Chapter 6
"So where are we going, exactly?" I asked
"We've got to get into City in the Sky."
"Uhm.. how the heck are we suppose to get in there? I mean, not to be snotty, but we're wolves, not birds."
"I know." Link replied as we came up to (another) hill. The sun was almost down, and below us was a bar, with men singing drunkenly and off key to a banjo song. I flattened my ears against my head, due to the off key screeching coming from below. I looked over sat Link who also had his ears flattened and was squinting his eyes shut. We decided to stop and rest up for the night. SO we lyed down on the long, cool grass and just laid there quietly looking out at the gorgeous view of Lake Hylia. I had no idea why we were there but I didn't want to ruin the moment. The singing quieted down after a few minutes. The sun was all the way down now and it was a little difficult to see, but I could make out something coming toward us quickly from below.
"Link, someone's coming," I said getting up and nudging him awake. He had fallen asleep in the grass.
Link woke up with a groan, kind of childish, but cute.
"Uhmmrrrr… Hmm? Hm!"
"Link! Hey, buddy!" A bunch of wolves came up and greeted him excitedly. I was awkwardly confused. Link came to consciousness and greeted them back with a friendly hello. "Man, it's been a long time! How you been?"
One of the wolves piped up from all the excitement, "Hey, who's your friend?" he said gesturing to me with his head. "It's a girl!" another one said, and that got them all sauntering around me. This was the most uncomfortable feeling. Ever. I tried to back up a little but I knew I was at the edge of the hill. So I kinda just sighed and lay down and tried to ignore them. Most of them went down the hill, but the tired ones stayed back and rested, too. They dragged Link over with them, but I had a feeling he would have rather had stayed on the hill in peace. I could hear them laughing and talking. They wanted Link to stay down there, but he gradually worked his way back up the hill. They followed him. He lay down next to me and rolled his eyes. We were having one of the conversations without words. He sighed hinting for them to go away. They took the hint and went back down the hill to howl with the banjo. We were tired but couldn't get sleep so we talked and laughed all through the night. A few hours later, the sky began to lighten. I got up and went down the hill. It was that time of morning when it was sort of light outside and the stars were still out. I sat next to the lake watching what I called the Star Set. Link came down and sat next to me looking at me curiously.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"Watching the Star Set. Isn't it beautiful?" The lake sparkled as one giant ray of sun burst into the sky. The stars that you could still see is the parts of the sky that were still dark gleamed in the yellow and pink and purple sky.
"It is beautiful," he said looking at me.
"Link, I have to ask you something," Link's ears perked up curiously. "Uhm… well, you see,.. why are at Lake Hylia?"
"Because we have to get shot through that cannon to get to the City in the Sky." He said gesturing to a really big cannon.
"Oh." The Star Set ended with a full blue sky and cute little birds singing in their nests.
"Well, I think I'm gonna go get some late morning sleep. We can get going later." Link said with a yawn and a quick grin and headed back up the hill.
"Yeah, me too," I yawned, too. We walked up the hill together and laid down on the grass and fell into a deep sleep.
