Hyrule and it's Warrior

Chapter nine: No going back

There they stood, everyone at the front entrance. Zelda looked out on Hyrule Field, she turned to everyone.

"Alright, everyone knows what groups they have been split up into?" They all nod,

"Good, please stand by the captain of that group." Everyone shuffled around until there were huge groups of men behind Impa, Link, and Zelda.

"Thank you, now is the time we leave and to search for this source! We must stop this nonsense at the root!" They all cheered, she glanced to Link who had a beaming smile on his face. He felt pride in her, she was so brave. Zelda ended her speech and then they were off.

"No going back." Zelda said under breath as they left. Link walked by her side, with Impa close. They had come across some of the monsters like before, they easily blew through them. They had come across some stronger enemies, these ones all had names. Volga and Wizro was their names. Volga had strange powers, spitting fire, strong and unpredictable attacks, he even was able to turn into a type of dragon! Wizro was like nothing they have ever seen. He harnessed dark magic and would use his magic in any way possible in order to stop them. They were slowed down by those two. Finally they had all decided to take a break, considering night fall was upon them.

"Alright everyone, good work today! We can camp and rest here but first thing in the morning we head back out." All of the knights fell to their knees to rest. Zelda smiled to see them so relieved.

"Good work out there." A familiar voice called into her ear, she spun around,

"Thank you, Link." His smile was full of charm though his face was dirty as sweat stain parts of his cheeks. Zelda was sure she didn't look to dainty either.

"Who would have known you could fight so well." Link teased her,

"Hey! I can fight better than you!" Link laughed,

"I don't doubt it." Zelda couldn't stop a smile as she wiped away some sweat.

"We should find some water to wash our faces." Zelda nodded to Link in agreement. Zelda informed Impa who then continued to keep watch for enemies and to watch the other knights. Link walked with Zelda to a small spring, it wasn't to far from where they set up camp. They both washed off their faces along with their hands.

"Link, what do you suppose is happening?" Zelda sat down close to Link,

"That's a pretty big question, Zelda." Link looked over at her as she placed her head on his shoulder,

"I know... I just wanted to hear something I guess." Link sighed gently, grabbing her hand to hopefully comfort her.

"We won't know what to do until we get to the source of this." Zelda nodded to his statement.

"It'll be over soon Zelda, we can do this." Link kissed her forehead,

"But what if it takes months? Years! Then what do we do?"

"Zelda, you're the princess, I'm sure you'll know what to do." Zelda sighed but she nodded.

"Now come on, we should head back and get some rest okay?" Link tried to get a good look of her face.

"We should." She looked at him and saw a smile on Link's face, she couldn't help but smile back.

"There's that smile!" Link kissed her nose as Zelda chuckled. He helped her up and they walked back.

The night slowly passed and Zelda could hardly sleep. She sat up and looked around. As her head went up to the sky Zelda just admired the stares. So free, always shining.

Finally the sun decided to make an entrance and everyone was early to rise.

"Alright everyone!" Zelda caught their attention once they were ready.

"It is time we head out! We will continue North, for that seems to be where these monsters are coming from. Whatever we face we can conquer!" Everyone cheered on that statement.

Zelda turned North to lead the knights. She took a deep breath before pointing her rapier forward.

This was it.
