Katlynn booted up Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess onto her Wii, and sat down, Wiimote, as she called it, in her hands. She watched the intro for the hundredth time, amazed every time at how well put together it was. She interrupted it as it reloaded the system, taking her to the profile creation. It loaded, and she cleared her files. Three of them were there, with about... 15 Hearts on all of them. She had beaten the game many times, certainly more than three. In fact, more times than she could count. Her mom had put her in classes for the Summer, saying she was obsessed with the game. She enjoyed the classes, but really preferred to see Link. She had long ago fallen for the make-believe hero, dating all the way back to Ocarina of Time. She created the new file, skipping through the conversation, when the power went out. She sweared under her breath. When she went to look for a flashlight, she saw that the sky outside the window was pitch black. No stars, no moonlight... She tilted her head, a bit unnerved from the darkness. "Odd, it was just 4:00 a few minutes ago..." She narrowed her eyes, before continuing on to her bedroom. Something slammed her in the head, and she slumped over, in a daze. "What the Hell?..." She uttered, before losing consciousness.
She woke up with a jolt, holding her head. Immidietly she realized she wasn't in her bed. Her's was much more thick. She threw her legs over the edge, standing up on wobbly legs. "You're awake." Said a voice. Her head turned so fast, it could give one a whiplash. "Who the Hell are you?" She demanded, before her eyes widened. "Rusl?" She said, puzzled. He looked shocked, almost as much as her, and he held his head. "How do you know my name? Have we met somewhere before?" She shook her head. "Not personally, no..." He stood up. "Well, if you can stand, we're having dinner. As a guest, you're welcome to join us." She smiled slightly, and nodded, trying to act normal. "Thank you." He nodded, and walked over. Katlynn quickly remembered the bedroom was in the same room as the supposed 'kitchen'. Standing up from bed, she realized she was in different clothing. "Uli must've changed them..." She thought, trying to relieve the thoughts running through her mind. She shook her head, and walked over, sitting down. She sat down slowly, and Uli, still pregnant, gave her an odd look. "Something wrong?" She asked, and Katlynn quickly shook her head. "No ma'am." She said, and Uli nodded. Rusl turned, and looked at her, hands on his hips. "So, what's your name, and where'd you come from?" She thought fast. "Katlynn, and I was headed here from Castle Town, when my ride crashed in the field, I managed to get here, and I guess, you found me..." She rubbed the back of her head, and he nodded, believing the story.
"Well, Katlynn..." The name was odd to him, as it rolled off his tongue. "You may stay here as long as you like... Seeing how you were the only person we found, your family must be..." Shen nodded, playing the sad act. "Well, that's a sad subject! Now, Katlynn, you may meet the villagers after dinner." She nodded, as she stood, and grabbed the now steaming pot, and filled a couple of wooden bowls. Uli set the food down on the table, and stared at the food, mouth watering slightly. She glanced up at Uli. "What is it, may I ask?" Uli looked up, putting a spoonful of soup in her mouth. "Goat soup." She said, taking another spoonful. Katlynn nodded, popping the food into her mouth. It actually tasted good! She ate a bit faster, but made sure to be polite. Uli smiled, and ate her soup slow-paced. Soon enough, Katlynn finished her food, and picked up the plate. "Where do you want me to put it?" She asked. Uli just waved her hand in the air. "Nah, it's ok dear, I'll take care of it." Katlynn nodded slowly, and placed the bowl back down, standing slowly. "Thank you very much, you're very kind." She smiled sincerely, and they both nodded. "Come back around sunset, ok? We lock the doors at night..." Uli said, and Katlynn nodded. "Alright!" She opened the door, and slowly stepped outside. She glanced around Ordon Village, gaping in awe. Immedietly, several children approached her.
"You're alive!"
"What's your name?"
"Where are you from?"
"How'd you get that way?"
Katlynn sat on the porch awkwardly, and the kids surrounded her. "Yes, I'm alive." She stated first. "My name is Katlynn, and I'm from... Castle Town... Some monster's in the field attacked us, and we crashed outside of Ordon. Rusl found me, being the only one remaining, and took me in..." The kids looked surprised, and grabbed my hand. "Come and meet someone!" One of the girls, as she knew as Beth, said, tugging the sleeve of her new outfit. Katlynn followed, forced to lean forward, because of the little girl being so short. Finally, Beth stopped tugging her sleeve, and we stopped at a treehouse. "LIIIINNNNKKKKKKKK!" Beth hollered, and I facepalmed mentally. But at the same time, she was so damn excited! I was going to meet THE Link! The Hero of Time himself! Katlynn nearly jumped up in excitement, but wanted to not raise any suspicion, and composed herself. Link glanced down out of the window, and her face lit up pink. He nodded slowly, and called back down "I'm coming!" Her heart stopped. He could speak? She stumbled a bit, and got odd looks from the kids. When Link came out, her jaw dropped. He was... How was she to put it?... Her thoughts were interrupted when he asked "is she ok?" She shook her head, and stuttered "I-I'm fine..." Link shook his head, and asked "what'd you need?" Beth started doing a little in-place dance, shifting side to side, hands behind her back. "Weeeeelllll, we mainly came here to have you do something for us, buutttt, now we want you to meet Katlynn!" She said, arms towards the forigner, as if displaying her. Link's eyes averted to Katlynn, whom looked down, blushing. She couldn't look at her childhood crush without blushing! 'damned hormones'. She grunted mentally, before she was sure her blush was gone, she looked up, seeing his oval-shaped, deep blue eyes. She got lost in them for a moment, before again averting her gaze to the pine around his place.
