Linkle ground her teeth together, her arms shuddering as she held her crossbows in the air. She wanted, no, she needed to help her father. But- what if she failed. So much for being a hero. It wouldn't do her much good to end up like her brother... Tears pricked her eyes, torn between saving the living, breathing, only family she had left in front of her, or running away with the others and hoping the other half of her family was actually still alive. It was a hard decision, one Linkle had not been prepared to make, nor ever have to expect to make. Sure, she knew her father would never always be by her side, but now that it was becoming reality...
The girl made her choice. Digging her heal into the ground, she turned tail and sprinted. She had to get out of this town, she had to be the hero everyone needed. She would defeat whatever evil she found across the land, she would head to the heart of the beast and end it all. She'd do it for Link. For her father. She'd save them, she'll save everyone! And she won't be able to do that from a prison cell. So she ran, her feet pounding against the ground as she barely slipped into the escape tunnel, following the memorized path blindly.
