The four heroes arrived at the village they went to the near spring and let their horses drink some water, they group gaze at the sight of the village. To Link the village hasn't change so much since the last time he was here he notice that Malo mart has been remodel the building was big like the Malo mart in castle town looks like Malo was getting more famous by the minute. Zelda along with Ilia couldn't help but smile even after what has happened with the Elysian kingdom Kakariko village was still peaceful thanks to Links effort save Hyrule. Udile gaze at the village he smile seeing the tranquility of the village he suddenly felt guilty knowing that this village could be attack by his own kingdom and the blood of the people killed in the village will be in his hands. The group arrived at the large building which was the Sanctuary of the village.
“It's been a while since I was here I wonder how Reinaldo and the others are doing?” Link said
“Yeah me too” Ilia said
“Link before we enter I think it will be best if we don't tell them about Udiel's true identity?” Zelda said
“Is that okay with you Udiel?” Link said
“Yes I don't want to cause any hostility or trouble in this village” Udiel said in a guilty tone
Zelda notice his tone but decided to ignore it for now, Link nodded and he open the door of the sanctuary when they enter they saw the Shaman of the village Reinaldo along his daughter Luda.
“Hey Reinaldo?” Link said with a smile
Reinaldo and Luda smile
“Link Ilia it's good to see you two again” Reinaldo said
“Yes were glad to see you again” Luda said with a polite bow
“Oh and the princess is here too what a great honor is to have you here princess” Reinaldo said
“Thank you Reinalo but right now I don't have that title I'm just a warrior fighting for the peace and freedom of Hyrule you have heard of what has happened?”
Reinaldo nodded” yes travelers have come here saying that Hyrule castle was attacked by another kingdom I have heard of the Elysian kingdom before when I was a kid”
“Do you know something about the Elysian Kingdom any information you tell us will be good?” Link said
“I only heard of the war that happened a hundred years ago but that's all I apologize for not knowing anything more”
“Its al right Reinaldo we thank you for telling us this piece of information” Zelda said
“And who might you be?” Luda said noticing Udiel
Udiel blush from embarrassment” I….I…..I am……”
“This is Udiel he's a warrior traveling with us” Zelda said
“Yes I am traveling with them I want to help them as much as I can” Udiel said
“So you four are on a quest to stop the Elysian kingdom?” Reinaldo said
“I want to negotiate with Elysian if we can come to an agreement preventing war is my biggest priority” Zelda said
“And if doesn't will have to prepare ourselves for the worst” Link said
“I see then you have come to the right place to prepare for your quest in fact Barnes wanted to see you he forgot to give you a letter about his new invention” Reinaldo said
“A new invention I guess I can check it out” Link said
“I'll go too with you Link” Ilia said
“We'll all go” Zelda said
“We'll see you later Reinaldo” Link said while Reinaldo and Luda nodded
The group left the Sanctuary they started walking towards Barnes bomb shop
“Hey Udiel why don't you tell us more about the Elysian kingdom?” Ilia said
Udiel stop walking and tighten his fist in anger he didn't show it but Zelda notice it in his eyes.
“I'm sorry Ilia I don't want to talk about it” he left towards the spring
Ilia looked a little guilty” was it something I said?”
“You must understand Udiel Ilia as the prince of Elysian he blames himself for every action that the kingdoms takes that's why he feels upset and guilty he believes that the life of every man, woman and child that the kingdom takes it's his fault” Zelda said
“But its not his fault is the one who took over the king?” Ilia said
“That maybe but he can't stop feeling guilty for everything that's happening Ilia” Link said while putting his hand on her shoulder” I think he needs some time for himself?”
“Or maybe he needs someone to talk to” Zelda said” Link Ilia you two go on ahead to Barnes shop I will be with Udiel” she left towards the spring
Link saw Zelda walk towards the spring he then looked at Ilia who was smirking
“Why are you smirking Ilia?”
“Oh it's nothing Link come on let's go to the shop”
“Why do I feel like you are hiding something from me?”
“I'll tell you later”
Link rolled his eyes as he and Ilia headed to Barnes shop, back on the spring of the village Udiel was looking at the clean water of the spring Zelda went next to him.
“Udiel I know what its like to feel responsible for the sake of your kingdom before Elysian attacked my kingdom was invaded by a great evil I have to surrender in order to save my kingdom and I couldn't help but feel guilty and upset that I couldn't anything to help protect it I have to rely on the chosen hero after that I promised myself I will defend my kingdom with my own strength even if I have to give up my own life to do so”
Udiel smile” you are wise and strong Zelda that's why you have strong will”
“It's my love for Hyrule that keeps me strong just like my father and mother they both loved Hyrula very much and even in the afterlife they watch over it”
“I loved my kingdom too but with the path that has chosen I don't know if I still love it”
“Its okay to feel that way but you can't lose faith didn't your parents taught you to have faith in your kingdom?”
