Oshen Ukhar
Tragedy at a Young Age
Well let's begin from before my birth the story I was told by my Father when I was seven. I was conceived on a night that reminded my mother of graceful fire flies dancing in the sky. That is how I was given my first name Oshen (graceful) and my middle name was from the man she was with, my father, Ukhar Ayi (Angel Courage), hence my name being Oshen Ukhar, meaning Graceful Angel. My mother, Hrrim Naya (Faith Season), was described to me as a beautiful Zoran with all the grace in the world and all of the kindness too. She was always there for her friends, family even strangers. There was one story I was told where a lost Hylian child came wandering into Zora's River and my mother guided her right to her home and even told the girl she was welcome at Zora's river anytime just next time call out for her and she will be there for her. How I wish I knew my mother.
Now after two short months I was born, now I was not born in Zora's domain or Zora's River or even in Lake Hylia I was born in the cavern behind Lord Jabu-Jabu, my mother was out collecting supplies to make crafts for sale at her brothers Zora Domain shop, when my egg, which she carried on her in a water tight pack on her back started to move about, so she set the bag down to check on my egg and there I was swimming about. My mother quickly ran back to my father to show him his son. My father was so excited he now had a son. Now he can now leave his legacy to me, his son.
I grew steadily and normally no different from any other non royal zora. I had a tail so that was proof I was not royal, all royal zora's had no tail. At the age of two years old my mother was out at lake Hylia, and I was at home with my father playing with my blocks, when Oitha Mai (Moon Time) came running in, calling "Ukhar Ayi where are you, Ukhar Ayi."
My father came running up to him "Yes, Oitha Mai, What is it?"
"It's Hrrim Naya, she is ….." He stopped when he saw me and motioned for my father go outside with him.
My father went on to tell me that when he stepped outside, Oitha Mai said "your wife, she is I am so sorry to tell you this, but she is dead."
"Dead?" my father collapsed, "dead how… how did it happen?"
"She was collecting supplies for her crafts in the tree on the island above the Water temple when the ground shook and she fell out of the tree and landed face down on the island, she was okay from the fall" Oitha Mai paused and took a deep breath, " she got up and started to walk across the bridge heading home when I came up to her and asked her if she was okay, she told me she was so I started to walk off when the crows started to dive bomb her and pelt her with rocks, she collapsed I tried to run to her but there were to many crows that I could not reach her and when I could she was dead."
"I see, please tell no one I will inform her family in Termina. Is her body still there?" My father asked.
"No I carried her to her brother's shop and told him I would go get you and Oshen Ukhar."
"Well then I had better get Oshen Ukhar…" my father said as he opened the door.
"Daddy!" I called in joy "Mommy where?"
"Mommy is with the angels my son" he told me in a soft comforting voice.
"Mommy, with angels!" I said with joy not knowing at the time that I would only see her 2 more times in my life, one in a state I will never forget all battered and bruised and the other of her when she was in her coffin the day of her funeral a week after her death.
