Friendship between Two
I wrote this fanfic sooo long ago – but I thought I should give y'all a
look into my past, when I was younger.
Chap. 1 Lia:
It was a few months after Link had saved Termina from being destroyed by a giant moon. He had just gotten home a few weeks ago and he was pretty tired after such a far away adventure. He was laying down on his bed in his Kokiri tree house. He just lay looking out the window at the beautiful forest that stood before him. He was relaxed, but that didn't last for long. He fell asleep for about an hour, but he could never stay still for an extended time. He got up and decided it was time for him to feed Epona.
Epona was still small for now and Link thought she should stay with him in the forest. So Epona would wait patiently under the big tree until Link would come out and do something with her. Link climbed down the ladder and walked over to Epona. "Good girl," he said, giving her a pat on the back. He then led her to some of the greenest parts of the forest for her to graze. All the Kokiri children watched in wonder as Link led his horse to the little waterfall. They never saw a horse before, so they were simply fascinated by Epona. Link led his horse over to the small pool of water and Epona lapped the water loudly as Mido walked over.
"How'd a wimp like you ever get a horse?" He taunted. Link looked up at Mido for a second and then went back to patting Epona, pretending not to notice Mido. This irritated Mido and he just stomped off, mumbling. Link had been home for at least a week. That was enough for him. He was ready to go out again. He thought about riding Epona around Hyrule Field. He enjoyed the idea of the sun on his face and waited for Epona to finish. Then he was off and out of the woods.
He rode Epona out over the field and looked all around him. "It's good to be out here again," Link thought. He decided to go and pay a short visit to Lon Lon Ranch. He could use a good bottle of milk. But, he had another thing on his mind: Zelda. He wanted to see her too, so he had to make the Lon Lon Ranch visit quick. He got a funny feeling when he thought of Zelda that made him smile. Thinking of her made him ride all the faster to Lon Lon Ranch.
He trotted in with Epona naturally and looked around. He saw Malon off with the horses and went over to say hello to her. He got off Epona and led her to Malon. "Hi Malon," He said with a smile. "Hi Link!" She said happily. Then Link finally noticed the girl next to Malon. He looked at her. She was about his age and had long blond hair that was in a ponytail tied with a red bow, and she had blue eyes that twinkled. She wore a blue tunic in a more feminine style and she had knee high brown, leather boots. The girl smiled at Link, a playful smile. Malon introduced her.
"Oh –Link – this is my friend that I met a while ago," Said Malon. "This is Link," She said to the blond girl, pointing to Link.
"Hi," She said. She had a nice voice. "My name is Lia,"said the girl, pointing to herself with her thumb. Link nodded to her.
"Malon? Can yeh help me with this here horse?" Malon's dad, Talon, asked.
"Coming!" she said, "– You two can get to know eachother better," Maoln said before running off to help her dad.
Lia got straight to getting aquatinted with Link. "So," She started. "I see you have a horse?" Link nodded. Lia walked over to Epona, "She's so cute!" Lia said, petting her muzzle. Epona sniffed her hand as they patted her nose.
"I think she likes you," said Link, watching Epona and Lia.
"Someday," Lia started, "I want to get my own horse. They're such beautiful creatures." Link knew why she and Malon were such good friends now.
"Do you ride her?" Lia said, turning to link. He nodded. "How fast can you go?" Lia persisted. Link smiled competitively.
"Pretty fast. Do you wanna see?" He asked. Lia smiled and nodded.
So Lia sat on the fence and watched link race Epona around the stable for several laps, all the time she kept an approximate timing. She was amazed by how fast Epona and Link went, and continued to watch. Finally, Epona was tired and they slowed to a halt. Lia ran up to him, beaming with admiration. "You went real fast!" Lia exclaimed. Link smiled back.
"Yup," he said proudly, "Epona is a fast one,"
It was past noon and the two walked with Epona around the stable, Lia still interested in Epona. Then Lia got an idea. "Hey Link, wanna play tag-I bet I could beat ya!" Lia knew how to get Link's attention already. "I bet you can't!" He said, tagging her quickly and running away.
"Hey!" She called, and ran after him. The two played for a long time and then switched to hide-and- go- seek. Their games started to move out of the ranch and into the field, and they played all day. A friendship simply appeared between the two and they became quick friends.
Their games ended in Lake Hylia. The two sat on the grassy shores of the lake and were watching the sunset. Link told about his adventures, and how he lived with the Kokiri, while Lia listened eagerly to every word. Then the two began to talk about other things. Link mentioned her name and how it was part of Hylia.
"Yeah," she responded, "I guess it is part of Hylia, huh?" Then the two were silent for a while. Finally, Link spoke up.
"Hey, Lia? Who are your parents? Where do you live?" He asked.
Lia hesitated with her answer. "Well," She started, "I never knew my dad... I live with my mom. Her name is Nabooru." She said, slightly smiling. Link's jaw dropped.
"Your mom is Nabooru?" He asked dumbfounded. Lia was the daughter of a sage! But it didn't seem that Lia realized that.
"Yeah," she said nodding.
"Well, isn't she worried that your gone for so long?" he asked.
"Not really," She answered. "She's usually busy and she trusts nothing will happen to me – as long as I get back every night." She said. Link fell silent and studied her. She had almost as light skin as he did. Her eyes were blue and her ears were pointed. How could she be part Gerudo? Then he saw the mischievous glint in her eye, like any Gerudo had, and that was enough proof for him. He studied her closer. Link finally had a chance to realize that Lia was actually rather pretty. She smiled at him.
"So Link... you said you went on adventures?" Link nodded. "And you have good sword skills too?" She asked. Link didn't know where she was going with all these questions and nodded again. "Then you can teach me to use a sword!" she said, beaming.
Link was surprised, "Wait – you want to learn how to use a sword?" She nodded. Link thought. It wouldn't hurt to practice his old skills again.
"Well..." he said. Lia leaned forward "Please, I need to practice my skills if I want to be a Gerudo." she said. "Well, alright," he answered finally. "Great!" Lia said. "– We'll start tomorrow – in the Kokiri forest," he added. "OK!" She said excitedly. "Well, I better get back to the fortress," she said getting up. "Yeah, and me to the forest," Link said. They walked to their homes and got ready for a night's sleep.
Lia trotted to the Spirit Temple. Her mother was waiting for her in the doorway. "Where have you been?" Nabooru asked. "I met a boy today, mommy," Nabooru raised her eyebrows, "Oh really?" she asked, suspicious. "Yes, his name is Link." Nabooru was very satisfied with that. "Hmm," was the only way she answered. She led her daughter inside as Lia told her about how she was going to learn how to use a sword tomorrow with her new friend. After supper, Lia went to bed and thought about tomorrow. She really liked Link, and was excited that he was going to teach her how to use a sword.
Meanwhile, Link lay in bed and thought about his day. He had made a new friend, and he was going to teach her how to use a sword tomorrow. And once they met, he forgot about visiting Zelda completely, and he didn't think about her anymore that day. He lay down and closed his eyes, wanting to get a good rest so he could be ready for tomorrow. He smiled and fell asleep.
