When I was young, my father always said, ' Never let the world tell you who you are.' Who would of thought that I would remember those words in a time like this?
When I turned around, my teacher drew my attention.
" LINK!" And he pinned me.
" This is no time to be daydreaming!
I'm in the middle of a small field, wearing my favorite blue lose tunic, with my hair sticking out everywhere. I just had on some normal brown pants, and boots. My teacher, Colin, was getting irate with me. He wore just normal village clothes, nothing exquisite. Our last set of attire are wooden swords strapped onto our backs.
" When will you learn to always pay attention?! The enemy will never give you a break on the battlefield."
Oh yeah, I'm learning how to fight. At first I was a bit hesitant. I mean, Colin had killed more monsters than anyone I knew in Ordon.
He told me one day, With wize and old eyes he said, " When I first picked up the sword, it was never about glory, or having power. It was always about protecting my loved ones, let this be a lesson to you. Never fight for glory. Only fight to improve your self, or to protect your friends."
After that day I wanted to learn. So I made my own wooden sword and started training myself. I wanted to be like my father. Colin was only a child when my father saved all of hyrule. He defeated one of the greatest evils ever known to exist... Ganondorf. I've only got a blurry vision of my dad. Just someone that was... never really there, just In his own world. Colin told me that, ' He had lost something precious, and would never be the way he used to be.' So, that's all I know about my dad. He left on my 7th birthday. I remember that he wanted to be alone in the woods, and he wandered off, never to be seen again. Getting back to the present, Colin was getting his wooden sword out and started to stalk around in his stance. I just got a defiant look in my eye, and did the same.
I saw a change in Colin's face. He was thinking, though I don't know what about. After a few seconds he step sided and rolled, trying to catch me off guard. I was ready though.
He tried to catch my shoulder blade with his sword, not before I could parry him though. Then the real battle began. Next he tried a stab attack, I just whipped my sword around, parried, and began my own attack. I brought my sword up and attempted a swing for the legs, when he did something strange. He hit my sword hand with his hilt, jumped up and brought his sword down to my neck. I had no time to react.
After the dust cleared, Colin stood tall with his blade at my throat. " You still have a lot to learn." He said as putting his sword away.
I just grunted, defeated. " Well, you know what that means! You have to buy lunch!" Yeah, that's a rule we have. I've bought lunch for about a month, though I've gotten a lot better then in the beginning. I just sighed, and put my sword up. Then we started on our way back to town.
