Father and Son
Prologue
It was a beautiful afternoon in Hyrule, sunny with the birds singing loudly, but not for Luke Skyrider. Every day for him was grim, ever since most of his children had disappeared.
He wore a black cotton shirt for remorse, dark brown baggy pants and thick, black, leather boots (which had been worn down over his 14 years of traveling). The thing that really stood out was his hair. It was a yellowish blond and very shaggy (and had hints of grey due to his age). It was the type of hair and the only type of hair that made the Hylians stare, for it reminded them of "his" hair. The hair of the hero of time.
Chapter 1
Telma's Bar
It was about mid-day when the remainder of the Skyrider family entered Telma's bar in Hyrule Castle Town. It was a lively bar, small, but lively. It had a single counter and 2 sets of chairs, but you could tell it was lively by how many Hylien knights were there.
"How ya'l today folks" said the woman behind the counter in her surprisingly booming voice. "Ye- seem like your from out' a town. I'm Telma." Telma was a tall woman, but slightly overweight. She had red hair witch she kept in a bun. Her skin was a deep tan color and when you look at her, she looked like a female pirate.
"I guess you could put that way." said Mallory, Luke's wife responding to the "Ye-seem like your from out' a town" comment.
"Ya'l want something to eat? Or I could get'ye something to drink."
"Something to eat would be nice." said Luke in his usual grim voice.
"You okay?" asked Telma sounding a bit worried.
"Long story." said Luke.
"Mom, have you seen my makeup?"
"It should still be in your bag Charpay." Charpay was the only child that the Skyrider family had left. They had 6 daughters and only 1 son, and all were lost in the invasion of there home town except Charpay. Charpay was the oldest of all the children.
"We hear all the stories eventually. I especially like the long ones." said Telma.
"Well, she seems friendly enough." said Mallory. Luke stayed silent.
"Oh Luke. You know we can't hide it forever. Besides, it would be good for you to talk to someone other than me."
"Oh fine." He knew that it would be a bad idea if he didn't listen to her.
"It was 14 years ago; we all were very happy where we were. We used to have 7 children, 6 girls and 1boy. Charpay is all we have left. Our other children's names were Tray-da, Reia, Rohana, Linkson, Serianna and Aryell. We were just minding our own business when our village was attacked. We hid the children in the cellar wile we helped defend the village, but when we came back for them, they all were gone except for Charpay. We never gave up hope that they were still alive, so we devoted our lives to find them, dead or alive. Today is the anniversary of the day we lost them. I've never forgiven myself after that." he ended with tears in his eyes.
"Oh my, I never expected that." Said Telma, softer than usual. Mallory rubbed Luke's back to comfort him.
"We've been traveling ever since that day." Said Mallory also tearing up.
"Everyday." said Charpay looking at her nails.
"Hmm, you look like someone I know, Luke. He has shaggy blond hair too, and goes by, Link.
"Link, Link was the short form of Linkson."
"Were!" said Luke hopefully.
"Easy buddy! Normally you'll find here in Hyrule Castle Town, but he set out for the Gerudo Desert a couple of hours ago and hasn't gott'n back yet. I tell ya, that boy has more courage than brains sometimes. But he gets ou'a whatever trouble he's in most of the time." Telma told them.
"Do you have a map?" said Luke demandingly.
"Yeah but, your not seriously go'n out there, are ya?"
"Theirs nothing that will stop me now." Said Luke motioning for the map. Telma hesitated, then sighed, wrote something down on the map, then handed it to Luke.
"Good luck, you'll need It." said Telma as he bolted out the door, leaving Mallory and Charpay behind.
