Breath of the Wild fanfic: Hylia's Fate Hyrule's Blood - The Beginning

XVI: Shed our Blood for the Land

Their strands of azure formed on as a platform as figures, on the raised plinth at the start of the bridge, to the gargantuan metal double doors dyed with obsidian of the castle's entrance. This was the new teleportation gate that Sheikah researchers and manufacturers manually made. The flags of carmine, cerulean and aureate lined encrusted with the Triforce and Hylian's crest, flapped lightly in the slow breeze. Above on the tower's parapet that lined the entrance gate, the Hylian knights with an overlaid extravagant cuirass and greaves of gilded gold and periwinkle to imply they are the highest tier of knights and wielded Royal bows signalled to open the entrance. These were Imperial Knights. The monarch strode through the pathway while her appointed imperial knight followed suit. He asked Zelda, "We'll need to notify the major refuges, so if we ask your personal writer to send them a letter, I say now is the best time," The Queen staggered with her words, "Y-yes. I'll ask one of my servants, and I hope you notify the General and Major Generals for each of the separate ranks for a conference. Lead them, tell them and also remember to tell them to defend. We need to take action now," They went their separate ways as other upper-class knights escort came to Zelda's aid, brandishing most of the royal division of weapons. Link's reason to even command the Queen for the defence was due to him being the Supreme Commander. However, while the advanced without thought, his mind started thinking and pondering. Ever since he was in this 2-day trance he uncovered how much he had failed a century ago. His feelings surrounding him were like a cloud of wistfulness, the broken pieces, a mom who he lost out of helplessness, a father lost in warfare and a sister by hat was reported was a monster, the only one who was left, deserted his life.

A division of army members passed behind him swarming him around. Many of them were in an attire similar to Royal Guards, though this was a separate part of the most elite fighters, these warriors were one with sorcery. They called it the Guild. Though the Guild had been on a quest being to slay a behemoth of a mutated beast that had threatened one of the new towns Hyrule built, Lhanbryde between what was the ruins of a ranch and the Hyrule Garrison. He knew that in a few minutes they will be arriving with her soldiery. He trailed off to the courtyard where the magic-wielding soldiers would split to the Royal guard chambers and he could meet up with the high ranking Royal Guard. He walked upon the dirt training field of the Army that stretched extensively slower than the Guild. Some of Hyrule Castle's spires' shadows, overlapped the courtyard. The rhythmic steps of Guild members were coming through the nearby corridor in the palace and the troop arrived. They split and passed by Link again, a few greeting him or gazing with sorrow or bewilderment at his major wounds advancing to the Royal Guard Chambers to rest. Then while all the rest had reached their destination one figure remained. They walked with a slow canter with elegant and soft steps while wielding a giant object resting on their shoulder, and in chuckling voice said, "Wow, you really got fucked eh? We got the news by a Yiga ambush when we were arriving from Lhanbryde, seem like anybody's fault?" He chuckled back at a young lady with copper-coloured eyes, cascading scarlet hair, silver diamond-shaped earrings. She wore an attire composed of a plain sepia tunic with long sleeves under a cuirass ornamented with a vermillion-coloured cross lined with amber, that exposed a bit of the tunic on the lower torso. Her 'skirt' was made of a fuald under the buckle and under the back of the belt like a short petticoat, and the lower part of the tunic completed the skirt. She had two spaulders, a pair of slate-blue coloured vambraces, a coffee leather belt, onyx boots and greaves (which as all armour plates were silver) all on a slender, voluptuous body. "Erza Ruby I'm sorry about that ambush, we have things to tell you now. I want to say to you to tell the Major General of the Guild and notify the whole army for one of the conferences, as your Position of the General, it's an emergency. And where are you going to place that thing?" Link referenced the object she was holding Erza looked at him before dropping the object and shouted, "Well I think with the help of my comrades we slew a monster. Something that hasn't been done by someone in a long time." Link felt a little punished by the sting of her sly words. "Well, you don't want to talk about, sparring now?" Link stared with a concerned but annoyed face, "I don't think I'll be doing that. I'm still getting used to one eye vision. Please understand." Then Erza looked at him with a twitching eye. "Um...perhaps in a few months," Link said reluctantly, Erza finishing for him, "Yeah, what's wrong. Too sad I'll beat you'll?" Link continued trying to finish the conversation, "What about the conference?" Erza's hand shot up to her magical falchion's ornamented and gilded hilt from a gilt ring like a portal from a night sky, which was a part of her arsenal, her glower threatening him. "Please Erza, Enough. Announce it to the other divisions' Major General." Erza let out her breath in a disapproving manner, "Fine!"

