Chapter 2. Trivial Tasks by Beat15
"Uggh, Richard!" Beat groaned as he dragged his feet towards the castle gates. "Of all the jobs you chose debris removal?"
"There was a storm recently. Some trees were knocked against the walls so we have to clear them in order to prevent anyone from sneaking the castle town." Richard explained. "Besides, you'll finish it quickly. Just burn it."
Beat brightened up at the mention of fires. "Oh Richard, you do care." Beat laughed.
"For the love of Nayru! Are there any decent jobs?" Leia groaned as she continued to search for a behest worthy of her skill.
She had watched four groups come and go, leaving with a job she had passed up on. She was starting to consider abandoning the search and head back to help Arthur clean.
As she turned to head home she noticed a fresh post. She spotted a pair of boys walking towards the board. She looked back to the post and saw it was nothing more than collecting mushrooms. She sighed and started walking away.
That's when she found the perfect job.
Lukas followed Finn into the town occasionally stopping to stare at some of the goods offered in Hyrule that he had never heard of. He managed to convince Finn to buy him a bag of bombchus, promising to let Finn have the larger share of the behest they finish.
As they approached the board he noticed a strange girl looking for a job and considered asking Finn if they should help her. He decided against it.
"Any good jobs?" Lukas asked, looking at the board.
"Hmm, not yet. These all seem stupid. 'Chase down milk thief', 'Find my Cuccoos', 'Clear moblin camp'..." Finn paused mentally registering what he just said, "Clear moblin camp?!? That's perfect, let's see, 'near castle wall, hidden in thicket of trees, reward of five...f.FIVE THOUSAND RUPEES?" He gasped at the sum, and thought of what he could do with that money.
Finn turned away and started planning on hiring people to expose Drake, so he didn't notice the girl walking up to take the post.
"Finn, um, Finn?" Lukas called, trying to get his new friends attention.
"What Lukas?" Finn sighed.
"Do you need the paper with the task on it to do it?"
"Yeah, that way people don't waste their time trying to do it when it isn't needed anymore." Finn explained.
"We'll I guess she is gonna get rid of those moblin-things. She just took the post." Lukas stated.
"What?" Finn groaned. He looked at the board and saw the post was gone. "Hey you! Gerudo girl!"
She stopped dead in her tracks and looked back at him, her red eyes burning with anger.
"What?" She snapped.
"I was gonna do that job!" Finn growled.
"You? You're just a child. Go back to the farm where you came from." The girl spat.
Finn gritted his teeth and stepped closer to her. "I can show you who's a child. That job isn't suitable for a..."
"I swear to Din if you say a girl I'll snap your arm so you can't use that bow." She hissed.
"Try it thief-girl!" Finn growled unsheathing his sword.
As Arthur cleaned he heard the rustling of leaves outside. He looked through a peak hole to see a group of moblins headed towards the woods. He laughed as he found an excuse to stop cleaning. As he went to get his bow he heard voices.
"Beat where are you going? The debris is back that way!"
"Yeah I know, but I thought I saw something. I'm gonna go check it out."
"I swear if you're making this up..."
"I'm not Richard, relax."
Arthur looked back through the hole to see two boys headed in the direction of the moblins. He noticed a sword on the older looking boy's belt while the other had a knife in his. He sighed and resumed cleaning. Those two looked capable enough.
"Barry, my trusted enforcer, I have a job for you." Drake stated, his back to the detective.
"Yes Drake. What do you need done?"
"While I deal with the Sages' Army I'd like you to find a crime to accuse the vigilante of doing and hunt him down. Kill his pet mutt too." Drake ordered, turning to face Barry.
"The girl?" Barry asked, trying to confirm his orders.
"Yes that Shiekah-Gerudo girl. That pairing is bound to bring a strong fighter and I don't want to deal with that kind of problem. Kill Arthur and the girl."
"Yes sir." Barry nodded.
"Oh, but before you go I think I should have armed with better equipment. Gather your men, I'll meet with you all shortly." Drake added. "I believe Skull King should have something your men could use."
Leia knew who she was talking to. He was Arthur's son, and he didn't seem much like his father. She didn't want to be near him, especially if he was like most Hylians and believed every Gerudo was a thief.
When he drew his sword she quickly drew her knife, ready to disarm but not harm, just as Arthur had taught her.
"You made a big mistake farm boy." She laughed.
"Wait!" Cried the boy that was with Finn. "We don't need to fight over this! We could all work together."
"I'm not working with him!" She spat, just as Finn said the very same about her.
"Think about it. Both of you say the other is unable to do this task. Why not make a contest of it? Whoever gets rid of the most gets the better half of the reward."
"That may work..." Leia agreed. "Fine. I'm Leia, in case you didn't know I had a name, farm boy."
"Finn, this is Lukas." Finn growled.
"Let's go, the sooner we finish this the sooner you two can get away from each other!" Lukas called as he ran towards the gate.
