Episode 4: Jabrow: Revelation of Zelda!
Link entered his home, and he walked forward to the space next to the stalls. The sun was now falling over the horizon, casting a fiery glow over the ranch. The horses were being led into the stalls to sleep. Pamela, Toray's wife, was sitting on a near by fence, and Malon was locking the stall's large door. By Malon, a man leaned against the stall wall. He seemed asleep.
"Hey Malon!" Link called. Malon ran over to Link, and she hugged him tightly. After she released, the man against the barn had woken up. Tele had poked him in the stomach to see if he was alive. He walked up to Link and took out a rolled piece of paper. He inspected the parchment and his head rose to look at Link.
"Do you know Link? Man, ain't Link just the stupidest name you ever heard?" The man said. Link scowled at the man.
"I don't think my name is stupid!" Link shot at him. The man stepped back, and he smirked at Link.
"I'm just joking! I was hoping to meet you. I am Jabrow," He said. Link studied him. He had a powerful build, and he looked like he could handle the sword. He wore the same style outfit as Garibal, and he wore Dodongo leather boots. He was a Palinon, with blue hair and electric blue eyes. Link tried to come in tune with the voices of the earth to sense his power. His senses went wild. His power was extraordinary, enough to combat Link, if Link would stop training.
"So you're Jabrow," Toray provoked. Link shook his head slowly, but Toray kept going, "I was told that you were stronger than Link. Well, I want to see. If you can defeat me, than you must be stronger than Link. I'm the greatest fighter in the world!" Deity fell down laughing, and Link walked over to the house to hide his laughter. Jabrow unsheathed his sword, as did Toray.
Toray started to swing at Jabrow. Jabrow dodged every shot, his moves smooth and fluent. Toray charged a spin attack, and when he released, Jabrow jumped backwards. Dust flew up and it blocked Link's field of vision. When the dust cleared, Toray was on his back, and Jabrow held a sword to Toray's face.
"You're strong, but I'm a lot better!" Jabrow yelled. Link's jaw dropped almost to the floor, and Deity looked at Jabrow in amusement. It's him! He's the God of Light! I can feel it! Link walked up to Jabrow in amazement, "Link, are you happy about your sister?" Jabrow asked after he had sheathed his sword.
"Why should I be happy?" Link asked.
"Well, my boss, Garibal, has proposed to Zelda! She is thinking of accepting! This would not only be a story like no other, but it would dissolve all conflict between Palis and Hyrule. Zelda plans to make a formal announcement later, and the whole royal marriage process takes about five years for some reason, but I'm sure that she will accept. I came here to tell you this!" Jabrow said, "Hey, where is he going like that?" Jabrow pointed at Deity. Deity was walking away slowly. Did I just see Deity shed a tear, must be my imagination.
"That's.WOW!" Link yelled. He looked at the sky, and a small smile crossed his face. So, Garibal's gonna be my brother. Wow! Toray was now on his feet, and he was wearing a large grin, but Link remembered what he needed to confront Jabrow about. "We have heard about you. We need your help. Your power matches that of the fabled God of Light. I want you to come to the graveyard, so that you can help us fight a powerful man."
"Well, well, well. I gotta say, I am from the family that the God of Light favored. I don't know if I should help you though. Tell me about the fighter you have to beat," Jabrow stated plainly.
"Well, we don't know a lot about him, but as of now, he is more powerful than all of us combined," Link said. Jabrow sighed deeply.
"Dad, I was trying to meditate, and my last call says that he is now ten times more powerful than before. One strength alone, no one can beat him," Tele added.
"Oh, well that can't be good. I guess I'll help you. Who knows, maybe this'll be fun," Jabrow said. Link shook his hand, and the group left the ranch, and the headed for the castle. They arrived at the magnificent castle a little time after, and inside the main hall, Zelda and Garibal were looking at different paintings on the wall. Link walked up to them, and shook Garibal's hand.
"Hey, I heard you're gonna be my brother!" Link greeted. Deity slumped on the floor against the wall, and Toray were grinning again. Jabrow laughed to himself as Zelda and Garibal blushed madly, Zelda, all great things aside, I have a way of getting to Sky Temple. I need to know if you know where the Dragon Sprites might be. If I can get five, then we can get to Sky Temple."
"Oh my. Okay, I have this compass that can find them. This should be easy for you," Zelda said sulkily. Link stared at her in confusion.
"What is your problem?" Link asked. Zelda shook her head slowly. Link took the compass, and he started to walk out the door.
"Wait, I think you should stay here for the night. If he has become the God of Dark now, then this night would be perfect for attack. Stay the night, and leave at sun up. How does that sound?" Zelda said, not sulky any more. Deity stood up and moped to the stairs. Link took off his equipment, and him and Toray got into the open space to train. Garibal left and he went to his quarters, Deity sat down and took off his armor. Link was boxing with Toray when he saw the look on Deity's face. Man, why does he look so defeated? What is killing him? Zelda, Link, and Toray walked up to Deity.
"Deity, is something bothering you?" Zelda asked. Deity stood up and looked down at Zelda.
"I'm focusing.that's what you do when you.have nothing.to fight for," Deity stuttered. Zelda reached a hand up, and she placed it gently on Deity's face. Deity's face calmed, and Zelda smiled at him. Deity's face suddenly started to contort. Zelda kept her hold, and then a blue thing shot out of Deity's mouth. It flew around Deity's head and landed on his shoulder. It looked like a small cloud of blue smoke. Deity fell to the floor, and Link looked at Zelda in disbelief.
"Link, that's a Dragon Sprite. That compass couldn't show it because it was hidden in Deity's mood. When Deity calmed, the Sprite was released. Link, you have the same technique. When the compass stops glowing, you calm them by putting a hand on their head, then the Dragon Sprite is released. You have four more to find. Now, I need to go," Zelda said. Deity the grabbed her arm and looked her in the eyes. Why are Deity's eyes so shiny?
"Are you going to accept his proposal?" Deity asked. Zelda looked forward, out a window which showed a full moon. She lowered her head slowly, a smile on her face.
"Yes, I will accept Garibal's proposal. I am in love with him. I don't know what draws me to him, but I want to make sure that I find out," Zelda said dreamily. Deity let go, and he stood up. Zelda scurried up the stairs, and Deity sulked the other way. He stood in the middle of the large hall, and he started to do some fighting punches and combos. His strikes were furious. His glare was frightening.
