Lost in the Legend

A/N- Hey, thanks for the reviews, UnbowedUnbroken and trumpet4life586. Your name is kinda hard to write... but thank ya for da great review and favoriting and all that jazz.

Disclaimer- NO OWN NO ZELDA OR FIRST LOVE!

Chelsya stared at Link, unblinking. For the past day, he had been nothing but tears and silence. With every passing moment, it was getting harder and harder to believe that he was the Hero.

They had, for the past day, been camping out in the forest. After running as fast as they could from Ganondorf and his men, Chelsya had them both rest. During the time that they had camped there, Link had only said one word: Milly.

Chelsya could only hope that her friend was not too far lost in his own pity and all to see that he needed to save Hyrule. Everyday, more and more people were dying. Sheik and Milly were proof of that.

Chelsya felt a pang in her heart as she thought about Sheik. She had never gotten to say sorry to him... or come back. Chelsya had never even been able to give Sheik or Zelda or King Harkian their memories back...

Chelsya touched Link's shaking back, her face sad. "I know that it might be a bit too early to ask this of you, but... Link. You need to save Hyrule. I know that you loved Milly and all, but you need to let her go, for the moment at least." That was when he did something completely unexpected.

Link stood up, turned towards her, and slapped her on the cheek.

Chelsya touched her cheek in shock. Had Link just really...? She stood up, more angry than she had ever been. "Link, you idiot! What the heck is wrong with you!? Don't you know that there's more to life than the person you love?! I had to learn that the hard way and I don't want you to! Come on!"

Chelsya glared at him, tears slurring her vision. "Link, can't you understand?! There are more people than just stupid old Milly that care about you!" Link glared at her, his face impassive.

He finally spoke, slowly. "Milly. Was. Not. Stupid. You. Are." Link turned away from her, leaving her in shock.

"Link! That is it! We have had fights before, but this is over the line! I hate you so freaking much! I was just trying to help!" Chelsya shouted. "And if you won't be the hero of this stupid story, then I will!" And with that said, Chelsya walked away, tears falling down her face.

Link stared after her, his face still impassive. Didn't she understand? Link had loved Milly more than he had loved his own life. And he had just let her go... he had watched her die.

Link looked down, wondering if he had been too harsh on her. Certainly slapping her was over the line, but calling her stupid was probably true. Link knew that Milly wasn't.

Link closed his eyes, thinking about Milly. He had loved everything about her. From her long, dark hair to her happy attitude. At least... at least Link had gotten the chance to tell her how he felt before she left this world.

Link felt tears running down his face. "Why?" He whispered. "Why, O goddesses? Why Milly?" He felt a hand wipe a tear from his face.

"For the same reason as Chelsya did." Link looked up into the face of a woman... a woman with long, blond hair and cobalt eyes. She had slightly tanned skin that glowed faintly, and wings came from her back. She was wearing an elaborate, white dress.

Link was fairly certain that she was an angel and his mother.

"M-Mother?" Link whispered. The woman smiled softly at him and nodded. She sat next to him.

"I only have a few minutes here, my son, so I would like to tell you some things. The first thing is that I love you very much, no matter what happens." Zelda smiled at Link. "The second thing is that I'm very proud that I have such an honorable son. Such a loyal son. But..." The Princess looked down, as though embarrassed.

"But you don't appear to be able to let things go very easily..." Link turned slightly pink at this comment. "Link, you have something you need to do on this planet, and that's save everyone in it. You can't very well do that if you're mourning the loss of someone that you loved. I know it's hard to let go, but can you put your mourning off until you save the world at least?"

Link smiled softly at his mother. "I... I'm sorry. I probably should have listened to Chelsya so I wouldn't have to have this conversation twice." Princess Zelda laughed and it sounded like twinkling bells.

"Yes, that's probably true."

"Mother... are you really Princess Zelda?" Her face sobered immediately. Zelda nodded slowly after a moment.

"Yes... yes I am. My dear son, Prince Link." Link looked down, his face slightly red.

"Then... then I am a prince after all. I thought that I might be, but I really wasn't sure to be honest." Link looked down and Zelda smiled kindly at him. She put a hand over his.

"Link, there's one last thing I want to tell you before I have to disappear, again." Princess Zelda hesitated and Link could see that she was fading already. "Link, your father, Link your father-" It was too late that she spoke, though, because Zelda faded, leaving only a feather left of her.

Link picked the feather up, his face sad. Link put it in the same pouch as his crystals and the bracelet. He looked up, his face determined. Link knew what he had to do. Link's next mission: Say sorry to Chelsya.

Chelsya stared at the moon, her face angry and sullen. How dare Link talk to her like that?! She began to sing to her self quietly, the same song she had sung to herself the night that she had lost the boy she loved.

"The last kiss tasted like tobacco

The bitter and sad scent

Tomorrow at this time

Where would you be?

Who would you be thinking of?"

"You are always gonna be my love

Even if I fall in love again with someone someday

I'll remember to love you taught me how

You are always gonna be the one

Now it's still a sad love song

Until I can sing a new song"

"The time that had stopped seems to start moving

Just all the things I don't want to forget

Tomorrow at this time

I will surely be crying

Probably thinking of you"

"You will always be inside my heart

Since there will always be the place for you

I hope that I have a place in your heart too

Now and forever you are still the one

Now it's still a sad love song

Until I can sing a new song"

"You are always gonna be my love

Even if I fall in love again with someone someday

I'll remember to love you taught my how

You are always gonna be the one

Now it's still a sad love song

Now and forever..."

"You always know the right songs to sing, don't you, Chelsya?" Chelsya blinked, her face flaming as Link walked over to her.

"Well, um, yeah, I guess..." Chelsya blinked as she realized that Link was talking to her. "W-well? What do you want? Why are you talking to me?" Link smirked at Chelsya.

"Let's just say that I got a little help from above. Starting tomorrow, I'm gonna do my best!" Link grinned at Chelsya, who rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah..."

"What do you mean by that?! I finally want to save Hyrule and you don't care?! What is with you?!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah..." The woman smiled at the younger girl as they watched Link and Chelsya fight.

"What did I tell you? He'll be fine with her. As long as Link has Chelsya, they'll both be fine." Milly nodded, looking up at Zelda.

"I suppose that's true... but I can't help but feel bad for the man I love. Do you mind if I talk with Chelsya tonight? I'm not sure if I feel safe with Link being with her all the time..."

"Of course you may, Milly. Go crazy."

A/N- -yawns- I'm sleepy and it's only sixish. This means that there's only gonna be one more song in this entire fanfiction! 0.o I've already got the rest of it planned out! At this rate, it'll probably be done in a week or two. Wow.
