The Siege of Windfall Island

By: Jacob Edrington

It was a cool October day in the Great Sea the wind was blowing spraying sea foam from the shore. The gulls were screeching, Sailors were at work in port, and Zunari the Shop Guru was busy at work this was the peaceful scene at Windfall Island.
Gannon had been killed by Link, and the world was at peace… or was it?
Hoy Link, screamed Link’s little sister Aryll. Grandma says to be home by 6. Ok Aryll screamed link, thank you! Link’s family had recently moved to Windfall Island in order to get away from the constant monster attacks on Outset.

Link was starting to get bored, and went down to the beach. He went past Tot the dancer on his way, and as he passed Tot screamed at the sky, why must I be cursed so? Why does my dance not change the sky? Tot was trying to do the song of passing {a song that turns night to day, and vice-versa.} Ok thought Link as he passed, and hurried on.

When he finally reached the beach it was late afternoon. He laid down on the shore, watching crabs scuttle by, and the Fishman jumping up breaking the surface of the water. {They are fish that can speak the words of men.} Suddenly Link turned, and saw a huge pirate ship. It was 60 ft from
Head to toe, had1 sail, and the traditional skull, and cross bones. The ship grew closer, and Link relaxed it was Tetras ship. When the ship docked in port Link was the first one to meet the friendly pirates.
As the ship drew closer Link could see it was a mess. The mast was snapped in half, the sail was full of arrows, and its port bow had a hole in it!!! Link thought what happened to the boat???
When Tetra got to Link she had a grim expression.
When Link saw this he immediately confronted her. Tetra… what’s wrong? Link I have some bad news, Gannon’s army is coming to destroy Windfall.


Auction House: 9 P.M.
The whole Island, and more was gathered on the first floor of the auction house. Species of all kinds were gathered there. From Ritos, to koroks, all good creatures of the sea were standing around mumbling. Attention everyone yelled Link Tetra has come to tell us about Gannon’s army’s upcoming invasion! Immediately everyone turned their heads towards Tetra. Being a Hero gets respect, and attention. Ok everyone sighed Tetra I’ll tell you every thing I know.


Flashback
Me, and my crew had just finished raiding a Moblin village when we saw a huge bonfire. I cautiously snuck towards the light. When I got closer I saw the biggest amount of monsters I had ever seen in my life. Every kind was there from the weakest pea hat to the strongest dark nut, and in the middle there was a huge moblin easily 9 ft tall. I knew it was the leader since there was so many weapons lain down by his feet, and when he spoke every eye was on him. He spoke ancient hylian, which I knew very little but from what I heard was something like this… fellow followers of Ganondorf we are here for one reason… the destruction of Link! Immense roaring, and shouts of approval followed this. When things quieted down the Great Moblin continued, we now have the strength, and numbers to defeat them, on the night of the full moon we will attack, and smite all of Windfall Island. However that’s not all we’ll do, we will spread destruction to all the Great Sea. I started to back away when a branch snapped. Suddenly a spotlight was shone on me, and all the forces of Hell were on my heels. We managed to lose them in the mist but the full moons only 3 nights away. {End flashback} Now the assembly was moaning occasionally dropping a were doomed. Without warning Link jumped up, and shouted stop crying you big babies! I’ve been in tight spots before but I always got out of them. This is no different! Link’s right shouted prince Komali, he’s always been there for us now it’s our turn!! Several agreements were shouted across the room. So, said Link let’s get to work.
Preparation

Much was accomplished over the next 3 days. T he Bomb shop was turned into a canon under the supervision of Canon, and Salvatore. The Light House was transformed into a sniping post for archers. All entrances were sealed turning Windfall into a Fortress. Lastly a call to arms went out all over the Great Sea. Responses were uncountable. In total there were 50,000 Hylians, 40,000 Ritos, and finally 10,000 koroks. They held a meeting on the 3’rd day, and decided that the koroks would plant Boko-Baba seeds as traps; the Hylians would divide up into berserkers with Link leading them, and archers. The Raito’s would drop bombs on enemies as they flew past lead by Prince Komali. Finally Zunari managed to round up 30,000 horses. This was it.
Siege

The day was dark, stormy, and monotonous. There was no sunshine, or signs of life anywhere. No seagulls could be heard squawking, no scuttling of crabs, every living thing seemed to be holding their breath. The siege began at 7 a.m. It started when the first ship came into view. The war cries could be heard for miles. They were low, and eerie like tortured spirits. Link started giving orders, there were archers scrambling into positions in the Light House, and on the wall where the people could see the archway. Get ready, screamed Link to the archers, Hold steady; the Great Moblins ships were coming within range… Fire, screamed Link!!!


7 a.m. Great Moblins battle ship
The Great Moblin was in an exceptionally good mood. The Island had no clue they would be slaughtered, and that pirate girl so what that ship was probably at the bottom of the ocean. Suddenly the Great Moblin was knocked from his daydream by a sudden explosion. The Great Moblin picked himself off the floor in time to see a whimpering bookoblin rush in. Statuses report you sniveling coward roared the Great Moblin. One of our ships was blown to smithereens sir the bookoblin whimpered. What the Great Moblin slammed his fist into the table situated in the center of the room. That girl must have gotten word to them, can’t be helped rally the men tell them to take no prisoners, the Great Moblin mumbled. Yes sir… r-r-right away sir the bookoblin was about to wet himself. Oh, and one more thing said the GM, Link is mine. Yes sir the bb said quickly getting out of his leaders way, some times I’m more scared of him then the Hylians thought the bookoblin.


