Chapter 7
"see it's not that bad" Rin smiled. Rin and Recht were riding on Recht's horse. It was going a normal horse speed, not to fast but too slow.
"I guess" Recht said looking Rin who was sitting sideways on the horse. "it will be more safe if you sit normally"
"don't worry if I feel like I'm falling I'll grab on to you" Rin smiled.
"ok if your sure" Recht mumbled. Recht was blushing a little bit.
"are we almost there" Rin said looking around. They were traveling by horse but it was still a rather time before they would get to the castle town.
"were getting close" Recht said looking around there was someone else on a horse riding towards them. Recht slowed Epona down a little. The man on the horse got closer to them. He was a few years older the Rin and Recht. He had lavender colored hair and red eyes.
"hello there you are" the man looked at Recht. "all the knights are looking for you"
"I'm trying to save my family" Recht looked angry. "as is Rin"
"Well little mister Hyrule you should tell people when you are going please" he smirked climbing down from the horse.
"I'm not little" Recht got of his horse and walked over to the other person.
"oh so you know each other?" Rin smiled still on the horse.
"unfortunately" Recht said looking angry.
"your quite cute miss, my name is Elrohir" he smiled at Rin.
"thanks, my name is Rinku but just call me Rin. it's nice to meet you" Rin said starting to climb off the horse but instead fell off.
"Rin! Are you ok?" Recht walked over to Rin and helped her up.
"I'm ok" Rin said brushing the dirt off her face.
"are you hurt anywhere?" Recht asked holding one of her shoulders.
"no, I'm fine" Rin smiled.
"thank goodness falling off a horse can hurt you pretty bad" Recht smiled and Rin smiled back.
"oh I see how it is" Elrohir smirked and winked.
"No it's not like that" Recht blushed moving his hand off Rin's shoulder.
"oh so you don't mind if I do this" Elrohir smiled and walked over to Rin and took her hands "sweet maiden, leave this wimpy loser and come with me I'll be more helpful than this wimp"
"did your family disappear too?" Rin asked.
"I am sad to say yes they have been" Elrohir sighed and looked down.
"What force is doing this, my family,Recht's family, your family, that Goron family and the royal family" Rin looked sad. Elrohir looked over at Recht who looked worried about something.
"I see, she doesn't know" Elrohir
wishpered and glared at Recht.
"You can come with us if you like" Rin said.
"no I have other matters to attend to" he flung his hair to the side. "little mister you need to tell the knights where you are going" Elrohir said ruffling Recht's hair.
"I'm not little" Recht mumbled.
"oh you two should come it my ball next month I will love to have you there " Elrohir smiled and gave Rin two envelops.
"sounds fun" Rin took the envelops and put them in her bag.
"until then I'll await out meeting" Elrohir said slyly, he grabbed Rin's hand and kissed it. This caused Rin to blush.
"Elrohir leave her alone, she's not one of your stupid Princesses that fall head over heels for you" Recht pointed his dagger at Elrohir.
"I can't help it if I have a way with the ladies" Elrohir winked at Rin and rode away on his horse.
"He seems nice" Rin said staring at him ride his horse away.
"Rin don't be so trusting, he may be a knight of Hyrule but he has hurt many ladies before and he'd do the same to you" Recht turned away and climbed on top of Epona.
"don't worry Recht, your around to protect me" Rin smiled.
"...let's get to the fairy fountain" Recht said walking away from the castle city.
"Don't you want to stop in at the city people seem to be wondering where you are" Rin said to Recht.
"Elrohir will tell them" Recht pouted. "if you want to go I'll wait out here" Recht said petting his horse.
"let's just go then" Rin nodded.
*~* at there fairy fountain*~*
"Good job. You got the ruby and helped the Gorons" the fairy smiled.
"We helped the Goron?" Rim asked.
"yes that monster was all absorbing all the Magma. After a while the Gorons would have run out of rocks produced by the lava" The fairy explained.
"We did that?" Recht question.
"yes you did" the fairy replied.
What are we to do next?" Rin asked.
"head to to the waves, the my sister shall wait there for you" the red fairy spun around and disappeared.
"the nearest source of water is lake Hylia" Recht said. "there is no time to rest let's go" Recht instructed.
"m'lady the scared Ruby has been returned back to the great fairy" a lady dresses him purple said to a lady dressed in red.
"Why did you let them!" the lady in red stood up angered.
"well m'lady we don't know who did it, no knights were seen around the area or anyone suspicious" the lady in purple said.
"what of the prince? Has he been found?" The lady in red asked.
"No, as well one of the knights have gone missing too" the lady in purple said.
It had started to get dark outside so Rin and Recht were forced to stop the horse and sleep for a while.
"So did you grow up with Elrohir?" Rin asked.
"yah, our fathers were best friends and worked together" Recht said moving a stick around in the dirt.
"Awesome, I can picture you two playing a lot and him like protecting you from stuff" Rin said thinking.
"I practically followed him around like a duckling until he became a teenager" Recht said drawing in the dirt.
"aww that's so cute!" Rin said imagining that. "I didn't know anyone around my age to play with"
"it's not cute it's embarrassing" Recht blushed. Rin started to hum a song(zelda's lullaby). "you know that song?"
"my adoptive grandma used to sing it to me when I was a kid, but I can't remember the words at all" Rin said continuing to hum the song.
"I've heard it before, but I don't remember it fully" Recht smiled softly. "why do you like singing so much Rin?"
"I don't know" Rin said poking her chin. "my family always had instruments around and grandma used to sing to me a lot" Rin yawned.
"it is getting late" Recht said looking at the sky. "good night Rin"
"Night Recht" She stood up and petted Epona "good night Epona"
