Link

"That lynel is mine," Link told his huge black horse, Storm, as they rode along the treacherous mountain path. "You're going to help me get his sword." The fearless horse whinnied in approval. Storm loved running things over with his huge size, and so Link had brought him to run over a lynel.

"There he is," Link said, pointing towards the monster. Its lower half was that of a horse, but it was strong and muscular. Its head looked like a lion's with a flowing silver mane. It had two arms above its front two hooves, and the arms looked vaguely humanoid. They were far larger than any Link had ever seen, and they were the same white color as the rest of it. Strapped to its back was a sword as big as Link himself. The monster was holding a bow, the arrow nocked in it sparking with electricity.

Link slapped the reins and Storm ran forward at full speed. The gargantuan horse was just as big as the lynel, who was taken by surprise. Storm kicked the beast hard with his hooves, while Link hacked away with his magical blade, the Master Sword. The lynel grunted in pain, backed up, and regained its composure. It put its bow away, drawing its sword instead for some close combat. As Storm wheeled around and charged again, the lynel readied its sword. Storm charged again, and the lynel swung its sword sideways. Link ducked underneath the blade as if he was playing a deadly game of limbo. He threw his sword out towards the lynel, and allowed Storm's momentum to slash at the beast's torso. The lynel snarled, much more annoyed now, and roared fiercely, sending a strong blast of wind swirling around it. Link drove Storm outside the blast of wind, just in time for the lynel to slam its sword into the ground, a huge dome of fire exploding around it. It just barely singed Storm's tail, and the huge horse shook its head in irritation. Storm quickly turned around again, giving Link a clear shot at the lynel with his bow. Link took aim hurriedly, and fired his arrow. It missed the monster's head, which Link had been aiming for, but hit the lynel in the flank. It grunted again, pulled its sword out of the ground, and turned to face Link and his horse. Storm rushed forwards again, and Link lashed out with the Master Sword. This time, the lynel quit attacking and easily parried every single blow Link thrust at it. Link stopped his relentless striking for just a second, and it was the lynel's turn. Link struggled to block the beast's heavy blows, so Storm backed off, giving his rider a moment to breath.

It didn't last long. The lynel growled, and surged forward, desperately grasping at Link as if trying to grab him. Link raised his shield quickly, just barely managing to block the lynel's hand and sword. The lynel didn't hesitate to begin slicing back and forth with his sword. Link parried the first one, but the second blow knocked him off balance.

"Run, Storm!" Link yelled, struggling to sit back up in the saddle. Storm took off, but not fast enough, and the lynel's third slash blew right past Link's shield and into his gut. Link cried out in pain, and slumped over, immediately falling unconscious. Blood began to gush out of the wound. Storm heard his rider's cry, and whinnied loudly. The horse turned around and began running from the lynel, who didn't give chase. Storm galloped as fast as he could towards the nearest town, only hoping he could get there fast enough.
