The Legend Retold (darkmoogle)

[thedarkmoogle]

"Hylians have no place in the Lost Woods!" He snarled. "The last Hylian who came through here killed everyone!" He swiped a hand in front of him. He leapt towards the entrance to the Kokiri village. "If you want to get through, you'll have to get through me!" He said. Curiously enough, tears were running down his face. He assumed a fighting stance.

She could see the sadness in the beasts eyes as she stepped forward putting her weapons away and looked around the bodies littering the area. "This is horrid, I can tell who ever did this wasn't just defending themselves, it was pure bloodlust...what a fiend...I am sorry for your lose young one." She stepped towards him again, openning her arms slightly to him.

[thedarkmoogle]

"SHUT UP!" He shouted, leaping and kicking her in the chest. "Why? Why drop your weapons? Why not fight me? It's what you came to do, right?" He eyed her suspiciously. "I get it. You came to finish what your friend back there didn't! What, was slaughtering my entire family not good enough for you?"

[rexamillion]

She let out an umph as she took a couple steps back from the strong kick. She merely look saddened at the wolf as she merely began to continue stepping forward, trying to embrace him. "Do I look like I would be with this monster? I might have to be forced to defend myself against some of these, however I would never go this far...it is.....too much." She looked down a bit. "If you don't want to see the Kokiri end up like this you'll let me pass!  That man MUST be stopped!"

[thedarkmoogle]

His lips trembled, and his eyes widened. "Why? Why don't you fight back?" He ran up to her and punched her in the gut. "Fight me!" He punched her again. "Defend yourself!" Again. "Why!" Again. "Won't!" Again. "You!" Again. "Fight!" Again. "BACK?" He punched her once more, dropped to his knees and sobbed. "Why...why..." He was clearly in some emotional distress.

[rexamillion]

Linkara coughed heavily from the strong punches, they really did hurt for such a smaller version of the species, making her quite wary of wanitng to fight an adult as she slowly got back to her feet holding her hurting gut as she slowly moved up to the wolf as he dropped down sopping and moved her arms gently around the young wolf. "Hey now, shhh it's going to be okay, at least YOU are still alive."

[thedarkmoogle]

The Wolfos began crying once more, leaning his head over he shoulder. It was nice to have another embrace him...but why? "W-Why? W-why are you holding me? Hylians hate us...you're all evil." He said, his tears landing on the shoulder of Linkara's tunic. "Why? Why, why why?" He said, lowering his voice. "Why did they have to go..."

[rexamillion]

"Shhh you need to rest, look things are not safe here and your in no condition to protect yourself properly, and trust me Hylians think the exact same as you seeing as how often you all attack on sight, but maybe you can help me. If you want to that is?"  Thinking perhaps he would make a good friend and guard for Nabooru. "What is your name." She leaned back slightly tilting his head up gently to look into her eyes.

[thedarkmoogle]

He pulled away and looked into her eyes. "We don't attack on sight! We attack when we're in danger!" He shouted, obviously offended. "Besides, why would I want to help you?" He scoffed. "My name is Hadre(Ha-Der)."

[rexamillion]

"I didn't say you had to, I was asking...but please at least allow me past I must stop this man from ruining the Kokiri forest...imagine what could be happening to them if he could do this? Please?" She looked into his eyes pleadingly, even though she couldn't probably kill him to get past she didn't want to stoop to that fiends level of barbarism.

[thedarkmoogle]

Hadre looked away. "Fine. You can go. What good it'll do." He said, pushing her away. "Anyways, those damn Kokiri. Ever since that weird guy came through here, they've been angry as ever. Won't even trade with us anymore." Link buzzed forward.

"Wait, is this the same person that did all of this?" Link asked, confused. Hadre shook his head.

"No. This guy was different. Big guy, black hood. Had a book with him. Didn't look too strong, and we didn't sense a malevolent aura, so we left him alone." Link thought for a moment.

"So, wait, who was this new guy?" He said. Hadre looked pained.

"I could never forget his face. Cold, merciless, bloodthirsty. Big axe. Said he was looking for a man in a hood. He took the first swing." He said, the tears flowing again. "And now, because of him...I'm the last remaining Wolfos..." He shrunk down. The Wolfos had reverted into the woods, finding no company or kin in other lands. So they became a dying breed. "I wish they would all just die!"

[rexamillion]

"Hadre...I want you to come with me...if you truely have no one else then please, help me, because what Im getting into I'm going to need all the help I can get." She asked stepping forward and placing a soft kiss on the end of his snought. "I know you don't like Hylians, but...can you just do me one favor...there is a girl upon a horse outside these woods, very young...I cant keep watch over her all the time, but I cannot just leave her either..she is just as alone as you are...please...join her outside the forest and help protect them until I return?"  She was starting to be quite the mother figure she thought...it was an odd feeling.

[thedarkmoogle]

Linkara's words struck a note with the Wolfos. She reminded him of his own mother, who was actually the body Linkara knelt down to. He looked into her eyes softly, with the same glare as before, but his eyes were filled with something different. He nodded. "Fine. But make me a promise. If you go in there and come back out without some proof that that man is dead, I'll kill her." He said, walking away. He meant every word. He approached Nabooru, who eyed him happily. He snarled. "I'm not here to play with you, and I'm not your friend. I'm here to watch over you." He said, leaning against Apone. "I don't like you, but I'll do it." He wondered if Linkara would be able to.

[rexamillion]

She then grit her teeth as she yelled out fiercly to the young Wolfos. "AND IF I COME BACK AND SHE IS NOT IN ONE PIECE I"LL DO FAR WORSE TO YOU!" She was not in the mood to losing people she was just getting to know. "But...I promise to do what I can. Just take care of her." She sighed and turned. "Why do I feel like I just killed that girl now? What if I can't kill this monster, I mean, these are all Wolfos, powerful ones....this....Axman ...he is dangerous." She says as she follows the forest trail now.

[thedarkmoogle]

Link would have smiled if he had a mouth. "Aww, Linkara, it's okay. I could sense his aura. He wouldn't kill anything that wouldn't hurt him first. He means what he said, but he won't hurt her." He nodded. "Yeah, we can do this."
