Even though you are the one I love has only one reviewer, they expect me to update this. I made a mistake on the last chapter. This could be the alternate version to "Together Again" but then again, I posted one before the other and another title came to my mind. Oh well.
Silver Ears- Thanks! I'm glad it caught your interest. Also, I do this every chapter. I always respond to my reviews!
-In my head-
The noisy market hadn't changed much. There were more stores, people selling chickens, and a mailbox but the people still acted in the same way. The smell of food filled the air. Dark was sure getting hungry. Lucky, he had some rupees and bought a piece of bread, as he ate it, he looked toward the castle with one thought.
"Please give him that letter."
-Scene change-
The princess sat in her throne, eagerly awaiting the newest engineer. It had been such a long time since they had one! She glanced at the letter the man gave her earlier. What was so important about it? She saw it in his eyes; the letter was important to him and had to be delivered. Whatever the reason, it might break his heart to know she didn't give it.
"I wonder when the new engineer is coming."
-Scene change-
Link stood proudly at the station. His training had paid off. He easily managed to drive a train to Hyrule Castle town, where others had failed. His master was very proud of his student. As Link walked into the market, the delicious smell of food entered his nostrils. He suddenly remembered he hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and that he had brought no money. Why didn't he bring money?
Suddenly a boy with black hair and red eyes appeared before him. It was strange; the boy looked exactly like him, and he didn't remember having a twin. The boy looked at him eagerly.
"Are you hungry?" he asked, in the way a mother would do.
"Yes, I didn't eat breakfast. Master Alfonzo said we were going to be late if I ate."
"What a terrible thing to do! Princess Zelda will wait for you."
"That's just the thing- he says you shouldn't keep royalty waiting."
"He should have at least given a piece of bread. Tell you what; I'll give you some of mine."
Before Link could protest, the boy produced a sandwich and placed it into Link's hand. He signed for Link to eat it, but he was unsure. This was his sandwich after all. The boy shoke his head and told him to eat it. Gratefully, Link did.
"Thanks for the sandwich!" Link happily cried.
"Of course. Anything for my master." The boy said with a large grin.
"Master, what?-"
The boy vanished into thin air in front of him. He looked all over and couldn't find him anywhere. The boy must have been an apparition or something. He finished the rest of his sandwich and made his way to the castle, unaware of the same boy watching him from afar.
Sadly, the boy sighed. "I promise, Link, that this time, I won't let you go."
-Scene change-
The trumpet song was played and could be heard from Zelda's quarters. The engineer had come. Quickly brushing her hair, Zelda went out the door to her throne room. As the guards quickly bowed down to her, she glanced at the new engineer. He was cute. And shy. He must have never been to court, she supposed, but that was understandable. He had come from a village, after all.
She stood in front of him and he raised his head. She giggled a bit and his face was as red as a tomato. That was completely understandable too, she thought.
"Your name is?"
"Link, your highness." So this is the one.
"Link, with my permission, I grant you your-"
"Just hurry! And you little urchin, don't raise your head up without permission!" chancellor Cole yelled. He was getting annoying.
"Excuse me! I am in the middle of the ceremony! Do not interrupt me!" Zelda spoke sternly. "Don't worry, Link. He's always like this. Now as I was saying. I grant you your engineer certificate! May you serve our country well?"
When he stood up, she quickly whispered, "Take this two letters and come to my chambers. Speak of this to no one." Then she smiled and left for her quarters. Link was the only able to help her, she knew it.
-Scene change-
Link read both of the letters. The first was from princess Zelda herself, giving him a map about where to go and asking for his help. The second one she had given to him was personal…
My dearest Link,
It saddens me greatly that you may not remember me. I do not blame you, though. After years of searching, I found you again. Just I found you in the Water Temple so long ago. Do you still remember? Probably not, but please try. I hope this letter reaches you. I love you.
Always your loyal servant,
Dark
The letter was heart touching at best. The boy that called him Master… must be the same one who wrote this letter, Link realized. Thinking about it, all he remembered about this "Water Temple" was that it was filled with water, annoying and freezing. He strangely remembered a kiss. Link decided it was best not to dwell upon such things and made his way to Zelda.
-Time skip + scene change-
Link found Zelda playing a lovely melody upon a pan flute. She was interested in music? Classy for a princess. She stopped playing when she noticed he was there. She said hi and asked a couple questions while gently putting her flute on its rack.
"Link, there is something I must discuss with you," she said as she climbed onto of her desk and sat.
"Have you heard the reports on the tracks? Some are disappearing out of nowhere, and for no apparent reason. I am the princess, and as such, I must find the underlying cause of this. Chancellor Cole keeps me locked up here with no reason. I know something's going on. Will you help me?"
"Yes, your highness."
"Don't forget me!" the boy Link had seen earlier appeared again and seemingly from the shadows! Link had never seen something like before. This is the reason he couldn't find him anywhere? Because he was hiding in the shadows?
Zelda giggled. "Oh, why if it isn't Sir Dark! I didn't you know you where a shadow being!
"That I am your highness, which I am. Oh, Link. Such a pleasure to see you around as well."
"I got your letter." Link said shyly.
"You did? That's wonderful!" and Dark gave Link a chaste kiss that left Link's lips tingling.
"Let's down to business boys."
Cliffhanger, I suppose. For the ones who haven't played the game. I used the "Master/servant" thing again. I think it suits them. For my wind waker and phantom hourglass, they will be equals.
