Royal Rebel 5 ~ Worlds Apart

Chapter 11: Kidnapped

For what felt like hours, you had been sitting in a dark cell, residing deep inside the Yiga Clan. You were chained to the wall, staring at the bars, keeping you locked in the prison. You leaned your head back against the wall, tired just from being so still for so long.

A groan from the other side of the room caught your attention, and you glanced over to see Urbosa waking from her slumber. She opened her eyes, which quickly met with yours, and she tried to move but was restrained by the chains keeping her in one place.

"They haven't taken you to Astor," She whispered, and you tiredly shook your head. "I'm surprised. Perhaps they've figured us out." She sighed as she slumped against the wall, letting her hair act almost as a pillow instead of the cold, hard sandstone behind her.

"I'm just worried about Amirah. I haven't been able to feel her for a while." Urbosa noticed you squeezing your wrist, and she wished she could console you or hug you. But she was stuck where she was, with her mind too full of her worries for everyone now that your plan had gone forward.

"If I know anything about Amirah, it's that she's alright." A smile came to Urbosa's lips, one that told she wanted to be brave. She wanted to be confident that everything was going to go the way it was supposed to. And she almost was. But she still worried. She couldn't help it.

You stared out into the empty hall, wondering where your sister could have been. You didn't know how long you had been out, and you couldn't figure out how long you've been awake. She could have already been at the clan for all you knew.

You occasionally glanced to Urbosa, noticing how the exhaustion settled on her face. Not just from being awake all this time, worrying about the safety of her family and friends. She was tired of dealing with the Yiga Clan. She wanted it to be over already. Her whole life, she had spent chasing them away and going to war against them. But they only got stronger.

"Urbosa," You said quietly, and only her eyes moved to look at you. "I know this is hard for you. And I admire your courage for continuing to go against them after all the pain they've caused you." She smiled weakly at your words. "Even back home, I've always looked up to you for strength. You always know how to handle things."

"I always strived to have strength when others couldn't. My mother was an inspiration to our people, so when it came my time to take her place, I wanted to continue her legacy and be the chief my town needed."

"You did more than that. Now, you're not only the chief your town needs, your the champion Hyrule needs." You offered her a smile of your own, and hers softened as she seemed more at ease now. Even when her smile fell as footsteps began echoing through the hall, she remained confident.

"Are you the former queen?" A Yiga Captain asked once he reached the outside of your cell, and you gave him a firm nod. He began unlocking the chains holding the gate down, and you and Urbosa nodded to each other, ready for the next step of your plan. "We're taking you to Astor. Don't make this a difficult trip."

"It won't be difficult," You promised as two foot soldiers came in and freed you from your restraints, and they lifted you up from the floor. The captain signaled for them you walked you out, but just as he closed the cell door, you smiled and looked to the captain. "For me."

You yanked your arms away from your captors, and you raised your hand up, feeling your sister's power return to you. Golden light flashed through the room, blinding the three yiga men that came to collect you. Urbosa had already covered her eyes, and she grinned when she saw the two footsoldiers fall to their hands and knees.

The captain drew his blade and attempted to swing at you, but he messed since he had been mostly blinded. You watched as he tripped and fell beside your feet, unable to push himself up.
