So, El Lavador's a cokehead...that's NOTHING compared the secret revealed in this next chapter. Prepare yourselves, you readers!
Chapter Two – Some Place Named Hyrule
Ted scanned his world history class for friends. He recognized Bud Wig, who over the summer had supposedly vandalized the Fungi Town capitol building and paid the time. He also saw Yo Lyngrio, El Lavador’s sophomore apprentice, who was just as much of a cokehead as his overlord. He also spotted Kay Hold, who he had a crush on the previous year. Jay was also in the class, luckily, and Ted had obviously already spotted him. They sat together towards the back.
“What do you think world history will be like, Ted?”
“I don’t know,” Ted replied honestly, “I’m just glad we aren’t learning about the Mushroom Kingdom anymore. I know enough about Mario’s impact on our society for my head to explode!”
“I bet we’ll learn about some cool places.”
“Be quiet,” Mr. L. Son announced, “welcome to world history. We will be breaking across Mushroom borders to learn about lands you may or may not have heard of before.”
Some students fidgeted.
“Take some notes,” Mr. L. Son commanded, “I will be lecturing about Hyrule, a land almost completely across the globe from us, even though it's just islands now.”
The next hour Ted was captivated from stories about a hero of time, and some evil man named Gannondorf. He learned about tribes such as the Zoras and Dekus who inhabited different parts of Hyrule.
After all this amazement Mr. L. Son said, “Bell should be ringing in a few minutes, tomorrow we will continue and learn about the hero of winds.”
“That was cool,” exclaimed Ted, “let’s go, Jay.”
But Jay sat their motionless. His eyes read of confusion and wonder.
“Jay,” Ted pressed, “what on earth is wrong?”
“Link,” Jay whispered, “my Grandmother always talks about him. She says we’re decendants.”
Ted mused, “that means you’re…you’re Hyrulian!”
“Yeah, but it never meant anything to me when my parents told me. And that sword…”
“You mean the Master Sword?”
“It’s up in our attic.”
