This is the first installment in my oneshot series. For now I'm gonna use one quote and make a short story out of it. The stories can be about anything. No fluff, because I can't write it, at least not intentionally. There might be some, though. There can be death, violence or gore, too. Me being a girl who is both a hopeless romantic and a bloodthirsty maniac, you can expect almost anything.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Everything is Nintendo's. Don't sue me, I have no money.
"Better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all."
- St. Augustine
I know there is no such thing as a perfect human being, but she is damn close.
She is simply gorgeous. Her brown hair is like silk. The way it frames her eyes makes my heartbeat quicken. Those eyes. Her eyes are the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. So beautiful, so gentle, so captivating.
Some say that looks are only skin deep. In her case it's a lie. She's beautiful on the inside as well. She is the nicest person I've ever met. She isn't all stuck up like most girls of her stature. She shows sympathy towards even the lowest thieving street rat. She gives money to every single beggar she sees. Oh, did I mention she's a princess?
And even if being beautiful and nice wasn't enough, she's also smart. Very smart. Well, she should be. She has the Triforce of Wisdom, after all.
With she being all that, it's no wonder that I fell in love with her. I, a lowly goat herder from Ordon Province, in love with the princess? Well, I'm more than just a ranch hand. I'm the Chosen Hero. Or used to be. There has been no need for a hero for two years.
Has it really been two years since Hyrule was covered in twilight? Two years since Ganondorf was defeated? Two years since my adventure?
Anyway, it's too late now. She is getting married to a prince from a neighboring kingdom. I don't know if she loves him or not, but it doesn't matter anymore. It's too late.
I have loved her and lost her, but it's better than never have loved at all.
She may not love me, or even like me, but I will always love her. Til the end of my days.
