Starfox Four Swords

Chapter 8

Hero of Hyrule

They looked on from behind a tree. Watching the hylan's go about their daily life. Fox's eyes hovered from side to side scouting the area for Link. He sniffed the air as well but didn't catch his scent.

"Any sight of him Fox?" Falco asked.

Fox shook his head as he stood to his feet.

"So what happens from here?" Traximus asked.

"We take our search elsewhere." Fox replied.

Fox lead the way as they hid behind a couple of barrels. As the time passed by they could here the beating of drums in the far distance, along with singing and trumpets. They sat for nearly an hour as a small patch of dirt blew by.

"So when will we attempt to go and find Link?" Raphael asked.

"I think it would be best if we waited a little closer to sun down, it lowers the risk of us being spotted." Fox explained.

"Good call, but we're out in the open. There's got to be a better place we can crash until then." Leonardo stated.

Fox observed the area as he caught sight of a small building not to far away. He watched it for a good hour or so as he stood back to his feet.

"We're in luck, looks like that place might be abandoned." Fox said.

"Think we should check it out?" Leo asked.

"I don't see why not, we could camp there till sun down."

They all made there way over as they observed all the sides of the complex to make sure no one was around. After all was clear Raphael slightly nudged the front door open. It was stiff but he didn't make to much noise. They all entered as they closed the door behind them. The room was bleak and the air was very dense. The only light source came from a far window up near the top left wall. There were spider webs along the wall as well as covering the tables.

"I guess this will prove as an adequate hide out." Traximus said.

"It'll have to do, at least until we can come up with something better." Leonardo stated.

"So what happens from here?" Falco asked.

"We wait until night fall." Leonardo replied.

They sat around in the small cabin, as they re ranged the place dusting off all of the accessories. Night came as they sat around, healing from their previous encounters. Fox walked over as he opened the front door. Leonardo walked up next to him.

"A couple of the other's are asleep, should I awake them."

"Let them sleep, we'll be heading back here in any case." Fox replied.

Before they closed the door Traximus stepped out as well.

"I will go with you both, it's always good to benefit from an extra pair of eyes and ears."

"Very well, remember we need to try and stay on the down low."

"Got it." Leonardo said.

Fox walked forward as they made their way around the bushes and made their way to the main road. The whistling of the wind blew past their ears as they walked down the side of the dirt road. They walked on, not saying a word to one another. Leo looked into the far distance as he came to a stop. Fox and Traximus stopped as they looked back at him.

"Leonardo what's wrong?" Traximus questioned.

Leonardo looked to the fields in the distance as he slowly reached for one of his swords.

"We're not alone."

Traximus grunted as he to looked into the distance of darkness. Fox's ears purked up as an arrow flew right in between them. Leonardo jumped back while pulling out his swords. Everything becomes silent as someone steps from the tall grasses.

"Hello Fox, I was wondering when you'd arrive."

"Link."
