Heading home

Asleep he lay, in a far off land of dreams….
Flashback"You're leaving, aren't you?" She said downcast but at the same time trying to sound brave.
The young boy said nothing only gave a sad look that could only mean one thing that was "Sorry, I have to."
Fighting back tears the young maiden of the forest said "That's ok because I know we will always be fiends." She blinked, shuffled and held out her ocarina. "Please take this with you, and take care its my most prized possession, when you play it think of me and come back some day." Her blue eyes were no longer in a war against tears, for they had gone. Her green hair swayed in the light breeze of that perfect summers day. For a moment there was silence deep as the forest, but it meant something, it was sincere. The girl frowned for a second but as the boy reached out her face brightened slightly, and she thought. "I just told the biggest lie I will ever tell, my ocarina is not my most prized possession its you." Breathing a sigh of relief that he had taken it she said. "Promise that you will come back." For the first time he spoke his voice was soft like the wind. "Ok I promise you that I will try and when I do return it will be for good." He turned to leave. "Thank you" she blurted out. He turned and ran to her, she was shocked as he embraced her tightly she returned the hug after the initial shock, but it was what came next that left her stunned. "I will never forget you, EVER!! Nor will I forget my promise." As he said this he wept, turned and ran leaving her. She felt her shoulder damp from his tears and she turned and ran to her home where she would spend the next day crying.
End of flashback
"Link, LINK!!!!" Navi said "WAKE UP!!!!!" saying this he flew straight at Link's head knocking his hat off as he slept in the shade of a giant oak tree. He awoke with a start. "Navi, what did you do that for? I was dreaming about…her again" Link blushed at this last statement. "Firstly, because its time to go say good bye to Zelda and secondly, because I am tired of you dreaming of Saria all the time, lets go home." Navi said this while flying around Links head. Link suddenly stopped and turned to the fairy asking. "Are you telepathic?"
"No" said Navi who started to hover "Why?" "Because that's where I am going after I say bye to Zelda." Said Link in a matter of fact tone.
Link with his little fairy Navi flew to the castle where Princess Zelda sat upon her thrown next to her father and mother the King & Queen of Hyrule.
"…And that is my decision, I have finished my quest and I have yet to fulfil my true destiny, that which lies in my heart." Link was on one knee as he spoke and saw Princess Zelda smile at him. The King of Hyrule spoke "Very well if that's what you have decided, I only wish that we could repay you for saving us, our daughter and all of Hyrule." Link looked up at the King "My lord if I may be allowed to speak freely?" The King smiled. "You have but to ask and you will always be allowed." "I think…" Started Link. "That allowing me to leave quietly would suit my purposes and that I would take as repayment."
Once he had finished saying this, Link stood up, bowed and walked up to the Princess Zelda. "It was an honour to save you, and I would gladly do it again." Link kissed her hand and ran out of the Castle. Princess Zelda was left with a light blush of crimson on her cheeks. Her father chuckled. "A true hero he gives without any thought of reward, but still manages to create mischief."
Link was met outside the palace gates by a great crowd all-cheering for the hero of Hyrule. "So much for a quiet exit" Link and Navi sighed. "Shall we give them what they want little buddy?" Link asked Navi. "I some how think that would be the nicest thing to do, don't you?" Navi replied. "Ok then" Link said before calling his horse Epona. Link jumped from the top step of the palace gates into the saddle. Pulling out his Master sword he yelled, "Hyrule will be forever free!!" This really got the crowd going cheering for him and as he reared Epona they parted for him and he galloped out of the city.
It was nearing dusk when Link galloped in on Epona arriving outside the font door of the Lon Lon Ranch. As Link jumped down Malon, her father Talon and Ingo came running out to meet him.
"I told you he would be back Malon" Talon said to his daughter. "And a hero no less" finished Ingo. Link spent the evening there in the farm house at the Lon Lon Ranch and after supper he said I am sorry but I have to be going. "You sure you want to be doing that laddie?" Ingo said. "A storm is coming and I ain't never wrong about storms you know." Ingo smiled at this in all his years when he predicted a storm he had never once been wrong. "Thanks Ingo but I should be ok." Said Link. "After all I am heading into Kokiri forest to my old home, and I should be back before the storm hits right old friend?" Link tilted his head side ways asking this. "You might, and you might not I don't know." Ingo was thinking hard. "Do what you want but just you take care ya hear." Ingo smiled again. "I will do my best." Link smiled back.
Outside the door of the ranch he called Epona again and was waved off by his friends. As he entered the forest the storm broke, it would be a foul night. All Link could think of was Saria, the one he cared about most, and how he knew she would hate tonight as she was afraid of storms. "Heh she won't hate this stormy night" Link thought. "Hang on Saria I am coming home to you!!" He yelled.
But at that moment some lightening hit a tree near by and a large branch fell on him so that it knocked him off Epona and on to the floor. The branch was still on top of him when he hit the floor. He was thinking of how close he was to Saria as everything went pitch black.
