Chapter 7
"Let me out! I am the Hero who saved Hyrule against Ganondorf! Please you have to listen to me! Everyone is in danger if you don't let me out!" Link cried out, trying to reach the guards standing guard over his cell. Neither guard even so much as glanced at him, and Link scowled, getting angry, and walked away from the bars on his cell. He leaned against the hard brick wall and closed his eyes.
His weapons were taken from him, leaving him only his tunic and hat. He was placed in a different cell than Dark had been placed in, or the cell he had been tossed in during his time in the Twilight Realm.
There has to be a way out of here. I have escaped many cells in my past lives, I can get out of this one too...
Link felt along the walls, hoping for some type of crevice so he could possibly get out, but the walls were sturdy and there was no way out.
The only way out is where the guards are, and there is no way they won't knock me out again if I manage to get out that way. Wait! This cell isn't the same one I was in in this castle, but maybe it will still work...
Link leaned casually against the bars, glancing at the guards to see if either were looking at him. Both were clearly ignoring him, probably due to his constant begging. Link used his left foot to kick at some of the dirt and hay near the bottom of the bars. His eyes brightened when he saw a small gap under the bars and soft dirt as well.
Perfect! I can transform into my wolf form and get out of here! I will be faster than them, so I just have to run and hope I can figure it out!
Link sat down and pretended to sleep against the cell walls, deciding to wait until the guards switched with two others, and then he would escape.
After an hour had passed, Link heard footsteps and he twitched but pretended to still be asleep. The guards talked among themselves with the new guards before Link heard one say, "Take care, I gotta go get some grub."
Link quickly shifted into his wolf form and dug his way out of the cell, getting onto the other side, and shocking the new guards.
"Wha-? Hey get back in there!" One yelled. Link growled and took off, running as fast as his legs would let him. He ran past the two guards heading home, shocking them as well as they gave chase. Link ran along the dark long corridor, moving to side to side to avoid arrows being shot at him He noticed a pair of stairs leading up, and quickly ran up the stairs. A wooden door sat at the top, and Link could hear the guards following, so he knew he had no time to shift to human form just to open the door.
Lowering his head, he crashed through the wooden door, and growled when he felt a piece of wood jabbed into his side. Link stumbled forward, quickly turning his head, grabbing the piece of wood in his jaws, and ripping it out, yelping at the pain. He heard yells of more guards, and quickly ran forward, heading up more stairs before finding himself exiting a side door next to the castle that led to a courtyard.
The walls around the courtyard were over 10 feet tall. No way a wolf could scale the walls, Link would need his clawshot for it.
Link stopped and looked around, looking for a way out. An arrow lodge itself into the ground only an inch away from his back legs. Link barked and turned around, facing a now much bigger group of guards and soldiers.
Link could feel his blood pumping through his veins. He knew that the guards were scared of wolves, for he would often shift into one to scare them in the Castle town, even when Midna yelled at him to knock it off.
Link barked and lowered his head to the ground, barring his teeth and stalking towards them. A few looked uncertain, but a Leader commanded them to attack.
"He is still the Hero, he wouldn't dare hurt us! Get him!" The guards and soldiers regained their senses and rushed towards Link. Link knew the leader was right, he wouldn't hurt them; he couldn't bring himself to do so. The walls were too high to scale, so Link was ready to just give up and be taken in again.
Suddenly a swarm of bees came out of no where and attacked two soldiers, causing them to panic and flee. Link lifted his head and turned around, shocked to see the self-proclaimed Princess Agitha of the bugs float down with her parasol. The little girl smiled and curtsied. "Hello Wolfy!" She said happily. Link shifted to his human form and stared her down in shock. "Agitha? What are you doing here?"
"Saving you of course!" She giggled. Link was confused, and it wasn't until he heard footsteps behind him that he turned around and faced the guards and soldiers. One let out a roar and rushed straight at Link. Link was ready to at least defend himself, now that he had Agitha to worry about as well. A frying pan flew past Link's head and hit the soldier straight in the face. Link glanced back and was face to face with giant breasts.
"Ah... I know who these belong to.." Link chuckled and looked up, facing the great Telma herself. She winked. "Hey cutie! My cat Louise was acting strange and lead us here. I knew my baby never acted strange unless one of my friends was in danger."
Agitha walked next to Telma and giggled. "We have been trying to figure out how to come save you, but you got yourself out!"
Link laughed and turned to face the rest of the guards. The Leader was angry.
"You two ladies are under arrest for helping an escapee and attacking the royal guards!"
Telma winked at them. "Oh please. Anytime now Auru."
Suddenly the wall next to the guards and soldiers exploded, debris and rocks flying everywhere, along with many soldiers getting knocked unconscious or fleeing. Auru walked through the wall with his giant cannon on his gruff shoulders. He grinned and Link. "Hello kid! Hope you weren't waiting long!"
Link laughed. "You guys are too much!"
Agitha giggled and waved her parasol around. "Come on! Let's go!"
Everyone ran off the castle grounds through the broken wall and escaped to the bar for a quick refresh.
Telma brough drinks to the tired party, and everyone met up with the young Ashei fighter and Shad who had his face buried in a map. Link and Agitha sat down at the wooden table in the back of the room. Agitha was immediately focused on Louise as she pet the fluffy cat laying on the table.
