A Hero's Heart

Prologue: A Hero's Pain

They don't understand. They can't begin to understand. They haven't seen what I've seen. They don't know what I know. She did this to me.

They stare at me. Some scowl and some show pity in their eyes, but none of them will ever voice their opinion of me. I'm only a young boy of twelve, however once I was a man of seventeen. I know about all the negativity the world holds and all the hate people have.

Inside of my chest beats a bleeding heart, one that knows only pain and loneliness. She told me to live my childhood the way I should have lived. Without time travel and bloody battles, without the monsters and the ghosts.

My memory should have been erased; maybe I should have just stayed in that time, when I was an adult. Maybe then I could have been at piece with everything that happened to me.

But I remember everything, every day I fought, every hour I was alone, every minuet She took from me, every second I wished that a Redead or a Stafol would strike me down and end my quest for the piece that would never come.

And when finally it came and I defeated The Great Ganondorf I thought it was all over. I though She would be kind enough to take away the pain and suffering I endured for Her.

When a suicide attempt is made in this land, everyone knows about it. And mine was no exception. Never in the land of Hyrule has a boy of my age tried to kill himself, but I am not a child anymore. I haven't been a child since I destroyed Queen Goma inside the Great Deku Tree almost three years ago.

I tried to ram the master sword, the sword that was at my side the whole time I was fighting, through my heart almost seven months ago. I wanted the pain I had in my heart, the loneliness, the hate, the anger, and the sting of betrayal gone.

However, a man was in the woods that day gathering Deku nuts to sell at the store. He saw my tears and the blood that spilled from my chest. He saved my depleting life and for that I curse him. I hated that man to no end. I hated Her even more. She should have let me forget. She said she would take way my memories. She lied to me. And for that I Hate Princess Zelda.

Now I walk with darkened eyes and a hollow heart. I feel nothing toward the people of this land and I wish I never saved them, they have no idea that I'm the reason they are still alive. They treat me like I'm not worthy to be in their presence. Like I'm a plague.

And to think I once was the Hero of Time. I am Link of the Korkiri Forest. I want to die. I shall start from the beginning since the time I was torn from my suicide.

Yea so um, aha read and review and let me know what you think. I also would like to know if I spelt anything wrong. Thanks a million!
