Well Bookie, I do believe that I am in trouble... It would appear that I have been framed...
When I went for my tour of Lady Zelda's humble abode, I officially met her father, Gaepora. He is a kind old man, which Zelda informed me was nearing fifty. I met him at the base of the stairs, he had been ascending to check up on me, and invited me to a light snack in what looked like a living room. A large roaring firepit lay in the center of the room, with a chain curtain, currently raised, I would guess to protect children from falling into the fire? I wouldn't have the foggiest, but there was a fire pit in the middle of the large room, with many various furniture for sitting in around it. He took up a seat next to a fire poker and stuck it in the fire, I took the fainting couch across from him, laying on it if you were curious.
"What are you going here," he asked, not bothering to make eye contact. Fine then, if he's going to be rude, I see no reason I can't be either!
"Pardon?" Gaepora let his eyes narrow. He threw down the poker with a silent snarl and stood suddenly, his glare quite ferocious.
"You are the Demon Lord that kidnapped my daughter, yes," he growled. I sat up and stared back, mine brows were raised.
"Yes-"
"You are also the one that nearly killed Link, over four times?"
"I fail to see why this is relevant-"
"Your type always has a purpose, and I can't figure out what your's is!" I stared at him, I slowly stood and rubbed my jaw, bracing my arm with the other. His glare deepened.
"Do you want the truth, or a lie, which would you believe," I asked, letting my head test on my hand. If possible, his glare deepened further and he tilted his head back, his jaw coming forwards as if to frighten me. WELL TOO BAD CHAP, NO MORTAL HAS SCARED ME!
Yet...
Anyways, Gaepora was trying to intimidate me, which doesn't work, and I soon grew tired of it.
"Fine, you want to know my purpose, yes?" I waited a moment before continuing. "I am trying to figure out that myself, and the only two people who know are Hylia and Fi. One is your daughter, and the other is goddess knows where." Gaepora stared at mea moment, then clapped me on the back with a hearty chuckle. Well, it would seem he's too easy to trust and forgive... Or is it the other way around?
"Well then master Demon, Welcome to Ordainia!" Oh, so first you're about to kill me,and now were all chums? Yes, he wouldn't have lasted two days in Demise's era. He sat back down and we talked for hours on end about everything. I didn't once have the want to ask him to stop, and I actually enjoyed it! As the patriarch of Skyloft, he knew the most about history- I am sorry, legends of their people. But around three in the afternoon, the old man informed me that was time for his afternoon nap, but I was very much welcome to return around five in the afternoon, or whenever the sun set. So I decided to check out that orchard Gaepora mentioned earlier...
I roamed around the trees, watching and wondering why a few trees were twisted the way they were, wondering if these trees were planted by the Hylians or if someone else had planted them, when I heard a laughter of some kind. I will have you know that Demise removed everything living from this area, before I continue. I quickly jumped into a tree, it was sturdy enough I'll have you know, as it sounded like they were coming my way, and I say they because it was more then one, and I was right! It was the Skychild and the spirit maiden, running through the orchards. They were giggling like schoolchildren, Link was obviously chasing Zelda, though they weren't in a state of... Hate or disagreement, as told by their bright faces and wide smiles, not to mention their laughter. I stayed in my tree, more silent then a cloud.
The Skychild finally caught up with Zelda, grabbing her wait and pulling it close.
"Link, stop,"Zelda giggled, trying to push him away. He ignored her and brushed her cheek.
"Not til you tell me what's-" and at that point I had vanished.
It isn't my business to interfere with their love life, and I have no desire to, Bookie, though I must say it sparked my interest. Oh, a thought just crossed my mind, I could have dropped a... something on them, and ruined their moment! But then The Skychild would have likely, attempted, to kill me, again... Ah, the pains of being enemies with one you are stuck with...
After I 'ran' into the Goddess's chosen, I returned to Gaepora's humble abode, or is it Zelda's? Meh... Anyways, I returned because my earring was missing. And no I can't just craft a new one, it much too important to do such a thing, even if I could make pure diamond out of thin air. No my swords aren't- you know what, I'll explain later, I'm sure it will come up later. The point is, I returned because my earring was missing, I know exactly where, but I didn't want to disturb Gaepora and his nap. It was about sundown by now, surely he would be up, right? I walked through Hylia's Village, getting scornful and distasteful looks wherever I looked. Well, I thought they could go and just dig a hole! I believe I actually said that to a large woman, with a shrimpy husband and a small child in a back carrier, when she told the husband not to stare, because I would rub off on the child. Honestly, have these people heard not to judge a creature by their skin?! I finally made it inside of the hut, which I realized was the largest house in the village.
