Rise Of The Snows
Chapter 19:
A/N: Hey ya'll soon this will be done…it all started with a crap story called Cheating Death, which once I'm done with this one I'm going to really fix up Cheating Death, I just read one chapter and died laughing at how bad it was. It's been almost a year since I've read Cheating Death, and boy I've really improved!!
Disclaimer: I don't own them, except I totally own my 80 gig. iPod...I like boasting…lol! Boasting is an awesome word, my mother is in the ER, it's 11:07 pm...I'm wanting her to be okay.
During the war, Amia, Ayden, and Link are still in the GD.
"We can't hold them back much longer!" Rogir yelled, at one of the commanders, he was running out of arrows. Rogir jumped te wall and ran into the crowd, he had twin swords exactly the same and both steath. The Hylian gates opened and reinforcements came in, scared and pathetic Hylian soldiers, but better then nothing. Rogir was getting frustrated, while he should have been training his recruits, he was out drinking with a couple friends. Bad Rogir.
The swords had a metalic ring in them, when they came out of their sheaths. Rogir ran at a random soldier. Killed him. It was very easy to, being a Royal Guard was that you had better fighting skills. And the Mayros people didn't have much for armor, nor skill. Rogir kept killing people he came next to, or who came running at him.
Blood was everywhere. On his face, his swords. Almost now covered in dripping blood. He heard a low growl, Rogir turned around. There was a wolf, ripping apart a rather large soldier. The wolf leaped into the air, and thrusted out his neck, then he tore the soldiers' throat out. The wolf had funwhile doing it, it was Tristan. He leaped into the crowds of soldiers, biting there heads off, ripping and tearing away limbs. Rogir watched this is amazwment, the fact that the wolves didn't attack anybody else, except the enemy, he expected them to attack anywhere.
His amazement ended when he felt a sharp stab of pain in his leg. Then his chest. He fell, just missing the axe ready to chop off his head.
"Rogir!" Zelda screamed, shooting the man, with one of her light arrows, who was stabbing him to Rogir's death. Rogir was crippled on the ground. Leo now was bounding through the heaps of dead bodies.
"Leo! Get Rogir to the doctor now!" Zelda looked and blocked a blow with her shield, the man still wasn't dead yet. She tried to shoot him again with her light arros, but he used some sort of magic that deflected it, bounced off her shield, hit his again, and then stabbed Leo in the side. Leo roared, and howled, you could tell he was screaming.
Zelda continued killing people, Tristan continued ripping people apart, and Asuncion kept tackling people to the ground, and grabbign arrows out of the air before they hit a Hylian soldier. Her mouth was bleeding, one went through her mouth. Asuncion was mainly protecting the fleet of Hylian soldiers. She was getting sprayed with there blood and hers. Then she met Tristan in the crowd.
Rogir was right, some times the wolves would go back to there instincts and start killing for the heck of it. Tristan attacked Asuncion, raging with fury. Trying to rip out her throat. The only thing she could do was fight back. Soem soliders stopped and stared, the wolves were clawing up the ground, soem soldiers were shooting at them, trying to bring them down.
Actually, a soldier got on Tristan' sback and stabbed him in the side. Asuncion ripped that soldier off. Tristan, still attacked his wife. Then Leo heard the howls for help and came running for his sister, Tristan attacked Leo's face. Giving him horrible marks cutting down his face. Missing his eyes.
"TRISTAN! STOP IT!" This was Zelda yelling, Tristan actually stopped. And continued fighting Mayros soldiers. Then the Hylians actually drove them out. Killing half of them. The blood was like a pond. You could bathe in it. Asuncion got pushed down in it with nets and ancors, she had to roll in it to get out.
Fianlly, The Battle of Mayros, was fully won. The castle was burning from the inside, the fountain had fallen, some people believed that if the fountain would fall so would Hyrule. Just superstious ideas.
The soldiers rushed back into the safe gates that held up against the catapults. Grabbign wounded and sending them to there doctor.
Now back to where we really are...
