Link was done for the day at the ranch and he took Epona down to the village and there was Llia with the rest of the town without the children this time. It was all the adults and they were worried about their safety and their children; which was understandable. Link sat down at the tables in the village with everyone else as they voiced their options on this and talked everything out, listening to Link and Link doing the same.
By the end of the talk it was night fall and they had come to agreement that they would all meet the Zora tonight see how he was like and then make their choice. Link had left the group there and he walked up to his house and went inside not seeing the other there. "Is he still out?" He wondered as he walked to the forest and he went into the springs first because it was the nearest water source. He stood at the edge of the small spring not seeing much but then saw the others wrap catching his eye and he knew he had to be around. He walked into the water without his shoes on and his pants rolled up to his ankles as the water barely covered his feet. Link poked his head over the little dip and saw the other under water just lying there. He wasn't moving which worried Link at first before he remembered Hubble was a Zora he could breathe under water. He reached into the water and tapped the others arm softly causing Hubble to open his eyes and look up seeing Link above him and it was night time.
Hubble came up and crawled up on to the land Link was on and stood up looking down at the other as he was taller than Link. "My village wanted to meet with you." He told Hubble with a small smile hoping it would make the other feel a bit more welcomed. He knew the people wouldn't treat him like a monster if Link didn't and would give him a chance hopefully. "Alright." He nodded and went over to get his bandage thou he was still wet he still had it. Link looked at his side and saw it was already healing.
"How long were you in there?" He asked as he started to walk back to shore and put his shoes back on. "It was morning last time I checked." He admitted and Link nodded as he walked along the path. "That spring is protected you know, it is protected by the light." Link told him gently as he looked back at the other as he walked to his house but kept on walking and Hubble followed him. "It heals who is in it and heart is not filled with darkness." Link went on about the spring and looked back at him and smiled softly. "It looks like you aren't that evil after all." He smiled even more at him and Hubble didn't say anything his eyes said it all thou.
Hubble was a bit confused by that spring now, he felt the power coming from the water when he first stepped into it. He knew there had to be something powering that spring, something spiritual. Hubble was a bit confused about himself now, because he always saw himself as a monster, and the fact that this human didn't see Hubble as one made him a bit confused.
Link walked into the village it was light enough to see and Link showed him the lake that he was free to swim around in once he was healed up and was strong enough to. Link walked up to the group of adults and he stepped aside letting Hubble join in and he stood there tall and a bit proud as well but his face was blank as he looked over the humans. "I am Hubble." He said monotony and unsure how to greet humans or even interact with them.
"Welcome to our village we are more than welcome to have you if can promise us you won't cause this little village any harm." The mayor of the village said. "There are children in this village and we just want to make sure they are safe. We don't want to judge you on your race or what kind of Zora you may be." Uli a female human who's voice was softer and gentler then the others humans, she was also large in the stomach and didn't look like she was just over weight he wondered why she looked like that.
"It's different to hear these words from human's lips." Hubble said with a bit of anger in his voice. "My whole life I was raised with humans being selfish creatures and hating us and would never accept us." He told them and they all frowned at that. "But I have always wondered if that was true, I promise not to hurt you if you do not threaten me." He told them and they all nodded. It seems they could agree on that. You don't hurt the other and everyone will be fine kind of thing. "We are all family here." Uli told Hubble with a small smile on her lips just looking tired was all. "We all help each other out around here and all do the work we can. We would like for you to be part of our family as long as you are here." She told him. "Yes!" Rusl agreed with his wife and he was sitting next to her holding her hand and Hubble looked over the group, it seems they were all paired up together.
"Alright." Hubble agreed and everyone nodded as well some smiling welcoming Hubble others just going off to go to sleep it didn't bother Hubble either way. Link soon said goodnight to everyone and he took Hubble back to his house so they could both get some sleep. "Tomorrow I will be going out to the field." He told Hubble as he walked into his house and started the small fire for the night. "Would you like to come?" He asked. Hubble took a sit in the sit he sat in this morning thinking over the offer. "Sure." He told Link thinking he might as well get to see this country while he could, plus the two could get to know each other as well.
Thank you again for the review, it was nice to know that me actually proof reading helps.
As for the whole thing with Hubble wondering why Uli had a larger stomach, I like to see Zora as fish more then anything. I like to think that they lay the eggs and they they kind of hatch like fish do! Even if that's wrong I am sorry I like to look at it that way and will be keeping it that way. Hope you don't mind that.
Please review if you wish to do so and hope you keep on reading!
