The Legendary Mira
Chapter 3
Wasting none of what little precious time she had left, Mira immediately began sprinting towards the gate that led to the center of Ordon Village. The relentless assault of the wind whipped her long hair back behind her like a roaring mane. The harsh rays of light from the sun slowly dimmed, as if hiding from the impending danger. Whinnies of fright and bleats of terror quickly met her eardrums as the animals inside Yura's stables were becoming restless.
"Mira!" Yura shouted at her friend. Mira skidded to a halt in the lively grass, nearly losing her traction and falling on her butt. She rotated to face Yura, who was pushing the wheels on her chair powerfully as she made her way to the small house to the right of the stable full of frightened animals. Oh come on! Mira thought fearfully, I heard at least ten war cries. No way that Jak can fend off that many.
Yura returned from the depths of her petite home with a small sheath placed on her immobilized legs. Mira dashed towards her friend, greatly reducing the distance between the two women. Innocent daisies were crushed as her sandals thumped against the earth. Yura's face was splattered with worry. Her hand quivering, she placed the small sheath in Mira's hands. Mira recognized it as a dagger, one that she herself had given to Yura for her fifteenth birthday.
The blade itself was curved slightly, closely resembling an animal's tooth. The hilt was embroidered with elegant streaks of red and black. With a shocked expression, Mira stammered "A-are you sure? You w-won't have anything t-to defend yourself with."
"I'll be fine." Yura assured, a tiny smile forming at her lips, "I have a shelter in my house. You run along and make sure those little kids are okay." With an encouraging nod, Yura rapidly made her way back to her house, slamming the door behind her violently. Exhaling deeply, Mira bent over and bonded the tight leather straps around her thigh, cold metal producing goosebumps on her smooth skin. In a heartbeat, she kicked on her heel and began her feverish sprint towards Ordon, where all hell was breaking loose.
Dogs barked madly, birds fled the panicking village, citizens were in a frenzy as they gathered their children, and the horrifying sounds of shrieking Mokoblins was drawing closer and closer. Mira ceased her running on the top of the small bridge she had previously been on, the boards once again grunting under her weight. Oh shut up, Mira thought angrily, do you see an inch of fat on this body? Feeling even dumber for arguing with an inanimate object, she scanned the area with her hawk-like eyes for Hank, Hannah, and Emilia. Shit where are they?
"Mira!" a feminine voice cried out to her. Promptly, she turned to see a tall, slim woman running towards her. The woman's hair was extremely long, stretching down to her rump, and flowed behind her like a wave of chocolate. Fear was encased in the mint of her gorgeous eyes. A ruby glistened in the dull light on her left ring finger. The brown dress she wore extended down to her knees, and hugged her curves. Mira right away established that it was Maria, the mother of Hank, Daz, and Garret.
"Oh thank the Goddesses in the Sacred Realm I found you." Maria breathed, leaning over slightly. She must have been looking for Hank. Mira thought, attempting to find the children once more. The small plain where they had been playing their adorably cute game of tag was now empty, imaginary tumbleweeds slowly rolling by.
"Have you seen Hank anywhere?" Maria asked, a hint of hope in her voice. Sorrowfully, Mira shook her head in response, watching with a grim expression as the older female's spirits slowly died.
"I was just going to ask you the same exact thing. Last I saw, he was playing with Hannah and Emilia near the pumpkin patch." she said. The deafening howls of Mokoblins shattered Mira's eardrums. The fear of the children being lost during an invasion was the only thing present in her mind. Oh Nayru, what if they get kidnapped? she asked herself. What if they get killed?
Snap out of it! she snapped at herself, trying her best to dispose of the bone-chilling scenarios. Stop worrying so damn much and actually look for them! There's no point in living if you're too pussy to just act on instinct!
Before Mira could argue with the cryptic voice in her mind, a sickening crunch collided with her sense of hearing. A scream in agony followed the excruciating sound. All of Hyrule seemed to screech to an eerie halt. The beams of solar energy continued to lose their brilliance. The happy flowers terminated their bouncy dances in the cool spring breeze. The shriek of pain sounded spookily familiar to Mira. It was a deep, rich voice, one jam-packed with authority and bravery.
It was Jak's voice.
