-Vio-
The world is spinning, but only in vain. Ever since Gufuu and Ganondorf were defeated, everything has been empty. I know, Red always tells me, "Smile! You lead to the defeat of darkness!" But it's not true. I just sat there, and lied to someone who meant everything to me, and broke their heart.
On the upside, I found something to pass the time, besides reading of course. Music, it is truly beauty itself. I especially enjoy the violin. Red claims because it has 'vio' in it. Honestly, I don't know why I enjoy it so much, it just makes my heart sore higher than the birds.
That's where I am now, standing on my favorite spot to be. It's a cliff, overlooking a river valley, with a twisted tree standing to the edge of it. I usually stand on the very edge, as if I'm about to jump off and attempt to smother the sinking sadness. I've discovered a beautiful song, Ballad of the Goddess, said to be created by 'Sky people'. I don't know if it's true, I dug deeply for the truth if there were really Sky people.
The music echoes throughout the clearing, I play so loudly, and expertly I don't even notice the other Heroes approaching behind me.
"Vio?" Green says as if I really am about to jump into the roaring river far below.
Of course, I say nothing, but do play softer, cuing them to speak.
"Would you actually face us like we really are you, and aren't invisible?" hisses an annoyed Blue.
I sighed and obliged to the short tempered Hero. I let me violin and bow fall to my sides, my hands clutching them as if I'm holding Shadow's hand again. "What is it?" I asked, no emotions showing on my face. They never occurred anymore, sure, they occurred when Shadow was here, but since he faded into light, I've shut my heart and let it slate over with a slight ice.
"We've come to talk about you," Green said gently, "we know you're heartbroken about.. Shadow and all, but please if you will, go back to who you were." I looked away at his words, they were bitter, and I wish my mind would spit them out.
"We're worried! We think you might try to..." Red trailed off and looked at the cliff of the edge, a mere foot from where I stood.
"If you think I was stupid enough to jump, I would've already, just so you know." I turned back around and got in position to play again. "Now let that sink in. I'll never jump. I wouldn't want to taint your reputation with cowardliness now, would I?" I said flatly.
"HEY!" shouted an angry Blue. "You can't just turn around on us! We're family!" I heard him stomping towards me. Before I could turn my head to look at him, he spun me around and stared at me anger burning deeply into his intense gaze.
"B-blue!" wailed Red. Green was oddly silent.
Everything stayed like that for a moment. The silence was broken by an excited shout from Red and sound of surprise rising from Green's throat. When I turned to look at them, I saw them gaping at the ground as if they saw and mouse wave at them and scurry away. I followed their gaze to see nothing, I exchanged a glance with Blue, and he released me turning to them.
"What?" he asked confused.
"V-vio's shadow! It didn't match how he moved at all." Shouted Green.
I turned and looked at my shadow, it looked normal. What was going on in those strange minds of theirs? My shadow, not matching how I moved. Yeah, that's funny.
"That's ridiculous." I muttered staring at my shadow.
"No! We saw it, Vio. It didn't move with your body!" Green said urgently. With this, Blue was on the ground laughing so hard tears brimmed on the edge of his eyes. No, it wasn't moving weird. It wasn't, it couldn't.
"It was him!" Red gasped excitedly. Blue immediately stopped laughing and looked at Red. Even Blue knows not to say this…
I stared at him like he stabbed me. I felt my twitch. I know I swore never to let myself go with my emotions, but this broke me. "No it wasn't." I muttered under my breath.
And Red was still stupid enough to continue. "Huh?"
"IT WASN'T!" I shouted. "HE'LL NEVER COME BACK RED. HE'S GONE, EVEN I KNOW THIS!" I ended screaming at him. I looked at our horses grazing on the grass a little while back. Red began to cry.
"Vio, you didn't have to yell!" Blue shouted immediately walked Red away, and I watched them. I didn't care, I just let a piece out.
"Vio, I'm ashamed that you had enough sense to do that. It would've been fine if it were me or Blue, but red…?" He shook his head and walked to their horses. I watched them ride away, and Blue taking my horse with them.
I turned around and played Ballad of the Goddess. I'll apologize later.
Why did they bring him up? I stopped playing. I sat under the tree that sat at the edge. I closed my eyes slowly. There wasn't anything I could do, to bring him back, but I would if I could. I searched for almost a year, finding nothing. But, I knew Shadow would look, he'd probably find something. He would do that to find us, to befriend us, or kill us. But I wouldn't mind, being killed by Shadow, I deserved nothing less.
