The Hyrulian Valhalla Saga
By Queenie Z
In Ur House, Makin' Ur Mess
Wind sighed as he shut the door, tossed his sheathed sword to the side, and kicked off his boots. It had been a long day for the Hero of Winds, who had been out feeding his insatiable hunger for exploration and adventure, and now all he wanted was a nice, hot bath and a long nap.
After stretching his arms, he headed up the stairs, passing by the door to his room on his way to the bathroom. He stopped in his tracks, however, when he heard strange noises coming from his bedroom. Though in this peaceful afterlife he had very little to worry about in terms of intruders and thieves, the young Hero reached into his pouch and pulled out his bow, fitting it with an arrow as he backed against the wall. He frowned and took a deep breath before kicking the door open and aiming his weapon.
He nearly dropped it, however, when he noticed what was inside - hair. Animal hair, and lots of it. It covered everything; the floor, the rug, the dresser drawer upon which numerous pictures of his family stood - but most of all, it covered his bed. And, speaking of the bed, that was where he found the source of the problem; a familiar grey wolf shaking his molted fur off of himself and onto the sheets.
Wind lowered his bow and turned bright red in anger. "Twilight!" he yelled, "Twilight, what the hell did you do to my room!?"
The wolf looked at the boy, his eyes sparkling in what could be called amusement as he cheerfully wagged his tail (which further covered the bed in fur).
"Don't give me that," said Wind through gritted teeth. "What makes you think you can come in here and shed all over my stuff, huh!?"
Twilight's laughter filled the room as he changed back into his human form, rolling over so that he was sitting on the edge of the mattress. "Well," he said with a cheeky grin, "for one, it's payback."
"Payback!? For what!?" Suddenly, a thought hit the younger Link, and he placed his hands on his hips in irritation. "Oh, come on, Twilight, you're seriously still sore over that game of Go Fish!?"
"Not sore, but forcing Sky and I to make out warrants a little revenge, don't you think?" He crossed his legs, nonchalantly picking fur off of his tunic. "Besides, this isn't half as bad as what Sky had planned for Engie."
"Wait," said Wind with wide eyes, "what did he do to Engie!? If you guys hurt him I swear I'll — "
He was interrupted by a loud scream from outside. Recognizing it as his successor, Wind rushed to the window and peered outside. He gaped at the sight - Engie was running for dear life from a gaggle of angry cuccos, and Sky was behind them, laughing as he egged the birds on!
"Ahahaha! Go get him, guys!" cackled Sky in an uncharacteristically sadistic tone.
Poor Engie simply screamed some more, swerving around the corner of the house until he and the angry flock were both out of sight. Once again, Twilight began to laugh, and Wind narrowed his eyes at him.
"You're horrible," he said, "you and Sky both."
Twilight just shrugged. They may have been horrible, sure, but that did nothing to sour the taste of sweet, sweet revenge.
