Chapter 2 –A little change-
A.N.- okay! first thing's first, Serena's name is pronounced Sir-rEEn-a. A quick question, Should Link's new name be spelled Raevyn or just Raven? And the requipping ability is something i got from my favorite anime Fairytail. :D Serena will explain it in another chapter, but if you want to know just go and watch episode 6 of Fairytail for an accurate description on requipping (the explamation is around 12:00 in the vid). I'm going to make up a few things for requipping. So yeah… okay back to the story.
Serena opened the door to her little house. It creaked a little and she made a little note to herself to oil the hinges later. She set the hero down slowly and put the oh so heavy overstuffed bag leaning on the wall. She paused for a minute, staring at her find.
"Your pretty light for a guy.." She said to the unconscious teen. He didn't utter a sound. Serena just shrugged to herself for no apparent reason and went into the only bedroom in her house. She requipped her slightly torn clothes for a fresh new outfit in her drawer, and sighed.
'what to do, when he wakes up..' she thought. 'Well, i'd have to explain what happened to him…' She sweat-dropped a little at the thought. 'I'll just improvise.'
She walked into the bathroom to wash her face. 'I can't think of a way to tell him where he is…' She dried her face. 'Guess i'll just stall him. He would need a new identity, can't afford to explain the confusion of the two heros.'
Serena went back to the living room and sat on the couch. She put her head in her hands as she thought about who Link could be.
'He needs a new name, new clothes…' "clothes.." She said aloud. Link stirred. 'ah! he's waking up!' She looked around frantically and decided to hide. It would be a bit weird for him to have the first thing he see's be her. While in hiding she scanned through the clothes in her requipping storage.
The Hylian finally started to open his eyes'. He had been out for a few hours and it was now midday. He sat up rubbing the bump made by whoever attacked him. He looked at his surroundings; A simple living room with wooden furniture. There was a sofa on the other side of the room. He was on the floor.
"ah, so the sleeping beauty wakes" a voice said sarcastically. Link turned to see a girl, who seems to be a little bit younger than himself, standing in the hallway. She was just a little shorter than he was, with ink black hair.
"What happened?" Link asked. The girl took a breath as if to recite something.
"You were attacked by some bulbins. Knocked out. I found you and brought you here." She said flatly. Her light purple eyes concealed it well.
"thank you…" For some reason he didn't completely believe her story "Who are you?" Link asked. He got up from the floor and started dusting himself off.
"Serena." She said. Serena walked further into the room. "And you are?"
"Link."
"Link, huh…" Her face was blank in a silly kind of way. "Well." She pulled some clothes from somewhere behind her back. "No one dressed like that around here so put this on."
"w-what?" Link said surprised. "Why? I like my clothes."
"You…" Her voice trailed off like she forgot something. "This place is different from where you're from, You'd bring too much attention looking like that.."
"Oh.. okay" He said sweat dropping. He took the clothes from her hands.
"And you got to change your name." she added.
"What? Why-"
"No one goes by a name like Link here." She pushed him into the hallway.
"But.. I like my name!" Link said suddenly getting angered.
"I don't care! change it!" She hollered back at him. She brought him into a simple bedroom. It wasn't small but it sure wasn't large.
"To what?" Link narrowed his eyes at her. He was still holding the clothes in his arms.
"Raven" She stuck her tongue out at him like a child and closed the door.
"…" Link sighed. 'That girl is strange' he thought.'just met me and is telling me to change my name and clothes. then again she did help me… i think' He took a look around the room. A brown green patterned bed, A long mirror in the corner, A dresser and a drawer on one side of the room and a window on the other. He looked at the clothes in his arms one more time before trying them on.
Meanwhile, Serena was in the living room looking through Link/Raven's bag.
"wow he has so much stuff in here." she muttered. She later found the masks and started to try them on. "haha this one's funny" She had the stone mask on.
'i wonder if it was a good idea to name him after one of his own descendents…' she thought. 'ah well, it fits him.' Serena took off the mask.
She heard the door to the bedroom Link was in and quickly stuffed the masks back in the bag, zipped it up and walked a good distance away from it.
Link entered the room with the clothes she gave him. A blue shirt with a thin worn out tan over shirt, brown boots. and dirt brown pants tucked into the boots.
"wow it looks nice on you." She smiled but that smile disappeared when Raven put on his green hat. "what are you doing/
"putting on my hat" Raven blinked.
"You can't wear that."
"why?"
"you-… you just can't." The hat would definitely tip people off.
"This is my hat. and i want to wear it."
"The whole point to changing your clothes and your name is so that you don't attract attention." And so you don't look like the hero now… Serena added in her thoughts.
"You can change my clothes and name but let me keep my hat!" His hat was his trade mark and has been with him since day one. He was obviously not going to take no for an answer. And Serena couldn't take no either. So they just stood there glaring each other down.
A full minute of silence passed until Serena finally said something.
"fine. you can wear your hat if you have to." she took his hat, folded it in half and tied it around his wrist. "Wear it like this." She then went outside. Raven followed her.
"… i guess this ok." He sighed. "Where am i?" Serena stopped dead in her tracks.
'oh my goddesses! I can't tell him this is Hyrule… not yet at least.' She thought. What she didn't think of was a fake name for hyrule, so she just continued walking.
"HEY! i know you heard me." Raven yelled. Serena's face tensed but she kept walking. She was already 5 yards ahead of him. "grr wait up!" He dashed to catch up to her. He looked back and saw that her house was small and cabin like. It looked like it contained only 4 rooms. When Raven turned back to face Serena she was already over the hill. A few minutes later he had caught up to her, only because she stopped to fix the strap on her boots.
"What part of wait up do you not understand?"
"When i have to intentionally stand in place doing nothing." She pointed to the castle in the distance. "We're heading there to get a few things." Link looked at the white and blue castle. There was a town at its feet it much like his castle back home. He drew his attention back to Serena who had put a good distance between them.
Raven shrugged it off, tired of arguing. The bump was throbbing. His hands went to his pockets and was surpassed to find something in it. He took it out and it turned out to be a wooden ocarina. It was carefully crafted with a few carvings on it. The most noticeable one was the one in the same spot the triforce was on his ocarina. The crest was a a teardrop in the middle of some wings surrounded by a few triangles.
He walked while examining the instrument, trying to keep up with Serena's pace. It was hand crafted, thin, lightweight. He didn't even notice it when he was changing clothes.
'I wonder how it sounds.' Raven thought, already putting it to his lips. He played the song the scarecrow's song that he had made up. Serena stopped for a moment cursing in her mind for leaving her ocarina in there but decided that it was harmless, that is before he started playing Epona's song.
She turned around, grabbed Link's hand, and bolted towards the Castle. 'he just HAD to play that, didn't he.' She was practically dragging him now. whether Link had said something or not Serena didn't hear. She just had to get to castle town and beat that oh so loyal horse.
