All that I Have Left
I didn't want him to leave to be honest, but I felt I had to, because otherwise I'd feel guilty for the rest of my life.
I wanted to hold him in my arms and tell him to keep that Nayru forsaken Ocarina and to stay here with me.
I wipe my tears away. I am now queen; I can't bring him back. Or can I? I get up and look to the window.
"Why didn't you just say no to me, Link? Then you could be my king and hold me."
Tears welled up in my eyes and slid down my cheeks. "I can't always get what I want, and I must not regret my actions. I must accept the consequences of said actions."
He needed to live normally, yes, but I wish I had let him help me, at least. "Unless..."
I went into my bedroom and picked up the Ocarina of Time. "If I play the Song of Time, maybe... just maybe..." I played it.
Nothing happened.
I slumped against the wall crying. And for just a minute, I thought I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Don't worry," the ghost said. "I'll always be with you."
He disappeared.
And I felt his warmth.
This... this ghost of you... this feeling... is all that I have left of you.
And the legends that foretold your coming to help.
I set the Ocarina back in its place. "It's not your fault, Link," I say finally.
"It's all mine."
Er, yes. It's post OoT, so that explains the weirdness, in case anyone was confused.
I also know these are so short... but, there's not much to write in these "songfics".
I do them a different way.
To set myself apart from everyone else.