Link ran Zelda to the doctor. Wishing he hadn't to realize, how many people were in there, screaming with pain. Getting amputated limbs. There were a few voulunteer women, to help the doctor. It was a bloody mess, rotting the floors.
Link shook Zelda, she had woken. "Whoa! Where am I? Link...I feel fine now."
"I know, I thought it was worse...so I took you here...only now I believe your fine." Link smiled, setting her back down, realizing he just got a lot of blood on his tunic.
"Sorry." Zelda mumbled.
"It's 'kay" Link said short. Then he stepped out of the dorcotrs office, getting sick of the painful screams and blood dripping on the floor. Zelda stayed and helped the nurses and doctor.
Link looked out, the castle had stopped burning, apparently people put it out. Places had stopped burnign and there was a giant crowd of solidiers and civilians around a dragon.
Link smiled and ran towards the crowd. El was standing there with Ayden on her back. There were people shouting out questions, about the Twilight, and being a dragon.
"Link!" El shouted out, and swooped her tail out to him, made it like steps, and Link walked up it, and stood next to Ayden. "I'm looking for Amia." Ayden mumbled, as El continued answering questions.
"The people act as if there was no battle at all." He mumbled back.
"Yeah. I can't see her...jusk kidding, there she is." Ayden said, pointing out. She was walking down one of the roads, towards them.
Ayden slid down the El's arm. Then did Link. The people continued throwing out questions. Until Zelda came out and clapped saying, "Hey! This isn't ladies aid here! Clean up, help the Ezeras! NOW!" Then the people dispersed.
El sat there, Zelda looked at her, and took a few steps back, and ran to go help. El snarled sarcastically sticking out her split tounge.
Ayden turned the corner and ran right into his sister, Link ran turnign the corner tripping over there fallen bodies. "Ow." they all said in unicen.
Link sat up, looking at the blood on his tunic. "Blood stains, you know." Amia said pointing it out. Link rolled his eyes.
Amia got back up, rubbing the dust off her shorts. she smiled at the two, still on the ground. "Don't let anything I said at the GD get in the way of our friendship...okay?" She raised one eyebrow.
"So you guys were married...and had wo kids?" Link asked.
"Well yeah, except, really only I have one...I believe...didn't we already talk about this?" She said, trying to change the subject.
Ayden smiled, "One?"
"Ugggh...men! You don't listen to anything I say-"
"Who would." Ayden whispered to Link, they laughed.
Amia frowned, "I had two kids, Grant and Amorai. Grant died...I don't know how, I think he was getting sick! He was only 3 months old!"
"Sad...well I can't barely stand one Ganondrof, let alone his son." Link said.
Amia now was the one rolling her eyes. "Amorai is my daughter, I don't even know if she's alive, she was taken from me when she was 3 1/2. She probably doesn't even remeber me. I really prefer not to talk about this." She ended the subject right there. She started walking back to where El was. Link and Ayden still sat there, and started laughing.
Amia reached El. "Why aren't you doing anything productive, El? Like helping people get roofs off of them?"
El only laughed. "People only ask me questions, even when there on the midst of death."
Amia forced a smile. And sat down on the broken fountain. "Do you think Hyrule will make it through this war, El?"
"No." she said nochalantly. "We only won on luck today, if it wasn't for Zelda and the wolves we would've lost."
"Speaking of wolves." amia said running out towards Tristan, he was limping, dripping blood, and carrying Asuncion in his arms. Leo followed behind, still in his wolf form. Amia ran up to them, "What happend?"
"I went out of control." Tristan growled. Leo shook his head in agreement from behind him. Then they heard a big thump. They all turned around and Leo had fallen on the ground, making a great pool of blood around him.
Amia kneeled next to him. Pulling out the arrow in his side, then he poofed back into a human. Then he was repeadetly screaming ow. And then he justed started screaming. "Leo!" Tristan shouted, no wait roared. Link and Ayden had met up with them, wishing they hadn't. There could have been enough blood there to make the fountain work again.
