In the Life of a NeoGerudo Pet: Part One

by tiger_fire

Nabooru had left Desert_Spirit in charge of the fortress while she was gone...she said look after your brothers, your sister, the rest of the Gerudos...yada yada.

Boring. Desert_Spirit (more commonly known as Spirit) hated to look after the fortress. Nothing exciting ever happened. So when Nabooru left and told him to watch over everything, he yawned a big Lupe yawn, and nodded to indicate he had heard.

It was around noon when a mysterious cloaked female came along, demanding to speak with whoever was in charge.

Finally, there was something new to do.

Spirit took the mysterious cloaked woman into the council room, her face hidden by the hood of her cloak. He sat down in the chair that would normally be Nabooru's. He gestured for the lady to sit in the chair across from him. She sits down.

For the first time, she speaks, "I suppose you know Gannondorf is VERY upset with Nabooru at the moment?"

I recognise that voice!!! he thinks silently. He shakes off an eerie feeling and finally says, "Why would Gannondorf be upset with her?"

"Because it's slowing down MY progress taking over NeoHyrule!!!" the hood comes off, revealing the head of the Dark Faerie.

Spirit stares in awe...this is the boss of Gannondorf!!! He's a bug compared to her!!! We're having enough troubles with HIM.

The Dark Faerie continues "Gannondorf knows what she is planning to do. So we're gonna catch her!!"

She thinks a moment, then says " You're coming with me!!!" and before Spirit can even scream, he's transported elsewhere, the last thing he remembers seeing is the Dark Faeries evil face, zooming in on his, grinning an evil grin.

Spirit woke up to find himself in a dark, dark room. Squinting, he realized he was in a mediaeval torture chamber. Looking closer, he could see another pet, a blue female (or it looked blue, but Spirit wasn't sure, it was too dark) Shoyru attached to the opposite wall.

"What are you in here for?" she startles him when she looks up and speaks.

"I...I...I...uh....I really don't know," he finally said.

"Trying to stop the Dark Faerie eh?" she says, chuckling to herself. "That's what I tried to do...and now look at me. I've been stuck in this creepy old room for at least half a year."

"Wow. I'm gonna get out...I won't be in here THAT long." Spirit told her with false bravado, but added silently, "I hope."

More chuckles.

"You think so, eh? You may be brave, but you sure aren't smart. You won't be able to even get past Sheikan." She grins, amused at the words this foolish Lupe had said.

"Shiekan? Who's-" he began.

"Shiekan is the poor Shiek whom the Dark Faerie has taken over. He is at her will, brain washed by the excellent witches, Koume and Kotake. Their specialty is taking over peoples minds...I hear their next target is an arrogant Gerudo queen."

"No...not Nabooru," he whispers to himself miserably.

"Nabooru, is it? So that is her name...sounds familiar. Hmmmm...your name....what is it?" she asks, obviously curious to find out more about this interesting stranger.

"I'm Spirit....I'm a Gerudo...top rank of the Gerudo pets....I...I belong to Nabooru." He says sadly, imagining his master's good heart performing the evil tasks of Gannondorf and the Dark Faerie

"Spirit eh? We've heard much of you as well," the Shoyru thinks to herself.

"And who might you be?" Spirit asks her.

A long, long silence. "I am Sheeka, the Shieka pet of Shiekan."

Spirit's eyes open wide. "You...you're the pet of that Shiekan guy you told me about? That's why you're here?"

"Alas, yes. I tried to save him, but I failed...failed him miserably. That is why I am here. I'm stuck here. I could easily escape, but I shant leave without him," she answers Spirit's bewildered question.

"If I get out of here, I'll help you free him, if you help me and Nabooru. Deal?"

A long silence. Then Sheeka takes a deep breath. Then slowly, ever so slowly, she grins.

"Let's get outta here."
