The fact that I uploaded so late in the day was because I live in a hick town in the middle of nowhere and rarely get a chance to go up to the closest city. You can guess where I've been all day. Please bear in mind that ALL of my ocs are based off of real people who's permission I got to use them. I do it like this because I'm horrible at coming up with my own characters. No, I'm not accepting ocs. I bet you can't guess which oc is based off of me. ;) As you can probably tell, I still don't have a beta. Either way, enjoy and I'll see you at the end of chapter 6.
Chapter 4: The Trade
When Master opened the door, I saw the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. Tall and thin with deep blue eyes and long blonde hair flowing freely over her ears. She looked close to my age of 16 and when I imagined her with pointed ears, my heart melted! I've never seen such beauty wrapped in such expensive looking clothes… wait! Expensive?! This can't be the guy!
"Welcome, Lady Zelda. Please come in." I heard Master say, and a huge realization slapped me in the face; THIS WAS THE FAMOUS EXPLORER! I could feel my face getting hot. What was going on?! Good thing Master never asked me to greet her or anything, because I just couldn't stand there any longer.
Ten minutes later, me and three other slaves were eavesdropping on Master's and Lady Zelda's conversation. They were joking and telling stories. We were confused as to why no business was being conducted until…
"Speaking of slaves…" Lady Zelda began "… I've been renting able bodied or very dedicated slaves for My newest expedition that will be launching tomorrow. I heard the rumors that you recently obtained an amazing slave and I only have room for one more. I'm willing to pay 1000 rupees to rent him; 500 now, 500 by the end of it. What do you say?"
"I say…" Started Master, with quite a perverted tone and look in his eyes. "… It sounds like a deal!… Number 28, quit eavesdropping and come here. Numbers 23, 46, and 92, quit trying to hide. I know you're there."
I felt a stone in my stomach as my mind raced. Panicked, all four of us came out of hiding and the other three just stood there while I stepped forward just as I was told, waiting for a punishment that never came. Instead, I heard the clanging of rupees on the table; Two huge gold ones and on large silver one.
"Well, Number 28, you temporarily belong to Lady Zelda now." At this point, I knew what to do; I walked over to Lady Ze- no! Master- and stood behind her. It was now that I saw the reason for her keeping her hair over her ears; she had scars all over her ugly round ears. My heart fell for her at this point, despite the ears. She's suffered enough with those scars! I don't want her to suffer from them anymore.
Master (Zelda) looked at the clock and said "I really should be going now. Thank you for your cooperation. Lets go, Number… 16." 16?! Well, either way, I had to follow her to her horse cart. She urged Me in after her. To which I promptly obliged. After closing the door behind me, I stole a glance back at My old Master, Sir Fordread, and was secretly glad that, even if temporarily, I have the new Master that makes My heart race like it does.
Respectfully, I had My head dipped for the ride until Master (Zelda) broke the silence.
"I'm just curious. What did your parents name you?" I was shocked! A Master has never asked Me of My name. It took a while to get over the shock. But as soon as I recovered, I told her My name.
"Link?" Master asked to confirm. I nodded. She continued "That sounds so… familiar. I wonder where I've heard it before?" After that, I swear I blushed so hard, my face was on fire!
"Well, anyway, We're going to investigate a very remote location that no one has ever returned alive from called 'The Chamber of the Gods', in an old country that used to be called…" She paused, a mischievous look in her eyes. "Hyrule!"
