4Thank you all of my readers for waiting so long! I finally found the notebook that contains this story! To make it up to you all, this is a really long chapter. It is five pages long!
Link looked at Synder. She was in the middle of a cart with a thin blanket wrapped tightly around her. The 3 best archers surrounded her, bows and arrows at the ready. The captain sat in front to steer the horse to Zora's domain.
"Whenever you're ready, Mater Link!" Link pulled out his sword, ready to protect the cart as much as he could.
"Let's go!" The group moved forward. Bulbins with boars, monster-like birds, and bokoblins appeared. The archers released the arrows. The cart moved faster. Link's sword hit many monsters, killing them instantly.
This lasted for 2 more hours before the monsters disappeared when they were close to the domain.
Link looked at the cart and its passengers; there wasn't any casualties and they were about half an hour away from their final destination.
"Ralis! Prince Ralis!" Link called as he ran to the Zoran Prince.
"Link? What's wrong?" The prince asked.
"Where is Princess Zelda?"
"Link? What happened?" The Princess gasped when she saw the blood on Link and Synder, who was in the young man's arms. "Link! Are you alright?"
"Yes, but Synder needs your help!" He carefully set Synder on the ground. He folded his hat into a pillow-like form and placed it under her head.
"What happened to her?" The princess asked as Link removed the makeshift bandages he made.
"Please. Help her." Link begged, silently.
Zelda kneeled down and looked at the wound. It ran from the middle of her chest to the bottom of her ribs. Zelda placed her hand over the wound and began to heal her.
"Prince Ralis? Could you have somewhere for this young girl to rest undisturbed?"
Prines Ralis nodded and ordered some Zora to make a bed fit for the wounded girl.
Link placed Synder on the bed and covered her with a blanket he had found in Zelda's carriage. He stroked the side of her face with the back of his hand.
"Well done, Master Link! I hear that the situation at the castle has been taken care of! Well done!" The head counselor congratulated as he pat Link on his back.
"Sir, could you be a bit quieter?" Link requested softly.
"Why should I?" He demanded loudly.
"Because Synder is resting." Zelda replied.
"Of what importance is this Synder that you and the princess care so much about?"
"1) She's my friend and 2) she saved us all." Link told him in a harsh tone.
"How? How did she "save us all?" Tell me!" the counselor demanded.
Link led the man away from Synder to the princess, who was talking with the captain.
"Princess, Counselor... I need to tell you what happened today." The captain said as Link stood next to him.
"This is outrageous! She is a threat to Hyrule! We must rid ourselves of her!" the counselor proclaimed as he stalked over to Synder, who was still asleep.
"How is she a threat?" Link demanded as he followed the counselor.
"She is a monster! That is evidence enough to prove she is a threat!" The counselor responded as he reached Synder's side.
"But she saved us all!" the captain said.
The counselor grabbed one of Synder's arms and pulled her harshly out of bed. She fell to the floor with a thud and a groan. Her wound opened up once more and blood began to spill from her wound again, ruining the recently put bandages.
"Stop this at once!" Everyone turned and saw the princess walking towards the group.
"Princ-" The counselor began as he let go of the hurt girl, who crawled to a corner of the room they were in, shaking.
"Silence!" Zelda kneeled in front of Synder and reached a hand out to the frightened girl with a smile on her face. Synder backed up and whimpered as her hand touched the wound on her chest. "It's alright. I won't hurt you, Synder." Zelda cooed to the younger girl.
Synder looked at the Princess's face, and then she looked at her hand. She slowly got her hands and knees and quickly crawled into Zelda's arms, shaking and burying her head into the older girl's chest.
"Captain, could you please escort the counselor to the castle?" Zelda requested.
The captain nodded and left with the counselor, who was very reluctant to leave.
"Link? Could you get some fresh bandages and my trunk?" He nodded and left for the requested items.
"Synder? Look at me. Please?" Synder looked up at the princess, tears on her cheeks. "Don't listen to the counselor. He doesn't know how strong and kind you are. Okay?" Synder nodded slowly.
"Princess." Link had returned with the bandages and Zelda's trunk.
"Thank you, Link. Could you make sure no one is looking? You included." He blushed as he walked away, far enough to keep people (and Zoras) away and for him to not be able to hear what was going on behind him.
"Synder, I need you to take off your dress." Synder shook her head and backed away from Zelda. "You must. I won't be able to heal you properly if your dress is in the way." She shook her head again and closed her eyes. She began to be shrouded in black and slowly became smaller. In her place stood a small dragon. Black and midnight blue scales adorned her petite body. She had big violet eyes that stared into Zelda's soul. The sharp tail that she had was blunt. The four horns on her head were also blunt and short. Her wings were folded and small. "You can change your size?" Zelda asked, surprisingly calm.
Synder nodded and walked back over the princess. Zelda wrapped the bandages around the wound, careful to not hurt Synder anymore than she always was. Synder rubbed her head against Zelda's chest, thanking the princess for helping her.
"You're welcome, Synder. Could you please take off your dress, though? I don't want you to walk around like this yet, and your dress is soiled."
Zelda turned around and looked in her trunk for a dress suitable for the dragon girl.
"Link." He turned and saw Synder in a new dress. It was a floor-length dress that was a bit tight around her curves, but didn't change anything about her. It was a navy blue with a thick, white ribbon at the waist that tied up at the back. Her hair had been tied into a high ponytail by a thin, white ribbon. It was simple, but made her look beautiful.
"Y-you look beautiful, Synder." He blushed, so did she. Zelda smiled, seeing the reaction of the two.
"Link, could you please escort us back to the castle?" Zelda asked.
"But, there is only a cart, nothing fit for you, Zelda." Link said.
"That's fine. Come, Synder. I want you to accompany me."
Luckily, there weren't any monsters, so it was a smooth ride.
Why can synder turn into a dragon? Is she a possible threat like counselor says? Zelda thought.
"Link, stop." She said as they stopped right outside the walls of Castle Town.
"What's the matter, Princess? Is something wrong?"
"No. I would like to walk through two to the castle, not ride." Zelda got off the cart, Synder behind her.
As the princess, Link, and Synder walked through town, Synder felt solf-concious.
Why are people staring at me?
She felt a hand cover her mouth and an arm around her arms and waist, dragging her away from her high-ranked friends. She struggled to free herself, but stopped when she felt shoot throughout her thin frame from her chest.
She was pushed against a wall and was forcefully kissed.
There was a scream. There was another.
And another.
And another.
People screamed as they ran out of the way.
The guards ran after.
There was a few grunts.
An iron net was thrown.
There was another scream, but it was not human.
The creature rattled in the net, trying to get out. The guards surrounded the net, their spears pointed at it.
"What's going on here?!"
The guards saw the hero stand behind them, mad.
"We caught a dragon trying to kill a man."
"Just let it go!" Link grabbed the iron net and pulled it off the dragon. It ran off out of the South Gates into Hyrule Field.
Synder stayed in her dragon form, scared of ruining Zelda's dress and of the Hylians that wished to kill her. She felt something fall on to her snout. She looked up and saw the rain begin to pour. She walked around, looking for a place to rest. She climbed into a tree and laid down on the thickest branch covered in leaves.
What will I do now? I can't go back.
