Missing Inheritances
Graceful paces, silent steps.
The townspeople of Castle Town were all in a rush when they weren't gossiping. A cloaked figure took in everything about one subject, the Hero of Time. News had been travelling that he had returned from his trip around and out of Hyrule. Making silent pace towards the castle, the cloaked figure walked along the dirt path towards the gate, where it was stopped by the gatesman. It simply handed him a letter, which he read in surprise.
"So someone survived…" He muttered as he opened the gate, allowing the cloaked figure to continue up the path.
It entered through the main doors, to be greeted by a servant. It turned down all his offers politely, knowing the castle off by heart. It's only request was to be taken to the throne room, where it knew Princess Zelda was, with the Hero of Time and Six Sages.
Link let out a laugh, shaking his head. A blue light shone from his shoulder, but upon closer look, revealed to be a three inch tall girl with blue hair, glowing blue skin, and blue clothing, and wings, a fairy. He was sitting at the stairs to the platform where the throne sat. Zelda sitting beside him.
"Nah, Saria. I didn't spend all that time searching for Navi." He looked at the green haired girl who looked about ten who was sitting near by, a green light glowing from her shoulder, another fairy. "I think I spent most of it… or at least that's what it felt like for me… repeating three days over… and over… and over… and over again." The girl let out a laugh at that.
"Sounds confusing…" A dessert-dwelling lady shook her head, red hair flicking as she did so… She stood a step away from the stairs, beside a ninja looking lady.
"I take it the Ocarina of Time proved helpful, then?" The ninja asked. Link nodded.
"So, brother, how many places beyond Hyrule did you visit?" A large rock-like man, a Goron, asked him. Link shook his head.
"I didn't count."
"That sounds like Link." A fish-girl grinned. Saria let out a moan. Link was about to open his mouth to speak, when the doors opened, and everyone shot to their feet, looking at a blond haired woman wearing a hooded cloak, hood down. She appeared to be in her mid-thirties to forty, her hair reaching all the way down her back. It was in three braids, a large one down her back, and two small ones on either side of her head, which were pulled back and tied together behind her head like a circlet. She looked over at them, and smiled.
"So the hero has returned home." She closed her eyes. The ninja lady blinked in confusion, an expression that rarely met her emotionless face.
"You… survived? But… everyone who fought or fled were killed… you died in what was then known as the Forbidden Woods…" She was obviously confused.
"I realise that. My family supposedly died on that day as well." A sad smile met the woman's face. "Only my husband did though… my son…"
