I'm back! Sorry I've been gone so long. Erg! Hate being grounded. Anyway, on with the story.
Chapter Five
How to Fight a Fish
The Pirates' Fortress was very large to Aryll, but not to Link and Tetra. Since they had sailed a good distance, they saw a lot of fortresses. Link glanced at the pirate
leader. She seemed to be friendly, but based on his experiences, Link knew better than to trust her. Tetra was impressed with the design, but nothing else. As they sat in
the boat, no one noticed a large fish following them. In the fortress, they were shown to a guest room and told to remain in there unless summoned. Link nodded and the
pirate left. Tetra glanced at the window. "I hope the crew is all right." Aryll glanced at her. "Your crew?" Tetra nodded. Link explained. "A cyclone swept up the ship. We
haven't seen the others." Aryll looked down. She didn't notice a loose board hanging overhead. Link did. "Aryll, come over here, please." Aryll obeyed. The board came
loose almost immediately. "What? How did that happen?" Link looked up and saw a small Keese fly off. "Majora must know we're here. Tetra, we'll have to take turns
keeping watch. I don't want to be ambushed in my sleep." Tetra nodded. A few hours later, they heard screaming coming from the docks. Link saw the doorknob turn and
gripped his sword. A pirate opened the door and said to them, "Run. A demon fish is attacking." Link grinned. The pirate looked at him. "How is that funny?" Link glanced
at her and said, "I deal with guys like that all the time." With that, he ran out to fight the monster. The monster, Gyorg, lunged at another boat, and Link leapt on top of him.
He then grabbed onto Gyorg, and said, "Hey, fish. What's up?" Gyorg dove, nearly knocking Link off. When Gyorg surfaced, Link was still holding on, with a blood-stained
sword. Link leapt off of Gyorg's dead body and onto the docks. A pirate asked him, "What'd you do?" Link smiled and said, "Stabbed him in the pressure points." The
pirate was confused. "Fish have pressure points?" Another pirate looked at her and said, "And you claim to be a pirate?" Link, Tetra, and Aryll then left, curious as to where
Romani Ranch is.
A/N
For those of you who were wondering, I was going to put Gyorg in his temple, but I decided it would be more interesting to have him sneak into the Pirates' Fortress. Bear with me on that. Other than that, we're all good. Right?
