Aryu hurried to the Princess' bedroom she opened the door and slammed it, surprising the Princess.
"Princess pack your things, you're going to Termina," Aryu ordered. "You will be safe there, I will take a wagon and take you there, we will stay with Mayor Kafei."
"And my father?" Zelda asked, worriedly.
Aryu kept quiet. Zelda took this as he had to stay. Her father staying is not good.
"Princess, don't despair, its for the best, besides, Hyrule will return to its former glory remember?" Aryu reassured.
It seemed to cheer up the Princess, but not by much. After a few seconds, she was done gathering her things and left with Aryu to the stables, where her attendant gathered two of the fastest and strongest horses, Bolt and Saber, then attached them to a wagon, where the Princess was inside and made the horses go full-speed to the gates of Hyrule Castle Town Market.
A number of people were still outside in the streets, minding their own business when they were disturbed by the rapid galloping of the two horses. One second they were there, one second they were not.
"How will we get to Termina?" Leia asked Arthur.
"Well, one way is through the Lost Woods," Arthur replied. "That way is long and dangerous, if we get lost, we get turned into Stalfos."
Just then the bridge to the Castle Town Market fell down and two horses and a wagon bolted out of it. Arthur and Leia recognised the one who was driving the horses as Aryu, Zelda's attendant, which meant Zelda was inside the wagon. The wagon was headed in the direction of Termina.
"Well, I believe we have ourselves a ride," Arthur said. "You two sneak into the wagon, whilst I distract the attendant."
The two nodded and ran after the wagon, careful as to not be seen.
Arthur took his bow off of his back and loaded an arrow. He aimed for the arrow to whizz pass Aryu's face. He let it fly. The arrow went past her face, as he had planned, and caught her attention. That is when he ran in front of the horses.
An arrow whizzed past her face, she looked in the direction of the arrow and saw that no one was there, until she looked in front of her. A figure of a man stood, blocking her path.
"Bandit," she muttered. "Get out of my way, unless you wish to die." she ordered.
"It is not me who will die," the man replied, drawing his sword.
Aryu growled and drew her Guan Duo, and went to face the man in combat. She was surprised by his skill but then she started to get the better of him, until he grabbed her arm and sent electricity through her arm, so much so that she fainted. She slowly went down to the floor feeling numb all over her body.
"Princess..." she whispered as her vision went black.
Finn and Leia saw Arthur distract the attendant and entered the wagon, Princess Zelda was surprised and tried to back away, until Leia grabbed her arm and used her free arm to put her hand around her throat.
"Don't. Say. A. Word," Leia threatened, tightening her grip around her throat a little. Zelda nodded and Leia let go.
"Geez Leia, we want her alive not dead," Finn said and looked at the Princess, he smiled. "I guess the rumours of the Princess' beauty are true."
Leia elbowed Finn in the ribs.
"Ow! What was that for?" Finn moaned.
"Stop staring at the Princess," she chided.
Zelda was confused, first of all, there was the boy from her dream, who just acted unheroicly by taking her hostage along with another girl, who looked like a gerudo and a sheikah, then they started arguing amongst themselves.
"What do you want with me?" she asked. "Are you going to take me back to the Castle?"
"We're not taking you to the Castle, we're headed to Termina, like you," Finn replied.
"Is that it? Don't you know that when I get out-" Zelda started.
"Who said you'll be alive?" Leia threatened. Finn nudged her.
"Don't be mean," He said.
The wagon lurched forward, as if it was moving. Zelda grew more fearful.
For most of the journey, Leia and Finn talked and argued. Also, Zelda kept staring at Finn thinking about her prophetic dream. Finn noticed this, and it was bugging him.
"What is it?" Finn snapped. "You keep looking at me, is there something you want to tell me?"
"Well..." Zelda trailed off.
"What? You attracted to me or something?" Finn replied.
"No!" Zelda said, getting a little red on her face. "You look like someone I know."
The rest of the trip was met with silence. No one said anything.
After half an hour the wagon stopped moving, Arthur opened the door to the wagon with Aryu by his side, her hands tied up and Arthur had her weapon.
Aryu saw the two others and noticed Leia. She looked like a Gerudo but also a Sheikah.
"Everyone out." Arthur ordered. Once they were all out, Arthur apologised and explained that they needed to get to Termina quickly.
"Before you leave," Aryu said and pointed at Leia. "You, look like you could be a Gerudo, like me, but your eyes tell me that you have Sheikah blood. Who are you? And if you are Sheikah, why are you going against the Royal Family?"
Leia didn't want to answer the question, so she threw a deku nut on the ground and vanished along with Finn and Arthur.
"She even uses a Sheikah technique," Aryu muttered.
"That boy, I think he was the one from my dream," Zelda said.
"You think so?" Aryu asked.
"I know so," Zelda replied.
They reappeared in the east of town. Arthur lead them to an alley where a little kid was standing guard, he was about to say something when he recognised Arthur and let them through.
