Oshen Ukhar

Love Revealed

Now it has been fourteen years since my mother's death and there has not been a day when I do not think of her and how my life would have differed if she were alive today. Today was going to be fun my friends Nicole, the Hylian girl whom my mother helped when she was 2 who is now 17, Maiku Ruto a 16 year old Zoran girl I knew since the third grade and my "close friend" Bay Yari, 16 like me, who I have been dating for three months, secretly of course cause Bay Yari is a guy as am I, if anyone knew of it we would be exiled, or even killed, and I were going to a concert.

I met Bay Yari at a Zora shop in the lost wood by the passage to Zora's river. I was there to buy my father a bomb to get rid of the stubborn Skultula's, and I had to get my niece in Termina a present for her birthday, I needed some more arrows and a Deku seed as well. So I went to the Zora shop and ordered the items I was told they were out of stock so had to come back and when I did come back the owner was not there but his 16 year old son was, and he was cute too. I gave him my rain check and he collected the items and then he told me it would be 150 rupees so I counted out the rupees and while doing so I decided to get to know him.

"So you like working at your dad's shop?" I asked

"It is a living, and I get to meet so many different people just last week a Gerudo came in looking for Bombichu's but we never sell those so I had to tell her to go to Hyrule Market, and after I did she started to hit on me, the whole time I was thinking "ew", a Gerudo girl hitting on me, "that is just ew." he replied

"Yeah I know but some of the Gerudo's are real nice you know"

"True they are but I mean she was hitting on me, I mean come on I think she was a little crazy to think a Zora and Gerudo could date." He replied with a laugh

"Well it could happen but I think I will never marry because I am just different. I mean, I just think I am not like everyone else and I might be the only Zora who is this way." I said with a sense of freedom.

"I know exactly what you're going through, by the way my name is Bay Yari (Blessed Hope), and yours?" he asked

"Oh, I am Oshen Ukhar, pleased to meet you. Now how would you know exactly what I mean by me being different?" I was curious what he thought I meant by it.

"Well this is not the first time I saw you and I have to say I have noticed the way you look at other male Zora's and I have to say I do the same thing. I was afraid that I was going to never find another Zora who felt the same way as me and then I saw you. I also noticed the girls you always hang around and I have watched you shop till you drop so I just figured you and I liked the same thing." he said with a little blush

"Well, I never knew I was being watched, and well you guessed right I think I am what the Hylians call gay." I said blushing back.

"Well I know I am" Bay Yari replied, "I have dated a Hylian guy but it was just not the same he was just too different from me so I figured I would either continue to feel awkward or be single so I decided to remain single, until I saw you then I thought maybe he is the same way as me and maybe we would become friends. Well look at us now telling each other our brief life stories and well, Oshen Ukhar, I have a question, I don't work this Friday and if you are available I was wondering if you would like to go on a date?" he said very nervously.

"Well, um, Bay Yari, I would love to but where could we meet and go without being seen by everyone else and being banished?" I answered back holding back a nervous voice change.

"We could make it like more of a friend outing because I do know that there are places in these woods that are secluded like just around the corner form here there is little grassy area that no one ever goes in and so we could have a starlit dinner there, maybe?" he said excitedly

"Sure, shall we say this Friday at 7:00 pm meet there?" I answered back with a smile.

"Okay, see you then." he said as I walked out with my purchases.

And that is how we met and from that Friday night we have been dating ever since.

Now as I said today would be the best day of my life to date, the four of us are going to a Gerudo concert, of the Gerudo band called Desert Bandits; they are like my favorite band around. So Bay Yari bought all the tickets with his earnings from working at his dad's shop. We met at 7:00 am to head over to Lake Hylia where they got special permission by King Zora Himself to play on the island above the Water Temple., the place of my mother's death, though it was hard for me to go to the Water temple I did anyways to visit my mother's favorite spot at the lake, the island where Link the hero of time got the Fire Arrow. On top of all the feelings of joy and sadness I was having today I was also excited because Bay Yari said he has special seats for the concert and he was thinking f me when he got them. We gave our tickets and the usher escorted the 4 of us over to a magic bean plant and told the four of us to step on, as we did so we were lifted and carried over the water right to the little island where the hero of time got the Fire Arrow, my mom's favorite spot as well. I was in tears and I gave Bay Yari a hug while, Nicole and Maiku Ruto were looking the other way and I thanked him, and told him I will thank him more later, then I took my seat next to Maiku Ruto and Nicole and waited for the concert to start.

