"I must ask….Do you really remember me? Her voice shot through me like a spear thrown from the sky. I did not, I tried recollecting my memories with no avail. All I knew is that I was supposed to be here, that this.. was my fate. Everyone whom I met had been waiting for me, telling me to save her, and the voice; her voice was so familiar, seeing her stand in front of me now, she was a total stranger.
She stared at me for a long time, before she looked at the ground. The glow in her eyes, had been drained immediately like I just shattered all she hoped. My mind filled with guilt.
"I see.." she said quietly "Link, I-I know this...This is all unfamiliar"
I put my hand up "stop" She looked at me like she had never heard me speak like that before. "I don't need another explanation" She got closer to me and looked at me in the eyes. I felt uncomfortable how her eyes gazed on me. "Then, let's be off" she walked by me and started to head away from the castle, I ran up behind her.
I wondered where we going. I wasn't sure of anything now. I had a sense of purpose which was accomplished the moment Ganon was sealed away. I put my hand on my head. I can't remember anything. It hadn't bothered me until now, I was so focused on what had to be done, and what everyone was counting on including her. I thought if i saw her, it would all come back to me. Even the champions, It was so strange to think we were all close. I felt like I had landed into a new world, Nothing but my destiny was clear. No one, would tell me much of anything but my duty to the princess, and Hyrule.
"We need to head to kakariko village first, I know Impa is waiting for us."She stood next to my horse rubbing his nose "And what shall I be calling this one?" she turned to me smiling. I hadn't named him. Didn't even think too. She turned to me again less then smiling now "Well? He doesn't even have a name?" I shook my head. She let out an irritated sigh and
turned back to the horse. "Than I shall name him" she pressed her finger on her lips "Let call him Kite" she pet his nose and began patting the dirt off his fur. I shrugged. She looked at me "Come on let's go" I hopped on kite and helped her up. She wrapped her arms around me. I almost jumped no one had touched me, at least in 100 years not that I could remember. I felt a small drip of sweat on my forehead and wiped it off as quickly as the sudden anxiety I felt.
We rode off to kakariko village. The wind had picked up some which were signs a storm was coming. We arrived just as the rain started to drizzle, I took kite to a small graze just outside the town. Zelda had immediately ran into Impa's house. I took a deep breath and gave kite an apple from the traver sack. Looking at the house the candle lights dimming through the paper windows I had no idea what is to come now. I slowly walked up the steps.
"With hyrule saved by Link, we can begin preparations to rebuild hyrule" Zelda say aloud "But first we must rejoin the Hylians with the other tribes in Hyrule" Impa smiled as I walked in "ahh, and here he is" she patted her knee "come here link, we have much to talk about" I walked towards them. "Link, you are the soul hope to hyrule, and Zelda is the light" She smiled again "Both of you must work together now to fix what is in ruin"
I nodded. I did agree this was my home, and I've come to love it, the long trips to each Divine beasts. Hyrule, was breathtaking. "However" she frowned "Link, I had asked you to try to use the sheikah slate to recollect those memories...had you not done as I asked?" I looked at her I didn't say a word, the guilt filled me again, I wanted to tell her about what I had wished happened. But she was right, she had asked me to do so. She continue to wait for a response. Zelda was appearing to be on the edge of her seat for whatever answer she could get from me. "No" I mumbled. Impa leaned back "No, you say?" she turned to Zelda "My dear Zelda….it is very important that he remembers who he is, and those he cared for." She looked down, frowning "If he does not" she looked at me. She shook her head "You must uncover those memories" Zelda looked at me, "yes...yes we do, I plan to help him" Impa patted her hand. I looked at them both. As much as I wanted to remember, I didn't want to be forced, I might not remember, I would disappoint them both. Zelda tilted her head "Link, you must be tired? or hungry I'm certain!" I gave her a hard look "no" I said I could feel them both watch me as I headed to the Inn across the road. I need to think, I needed to really think. Though the inn isnt private I supposed with the rain it'd be best option for the night. I took my tunic off and my boots. The master sword I pulled and put in my hands "My purpose….I was the hope…" I leaned back into the bed "he needs to remember.." Impas words dug into me like hot nails "I am, a knight...and I am to do what they ask of me...for hyrule..but...what is it I want" I leaned the master sword against the small wooden table next to the bed. "Why are they so eagerly for me to remember, what exactly will happen if I don't?" And got under the blankets and listened to the rain hitting the the ceiling
..What if i disappoint them..
