Forgotten
Chapter one: Lost
The whispers echo through my mind as I return,
The years seem so distant…
Not for long though.
The stars glittered in the royal blue sky as I was back into my normal time period. I was thirteen again and Hyrule was no longer under the control of Ganon. The sword gleamed brightly under the moonlight's soft silver glow… I grinned at it.
"I guess we won't be seeing this sword again right Navi… Navi?" I said, looking for Navi. The fairy was floating toward the window, she was leaving and I knew it. "Navi! Where are you going?"
"I'm sorry but you're not a Koriki anymore, you're a Hylian. I have to go."
I was holding my tears back but they fell down my face like rain, I held my hand up to her. My grin faded into a frown then a cry. Navi flew down swiftly and I could feel her tiny hands holding mine, her tears ran through my fingers.
"Navi…I'm gonna miss you."
The silence took me over as I felt like screaming and holding her back… it wouldn't do me any good anyways.
"I'll miss you too Link. Just remember that our adventures led to great things, and that even though I won't be here to help you through your next adventure you can count on me for guidance any day!"
The words echoed through my mind, she began to fly away. My eyes were swollen from the tears; the light of the stars concealed her into the darkness of the night. I fell to the tiled floor and placed my head in my hands… I couldn't believe what was happening. I looked up and realized that I was on my own now and that I had to do something with my life. I stood up even though my legs didn't want to; I walked out of the room only to hear the sound of the doors closing behind me. The darkness consumed me as I left the building, trying to find my purpose in life now.
Years seemed to be the only thing that stood in my way of doing things. I was too young to stay here; no one back in the forest would trust me unless I lied but I promised Saria that I would never lie. A thought then came into my mind… I had to find Zelda. Maybe she still remembers the adventure I had. There was no time to spare, I ran quickly and snuck past the guards. I saw Zelda glancing through the glass window like she was when I first met her; I made my way to get near her by a few feet and I saw her look at me with disgust.
"Hey Zelda. Remember me?" I asked. Her blue eyes showed only a look of a feeling that I couldn't understand.
"Who are you?"
"It's me Link. I saved Hyrule."
An awkward silence crept on us only leading to an argument that I wouldn't forget so easily.
"Leave… I do not permit liars into the castle."
"Liar? But I'm not a liar."
"Hyrule isn't in danger and never will be! Just leave before I get the guards to take you away!"
"Zelda listen to me! I'm not here to hurt you or lie to you! I'm here to ask you if you remember me!" I shouted unaware of Zelda's hands glowing blue.
"STAY AWAY FROM ME!!"
She held her hands in front of me and the blue glow that was in her hands hit me in the chest, sending me flying toward a wall. I fell into a small little river that ran through the edges of the castle. As my head was now on the surface of the water I felt myself gasping for air. I lifted myself out of the water and held my arm… I couldn't move it.
"Zelda… you don't remember me," I whispered, unable to decide to run or stay. Her hands glowed blue again and I stood in my position. Tears filled my eyes again as I knew that I had lost my fairy and now the one person who knew who I was.
"Go away!"
"… I hope you're happy now!"
I turned and ran from Zelda, tears streaming down my face. I heard my foot steps echo through the fields as I ran toward the Lon Lon Ranch, hoping that someone still knew me.
