Father's pride

Chapter 11:

Hello, Hello! Just pretend I posted this on time, and everything will be fine. Pls?🥺

Sheik ran. The dummy was five feet away. She had to act now. She jumped to kick it, but her balance was uneven.

"Woah!" She fell to the ground. "Try again." Impa said softly. Sheik sighed but backed up slowly. "This time, try to keep running as you jump. That way, you can actually kick." She suggested.

Sheik nodded with a grunt. And ran again, jumping up just in time to kick the dummy to the hard wooden floor.

"Great job, Shiek. Let's move to wall-jumping now."

"For real Rev, admit I beat you." Link said, walking from the Rito training grounds.

"No, you did not!" The rito scoffed. "You barely got 5 targets." He pointed out. "Not true at all." Link argued.

"The last few targets were just......more difficult." He explained. Revali laughed. " *More difficult* Suuuure. You completely flunked it!" He said.

"Cap!" Yelled a soldier. "Yes?" Link turned to him. "Your sister is here and wants to see you." He said.

"Ary? She's... here?" Link asked. The soldier nodded. "She's in the entrance." He replied.

"I gotta go, Rev." Link said to the rito warrior as he dashed in the other direction.

"Took you long enough." A young female voice said. "Aryll." Link ran to embrace his sister.

"You're crushing me." She croaked. "Good." He mumbled into her hair.

"Where were you! Where's...father?" He asked. Her expression went downcast.

"He went to go fight at Akkala. And sent me here." She said sadly.

"I haven't heard from him since."

"He- he just left?" Link asked. Aryll nodded. "He said to find "the hidden citadel in the mountains. " So I searched and searched until I saw a pattrolling soldier who led me here."

She explained. "I see..." Link trailed off. "I'm just glad you're safe. Let's go get you something to eat." The hero said, leading her down the hallway.

Xavier looked at his team that Captain Link had left him. Parker, he had black hair with tanish skin and green eyes, and the second lieutenant, better at archery than swordsmanship but still pretty good. He was the most merciless when it came to teasing. And when agitated, he calmly would beat the crap out of whoever was doing it.

Leo he had brown hair with blue eyes and dark brown skin, the bravest out of the bunch (besides the Captain), he was ready to jump into sticky situations and the best at hand-to hand combat. You would do best not to mess with him on bad days.

Kenric had light blonde hair with green and pale skin, usually the one to protect the group if needed. He was always ready to go into a battle and very good with spears and knives. He was usually the quick tempered one.

And Ethan. The dirty blonde with grey eyes and light skin. The most resourceful out of the group. You could leave him on an island with nothing but pants, and he would create a ship to escape in 12 hours. The funniest of the group and quick to diffuse arguments.

They had escaped Hyrule castle with everyone else and were headed toward Akala citadel. "Ugh, this weather's killing me." Said Parker as they trudged through the thick snow. "Shhh," Ethan said, eyes narrowing.

"What is it?" Leo asked. "Shadow monsters." He said. Xavier brought his sword up just in time to block a shadow monster jumping up to bite him.

"We're under attack!" The rest of the squad drew their swords to fight the shadow creatures surrounding them. Parker drew his bow to shoot them down. "How do these things even exist!?" Kenric grunted as 3 surrounded him.

"Ganon's magic." Ethan replied. "Ganon's dead!" Leo said, slashing a monster down. "But his magic might not be!" Said Xavier as he stabbed a creature jumping behind Kenric.

"Well, that's just fricking lovely." Parker said under his breath as he took three arrows out of his quiver and killed the trio that leaped at him.

"What is that?" Ethan asked, pointing toward the thicker part of the woods.  Xavier turned to see a dark figure with red eyes staring at them.

"Who's there!?" He shouted, lifting his sword toward the figure. It barely glanced at the group before disappearing into shadows.

"After him." He yelled, running toward where it disappeared. "He's gone! And he looked like...Captain Link!" Said Leo.

"So I do..." A dark voice said from behind them. It was the same figure from before.

He drew his sword and lunged at them, aiming for Ethans heart.
