Many thanks to Hylian Knight (guest) and Katia0203for reviewing as well as any who read it!
Yay chapter two! I think I'm going to keep the chapters kind of shorter then my other story. This chapter follows Hylia.
Forgot to say this last time, but I don't own The Legend of Zelda or anything related to this franchise. The only part I own is my theories of how the great legend came to be. :)
Hylia left the prison cell in a small flash of light and found the loftwing she had been riding before still on the roof of the building. Hopefully its bright crimson feathers hadn't attracted too much attention. She hopped onto its back and took off for her home in the sky while being careful not to be seen.
She sighed when she thought of the man Link. He seemed like such a good person yet he was tormented by nearly everyone, she found herself quite attached to this young man despite only meeting him once. Hylia knew she was going to get grief from Nayru, Din and Farore later about this. Though they usually tried to be accepting of her attachment to the mortals below, occasionally she would get too attached and her sisters would get very upset. To make matters worse she had promised to return again and talk more. She would never hear the end of it now.
Though she hated to admit it, she was kind of obsessed with the man. For several months now, she had been watching over him. It all started when he had begun showing up in her dreams. She had dreamt that the world of mortals was being over taken by an evil force and she was sent by her sisters to save it. There she had found a brave young soldier who was willing to fight. The soldier of her dreams happened to look just like a young man named Link who was currently in the country's army. Knowing that her dreams were often prophetic, Hylia had begun observing him and occasionally visiting him at night in his sleep. It was only a few weeks ago however that she had become concerned. Link had begun to have dreams similar to the ones she had; the dreams clearly had upset him as much as they did her as well. One day he had told a superior officer of his concerns which began this ongoing tormenting which had landed him in prison, wrongly convicted of harming others. One thing was for sure though, others may not believe on him, but she sure did.
Hylia spent the day avoiding her sisters and when night had fallen again, she went to see the man again. Just as before, he was fast asleep so she sat next to him where he lay on the floor, covered in several new bruises and lacerations. Quickly she worked to heal the wounds without waking him. Thankfully, she was successful and returned to watching him.
The gentle rise and fall of his chest made her so tired that she began to dose off by his side, only waking when she heard heavy footsteps coming down the hall. Thinking fast, she rendered herself invisible with a small flash of light just as the guard looked into the cell. Satisfied that no one was in there but the intended prisoner, the guard walked away and back up the set of stairs just outside Link's door. Hylia took her place at Link's side once more and noticed that his breathing was becoming more rapid and she heard his heartbeat pick up. The man soon started tossing and turning as is fighting off some sort of creature. Hylia knew she had to wake him up before he drew the guard back down there and put her hands on his shoulders to keep him still. Holding him in a firm grip, she shook him slightly. This woke him up and he jumped up, ready to fight. "It's just me," she whispered, "No need to be upset."
Upon hearing her voice, Link settled down. "You're back." He whispered. "Do you know what's wrong with me? Earlier, you said you would answer my questions."
She sighed, " I will answer them in a minute, first I would like to formally introduce myself. Seeing as how you miraculously have not discovered who I am yet, I am the goddess Hylia." She fought back a smile when the man's jaw nearly dropped to the floor. "See, I told you I'm no ordinary Hylian." Hylia laughed.
"Show me proof." Link said. "I am an avid believer in you and the other goddesses, but how do I know you are not just an imposter? Throughout my life, I have met quite a few fakes claiming to have been 'touched by the goddesses' or even be one themselves."
"What more proof do you need? You have seen my magic and even said yourself that no ordinary Hylian could wield such powers." She said; as if to further show that she really was the goddess Hylia, she whispered something to herself and almost instantly, they were transported to a silent realm.
Link immediately gasped and looked around, taking in the endless sky. There was also water pooling around their feet. It was even several inches deep but Link never felt the liquid on his bare feet. "I- I'm sorry I ever doubted you, Your grace."
"That's fine," she said, "Everyone should be cautious when meeting a stranger. Now, what questions did you have?"
Link thought for a minute. "Why do I keep having these dreams, Your Grace?"
Hylia froze; she had been wondering the same thing herself. "Umm, I am unsure myself. If I don't mind sounding strange, I have been observing you for quite some time now. And please, just call me Hylia; I don't like so much formality amongst friends."
Link interjected, "What exactly do you mean by observing me? I haven't seen any one following me."
"Well…" Hylia trailed off, not sure how to phrase her thoughts. "I've just kind of been following you from the shadows."
"But why?"
"Several months ago, I had a dream, much like the ones you have been having." Link nodded in understanding. "In my dreams though, the one who saved the world of destruction looked a lot like you. I never realized this until I passed by you one day on the street and that was when I began following you. I'm only concerned about this because my dreams are much too often prophetic, and for something like that to happen, I'd like someone else who knows what they're doing to help me. Besides, I am absolutely positive you would be the best choice for such a task. I have witnessed your strength and bravery." Hylia finished.
Link gave her a reassuring nod, "If such a situation arises, I will be there." He said with a bow, causing her heart to beat slightly quicker than normal. "Now how do we get out of here?" he asked.
Hylia took his wrist gently and whispered another spell which brought them back to the dingy prison cell once more. As Hylia was about to leave, Link quickly grabbed her hand and kissed it gently. "A fair day to you Your Grace." He whispered, in a chivalrous fashion. She swore she felt her heart skip a beat as she gazed into his eyes. No, this could not happen, ever. She shouldn't have feelings for him; it would only lead to disaster. But still, she couldn't help but hope. After all, though she was a goddess, she was still a teenage girl at heart.
So this dude is in my English class again this year and he kinda looks like Skyward Sword Link and today, he just had to wear a green shirt and tan shorts while I was ironically wearing Link cosplay boots… oh the awkwardness. My friend said I should've taken off my shoes and demanded he wear them… first of all that's kinda creepy and second, neither me nor any other fangirl could do that without horrible fangasms.
