The boy obviously lives." Said the Dark One, getting off of his throne, "He needs to be dead in order for Ganon to be truly revived."
The man was quiet for a moment before turning to the Black Knight, "Rebonok, haven't Two of the missing colossi been found?"
Rebonok was quiet before speaking, his voice colder than ice and completely lifeless, "Aye, Crepusculum and Spiritum."
"Those two were found months ago, what of Orbis and Praeteritum?" Demanded the Dark One, impatiently.
"They have eluded us, my liege." Reported Rebonok.
"How? One's a giant man with a hammer and another is a giant rabbit!" Bellowed The Dark One, his eyes glowing with rage.
"It is believed Orbis has fled to another land, and Praeteritum has retreated into the Sacred Realm." Said Rebonok.
"You're dismissed." Said the Dark One, after a few moments. After Rebonok had left, the Dark One turned and faced a woman chained up in the corner of the room, "Does it frighten you, my sweet, that the Dark Lord of all will be returning, or that the blood of the Goddess reborn and the Chosen Hero will be used to strengthen him?"
The woman was silent, staring at the floor, before the man lost his patience and grabbed her by the hair.
"Your master asked you a question, or do you want to be…broken again?" Sneered the man, as the tear filled eyed of Queen Hilda looked up at him.
A/N; Yes, I know, long time no update, but here it is. Two new colossi, Orbis and Praeteritum and Hilda is still alive, I didn't know this and I'm writing the damn thing.
