Chapter 2- Say What?
I DO NOT own TLOZ. However, I DO own a character (OC) that will be coming into the novel later...who is it? You'll have to wait and see...
The five of them stared at each other. "...What?" Blue held up his hands again. "Hang on-your name is Link too?" Said Link nodded. "Yeah. But you guys have nicknames, right?" "...Yes..." Meanwhile, Red had wandered over and had picked up the teenager's sword. To say the least, it was truly magnificent. Sure, it had...was that blood? He severally hoped that it was rust- on the lower half of the cross-guard that looked like a blue bird's wing's spread in flight, and the blade, and sure, the golden diamond on both sides of where the blade and cross-guard met was dimmed, and also, the hilt and blade looked like it had taken a beating, (Going off of the awesome BotW design here) but it was still amazing to look at. Red swung the blade a few times, which attracted the older boy's attention. "Red, i don't think you should be swinging his sword..." "No, it's fine. Really. Besides, in the state I'm in, it's better if someone has it other than me..." Red lowered the sword to the ground, picked up what had to be it's sheath, and carefully slid the sword into it.
He then got back up, slung the sword over his shoulder, and walked back to the others. Blue, Green and Vio marveled over the sword, or what was visible. "Just look at it!" Vio started to go on about "the sword's craftsmanship", and how he was impressed that it had stayed in its present state for so long.
A few minutes later, the Heroes of the Four Sword managed to get a name out of the teenager. He would now go by "Derek". (Goodbye old name, hello new one.)
Then came the issue that Derek had been injured. In several places. He shouldn't have walked the distance he had, but he had walked for quite some time, which had caused his wounds to become even worse. His condition had worsened as well, which meant that, yes, they had found out (to their shock) that he was a shapeshifter. It wasn't intentional, but the state of his wounds had caused them to become infected, which, in turn, as you might except, lead to something else.
At the moment, Green was carrying a very sick animal in his arms; Blue, Vio, and Red were trailing behind him. He was feeling self-conscious at the moment, one reason was because Derek's wounds had somehow reopened, and were now sore and festering (not fun). Derek himself was slipping in and out of consciousness, and Green knew that he only had one option-to get to Hyrule Castle as soon as possible.
