3RD PERSON POV

Link was in castle town to report to Zelda about the enemy's movements until he saw some of the villagers from (Y/n)'s home. He was shocked when he saw them, some of the men and women were injured and the children were either orphans or they were also injured as well.

 Link was shocked when he saw this and he then saw Kikki who was with her Mother. Link ran over to her and he shouted at her.

"Kikki!!"

Kikki saw Link and she ran over to him and she hugs him tightly. 

"Link! you have no idea how happy I am to see you!"

"Shh, it's all right Kikki, I'm here."

Link released the hug and he then asked her.

"What on earth happened to you and where are the rest of the villagers including the women, I noticed there's only half of them missing including (Y/n) and your friends."

Kikki looked away from him and then the mayor came over to Link.

"It was bandits Link."

Link looked at the mayor and he continued.

"(Y/n) warned me about the bandits but, before we could prepare for an invasion, they just attacked us and we did our best to fight them off but they were too strong..."

The mayor lowered his head in despair and he continued.

"(Y/n) and her father did their best to fight them off but, James died while trying to fight off the enemy and as for (Y/n) and my beloved daughter Katsumi was kidnapped by those thugs."

Link was shocked when he heard this and then Zelda showed up along with some of her servants that food, water and some blankets including some of the healers as well.

"They speak the truth Link, this happened a few days ago when you left to keep an eye out for the enemy, it would seem these bandit attacks are related to Ganon and the others."

"No way, oh no, I should've been there."

Kikki looked at Link and she asked him.

"Link please, you've got to find my friends!"

"And you've got to find my daughter, please I'm begging you!"

Some of the villagers began to beg for him and then Link spoke up.

"All right! all right! I get the idea that all of you are worried about your daughters and the rest of the girls but don't worry, I'll do what I can but, I need to head back to the village so that I can try and pick up where they disappeared to."

"Thank you! thank you!"

The Mayor said as he had tears of joy in the corner of his eyes. Link sweat dropped and then Zelda said to him.

"My men will do what they can to help you as well, they have some knowledge about these bandit attacks."

"Thank you, Princess, I'll do what I can to find the missing girls."

Zelda smiled at this when he said this.

Back in the dark castle, (Y/n) was tugging on the choke collar that Dark Link placed on her neck from before while walking behind him.

"Stop messing with that collar, you can tug on it all you want but it's not coming off."

"But can you at least loosen it a little? it's choking me and it's uncomfortable."

"Stop whining, you'll get used to it."

Dark Link said angrily before he looked straight ahead again. While his head was turned away from her, she stuck out her tongue at him. Sakura was scrubbing the floors with the other slaves and she then said to one of them.

"Phew, you guys do this every day?"

"Yeah, we have to since we're bought by these people and there's nothing we can do about it."

"I see, I'm Sakura by the way and you are?"

"My name is Lucy, it's nice to meet you Sakura."

Lucy said as she soaked her scrubbing brush again. Sakura then asked her.

"So how did you end up in the slave markets?"

"Just like you, I was also kidnapped from my village but, I didn't care what they did to me."

"Why? aren't your parents or your siblings worried about you?"

"Not really, I'm the only child, my mom died when I was a baby and my Father never really did pay much attention to me but until the last minute he had to die while protecting me, he wasted his life if you ask me."

Sakura was shocked when she heard Lucy say that.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"Don't be, you can call me crazy if you want to, but, I'm actually glad that they took me away from my village because I used to think that place was nothing more than hell for me since my childhood wasn't a very good one."

"Really? wow, I guess some of the slaves really do have troubled pasts including (Y/n), I'm sorry to hear what you were going through."

"It's fine, what about you? what was your life like before you became one of us."

Sakura was about to tell her until she saw Dark Link and (Y/n). Lucy also saw them and then they went back to work in silence. (Y/n) looked at Sakura and she mouthed 'sorry' to her before she and Dark Link went by them.

Once they were gone, Lucy looked back at Sakura and she said to her.

"Your friend, she seems really strong."

"You can tell?"

"Of course, I can tell from the scars on her back, I know they're from whip marks but, I can see some kind of scratch marks probably from a blade."

"That's because she's a Sheikah, I only found out a few days ago."

Lucy was shocked when she heard Sakura say this.

"A Sheikah? impossible, they were said to be extinct."

"Extinct?"

"Yeah, from what I've heard, after the dark forces appeared they got rid of the Sheikah tribe I have heard that some of them managed to escape but, no one knows what happened to those who escaped, they all thought they were killed as well, I certainly wasn't expecting this one to appear, so there is still hope yet."

Lucy said with a small smile. Sakura was a little confused at first but, she was right though, somehow they were going to escape but the question was, how were they going to escape from their hellhole?

In the shadow realm, Leila had captured another one of the Sheikahs and she had beaten him senselessly. He was on his knees and Ganon was grinning at the pathetic sight of him right now.

"Excellent work Lelia, now tell me Sheikah, where can I find the rest of your tribe?"

He glared at Ganon and he then glared at Lelia.

"Your father would be so disappointed in you Lelia, he knew that you would have gone down this path and he was right."

"Too bloody right I am and I ain't turning back, besides, you guys are all weaklings anyway."

The male Sheikh wasn't going to give up the information that easily and then he shoved Leila away from him and then he began run away from her and Ganon. Ganon frowned and he shouted.

"After him you fools!!"

"I'm on it!!"

Leila shouted and then she disappeared into the shadows. The male Sheikah knew what was going to happen and he also knew that Lelia would have done anything to get what she wants. The male Sheikah came to a halt and he saw how high the fall was. Before Lelia could catch him he jumped off the ledge and then he fell to his death. Lelia frowned and she then got to the courtyard but it was too late, his body had crushed onto the concrete ground so hard that he started bleeding.

Ganon appeared beside Lelia and she grumbled angrily.

"Damnit, not another one, I always keep forgetting that my ex-assassins would do anything to keep their comrades safe even if that meant killing themselves in the process, I'm so sorry my Lord."

"Don't apologise, we'll find them and when we do, with your abilities you'll make them bow to their new leader."

Leila chuckled and she then looked at her right hand and she spoke up again.

"Of course they will, they have the one thing that they don't have..."

Lelia's hand started glowing a grey colour and she chuckled evilly.