Leo's face was becoming more pale, and then it was slowly fading even to a dead color. Asuncion woke up, leaned over her brother, and looked at Amia, not recongnizing her at first.
Leo sat next to his wife, Asuncion. Ayden and Link watched behind them. Leo was coughing up blood.
"Is your brothers blood thin?" Amia said, sounding very panicked.
"Yes." Asuncion said, ripping Leo's shirt, and rapping it arounf the cuts that were bleeding the most frequently.
Link could taste the bile building up in his mouth. He turned around and threw up. Amia turned, "Oh."
Ayden patted Link's back...then he threw up. It was a chain reaction, really. Leo was started to go crazy, he was rolling aorund, Tristan held him down. Leo's eyes were rolling to the back of his head. "Leo! Stay with us!" Asuncion shouted, her hands on the side of his face.
"You guys." Amia started. "It's too late."
"Can't You do something, Amia."El said, raising what looked to be a eyebrow, for a dragon.
"Errr...I've only done it once...but it might work. Step back, all of you." Amia ordered.
Leo had stopped breathing, but blood still drained out. He was dead. Amia put her hands over his chest, they formed a glowing ball of magic. Amia closed her eyes. Link was already sick, he covered his eyes, then everybody did, it was so bright. Like the sun.
Then they heard coughing. The light dimmed, they looked. Leo was sitting up. "No...way." Link whispered, "You can bring people back to life?" He was amazed.
Amia was red faced, and sweating. "The side effects are horrible though." Then she threw up, blood. Leo looked everywhere, all the cuts were healed, some had truly dissapeared.
They helped the two up, they went forth to the Castle. Zelda was there, she ran towards them all, all 6 off them. Including a dragon.
"Thanks you three." Zelda mumbled, her voice was dry.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It was 3 months later, Hyrule castle was fixed, soemtimes it still smelled like smoke. Rogir had been ill for 2 off the 3 months, with an infection in one of the cuts, and he died the 3rd month. They had a grand burial. Rogir was very important, even though the group barely knew him, some still cried. They all knew there would be more deaths coming of, fathers, uncles, brothers, sons, mothers, daughters, aunts, sister, granmothers, and grandfathers. There wouldn't be that many women however.
Castle Town's fountain was fixed, shops got up to normal, busniess was slow, people prepared themselves more for battles. Then something happend. --
"Link, have you seen Ayden I havn't seen him for the past 3 days." Amia asked, eating an apple. She was wearing black pants and normal Hylian shirt, red.
"No...I've been lookign for Shayd to, have you seen her?" Link asked, still sitting at the table, Leo was asleep on the couch.
Amia stared at him blankly. Then Link smiled. "No!" Amia yelled, throwing her hands up in the air. "He can't marry her!''
Link started laughing, "Well, he is the King."
"No he isn't, I'm the Queen...but...ugggh.....I'm the Queen of a whole entire different part of Hyrule. Well I was." She mumbled. She ran into Ayden's room, realizing a note.
Amia, I know your reading this. I won't be coming to Hyrule any more, I'm sick of all this fighitng and being a spie
This is deffianelty not the way I work. Shayd is with me, if you havn't figured that out by now. Yes, we're getting married.
Don't come lookgin for us, maybe I'll see you in a year or two. don't you think you should be getting back to being a Spy?
Ayden Farshaw
P.S. You should go to the bar-Telma's and see whose there...he'll give you some good advice.
Amia ripped the note, she stormed out of the room. Link was laughing, and telling Leo what happend. Once Amia reached Telma's bar's door, tears were falling down her face. "No goodbye." She muttered. Then wiped the tears away.
She opened the door. Then she wanted to leave right away. Telma was int he back, at a round table talking to a man.
"Amia?" She called out. Amia walked towards them.
"Amia I want you to meet, Aauru." Telma said, waving her hand to the older man with white hair and a white mustache. (You all know him, he's part of Telma's group) Amia tried to smile.
