A Link in Time

Thirteen: Hyrule Castle

~Skylor's POV~

After what had felt like years, in reality it was about three months, we had finally figured out that Heather was being held captive in the dungeon at Hyrule castle. Thankfully, in this world, nothing was in ruins and the world looked fairly well. Thank you everyone who doesn't live in a ruined world! You have made this world beautiful again! Except you Wind. You made everything out of the small map be an ocean.

       Once coming up with a plan to get into the castle, Wild would be the distraction with Four Swords, Wind, and I, while the others would look around for Heather. Although I couldn't fight, I would bc a big distraction apparently because none of the enemies would assume I would just walk over and slap them with my shoe. And yeah, I gotta admit, just some random girl walking up in there, taking her shoe off and then slapping you, would cause a distraction.

       "Let's go get Heather!" I stated, bouncing up and down, ready to kick some ass. Dark smiled at me and shook my head. He loved my enthusiasm but also thought it was adorable, mainly because I just wanted to kick some enemy ass like them.

        The walk to the castle took like... five hours and I want to actually kill myself. So does Allison. Like, how in the hell do they do this? Seriously! None of them are out of breathe yet! Jesus! As we approached the castle, it looked huge. I have no idea how they're going to get in there and then look around, considering Wild was the only one who really climbed anything other than vines and ladders, or used the hookshot. Though, I guess most of them do have one, and there are a good amount of vines on the castle walls... eh, they'll be fine.

       Walking into the castle, we were met with only a couple of bokoblins and a few of the smaller Yiga clan members. Huh... you would think it being Ganon n' all that he would beef up the security here. Eh. Whatever. Easier for us. I watched as they managed to easy defeat them and we continued, wandering around, killing the enemies we saw and looking for Ganon. We had a good idea that he would be in the throne room, so we started making our way that way.

      As we walked in, we took notice of Ganon looking out one of the large windows behind the throne and the few Yiga clan members in the room. Oh boy. This is where things get dicey. More clan members were sure to show up and if needed, I would steal their bows and take their arrows. Because I'm actually a decent shooter. And by decent, I mean I can most likely hit two out of five arrows on a moving target. Yeah, they shouldn't rely on me. At all.

        "Where's Heather, Ganon?" Wild questioned, his eyes darting to the enemies on either side of the room, before landing on Ganon. He merely chuckled as he turned around to face him. He had a sly smirk on his face as he faced us. One that I didn't like.

~Heather's POV~

       "Let me out," I stated tiredly, putting my forehead to the wall of the cell. "Uggghhh...." I sighed and slid down the wall. I was moved to one of the solitary cells as I was apparently annoying the bokoblins who were watching me... and because I wouldn't stop hitting them when I was able to grab their spears. Yeah, I was that person in the cell. Worth it though.

        "Hey, when's lunch coming? I'm hungry!" I whined, only getting a snort and some grumbles from one of the bokoblins before hearing it squeal as it died. That's when the door opened and Twilight appeared. "Twilight! Please tell me you have some food, I am starving!" He looked at me for a second before giving me an apple and motioning for someone to come over. I noticed that Sky came over and helped me up.

       We walked through the halls, trying to find Allison, Dark, Majora, and Time. We eventually found them, Time and Allison were together as Dark and Majora were together. We made our way through the twisting halls of the castle, finding our way out of it eventually. As we did so, Allison was asking me questions about what Ganon had done to me and making sure I was one hundred percent okay. I really didn't want to tell her what he had done to me, mainly because I knew she'd want to kill Ganon herself and get over protective of me. And I don't like it when people are protective of me, so I just told her that I was fine and nothing was done to me. Though, I could see from Time's glance, he didn't believe me.

       After a while of walking, Sky eventually just gave up on me walking and climbing up and over some of the hills and picked me up. What could I say? I wasn't able to move around much in the cells and I wasn't really fed much. Well, if you count some apples, nuts, mushrooms, hydromelons, and the occasional piece of fish or meat much.

       Getting back to the house, I made a B line towards Wild's room to take a shower and get some new clothes. God it's been forever since I've taken a shower and desperately need one. Getting out I noticed the large amount of scars on my back. Damn, he really did a number on me... Mother fucker. Changing, I made my way back to the living room, seeing that Twilight was making something to eat with Sky. FOOD! I then realized Time, Dark, Majora, and Allison were no where to be seen. I guess they went to go do something or go help the others at the castle. Yeah, I was told there plan and it wasn't half bad. Though, I am a little worried about Skylor... eh, she has Wild, Wind, and Four Swords. She'll be fine.

        "I'm going to assume that Dark, Majora, and Time went to go help the others and Allison is somewhere?" I questioned, sitting at the bar behind Twilight and Sky.

         "Yeah, Allison went into town with Majora while Dark and Time went to go help the others," Twilight explained, setting down a plate of food in front of me. I smiled as I started shoving the meat into my mouth. "Majora was told to keep Allison out as long as possible because Time wants you to tell us what happened while you were there. Since we all saw how you don't want to her how bad it really was there." I sighed and looked up at them. Both gave me a sympathetic glance.
