Woes of a Fairy
I have followed link for many, many years, and through countless adventures, and we are still bound together by magic, and also by friendship.
He is quite old now, and lives in a small cottage near Hyrule market, so that he can get their easier. Epona is long dead. She died of old age in her sleep. Now that we are all filled with memories and age, Link's definitely not what he use to be.
Presently, it is evening, and I am using my magic to provide light while he reads. He does that often these days, and now that things have really slowed down, it has given me much time to reflect on our pasts, and how exciting our world was. As of late though, I have been reflecting on all the challenges I had to face as link's companion. Because it hasn't always been the best time for me.
For example, mind don't learn the language of man. Some learn, but I found it unnecessary and time consuming. I was a very playful fairy before link. My friends and I never thought we would be chosen to be the companion of a hero, so when I was called to the task I was shocked. I was so unsure how we were going to communicate. I scrambled to learn as many words as I could, but the language was a challenge, and I wasn't able to learn many things to say. I was told that hey was a great thing to say to get peoples attention, so I focused on learning how to pronounce that correctly. I also focused on warnings and, "Hey look" That way I could show him whatever I deemed to be important. With that, I was to set out to Kokiori forest. At least my writing was a little better. I could write, but not much, so it was still difficult.
People would always say things about me behind my back like I couldn't here or understand. Link would try to defend me, but I could see the awkward looks on his face, and knew that while he loved me, he agreed with what people said about me.
The other issue I had is that I've been tethered to link by magic ever since I was chosen to be his companion, so I cant go any further than a foot or so away from him. It very much hurt my heart because I couldn't exactly help him in the heat of battle. Also, it made certain things awkward. No one wants a fairy over your shoulder going to the bathroom, but my magical tether still stands.
Those aspects of the adventure made life difficult at times, however I am Blessed to have a lifelong friend by my side like Link, and I've seen more places than any fairy in their lifetime, and that's something I wouldn't give up for anything.
