Child's Play
* Note: I don't own The Legend of Zelda or anything related to it for that
matter. Take this into account. This is a Zelda/Link fan fiction story.
This story is set one month after Link's departure from Hyrule. The story
is rated pg-13. If you do not like these, than do not read it. All flames
will be ignored. Once again, if you don't like it, don't read it. Thank
you.
The dark clouds loomed over the princess. She ran, but there was no escape. "Leave me alone!" She screamed into the darkness "Not until you're mine forever!" A voice shouted out as a dark hand reached out to grab her. The young girl screamed.
Zelda woke up abruptly. It was still the middle of the night. Impa, Zelda's nanny, burst into the room.
"Princess! Are you alright!?"
"I'm fine Impa. I just had a bad dream."
"Fine, but I think I'll just stay in here for a while."
"Alright. Good night."
"Good night princess."
Impa seated herself in a chair next to the bed. After a while, Zelda was fast asleep. A quarter of an hour later, she began twisting and turning violently, whispering something Impa couldn't make out. As she leaned in closer, she smiled as she made out the single word repeated over and over. "Link."
It was common knowledge around the castle that the princess had a crush on the young boy who had saved all of Hyrule. The king had laughed at this when Impa told him. "Zelda?! In love with that common boy?! That's absurd!" "I didn't say she 'loved' him. Only that she seems to have a small crush on him." "That's nonsense Impa! Now, I have work to do, so you'll excuse me." The conversation had ended there. Impa got up and left the room. Had she stayed a moment longer, she wouldn't have been knocked over by a black figure in the dark. The Raven, as he was called, stood up and smiled. A few weeks ago, he had come to the castle to work as the court mage. He had silver hair and dark eyes. The rest of him was covered by a black cloak, which was, most likely, concealing a black robe.
"Hey! Slow down Raven! What's the fuss about?"
The Raven pointed to a nearby window. Impa looked out and saw nothing. The torrents of rain were concealing something. The Raven waved a hand, and before she knew it, Impa and the Raven were outside on the town battlements. Impa squinted and saw at last, a small figure on horseback.
"It's Link! Open the gates!"
"Don't bother." The Raven said. With another wave of his hand, he and Impa were in the main hall with a young boy clad in green. The boy had blonde hair and blue eyes. He looked around in amazement until at last he saw Impa.
"Impa! But...how..."
"Let me explain. This is the Raven."
The Raven bowed. "Hello. I have heard about you great Hero of Time."
"Hi. My name's Link. Impa, how did I get here? And where's Zelda?
Impa smiled. "Zelda is asleep. You were brought here by the Raven's magic."
"You may take the room next to Zelda's for the night" Before Link could ask about Epona, the Raven replied "and your horse is in the stables."
The trio went down the halls and up the stairs, coming to a long hall of doors. The Raven snapped his fingers and every torch in the hall were lit in their brackets.
"Good night Link. I'll see you tomorrow."
"Night Impa." The hero replied as he yawned and went into a room.
"Hero, may I have an audience with you for a moment?"
"Sure Mr. Raven"
The two went into the room. A candle on the bedside table lit itself as they entered. The Raven took a seat in an armchair. "I would first like to know how your quest went."
Link explained about the long period in which he left Hyrule, met the Skull Kid, entered the world of Termina, and saved the world from the mask of Majora. The Raven only nodded and gasped at the right moments. When Link was done. The Raven merely sighed and said, "Well, it appears that you had a long journey and I will let you rest." He got up and went to the door. "Oh and one more thing."
"What's that?"
"Never call me Mr. Raven again. Raven will do just fine."
With that, he left the room. Link blew out the candle and fell fast asleep.
The next day, Zelda woke exhausted. Her entire night had been spent in the embrace of nightmares. She went to see Impa, who had the room next to hers. A figure lay asleep on the bed, its entire body covered with a blanket. Zelda sat down on the bed and allowed herself to collapse on the figure. Link jumped up and yelled. Zelda opened her eyes and gave out a scream. Impa, who had taken the next room launched in and asked "What's wrong?"
"Impa! I thought you were..." Then she looked and saw Link. "Link! When did you get here?!"
"Last night!"
"Well you could have told me!" Zelda and Link were now erupting into peals of laughter. Impa just looked at the two before her. 'These two are nuts!' She thought before leaving the room. Zelda gave Link a hug before standing up. "Hey, you want to go for a walk later?"
"Sure, and we can have lunch too."
"That sounds great. I'll come back a little later. Bye."
"Bye."
**Sorry for the small chapter, with not much action. We'll find out what happens at Link and Zelda's 'date' next time. Later!
