Adrenaline began pumping through my veins. Excitement overwhelmed my senses. I couldn't believe that I held the new Zelda game, Zelda Wii. I smugly looked at the queue behind me. It was well past midnight, and my exhaustion was winning the war with my excitement. Drowsily I got into my car and drove home.
Sleepily I went into my ever loving home. Sneaking around all the rooms, I made sure that all my family were fast asleep. Quietly I changed to a comfy tracksuit, then I continued to settle into my favourite armchair in which, I always play the Wii. Inspecting the cover, a strange triforce symbol grasped my attention. The symbol resembled a golden triforce with angel wings. The symbol began to draw me in, it seemed so familiar, yet so alien to me. A strong burning sensation erupted in my left hand, yet no visible mark appeared. Just as quickly as a dropped the cover, a heavy wave of sleep washed over my body. Surely enough I fell into a solemn sleep.
Opening my eyes the next morning, an amazingly bright light filled my eyes. Tears ran down my face as I shut my stinging watery eyes. A soft gentle breeze swept over my resting body. Out of shock my eyes sprang open. Fear and awe welled in my heart as my eyes drank in my strange surroundings. Large ancient wise trees surround the open space where I lay. A young gentle spring flowed merrily to my left and a dusty path twisted away to my right. I began to believe that I'm not in Ireland anymore.
Slowly I made an effort to stand. A wave of nausea washed over me, I noticed a figure of a man on horseback walking towards me. The wave of dizzy sickness overwhelmed my petite body. Weakly I collapsed onto my knees; I heard the heavy stomping of hooves quicken their pace. A strong pair of hands scooped me back onto my feet from behind. The hands gently released me, but I staggered again. The gentle hands took a firm hold of me to keep me standing.
I awkwardly turned to see my support. I was greeted by a mass of unruly blonde hair and a pair of wild sapphire eyes washed with concern.
"Are you ill, m'lady?" asked the blonde young man.
Transfixed on his eyes, the same burning sensation engulfed my hand. But this time it was ten fold to my previous experience. I gasped in pain and glared at my hand. The same symbol of the cover of the game began to glow on my left hand. Staring at the strange sight I passed out into the arms of the stranger.
*********
Wearily I opened my eyes once again. Feeling the pillow beneath my head, I began to think that my encounter with the blue wild eyes was some sort of dream. Slowly I sat up still dazed about my strange experience. Carefully I propped myself against the wall behind the bed. Quietly I gazed around the room I was in.
A gentle flicker of a candle dimly lit the room. I faintly could make out the shadow of a stove, and a ladder which lead to some sort of loft. There was a table in the centre of the room. My fragile light source stood on the table. Yet it was not unaccompanied, the shadow of a young man sat stationed at the table. He seemed to be righting something. Cautiously I attempted to get off the bed. As soon as I tried to stand, my knees began to buckle beneath me. But as I fell, the same strong hands grasped my petite body and kept me standing.
"Milady, you are very impatient to heal?" chucked the young man.
"But I have to get home." I pleaded.
"Then you are not a Hylian?" continued my rescuer. I simply shook my head as an answer. As if the moment called for it, my stomach let out a hearty rumble. Immediately I felt my cheeks redden. The stranger let out a laugh that lifted my soul.
"Come sit, I shall prepare you a hearty meal, by your stomach's rebuttal you haven't ate all day" he laughed merrily. Within five minutes a plate of bread, cheese and fruit sat in front of me. The meal was accompanied by a large cup of milk. I began to feel quite embarrassed by all the burdens I had caused. But my stomach once again stopped my thoughts in its tracks. Shyly I tucked into my food. My host joined me with a plate of his own.
We tidied up after the meal in an awkward silence. When I turned back to the table, my host had a slight tinge of pink to his cheeks and began to look intensely into my eyes.
"If I may be so bold, may I ask your name, my fair lady?" he asked with a definite qualm of nervousness in his voice.
"I'm Jayne. What is your name?" I gingerly replied. The passion in his eyes made me turn a deep shade of blood red.
"My name is Link. I am the Hero of Time." he quoted with such a tone that it sent shivers down my spine. Then I realised that I was talking to 'The Link' of the Legend of Zelda series, the barer of the Triforce of Courage. My left hand began to throb worse than ever before. I stared at my hand and the symbol on the cover of the new Zelda game glowed on my left hand again. A triforce with wings. A wave of weakness came of my body. Limply I fell into Link's arms. I rested my head on his shoulder.
"Jayne are you well?" Link half shouted with panic. Link grasped my left hand and gazed at the symbol that glowed furiously. I saw Link's eyes widen in shock.
"You bare the triforce?! That is not possible!" cried he. With no effort Link swiftly picked me up bridal style, and rushed outside.
Link set my feet carefully on the ground. I tried to stand but my legs again gave way.
"Lean your body against mine" he gentle spoke. While taking out the fabled Ocarina of Time to call his noble steed. I did as he instructed.
"Why are you rushing?" I panted.
"Jayne, the triforce you bare has just been awakened in you, correct? Then your body cannot truly withstand its drain yet, because it is a full triforce. If Princess Zelda does not teach you to control it, it could kill you." Link calmly versed. All I could do was stare. With a strong effort, I pushed myself away from Link. Shakily I stood in front of him and stared at him in shock. Link motioned towards me, I tried to move away by legs couldn't handle the stress. My legs went beneath me, but Link's strong hands caught me. Weakly I struggled against him. Quietly he whispered soothing words in my ear and held me close. Eventually I gave in and sobbed into his chest.
"I will not let anything bad happen to you. Now, come." He soothed as his steed arrived.
With such ease he lifted me onto his horse. Link swiftly got on behind me, Link told me to lean against him and rest. I gripped the chest of Link's tunic. I wasn't frightened, but I needed someone to comfort me. Link held me close and soothed me as he urged his steed into a swift gallop into the night.