"That was awesome!" I said to Nicole after the concert ended

"Yeah it was." she answered back and hurried off to catch up with some other Hylians she new, Maiku Ruto had already walked off with Uriake Uba the guy she fancies, so it was just me and the sweetest guy in all of Hyrule, Bay Yari. "Thanks for the tickets and the special seats" I said as we dove below the surface of Lake Hylia, we decided that the girls would get back home on their own so we took the short cut to Zora's domain. Once we entered the domain we told each that we would meet in our spot (the place where we had our first date) in 20 minutes.

I rushed home to get changed "Hey dad I am going to go to Nicole's to watch a movie okay?" I called

"Okay be home by 1 am" he yelled back

"I will." I said as I walked out the door.

Little did I know that I would be back a lot sooner, it was 11 pm right now and I had two hours to spend with my boyfriend and no one else? I was so excited. As I walked through the hidden entrance to 'our' spot I saw Bay Yari sitting there waiting, no sooner than I said hello did he come rushing up to me and gave me a big kiss. Gradually we walked back over to the tree stump and sat down staring passionately into each other's eyes. After talking for about 20 minute we sat there starring passionately into each other's eyes. After talking for about 20 minutes, we began to make out. Not paying attention to our surrounding cause we were in our spot or so we thought. After what seemed like forever (in all actuality it was only 20 minutes) I felt a rock hit me in the back, I turned to look and I saw that it was a couple of guys from school, Atha (Sun), Iuza_Imay (Lonely Justice), Kaian(Ferocious), and Wahrrin_Uba( Spotted Fighter) all guys on the water polo team.

"What the hell is this?" Kaian the pack leader yelled when I turned around.

"Um, nothing, nothing at all" I answered.

"The hell it was nothing, you two were making out two men making out! That is not heard of in Zoran's that is a demented Hylian thing, and it is gross!" Wary_uba said angrily

"You two need to pay!" Atha said as he walked over to me grabbing my arms and pulling them behind my back so that Kaian could hit me, and hit me he did first with his fist then with a sharp rock. Meanwhile Bay_Yari was being held by Iuza_Imay, so that Wary_Uba could beat him. After Wary_uba and Kaian had their 'fun' it was the other two's turn and they beat Bay_Yari and me with jagged rocks leaving cuts and bruises all over our bodies.

"Let's take then to my father" Atha told the other three, "as the king he can banish or even kill these freaks"

So unwillingly we were drug from 'our' spot to the royal manor and tossed on the floor in the throne room before the king. And there we lay while Atha told his father what had happened.

"Is this true?" the King asked Bay_Yari

"Yes, but…" he replied but was stopped before he could finish.

"Bring their parents here right now!" the King told two of the Guards

"Yes, your majesty!" and they were off one to fetch my father and one to fetch Bay_Yari's mom and dad.

"Until your parents get here you two are to be under arrest for unethical behavior of a Zora!" and with that we were throw into the dungeon, together, yes but still all battered and bruised.

An hour or so passed then the door opened and the king ordered us out and to the throne room again where our parents were sitting with very angry looks on their faces.

"Bay_Yari! How could you do this to us disgrace us!" his mother yelled furiously.

"Oshen Ukhar after all I have done for us you go and do this to ruin it all!" my dad said angrily.

"Well as you all very well know this has never happened here before though it may be common amongst the Hylians it is a punishable act amongst Zora's, now I could send you two to death but I will not but I am banishing you both as of this moment. You two have 20 minutes to gather your things from home and then you will be escorted out of Zora's Domain for good, you may not live in Zora's river or at Lake Hylia, though you may still gather food from the lake." the King said scornfully.

"Twenty minutes." I said in shock, "how will I tell Maiku Ruto?"

"I will tell her, not exactly what happened but I will tell her." my dad said not looking at me.

After twenty minutes there was a guard at my door he ordered me out and then I saw Bay Yari, he to being marched out of Zora's Domain by an undercover guard. I was glad the guard was undercover so that I was not questioned why I was being escorted out even though I already knew that my friends would find out the truth. Within 5 minutes we were out of Zora's Domain, and walking through Zora's River towards Hyrule field. The sun just rising from its slumber.
