HAI. I know I have Intricate to be working on, but me and a friend did an RP and we decided to turn it into a fanfiction. I was Ghirahim. Think about THAT. This is… THIS is going to be interesting.

Enjoy!


Lonely

I've observed the child for a while now… He seems quite intriguing, this boy… I feel rather compelled to move forward… but I shouldn't. It's too simple that way. My entrance must be more… extravagant. I caught a glimpse of him earlier in the shallows of Faron Woods, and I became fascinated. Humans were supposed to stay where they belonged: In the Sky. Yet here he was, equipped with a sword and shield, preparing his entrance to the deep woods.

He turns around as I misguidedly rustle some grass.

"Is somebody there?"

He doesn't seem to be much of a threat to my mission, but I should make sure… just not here. I'll observe from afar. However, I find myself with an inner conflict. I'm at war with my decisions. Confront the boy, or wait? Hmm…

I want to get closer, to say the least. I lightly snap my fingers, sending myself to teleport behind a mushroom much closer to him. He turns around entirely, possibly spotting my diamond trail. He leaps down from the ledge he stands on and calls a being of some sort.

"Fi."

"Yes, Master Link?"

"Analyze the current area."

"…Another being appears to be sensed within your vicinity."

I believe he has noticed me, but you can never be too sure. Perhaps a mere glimpse? But I'm positive that this has driven his curiosity to the edge. Wait… That's a sword spirit. Then that concludes to be the Goddess Sword! This is the Chosen Hero?

"Well, Fi, that just makes my journey a whole lot more comforting… At least tell me if they're friendly."

"Master, due to insufficient data, I cannot form a conclusion."

"Do you have a guess?"

"Due to insufficient data-"

"Thanks… But it's alright."

"You're welcome, Master."

She disappears into the sword without hesitation. I'm still left with my inner conflicts. I wish to meet the boy in person, but I cannot simply turn around and say hello. That's much too easy for my taste. But, what if it's so easy, that it's…not? I am satisfied and I disappear from sight, leaving another array of diamonds behind me. I figured that I would follow him. If he enters the temple, I know he's after the Spirit Maiden. If he wanders back to wherever he came from, I'll know he was innocent to my plot.

What? He's sleeping. He's sleeping in a circle of soil. I assumed he had a decent home, yet here he is, sleeping in the dirt. Filthy. However, I feel that it is alright to approach him while he's in this vulnerable state. He has set down his weapon, making it easier to deal with him if he strikes back.

"Ghirahim, you better not take too long with this… You have more important things to do."

Before I can finish my thoughts, he's fast asleep. I'm shocked at how fast humans can fall into deep rest It's almost equivalent to hibernation. Odd.

I tiptoe carefully until I am in front of him. I notice quite easily that his hat is falling off, and it bothers me. I readjust it on his head, feeling like he was more organized afterward. I take a cautious step back when he rolls onto his side. I hope I didn't look to unprofessional. I want to see his face clearer, and I will have it that way. I don't mean to dirty my clothes, so I sit on the ground carefully, lifting my cape and placing myself gently on the dirt floor. I feel disgusting.

"Cold…"

I push myself back a bit. "Did… did he just talk in his sleep? Laughable. But he looks cold. What if he ends up useful to me? He can't die."

I do not wish to put myself next to the child, I'm not that insecure. I do have a choice…

He groans lightly, shifting onto one side, and then the other, clearly unable to find the warmth of his bed in the dirt.

"Zel…da…"

What? What did he just say?

"Zelda… I love…"

So he is looking for the Goddess. He may be valuable. I suppose then I have to choose my second choice. I push myself towards him, sitting in the dirt, cross-legged.

"I love you… No. Where…"

He's squirming a bit and ends up lying face down.

"Don't leave…"

He's dreaming about the Spirit Maiden. I nonchalantly flip him over onto his back to make breathing easier and accomplishable. He emits a contented sigh and reaches over a bit with his hand. I suppose he wants someone near him. Perhaps if I earn his trust, he'll lead me directly to my prize. I lie down near the child, feeling him bump into me. I am wary, but he thankfully stays asleep. I wish I knew what he wanted, that would make this so much easier.

He dreams quite fondly of the Goddess. Manipulation might come in handy.

He rolls over onto my chest, making me a bit uneasy. I stay calm, however, not wishing to wake him. He's using me as a personal pillow; I feel ridiculous. I steady my breathing a bit more than usual, trying to stimulate a content awakening.

He stretches a bit in his sleep, yawning and lifting his head. He's close to waking. When I said those things, I didn't mean for them to happen now! Manipulation seems to be the only option. I whisper closely to his ear, "Link…"

His eyes open a bit more, but he's not to full consciousness yet.

"You should rest a bit more… you must be tired from all the work you've had to do…"

He mumbles something, "Zelda…?"

I ignore him, and he lies back down. I was relieved until he lifted his head once more and sat up. He turned to look to the left and noticed me. He looked at me with wide eyes before fearfully asking, "Who are you?"

I immediately snapped and disappeared.

Now the boy has knowledge of me. I must confront him again. I will follow him into the Temple. I'm angry now. I should've known better than to give a mere child such attention. My plans haven't been working out the way I want them too. None of them have.


There is chapter one. There are 4 more chapters to come, so stay tuned!
