This is a rough draft. i may come back and adjust, add, remove, or change but this is the basic body of the story i am making.
Chapter 3
The prince sees Link on his horse, leaving a dense wood, getting farewells from the woodland creatures.
The vision fades to Link entering Kakariko Village, a safe haven built by the Shiekah for anyone who needs it. Everyone did their part, either working the fields or running the stores. Link helped a farmhand recollect his cattle, and fight off wolves. The farm owner offered Link to stay with him and be fed, he turned him down. The farm owner insisted on rewarding the young knight, so introduced him to the village elder, who then taught link a Shiekah martial art.
The vision fades to Link in Hyrule field, vast greenland that stretched from each location in the center of Hyrule. Wildlife flourished in this area, flocks of birds scattered as he rode his horse through them. Wild horses rode beside him for a time.
The vision fades to link at a rest point, a gerudo town at the edge of the desert. A typical oasis; Exotic birds flew to drink from the small pond and to eat the insects in the palm trees. Links horse drank from the pond alongside a camel. Link received supplies from a small shop. He fed his horse, and they were on their way.
The vision fades to link being attacked by a group of marauders, he fought them off. He lost his horse and the supplies, but he had his weapons and his clothing. He brought green fabric from his pouch, tore the green fabric and fashioned it into a hooded cowl to block the sun. He soldiers onward.
The vision fades to Link on the ground, exhausted. He is picked up by a hooded figure, throws him upon their camel, and head toward Gerudo Town.
The vision fades to Link laid upon a cot, he rouses to the sounds of the busy town. A middle aged female gerudo hands him a dusty bottle. Link is quick to grasp it and drink from it, the thick blue liquid spills on his face as he tries to drink as much of it as possible. He notices other cots in the small room, one young Gerudo female with sores on her face, a Rito with bare patches where his feathers, should be. Link figures he is in a sort of sick-house. Links discovers his weapons are gone, confiscated.
Guards make their way into the small room, begin questioning Link why he was found close to Gerudo town with a weapon and shield from Hyrule castle. He explains himself, says he is the hero of prophecy. They don't believe him, say the prince is the hero of prophecy. He insists on seeing the Prince. They take him to the fortress. Along the way, they question him more informally. Ask him about his training in Hyrule Castle. One young guard very playfully challenges his Hylian skills. They spar in the throne room, Link wins rather easily against the young and inexperienced soldier. A small group appears to watch Link fight again, and again. More and more people join the crowd, and then the visions end for him.
Link sees a vision of prince Rofod as a young child. The prince, walking through the streets with the Twinrova sisters, hears a cry for help down an alleyway. He rushes to the sound. He stands at the end of the alley, yells at a young female gerudo mugging a male zora merchant. The Gerudo female sees the Twinrova sisters behind the young prince and runs. Young Rofod, thinking he scared her off and saved the zora merchant, is quite prideful of his good deed. He insists on helping the zora male, he and the Twinrova sisters walk him back to his stand. The stand is rundown, made of cheap rotten wood and town cloth. The prince gives him a better location closer to the castle, no other merchants were yet permitted to station in this spot. He gave the man better materials for him to build a new stand as well.
The vision transitions to the prince a little older, on his throne. The guards bring in a female gerudo in chains, arrested for stealing and assault.
The whites of her eyes glistened and sparkled. A side effect of being addicted to fairy dust, a local drug that consisted of the grotesque method of grinding the wings of fairies into a powder and dusting ones eyes with it. Fairies, if handled with respect, could heal the wounds of anyone. But if you could take the dust from their wings, it has other effects, some hallucinatory.
Rofod recognizes her right away. She is the same gerudo female that harassed the young zora merchant when the prince was a child.
She stood tall, and said "I dont regret doing what i must to live. I have nothing and no one to protect me, just myself."
The prince sat up straight and responded "I respect your pride, but i see through your strength. All who choose to call the desert home are under my protection. Take her to the sick-house, purify her system of any illness, give her a bag of rupees, and a place to call home in the town."
The vision transitions to the Prince growing up being taught by shiekah nomads, gerudo scribes and teachers. Not trained in combat, but he has learned fire magic and levitation magic from the Twinrova sisters, the court magisters, the last thing Link sees before waking up.
