What can I say? Some chapters are better than others. But, if it's more you want, it's more you'll get.

Chapter 6: On the Road Again

Link fell to the ground on the harbour.
“Link, are you okay?” asked Stalfian.
“Did you see that?” asked Link. “Did you see it?”
“Yes,” said Stalfian. “I saw it. The lord of the Underworld.”
“Stalfian, I have to get out of here,” said Link. “He told me that if I don’t give up, he’ll go after everyone I love, all my friends, everyone.”
“Link, every hardship I have faced, I have faced with my friends,” said Stalfian. “If you’re going, I’m going with you.”
“Stalfian, listen to me!” snapped Link. “If you come with me, you are going to die. I know this because Ganon told me!”
“Ganon’s dead,” said Stalfian. “Annihol wasted him. You were there!”
“Ganon is the lord of the Underworld,” said Link. “And he is going to take revenge by killing all of my friends, one at a time. He’s already started. He killed my friend Raven and his family.”
“Link, I’m sorry,” said Stalfian. “I didn’t know.”
“I wouldn’t expect you to,” said Link. “Okay, fine. You can come. But be careful.”
They took a boat and left Zora’s Point.
“So where to now?” asked Stalfian.
“I don’t know,” said Link. “Anywhere. Just, away from here.”
They sailed for a few hours, and eventually saw land. They disembarked, and found themselves in a large industrial harbour. There were cranes and huge machines everywhere. One particular crane caught Link’s attention. It was moving steel girders, but the rope appeared to be fraying. The girder could fall at any moment. Link looked down from it, and saw that it was directly above Stalfian.
“Stalfian, move!” said Link, looking up as the rope snapped, and the girder plummeted down.
“Link, what’s wrong?” asked Stalfian.
“Just move!” pleaded Link, but it was too late. The girder smashed into Stalfian with a sickening crack, crushing him. Link jumped onto Epona and rode away, desperate to escape.
