A little girl being kidnapped.

Link hid as he heard voices approaching. He saw a group of creatures that resembled the Lizafolds he fought back in Hyrule, except these were more lightly armored and lacked wings. There was six of them total. The only two out of the group that looked human were two females. One a small blonde haired girl wearing a white dress struggling against the older woman that held her under her arm like a sack of potatoes. The older woman had long black hair tied back into two pig tails and a cheerful look on her face, but her eyes glowed a violet color, the same as the wizard. But what got his attention was the strange weapon over her other arm. A giant ring that looked sharp.

"Lemme go!" The little girl said.

"Can't. We need leverage to make your mother do our will. Besides, you would make the perfect host for Soul Edge."

Upon hearing those two words, Link pulled out his bow and notched an arrow, firing at the woman. But the woman moved quickly, the arrow hitting one of the lizard creatures between the eyes. Immediately, the woman's attitude did a 180 and her smile faded into a scowl.

"Who did that?!" Link didn't reply or come out of hiding before firing another arrow, taking another lizard creature down. But in doing so, it gave away his hiding spot as three f the remaining four charged at where he was. Link quickly put away his bow and jumped away before one of the creatures struck. Link quickly drew his weapons, his Hylian Shield blocking the attempted strike white he took out the legs of another. He waited as his blade charged before slashing in a 360 turn, decapitating the other 2 still standing. Understandably, this made the woman mad as she tossed the girl to the remaining lizard.

"Hold her, make sure she does not get away!" She readied her strange weapon and ran right as Link finished off the wounded lizard.

CLANK! Her ring connected with his shield, the **** of her blow pushing Link back, but the shield refused to break. The way his opponent fought, it was like a dance but unpredictable. each Time Link tried to land a strike, the woman would often dodge to the side or duck and immediately counter which was blocked by his shield. But both knew the other would eventually miscalculate and leave an opening. Link left his right leg open for longer than a second, allowing the crazed woman to land a strike, cutting through the chain mail he wore under the leggings. The full brunt of the strike was blocked, but it was enough to cause a small scratch to draw blood, and make the pain noticeable. Link quickly rolled, the cloak he wore came off and tried to stand, but fell onto his injured knee as he tried to stand. The crazed woman's eyes widen as she saw Link's ears, but grinned. Link prayed to the Goddesses that help would come soon.
