Our Ancestor's Sins

Arc 1: Demise, Sheik, and Raven

Ganondorf continued to stare at the dragon in awe as it rose into the early morning sky higher, sunlight gleaming of its white scales.

Its single horn glowed with an internal light.

Farosh kept its gaze on Ganondorf but gave a low growl in the back of its throat, shaking its head. Something fell off, landing several feet from Ganondorf.

Slowly, Ganondorf stood and made his way to the item, picking it up. It was a scale, rough and white. Rubbing it with his thumb, Ganondorf could feel the internal electricity that rested within.

Startled at the gift, Ganondorf looked back at Farosh as the dragon arced over Hylia Bridge.

"What do you have there, Gan?" Zelda asked, approaching the redhead.

He showed the scale to her and she gasped.

"You have...a dragon's scale?!"

"Yes."

"Farosh just...gave it to you?"

Ganondorf nodded as Link came to look at the scale as well.

What do we do with it? Link asked, taking the scale and flipping it over to look at the green underside. Sell it?

Zelda gave a horrified gasp as she snatched the scale from the blond. "Are you crazy?! Sell a scale gifted by a messenger of the goddesses?!"

Link gave a shrug, apparently not seeing an issue with the idea.

"We'll keep it for now," Ganondorf said. "Perhaps the meaning of the scale will become apparent later on."

Zelda gave an agreeing nod while Link rolled his eyes.

Tucking the scale into a pocket, Ganondorf picked up the chains. "The nearest stable is Riverside. It'll be a three hour ride, so let's eat light. We can get food there."

"I heard they offer food to make meals. I bet we could make something very delicious."

I hope so, Link signed as he stretched. He rubbed his back. Beds too.

"If we can find things to sell for Rupees, let's do that." Ganondorf grunted as he got into the saddle of the white horse. "We'll need it if we're going to buy anything."

Zelda nodded, getting into the saddle behind Ganondorf.

They needed a lot of things to survive their journey to Akkala.

A map, weapons, different clothes, pouches....

She sighed.

It would cost a lot.

After Link dumped their extinguished firewood in a place that wouldn't offend the Lake Zora, the three made their way to Hylia Bridge.

With no means to hunt, they could only obtain apples from a nearby apple tree. There was enough for each of them and the horses as well.

With their bellies decently filled, the three headed towards Riverside Stable at a trot, trying to cut down as much time as possible.

And within three hours, the stable came into view, wooden horse head on the structure's roof making it an easy find.

Ganondorf pulled the horse to a stop, sliding down. "I'll trade the horse. Why don't you two find a merchant?"

Zelda nodded as Ganondorf handed her the chains.

"See if they'll take these, even for free."

"All right."