"Why did he let you pass?" Finn asked.
Arthur smiled,"I helped them out when I was on my travels."
The path went into a sewer, Arthur lead them through a series of corridors and rooms. He eventually stopped at a stone wall.
"I also have another hideout here, in fact, this is the same hideout as back in Hyrule," Arthur said and smirked."Don't ask how I do that, Drake isn't the only one that is good at magic."
Arthur muttered some words in an unknown language and a door appeared on the wall. He opened the door and what he had said was true, it was exactly how they had left it before.
Leia realised something.
"What was the point of us gathering our stuff?" she asked.
"In case of an emergency, Drake might've found our hideout and used his magic to force it to show, and to test how quick you are in gathering your stuff," Arthur replied. Leia growled and walked inside and threw her stuff on the floor and took out the same book she had been reading.
"What do you read?" Finn asked.
"History," Leia replied.
"Which history?"
"Gerudo history, Hylian history, Sheikah history and sometimes I read sheikah ability books," Leia answered.
"Oh," Finn said and took a look around. In this large, square, room there were shelves of books that covered every inch of the wall.In the middle there was a large table with various scrolls scattered on it and open books on it, chairs that were supposed to surround the table were scattered around the room. Some were near corners, some were just in space.
There were two doors leading out of the room. One opposite the entrance and one on the wall adjacent to the entrance.
Finn went through the door opposite the entrance.
This room was a kitchen, smaller than the last room he was in and rectangular in shape. There were scrolls over the counters.
Finn exited the room and went to the other door and opened it. He was met by a corridor with four doors, two on each side. He decided to go through the door on his left and he was greeted by Arthur, who was going through a scroll.
He noticed Finn and immediately stopped reading the scroll.
"Ah Finn, I was going to get you, go through the other door on this side of the corridor, that is the training hall, wait there for me while I get Leia," Arthur said, and left the room.
"You were unsuccessful in getting the boy?" Drake said, coolly.
"Yes, Lord Drake," replied Barry.
"You are lucky I need you because of your skills and expertise, otherwise I would've killed you on the spot and had your body burned in the furnace," Drake growled.
"Another thing to report, the soldiers say they saw the Princess and her attendant fleeing Hyrule," Barry reported.
She's only speeding up my plan. Drake thought.
"Gather your best men and look for them in the lands in and around Hyrule," He ordered.
"My Lord," Barry said as he bowed and left the room.
A while after he had left, there was a knock on Drake's door.
"Come in," he called.
The King of Hyrule stepped in. He had a worried look on his face.
"My King, what is wrong?" Drake said, feigning worry in his voice.
"My daughter, she is nowhere to be found, neither is her attendant," the King replied. "What am I to do?"
"This must be the work of the vigilante and his side kick, they recently kidnapped Talon's son. They must have your daughter,"
"I doubt it, the guards would've seen them, or her attendant would've made quick work of them,"
"They are not to be underestimated, they even managed to escape Barry and his elite team,"
"I see, I want wanted posters all over Hyrule and notify the lands surrounding Hyrule," The King ordered.
"Yes, my King," Drake said, bowing as the King left the room. Drake rolled his eyes and made sure no one could hear him with his magic, before reporting to his leader.
"By tomorrow, we're going to have be low-profile, if something happens we'll go dark. Wanted posters of all of us will be around Termina, and most likely wherever we go," Arthur explained. "Wear your cloaks at all times, with your hoods up, no going into any bars, you'll be most likely found out and we'll have to flee Termina. One more thing, most likely you won't be able to get here the way I did. There is another way of getting here that I made in case of emergency, it pays to be prepared. Now, lets train."
Arthur handed Finn and Leia wooden swords, he told them to spar and Leia beat Finn with ease. Arthur helped Finn with his stance and defence. They sparred again and Finn either blocked or parried each of Leia's swings, until he tried to attack and she disarmed him, and put the two swords to his throat. Finn growled and took his sword back. This time he focused his mind on parrying and striking.
Leia tried to jab at Finn, he parried it, leaving her wide open and kicked her away. She charged at him and feinted to the right, Finn somehow saw this and blocked the attack and swung to the left of her which she blocked and jabbed at Finn again, which he blocked, then she jabbed again, testing his defence, the third time he rolled around to the back of her and hit the back of both of her legs and put the tip of his sword to the back of her neck.
Arthur was surprised, he never knew Finn could pull off a move like that.
"Alright that's it for today," Arthur said. "Everybody get some rest."
The next day, it was as Arthur had said. There were wanted posters of them everywhere. Leia pulled her hood over her head some more and walked over to one of the posters.
It read:
WANTED: ALIVE
ARTHUR THE VIGILANTE
REWARD: 800,000RUPEES
There was another right next to it that read:
WANTED: ALIVE
LEIA THE SHEIKAH
REWARD: 500,000RUPEES
And one last one that read:

Leia smiled and muttered,"Nice, we're wanted criminals now."
