Chapter 3

Council of the Rito Tribe

A/N: I need reviews so please review. Constructive criticizm is greatly appreciated. Now, on with the story!

Link was cramped in the claw of the dragon, plus Aryll was with him too. He was to make sure Aryll and he did not touch the talons. After a few minutes in the claw, they had landed somewhere. The beast let them down on top of a large mountain. Link was looking into the eyes of a birdman.

"We come in peace, human," the birdman said. "My name is Komali Senior. You are on top of Dragon Roost Island. You probably have many questions, but you must wait before I answer them. Follow me."

Link was too busy listening to the words of the birdman to notice more of his kind surrounding him. After he interpreted Komali Senior's words, he nodded and followed.

The cavern was lit well because of the torches hanging on the walls of the room. A large stone table sat in the middle of the big, dome room. Chairs were installed on the side of the table.

Komali Senior sat down at a large stone table at the head of the table. One of the birdmen advised Link to sit next to Komali Senior and Aryll was being carried by one birdman.

"Link," Komali Senior said. "Welcome to the headquarters of the Council of the Rito Tribe."

Link had stayed quiet.

"We have taken you and your sister away from your home because you are in grave danger."

Link still said nothing.

"You are in danger. Ganondorf is after you," Komali Senior said.

"Who?" Link asked.

"Ganondorf," Komali Senior said. "He is a very evil and cruel man. And he is after the Triforce!"

"What is the Triforce?" Link asked impatiently.

"The Triforce is a special power given to three people. You have it, Ganondorf has it, and we don't know who else has it. But we have to know before Ganondorf," Komali Senior explained.

"How do you know I have it?" Link asked. A birdman approached and ripped of Link's right sleeve.

"Hey! I don't have-

He stopped his sentence to look at a glowing figure on his upper-arm. It was a triangle, but it had an upside down one inside of it.

"That is the Triforce symbol," Komali Senior said. "That is how we know you have it."

"Can it be used?" Link questioned.

"Yes, it can," Komali Senior explained. "You can use it but you must have one or more of the Triforce Weapons. That group consists of the Master Sword, the Light Bow, and the Twin Blades. Ganondorf has the Twin Blades but you must collect yours. With the Twin Blades, Ganondorf can unleash his power. Unless, the other Triforce wielder has gotten the one of the remaining weapons, you are the weakest of the three."

Link tried to settle the words into his head. I am a Triforce user, and I can only unleash it unless I have one of the remaining weapons. Yeah, I think that's right.

"Alright," Link said, still not fully understanding the conversation.

"But what about Aryll and me?" Link asked.

"We will take care of her as well as you," Komali Senior said. "You and your sister will be living here until the Council decides to release you."

Link got out of his chair and asked to go to a room with a bed. Members of the Rito tribe escorted him out of the cavern.

We're going to be stuck here for a long time. Link thought.
