Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 4
I looked back down at the girl before looking around the quiet forest. Dean had to be nearby, he couldn't just let this go. It was someone I knew, a threat in his eyes. Could a single god protect what was left of my connections back home that gave me a very fine false hope? There were five of them and not one stepped in?!
"I have to find my brother." Regan suddenly said taking me out of my thoughts in confusion.
"Brother? You don't have a brother." I told her.
Maybe her landing in Hyrule messed with her mind. Regan was an only child that lived in a house behind my cousins'. Besides, unless things changed, Jade, Regan's mother didn't seem too keen on having any other children let alone allow any other children near Regan.
"Brother? You don't have a brother." I told her.
"I guess you don't know with how you used to do missions, but I do… and he is in Hyrule someplace along with my friends and boyfriend."
She wasn't wrong about me keeping my head out of the news or keeping up with other people's lives. I had a lot of jobs to do between September and February that I worked through Christmas. I couldn't help but whistle at her progress. "You've been busy since you moved to Japan."
"Shut up, I'm being serious!" Regan hissed at me. That was new. "I don't know how they will be able to handle being here if the way we got here is through shadow magic. They could be in serious tro- ah!" Regan grasped her wound as I looked down at her in more confusion than I had. What the hell was shadow magic? "They are in trouble if there are monsters running around."
"Well if they have your abilities, I'm sure they'll be fine." Dark Link shrugged. "Whatever it is."
"I'm still not telling you." She replied before her legs gave out from under her.
I jumped off Hero in a panic. "Regan, what happened?!" There was a lot more blood that was hiding behind her hand than I realized. "Did he stab you?"
"Why do you always blame me?" Dark Link whined.
"Because you're usually the one responsible." I snapped up at him, glaring.
"It wasn't him, I was shot by Melissa." Regan told me before flashing a grin over at the male. "He couldn't even scratch me."
"I was going easy on you." He grumbled. Yea, sure you were bud. Obviously Regan had some training back in Japan before her grand entrance here.
"Do you have any potions on you?" I tossed the question at Dark Link.
"We left town before we could get any because you were too hasty to stick around."
I wanted to hit myself for being such an idiot and letting my emotions judge my priorities. That's people got killed. "Shit, we are going to have to get you to the nearest spring."
"How far away is that?" Regan asked.
"Not far, Faron Spring is just outside of these woods. Really easy."
"Um, yea about that easy trip." Dark Link started. "That might be difficult to accomplish."
I looked up to see several Bokoblins and Bulblins with fire arrows in the distance all ready for an order of attack. How did we miss their arrangement?
"Dammit, help me up." Regan said.
I looked down at her like she was nuts. "Regan, you can't be moving, you've lost too much blood."
"There's no way you are going to get three of us, on a Belgium horse, through that horde safely."
Hero snorted like he was insulted. Which he probably was, he was a proud horse.
"Hero can run them over." I defend my horse.
"And what about the ones in the trees and the ones on the rocks, is your horse suddenly Rainbow Dash?"
I blinked, since when was she snarky? "Uh, well… no, but-"
"I got the skulltulas in the trees." Dark Link stated as I looked up at him and he pulled out a bow. "Dean knew we were going to show up and set up a trap."
"You think?" It made sense on why Coro wasn't attacked when the horde apparently ran by. "Regan, you can't fight in your condition, we can take care of them."
"Before or after I bleed out?" Regan challenged. "Just help me up and I'll create a clearing in front of us."
She had a point but a question still stood. "How are you going to do that?"
"What you don't know about her ability?" Dark Link asked.
"That I think the second time you brought that up, Regan is-"
"Not normal." Regan stated. "Turns out a lot of things happen when you move to Japan. Now help me up or I'm going to help myself and make myself bleed faster."