The two heroes wake up, having seen into eachothers souls, somehow recognize eachother from millennia past. They shake hands and introduce themselves properly. Upon contact, their left hands glow. The Triforce of Courage on links hand and the triforce of Wisdom on Rofods.
"Why do I have the triforce of wisdom? Such a great power usually stays with the royal family of Hyrule." Prince Rofod asked.
"Surely, it chose him because he is to be a wise ruler, right sister?" Koume said, with a wink.
Kotake, twirling a small flame between her long boney fingers, said "He is the son of a wise Queen, its not that surprising. She would have loved to have seen you grow up to be such a benevolent and caring leader. Young prince, you now have an even greater responsibility on your shoulders. One of the greatest powers flows through you now."
Rofod and Link make their way down to the streets, talking together like old friends. They were sharing about their favorite childhoods treats when they walked up to Prince Rofods favorite fruit stand.
"My good prince!" Shouted the owner of the fruit stand. He was a Zora. Fish-people of a bluish complexion, they had long thin fins on their forearms and calves. The back of their heads were elongated ending with a short fin. The harsh environment of the Gerudo desert forces the Zora to wear special garments filled with water that allows them to stay cool. "What can i get for you, my prince?"
The prince enjoyed this stand the most. "I'll get a watermelon, and a banana for my new friend please."
"Here you go, my prince!" He handed the fruit to the prince with a smile.
The two heroes enjoy the fruit on their walk, then Link notices the dojo owned by the elder Gerudo he fought earlier. They walked in and introduced themselves to the owner. The elder, master of a Gerudo martial art, insists on teaching link the ancient technique.
Prince Rofod walks outside and across the street to the sick-house, where there was a middle-aged gerudo female working. "I want to thank you for taking care of our Hylian hero friend." Said the prince.
She bowed her head. "Of course, my prince. I wouldn't be in the position to help others if you had not given me the chance. Instead, would be in a worse situation as any of these poor souls."
"You have used your second chance well, Madam Healer. Im glad i found you in that alleyway when we had first met."
"And I as well, my Prince." She bowed again, and turned to attend the afflicted.
She puts both hands on a small wound of a traveler, and uses some small magic to heal the wound closed.
"You know healing magic, Madam Healer?" The prince asked.
"I learned from the previous Master Healer when i was a novice, my prince. I could teach you, It is quite simple if you have the mind for magic."
Link learns all he can in the brief time he trained with the Gerudo martial artist, but he knows he shouldn't be distracted. He goes out to find Prince Rofod when he bumps into a Gerudo scout in the street.
"Where is the-the Prince? He must be inf-f-f-formed of the situation at the b-b-border!" The scout nearly shouted the question.
Prince Rofod runs out of the sick-house, hearing the commotion. "What's the problem?"
The scout bows to the prince, then explains. "The d-Darkness is past the border, my p-p-p-prince! It has taken a bordertown!"
"Get my royal guard, we will have a scouting party for the guards and merchants at that town." The prince commanded.
"B-b-but prince Rofod, it is too d-d-dangerous! I barely made it out al-l-live!" The scout shuddered uncontrollably.
"All who choose to call the desert home are under my protection." He stood tall and proud, a gentle breeze happened to roll through, blowing through his hair and cape. Link thought the moment was cheesy enough to draw nearby rats.
The scout stood at attention, saluting the motivational prince. "YES MY PRINCE!" He sprinted towards the fortress to rally the royal guard.
"We should collect your gear, if we are to be of any help." Said the prince.
They enter the barracks, built of sandstone like the fortress but less intricate. "How can i help you my prince?" The Gerudo guard in command asked. The prince explained the situation to her. Her eyes went wide. "The chest with his effects are right down that hall in my quarters, my prince!" She turns to Link, "Young hero, if you are to battle alongside my prince, take the weapon mounted above my cot! It was used to protect the Queen before she passed."
They collect links gear from the barracks, royal gerudo guard gives link a spear, gives link horseback/ camelback combat training with spears and sword. The prince and hero with a platoon of royal guards make their way to the edge of the shadow. Half the group of guards volunteer to go in, to scout the area. They do not come out. The rest of the group go in, After a time of waiting, Link and Rofod decide go in. They wander through the mist, and hear a voice in the air around them. A shade listing around them.
"Where are my people?" Rofod yells at the shade.
Links attacks go right through the floating shadow, it grows and dissolves into the darkness around them.
