Nabooru's Journal Day 4 Part 1
Still young Link sleeps. He cannot be roused by anyone, or perhaps he will not be roused. All signs suggest that he will live. His injuries, though minor, were treated and we have tried to keep him hydrated as best we can. His only chance is hope, the hope we all have that he will wake. We have taken him with us in our great caravan, he sleeps in my carriage. Though I will not leave the reins of the horses to tend to him, he is never left alone. Neretti or Turema take turns watching him.
The elders have all but anathematized me. They will never dare, for all their bravado and talk, they hide behind tradition and still fear me for who I am. They are testing me, pushing me to see if they can provoke me to give them a reason to condemn me. I will give them no such satisfaction.
A voice! Neretti calls from inside, the boy is waking. I will leave the reins to her now while I see to the lad. There are some things I must know.
Nabooru's Journal Day 4 Part 2
Disappointing at best. Perhaps I had been expecting too much.
The Hylian knows nothing, no memory and no past. Interesting. He questioned me on the expected, who I was and where we were going. I told him all I could and explained to him the nature of our travel across the desert. I could see that he was a warrior, something he later confirmed, although he retains no memory he at least maintains a basic understanding of what a warrior is.
I swore a long time ago that I would never take another warrior apprentice but perhaps there is some mutual benefit that could be gained from training this lad, this young warrior. What is more, there is something special about this boy I cannot seem to determine.
As we stopped to make camp for the night I sent him with Neretti to see the elders. Though I despise them, he is a newcomer to the tribe and certain traditions need to be respected.
I can reflect on the talk we had and I see several things right away. Link is very quiet, apart from a few questions he asked me he barely said a word. He listens well and retains knowledge well. Perhaps it is a symptom of having an empty mind that it becomes filled quickly. He seems to be able to perceive more then the average person can. He looks right at you when you speak, right through you sometimes.
It is enough to say that I am intrigued by him.
I have decided he could be worthy of my training but before he does I will need to test him. I have a feeling that he will decide to accept. What does he have to lose after all?