`They did that's why I want to fight for it I will stop this corruption and reclaim my throne once I become king”
“You don't have to tell me about your past if you don't want to take your time”
Udiel smile” thank you Zelda you know every time I talk to you it eases my soul”
“Likewise I always feel comfortable talking to you”
The two stood there watching the beautiful spring and they both felt happy, Zelda was feeling happier she didn't know what was this feelings that she was feeling but she decided to ignore it for now.
At Barnes bomb shop Link and Ilia were looking the merchandise of bombs that Barnes has for sale.
“Wow Barnes have been very busy since I last visited” Link said in awe while looking at the collection of bombs
“Yeah he has enough bombs to blow up the whole village” Ilia said
“And speaking of Barnes where is he?” Link said
BOOM
Link and Ilia gasp when they heard the loud explosion that's when they saw a burn Barnes walking to the counter while coughing.
“You okay Barnes”
“Yeah I was just making a little experiment and it looks like it back fire on me”
“What kind of experiment?” Ilia said
Barnes grin” that's a secret maybe I'll tell you later, so what brings you here?”
Link blink” what brings me here Reinaldo told me you have a new invention for me”
“Oh yeah right I can't believe I forgot about it well I haven't seen you in months you know here it is” Barnes said while showing Link a bomb
Link sweat dropped” this is it Barnes this is a normal bomb”
“Sure it may look like a normal bomb but its not you see this bomb special its my greatest creation yet behold this is the homing bomb once you aim it at something it will automatically homing in at the target and destroy it”
“Wow this bomb really is something you outdone yourself this time Barnes” Link said
“I know now I will give you permission to use this bombs for your quest now I will give you ten homing bombs for just three hundred rupees what do you say?”
“WHAT Barnes that's robbery I know those bombs are specials but come on can you give me a discount I am the chosen hero of the gods”
Ilia sweat dropped (so much for not flattering himself with his title)
“A discount but I haven't started selling them I was reserving them just for you, tell you what how about fifteen bombs for three hundred rupees that's a great offer what do you say?”
“Deal” said a happy Link as he took his bomb bag and Barnes placed the homing bombs in the bag
“Link remember that you can use your homing bomb as homing arrow bombs making them more useful” Barnes said
“Yeah I know that” Link said as he took his giant wallet and gave the three hundred rupees to Barnes
“Please come back some who knows I may have invited something new when you return”
“Yeah we will let's go Ilia”
Ilia nodded and left the shop
“So what are we going to do now?” Ilia said
“We are going to Malo mart to buy you a bow”
“What but Link I am not an archer”
“I know but you have to learn we need to be prepare when we engage the enemy”
“Okay I understand so how am I going to learn?”
“What do you think I am going to teach you with me you will learn in no time”
The two went to Malo mart and Link bought a bow along with a quiver that holds thirty arrows after paying they left the shop and they spotted Zelda and Udiel heading their way.
“Hey Udiel are you feeling better now?” Ilia said
“Yes I am thank you for your concern Ilia”
“Well Ilia let's go to the graveyard that's where well start your archery lessons”
“You are going to teach Ilia archery you won't mind if I help too?” Zelda said
“No of course not the more help the merrier you can come too Udiel”
“I guess I'll go but I am not an archer”
“Its okay Zelda can teach you” Ilia said with a smirk
“Oh really Zelda you don't mind right?” Udiel said with a smile
For some reason Zelda felt her cheeks heating up which Ilia notice and smirk
Link grin” come one Zelda we have some people to teach some archery”
Zelda smile as the group to the graveyard
Hyrule Field
King Bumblin was accompany by a large army of bumblin warriors he was staring at the far distance into the entrance to Kakariko village.
“Split up take the village and the Gorons” King Bumblin said
The bumblins gave a battle cry as they ran on the field with their swords and shields, King Bumblin chuckle while looking at his army.
(They won't know what hit them)
Back at the village graveyard the group were practicing their archery skills Link was teaching Ilia while Zelda was teaching Udiel, they were using the two trees as target practices. Ilia was getting the hang of it while Udiel was having no luck at all he was bad at learning however Zelda didn't mind she continue to teach him with no problem at all. After an hour of archery lessons the group decided to made a camp fire in the graveyard and take a break.
“Ilia you have learn to use a bow you only need some practicing and you'll be a pro like me” Link said with a smile
“Oh I don't know I might become better than you Mr. chosen hero of the gods” Ilia said with a smirk
“You will have to practice harder if you want to become better than me” Liink said with a smirk
Zelda laugh a little at the way the couple were flirting with one another she gaze at Udiel who sighed in defeat.