I looked back at Dark Link and back down at her before sighing. I picked her up off the ground and she pulled her swords out. They turned into different colors that reminded me of the northern lights. She wandered over to the front line as I was about to pull out my sword to join her, but decided against it. She wasn't going to last long standing up on her own and we needed to leave the area as soon as we could so she wouldn't bleed out. A Skulltula fell to the ground and Regan swung her sword in an x form and two streams of the same color of light came from the swords and attacked the monsters in their paths killing them instantly. Whatever she was doing, was freaking impressive. It would have been handy with the monster gates if she was there. I got on Hero as Dark Link shot down three more Skulltulas before hopping on in front taking the reins. We went over to Regan as her swords seemed to charge up again and we picked her up off the ground and set her between the two of us for better protection. I wrapped her jacket around her wound so it wouldn't bleed as much over the next little bit through the woods.
"This next part isn't going to be pleasant as it's rather bumpy and there are a lot of corners." I told her. "Also, if you live, you're going to tell me what the fuck that was."
"Maybe…" Regan answered, she seemed really tired now which wasn't a good sign.
Whatever she did was going to attract a lot of unwanted attention by several unwelcomed guests. I shook my head. Things got a lot more complicated and was bound to get worse as the amount of time she stayed grew. We took several turns and Dark Link didn't even have to nudge Hero forward into the tiny opening to get him back out towards the spring. We stopped in front of the spring and I asked Dark Link to place Regan in the spring. He complied without a comment which was strange and immediately the blood disappeared from her clothing. Magic springs were the best thing in Hyrule by far and I loved them.
"Now if I had one of these at home, I wouldn't have needed to be in the medical ward for a few days and a visit a day for a week." Regan said happily as she stood up.
"Yeah well, when you're in a magic land, there needs to be magic pools that heal because of the monsters the land can create." I stated suddenly not loving the springs any more. The great things always had a reason to exist. Regan grabbed a sword from her sheath and swung it around. It was brighter than it had been in the forest and even seemed to spill a little of its light in the air. Whatever it was, it was connected to Regan.
"Are you alright?" I asked but she didn't answer as she was in her own little world. "Regan."
"Eh?" Regan asked as she blinked.
"I was asking if you were okay." I repeated; at least somethings about the little girl were the same.
"Yea, I'm fine… I just hope everyone else is…"
"Well, if we found you here, I'm sure someone else has found your buddies." Dark Link rolled his eyes. He had a point though, if I was able to notice a shift that subtle, Zelda and Link did as well. Though, Dark Link should have known if Link had found someone, unless he really was ignoring the updates of what the Twilight Hero did as requested, which was also very unlike Dark Link. Something was seriously up with the guy. "Everyone is probably going to be heading back to Castle Town, it's the safest spot to communicate and as much as I would love to know what your ability is, it can be done on the road. We shouldn't be in one spot if Dean has you targeted."
"Great, another asshole to deal with." Regan sighed and I grew curious of Regan's history as she was way to fine about everything from being in a different dimension to dealing with, well, assholes that target people. "Fine, I'll talk on the way, at least with a horse I can actually look for them quicker."
"Hyrule Field is large, I doubt we'll see any of them on our way there."
Regan grinned at Dark Matter, "I don't need my eyes to find them."
"What are you just going to psychically locate where they are?"
"Something like that," She answered. "It's their auras I'll be seeing first."
"Aura?" Dark Link and I asked.
Regan shook her head, "I'll explain on the way."
I was hesitate to just go without an answer, but nodded anyway. Dark Link pulled out my piccolo and played his horse's tune that was very similar to Epona's song only way more eerie in a beautiful way, like church songs. Suddenly, his black horse, Arion, appeared as it came from around the corner and he jumped on it. He looked down at Regan and glared. "Don't look at me for a ride, I'm still pissed at you for calling me a fake."
"Well when you think about it-" Regan started and I realized quickly why Dark Link was in a bloodlust mood when I interrupted his battle.
"Electra, if you don't control your friend, I will not hesitate to kill her."
"Touch her and you'll regret it." I threatened before turning to Regan. "Ride with me, I'll have to explain a bit as well."
Regan nodded and got on the horse with me. This was not going to be a fun trip.