Though Erza may be yelling and being mean at many, it was not like she hated everyone, but her attitude was commanding and strict. It was mostly because she often criticised warriors bad behaviour, and was impatient if they do not answer quickly enough. Yet even inside her is a warm passion, full of brightness and kindness.

In her navy royal outfit, Zelda looked at her writer, her baby blues looking at the three letters on the table of the, her blonde hair waving in a light breeze. "Thank you Maphira, it helps out. We want to be prepared the best," and the personal writer as said by Zelda nodded, "It's okay. I can help out anytime, just ask." On the written letters had a message to warn for what is coming, and the preparation for it:

Dear _____,

The worst is to come. If Calamity Ganon wasn't enough for the destruction of our kingdom and inciting a load of fear, the worshippers of him have received a leader. One who is dedicated to a reign over Hyrule, one that is torturous with bloodshed, sucking civilians' life force for their own gain. Each of your settlements will be hit, Zora's Domain first, Goron City second and Rito Village last. I don't mention Gerudo Town because it was hit first. The commanders there told us 42 of the civilians out of the 176 were missing, and the Gerudo's local battalion of 43 ladies at Karra Karra Bazaar was wiped out, and no survivor was found. This shows how serious the Yiga have stepped their game, their leader indoctrinating them to visualise our denizens as a tenuous insect under our foot. They are practising arts requiring our lives. They will be merciless, taking our lives. All for magic. They will try to achieve all the mystic elements your species are linked to Zora-Water, Goron-Fire, Rito-Wind. Torment is not what I want for our land of Hyrule. For your refuges, I'll dispatch large troops, full of every rank with an unmatchable prowess. Please also keep your own guard, who knows when they could attack. Please be safe.

From Queen Zelda

Maphira stamped the Royal family's cardinal seal on each letter. Signed individually in eloquent handwriting: 'Chief Bludo', 'King Dorephan', 'Elder Kaneli' after Dear in the letter. "I'll call the messenger bird," Zelda nodded. She whistled in a swift tune before a condor swooped into one of the castle's side rooms, its ruby plumage printed with an insignia of the gilt Triforce. "Jewel, go to Rito Village, Zora's Domain, and Akkala to Eldin's messaging." Zelda bid goodbye and the condor flew out of the window of Maphia's suite.

The Castle town gate was overlooking the whole army of Hyrule, a massive force consisting of rows of colours of slate and ivory, silver, butterscotch and periwinkle, navy blue and scarlet, and the same shades with logos of the elemental magic embossed upon it. Leading the rows of the militia were the 4 Major Generals. Link stood upon the platform of the wearing an imperial azure overcoat over his armour of the Champion's Tunic, with Hylian armour and trousers. He had taken of the cast he had. His singular eye graced the army. He commenced his speech, by a gesture of pulling the Master sword out of its scabbard and thrusting it within the stone. Behind him, the Queen and Royal Guards accompanied him on the tower. "Listen, Soldiers! Today I am ready to shed my blood on this holy blade! This sacred land we stand upon is threatened again." When he said the last word his tone was bitter. "Those who were exiled more than 10 millennia ago, are now treated harmoniously, the Sheikah. However, some still feel the faded neglect, you knowing these people as the Yiga. Those whose ancestors were in the army during pre-Calamity would know the Master Sooga. He trying to achieve sorcery will attack the capitals, Gerudo Town being finished already. Even Castle town will be attacked. And before we can get up they will smash us with war. I admit..." a chill of shame rose, raising his hair the memory circling of his past, "I have fear. Death will arrive. But we will be ready, ready to shed our blood for our land." With a deep breath, he continued, "I will dispatch troop of each division to the locations. Battle analysts will arrive for Zora's Domain, Goron City and Rito village. I myself will prepare the battle in Castle Town and aide Rito Village. The Guild blacksmiths will give you elemental chainmail for Death Mountain. If they aren't dead by the last attack we have to be ready. But please be safe. I wanted to keep this concise for the speech, for the preparations are massive. You may return to your barracks." Link looked sombrely at the sapphire sky the jewel of the sun shining, bright, him hoping for a bright future.
