Seeing all the others just fly around the spring without a care waiting on the young hero to snatch one us up...
Evvie, I was named by her, the Great Fairy. The one who ultimately aids the boy during his quests providing items useful to him. I've only seen him a couple of times to steal a couple of us fairies. Our tiny little selves don't do much except restore his life energy when he needs it most. He's so young but I've seen the courage and determination in his eyes. I sigh deeply, almost every one of the fairies inhabiting this island have been chosen by him to keep close, all except for me.
I float off to the side of the spring sitting on the edge with my tiny feet swinging freely, I heard that once a fairy revives someone they are to come back to the spring from where they were born to recharge. I sigh deeply, I know I want to believe such a thing but it's hard to know when you haven't experienced it for yourself. I fix my eyes on all the others and every now and then I would hear bits of their conversations about how the young lad was, how handsome or brave, and how close to death he was when he used them. Each one had a huge smile and blushed fiercely when mentioning him. How I long to be in their positions, but of the many times he has arrived here to our safe haven, he never seems to take note of me. He usually just walks up to the spring pulls out some spare bottles and catches those closest to him. Funny, now that I mention it I never seem to be near him when he visits.
"My child, what troubles you?" the Great Fairy spoke softly, "Do you await for his return?" I look up at her and see the kindness and gentleness in her white eyes, thinking of her words I feel pain in my fragile little heart. "I..." I began but trailed off, and gaze in the direction of where my sisters were. Laughing. Giggling. Smiling.
Cool hands pick me up from where I was, "Love, do not worry of him. There is a reason why you have yet to be taken," she whispered and caressed my cheek with a single finger, "You will one day be granted to be by his side, that day will come soon enough," A small smile spreads across my face, I stood on her palm and bow my head in respect. My tiny wings carry me to her and I plant a soft kiss on her forehead in appreciation. Great Fairy begins to slowly fade away leaving a light blue mist.
Alone again. Just me and my thoughts. I fly over to the edge of the spring again when suddenly a white figure descends from above. It's him. My heart races in hopes of him finally noticing me. I notice my sisters disappearing leaving one in the center. He looks around, eyes disoriented by the change in lighting, and focuses on the spring. He walks casually toward like many times before and stops at the edge before stepping in the sacred water. "Young waker of the winds," Great Fairy's voice was heard but had not yet appeared, then a blinding light flashes above the water followed by brief laughter, "Allow me to aid you in your quest,"
"But Great Fairy, you've already aided me. When I first came here, remember?" he spoke uneasily.
She laughed again and replied, "But of course, dear youth. How could I forget? Now stand still, hold out your hands and accept this gift," My jaw dropped, I wasn't expecting that. She cupped her hands and reopened them, in them was a light pink flower. She blew the petals in his direction, eager to see what he would receive I leaned in closer. My vision begins to blur and I felt my body lighter than usual, confused I look around me and noticed that the blue mist embraces me and I begin to fade away. 'What's happening to me?'
I open my eyes and see the petals floating around me, guiding me to unknown area. I hear a gasp from behind and slowly turn around. I was face to face with him, my...the hero. We lock eyes for a moment and he quickly broke away and fixed his eyes on her, "Why?" he questioned. I turn back around awaiting her response, but Great Fairy simply said, "Be grateful courageous youth, she may be of great importance one day. Use her wisely. And always remember that the fairies in this fountain shall ease your weariness. When you grow fatigued from battles, come here to be refreshed." she laughed as she faded away.
I raise both hands and placed them above my heart and bowed my head, Thank you. Once I open my eyes and find that my sisters have reappeared once more but have stopped floating. All eyes were on us, not in anger or jealousy, but more of silent approval. I look over my shoulder and find him studying me intently, he held me in his hands and slowly walked back towards the entrance. "Evvie," I said just before he stepped into the light, "I was named, Evvie," He stared at me eyebrows raised and wide eyed but then a smile appeared on his face. My brows furrowed questioning his change of expression.
"I just never heard anyone of the fairies speak before,"
So... this is the beginning of my first story. I know it's short, but for sure on make later chapters lengthier. In case of any confusion this takes place during Wind Waker and it is told in Evvie's P.O.V. (One of the fairies in the Fairies' Fountain located in the Fairy Woods on Outset Island) Wow, that was a lot mention of fairy. Well if you have any other questions feel free to message me, or comment, or not! I'll sort things out in time C:
