So, I found alot of mispelleings in the first chapter. I tried to fix most of them but I eventually grew tired of it and hoped that you all would know what I meant. This chapter was going to be part of chapter 1 but I decided that it should be it's own chapter.
Linka was getting dressed for the day. Her usual outfit. A white shirt with her baggy pants. She strapped on her green shoulder pad and tightened her belt. That's when she heared Talo's voice from outside.
"Hey, wake up, Linka! It's morning already!" Talo called from outside. Linka looked out the window and saw Talo, his brother, Malo, and Beth outside. She shook her head and went outside.
Instead of waisting time by taking the ladder, she jumped off the ledge and landed directly by them. They were all talking to each other when Talo noticed Linka come up to them.
"Oh, Linka! Didja jear?" Talo asked Linka excitedly."They're selling a slingshot at the store right now! A SLINGSHOT!"
"I wonder how powerful it is..." Malo spoke quietly. "I nedd...I must try it..."
"Talo, if you and Malo want it so badly, just buy it at my parents' shop!" Beth spoke to the younger boys. She placed her hands on her hips and stared at them.
Talo sighed and looked at Beth."Do you see any Rupees in my hand? I can't afford that thing! C'mon Beth," Talo skidded closer to Beth and grinned at her with his brown puppy dog eyes." can't you just loan it to us for a while?"
Beth frowned and stepped away from Talo. She folded her arms over her chest."You know I'd get in trouble for that! If you two want it, save up your allowances or something."
Malo sighed and hung his head. "But...Our allowances are terrible...Aww, I wish I was born into a family with a slingshot instead of one with a water wheel." Malo grumbled.
Linka chuckled and walked into town. She hoped she could find something productive to do. She looked around and noticed some Ordon Bees had made a nest in the tall tree. She smiled. "Maybe I could fix that." Then Linka heared Uli over by the creek. She sighed loudly. Linka looked over to her and she seemed distressed.
Linka walked over to her and waved. Uli noticed her and smiled. "Oh, um, good morning to you. If you're looking for my husband, he took his sword and left early this morning. But, I must ask Linka," Uli said. She looked down the stream and search for something. Eventually she turned her blue eyes on Linka again."You have not seen a cradle come floating by here have you? It's a baby's cradle made of finely woven tree bark."
When Linka shook her head Uli sighed. "Oh, such a misfortune. How far could it have drifted, I wonder." Uli began to look closer to see if maybe it had washed up on shore.
Linka smiled. Another thing I could help with, she thought. She heared some whisle coming from near Sera's shop. Linka walked over there and noticed Talo and Malo's dad. He waved to her.
"Hey Linka! Come here for a minute!" He called down to her. She jogged over there.
"Good morning Jaggle!" Linka called to him. He chuckled.
"Hey, there you go! Over here!" He said back to her as she came up to the stone pillar he was standing on."Yeah! Your voice carries well, as allways. So listen, why don't you climb up those vines there, Linka?" He asked her.
Linka noticed the vines. The seemed easy ebough to climb with. She grabbed onto them and pulled herself up to the top where Jaggle was. "Yo! There you are. Check this out. You know Sera, at the general store?" He asked. He pointed over to his house."Well, isn't that her cat over there?"
Linka looked across the way and saw the brown, black and white tabby. She nodded. "Yeah it is."
"He's just been sitting there next to my house, having a staring contest with the creek." He said. He laughed loudly and spoke to Linka again. "You don't suppose he's thinking he's gonna catch a fish, do you?" Linka shook her head slightly."Ha ha ha! A car can't catch no fish!"
Linka and Jaggle spent a good minute laughing and giggling about Sera's cat. Jaggle wiped the sweat off of his face then sighed. "Anyway, that's not what I was meaning to tell you about. I want you to take a look at something. See that grass growing there on the edge of that rock?" He turned and motioned to another pillar. Sure enough, there was some grass growing there."Haven't I seen you whistling with that stuff? I figured it was pretty rare to see it growing in a place like that, so I thought I'd let you know? I bet you could leap across these rocks couldn't you?"
Linka grinned and nodded to Jaggle."I sure can. And thanks for telling me about it. I'm sure it will come in handy." She then leaped to the other rock and leaned down to pick some of the grass.
She brought the grass to her mouth and whistled through it. A soft melody began to play. After a minute of the playing Linka heared a loud cry coming from the sky. She dropped the grass and looked up.
A hawk flying in the air screeched again. Then it lowered toward Linka. She held out her arm and it landed on it. She smiled and lightly moved her hand to the hawk to pet it. She looked over to the Ordon Bee hive and asked the hawk, "Could you do me a favor and knock that down?" The hawk nodded and flew quickly over to the hive, knocking it off the tree.
The hawk flew back to Linka and gave a small chirp to her. She nodded to him and smiled. "Thank you. You wouldn't happened to have seen a craddle lately have you?" The hawk cried softly and flew off. Linka looked around to see where he went off to. She smiled when she noticed the hawk snatch the craddle away from a monkey.
The hawk flew back to Linka and dropped it in her arms. Linka smiled a "Thank you" to the brid and jumped back over the rocks. She noticed Uli still by the river.
When Linka came closer, Uli looked up and smiled."Oh, Linka! That cradle. Did you go to the trouble of finding it for me?" Uli grinned and clutched at her stomach.
"It was no trouble at all." Linka smiled and shifted her hold on the wicker cradle.
