Chapter 2

Outside of Hyrule Castle

Hyrule Castle was an absolute fortress. The field surrounding the exterior of the castle was bustling with guards, and there were even more surrounding the perimeter of the castle. The castle itself was huge, twenty stories high, with a lone tower at the top overlooking the rest of the grounds. There would be more guards here, on watch. The king would be in the room just below the watch tower, and there would likely be a small army in there protecting him.

The Fire Omo looked at the castle from just outside of the field. He was covered from the watch tower by a large plateau he was behind, but he knew that he would easily be spotted if he tried to just walk about. There were soldiers all over the field, including one that was just around the corner of the plateau he was using for cover. He had thought about this problem the previous evening, and had deduced that the best way inside of the castle would be to masquerade as one of the guards.

That in itself would not be a very difficult plan to execute, however getting the people in the watch tower to look away from their respective areas would be mostly a matter of luck. He figured that since they were sitting in a tower all day looking at a boring field, they would take any chance that they could get to see something exciting.

A bomb arrow would be best, the Omo thought to himself, but that would almost certainly make them think that they are under attack. He had decided that the next best thing would be to make them think that there was a flash fire in the garden. Luckily for him, it was a very dry and hot day, so the conditions were already perfect for one anyways. The Omo took out his bow and a single arrow. He poured some oil on the head of the arrow, than lit it on fire. The Omo pulled on the drawstring, and fired the arrow clean over the plateau. It was a perfect shot, landing right in the garden across the field. The various flowers, bushes, trees, and other plant life instantly burst into flames, and the fire was quickly threatening to spread to other parts of the field as well.

Just as the Omo thought, this got the attention of nearly all the guards; most importantly, the ones in the watchtower. He took advantage of this situation and ran up to the soldier near the plateau. The soldier was taken off guard and the Omo quickly, and by some miracle quietly, snapped his neck. The soldier was killed instantly, without having time enough to even scream. The Omo dragged the body of the soldier back to his original hiding place, and disrobed the soldier of his armor. The Omo then put on the armor on top of the light clothing and chain mail he had chosen to wear underneath himself. He also replaced the guard's sword and shield with his own. With everything he needed ready, he decided to set off for the castle.

Just as the Omo had thought, his disguise allowed him to freely walk around the grounds. He followed the trail that led to the castle grounds, being sure to keep his head low, on the off chance somebody knew his face didn't belong. A few guards looked at him, but the uniform told them all that they needed to see to know that he was one of them.

The Omo began to get closer to the castle, but he did not speed his walk up. He felt that this would attract attention, which is the last thing that any assassin wants to do. He got past the outer walls of the castle, and had begun to walk around the moat to the entrance on the other side, when he heard one of the last things that he wanted to.

"Where are you going, soldier?" a voice called out to him.

The Omo did not expect anybody to stop him on his way to the castle, he had to think fast. He turned around and saw the face of Corporal Vichy (of course the Omo knew the names of the important soldiers,) and quickly came up with a response.

"The fire in the garden was caused by an arrow, sir; it was not a flash fire. I am going to report to Captain Moriarty that I saw the one who fired the arrow on the garden," the Omo said to his "superior."

"Why didn't you just go after him yourself, soldier?" the Corporal questioned him further.

The Omo was quite prepared for this question, "I didn't go after him because I was on the opposite side of the field, sir, and also because he had already ran off by the time I would have been able to get over there," he replied, growing tired of this questioning. There weren't as many guards around now that he was inside the castle wall; if the Corporal kept up with the questioning, he may need to be taken care of. Luckily for the Corporal, however, he simply gave the Omo a look of content, and said, "Good then, on with it," dismissing him.

The Omo had no more troubles getting to the castle. Once inside the castle, the Omo surveyed his immediate surroundings. He was in a corner on the first floor of the castle, with two long hallways stretching out from the corner. There were no guards in his immediate vicinity, so he quickly went into a closet and ditched the armor he stole. Once back in the hallway, he began to make his way through the castle.

He didn't encounter any guards on the first floor, so once he found the staircase, he easily made his way up. This took him to the fifth floor, it was similar to the first floor, but the perimeter was only about half that of the first. The Omo quietly made his way to the corner of the room. When he looked around to the other side, he noticed two guards standing side by side.

The Omo had to incapacitate them, but the fact that there were two made it a little tricky, especially since he could not leave any blood behind, as this would surely tip off anybody who went through this hallway.

Once he had his plan of attack, he slowly made his way to where they were standing, and took his shield off of his back. Once he was right behind them, he pinched a nerve on one of the guard's necks, knocking him unconscious immediately, and before the other had time to register what had happened, the Omo took his shield and hit the guard over the head with it, which knocked him out as well.

