Toddlers and Demons, Chapter 10 Let's Move On.
Link yawned and woke up to see Ghirahim watching him. Link went to sit up but grimaced in pain and laid back down. Ghirahim walked over and knelt next to the boy. Link had a really hard time seeing with his left eye swollen shut.
"How are you feeling?" Ghirahim asked nervously biting his lip.
"I hurt." Link whined.
"Where?"
"Everywhere." Link paused. "But mostly my leg." Link clarified.
"Your face looks awful." Ghirahim sighed. "I would catch a fairy, but those darn things don't come within 10 feet of me. I don't know how to make potions either so we have to wait for your body to heal itself. At least I could stop the bleeding in your arm." Ghirahim closed his eyes. Link looked to his right arm to see it wrapped in bandages even at that, the wound looked like it had bled through the bandages.
"Mr. Ghirahim I'm... never mind." Link looked away.
"What? You can tell me. I wont get mad like Skylar would." Ghirahim soothed brushing the boy's hair past his ear.
"Hungry." Link finished quietly.
"That's fine. Let me get you something to eat. Here, I have something for you." Link looked up to see his stuffed Loftwing. He smiled and took it. The wing was fully repaired. Ghirahim left and went to get him something to eat. Link sighed. He was happy to be with Ghirahim.
When Ghirahim came back out, he was really sad and really touched by what he saw. Link was praying to the goddess out loud.
"Goddess, thank you for blessing me with Mr. Ghirahim. He is so nice! I wonder why he never has friends over to play. But I hope that him and I can be friends forever! That would be so cool! And please let him be happy forever!" Link finished his prayer and sighed. He started playing with his Loftwing again. He made it fly, he made the chirping sound of the birds. Ghirahim smiled and took the tray to the boy.
"Link, I need you to listen to me." Link nodded. "I need you to rest. I will be at your side as often as I can, but you can't move until that leg heals enough." Link sighed and nodded.
"You mean I can't even go to the bathroom?" Link looked at Ghirahim. His aura gave away he was ashamed and discouraged.
"Well, I can carry you to the bathroom and you'd have to stand on one leg and hop around-"
"Link a bunny?" Link smiled.
"Sure. But don't walk on that leg it will hurt." Ghirahim warned. The day was spent with Ghirahim taking out books that had adventure and more child friendly pictures, and teaching Link how to read. Ghirahim hoped Link would forget about Skylar and forget about death completely, but that was proved to be only a wish.
"So, you said that the weird lady died right?" Ghirahim hesitated before answering.
"Correct. I sadly had to kill her." Ghirahim shook his head and stared at the ground.
"You loved her." Link whispered. Ghirahim's head snapped up to look at Link.
"How do you know?" Ghirahim whispered in shock.
"When you talk about her, a sorrow appears in your eyes. A lost look. And, I had a dream about you two. One I know wasn't made up." Link smiled and looked down.
"Would you mind telling me what it was about?"
"Well... ok. So you and her were walking around and laughing and talking. You told her you'd be right back and you left. She stood there with the biggest smile on her face. It was the size of the moon!" Ghirahim chuckled. "And when you came back you say some people come and take her. So you went after her. You fought long and hard for a girl. I would never do that. Not even for the prettiest girl on Skyloft." Link blushed a little.
"Who do you think is pretty?" Ghirahim smiled a little.
"Zelda..." Link trailed off. "Ok, can I tell you a secret?" Link looked at Ghirahim with hopeful eyes.
"Sure. I wont tell anybody I promise."
"Zelda is the prettiest girl. She has these big blue eyes! She has this smile that makes me blush a little when she looks at me. But, life hates me so, she'll marry Groose, and they'll have lots and lots of babies, then I'll end up alone. I'll be old and gray haired like you. Except you're not gray, your white haired."
"I'm not old." Ghirahim rolled his eyes.
"Then why is your hair white?" Link pressed. He was determined to prove Ghirahim was old.
"Genetics." Ghirahim mumbled. He knew what the next question was going to be.
"What are genetics?" Ah, there it was.
"Genetics are what makes you, you."
"Oh. So like how I can ask so many questions I blow your face off?"
"No, like the color of your hair, the color of your eyes, skin..." Ghirahim trailed off. You needed parents to look the way you are. Ghirahim didn't have parents. He was a sword spirit, why would he have parents? He had always been jealous of Skylar like that. She had parents and she gave them up to serve Demise. She was still human, but in return for her services, she was granted magic and eternal life. Ghirahim preferred parents.
"One more question Mr. Ghirahim." Ghirahim snapped out of his train of thought and nodded. "How are babies made?" Ghirahim blushed a bright red and looked away.
"You'll know when you're older." Ghirahim stood up.
"I want to know now!" Link pressed on. "And I'm older!"
"No you're not!"
"By a second!" Link objected.
"No."
"Come on!"
"No!"
Please?"
"No now go to bed."
"No I want an answer!"
"No!"
"Please please please?" Link begged.
"You know, just because you're injured doesn't mean I can't spank you for misbehaving." Ghirahim threatened. Link laid back down on the couch and closed his eyes.
"Good night Mr. Ghirahim! Sleep tight!" Link smiled then went to close his eyes again."
"Good night Link." Ghirahim patted the boy's head.
Ghirahim was going to sleep on the couch across from Link. Ever since he met this boy, h became exhausted. He didn't even know why. Never in his life had he felt so tired before! Why now? Ghirahim knew letting the boy go was going to be hard. He would be missed.
