Child of the Desert Rose
Sabira glanced at the sun.
"Five more minutes." Sabira really got into her painting of her home, the Gerudo Fortress. She added little details here and there, and began to sketch the guards that walked around the fortress. She glanced at the sun again. Sabira rushed out of her room and hopped onto her horse, Phoenix. She galloped all the way to the archery course.
Sabira jumped off Phoenix and into line with the other girls. Luckily, the instructor had her back turned.
"We Gerudos are proud of our ability to shoot with percision while on horseback. All of you have learned horseback archery. But, you need to master your skills. Practice makes perfect." The instuctor reached Sabira. She turned to face her.
"Ah, Sabira, nice to see that you've decided to join us." Sabira lowered her head. The instructor lowered her voice.
"Sabira, this is the third time this week that you've been late for your horseback archery lesson. I have no choice but to send you to Nabooru."
"No! Please don't."
"I have to. But, I won't send you until the end of the lesson."
"Yes ma'am."
*****
Sabira mounted Phoenix. She drew her bow and urged Phoenix to a gallop. Sabira hit nearly every target. At the end of the course, Sabira dismounted Phoenix.
"Great job, Sabbie!" While everyone else practiced, the instuctor walked over to Sabira.
"Why were you late today?"
"Because I could be."
"Sabira."
"Why do you think?"
"You were painting again, weren't you?"
"So?"
"What do mean, 'so?'" Sabira rolled her eyes.
"Sabira, you get too caught up in our own world to notice that there is another world out there besides yours."
"You call this a world?" Sabira asked, waving her arm across the view of the fortress.
"This is barely a village." Sabira ran over to one of the walls of the fortress and scaled it.
She stood on the top of the wall and looked out over Hyrule.
"This," she yelled, waving her arm out over the view of Hyrule, "is a world!"
"Sabira get down from there!" the instrutor yelled. Sabira jumped down and landed on her feet. She walked over to the instrutor.
"There is so much more out there than this shit hole."
"Sabira," the instructor said, sighing, "you don't know what you have. And you're not going to realize what you have until it's too late."
"Very insightful," Sabira said sarcastically. "Can I go now?"
"I think it's best if you do." Sabira trudged down to Nabooru's room.
*****
Nabooru walked through the gate. A guard walked up to her.
"Nabby, there's someone in your room."
"It's not."
"Yes."
*****
Nabooru walked into her room. Sabira was sitting on Nabooru's bed.
"Sabira, I'm very disappointed in you."
"What else is new?"
"I'm serious. This is this fourth time you've been sent to me for getting in trouble in the past month. What did you do this time?"
"Nothing."
"Sabira."
"I was late."
"And?"
"What do mean 'and?' Why do you automatically assume that there's something else?"
"Because I know."
"I talked back to my instructor. But it's my opinion! If it was any other girl, they wouldn't have sent her to you. They treat me harsher than everyone else."
"Sabira, you know that's not true."
"How do you know?" Sabira yelled. "I try my damndest to live up to their expectations, but, you know, I can't. So they punish me for it."
"Sabira, they do not. You think that you're always in the right, but sometimes you're not. You.you.I don't know what to say."
"Good. It's better that way."
"Sabira!"
"It's the truth.
"Sabira, you are-"
"Mom! Don't tell me what I am. I already know. I've heard it a million times. You don't know how hard it is for me. I am the daughter of the leader of the Gerudos. I have to live in your shadow. Everything I do is under watch by somebody. Goddessess, I would do anything to be like you. But I can't do that. I want everything, but if you want everything, you'll end up with nothing. As much as you and everyone else want it, I can't be like you."
"Sabira, it's not like that. I know you're hurting-"
"No, Mom, you don't know! You'll never know how I feel!" With that, Sabira ran out to her room.
*****
Daliru, Sabira's worst enemy, walked over up to Nabooru.
"Your daughter's a fiesty one." Nabooru rolled her eyes.
"Daliru, shouldn't you be at your lessons?"
"No. They just let out. You know, you deserve better than her."
"Daliru! How dare you say things like that! Sabira will lead you one day, so you will respect her!" Nabooru walked off. Daliru gritted her teeth.
"No, she won't."
