I just wanted to say sorry for all of the false announcements before. This is my first story with chapters in it so I had to retry a lot of times. I'm going to try and make this long as an apology. Here's the third chapter!
The orange haired boy had blacked out. When he opened his eyes again, he was in the castle's throne room with a very shocked princess Zelda and her court. The boy was shaking so hard that it looked like an earth quake was happening.
" What happened?" Zelda asked confused and dumbfounded.
" P-p-princess Zelda! He's back! He told me to come here and to tell you a message! He killed all 9 of the others but spared me to tell you the message! He's strong! He killed our best fighter with magic! There all dead!" the boy sobbed." What was the message boy?" Zelda asked in her comforting voice." He said that he hopes that you had a fulfilling life, and that links coming home." The boy managed to say. The room was quiet. Too quiet. Zelda went over this information in her mind. Link? Alive? Coming here? Impossible. She stood up suddenly and everyone looked to her.
" Ready the guards and call the town's people to a meeting in an hour! I want every single guard within reach guarding the town. All of castle town's mages are to be brought here too. castle towns is under full lock down, and have archers on the roof tops and tell them to shoot any wolf they spy within a hundred yards of castle town. Now!" Zelda ordered.
The room busied with action." D-do you really think that will stop him?" the boy asked hopefully." No." she answered. All hope vanished." Why not?" he asked." because if he wanted this to be easy, he would've killed you and teleported straight here, not send us a warning. No, he wants to toy with us. He wants me to suffer, but I swear that to my last dying breath I will not allow him to take me down easily, no, I will fight until I take him down with me!"
Link smiled in satisfaction as he heard yells and orders being screamed from the mouths of people from the castle. Good job little boy, he thought making a mental note not to kill him in his rage. He closed his senses and went to the horses pulling the carts. They had whip scars on their backs. This made him frown.
" They beat you?" he asked.
" only when we do not listen or we must go faster. Truthfully, we're thankful for you taking them off our hooves link. We will live much happier lives now." One said." I can send epona here and she will lead you to a hidden cave where you may stay and rest with her until my business is finished if you would like." he suggested.
" Thank you link. We would be most grateful for that. We are sorry for what happened all those years ago link. My mother told me all about it. We are very sorry." The horse said. Link blinked." Thank you for your sympathy. I wish hyrulian's were as understanding as you." He said." Our pleasure link." The horse said. Than link went a few feet away from them, and howled a black and red portal opened and epona came racing out of it.
" What is it link? Do you need help?" she asked." no epona. But these horses do. I'm going to cut them loose, but the supplies and the horses go back to the cave. Can you watch over them?" he asked.
" of course link." She answered. Link muttered something and, as if invisible swords had done it, the harnesses bounding the horses to the cart was cut, leaving them free. Epona neighed for them to follow her, and they did, while the wagons magically floated in after them. Once everyone was through the portal, the red and black faded away into squares.
Link looked at the spot where it was for a moment, before nodding, and looking back at the castle. After another hour of waiting, he took off at a speedy run. Your death is coming princess Zelda.
Back at the castle, Zelda had gathered all of the warriors, and magic users, as well as the archers. Rusl, ashie, and auru were part of them. As part of Zelda's personal guards that is. They had been gathering the people of castle town for a little over an hour now, and finally, every member was present. They stood in front of the stage put up quickly in front of the door into the castle itself, worried as to why the princess called them to this late of a meeting. With her guards surrounding her, the princess walked onto the stage with a smile, trying to calm them down.
" People of castle town! Thank you for joining me for an emergency meeting. Two hours ago, a boy was teleported into my throne room, scarred out of his mind. He came with grave news. The group of men I sent out to west Hyrule field was killed but the creature left him alive to give me a message. Not only that its goal was to kill me, but also it said who it was. The last part of the message, link is coming home." She explained.
Cries of horror and fear rang out in castle town. They all knew of the hero of time that could transform into a wolf, and had personally called for his head on a stick. Now he was coming to get revenge on them. No one could stop the wolf. It was clear. It was going to kill Zelda.
Link made it to the gates of castle town quickly. Three rows of guards stood on the bridge, looking scared out of their minds, and link spotted archers. He smiled. This is going to be fun. He made a quick spell where nothing could wound him, and he stood up to as tall as he could, knowing that they would see him.
They screamed, but put out their weapons, the archers taking shots already. Link barked and ran towards them, claws out, teeth showing. He felt arrow after arrow hit him, but due to his power, it didn't even weaken the shield. All it did was make it stick to his fur. He jumped over the rows of soldiers and ran straight to the arch. They ran after him, the archers moving along the roofs with them.
Link laughed to himself as he ran to the fountain where everyone was gathered. He willed to dissolve into the shadows just before the people saw him, and he disappeared. The soldiers ran into the fountain, wide eyed, shaking, and scarred. Everyone just looked at them.