With those two guards incapacitated, the Omo had a clear path to the next staircase; however he first had to get those two guards out of sight, lest anybody find them. He opened a door to a closet in the hallway, and then threw the two of them in. They should be out for at least an hour, the Omo thought to himself; that should be plenty of time.

The Omo made his way up the steps, taking him to the tenth floor of the tower. He was already halfway to his target, and once the King was dead, the Triforce of Power would be his. This is too easy, the Omo thought; it won't be long now.

Maybe it was just bad luck, or maybe it was fate. In any case, The Fire Omo would regret that thought. No sooner did it cross his mind than he heard a sharp whistle cut through the air. The Omo stopped in his tracks, I have been found out, he thought, I need to work fast.

Forgetting all about stealth now, he rushed for the staircase that would lead higher into the castle. However, once he saw the twenty or so guards that came pouring out of that staircase, he quickly decided that it would be better to abort his mission. The Omo may have been the greatest assassin in Hyrule, but no man can take on twenty soldiers at once. He sprinted towards the staircase where he had entered, and ran down it. He spared a moment to look down, and saw that there were two more soldiers coming for him up the stairs. He charged at them, drawing his sword. He kicked one of them back, blocked the strike of the other soldier, and then quickly countered, slashing him through his open neck. The soldier was killed instantly. His partner had decided that it was better to flee, and began to get up; the Omo, however, was not feeling generous, so before he could go anywhere, he stabbed the soldier through the back.

The Omo knew that with every second, there would be more soldiers closing in on his location. If he didn't act fast, he would be caught. He made his way through the next hallway with lightning speed, and upon seeing three soldiers on the upcoming staircase, came up with a simple way to kill all three quickly. The soldiers were running side by side, and all perfectly aligned with each other. The Omo charged at them down the hallway; it was like a jousting match without horses. They built up speed, and once they met in the center of the hallway, the hero swiftly sliced his sword through the air, swinging with such force that he was actually able to slice through the necks of each one of the soldiers, killing them all instantly. It was truly a sight to be seen, though those who did see it certainly wished that there was a slightly different outcome for the Omo.

The Omo dashed down the staircase and with no soldiers on the first floor quickly made for the exit of the castle. Once he was out the door and across the moat, he cut the rope holding the drawbridge down, and shut the rest of the soldiers inside of the castle.

He was almost in the clearing, almost. He went to run for where he came, but upon seeing the platoon of soldiers that were storming towards the castle, decided that it would be a better idea to hop the castle walls on the side opposite from where he came from. Sure, there were still guards in the watch tower, but by the time the message that he had gone that direction was relayed, he would be long gone.

His decision was a wise one. All of the soldiers had their attention on the entrance to the castle, thinking that was where he would be; so the Omo was able to make his way around the castle uninhibited. He quickly climbed his way up the vines on the wall, and jumped over to the other side.

The Omo was in the clearing. There were no soldiers in sight, and word of him would not be spread to the town for at least another hour, as the troops would still be dead set on finding him at the castle. Yes The Fire Omo had failed his first task, but there would always be another day. I will have to wait for the Triforce a little longer, it seems, he thought to himself.

The Omo turned to run to the village, but after a few steps he was stopped dead in his tracks by a huge flash of light. A figure appeared in the haze, it was a person with red eyes and short blond hair covered in cloth, with a ponytail sticking out of the back. The person had strong arms and legs, and their blue attire had the insignia of the Sheikah on it.

The Omo drew his sword, as he knew the Sheikah were the sworn protectors of the Royal Family of Hyrule. He swung at his adversary, but against all odds, they were faster. The Sheikah ducked under the Omo's strike, and then quickly followed up with a jab in the side of the neck. The Omo was caught off guard; nobody had ever been faster than him before. He fell to his knees, and in a last ditch effort took one last swing at his opponent; but alas, it was all in vain. The Sheikah easily dodged his sluggish swing, and with one more jab knocked the assassin unconscious.

Lieva could not believe what she was seeing from her vantage point atop a hill just outside the castle grounds. Not only had the greatest assassin in Hyrule, no, the world, been found out, but now he had been incapacitated by an unknown adversary. It was turning out to be a wise decision for Ganondorf to send her to watch the Omo; now she could report his failure to her King and he would have to take the King of Hyrule out on his own.

She got up, she had seen all she needed to, and turned around. Lieva got on her horse, and began to speed off to tell Ganondorf the word of The Fire Omo's failure.

(A/N) So what'd you think? Did you expect things to go so horribly wrong for the Omo? Also, you got to meet the other major character in this story towards the end there, I wonder who it is? Well anyways, please review and I should have my next chapter up within a week! Thanks!
