Chapter 28: Trail in the shadows: Part 3 They traveled by darkness. The shadows of night blessed their stealth. Traversing to the desert regions of Hyrule was easy enough, it was the closeness to where they needed to go that everyone was on high alert. There, in the little distance in the sand stood a fortress of evil-minded assassins that worshipped the literal incarnation of demonic destruction. Armed to the teeth with not only the actual members of said alliance but now with actual Gerudo’s for support. “Well, thisss issss unexpected,” Purusia hissed in her current white and black snake form. “I did not exxpect them to join forcess sssso soon.” “Nor did I,” commented Impa. “Clearly this has been going on for longer than originally thought if the Yiga and the evil Gerudo forces have already joined.” “Does anyone else think we need to start coming up with a new name for them?” Zelda asked. “Evil Gerudo just sounds

Chapter 27: Trail in the Shadows: Part 2 “HE LEFT US?!?!?!” Zelda yelled at the top of her lungs as she entered the room that was Link’s. “HOW COULD HE UP AND LEAVE US?!” “I’m sure he had his reasons,” Purusia said as she covered her ears from the Hylian’s screaming. “Purusia’s right,” said Impa. “According to this note I found on his pillow, he said he went in search of his own path to save Hyrule. Perhaps he believes that he’ll put us in danger if he doesn’t know how to start to save the kingdom.” “And as stupid as I think that is, he may have had a point,” Purusia commented. “I mean, do any of us have a plan to start your kingdom’s safe return?” “We had a plan! Find a way to the Demon Realm, reclaim Fi/the Master Sword, save the kingdom!” Zelda yelled in a high pitch tone. “And while my hearing actually tries to repair itself, might I point out that those are steps, not a plan,” Purusia shouted. “She’s

Chapter 26: Trail in the Shadows Part 1 One last look at the castle from afar, from which he knew for what seemed an eternity, the young prince Nalall sighed as he marched forth. It had been much too long since he was last there at his family home. And now, on foot, he walked down the road towards the blazing Death Mountain. There he hoped that the faithful Gorons would heed his call to save the kingdom. Waiting. His entire life. Waiting for a moment to leave home on some grand adventure. “It was all my fault,” he told himself. “I asked for this. One prayer above all else and it went south in an instant.” Cloak pulled over his head, he struggled to stay upright after going through so many days in the harsh sun, barely a scrap of food, or a drop of water. Every so often, he found his steps waver off the path he set on and almost fell once or twice. The armor suffocated and slowed him. This he knew. He knew he should’ve dumped

Chapter 25: The Storm Rolls Waterside assassins were harsh teachers. Link found that out first hand after landing on his backside the first twenty times. His teacher pushed him harder than Link ever pushed himself. Two days into training with the elderly teacher and Link almost felt like this was more hellish than the fact that Fawzaana is currently laying siege to Hyrule at this very moment. He couldn’t make up his mind on what was worse. Purgatory was about to sound like a decent place after all this. And given that the group was still trying to find a way there, Link couldn’t help but smirk. ‘Can’t be worse than this,’ he thought to himself. “On your feet, boy!” his mentor yelled. For an old man, he scared Link half to death. The assassin assigned to Link was a big man, unlike any Hylian Link had ever seen. He was almost as big as the ancient stories of Ganondorf made him out to be. The old man had a long white beard

Chapter 24: Training In the following hours leading into the fall of night, the not-so-merry band of heroes stayed themselves inside one of the Waterside motels. Each having individual rooms, the members of this depressed, confused, and frustrated band of warriors and royals took their own times to review the newfound struggle that they face. Most were struck with fear and confusion and wracked their minds to the point of broken sanity. Zelda walked from wall to wall, attempting to find a plan within reason to gain access to the demon realm. Her hair now in disarray at the continuing thinking she had put her effort towards. Blonde locks entangled into many knots as her brain became consumed and lost into her work. Impa had her mind focused into meditation in order to calm herself and gain insight from many generations of knowledge. To an unfortunate result, she herself fell victim to the stress of trying to