Aauru's eyes stayed fixed on her face. "Ummm, I'll let you guys talk" Telma said, leaving the bar completely.
"I thought you were dead!" Aauru shouted, jumping up out of hte chair.
"Ditto!" Amia said, tears bursting out of her eyes. Aauru stood up and gave his eldest daughter a tight hug.
"How did you live, dad?" Amia said, pulling away from his hug, and sitting in a chair next to him.
He sighed. "I wasn't even there that night, I was with your brother, meeting them at the Gate of Returning. you know when our soldiers come home form the deep training int he mountains, the test?"
"Yeah, thats how Ayden lived to." Amia said, smiling. "So ummmm, what did you do all this time?"
"I was mainly looking for you, I knew Ayden was alive, because I seen him. I came back to the Temple with him, everybody was gone and burned, the bodies dumped in the basement. The Temple's 'Hall of Mirror's' was completely destroyed, what was weird was that the mirror 'Li an Thray' was completely taken." Aauru said.
"Yes." Amia said shaking her head, waiting for him to contunue.
"You see, Amia, I stayed down at Lake Hylia looking for you fromthe tower, no sight at all. Then young Link came, and he went into the GD. But you were not there. I considered you dead. Wrote up a grave, and I made a stone, and put it in the Snow Temple Grave Yard. Only now there is a spring, named after us in fact."
"Yes I know, so you were looking for me. Well thanks...but maybe it was a good thing you didnt' come to get me. Whatever though." She started to mumble.
"Dad, Ayden's gone, he left us, he's getting married to thsi Shayd girl." Amia said.
"Yes I know, he told me."
"Ugggh! He never even told me you were alive!" Amia said.
"Amia, why are you getitng mad, you did the same thing." Aauru said, chuckling.
"What! did not!" She shouted, in defense.
"Mhhhmm. Yes, anyways, Ayden is now going to be King, he's going to be the only one he cane get into the temple now, and fix it up. Amia, our people are a dying race, but Ayden might be able to bring half of them all back. Maybe. But, he will come home." Aauru smiled, grabing his daughters hand.
Amia smiled at him, "This is crazy."
"Ams, you better go back to Temar, and do your rightful job. Send all the answers to us by HawkMail."
"Alone." Amia mumbled.
"Your going to do fine, not like you havn't been in any worse situation." He said laughing.
Amia smiled, hugged him goodbye and left. They did talk a little bit longer, but soon Telma needed to re-open shop.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
3 weeks later...
"Who is it?" Zelda called out, she was sharpening one of her daggars. The door opened. A tall skinny female came in. Black hair came down past her shoulders, she had bright blue eyes, and fair skin. She was wearing a white dress with gold bands lining her arms, and no shoes.
"Can I help you?" Zelda asked.
"Yes, I am here to wonder how 250 of my Ezeran men ended up dead, and had no propper burial except to rot on you land!" The female orderd.
"Excuse me." Zelda said, turning around in her spinney chair. "What business do you have here, and with the Ezera's?" Zelda said, now standing up, her hands up on her hips.
"My name is Ezera. Ruler and protector of my people. I came to bring more troops to your glory, to only find my men rotting on the grounds, that you so walk on. And the ones that are alive are not given your best rooms, and only live in shacks!" Ezera shouted.
"Oh. I am so sorry." Zelda mumbled, now feeling completely ashamed.
"Yes, thankyou. I broguht 500 of my men here for orders, they are hungry and parched from the long journey, and be thankful I live close to Hyrule. Otherwise you might have failed the first battle." Ezera said, smirking.
Ezera left, collecting her men into the apartment like rooms, of the Castle.
___________________________________ARTYQ50______________________________________________________
Link was sleeping, he was very tired, from training the new recruits from Ezera and from distant lands, the commands and better fighting skils of being a Hylian. Then a sharp claw dug into his bare back.
He was sleeping with his shirt off, his face smuthered deep into the pillow, when he realized it was HawkMail. He got up, the hawk flying in the air startled.
