It appears here a day before the Nintendo Fan Fiction union. But that will change soon. So Join to see future chapters!
After reading up on everything he could about the continents beyond his, Link had become confident enough to search the land beyond the fog of the Zoran Channel.
"One ticket to Central Archipelago please" Link asked the men standing at the end of the public pier.
He hand over the rupees to the man on the right and stepped onto the large merchant vessel.
He stood on the side of the boats walkways as busy sailors rushed to and fro.
"Ye look a tad flustered mate" A voice loudly called, startling him.
Link turned around to see a man, his rough exterior immediately made him think of a veteran sailor, but he was much too young.
He then noticed the scabbard on his right side and stereotypical beard. He was a sea dweller. No pirate, but a man of sea combat and knowledge.
"What if I am" Link replied in a casual fashion.
"Ye don't need to be shy, most of you Hyrilian young'uns aren't familiar to the world outside your precious lands"
Link was startled and angry by the assumption Hyrilians were not commercialised and ancient.
"Its just daunting, that's all" He replied sounding more honest.
"It sinks in, there ain't anyone round here who wasn't startled at first, don't worry, I'll stick by you, call me Jagga, and Jackson Miller around any o' those upper ****pansies" Jagga replied.
While Link was not expecting to gain some unwanted luggage so early on his trip he wasn't going to turn someone so well informed at first sight despite them being rugged and unhygienic.
Over the next couple of days Link and Jagga grew relatively close, exchanging information and experiences.
"There is political unrest in the Haith region right now, there is a lot of rebellion and riots in the nation, the capital has been under-siege by unions. Deerlik is in economic prosperity, and they are said to be the reason Haith is in so much trouble, Deerlik has always been the underdog, and that is changing.
While Coorin is only very lightly populated, but it is in the midst of a revolution" Jagga summarised the detail descriptions over the past 2 days as the Central Archipelago came into sight.
Link had decided to keep Jagga in tow for a while, as while illiterate he was smart, real smart.
"So you've told me about everything, but what of the central archipelago?" Link asked.
Jagga sighed.
"It's a trading capital, but it's the neutral spot of our world. No one will attack it, every nation has part of their fleet there. There are whole islands for certain commodities, nations or companies. It's the beating heart that we need to survive, even pirates need it, why without it, there wont be anything to steal" Jagga explained as seriously as possible.
The Central Archipelago seemed to be the most daunting of all, even though it had no supreme ruler, it seemed to need to run like clock work, and such a large duty meant determination and absolute tenacity.
Link had much to thank Jagga for, not only because he had now been told what state the world was in, and how to survive in it. But he had gained, an unbelievably vital thing. A friend.
