A/N: Hello one and all. Sorry for not putting this A/N the first time but I just forgot because I was tired. Anyways, this is my new story based around an OC of mine...pretty much just me in Legend of Zelda. Now while it said it was updated you may think it looks the same but I added onto it and the real second chapter will be released soon. Anyways goodnight and please R&R
My eyes slowly open as I wake from the nap I was enjoying, the soft bounce of my horse as she walks down the well trodden path had lulled me into a nice sleep. I
let out a loud yawn and stretch my back, hearing more than a few pops run down my spine. I turn my head and look both ways, about 20 yards to my right a stream
ran. I turn my horse and I let her walk lazily up to the stream and dip her head to drink the water. Hopping down, I look at the stream. It ran fast, which meant it
was fine to drink, shallow enough for me to get across easy but still deep enough for some bass to be seen swimming up stream to their mating grounds. I pull out
my metal canteen and unscrew the top, dumping it into the grass before placing it under water to fill again. These new metal canteens were great and all, but if you
left the water in for too long it started tasting like iron. Once my canteen was filled I screw it shut and bend over the water to scoop up some to drink. I notice my
reflection in the water, short hair, barely an inch long, dirty blonde as well. My eyes, a sky blue with specks of emerald around the iris' of them. My face was a bit
dirty and unshaven, light stubble over my chin and up my sideburns into a short, unappealing beard. But that happens after three weeks of constant going on a trail. I
bend my face close to the water and scoop it up, splashing it over my face to at least clean away the grime before sighing and looking around for a tall tree to climb. I
notice a rather large one and smile, jumping up and catching it's lowest branch I haul myself up and begin climbing, after a few minutes of climbing, with two close
calls, I reach the top and stare out over the landscape, seeing the rising, majestic tower in the distance. I survey the rest of the area from my tree before heading
down to my horse again, grabbing a piece of rolled up parchment I unravel it and stare at the map of Hyrule. Judging from the distance I am about 30 minutes to the
closest town, and another day and a half from my destination, Hyrule Castle, where I dream to one day be a knight for the Princess' Army… after the training that's so
infamously hard barely half who enroll even become knights. I sigh and roll the map back up, there was no point in worry now so I stand and hop back onto my
horse, turning her back to the trail and proceeding down to the small town. As I approach I look around, this close to the castle, the town was rather large, with 2
pubs, 3 Inn's, and one or two whore houses. I stop at one of the Inn's and tie up my horse, grabbing a sack of my more valuable things, as well as my simple sword
and shield and I walk inside. I see a staircase on the back right, situated next to the bar, with tables dotted all over from the far left to the far right. I head to the bar
that was there and tapped on it to get the bartender's attention,
"Excuse me sir? I'd like to rent a room for the night" My voice comes out deep and strong, yet there was a hint of something underneath, perhaps uncertainty from
leaving my home village. The bartender stares for a moment, no doubt wondering if I had the money, before letting out a gruff response.
"A night is 50 Rupees," I sigh and pull out a piece of parchment, holding it to the bartender.
"This should cover it," I reply, on the paper was written permission by the commander of the army to allow me free lodgings for only one night an establishment as I
make my way to the castle to train. The bartender reads it over and nods, handing me the parchment again before also handing over a key.
"Your room is on the second floor, all the way down on the left side." I nod and drop 10 Rupees on the bar,
"Thank you sir, I also have a horse that'll need lodging as well, that should cover it?" I ask, each Inn was different, but 10 rupees were definitely the most expensive
I've come across yet. The bartender nods and calls to an errand boy, I tell him where my horse is and he nods, rushing off to take her to the stables. I walk up the
stairs and head left, going all the way down the hall before finding the door, opening it I look around to see a two person bed, nightstand with a candle, and dresser
pressed against the far right, with a desk, another candle, and a window on the left wall. I walk to the bed and drop my sack of things, setting down my sword and
shield to rest against the nightstand as well. I notice the sun sinking low and darkness creeping up so I stretch and I strip down to my undergarments, climbing into
the rather soft bed and closing my eyes. Letting sleep take me away. I awake the next morning to the sound of knocking on the door to my room, slipping on a pair of
trousers I open in a crack to see a maid,
"I beg your pardon but breakfast is being served downstairs" she said before bowing her head lightly and leaving. I close the door and put on a shirt and packing my
things, walking out with my sack, sword, and shield. Finding a table near the back corner I place my things down, a waitress bringing me a plate of eggs, sausage,
bacon, an apple, as well as a cup of black coffee. Eating at a moderate speed I soon finish and pack my things, thanking the bartender on the way out he finds his
horse standing out front. She was gleaming and looking around, I smile and pat her before placing my things on her and strapping my sword to my hip and my shield
on my back. Lifting myself up and onto my horse I turn her to the distant tops of the castle and lightly kick her sides to make her gallop away, and towards where I
always dreamed of being. The next day and a half went with no events happening, I was stretching and rubbing my eyes when my long ears catch the first whispers
of commotion and my spirits lifted higher than the tallest spire of Hyrule Castle. I reach the front drawbridge and stare up at the magnificence of the wall and the
castle, slowly walking through the town on the back of his horse. Looking left and right I try to capture all the sights, all the sounds, all the smells, all the different
species. Suddenly I jerk forward and I hear someone stumble and fall, my horse steps back and I jump off, seeing a girl about my age on the ground my eyes widen,
"Oh my, I'm so terribly sorry!" I rush to reach a hand down and help her up, noticing her white shirt and purple skirt, it was simple, yet she looked good in it. My face
begins heating up as I look over her, her long, red hair looked as soft as silk, and her eyes looked as blue as the ocean. I saw her lips move but I couldn't hear her, all
I could do was focus on her beauty. After a few moment I shake my head and the heat I felt on my face just got hotter, "I-I'm sorry, what did you say?" I hear her
giggle and I rub the back of my neck,
"I said, do you always run into girls?" she asks, I slowly shake my head.
"Uh, n-no, I'm sorry it's just I've never been to the market and I was distracted, I'm very sorry." I try apologize again and she just nods,
"It's okay, so what are you doing in the town then?" I smile and stand a little straighter,
"Oh, I've come to train as a knight, so I can protect Hyrule from her enemies." I say, she nods and smiles.
"Well then Mr. Knight, good luck!" she says and walks away, I follow her until she was lost in the crowd and I sigh. Hopping back onto my horse and making the slow
trot to Hyrule Castle to start the rest of my life.