“I guess I am not good in archery I'm only good with my twin swords” Udiel said
“You will get better if you keep practicing” Zelda said
“I will continue trying but anyway thank you for teaching me Zelda” Udiel said with a smile
“I'm glad I was able to help”
“Well I guess we should talk to Reinaldo if we can spend the night in the village and tomorrow leave for Elysian” Link said
“That would be a wise choice Link” Zelda said
Udiel stood quiet before looking at the group” everyone I want to tell you guys about Elysian I want to tell you why the kingdom change”
This caught the attention of the three
“Are you sure you want to tell us Udiel?” Ilia said
“Yes Zelda you told me I should take my time and I have decided if I am going to be traveling with you people you have the right to know the truth” Udiel said
Zelda nodded along with Link
“Elysian was a great kingdom at one time it was peaceful and true it was rule with compassion and justice my father the king was the bravest and kindest man ever known he was kind and gentle with his friends and family and he was cruel and just to his enemies the people of the kingdom loved him and they couldn't ask for a better ruler I was very proud of him, but among that great kingdom there's always a swine hidden waiting to strike you see my father's advisor a sorcerer named Adgamin was a man who hide his intentions I never trusted him but my father was too naïve to see his evil then one day it turn into a horrible day for Elysian Adgamin turn against the kingdom and he took over the throne my father he killed him Adgamin's power was too much for him to handle since that day the Elysian kingdom was transform from a compassionate kingdom to a bloodthirsty and power hungry kingdom I feel like everything is fault and there's nothing I can't do” he stood quiet not saying another word
Link stood quiet he felt sorry for Udiel losing his father to a madman who knows rule the kingdom that belongs to him, Ilia was just like her boyfriend she wanted to help Udiel in anyway she could. Zelda was quiet too she felt sorry for him and also she felt a light pain in her heart a pain she did not quite understood herself she looked back at Udiel and gave him a warm smile.
“Udiel that's not true you are here with us and you want to save your kingdom so don't think that there's nothing you can't do”
“Zelda's right the four of us will stop Adgamin and help you save your kingdom” Link said
“Just believe in us Udiel” Ilia said
Udiel smile” thank you I will forever be in your debt”
Reinaldo and Luda came to the graveyard running they looked panic and scared Link got up to receive him companions the rest of the group also got up.
“Reinaldo Luda what's wrong?”
“The village is under attack” Reinaldo said
The group gasps in shock they didn't waste time as they left the graveyard, when they reach the village they gasp in shock the whole village was being attack by bumblin warriors and bumblin riders. Link went to Epona who was still in the spring with the rest of the horses he went to her pouch and grab his hero bow and the giant quiver, Zelda has already prepare her golden bow and her arrows she shoot a couple hitting some of the bumblin riders. Ilia decided to test her skills with the bow she shoot an arrow and it hit one bumbling rider looks like she was getting better in archery.
Udiel growl even if this people weren't soldiers from his kingdom he wasn't going to let them hurt the people of the village he unsheathed his twin swords and charge at the bumblin army he slash a bumblin rider making him fall from his warthog he got on the mighty beast and started galloping on the warthog slashing every bumblin warrior that was in his path. Link shot an arrow hitting a bumbling rider he saw a couple of bumbli warriors heading his way he unsheathed the master sword and the Hylian shield he charge the warriors with a spin attack knocking them on the ground. Zelda and Ilia saw some of the bumblins were chasing some of the villagers they chase after them, Zelda unsheathed her sword while Ilia took her staff they both attack the bumblins saving the villagers.
Udiel finish the bumblins that were attacking him he then saw a couple more entering from the other entrance he then smack the warthog making him charge into a wild rampage, he hit the bumblins like a bowling ball hitting a couple of bowling pins. The last bumblin was about to attack Udiel but Udiel was already next to him he threw his twin swords across his neck forming a pair of scissors pinning the bumblin helplessly.
Udiel glare at the bumblin” leave this village and don't come back” he said in a cold voice
The bumbli nodded nervously and he left the village by now Link finish the bumblins the same with Ilia and Zelda the villagers that were hiding got out from their hiding places. Reinalod and Luda help some of the villages while the group got back together at the center of the village.
“Is everyone al right?” Link said
“Yes the villagers are safe thanks to the four of you we are in your debt” Reinaldo said
“Nobody is hurt?” Ilia said
“No as soon as we saw them entering the village we hide in our houses” Barnes said
“The important thing is that nobody was hurt” Zelda said
“I hope the Gorons are al right because I saw a large group of those guys entering Dead Mountain” Barnes said
“Should we help them?” Link said
“I don't think that would be necessary the Gorons are warriors they will handle them” Link said
“But just in case we should check on them tomorrow” Zelda added
“Tomorrow then please spend the night we already prepare your rooms at the inn” Reinaldo said
The group nodded as they headed the inn, at the entrance to Dead Mountain King Bumblin was watching carefully he saw Link entering the inn along with his group.
“Great he's here things have become complicated with him around I better hurry and take over Dead Mountain from the Gorons” he enter left for the Gorons hideout
