Cleansed With Blood
AT: Yay! A
review!
Mr. Omega: Yeh I can see your point with the Anime link. I couldn't honestly tell ya I haven't watched an anime since… hmmm…. I think 6 years ago. It was right around the time I figured out Dragon Ball Z and Pokemon were getting old, they were fun for a while though.
But either way, don't worry I'll be putting back ground info in just work with me here :D. you get your background info through flashback that'll be strategically placed through out the story. And yeh I really don't want Link to be the same character. I've been reading a ton of fan fiction lately and he's the same in almost all of them. I want Link to be a cold sarcastic guy who's pretty much uncaring to anything but the rupees he earns, and his horse. Keep reviewing me though! I'm an attention whore!
Italics mean flash back or thoughts
The mounted figure appeared from the hollowed out log leading to the Lost Woods. He scanned around looking at the Village in front of them.
"Sani, I honestly tried to hold back but… I so told you so" The figure smiled from beneath his Hood.
Sani lazily poked her head out the figures pocket. She scanned the area then looked up.
"Link, seriously you woke me up for that? I said you wouldn't find it so you would feel challenged and try and find it faster. It's a classic alpha dog tactic. Now if you will excuse me I still have one hour of sleep I need to get or else I'll be the bitchiest bitch you can bitchly imagine. Good night" She retreated into his pocket illuminating his chest yellow for a couple seconds but faded to the previous black color.
"Well I guess I walked into that one…" He thought to himself .Is bitchly even a word though? Link surveyed the village looking for anything different than from when he left all those years ago… He vowed to never come back here again after how he was treated, Especially by Mido. He scowled at the memories that invaded his mind.
A six year old version of Link appeared in his mind as he relived the memory. Inside his tree house he laid in bed as a fairy flew up to him. Link was still asleep shifting about as if having a bad dream. The fairy turned back around to the door.
"Mido I don't want to do this." The fairy talked in a hushed voice toward the door.
"Yes you really do, unless you want to be in the bottle again? Because I could happily oblige." Came the reply.
The fairy gulped hard. "I'm sorry Link…" she silently whispered to her self.
"Link! Wake up!" the fairy yelled.
The blankets rustled around as a head of dirty blond hair came from underneath.
The boy's bright blue eyes registered the fairy and a smile came to his face. He jumped up and sat on his bed.
"The Deku tree requested me to be your new fairy Link! Come with me to the Deku tree we need to make it official!" Brandi said in a faked enthusiasm
"What's your name?" Link asked excitedly as he threw the sheets off himself and onto the bed. He slipped on his shoes as fast he could.
"Brandi, My names Brandi" She replied feeling horrible for what was about to happen to the poor kid.
Link stood up after his boots were on and looked up at her.
"Wow that's weird, that's Mido's fairy's name. This'll be pretty awkward when I see him again…" He replied as he started to the door. The light from outside blinded him for a few seconds. A few seconds too many. Down at the bottom of his ladder were a group of Kokiri assembled with Rocks in their hands. Mido stood at the front.
"I'm sorry Link" Brandi said in a truly apologetic voice.
"Happy Birthday Link!" Mido yelled as he threw the first rock. It connected with him squarely in the gut knocking the wind out of him. The others threw their rocks, Breaking his arm and giving him a concussion. He crumpled to the deck of his house blacking out before Mido could say anything more.
Link snapped out of his thoughts as he remembered where he was
"I guess I owe Saria a visit, at least she was nice to me." He said to no one in particular. He heard someone screaming behind him in the lost woods. Something about and evil man coming to the village… He recognized Mido's voice as he came nearer.
Hmmm evil… I like that. Has a nice ring to it. Ugh wait… Sorry Faeroe.
He turned around as Mido emerged into the scene behind him.
Mido was still screaming till he caught site of Link again.
They stared awkwardly at each other for a while.
"Did you like your swim?" I said at long last with deadly seriousness. I knew Mido hated Water; he had unnatural fear beyond human comprehension for it. I smiled remembering how I tied him to the pillar in the middle of the pond.
"Please sirs don't hurt me!" Mido put his arms up as if surrendering. "Please just don't hurt me or my friends." Motioning to the village.
I looked at him grinning half crookedly.
"You see that's the thing Mido, You don't have any friends, you never did. I could bet my horse and two arms you don't and probably never will. Really, try searching deep into your heart… well actually mind, I sorta forgot you don't that thing most people call a heart, but its ok cause I don't either." I said
"That's not true I have Brandi!" He shouted hurt and desperate.
I looked down into my jacket pocket, it's remarkable what Sani could sleep through…
"Ooooh yes Brandi" I said looking at Brandi she looked at me as if try to tell me I-don't-know-who-you-are-or-how-you-know-me-but-please-leave-me-out-of-this.
"How many times have you put her in a bottle? I mean seriously she stays with you because the Deku tree told her to. I have no doubt in my mind if she were free of you she would be gone before you could turn your head to check her loyalty. And as for your friends…" I laughed a loud at this part "they only decided to join in on your rampages against me because they saw what you did to me and really really didn't want to end up next to me." As I finished my long winded rampage of words he was looking at me with a mixture of confusion, flat out fear and a nice touch of Sorrow. Wait… Sorrow? Through out my rambling Sani decided to wake up. She flew up to my ear and whispered.