FUCK! Without so much as a grunt or gesture of good-bye, Mira took off instantly towards the passageway that led to her house, leaving Maria behind in the dust, on the verge of fainting. Her legs thundered on the dirt, the dagger around her thigh clanging with every booming collision of her foot to the ground. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO! Mira's thoughts were in a chaotic frenzy; she wasn't even sure of what she was thinking about. All she knew was that Jak was probably unconscious or dead, the kids were missing, and a huge pack of infuriated Mokoblins was getting dangerously close to the humble settlement which she called home.
She arrived at her home front, her treehouse standing tall and proud. Circling the perimeter of her home were five figures, two of them resembling men looming over the smaller ones. On the ground below was a bulky figure, lying face up on the pureness of the grass, his eyelids shut tight. Blood was smeared on his cheek, his expression was one of agony, and a monstrous gash was on his left shoulder, an ocean of red underneath it.
"Jak!" Mira muttered, running up to the severely wounded warrior. The two men turned around to face her, revealing themselves to be Garret and Daz. The brothers were panting in near perfect sync, globs of sweat streaming down their bronzed faces. The two seemd to have carried their father from the forest, away from the menacing Mokoblins that had nearly killed him.
"What happened?" Mira demanded, causing both of the boys to flinch at the venom in her voice.
"Those douche bags had Dad cornered," Daz began, casting a glance at his father, " and one of them made a ballsy move. Snuck behind him and plunged its club right into his shoulder." Jak sputtered, more blotches of crimson tainting the earth.
"Daddy..." a shaky voice behind Mira murmured. The beauty nearly cried in relief. It was Hank's voice. They must have tried to hide in my house. she thought. She turned to see Hannah and Emilia staring up at her, anxiety in the orbs of their young eyes. Kneeling down despite the shouts of conflict from her joints, she asked the two "You girls okay?"
Bodies quivering, the two girls slowly nodded their heads. This place isn't safe for them.
"Garret!" Mira roared at the older boy. The boy cringed at the fierceness in her heavenly voice.
"Listen to me very carefully." she began, pointing her index finger to his face, "get these kids outta here now. I'll deal with those damn Mokoblins." Mira took note that Garret's gaze was not aimed towards her face, but lower, towards her chest. Furiously, she balled her hand into a fist and backhanded him across his kinky mug. He smashed onto the ground with a groan of torment.
"Stop staring at my boobs and just do it, dumbass!" she growled at him, poison trailing her words. Of all times for him to stare at my boobs, he decides NOW would be the best time, when the safety of the village is in danger?
"Mira?" Hannah asked slowly, a slight droplet of fear in her adolescent voice. Disposing of the displeased look on her face, she turned to look at the younger girl with a forced smile on her features, trying so hard not to kill the ignorant teenager lying on the ground.
"What are boobs?" It took all of the strength in Mira's fatigued body not to slap herself across the face. Why did I say that around her? she mused, the question never to be answered.
"Ummm..." the blonde started, her cheeks rapidly turning pink. Dammit, how do I tell this to a five year old! "Boobs are...are..." She cast a glance over to Daz, who just shrugged his shoulders, an amused smile painted on his face. Angrily, she mouthed 'I will rip your balls off.' Yelping, Daz's hands shot towards his member, shaking once again.
"Hannah, boobs are something only girls have..." Mira said nervously, rubbing the back of her head, trying to end the conversation quickly.
"Oh! Are they," the little girl began, pointing up at Mira's own breasts, "those?" The pink on her face deepening into a crimson, Mira answered "Yeah, that's what boobs are."
"Oh, okay! Are they always so big?" What, woah, wait WHAT? Did, she just say that I have big boobs? Did such an innocent five year old girl really tell me that I have big boobs?
"Um...no actually. Not all of them are...this big." the busty blonde stammered, trying to understand what was truly going on. "I guess I'm...special?"
With an excited look on her face, Hannah said "I hope mine will be as big as yours!" Oh Nayru. I'm corrupting her mind. "Yeah, uh, that'd be nice...?"
"Yeah! I bet Hank will like that too!" Oh Nayru. What the fuck am I doing to this kid?
"Yeah, I bet he would like that." she answered, literally face palming herself. Before Hannah could respond, Mira ran towards the forest entryway, which was teeming with a chorus of Mokoblin war cries.
Before she did, however, she glanced down at her chest. Are my boobs really that big?