Fado came running up suddenly, and looked around at everyone gathered around the house. He shook his head, "Link, would ya mind herdin' the goats?" He asked, and Link nodded. "Alright..." Fado looked around, "where's Epona anyways?" Link looked around, and said "I'll go look." He began to walk off, and out of curiosity, she stepped up. "May I follow you?" He looked at her oddly at her sudden excitement, and she again composed herself. "I-it's just, er, I've never been here, and want to explore a bit..." She cleared her throat. Link nodded slowly, and began jogging in the direction of the woods.
(Sudden POV change, 'cause I can't keep focused on this one and keep wanting to use 'I' xD)
She followed him, and soon enough, they came into a small area, as she knew as the Ordon Spring. Illa was stroking Epona, and turned to both of us. She got this look on her face, at me, before turning to Link. "Hey, Link! I washed Epona for you." She smiled, and Link walked forwards. I just stood back. I could already tell I was messing with the scripting. Fado was supposed to come and wake Link up, not the girls and I.
He played the flower. It sounded even more beautiful in person! I slightly moved to the sound the melody gave, as Epona whinnied, and Link mounted her. I opened my eyes, to see Link on Epona, in front of me, holding out his hand. I grabbed it, and got on. I'd done horseback before, but I wasn't exactly professional. Nearly falling off a few times, I was about to settle on grasping onto Link, when we arrived at the ranch. I slowly got off, and he went to work. I watched Epona gallop around on the field, herding the goats. I got up, and walked up to one. Back at home, I was called an animal whisperer, and that not even the most skittish of a mouse would run away. Well, I have used a Quail call, and held up some forign conversation with them, but an animal whisperer? Anyways, I approached the goat, and pet it softly. It baa'd in return, and I smiled, continuing to stroke it. The goat turned to me, trying to bite my clothing. I held up a finger, and started walking, my hand on it's back. It slowly followed, as I calmly led it into the barn. It baa'd sadly as I put it away, and I gave it a sad look, and walked out. I ran out of the way as a goat came bolting into the barn, almost trampling me. "That's the last of them!" Link called, and Fado nodded in the distance, skipping over. "Would you like to practice some hurdles?" He asked, and Link nodded slowly. Fado got them out, and I laid down, remembering the sky would be dark when he was done. I was awoken from my dream when I felt a hand prod my side. Looking up groggily, I saw it was Link. "Hey, get on Epona? We're gonna jump the hurdles out." I nodded, and stretched, yawning, and got on Epona. He clicked, and she went off in a trot. He began lightly tapping her side, and she went faster. Finally building enough speed, she jumped the fence, I nearly lost grip on Link, as she went flying over the fence, and back into Ordon Village.
He stopped at his tree house, and got off, holding out his hand, and helping me off. I glanced at the sky, and gasped. "Crap!" He gave me an odd look, not havingt heard 'crap' before. I shook my head "I was supposed to be back at Rusl's hours ago! See ya later, Link!" She said, saluting with the wrong arm, and running off as quickly as she could back to the make-shift home.
The next morning, I woke up, and had breakfast. Link came by a couple hours later, giving Uli her basket. She handed him the fishing rod, etc. etc.. She discussed with Illa, talking about Epona. Illa vented on and on about how Link didn't care for her. I just rolled my eyes. She didn't seem to notice this. Link trotted out of Ordon, on Epona. He got off of her. Here it comes... Illa closely observe's Epona's leg, and stands after minute, giving him a look of horror and hate. "She's hurt!" She yelled at him, getting in his face. They bickered, Link trying to defend himself. I almost laughed at how he was getting his ass kicked by a girl. Instead, I spaced out, as the mayor tried to get involved. Illa finally walked off with Epona, and I stood at Link's side. "Let's go find her..." I suggested, and he nodded, and leaded the way.
He found that she locked the entrance to the spring. Rolling his eyes, he took a rock out of the way of a secret passage he'd found many years ago. "Let's go through here." I nodded, and he went through first. When we came out the other side, I stayed in the hole. "I-I'll wait here." He nodded, and they spoke to each other. I knew what was coming to them; exactly why I stayed back here. I felt like a coward for hiding, but somebody needed to care for Link, incase he had a concussion or something. Her presence could cause that.
Rumbling was heard, and the door burst open, as a boar with the King Bulbin riding on him came in. The scene unfolded before her eyes. It was much more gore-y in real life. Illa was scooped up, and the Bulbin king hit him over the head with his club, causing Link to fall to the ground, and blood filled the spring.
When the Bulbin looked around, for anyone hiding, which would be me, he saw nothing, and left. I quickly ran out for Link, and dragged him out of the water. He suffered from wounds to the head, definately really severe. She dipped it in the water, as it soon stopped bleeding. I sighed, and laid him gently on the sand. A burning sensation touched my arm suddenly, and I grunted, holding my hand. I looked at it, and saw a Triforce on it. "The Hell?" I said, when Link woke up, he shot up, looking back and forth for Epona and Illa. Freaking out, he ran out of the beach, and over the bridge. I followed close to him, as he came before the Twilight Wall. He gasped, stumbling back a little. I looked once at Link, before that dreadful hand lashed out, grasping Link. I looked in horror. I saw it coming, of course, but it was really horrifying in real life! Having no time to think, another hand reached in. I let out an ear-peircing scream, as I was yanked into the twilight...