He grabbed the hawk, gave it a peice of meat, and took the note out of it's clamp. He unscrolled it.
"Dang it." He mumbled getting up, it was written in Snow, even though it was a smart idea, so in case the note got lost, no one else could read it. He was getting tired of trying to find Asuncion, Leo, or Tristan. But this time it was easy, Asuncion was sitting on his couch. Well sleeping actually, because she was also training woman who weren't in the war, but teaching them self deffense.
"Hey A! Wake up." Link shaking her shoulder. She rolled over, looked at him and shrieked. "Oh my Gosh! What the heck did we do! Link you should have know betterm, I'm married!!!" She said. Looking at him being shirtless, and her just sleeping.
Link started laughign so hard, he nearly wet his pants. "Ha haha!!! We didn't do anything, except-"
"AHHHHH! I don't cheat on people!" She said.
Link laughed, "Except, I have HawkMail. I need you to read it." Link said handing it to her. She sighed a sigh of relief. Grabbed the note, unrolled it and read.
Dear poor poor Hylians,
I've been dying to get this hawk out, but I seem to have been beeing watched more frequently. It's gettign really creepy, and I want to come home so bad. I feel like I coudl be exposed here. It's very boring to. Save me! Okay, well, the deal is that they just got 3 hornback golden spiked dragons, so you might want ot warm Morguela about the competition. They also said that, there planning the finaly battle in 2 weeks or less. I'll give you the propper date soon, just thought I'd forwarn you.
But otherwise, I've been here in my room, no friends, except this stupid hawk, and I guess Ganondorf. Yes Ganondrof. He's here with me, but it only makes matters worse. He's always looking at me...and I don't like it. All thought it's better then beeing here alone. Has the King of the Snows come back? Have you heard any news, please send them to me.
Amia Farshaw
P.S.: This is written by Ganny, Don't you think it should be Amia Dragmire??? We never exactly got a divorce...yeah, well don't die on us Link, A, Tistan, Leo, Zelda...
Asuncion smiled, Ganondorf's writing was alot harder to read...but it was funny. Link shook his head in confirm about the so-called last battle.
_____________________________ARTYQ50___________________________________________________
Those 2 weeks passed, and there wa no HawkMail. But on the plus side no battle. Everybody was making spare weopns. And practicing. There odds of winning was now up to a 35% chance.
Link walked down the lon alley way, passing Agitha's castle, he opend the door to te Fortune teller's place. She smiled at his presence.
"My, Link! What a surprise. What can I do for you." She said, with an open smile, as if there was no war at all.
"I need to ask you a question, will I die in this war?"
The fortune teller's smile dissapeared. "Alright." She said grabbing one of Link's hands. Her other, going over her crystal ball.
She was in a deep trance when she said these things, like a prophecy waiting to be told.
"Death to be on lots, your friends who will die are: Leo...Asuncion...Kerrian...Riaz...Emmett....Aaron...You...Amia and Ganondorf will part there souls. But there is hope from thee Immortal's...and 2,500 Ghosts, risen by the King and Queen. One more Dragon of Ice to be added to your war. Only one person will be risen to come back to life, but the other immortal will go to a deep sleep."
She took in a breath. "Link you will go past the walls of Ice to find Jacop. Then with Jacop you will go to the Viranian Fortess, of Virania. Meet General Wolfe. Help shall be sought." The fortune teller was now out of her trance. She stared at Link.
"Whoooo...that was as far as me eye could forsee." She said, drinking a glass of water.
Link sat there staring at the back wall. His bottom lip trembling, it was confusing, but he knew who was going to die. And now he had to go find this person named Jacop. And a man named General Wolfe. Link was now shaking, he said thankyou and left, he started panicking and then ran to El.
"El!" He said.
El swung her head, she was currently sleeping in the STARgame's tent, perfect for her size.
"Yes, Link?"
"We need to leave." Link said, climbing on her back, she stepped out of the tent.
"Where are we going?" El asked, yawning.
"We are going to Jacop."
