Ruby's Point of View

All I can see is blue. I'm puzzled as to why I'm lying beneath an open sky. I can remember Mackenzie, Nick and I looking at a door... That's it! The tunnel! But how could I fall off a cliff underground and end up laying on grass looking at a sky?

I tried to get up but a wave of nausea forces me back down.

"Ohhhhh," I groan.

I feel a pain in my wrist and look down. Shoot, there is a bump in my wrist that wasn't there before.

"Probably sprained," I mutter to myself looking around to see if Mackenzie and Nick are there. They aren't. I turn around and my breath catches in my throat. All around me is luscious, green grass stretching over to a forest. To my right is a...a...castle? I leap to my feet and run to the top of the hill I'm on. From the top I can see the castle clearly.

"Wow! It looks exactly like Hyrule Castle from Ocarina Of Time," I say aloud. "Hmm...come to think about it this whole place looks like Ocarina Of Time Hyrule Field."

'Suspicious,' I think, 'but if I am in Hyrule...' my thoughts trail off as I see something over where I came from. I turn and try to run back down the hill but, being me, I trip a quarter of the way down and roll, landing at the bottom of the hill on my face. I scramble up and see a figure under a blanket.

"OMS!" I shriek because wh wouldn't if they saw someone who was suppposed to be a video game character?

"Ow! Ow! Ow!" I am still staring at the Ocarina Of Time look-alike when my wrist decides to remind me that it hurts. I am hopping up and down with the pain when I hear someone say, "Looks like you're finally awake," with amusement turning to worry. "You okay?"

'What does it look like?' I want to yell, but all I can manage is "No," with clenched teeth.

I watch him as he rummages around in a bag and finally pulls out a glass bottle with red liquid in it.

'I bet that's red potion...wonder how it tastes?' I think to myself.

"Here, drink this."

He hands me the bottle. The pain has subsided to a dull throb. I sniff the potion and nearly gag! The Link look-alike looks amused.

"Well, if you want to fix your wrist you'll drink it," he suggests.

'I know I am going to regret this,' I think but I force myself to drink the foul smelling potion. As soon as it touches my lips I want to spit it out. 'This is worse than cough medicine,' I think, but I force myself to swallow it. I cautiously flex my wrist and am happy, if slightly surprised, to find it's fine!

"It worked!" I exclaim.

"Of course it did," Link look-alike answers.

Now that I am not in pain I can finally focus on him. Green hat, green tunic, boots, tights, blond hair and blue eyes...yup! Just like the Ocarina Of Time character.

"What's your name?" the Link wannabe questions.

I quickly look away realizing I have been staring.

"I'm..." I trail away. Hmm...what should I call myself? Ah! I choose the name that I wish was my real name.

"I'm Ruby Rain," I state emphatically.

"I'm...

"Link! The hero of time!" I exclaim finishing his sentence.

Link gave a wry smile.

"Yep! That's me," he sighs.

"Something wrong?" I ask.

"Oh nothing. It's just that I hate when people address me by my title.

"Oh," I say.

I admit, I'm curious. I mean, I'd love to be a hero. People always look up to a hero and, being the height I am, people usually look down on me.

"Would you like me to take you to the nearest village?" Links voice breaks into my thoughts.

"Oh...ah, sure," I stutter.

My thoughts are racing! 'I get to travel with Link! Yes!'

"First we should travel to LonLon Ranch to get you a horse."

'I get a Hylian horse? Yes!'

Once Link is done packing up, we start walking in what I assume is the direction of LonLon Ranch. As I am walking along in Link's company a thought comes to mind, 'What if I can never get home?'
