YUP PEOPLE ITS TWILIGHT PRINCESS

Chapter One: The Important Task

This is the first time I write a personal diary, I have no idea why I am doing this but, I feel like writing and expressing my emotions in this journal. I have the freedom to write anything I want in this journal, like no one will read and know my secrets. So now on, I will write everything about my simple and boring life. Yes I am 17, I am Hylian, actually the only one in my village. I never met my real parents, instead Rusl and Uli took care of me. I don't know why I have this birth mark on my left hand and what it means. I want to know who am I and my destiny in this world. I want to be useful, not just a simple person. My best friend, Ilia thinks I am special, just because I'm Hylian and the children admire me, but I don't think it's enough to be so special. I love Ilia like a sister since childhood. She will always be my best friend no matter what happens and it won't change. What else can I say about her?

Today In the morning, I went to the ranch and took Epona with me. Fado was furious because I was late. He may be a hothead sometimes especially if I'm untimely. There wasn't too much to do except to make sure that the goats don't escape from their pens. For Nayru… It was so boring taking care of them. Usually I work hard with lots of energy but today, simply isn't my day.

I relaxed outside, enjoying the warm environment and the sweet smell of hay. The sunlight was beaming bright and birds sang gorgeously making me feel calm and satisfying. After I napped for about an hour, I didn't felt like doing anything, my body felt heavier and I was having a hard time to get up. I didn't want to get up but I had to… Suddenly Fado called me, I was already up and I walked slowly with all the patients that I had.

"Link, the mayor wants to talk with you." Said Rusl in a serious tone. When he mentioned about the mayor, I was getting worried, the first thing in my mind was Ilia. Her safety… All these negative thoughts ran through my head.

"Its not bad news. It's a… He will explain everything, just come with me." I was curious to know what the mayor wanted. So I followed him…

Mayors House "Link my boy!" Greeted the mayor. He hugged me tightly, patted my back so hard that I needed some air and he grins joyfully. This was freaking me out. I wasn't sure if I was excited or worried, it's just that I was feeling odd. Ilia was standing next to her father and sweetly smiled at me, I smiled back.

"I am going to give you a very, very, very important task Link." He paused "Rusl can't do it because Uli is pregnant and he chose you to replace him to complete this task." Explained Bo. At this moment I didn't know what was I thinking or feeling. My mind was thoughtless and there was silence. This task sounds like an adventure. Yes! Finally I have an awesome adventure and explore the world of Hyrule, my mind was sure and I smiled brightly. The answer was on my head but before I say it, I need to ask, when, where and what. Rusl laughs and smirks at me like if he was going to make things up. Ilia handed over a powerful, well-made sword.

"You must deliver this sword to the royal family of Hyrule as a gift. You must leave a day after tomorrow so it can be delivered in time." The Royal Family! I was so shock but this doesn't stop me. I wonder why the mayor wants to give something to the Royal Family.

"Do you accept?" when I heard the question I didn't need to think about it. Three letters, yes! Meeting people, places, knowing culture and exploring Hyrule was a dream ready to come true. I smiled happily trying to show off my perfect smile.

Somewhere in Faron woods Hours later, me and Ilia walked in the woods, everything seems normal to me but Ilia says that these woods changed and soon it will affect the village. I laughed when she said that, sounds like danger. She hit me on the shoulder with all her strength and goddesses it hurt, I didn't saw that coming but oh well. Her attitude changed when I mentioned about the task, it made me feel uncomfortable when she's so serious. When she asked something, I started to day dream. I never thought that she was going to mentioned her, I don't know how she looks like but I hope what people say about her is true. The most beautiful young woman in Hyrule with great wisdom.

After Ilia went back to the village, Rusl cuts down lots of wooden sticks, while I picked them up and stacked them nicely. We knew that we had to hurry before it gets dark. Once that we had enough wood, he helped me lifting but poor Epona… Having to carry too much weight is exhausting. We stopped in front of the spring, sat down and simply enjoy nature.

"I knew I can trust you Link, I think you're old and mature enough to complete this task" I didn't know what to say… but at least I am happy to accept it.

"Tell me something… Do you ever feel strange sadness at dusk falls?" Sadness? Why would he say something like that?

"They say it's the only time when our world intersects with theirs…" Okay… What was he talking about? What other World? When he mentioned about the hours of twilight, sounds tormenting and confusing.

"You have… Never been to Hyrule right?" I answered with a shy and embarrassed no. Then he described about the kingdom of Hyrule.

"You should look upon it all with your eyes." Oh I will. The day after tomorrow…Hehehe.

Back in Ordon Village I relaxed for a while thinking about my grand task but Fados shouts, interrupted my thoughts. I looked at my window, the goats aren't listening to him lately, and he needed my help. I hurried down.

Epona was gone…

I found a note on the ground where Epona was.

"Hey Link, I took Epona with me, I'm at Ordon spring." Ilia

Ordon Spring Ilia washed Epona for me, I smiled and thanked her. She asked me to play the lovely melody for Epona, She neigh cheerfully and Ilia clapped happily. I asked her if she wanted a ride but she didn't accept. So I told her to take care and return before dark.

Ordon village After helping Fado with the goats, me and Epona hopped fences around the ranch. It was getting dark so I left the ranch and went to the mayor's house to see if Ilia was home. The children were still outside playing, everyone else were talking and taking care of their children. Before I knocked on the door, someone shouted my name

Its Malos and Talos Father, Jaggle. I smiled weakly and walked toward him.

"If you're looking for Ilia, you're losing your time." I told her to return before dark. It pisses me off when she doesn't listen. I thanked him and hopped on Epona quickly.

Ordon Spring I tried not to make noise and spied on her, I couldn't see well but it looks like she was making something. Accidently, I stepped on a stick, Ilia jumped and looked at her surroundings with fear on her face. I calmed her down and immediately, she hid the item on her bag. I tried not to argue with her but she didn't listened to me. Instead, she asked me to sit with her. I gazed at the stars and counted each one but I lost track while she was kicking her wet feet, making small splashes on the spring. Then she asked me something that puzzled me.

"Do you think that our friendship will change once you return?" She was waiting for an answer. A simple no wasn't enough… instead I asked why but no word… It was the first time I saw her blush, she gazed at my eyes, but her glance was different. It looked like she wanted to express something… odd. Her father surprised us. I told them good night before her father says something uncomfortable to me.

Home At this moment, I am writing. I am proud for starting to write a diary and it's a great start too. Going to sleep and I hope that tomorrow is more interesting then today.
