It was noon, and Fado was eating his lunch of fresh goat's milk, and a small sandwich that consisted of lettuce, boiled egg, and a few thin slices of meat. He would have said it was a peaceful lunch, but Hardinger was trying to eat it on him and he had to keep warding the ravenous goat away from his meal.
"No, Hardy," Fado scolded and pushed the goat away. He never understood how Hardy could snack so much all the time and still be hungry. It was a wonder that goat wasn't fat yet, with all the eating he did.
All of a sudden, the field was filled with the outlandish noise that Fado recognized as something coming out of the large portal hanging in the sky.
Small black squares fell like rain through the air, forming on the ground into the shape of a familiar wolf… and something else? Staring in surprise, Fado watched the new form take shape. It was clutching the wolf- no, Link, he told himself. It was clutching Link's fur in a death grip. It seemed to be some sort of Hylian; a Hylian that looked as if it had eaten nothing for decades. Then he saw the thing in full form. Now he realized why it looked like skin and bones- It was a living, gruesome skeleton, half wrapped in peeling bandages and a huge sword slung across its back.
The wolf struggled underneath the monster, and managed to scramble away. The skeleton let out an unearthly roar. Fado couldn't move. It seemed the roar was affecting Link too, because he was also as still as a statue. The creature advanced towards Link, lifting its sword slowly. However, before he could reach the wolf, the skeleton was plowed over by a speedy, blinking red blur. Fado stared in amazement.
"Prim!" he gasped. Indeed, it was a very mad Prim the goat. Though the creature's screams might affect himself and Link, it apparently did not extend to farm animals. Prim shoved the skeleton towards the barn. She was literally red from anger. Fado had always wondered about that. Whenever the goats became mad enough, their fur turned cherry red. He hadn't ever quite figured out how that worked, but it was a great warning sign to get out of their way.
The skeleton roared in anger, gripping its sword and swinging it in a wide circle. The tip of the sword plowed through the side of the barn like warm butter, bits and splinters of wood flying across the field. Unfazed, Prim charged again and chomped down on a leg. Instantly, the creature collapsed and exploded into dust, including the sword. Slowly, Fado shifted his eyes between the pile of dust, the hole in the barn's siding, and the gray wolf, who was gazing at him guiltily with wide blue eyes.
He was going to have a serious talk with Link.
A/N Sorry! It's short! But I was having serious writer's block on it, and couldn't think of what else to add. However, it's a cliffie! :D I feel evil now. The poll won 2 to nothing for Link's interrogation as a separate chapter, which will be the next one! Will either post it today or tomorrow, so keep a lookout!
If nobody gives me any more ideas, then this story will be around five more chapters long, so yeah.
Now for the guest reviewer!
TheBestGuest- well you're in luck, the Link interrogation will be next chapter!
Cheers!