"Hey Gaepora, I'm just grabbing my earring," I called, walking to the fainting couch and digging in the cushions.
"Alright," he mumbled back. "Dont ruin the couch," he added loudly.
"Don't worry, I won't!" My hands scowered the cushions, and I thought I had finally found it. I squoze, and all this sticky red liquid came up and sprayed all over my chest, causing me to shriek. I pulled my hand out, and apperantly I had found a bottle of some sort with a juice, left behind by a child? I wouldn't know as I wasn't there, but the condition of the liquid inside the bottle was appalling, and stunk worse then a Bobokin's hide. And when I moved to wash my hands and chest off, I slipped and sprayed more of the sticky liquid on the rest of the couch, on the floor, and some of it even got Gaepora's door! I probably should have cleaned it up, then maybe I wouldn't be in this predicament, but I was more worried about cleaning myself and my clothes, so they wouldn't stain. And I guess I should have teleported to my house, but I walked there, I honestly don't know what came over me. Maybe I have been around these Hylia's too long... I know as I ran, stomped, walked through the village,I got many queer looks from inside the huts, some even shut the curtains when my shadow fell across the ground from the lamp light.
I guess its to be expected, since I am a powerful being, and I do hate to be humiliated, as I'm sure The Skychild explained to them. As for returning to find my earring, I didn't until the morning, it took a considerable amount of time just to remove the stains from my gloves and hands. But when I did, I didn't meet a soul on the streets, nor in the forest. The day was cheerful and bright, yet a feeling of dread, or apprehension, probably both, hung over the Village, and I couldn't figure it out. I mean, wouldn't the little ones be out and about, it was unnatural for then not to, unless there was a sickness spreading...
I walked to Gaepora's, ignoring the sense of doom, and enjoying the quiet. Truthfully, it has been many years since I have heard true silence, and this was near enough, only the babble of the brook on the outskirts of the village betrayed the notion that time still flowed. I rounded the last corner and found knights swarming the house. No,not like wasps, more like someone with something to do, there was just a bunch of people with swords and shields, wearing the same style tunics, though their hats and colors ranged all over. A red haired girl, or Lady I should say, with a green tunic saw me and frowned.
"You're wanted inside," she growled with a 'frightening' look and a wave of her shield. I frowned, and stepped towards the door. Every thought on my mind wasn't bright or happy, and some of them involved someone dying. I opened the door and walked inside. Groose, the Skychild and Lady Zelda were in the living room, the latter two were in darker clothes, none inside, or outside for that matter, looked in a good mood.
"Why all the long faces," I asked, trying to lighten the mood. Link saw me and stood, his fists clenched, he looked more pissed off then I had seen him before. Well, maybe not as bad as when I kidnapped Zelda, but I digress.
"This is low, Diamond, even for you," Groose shouted, standing and pointing at me. I stared blankly at him.
"Diamond," I asked. "I have been called many things, but never Diamond-"
"Just stop stalling and admit it," Pipin accused.
"Admit what? I have one nothing wrong-"
"Lies!"
"-Short of wanting to feed this man to the remlits," I finished with a hard glare at the yellow one.
Zelda sniffed and Link lost his hard shell in an instant, comforting the Sprit Maiden with compassion and kindness I hadn't yet seen in him.
"Now look what ya did," Groose grumbled, patting Zelda's shoulder. She frowned and to my utter shock, smacked away those around her.
"Everyone out of my house," she screamed. Pipin, Groose and the Skychild stared back, until she started shoving the larger one towards the door.
Since then,I've been in a cell, a smelly, dank, moldy, rat infested cell! I didnt even have a proper bed, it was just a linen cot with a welded metal frame! And it was very stinky, some mangy something had to of slept in it last. Why can the Hylia's ever keep anything clean. And no, the Hylian as far as I know haven't had to use a prison since the Great War, and I'm not sure why they would need one. Maybe visitors that misbehaved, but what others are there? The Gorons, and the Kikwi. Maybe the robots if one could bring a timshift stone with them and fix them up, but I highly doubt that. Oh, someone's descending the stairs, I will write in a minuet, or several. I wonder what they want...