" W-where is he? He ran this way!" one guard said. Their eyes widened.
" Why didn't he fight? Or more importantly why didn't the archers stop him?" Zelda asked.
" they fired princess Zelda! He's like the undead! They stuck out of his fur, but he never weakened! There were close to ten arrows in him by the time he jumped over us, and it was like they didn't even hurt!" the guard answered. At that moment, the guards for south Hyrule field came running, the same as the west guards were.
" We just saw him! He just jumped over us and ran! We threw our extra swords at him while the archers used arrows, but they only stuck to his pelt!" the guard exclaimed. Then, the guards for east Hyrule field came running, the same s the west and south guards." We saw him!" was all he cried.
" Link will appear soon. He brought all of the guards together for some reason." Zelda said. Eyes started darting all around the area. Link smiled at their faces. He barked. The people cried out in fear.
Just then, iron gates blocked the exits of the area, and the people were scarred. Link laughed out loud." Why Zelda, you haven't changed a bit, have you?" link asked walking onto the stage." Why are you here link?" the princess asked, eyes narrowing as she looked in the area, trying to find the wolf.
" You got my message. You know why I am here. I am coming home." He said starting to circle the princess." This is not your home!" she roared. He stopped behind her, and leaned in close so that his mouth was next to her ear.
" On the contrary Zelda. It has been my home for as long as I was born." He said softly. Zelda's eyes widened and she flung around, surprising everyone with her hand slapping the mist behind her. It didn't hurt link, nor did her hand actually hit something, but he was angry. Willing his shadow self to be able to touch non shadow things, he lunged at her bringing her onto her back, and holding her down with his paws at her shoulders. Just as quickly, he got off. Zelda stood up quickly.
" I am more than rightful the hero, blue-eyed beast, or bearer of the triforce of courage, Zelda. In my time I have been away, I have used it to study and expand my magic, and it has worked. One week ago, I preformed a spell that showed my life up to where I was. I wanted to revisit the good times before you accused me of murdering any hylian in this form on my journey which I did not. I can't say it anymore for now. Anyways, something shocked and surprised me. I saw my parents Zelda, and do you know who they were? Well let me give you a clue, sister." Link said.
Everyone gasped. Eyes wide, mouths hanging open." T-the princess has the blood of a murder!" one cried." To death!" another called. Zelda looked shocked at the crowd. After faithful years of service to them, this is how they repay her?
Link smiled and went back to her said," it is true. I am your younger brother, Zelda. Look. Look what they are doing. The once faithful towns people now turn against you just because you share my blood. Because of something you aren't. but together, we can show them that they have no power over us. together, we can make Hyrule pay. People who I forgot to collect have heard it Zelda, and are leaving to towns and villages. Soon everyone will hear, and you'll feel how I felt all those years ago. You're so called friends betraying you, the so called faithful people of the queen asking for your blood. Together, Zelda, we can show them that they do not own us. That they do not and will not make us back down because they yell for something that only we can do. Join me Zelda. We will show all of Hyrule that they do not own us. Join me."
She was truly thinking it over. She felt anger, hatred, and pain in her heart. Most of all, anger. How dare they do something like this.
" Get their attention link." She said angrily. He nodded, and barked and howled ferociously. The towns people quieted." How dare you. How dare you! I have given up blood of my own for all of Hyrule and just because I share the same blood as that of an exile you question my judgment and ask for my blood too! Well no more! Now link!" she yelled, holding out her left arm, pulling the sleeve back.
Without another moment's hesitation, link slid out of the shadows, and bit down, hard, on his sister's skin. Zelda cried out, and archers and guards started trying to kill him. They just stuck to his fur though, and the town's people were crying out in surprise.
A black but bright light came from where links teeth were still embedded in Zelda's arm until everyone had to look away. Link, on the other hand, just let go, and looked to his side. Once everyone looked back, they gasped. Now next to link, was a golden wolf. (She looks a lot like the wolf form of the old hero, but with grayish/greenish eyes) it was Zelda, now in her own wolf form.
Link smiled at his sister, though Zelda was eldest, he was taller than her." We will return soon. Oh, and midna? Welcome back. Ask rusl or one of them what happened." Link said with a smirk. Then link made a portal and he and his sister disappeared. From the shadows next to them, a figure stepped from the shadows. She had fiery red hair and eyes, and pale blue skin. She had a shocked expression. It was Midna.
DUN-DUN-DUUUUNNNN! Bet you guys weren't expecting that! The way midna returns to Hyrule will be explained the more we get into the story. I am a huge fan of Zelda and Link being brother and sister, so I wanted to add where she gets the curse too and blah blah blah, she's evil! I'll try to get the next chapter done today. If not today, than tomorrow. And don't worry, THIS IS NOT A LINKXMIDNA! I just really like her so I added her. Well, there's the third chapter! Thanks for reading it and PLEASE review. Bye!
