Chapter 3: Child Split

Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, block, stab, OW! That hurt! What am I doing? I'm training with a sword! I didn't react properly, so I ended up falling on my butt. Well, at least this is just training and not the real thing.

I have to train in case monsters attack my country of Hyrule. There's been a long time of peace, but it seems Hyrule is still prone to at least minor attacks from neighboring countries every now and then. While I'm not the best, I still have the potential to use magic. And use it, I will if that means I can protect the royal family. Its said that we can only use magic because our ears are pointed and because of that, we can hear the voices of the gods. I'd like to say that I don't believe that tidbit, but it would explain a lot.

My name is Link, a knight of Hyrule! My father was a knight who died in action, and because of that, the princess began to pity me, which led to me knowing her quite well and us growing up as childhood friends! Being so close to the princess has its perks, but I also get a LOT of jealous looks when I walk around town with her. Irregardless, Its all worth it when I love my job this much. I get to help people in every situation despite my own troubles.

Lately though, there have been monster sightings around the shrine of the gods and many people are concerned about what might be going on there. Unfortunately, I can't go to investigate unless I'm ordered to do so. Until then, My duty is to stay here, train, and protect the princess. Speaking of which, she wanted to see me when I was finished with My training for the day. She probably wants me to be her personal bodyguard and just stand behind her for another dinner party tonight. Oh well, I might as well bring her a flower on my there.


Well, that's that! Please tell me what you think in a review and please know that the reason I'm basing all of my OCs off of real people with only their last names changed is due to the fact that they are only placeholders/people that are being used to make everything seem real enough to be rational. I swear, it took me HOURS to understand how uploading stuff on this site works. Hence why this thing was a piece of crap for a while there. :/ Either way, thank you very much for reading! See you next week with three more chapters! ;D