"Umm Link you sort of just slipped your Identity, you know I think he caught that that little part, especially seeing as you said me at 3 times…" ugh… Why do I keep talking to this kid? Why can't I just let it go…
"Your… Link?" he stammered with face full of confusion.
I had no idea how to answer that. I could threaten… I could just fess up. Or I could cover myself, saying I was thinking of something else while saying that… no that wouldn't fly as much as I hate this kid he's smart… Well as usual I'm taking Door #1.
"No" I said flatly, "Now I'm losing my patience yet again, and if you'd like I could throw you back in the pond or you can run back into the lost woods. Goddess knows you could use the bath… I said as coldly as possible.
With a face full of fear he ran. Brandi stayed behind. She turned to me
"You really are Link aren't you?"
I took off my hood allowing my Silvery Blue hair and eyes to become visible. I ran a hand through my hair.
"Physically yes, but… that whole area where most people have hearts, you know that part right here?" I pounded my chest to make the point clear. "That little part of me went away after 2 years of this business." I said dead serious. I was being sarcastic and everyone knew but at the same time, I really wasn't kidding.
When I left Hyrule I was youthful, hopeful, energetic and loving life…
After 7 years though I… I saw too much. They say it takes 20 years of peace to make a man but only 20 seconds of war to break one… in this case 17 years but… the saying still applies…
Brandi was still looking at me, in a pleading gaze.
"Please help me; you can talk to the Deku Tree for me! I can't be around Mido anymore! Please! I'm begging you!" she said with the utmost misery in her.
That actually sort of hit me by surprise. It really shouldn't have though; I haven't met a soul here who doesn't like Mido. I looked around; the kids were just getting up and out of their houses. They would notice me soon and start gathering around the mystery visitor.
Brandi was still looking at me.
I felt like I should help her… Now that was a new feeling…Definitely one that doesn't come around often…
"Yeah sure follow me; I guess I should talk to the tree anyways." I said at long last.
"Thank you so much! I know you really don't like me for what I did to you with Mido… But I really want to say I'm sorry, I really had no choice." She said with genuine sorrow.
I felt myself smiling a little as we rode down the hill toward the village. The Kokiri were poking their heads out of their houses with curiosity. I couldn't imagine how many people actually made it to the village. I'm guessing the numbers were close to about 0…now that I think about it I don't they've really even seen horses before either.
I passed the shop riding into the deku tree grove the kokiri's were already gathered in a group pointing and whispering. We entered the huge grove. There in the middle stood the Deku tree huger now than he was 7 years if you could believe it…
"Welcome Link, I knew you'd come back. It was your destiny." The Deku tree said, I always wondered how he talked when his mouth never moved….
"Great Deku tree let me stop you right there, I mean this with all due respect since your one of the few people who kept me going when I was in this hell hole. You know I don't believe in destiny at all, I came back because-
"You felt a calling…" the tree finished for you. "Us normal people usually call that destiny but however it works in your head I have still yet to figure out"
Goddess damn I love this tree. I couldn't help myself from grinning like an idiot, I love sarcasm…
"Well as much as I'd like to say I came back here to see you, you always taught me not to lie… Brandi here doesn't like Mido. I can't blame her and I think you can't either. The kids a straight up asshole. I don't really know how this works but she wants to be free or separated."
The Tree thought on it for a minuet.
"Is this how you really feel Brandi?"
The Fairy timidly shook her head yes. As to reinforce her decision she talked out loud.
"Yes great Deku Tree it really is." She replied with a new confidence in her voice.
"Well Brandi I cant reassign another Kokiri to you, it's against the law of nature. Which means you'll have to bond yourself to another partner that's of non Kokiri blood for you to come back here." The Tree shifted his eyes to me… I think I see where this is going…
Sani, who had been surprisingly quite, for the past hour shrieked with Joy.
She started talking in a speed I really couldn't comprehend to Brandi who actually was able to match her speed. Well they seemed to hit it off pretty well… I didn't hate Brandi, but with two fairy's hovering about, things are definitely not going to be as quite as they used to be.
"Ok I get it you want me to take her." I said resigned "but only under one condition."
The Deku tree responded curiously "Yes link?" although I think he knew what I was about to say.
I smiled a cruel smile.
"You can't give Mido a fairy for another ten years…"
Authors Notes: Well guys this chapter doesn't seem right, neither did the other two but… I've rewritten it 3 times now and it's gonna stay! And about Link being huge and all powerful, well he has been fighting for 7 years now nonstop… and the fact that I made him at least double his weight and length. I know some of you are screaming why! But I didn't like Link so small, I mean he's the best damn fighter in Hyrule. Besides in ocarina he was sleeping for 7 years. I get the feeling his muscles wouldn't have grown while he was asleep. Any ways don't worry I know he's changed and I'll be explaining in chapters to come about why and how.
As you can tell I really don't like Mido…he's kind of high on the list of people I don't like.
