It was early in the morning when it came...or was it late at night? I don't know, but I was sleeping when it happened.
Uncle Alfon gently nudges me awake. I rub my tired blue eyes and look up; he is holding it. If you don't know what 'it' is, which you most likely don't, I will tell you. It was a note.
"What kind of note?" you may ask.
Well, let's just say it was a very good one for a boy like me. I am a very poor boy who can't afford to go to school so I am taught at home by my uncle. I know this might sound crazy, but, I never knew my parents or if I have siblings. My life has just been crazy this years I've lived. I only know my uncle and that is good enough for me. My name...is Link. Okay, so back to the note.
My uncle reads it to me out loud, "Dear parents or guardians of Link Rinku, I would like to inform you that your son or daughter, Link Rinku, has been selected as one of the few kids to join Hyrule's best knight academy. Your son or daughter, Link Rinku, must travel by train to our boarding school at sunrise, thank you and have a nice day."
"Wow, when is that?!" I ask, trying to brush my blonde hair down and put my little green cap on.
Uncle Alfon doesn't answer, he just sniffles and tries to hold back tears. Apparently this has made him very sad.
"Link, I really will miss you... I never had to see you leave before," Uncle Alfon says with his mustache drooping.
"Uncle Alfon, I think you have been around me too long, considering the fact that you still help me bathe... Don't you trust me?" I ask my uncle.
"Ah, Link, you're right... Link, my one and only nephew, I shall miss you, but I know you will do great out there," my uncle says, ruffling my hair.
"Thank you Uncle Alfon, I will come back and visit you!" I call out as I run out the front door to the train station, alone.
