chapter 11

yep..been awhile...yeah kinda went through a brain cramp and got stuck...

As night feel on the small town of Ordon I quietly crept out of link's house...or at least tried to anyway..but luckily he was a very very heavy sleeper. As i traveled up to the ranch, something didn't feel right, it felt like someone was constatly keeping there eyes on me, of course acting as a fight or flight response from my brain.(oh so scientific) I of course ran till i saw the lights of the ranch. Of course Jesse was there waiting for me with Artanix sleeping soundly. As i approached i noticed that Artranix eyes where somewhat open so doing what I always like to do. I walked closer to him and well basically poked him right in between his eyelids and getting his eye. Of course he didn't aprove of that very much and next thing you know I'm underneath one of his claws, and Artranix staring at me.

"Now may i ask why you did that?" he asked his voice sounding strained as if he was trying to control himself from yelling.

"Well... i saw your 2 big eyes squinting so i decided to make you stop since i know you were spying..now my I ask why?"

"well if you must know" he started his voice sounding gruff "i wanted to know what he was doing here" as he glared at jesse as he stepped back a couple of feet.

"oh..well that is what you get for spying" i said as Artranix let his paw off me. I quickly got off from the ground and brushed off some dust and dead grass from my hair and clothes "and besides its not like we are going to get into trouble or anything"

"or maybe trouble will find you" Artranix said as he sat down and stared into the sky

"what do you mean"

"I mean that even if you try not to get into trouble no matter what, it will find you"

"oh yeah..sure, and im the boogie man"

"boogie man?!" Artanix said confused "who is this boogie man"

"he...or should i say "it" is a creature that apparently lives in your closet...and before you ask..no its not real"

"well it doesn't matter what is real and what isn't, what matters is that you must not go out to wherever you are going"

"since when did i say i was going somewhere"

"you didn't but i know you are thinking about doing it and if you think you are going out there..."

"oh please" i said as i cut him of "don't start giving me a lecture...you remind me of my mother"

Apparently Artranix did take that do well, just for a fact that he was breathing heavilly and smoke was coming out of his nostrils.

"now you listen to me" he growled as his eyes had a tint of red in them "i dont care where you go i just want you to be carefull and to watch out for shikrah."

"shikrah?...whos that?"

"that would be the dragon i encounter a couple of days ago" Artanix said as he calmed down

"oh the one that basically beat you up"

"she didn't beat me up, she just got the best of me"

"hold on hold on...did you say she."

"yes why"

"oh no reason...i was just wondering if i got this right...so your saying that you got beat up...by a girl dragon"

and of course he didn't like that to much either but this time he kept his cool...or at least tried, even though that red tint was still in his eyes.

"well however you say it is fine with me...just promise me that if you see her contact me immediatly...promise"

"i promise" i said as i got on my horse and rode of with Jesse following.

by the time we got out of the forest the sun was already rising as we galloped into the open field. I noticed something...a small black dot in the direction of the sun's rise.

"What is that?" i said as i pointed toward the direction of the dot...

"it's to big to be a bird" Jesse replied as the thing got closer and larger.

As the thing got closer i felt like i saw it before..

"oh no" i said as i made my horse turn around "not good...not good at all"

"what's not good"

"the thing that is coming at us..its shikrah...the one that Artranix was talking about."

"so this means i can't show you what i was going to show you"

"sorry..but no...not know...cause you know since there is a evil dragon coming our way" i said as i looked toward the sun to see how close shikrah was...but she wasn't there "where did she go"

the moment i said that i was thrown from my horse i landed on my arm and heard a sickening crack, as i tried to contain the pain and frustration i rolled on my back to see shikrah flying away and as i looked towards my horse Jesse and his horse were gone.

"Did he ditch me when he saw the dragon?" i thought as i slowly tried to get up but failed as I got lightheaded and had to sit back down

"Dragon?" said Artranix his voice sounded filled with worry and anger

"Yeah but im ok..just a broken arm"

"JUST A BROKEN ARM!" Artanix yelled making my brain vibrate and causing the world around me to spin and then darkness.

When i woke up i looked down to see my left arm in a sling, as i layed there i looked around the place i was in, it was very warm and it was way diffrent than ordon..instead of wood walls they were made of stone and there were candels lit on the walls. As i got up to look around the place more someone opened up the door. A girl came in, wearing a lime green dress and curly hair with a bowl of water only just to drop it on the floor causing it to shatter all over the floor. After staring at her for quiet some time, it hit me for who she was.

"Lindsey?"
