All the Winged Howlers and Misamier chased after Link. The ruins of the sentinel's cabin were suddenly silent. It was silent as death until one hour later when a hesitant bird started calling.
Crack. The crack of wood sounded abruptly. A wooden board in the ruins suddenly cracked, and a dirty little hand reached out.
The commotion scared the bird that thought everything was over. It snuck back in fright.
The little hand reached around on the board and clung onto something. With a big push, a small hole appeared in the board. What followed immediately after was the muzzle of the musket.
After a while, a little girl climbed out from the hole. Her hair and face were all streaked with dirt. Her leg seemed hurt too, and she had to walk.
It was Melinda, the Yabba woman who had hid in the cellar.
