Silver woke up. He closed his eyes again because he simply not ready to wake up until Lucile, the crotchety old hag of an orphanage keeper came over and yelled in his face. "Silver, get up!" she screamed into his face. "All right, I'm up, I'm up" he mumbled sleepily. He got himself off of the cold mud of the bottom of Zora's Fountain. He looked over and saw that Melody was also. "Get your lazy sheikah behind up! The orphanage-keeper yelled again.
The reason for such rudeness toward Silver is quite simple. To his fellow Zora's with the exception of Melody, his one and only true friend, he was seen as a freak. He in fact, was a hybrid. His father was a Zora, while his mother was a Sheikah. He remembered his father quite well, he died when Silver was 5 years old. His mother died giving birth to him. He killed his mother. Silver thought about her constantly, he always wondered what she was like, was she kind, what she looked like.
Silver didn't exactly look like a Zora, there were little differences in his face that made him different, and he was always a little bit taller than everyone his age. Melody was different. Melody always was small, frail, and sickly in appearance. Melody however was incredibly intelligent. She was the best in class, and everybody knew it.
Silver looked over at Melody, his one and only true friend. Melody smiled at him feebly. "Well, Silver," she said sleepily. "We've better get Link, Jabu-Jabu, and Royce up." Link, Jabu-Jabu, and Royce were all younger, littler orphans at the orphanage who pretty much stayed to themselves. Because it was such a small number of children, the Orphanage-keeper had placed most of the responsibility into the hands of Silver and Melody.
Silver and Melody went over and shook the shoulders of the three little Zora's. They all mumbled sleepily and got up. They then went up to the top of their hole, and found 2 dead fish lying there for them to eat. That was there breakfast. Silver took one of the fish and ripped in half for the boys to share. Melody then took the other one and split it in half for her and Silver to feast on.
Such was the daily life for the 5 Zora orphans. They had each other to take care of, and they were seen as scum by their fellow Zora's. By the children at least. They all got up and swam to the surface of Zora's Fountain, and entered Zora's Domain. There exciting day was to begin at school, where they were the butt of the jokes by their fellow peers.
They entered the cavern that led to the throne room, where King Zora and Queen Zola sat inflating their already oversized egos. As they passed, Queen Zola nodded and smiled politely, while King Zora made no gesture at all. They walked down the staircases to the bottom into the warm, shallow water that was outside the entrance to Lake Hylia.
Their teacher, Linux, hadn't arrived yet. Silver and Melody sat near the front. From behind them, someone yelled: "Hey freakah and poindexter! When's the wedding date?" Such teasing was common for Silver and Melody who endured taunts of freakah, poindexter, getting married, being able to be knocked down by a wave, and being algae. All of this was common for those 2. They were used to it, and in all honesty, didn't really even care at this point.
The illustrious individual who had called out the rude comment was none other than Prince Zora, crown prince of the Zora's. The son of King Zora and Queen Zola. Heir to the throne, descendant of the Sage of Water, the Great Queen Ruto's grandson. Both he and his twin sister, Princess Ruto also went to school, and both enjoyed teasing Silver and Melody.
Following her return to Hyrule. Ruto, Sage of Water, Princess of the Zora's, came and became Queen. Her father, died shortly after the Evil King Ganondorf's defeat. She eventually got married, and a son, Zora, who would become the current King Zora, she watched him grow up, marry Zola, and eventually, she died. Zora became King and then, Zola laid her eggs and Prince Zora and Princess Ruto were born.
Because they were descendents of Ruto, the two royals held themselves high above everybody else. Especially Silver and Melody, just then, Linux the tutor came into the area, and began the lesson. Silver and Melody listened to him explain the lesson while time continued on.
That was the miserable life that Silver and Melody.
