Chapter 3: The Sure Blade

Amara looked over the red-orange sky atop Goron Hill. *It's so silent and peaceful up here. *
"Why, oh, why did you leave me, Zubin?!" she cried.
At that moment, Amara looked to find a giant rolling pink cloud coming toward her. At first she felt fear, but then she felt peace, as if she knew it wasn't
going to hurt her.
An angelic voice fluttered throught the air, down to Amara's sharp Hylian ears.**Don't worry, Amara. Zubin is fine. You must forge the sword to protect the Triforce from the evil Gerudo King, Ganondorf.**
Then the clouds disappeared and left her standing there. Her face shone of
of the sun and she now knew her destiny. She had to help save Hyrule.

Amara walked down back to her house and found Linkchepto hammering away at a steel block.
"Let's do it," Amara said.
Linkchepto hammered away at the steel block for days on end till the steel formed a blade. Then Amara poured an acid bath to strengthen the sword and make the sword's natural beauty shine through. This process took 3 weeks. Finally, it was time to ingrave the sword. Linkchepto took the blade and heated it till the blade grew red-hot and he pulled it from the flame. Using a fine sharpened tool, he ingraved circlets and a small picture of the Triforce at the middle. He also wrote these words: "To utilize this sure blade, ye must be the Hero of all Time!"
"Beautiful, Linkchepto.." Amara told him.
The two wrapped it up in a soft, sheepskin blanket and delivered it to Rauru. They left just in time for supper that evening.
"This is a delicious soup, Amara. What is it?" Linkchepto asked her.
"It's called Cucco soup. It's a recipe I got from a lady down at a potion shop in Lake Hylia a few years back when Zubin and I...." She stopped and tried hold back the tears that she knew were rolling in.
Linkchepto got up and walked over to her side and held her close. He whispered," I'm here now. I will take care of you."
Amara's eyes glittered and she leaned in to kiss her friend.

Months passed, and the winter weaned into spring, giving new hope for the couple.
"Oh dear..." Amara said.
"What is it, honey?" Linkchepto called to her.
"It's coming!" she yelled.
"OHMIGOSH! I'll call the doctor!"
Amara walked slowly to her bed, clutching her stomach, and crying in pain.
"HELP! HELP! Where's the doctor!?"Linkchepto yelled, running around the village square.
"What is this time?!" yelled a man opening his window.
"It's Amara! She's having her baby!"
"I'll be right down!" yelled the man, grabbing his doctor bag and heading toward Amara's home.
A few hours later, Amara gave birth to a beautiful blue-eyed baby boy.
"What are you going to call him?" asked the doctor, cleaning up his hands.
"I think I'll call him....Link...LINK! That's a great name for my son.
"It's perfect," Linkchepto told her, a tear running down his cheek.
The next day, a brave soldier was acclaimed King of all Hyrule and was joined by Mistress Ariana of Calatia. They too had a blonde, blue-eyed, child born.
