Castle raider

[hylianxsheikah]

[It's quiet on the road from Castletown to the palace--or what ought to be the palace, but is yet Ganondorf's citadel. Zelda moved along the dry dirt path, silent; she had picked up a thing or two from Sheik. Ordinarily he would never allow her to do this alone, but in his current condition, there's nothing he can do. She is alone in this

[She sees silver flash out of the corner of her eye; the second Stalchild's death shriek seems almost to freeze her blood. Yet she dare not take her eyes off the first, dare not go still; she swings and thrusts torch against the hissing thing, forcing it to retreat. Evidently, it decides that between her torch and whatever killed its fellow, she is not worth the effort to kill; it slips back into the shadows.]

[Only when she's certain she can't hear it any longer does she dare to glance back, bringing the torch carefully around to light the tall figure that stands there. Her eyes widen as she sees the god, blood wet on the huge blade he carries.]

H-how did you find me?

[She lowers the torch, suddenly feeling abashed.] I have no weapons.

[Nothing like what he carries, anyway, that huge blade that he lifts one-handed, like it weighs nothing. She tries to remember if she's ever seen him draw it before, much less use it. Her eyes keep going back to the blood dripping from its surface.]