Uli clapped happily and smiled brighter."My thanks to you! Oh, that reminds me. There is something I'm supposed to give you. Do you think you could carry that cradle and come with me back to my house?" Uli tilted her head slightly.
Linka grinned and nodded. "Of course. A lady like you shouldn't be carrying heavy items like this." Linka held up the cradle and laughed lightly. Uli smiled and walked with Linka up the dirt path to Uli's house.
"Aah Linka, you would have made a nice young man." Uli chuckled slightly at Linka's pout. Uli went inside and walked back out quickly. She handed Linka a fishing pole. "Here you go! It is a little...unpolished. My son, Colin, made this under the instruction of his father. You can use it if you want." Uli smiled.
Linka took the item and examined it. She nodded and smiled. "Give Colin my thanks if I don't see him okay?" Uli nodded. Linka walked down the path and was going to head home when she noticed Sera's cat still looking at the fish.
Linka shrugged and walked over to the cat. She held her fishing pole. "A good time to use this." She casted it into the water and waited for the tug of the line. She reeled it in and grinned at the fish on the hook. When she dropped it on the ground, Sera's cat quickly ran to it, grabbed it and ran back to her master's home.
Linka was surprised. She ran after the cat and went to the general store. Inside she saw Sera feeding her cat some Milk. "Can you believe it? He caught a fish all by himself." Sera said. Linka was about to protest when Sera held out a bottle of milk to the young girl. "Here, you can have this. On the house." Linka took it and smiled. "Is there anything else you might want, hon?" Sera motioned to the items at the shop.
Linka looked over the items and stopped at the slingshot. She rolled her eyes and pointed to it. "How much?"
Sera looked over to it and smiled. "That'll be 30 Ruppees. Say aren't you a little old to be buying one of these?" Sera asked as she took the slingshot off the shelf. Linka grinned as she placed the money on the counter.
"One can never be too old." Linka took the slingshot and left. She decided to go back home. She was almost there when Rusl walked past.
"Linka, I fixed your wooden sword. It's in your house." Rusl smiled and went back to walking to his house. Linka started to walk past the kids when Talo stopped her.
"Hey, Colin's dad just dropped something off at your house! What is it?" Talo jumped up and down excitedly.
"I demand you tell us." Malo said quietly.
Linka rolled her eyes and went to climb up her ladder when she noticed a spider in the way. She took out her slingshot and shot it down. After it dropped down, she quickly climbed up the ladder and went inside.
Once inside, she noticed an item on her couch. She unwrapped it and discovered that it was her wooden sword. She grinned.
When she went back outside, the kids noticed the sword and smiled brightly.
"Come on Linka! Show us some moves!" Talo shouted excitedly.
"Hiya!" Linka shouted as she showed them her last move, the Leap Attack. Talo jumped happily. He had taken out his own wooden sword and was swinging it around.
"With these new moves," Talo held up his play wooden sword. He grinned happily." I will be able to stop those menacing mon-"
Talo's sentence was cut off by the cry of a monkey. It turned around and ran down the path to the forrest. Talo and the others chased after it.
"You won't get away so easily!" Talo shouted as he, Malo and Beth ran after the monkey. Linka started to chase after them when she stopped.
She looked over at Epona and nodded. She went over to the horse and leaped on the saddle. Epona quickly ran down the path. Linka went past Beth when she saw the girl pointing down the path.
Next was Malo who spoke quietly."Talo's still chasing after that monkey." Linka nodded and urged Epona forward.
After a long run, Linka came up to a path. Epona didn't want to move further so Linka dismounted and went into the cave. She illuminated the lantern that she had gotten from the man selling lanterns. On the ground she noticed Talo's wooden sword.
She looked into the dark cave and quickly ran inside. There were a few bats that flocked around her. She felt bad but she had to whack them with her sword. When she finally got out, she was in this big feild. She stopped when she noticed some strange monsters walking about.
They had noticed her right away and ran toward her. She gripped her sword tightly in her hand. She ran to them and slashed them all, hitting them in the head. When the last monster dropped a key, Linka picked it up and looked at the locked gate.
She quickly made her way to it and unlocked the latch. She pushed open the heavy gate and started onward. After a few minutes she was looking at this path made of a giant tree. When she looked to the top, she noticed Talo and the monkey. Linka narrowed her eyes when she saw the two monsters guarding them.
She sprinted up the walk way and quickly knocked the monsters out. She then looked at the wooden cage that Talo and the Monkey was. She frowned when she couldn't see a way to open it. She looked at them.
"Watch out. I'll have to hit it with my sword." Linka told them. Talo nodded and cringed slightly as Linka whacked the wooden cage a few times before the wooden bars shattered.
The monkey jumped happily and clapped her hands. Linka had noticed the pink flower on her ear. Talo had ran over to Linka and was clutching to her leg. She looked at him and ruffled his hair."Let's get home, Talo." Linka said. He nodded and the walked back to the village.
Linka waved to the lantern guy when they passed him. Rusl came out from the tall grass and looked at Linka. He looked down at Talo and frowned slightly. Talo shook then bolted back to the village. Rusl looked up at Linka.
"Thank you for retreiving Talo for me. Now, you need to get a good night's rest." Rusl patted Linka on the shoulder and walked back to the village. "You have a big day tomorrow."
Linka nodded and led Epona back to the village. Once they arrived home, Linka yawned loudly and went straight inside her house. She took off her shoes and shoulder pad then she went to get the last remnants of that stew she made. After dinner, Linka was so tired she went straight to bed. She couldn't wait for tomorrow.
