Sorry it took so long again, I've been really busy -'
Also I added the wrong thing…sorry about that, I have a collection of chapters on another file – sorry…
Link's eyes wandered back and forth wildly. Cheery Music played loudly and there were people running around from all directions and crowds of people near stands against the walls. The walls of the town were lined with stores and alley ways, and dead center of the town was a fountain with water as clear as cold, glass. Near the right hand corner of the town was a large alley that lead to a tall gloomy looking building. Near the top of its tall peak, there was a circular stained glass window and a cross and its dark doors spanned half the height of the building and led into its chapel. Dog a dog circled the center of the town barking randomly and running in circles. A young girl, slightly younger than Link ran passed him, chasing a chicken. Link smiled, almost laughed. There was so much excitement around him. Navi fluttered around excitedly, unsure of what to focus on.
Link walked forwards, where there was another break in stores. There was a path leading out into a small field, where at the center, sat the magnificent, gleaming castle. He stared wide eyed and in wonder at it. He'd never seen buildings like this, he'd never thought he'd see a castle. It was all unreal. He bumped into someone and he shook his head, now paying attention to what was in front of him. They paid him no attention.
"You are so handsome…just like the King of Hyrule…hee hee hee!" The girl said quickly. The man looked into her eyes.
"Ohh... You are...more beautiful...than Princess Zelda... Ohh..." Her face reddened. Link backed away from them, trying to tune them out.
"Gross…" He muttered quietly and Navi laughed. He looked to the side and there was an older gentleman who stood crooked with a beard to the bottom of his ribs. Link began looking around again. He could slightly hear other people's conversations. "Ahem! Hrrrm!" The old man said loudly and Link looked at him again. "This beard is my pride and joy!"Link snickered. "Doesn't it look luxuriant, kid?!"
Just as he was about to turn away from the man, the young girl bumped into Link and pouted. "I can't catch that cucco!" She jumped up and ran off again after the chicken. Navi bumped into Link, and he nodded. They began walking to the castle, leaving behind the odd conversations. Every so often he'd hear Princess Zelda's name, he'd draw near to listen, but Navi only bumped into him again.
A girl stood near the path to the castle just smiling, and every so often peeking down the path. She looked just about the same age as Link, maybe slightly older. Her eyes caught Link and she smiled. She had long red hair, and a colorful homemade dress. Link couldn't help but smile back at her. Her thoughtful eyes scanned him over, then she smiled wider. "Hey, your clothes! They're...different... You're not from around here, are you?" Navi flew over Link's head and hovered over the girl. She looked up at Navi excitedly and giggled. "Ohh... You're a fairy boy from the forest!"
"Yeah." Link smiled and laughed. This girl…she was so happy. She almost reminded him of…
" My name is Malon!" She said quickly. " My dad owns Lon Lon Ranch! Dad went to the castle to deliver some milk, and he hasn't come back yet..." She sighed quietly, then shrugged. Navi nudged Link. "Oh, you've got to go.." Malon said quietly. She smiled widely again. "See you later. Hee hee!" She giggled as Link began to walk up the path.
The town wasn't that far from the castle, but it was far enough away for the field by the castle to be peaceful. Quiet. Sitting on a small cliff, Gaebora sat staring at him. "Hey, Link! This way!" Link looked up quickly and saw the large owl. "The princess is inside the castle just ahead. Be careful not to get caught by the guards! Ho ho ho hoot!" Link nodded with a small smile. "Well, well, which way are you going to go now? Hoo hoo hoot!" Link looked around. There were guards on the field and down the path He wouldn't get through that easily... Gaebora, without giving Link a chance to think, flew off with hoots that were similar to laughs.
Link glanced ahead. There was a guard standing in front of a large gate. Link sighed and walked up to the gate. The guard only glanced at Link then turned his face back up.
"Excuse me…" Link began. The guard didn't even look at him. "I have to talk to Princess Zelda, I'm on a—"
"So you say you want to see Princess Zelda, eh?" The guard's voice was cold. He snickered. "You probably heard about her in town and decided you had to meet her... Well..." Link looked up at him hopefully. The man only sneered. "Go home! Get out of here!" Link's eyes widened.
"What?! But I need to—"
"The Princess would never grant an audience to the likes of you!" The guard finally looked down at him angrily. Link turned quickly; he was enraged, but it probably wouldn't help to pick a fight with a castle guard. He sighed and stormed off quietly.
Navi sighed. "Don't worry." Link muttered quietly as the thought. "We'll find a way to sneak in some how."
Nearing the spot he saw Gaebora, he heard a soft repetitive tune, being hummed with an occasional bridge that led back into the beginning repetition. It was simple, but relaxing. It eased his nerves. Getting closer, the humming only seemed to get louder. Around the corner he sighed with a soft smile. Malon stood near the wall, humming to herself. She looked over at him and stopped humming.
"Are you going to the castle, fairy boy?" She wasn't smiling as much as before. She looked almost…slightly worried.
"Yeah…somehow…" He murmured, thinking of the guard at the gate. Her large smile spread back across her face.
"Would you mind finding my dad? He must have fallen asleep somewhere around the castle. What a thing for an adult to do! Tee hee!" Link sighed. He then nodded with a smile. "Oh yeah, if you look for him, I'll give this to you." She pulled an egg from her dress. It was warm to the touch and almost felt as if something were moving inside. "I've been incubating this egg very carefully... Tee hee!" Link smiled.
"Thanks!" He said quickly, he smiled appreciatively.
"Hee hee! My dad is really troublesome, for an adult, isn't he?! hee hee!" She smiled, then ran off, back into the town.
After Malon left, Link looked around slowly, trying to think of a way to get in. His eyes glanced up at Navi, who seemed to be doing the same. He sighed and leaned against the wall. Vines of on the wall were rough and they were beginning to bother his back. His eyes opened quickly as he turned quickly with revelation. The vines!
