My room feels cold, and damp. I hate cold. I hate damp things. I would rather be on a sun-baked desert than sleep in a room that felt like a giant block of ice. The only warm thing I can feel is the sun coming from my window. If only it was closer to my bed...
The sun that has so kindly given me heat tells me it's morning. I lazily roll out of my miserable excuse for a bed and rub the sleep out of my eyes. After I get enough of will power to actually move I head for the door.
Outside my bedroom there is a small space consisting of kitchen and living room (if you could call it that). I live with my uncle, though he is never around. I believe he goes down to a place called the milk bar every night. I hear him talk about it when he comes home, if I'm still awake. He comes back from this "milk bar" very late with a red face, and he acts all goofy, he gets so tired from it all he sleeps for most of the day. I asked him why he does all these things when he came home one day, he just said "You are too young to get it." in a very slurred voice.
We don't have much food in our house, only a bit of bread is what we have. I took a bit, but a very small bit, and headed outside. I lived in Hyrule Castle Town, right by the castle, where Princess Zelda lives. I have always wanted to meet her, she is my age, we could be friends. I've always wanted a friend, but nobody wants to. Maybe Princess Zelda would want to be my friend. She seems like she would be nice to me.
I don't know why nobody wants to talk to me. My uncle always said it was because "My mother was a damn Gerudo thief, and your father thought she was good lookin', but when you was born, neither o' them wanted ya, cuse you don't look like no Gerudo, but you don't look like no Hylian neither." he says that almost every time I ask him about most things, I'm starting to think it isn't true. I have no other explanation for having no friends, so I guess this will do.
Outside there was a lot of noise. There were dogs running around the fountain, and people in the market trying to buy things. There were a couple of children, but I knew none of them wanted to talk to me by the looks they gave me. Suddenly, a small boy in green with a fairy flying around him walked into the Town. The boy looked my age, and had blue eyes and Blonde hair, with a funny green hat sitting on top of it. He gave me a look, but not like the ones the other children gave me. He gave me this look of fascination and curiosity, but as I watched him, I noticed he gave that look to everything he saw, even the Cracks on the ground.
"He must be from far far away to not understand what all of this is."
I thought to myself as I continued to watch him walk around in astonishment.
"Maybe he will be nice, maybe I should talk to him."
I wondered. I walked up to him and asked "Where did you come from?".
He must not have seen me when I walked up to him, because when I talked to him he jumped a bit.
He spun around and said "I'm from the forest, the Great Deku Tree sent me to see Princess Zelda."
He sounded very proud of this 'Deku Tree', but I didn't know what that was.
"I don't know what a Great Deku Tree is," I told him "but Princess Zelda is in the castle over there."
I turned to face the castle and pointed in its direction to tell him which way to go. "Thank you for helping me, you have very nice eyes."
He ran across the town to the Castle.I felt very happy when he said I had nice eyes, my golden eyes had always scared people.
I was so focused on the compliment he gave me that I forgot to tell him there were guards everywhere. I ran to catch up with him. He was standing beside a large tree, looking puzzled. When he saw me, he smiled a bit and walked towards me.
" I can't get in" he sounded upset "There are big people that Navi told me are called guards. They won't let me in."
He looked down to the ground, looking rather sad. "Who's Navi?" I asked him.
This time, the little white fairy spoke. "That would be me!" She said in a high pitch voice. "I'm Links fairy, my job is to help him on his journey."
"Your name is Link?" I asked the boy. He nodded and asked me for my name. " My name is Avyera." I told him.
He looked at me and said "Avyera, can you tell me how to get to Princess Zelda?"
I thought very hard about this, I wanted to help him, he was nice. I looked around the trail we were on. I saw some vines growing on the side of a hill. It looked like I could use that as a rope, so I climbed it. On top I could see that there was a way to get past the gate and maybe avoid the guards. When I climbed back down, Link was staring at me, wondering if I was going to answer his question.
"If you can climb that vine over there, you can get past the gate." I told him, feeling very smart at the moment. "There will be more guards over the gate, so be careful."
He smiled at me and started to climb the vine. when he reached the top he thanked me for my help and ran off.
I liked this Link boy. He was very nice to me. Nobody was nice to me. I felt like he knew how I felt, I think maybe he felt as alone and lost and out of place as I did. Seeing that confused yet curious look on his face reminded me of myself. That's why I like this Link boy.
