Whispers of the Desert #12

Instructions

Rachel's POV: "Hey Riju, don't you think its odd that we found this mural, that's about Gerudo Town, and I had found that ancient Gerudo Temple? What if there is some kind of connection?" I asked her. "Your right! Maybe there is something there!" Riju exclaimed, "Come on Lillie, lets go to the temple." Lillie followed us eagerly. I led the way, Riju followed me, and Lillie followed her. When we got there, we saw that the old stone door was cracked in many places with age. It took a while, but we finally got it open. As we walked through a long, dark, and wide corridor. Suddenly, we heard voices ahead. We immediately crouched down and hid behind a rock. "Yeah! What a brilliant plan boss!" Another voice responded, "OF COURSE IT IS! I thought of it!" I grew pale, and immediately felt faint. "Sa'oten That's the voice of Master Khoga," I murmmured. They must have turned this sacred Gerudo Temple into a Yiga Hideout! Riju seemed to figure it out as I did. We gave each other frightened glances, then we stood up. "Stay here Lillie! We will take care of this!" Riju ordered her. Riju and I rushed up the stairs at the end of the corridor and into a room. Inside was Master Khoga and two other yigas, they saw us as soon as we entered the room. "WHO GOES THERE?!" he bellowed. "Chief Riju of Gerudo Town! And I ORDER you to leave now!" "And me, Rachel, assistant Chief of Gerudo Town!" "YOU! I HAD YOU KIDNAPPED AS A CHILD! THEN YOU MADE ME FALL DOWN THE PIT IN MY HIDEOUT!" he shouted at me, stomping his little feet, "No matter, I'm afraid that's IMPOSSIBLE! This is our new hideout." He turned to a one of the yiga soldiers and said, "Take care of them, I have business elsewhere." Then, Master Khoga vanished, and Riju and I readied our weapons, she pulled out her scimitars and I grabbed my spear. We charged.... ........................................................................................ Soon enough, the Yigas surrendered to us, then we tied them up, and Riju proceeded to question them. "Alright, which one of you is the blademaster?" she asked them. "M-me!" one grunted, struggling against the rope in an attempt to break free. "How did you get here? What are you doing here?" "I don't know, I just followed Master Khoga here!" Riju stared him down and then walked over to me and said, "What now Rachel? They won't talk!" "Let me try! If nothing else, let's just let them go and explore the rest of the temple." I said to her. Riju agreed with me and I walked over to them and began to question them. As I approached them, I heard one mutter to the other, "Oh no, its Rachel." "You know me?" I asked them. "Yes, of course I do, I'm one of the Yiga's who helped kidnapped you all those years ago!" Riju got a furious look and started to walk over with an angry look on her face. I signaled to her to stop and she did. I turned back to the yiga and said to him, "Do you know what's going to happen if you don't answer my questions?" "You don't scare me little Gerudo!" "Alright, Riju!" I called to her, "Lets sneak them back to their hideout, then we can toss them down the pit." Riju looked at me confused, so I winked at her, signaling that I wasn't serious. Then she understood and said, "Okay Rachel, lets get on with it." As we approached them, the Yiga blademaster suddenly cried out, "Alright! Alright! I'll talk!" I grinned at my sister and approached the blademaster again. "I'll ask my question again, what were you and Master Khoga doing here?" He sighed and responded, "We were going to steal the jeweled fruit so we could destroy Gerudo Town." "Where is the fruit?" I asked him. "It is in the deepest chamber in the the Temple." "Sarqso for your cooperation." I said to him, and started to walk away. "Wait! Your not just going to leave us here, right?" he asked me. "I'm sure that Master Khoga will be back for you soon enough." I said to him. "Sav'orq!" I walked back over to Riju, satisfied the with the information I had gathered.
