Zelda's P.O.V.
Lynk and I left early in the morning to make sure we made it to the Spring of Power. We made it by noon and I walked into the knee-deep water and clasped my hands. Today is going to be a long day. I usually keep quiet and to myself when praying, but around night-time I was sick of it. Maybe I should pray out loud. No one but Lynk is around to hear me anyway.
"I come seeking help...regarding this power that has been handed down over time… Prayer will awaken my power to seal Ganon away… Or so I've been told all my life… " I let my hands fall in the water."And yet… " I locked my gaze on the water."Grandmother heard them-the voices from the spirit realm. And Mother said her own power would develop within me. But I don't hear...or feel anything!" I looked back at the statue, clasped my hands again."Father has told me time and time again… He always says, 'Quit wasting your time playing at being a scholar!' Curse you… "
I slammed my hands into the watery surface and squeeze my eyes shut. What is it about me that is so undesirable that it causes the Goddess herself to ignore me? What is it? I just want to know. I'll change whatever it is. I'll do whatever it takes! Just please, please let me know what it is that you want me to change. I'll do it. Just stop ignoring me. Please. I pursed my lips as my anger grew.
"I've spent every day of my life dedicated to prayer! I've pleaded to the spirits tied to the ancient gods… And still the holy powers have proven death to my devotion." I hugged myself and hung my head. My face grew warm and tears started to prick my eyes."Please just tell me… What is it…? What's wrong with me?!"
I started lightly sobbing and slowly sunk into the water. The fate of Hyrule rest in my hands… My incapable hands. I raised my hands, only to slam them back into the water. I'm nothing like my mom. If she was alive, she would've been capable of sealing Ganon, she would actually be able to save her kingdom. I just sat there for a few moments before I heard splashing behind me. It was Lynk. Who else could it be? I felt a hand on each arm and did my best to stifle my crying before looking at her.
"Your Majesty," She said."I think you should get some rest. We have a long day tomorrow."
I nodded and followed her to a small fire she built earlier. I laid down and soon fell asleep.
I had a dream last night... In a place consumed by darkness, a lone woman gazed at me, haloed by blinding light. I sensed she was...not of this world. I don't know if she was a fairy or a goddess, but she was beautiful. Her lips spoke urgently, but her voice did not reach me. Would I have heard her if my power was awoken? Or was my dream simply a manifestation of my fears? I am sure I will know the answer soon, whether I wish to or not...
