Heart pounding like the beating of a royal drum, Link realized what he had done. Setting a demon loose in the wilderness?! What was I thinking?! The creature was probably hunting down some innocent child and killing her right now.
Link dashed forward, going along the trail as fast as he could. . A girlish scream sounded, and a deep animal roar followed. It sounds like…..a giant boar? …I wasn't thinking when I saved that demon and now people are going to die… Guilt settled in his chest like an infection.
Not looking at the ground, his foot snagged on a root and Link lurched down, landing hard on the dirt and scraping his hands. Shitshitshit…
Link wondered if the demon had somehow bewitched him. He was an A-class assassin. It shouldn't be possible. Years of training had guaranteed that his senses were always alert, that his mind was always razor sharp. He would've been dead by now if it wasn't.
The trail soon bended into the deep woods, ancient trees leaning down ominously. Leaves rotted on the mushy ground. The forest smelled of dying things and cold, crisp air.
He was going to kill Ghira. He should never have trusted him from the beginning.
Link could almost taste the blood on his tongue.
He heard another shriek from around the far corner, and felt the ground rumble beneath his feet, as if something enormous had just collapsed on the earth.
He sprinted, feeling the familiar liquid fire of exertion burn through his veins.
He rounded the corner, faster than wind.
Link couldn't believe what he saw.
A/N: I decided to write a super small chapter thingy because my computer broke and I won't be able to update for a month or so (sorrysorrysorry x((( ) Rest assured, I am always working on this fic, whether it be on comp or on paper. Oh, and to the person who asked what the ships in this fic were (thx for reviewing btw), I was thinking about making it ghiralink, but zelink is also possible... I guess it's gonna depend on reader feedback. See you in a month, and please review! it might make me update faster...