Windfall Island: Front Lines 7:38 a.m.
The battle was starting to heat up for Link. The enemy was starting to land, and if they took the cannon they were dead meat. Suddenly a lantern soared over the wall. It went off like a Molotov cocktail. The lanterns are filled with fire Kesse shouted Link. A few women scrambled out to put out the fire. Link yelled to the archers focus on keeping the cannon safe, switch to normal arrows, fire arrows might set the gunpowder off! The boko-baba - seeds were being hacked to pieces by Darknuts. Link swore, troops charge he yelled, and they galloped out on their horses swarming the on coming enemy. Meanwhile the Ritos were destroying most of the ships, Keep in formation, yelled Komali over the explosions. Just then something swooped by, it looked like a bird but had tail feathers of a phoenix. Kagarocs, shouted Komali pull back, pull back.
Main Canon 8 a.m.
Hurry up yelled cannon the bomb maker. Hurry up you little walking sticks. The Koroks were helping load the canon. Target in sight yelled Salvatore, next Target acquired. Cannon heard a sizzling sound, and looked down the gunpowder’s on fire he yelled right before he was blown to a million pieces, along with Salvatore, and the Koroks.
Great Moblins armory 8:25 am

The GM was in a great mood. He destroyed the canon, and now they were gaining ground. The GM was in jet-black, Armour, and wearing a war helmet that was made for the recently deceased Ganondorf. He outfitted himself with a sword that was rumored, to have been used by Satan himself. Then he finished it all off with a mythril shield. Come Link thought the Great Moblin, the hour of doom is at hand. {Cue maniacal laughter.}
Hylian Front Lines: 9:00 A.M.

Things were growing worse for Link. The Ritos were being swarmed by Kagarocs, and Valoo wouldn’t be here for another 20 minutes. Suddenly a massive explosion knocked everyone to their feet. Link scrambled up to see a huge crater where the bomb shop had been. Strangely enough the noises of battle faded away, and he heard the sound of Aryll’s voice… HEEELP Big Brother! Link looked up, and everything seemed to slow down. A huge Moblin was holding Aryll off the ground by the throat. Then he plunged his Hell-forged sword through Aryll’s heart. Nooooooo screamed Link. He rushed over to Aryll’s dying body, as she whispered her last words I love you big brother. How could you whispered Link. The Great Moblin merely grinned, and said Come Link face me like a man. Damn you screamed Link as he rushed through swarms of enemies, like a lawnmower through grass.


Vengeance
Link, and the Great Moblin rushed to meet each other in battle, their swords clashed against each other. One warrior had the desire to spread fear, and destruction to the ends of the earth, the other had only two things on his mind vengeance, and a burning hatred. Thus the battle of the century began. Link attacked with a jumping slash. The Great Moblin blocked it with his mythril shield, and countered with a jab towards Links head. Link performed a counter-jump attack, breaking through the GM’s helmet. Blood was running down the Great Moblins face. He let out an enraged roar, and charged Link. Link had no time to move out of the way, and barely got his mirror shield up in time. Link felt the impact, and it felt like a ton of bricks even with the mirror shield. Link was sent hurling through the wall, through Zunari’ s shop, and into Salvatore’s shop wall. Link was getting a little dizzy but shook it off. The Great Moblin was charging towards him. If I get hit again thought Link I’m history. Link pulled out his hook shot, and fired into the sign above Zunari’ s shop, then to the top of the ladder behind Salvatore’ s shop. Then the Great Moblin crashed into the brick wall where Link used to be.
Damn thought the Great Moblin, he was seeing stars, and was really starting to feel the slashes covering his body. {Dumber creatures take longer to feel pain.} I feel like I was stampeded over by Molgera he mumbled. That’s not all you’ll be feeling be feeling you murderer said a distant sounding voice then he felt a searing pain in his heart.
Link had unloaded a light arrow into the Great Moblins heart. Then suddenly he ripped it out with green blood steadily coming out of the hole in his heart. Link jumped down performing the attack he’d used to finish off Gannon on the GM’s shield instantly smashing it to pieces. Link started forcing the Great Moblin back to the edge of the cliff where Tot used to dance. The Moblin was backed up to the edge of the cliff. He looked down, and saw his army was down to 3 Darknuts. He looked up, and pleaded Link don’ t kill me. Link had no signs of mercy in his eyes, and continued to advance. Link was upon the Great Moblin, and knocked him off the cliff with the Great Moblin barely catching the edge of the cliff. Then the GM begged, please one last wish. Ok said Link, I wish you would go to Hell, and tell Gannon you failed then he swung the Master Sword through the Great Moblins fingers, and he slowly fell into the ocean. This alone did not kill him but soon Gyorgs came, and tore him to pieces. Finally the battle was over.


Aftermath
When the army had reassembled, and counted up the dead, the army of 1,300,000 was reduced to 70,000 with almost all the koroks, and horses dead, 19,968, and the rest were Ritos. The Great Sea was saved but at what cost? Go on ->
Sunday 8 a.m.

A tombstone was placed in front of the cliff where the Great Moblin died. However this was not for him oh no. A single figure in green could be seen placing flowers down in front of the grave, and walking away. Who was this grave made for? Here’s what it said.

HERE LIES ARYLL FROM FEBUARY 18 2001 TO SEPTEMBER 26 2004.

The End
