Re: (ZGen/Fan) Link's Shadow (t)
Chapter two: The Mask Salesman
Link ran in the red plants for cover, but the kids ran to him, hissing and screaming the word play. Link sprinted, but the kids got on all fours, and darted after him. One pounced upon him, link yelled. It covered him in glowing slime, which whisked him away to the feet of Dark Link.
"Lord, you. I told you to quit! Give up! Leave me alone, okay? I need a servant in here!" A timid man walked up," Y... y... yes s... sir?" He asked sheepishly. “Make this idiot leave, change the rock so they don't find our realm, oh and..." Link heard no more. He heard faint whispers, the wind picked up, the whole room began to spin fast and faster. He heard a bang.
He was out cold.
He awoke to find a face over him, the man had nice red hair and a good purple suit," Oh, you're awake? You obviously went to the Nightmare Realm." "What? Who are you? What's the nightmare realm? Are you okay?" Link questioned. "Oh I'm fine, I just need to know if you met the king of the evil re-" "NO! What are you, crazy!? There is no- Wait, you..." "Yes, I've been there..." He showed Link a bit mark on his neck. He handed Link a mirror, and to Link's horror, he found marks on him!
"Well, you're right... when did yo-" "I had a nightmare, awoke with the mark, ever since I wondered what happened, I tried getting the King to listen, but he said I didn't have enough proof, but two people is good enough, right?" Link slowly nodded," Sure..." "So, will you come with me to the castle?" Link slowly nodded, getting up with the man's help, they headed out over the large field.
They traveled many days, rain or shine, hot or cold, they walked. They had to get there fast; they couldn't wait to be attacked by muggers or monsters. And finally, reaching where the castle was, they found a crumbled wall, and half-burnt down village, and a destroyed castle. “NO! NO! NO!!!" the salesman shouted. "WH... what happened, and by the way, I never asked your name." Said Link," Happy Masks Salesman, travel Hyrule selling masks. But my shop! The castle! The people! NO!" Link offered to help look for survivors, and so the two looked all day long through the mess, right as they were leaving, they heard a voice," Wait!"
They turned to find a woman in a torn dress; she had blond hair covered in dirt. Her breath smelled. She wore a chipped tiara. “I... I am Princess Zelda, of former Hyrule..." “Princess! What happened!?" The mask man exclaimed loudly. "I... I don't know, a cloaked figure walked in, killed a few guards, and made a strange noise. Men ran out, but they were killed." "By what?" "I... I don't know, suddenly they just fell of they feet and were torn apart. Strange black spots zipped across the ground, and before I knew it, my father told me to run, and everything caught a-fire suddenly, the walls crumbling, and the castle blowing up. I have been hiding ever since..."
"Oh, sorry to hear..." said Link softly, it must have been his fault, not killing Dark Link when he had the chance. " Now what?" Questioned the salesman," We could help her find the killers..." Offered Link. Zelda looked bright," Really!? Are you serious ? Thank you! Well, I can come with you a little ways to Death Mountain, where we can warn the Gorons, but I can't climb a mountain, but if you have an ocarina, I can teach us a song to keep us in touch." Things were happening a little fast for Link, but he knew they had to act fast.
He nodded," Of course, lemme see here..." He dug in his pocket, but pulled out a broken Ocarina," NO! Oh... the kid crushed it..." Zelda reached around, taking out a cheap, spare ocarina, handing it to Link. And the three went off. Along the way, Zelda tried getting Link to memorize the song. By the time he had gotten it about a week later, they were starting up in Kakariko village, which was also in ruin. It was a fire, which meant they weren't too late.
“No, they got here!” exclaimed Zelda," What're we going to do?!" Link felt the Triforce glow on his hand, he felt the warmth of courage fall through his body, and “I’ll climb the mountain and warn the Gorons..." The mask man shook his head," It's too dangerous!!!" "No, I'll go..." And without another word, Link left the two, starting up the mountain.
It would take him nearly a day to reach the top
(Well, I got chapter two in I guess, well, three is coming tomorrow then. I’m feeling too tired, stayed up late)
