  He Had Awakened! Kedo!

  Kedo opened his eyes. His head lying on the ground, his eyes pointed in the direction of his hand, which had been lying in front of his face. The hand twitched. It twitched again. It slowly began to move up from the floor into the air. The floor of several dark brown bricks, which his motionless body he had been lying down upon. Kedo let out a small moan and hit the floor with his open palm. Pressing the hand against the floor, he lifted his body up, until he was on his knees.
  Kedo looked around. He was in a small room. In three directions were walls of the same bricks as the floor, along with the ceiling. Right in front of him, instead of the same wall, were silver iron bars blocking the outside world from his reach. There was a door in the bars, but it was locked from the outside with a large silver lock. Keno looked outside the cell he was in, looking at more brick walls. There was a window that was letting light shine into the darkened room. It permitted him to see several boxes outside of his cell, and a door to his left. Above the door hung a decorated skull pierced by an arrow. Outside there were noises, two women were talking to each other about a recent group of soldiers that had been captured in the Gerudos war with the Hylains. There were six of them. One of which was Kedo.
  Kedo's chain mail, helmet, and armor had protected his body from most of the damage he had received when he resisted capture, but a whach to his unprotected neck by another Gerudo had went right through the defense. While unconscious, he had been caried into the cell he was in and trapped there. It's even possible they wanted to let him die in his prison. His prison within the Gerudo Fortress
  A noise quickly but quietly echoed throughout the room, followed by a thud. Kedo looked outside his cell door undetected to see a woman with long red hair and a Gerudo jewel on her forehead tied in ropes fall onto the floor. A cloth, preventing her cries for help, covered her mouth. Next to her lay two curved swords, the ones she would use should Kedo have escaped. What had caught Kedo's attention, however, was not the defeated Gerudo Thief, but the one standing next to her. A figure wearing a brown robe, which was litter than the brown bricks around him, was standing right next to her. The edges of his robe had been jagged throughout the ages it had seen.
  The figure bent down and put his hand through an opening in the rope and took something out. A key. The Key to the cell in the room. The key to the cell Kedo was in. Slowly the robed man turned around and walked towards his cell door. Putting the key into the lock, the robed man unlocked the prison, and the door lifted above the ground, freeing Kedo. The figure looked into the cell through the door and gave a short stare at Kedo, before turning away and walking out the door with the skull above it.
  Quickly, Kedo went through his cell door to follow the one who freed him, but when he turned to enter the door that the robed man entered, all the was there was a tunnel to another part of the fortress and the robe of his rescuer, left laying on the floor.
  Kedo, however, quickly realized that he had no time to worry about the  man who opened his cell door, however, he had to worry about one thing. Escaping the fortress with his companions alive.
