Bokoblins: A Short Story
It was an arctic morning when Link Ryan's, a boy only seventeen, awoke engulfed in a pain that permeated throughout his body and left him breathless. Wincing in pain, the boy tried to hoist himself out of the low bed he had found himself in but it was to no avail. With a loud crash, that alerted the entire household that the once sleeping Link was now conscious, he fell to the ground landing sorely on his knees.

After his mother has administered some much-needed painkillers Link could finally get out of his bed without wincing or falling to the ground. It was a relief because he knew his physical for the tournament was today. He wasn't sure how he was going to explain to the doctor on duty how he got all of his wounds but, I didn't matter because hopefully if was lucky Link wouldn't have to take part in that goddamned spectacle. But it seemed Link was not a lucky person. After his mother made sure there was absolutely nothing life threating about any of his injuries, Link was forced to haphazardly limp his way to the doctor’s office where the physical was held. When he got here it was much to his dismay to at least sixty people waiting in line to see the
