Subchapter 9

Night had fallen over the forest three days after Thian had been banished. Link had managed out of his house and almost halfway towards the entrance and no one the wiser. Link had misled the guards and the rest of the Village that he was content with his fate of never seeing his brother again. Resulting in less guards, less watches and bigger openings for Link to escape and he was using the biggest one. It was the middle of the night, and the one guard at the entrance was asleep. Link stealthily crept by the guard and made it onto the bridge. Link was sure he was home free until he reached the fourth plank which creaked loudly under his weight the guard sat up and looked directly at Link confused for a moment. Link took this pause to sprint towards the tunnel leading to Hyrule field. The guard took off after him only to come to a complete stop as Link passed into the tunnel the guard cursed and kicked at the plank he stood on. Link slowed his gape slightly but kept on running. He had borrowed the Kokiri sword and purchased a Deku Shield for Saria had warned him of the dangers of Hyrule.

Finally coming to a stop Link had lost himself looking up into the sky. He never got to see the star lit sky like this. In the forest the sky was blocked out by several layers of branches and leaves. Link didn't get to enjoy the sight long. He was soon joined by Stalfos, similar to a Stalwolf only a Stalfos is the lost soul of a person and a Stalwolf is the lost soul of an animal. They came at him in groups of three, and were easily defeated, but their deadliness was in their numbers. In how after you slew the last of any group a whole new group would appear. It wasn't long before Link grew weary and his sword began striking with less force and accuracy. Link eventually saw the hopelessness of the situation and decided to run. Sheathing his sword he ran through the darkness. The moon and stars provided some light but not enough for Link to see the river in time. He fell in and was quickly over taken by the current. When he surfaced gasping for air he was passing under a bridge of some sort. He kicked and paddled his way to the bank and lamented his wet clothes and boots.

Much to his annoyance another set of Stalfos rose from the ground and Link had to run again. He spotted a stair case carve out of the land itself, he climbed it and followed a sign that pointed him towards "Kakariko Village." Link ran up a second set of stairs commenting aloud "Anywhere is better than here." He was quickly met by a tall man, dressed in metal, who grabbed link by the back of his tunic and hauled him through the gates and shut them. Setting him down the guard laughed slightly "Whew that was a close one lad. What in Nayru's name are you doing out so late, alone at that." Link explained most of the story to the guard who nodded "So you're looking for your brother then. He has silver hair green eyes and pointed ears." The guard nodded "I'll keep an eye out for him son but you have to stay here until morning" Link nodded he did feel tired.

The guard led him through the village and to a house that had a pin filled with the oddest white birds Link had ever seen. They could not fly that much was sure otherwise a pin could never hold them. The guard knocked on the door and a woman with red hair answered rubbing her eye sleepily. The guard explained to her that this boy needed a place to stay for the night and she agreed warmly and let Link in. She got him a change of clothes and introduced herself as Marin. She told him all about her Cucco allergy and how she would always lose her Cuccos, which were the small white birds she had pinned. Link told her his story of how he was looking for his brother and his banishment from the forest and she listened with interest. "Though, I am sorry you lost your brother the adventure sounds so exciting" After this they said their goodnights and she lied down. Link lay awake, thinking of Thian a long time before finally falling asleep.
