Desert of Malice and Thunder《Ganondorf x Oc》

~2~ A cold attack

Snowflakes dance around the air outside the wooden cabins, inside the warm orange glow and crackling of the fire. The nights are raw in the Gerudo, especially up in the Highlands. The weather can change in minutes and make it nearly impossible to cultivate vital plants. The common plants and fruits there ar fruits, Wildberries, Spicy peppers, and cool Safflina. Inside nearby cave, the villagers grow more vital plants, like Hylian Tomatos, Hearty Truffles, Hylian Shrooms, Swift Carrots, and Fortified Pumpkins but also some wheat and cane sugar too. The nights are even hasher up there, even badder as in the desert at night, just a few Hylian and Sheikah are out closing the cave with the big wooden barrier. The few gerudo who live there are only rarely outside as it's too cold for them. Alone, the Hylian and Sheikah are wearing parts of the snowquill set from the Ritos along with thick and warm clothes.

It's dark out, the sun set and the moon rised; an endless circle. The moonlight casted a soft glow over the quiet village, the villagers already in bed after their hard work. There aren't any guards around. Who would come in the middle of the night to this remote village? The village is so small it doesn't even have an entrance gate, just a few cabines in the middle of nowhere. No one notices how quiet the night is. Even for this environment, the animals are very active, especially at night... but not today, as if they sense that something bad is about to happen.

A girl not much older than 15, just came on age, laying outside watching the moon and the snowflakes dancing around. Small snowflakes covering her dark hair and eyelashes, small red highlights in her hair shining from the glow of the full moon. Her pointy ears and hair bangs are adorned with an archaic snowquill headdress, a thick cloak wrapped around her to keep her warm. The sight of the moon idyllic to the girl. Normally, her parents would forcefully take her back inside, especially during thunderstorms, but they are on travel right now to castle as King Rauru wanted to see them. She isn't sure why, but they're also the one who manage the whole village, and from the rumors, it would about the whole gerudo affair. She heard some warriors should come to the village and use it as a type of base for their spying missions or whatever. Isn't like she has a right to interfere in any political decision, from a small age she got told she will never be allowed to be in charge of the village as a girl, even if she already showed them more than one times how good her ideas work out. Her parents even took her beloved horse with them as they were too lazy to walk!

Her train of troughts got cut off as she heard several pairs of footsteps on the snow, even way to few for a small traveler group and at this time of the night. She carefully stood up and slipped inside the cabin so no one would talk to her in the first place as the cabin isn't the first you will cross by entering the village. She quickly put the candles out and lay down quietly in her bed.

A tall man at least of the high of 7'6" stands on a snowy rock, behind him a squad of gerudo warrior. All of them are carrying gerudo weapons, especially spears and a few torches with fire. The man holds up his massive olive green hand before him before making one swift motion with this hand to the right, signaling the squad to attack.

The warriors ran into the village, mostly just burning it down, but a few who tried to defend themselves found quickly an end from the high trained gerudo. The King is making his way through the village, the snow creaking under his weight in a slow peace, almost if the chaos around him didn't exist. People screaming, begging for their lives, their family, and home, the fire creaking as it feeds on the wooden cabins and the collapsing of them. He makes his way to the biggest house, the one of the mayor. The girl already got up again as she looked outside, noticing the whole chaos. She tried to find any weapons in the house to try to defend herself even a tiny bit, but she quickly noticed her parents also took the weapons with them on their travel. So she put on her cloak and tried to take her leave through the window of the backside of the cabin. As she heard the front door opening, she started to take a sprint out, but before she could climb out of the window, somebody threw her back by her cloak collar. She landed on the floor with a painful grunt and rolled till she hit the wall with her back. After a few seconds where she collected herself back, she slowly sat up and leaned against the corner, her back hurting and her mind a bit fuzzy. Booming footsteps comming in her way, stopping close before her. He crouched down and held her head up by her hair tightly up.

"Where is your leader, woman?" he spoke in a deep malicious voice, almost splitting out the word 'woman', which makes goosebumps appear on her skin. She doesn't speak for a while, just breathing fast from how scared she is. As longer she doesn't speak, the impatienter he gets, so he pulled a big dagger out.

"O-out! Away on travel to King Rauru!" she confessed with a gasp, her eyes dilated from fear.

"For what?" He says trought gritten teeth, clearly not pleased from the news. But either way, this land will be his!

"A-a meeting with the King!" She blurred out. She's almost shaking like a Lizalfos, which accidently ate a Thunderwing butterfly.

"About!? I swear, vai, if you don't speak whole, I will do something you will more regret than i will!" he spoke almost hatefully to her with this loud voice while he put the dagger closer on her skin, lightly cutting the skin there but not too deep to draw blood but to hurt.

"I-I don't know, they never tell me! I only heard rumors about soldiers coming to resident here for their mission! A spying mission if I heard right! Please don't hur-" she admitted in a fast and frightened voice. As more as he spoke as more angry, he got. As she started to plead for her insignificant life, he pulled the dagger away from her neck before hitting her with the end of it on the head, knocking her out, leaving the sentence unfinished.
