Chapter Three � Arden the Thief
A/N: Hello ppl this is Element what�s up, this is chappie three of TSDS, enjoy.
�WHAT!!� the king stood up and yelled at Link,
�There was a fire today at Kakariko Village and the Kokiri Stone has been stolen� Link said standing up from his kneeling position. The king was an old man but his temper made up for his age, his eyes were an amber brown and he had balding brown hair, along with a brown beard. He wore the regular robes of Hyrule (purple and green I think?) and a crown on his head, he was; before his outburst, sitting in a throne and beside him was the queen. She was a beautiful women dressed in a baby blue dress, the end of it flowing on the ground a bit behind her, her eyes were a emerald green and her wavy blond flowing hair shone in the sunlight. She sat quietly, listening in her throne beside the king�s throne.
�I am well aware of the fire, but how could the Kokiri Stone be stolen? You are the head guard of this castle I thought you had this under control�
�I did your majesty, I don�t know how she could have found the place where it was. It was hidden quite well only 3 people in this whole castle knew where it was. That is Princess Zelda, me and Catherine and I assure you that me nor Princess Zelda, gave the secret away� Link explained. The king turned to one of the guards at the door.
�Guard go find Catherine and bring her here now� the king said roughly.

Arden galloped through Hyrule Field the Kokiri Stone safe in her pouch, she then stopped. Getting off her horse she slapped it on its behind and it galloped away, the thief then pulled out from her back (ya know how Link in the game keeps all his things under his shield that�s what I mean by �pulling out from her back�) a black, bowling ball shaped bomb. She dropped it at her feet and stepped back a few feet, the bomb exploded creating a small blast. Arden ducked as a few pieces of Earth flew this way and that, she looked up to see a hole in place of the bomb. She walked to the hole and jumped into it, like she had done it many times before. She landed easily on her feet, before her was a huge tunnel and it seemed to go on for miles. Arden began to walk confidently through the tunnel her red hair flowing behind her.

A auburn haired girl looking about 15 with purple eyes walked into the throne room, she immediately kneeled before her king.
�Your majesty you wished to see me� she said as she stood up to look at him, her voice had lost the snobby tone from it and was replaced with a forced calmness.
�Yes Catherine, I was wondering if you know anything about the recent theft of the Kokiri Stone from my daughter�s room this morning� the King said with a professional tone to it.
�No sir I�m afraid I don�t, until you told me I had no idea that the stone was stolen�
�Be as that may since you are one of the 3 who knew where the stone was hidden, you, Link, and my daughter will search out the culprit� Link who had been listening quietly suddenly stepped forward.
�Your majesty, I know that we were going to have to get the stone back, but I thought that I would do it on my own. I wasn�t aware I was going to have partners� he said
�Nonsense Link of course you will it gets the job done faster, alright we�re done here. You two may go� he said pointing to the door, Link and Catherine left the throne room quietly.

Arden walked through the ground tunnel�s she stopped and then stepped back a few paces, and stomped her foot on the dirt. It wiggled a bit and was softer then any of the other dirt, she bought her foot up above the ground and then quickly bought it down on the spot. The dirt suddenly was gone and all that was left was a hole, she smirked and jumped down. The height of the jump was about 20 feet but she landed in a cat-like stance on the ground. Before her was a whole different world, the walls were dirt but the floor she was walking on was stone. As she walked through the centre of this huge place, on her right side she could see was two people duelling, one guy slashed with his sword at his opponent the sword cut his bare arm leaving a wide gash that was making red blood run down his arm but the guy continued to fight. On her left side was a bunch of large towering huts (like the ones in Kokiri Forest, that Link used to live in) for living spaces, she walked to the last one climbed the ladder and pushed away the curtain of cloth pretending to be a door. When she came through a tall man turned around, he had short red hair to his ears and unlike his sister crystal blue eyes. He smiled when he saw her, but his eyes quickly narrowed.
�Do you have it?� he asked, she quietly reached behind her shield and pulled out a pouch, which she opened, and the Kokiri stone fell into her hand. His eyes seemed to glow as he looked at the green emerald. �You do, well done sister�
�Now give me my pay� her voice was sharp and demanding.
�Touchy....� he mocked but none the less dropped a leather bag into her hands, she shook it, it rattled inside. �Now why don�t you go and do the last part of the deal�
�I already told you Vulcan I�m not going to kill the king!� she bellowed at him,
�Fine, but if you don�t I will throw you out of here so fast you�ll wish for mom and dad back�
�You know I don�t want them back� her voice went back down to a whisper
�Of course you don�t your the one who killed them, aren�t you?� Arden�s silence held the answer. �That�s right you killed them, but back to the subject at hand. I will pay you triple for this little job� he taunted holding up three bag�s of coins in her face and wiggling them around, Arden looked at them but turned her face away. But he toke a bag and began to wiggle it in front of her �Come on sis just kill the king and get it over with, it�ll help me the colony even you in the future� but Arden remained quiet. �Fine I�m sorry Arden but you made me resort to this, bring the girl in� he said to the door or rather piece of cloth hanging from the doorframe. In a few seconds a man holding a girl about 8 years old by the arm, he held a knife to her throat. The young girl was sniffling and looked about ready to cry. �Now sister you wouldn�t want me to have to kill off this pretty little thing now do you, all you have to do is simply agree to kill the king and I we wont have any blood-shed this morning� he said sweetly, Arden looked from the frighten little girl to her brother several times.
�Alright!� she said her voice high, she then whispered with her head down �I�ll do it�
