Chapter 4: A Castle and it's Town
I looked around the town. It was amazing. Everything seemed so advanced and cool.
As I walked through the town, I looked in every window. All the cool stuff was incredible. It was like a heaven. There were large burly shields, arrows, potions, bombs, just about anything! I was a little scared that there were so many people, though. Everything seemed to be moving.
Suddenly, a beautiful sound came to my ears. A tune. But... it was a voice. I followed my ears, and found a redhead girl standing before me. "Excuse me," I said, shyly tapping her shoulder. She stopped, looking at me curiously. "Oh, hello. Do you need something?" she asked. I nodded, "Can you direct me to the castle?" She smiled. "Oh, it's that big thhing over that way," she said, as if it were common knowledge. I looked down. She picked up my chin. "Hey, don't worry about it. you're not from around here, right? I can tell by your clothes," she said. I smiled. "Thanks... I didn't get your name..." I said, looking at her. She smiled. "Name's Malon. And you?" she asked. "Link," I responded.
I moved into the enxt area, and walked up to the guard. "Can I go through this gate to see the Princess?" I asked, naively unknowing of how things like this worked.
The man laughed. "Boy," he said, "what business do you have with her?" I told him, and he laughed. "Listen, kid. I kinda like you. I'll let you through, but you've got to enver tell anyone, k?" I nodded, and walked through the gate...
After a while, I had made it through the arrangement of guards. I found a large man sleeping in front of a few milk crates. I slowly slid a newborn chicken out of muy magical pouch. "CUUCCCKKKKKOOOOO!!!!" crowed the bird, snapping the man to attention. "Hey! What's going on here? I can't even get a little shuteye!" grunted the man. "You're Talon... Malon is waiting for you," I said, hoping he was the man. He jumped up. "Oh nooo! I'm gonna be in for it now. I'M COMING MALOOONN!!!!" shouted the large man as he charged for the gate, hoping for all his life that his beloved daughter wouldn't be to mad at him.
Meanwhile, I began moving his crates. Somehow, my natural instinct was telling me what to do. I pushed them and stacked them over the edge, forming a sort of bridge to a small hole. With a bounding leap, I jumped over, and crawled inside the hole.
As I made it inside, i found myself in an area very beautiful. I began sneaking through the various bushes, around guards and over planks. It was hard, and troublesome, but I made it, eventually. With a smile, I headed into the next room.
I found myself staring at... paradise. Or at least, what I thought at the time was paradise, as I had not yet discovered love. Butthat is not a story for yet.
I walked forward steadily, approaching the blonde haired girl. "Are you... the Princess...?" I asked uncertainly. She spun around, shocked. "how did you get past the guards? Wait... is that... a fairy???" she said. She walked up to me, clutching my hands. "You. You're the one from my dream. Do you ahve that shining stone? Do you? Because, I knew you'd come." I nodded. She laughed, and was happy. "You're him. Tell... is your name Link?" she asked. I nodded. She smiled. "Have you ehard the tale of the goddesses?" she asked, "from the Deku Tree?" I nodded once more. "Then you should know that the goddesses created the triforce. The man through this window, Ganodorf... he want's the Triforce, Link! We have to stop him!"
I walked up to the window, and looked in. I saw the most ugly man in my life through that window. his red eyes, his pale green skin. I pulled away. "Take this letter, they'll let you up Death Mountain under my orders. Good luck, Link," she said.
I turned, and walked up tot he woman before me. "I am Impa, a Shiekah, and the guardian of the princess," she said, "I teach you this melody. I cannot play it, since it would be too loud, but memorize it, and learn it well. it will be of use." With taht, she led me out of the castle.
Outside the gate, she opinted to a small stairway. "That way be the way to Death Mountain," she said, "there the gorons hold the Spiritual Stone of Fire. Go now, you will find help in my village at the foothill of the mountain." She threw a Deku Nut on the ground, and was gone. I smiled. 'I had a couple places to go first before I went to Kakariko. I set off for the onward ranch, hoping to find Malon and Talon there.