"Welcome Link," Ashei said, crossing her arms and glancing at the door. "Don't you worry your little head girl! Louise will warn us if the soldiers are coming." Telma winked at Ashei and handed her a drink, earning a sigh from the black-haired warrior.
Telma handed Link a drink as well, filled with a type of alcohol and then handed Agitha a cup of milk.
Link sipped at it before choking and putting it down with disgust. Ashei chuckled and gulped her drink down in one gulp. Auru was busy in a corner with his cannon.
"So how are we getting out of here exactly? I mean everyone is basically a wanted criminal now for helping me." Link stated.
"Not me." Ashei said bored.
"Nor I." Shad replied, his nose still buried into the map.
"You two are in it as much as we are. They know you two come in here a lot along with the rest of us, except for sweet Agitha. You two will be suspects as much as we are."
"Alright, so I have been studying this map for quite some time an-"
"We know." Ashei said, interrupting Shad. He gave her a pointed look before clearing his throat.
"And I have figured that if we escape through the rivers leading to the Zora's domains, we would be better off."
"How are we gonna do that?" Agitha asked.
"You know that area well, you are always over there looking for bugs. There is a large gap that if fallen into, leads to a river that leads away from the castle. The water is strong, and thus the fastest rather than leaving on foot."
"Why not get some horses?" Ashei asked. Telma walked up to the table and wrung her hands with a towel."
"That would be a no sweetheart. We would have to go ask the stable master for them, and not only is he close to the castle, closer than we would want to be, but he once use to be a soldier. No doubt he has already heard news of us."
"Then that escape is our only way out." Link said. Standing up and straightening his belt.
Everyone agreed and rushed out of the bar, and not a moment too soon. Louise started to meow and followed the group. "Hurry everyone! The guards will be here in about 5 minutes!" Telma shouted.
The group turned to the right, and saw a huge bustling crowd. "Darn!" Ashei growled. Shad shoved his glasses further up his nose. "We have to get through!"
"Hold on!" Link yelled, shifting into wolf form and growling. The few people nearby saw Link and screamed, soon causing chaos that lead to an opening out. Link and the group rushed through and made it outside.
Because of the chaos still inside the castle town walls, the soldiers could not figure out where the group had gone, so they were safe for the time being.
Now standing at the edge of the ground leading to the water below, the group was a bit edgy in jumping; that is, except for Link, who was use to it, and Agitha, who was, as usual, giggling and giddy.
"We don't have time to think, just jump!" Link told them, before jumping. Agitha soon followed, giggling and opening her parasol as she glided down to the water. The rest jumped soon after landing with a splash in the water.
Telma was able to stay above the water with ease, with a very unhappy Louise on her head. Shad was stuck to a log, Ashei looked bored, and Auru dog-paddled through the water, clearly not much of a swimmer.
Agitha was sitting on her open parasol, using it as a little boat, and Link used his swimming skills he had inherited during his time in the Water Temple (ugh).
After a few minutes, the group ended up in Lake Hylia, climbing onto land soaked and tired.
After a moment Link stood up and started to ring out his wet tunic.
"Really that eager to go find your shadow boy?" Auru asked, patting the side of his head to get water out of his ears. id
"I don't expect anyone to follow me, but once we reach the beginning of Zora's domain, I am rushing to the Sacred Grove no matter what. I feel as if Dark is there, I can just feel it! I love Dark and I am going to save him. Curse me if you must for being a gay, but I love him and will do whatever it takes to save him!" Link clenched his fists, his eyes sparkling with determination.
Agitha stood up and took Link's fist in her's, smiling up at him. "I will help you little green bug!" She giggled. Link smiled and bent down, hugging her. "Thank you Agitha, but I don't want you anywhere near the battle that may happen."
Agitha pouted. "I can help too!"
Telma put her hand on Agitha's shoulder. "The little one is right Link, she is a strong girl and she won't be alone. I am coming too! And Louise will make sure to watch her when we get to the Sacred Grove." Link looked down at the fluffy white cat, who in turn meowed at him.
Link sighed and looked at the group. "Do you all feel like this? You all want to come?"
Shad shoved his glasses higher up his face. "It will give me a chance to write down everything i see for further experiments."
"I wish to prove myself a good companion to you in the face of danger." Ashei said, crossing her arms.
"You know me and my cannon are itching for some fun!" Auru said, grinning and straightening the giant cannon on his shoulder.
"You know I am coming boy," Telma winked. "I gotta keep a close eye on ya and make sure you get enough sleep and food on this journey. Who knows how much you probably have avoided sleep as it is." Link blushed and scratched his neck.
"It has been a while since I slept..." He admitted. A soft small hand linked into his. Link looked down and saw Agitha. She gave him a big smile. "I want to help you get Dark back!" Link smiled back.
"Thank you Agitha. And thank you everyone!" Link smiled.
"So, where to next pretty boy?" Telma asked. Link turned his back to her and look at her over his shoulder. "
"To Kakariko Village! I need to see if I can get a sword and shield from Malo's shop." Everyone nodded, and got ready to set out towards the village.