"Are you sure that's all you need?" Asked Skull King's blacksmith.
"A new blade and simple armor that can be worn under a suit is all they need. They'll be dealing with an archer, not an army." Drake laughed. "I take it you're one of the King's Sins."
"Correct, I'm Dimitri, and I hold the title of Gluttony." nodded the Sin.
"I see, and you don't seem to be a native of Hyrule, may I guess you come from Jinlax, our closest neighboring kingdom?" Drake asked.
"Yes sir, now I must return to my work." Dimitri nodded.
"Well what do you know? You aren't crazy." Richard sighed as he spotted the moblins his friend had mentioned.
"Yeah, and they're using the debris we're supposed to clear to build some kind of mobile ramp." Beat growled pointing out the trees stacked upon a cart. "Shall I start fires?"
"Not yet, they'll attack if we burn their cart." Richard warned.
"We can handle them." Beat argued.
"Not without burning down the whole forest." Richard hissed.
Beat calmed down, seeing Richard's point. "Fine, I'll wait. Until we make a new plan."
Leia didn't like working with Finn. Especially since Arthur may swoop in to reclaim him as his son.
"Leia, how did you know I was from a farm?" Finn asked suspiciously.
"You're attire was one reason. Another is that I saw you arrive in town before with Talon." Leia yawned. "Quiet, we're close. I can hear moblins."
Finn and Lukas hushed themselves listened for the creatures. They looked confused until they heard the shouts of the moblins.
The group then saw a raging fire in a clearing, burning a cart filled with trees. Leia ran in with her knife drawn, quickly taking out three as Finn picked off the ones fleeing the fire. Leia noticed a Gerudo boy standing in front of the fire, waving his arms trying to make it go out. A guard had found Lukas and started keeping moblins away from him. She hadn't expected this when she decided to fight moblins.
When all the monsters were gone the unusual pair introduced themselves.
"I'm the one responsible for that fire. I'm Beat Grimsley." Greeted the Gerudo.
"I'm Richard Mellow." Sighed the guard. "You came at a good time. My friend had just lost his patience and almost burned the forest down."
"Well I... Yeah, if you three hadn't kept the moblins busy I wouldn't have been able to stave off the flames. Thanks for your help."
"What brought you two out here?" Lukas asked.
"The behest board. We were gonna clear the debris from the recent storm. Then Beat noticed the moblins and found their camp. That cart he burned had all the trees that had fallen. So we did our job. What brought you three?" Richard explained.
"Same thing, different behest." Finn replied.
"We were going to get rid of the moblins." Leia added.
"Well we got all our jobs done. Let's go claim our rewards." Beat yawned. "Then I can resume my boredom."
Leia fought the urge to laugh, recalling the moaning she had heard when she was at the board.
"Do we owe you any of the moblin reward?" Lukas asked.
"No. We don't need it. We could probably give you all of our reward. We have amassed a small fortune used solely for renting rooms." Beat yawned. "But we recently started staying with a friend. Isn't she expecting us?"
"That's right! Here take our behest and claim the reward. We've gotta hurry!" Richard gasped.
The guard grabbed his friend and took off towards the castle town. Leia held the page the guard pressed into her hand. When she looked at the reward she gasped. It was two thousand rupees, she folded it up and started walking back to the castle town.
"I'll meet you two back in town. I've gotta take care of some business." Leia called over her shoulder.
"Now what are you staring at Grimsley?" Richard groaned feeling Beat come to a stop.
Beat focused on the wall to the castle town. Something was hidden, and well too. It had been some time since he had seen Shiekah techniques being used to hide something.
"There's a cottage of some sort, hidden with Shiekah magic." Beat whispered.
"Oh, it's you two again." Leia said in surprise as she approached the pair.
"You're half Shiekah, right?" Beat asked.
"Yes, why?" Leia asked nervously.
"Can you see anything on that wall?" Beat asked seriously.
"No, why?" Leia replied quickly, too quickly for Beat's liking.
"I thought I saw something. Guess my Shiekah training is getting rusty. I'm seeing things." Beat laughed. "C'mon Richard, Zelda is waiting."
When he had dragged Richard to the drawbridge leading to town he stopped.
"She's hiding something." Beat growled. "There is something in that cottage and I'm gonna find out."
"Do it tonight, after we've met the princess. She never calls us without something important to say."
"Clovis, how did you manage to do nothing when you spotted Grimsley?" Skull King hissed at his general.
Clovis pushed a stray black hair aside as he yawned. "I overheard him saying he was going to visit the princess. I figured I should report to you, then we could do something seeing as we have someone inside the castle now."
"Oh, that'd be fun." Drake laughed appearing from behind Skull King's throne. "I'll meet the pair outside, and lead them through the hallways to a room full of my guards. Then Sloth here could grab her and bring her here."
Skull King laughed as he nodded. "Do it, I shall have a piece of the Triforce."
