Legacy of time

Chp3: Death moutain trail...

" That was awful!!" Malon said when they finally got back out of the grave. Her dress was ripped around the edge and she had plenty of dirt smuges.

Link just shook his head," At least we got out alive."

" That's true..." malon said streighting her now tangled orange hair," Well the entrence is obviously noty down there, now what?"

Good question Link thought as he looked up at the sky. They were back to where they started, with absolutely no idea where to go. If they kept wondering around like this, sure they would find it but it would take so long. Could Zelda wait that long? What if she couldn't? I thought was to disaterous to think so he pushed it out of the way. They needed to find it, soon. With this in mind he turned back to Malon. She was so dirt it looked like she'd taken a mud-bath; but she just stood pationtly waiting for the next instruction. He smiled, she was nothing like the girls back in the forest. On that note he remembered Saria and momentarily lost his train of thought.

" Hey!!" Navi said pulling him back," Look up!! Up in the sky!!"

Link snapped back to reality and looked up. Up in the sky was a ginat owl with huge flapping wings. The owl seemed to look down on link and wink. Then it flew off in a different direction.

"I think we should follow it." Link said starting to walk in that direction.

"Follow an owl?" Malon said questioningly, then shruged " well we got nothing to lose..."

They followed the owl out of the grave yard and into town. The reached the front part of the village and went up a few staire-ways and reached the gate. Link smiled as he waved a thanks to the Owl. the owl winked in reply and flew off. Link ran forward with Malon close behind until an outstreched spear stoped him. Link fell back and just barely managed not to crush the farm girl, who for the most part felt shell-shocked. they looked up to see a bored looking guard holding the spear.

" What do you kids think your doing?" he asked lazly

" We're going to Death Moutain," Link said confidently," so if you could just move your spear..."

"You? Up the Moutain?!" he said snaping out of his daze and laughing," that's rich, I needed that..."

Malon frowned,This is bad...

" I was sent by Princess Zelda!!" Link protested.

The guard rolled his eyes," yeah, sure..."

This was bad. The guard obviously wasn't going to believe two little children. Plus, they were going up a dangerous path.. So their chances were extremly slim. Malon sighed. Unless they had a signed order this guy wouldn't move. Which was why she was so suprised when she saw Link pull out a latter. The Guard read the letter and laughed again. Link looked confused; mirroring malon's confused expresion.

" this is definately Zelda's handwriteing." the guard said," wonder what she's up to now.."

" so...You'll let me in?!" Link asked hopefully.

the guard nodded with a grunt and Link smirked and dashedd inisde. Malon follwd only to be stoped by a guard's spear. She hit the breaks and fell back from the sudden stop. Looking up she saw the stren expresion of the guard's face.

" she can't come in."The guard said looking her over.

" Why not?" Link demanded comeing back.

" The letter didn't give her clearence." the Guard said turning his stern glare back to Link," plus she isn't prepared. She lacks the proper shield."

" well where can we get one?" Link asked impationtly. The sun was gettinmg lower and he wanted to get to the city Zelda mentioned before night-fall.

"There's a shop in the town-market." The guard said," go to the Bazzar shop and tell the owner I sent you. He should give you a discount." Then he frowned again," But you still can't get in, the letter didn't say she could.."

"Is there anything that would change your mind?" LInk said cutting to the chase.

" Well..." the guard droned," There is one thing.."

"yes?"

The guard shuffled his feet like a small child," My sun wants this mask...this populer charecter has been floating around and...the new mask shop opened in town...if you could.."

" Please hurry sir, we don't have much time.." Malon said annoyed.

The guard huffed," Fine. If you and the girl come back with a proper shiled and the mask, I might look the other way and let her pass. That clear enough for you Missy?"

"Crystal." she said tugging Link away. he had his mouth open and was about to say something but malon's sudden jerk caused his mouth to clamp shut.

" ow.." he said out of protest," what did you do that for?"

"I did it before you could say something you'd regret." Malon insisted," Now come on, let's get to the market."

I know I know I didn't cover much but I've got so meny other stories to update that i need to have some time. please bare with me, I'm doing alot of Multitasking and juggleing,
