Hi! Well, the last chapter was very dramatic wasn't it, yeah, yeah, I know, too short! I try my hardest for you people!! *Runs away crying* *runs back* I forgot to write the chapter before I ran off *sniff* ok, I rewrote chapter one so it's easier to read like these chapters and edited the unneeded bits out and added some more in. I'm going to do the same to the second chapter two so it's easier to read and understand too ^-^ I like this story! Ok, on with the show. Hey guess what! I've been through sixteen chapters without naming the main character!! Yes, that's right, not once has Link or Lucy called the character by name. Quite an accomplishment don't you think?
Lucy ran over to help Link up to the stone. The wriggling green pile behind us didn't notice us, they were busy trying to find Link in their midst.
Lucy looked red in the face, I felt a stab of guilt, I'd worried her, she probably had thought she was stranded here without anyone to help her and we were both dead. I gave her a reassuring smile, and she returned it gratefully.
As we reached the stone slab I realised what it was, we'd made it to the fairy fountain, which was dry of course. But there we were, and the slab was much bigger than it looks in the game.
Lucy and I shared Link's weight and lay him down on the slab. He was exhausted after all that. His legs were slit open, he had cuts and bruises all over his face and arms. His shirt was ripped and torn, and his chest was bleeding. He was like a multicolour dream coat. He gasped for breath and once more I felt guilty for it happening.
"Are you ok Link?" Lucy asked quietly, her face had gone from red to pale
"Sure...I'll be fine," he grinned weakly, "Just give me a minute to rest up eh?" he closed his eyes and presently feel asleep
"Well, if he can fall asleep he's alright" I said smiling bravely
"Yeah," Lucy said, "You think we can help him?"
"Well, it seems kinda bad, maybe he needs a doctor"
"What about the red potion?" Lucy asked, "He has half a bottle of it"
"Yeah, but it never returns you to full strength in the game, Link probably has all his health hearts by now, a bottle of potion would fill around three, and if I'm right he's on two hearts out of twenty. It would help a little I guess"
"Let's try" Lucy said rummaging through Link's pockets, she brought out a half filled bottle of red potion "Here we go"
"Ok, obviously he can't drink it in his condition~" I began
"When did you become a doctor?" Lucy demanded
"Since now...obviously" I replied, "And...no, it's true, I don't have a clue what I'm doing. But I have a vague idea"
"So what do we do in your vague idea?" Lucy asked cautiously
"Apply the half bottle to the most important places"
"But his balls aren't injured"
"I mean surgically" I replied, "Duh"
"Sorry" Lucy grinned "Just kidding"
"I know" I replied, "Ok, we should take of his shirt really and bind the wounds with something which is soaked in the red potion"
"How about this?" Lucy took out a roll of bandage from Link's pocket
"Great! My god, what the hell does he keep in his pockets?"
"Well, I think I felt a mouse in there"
"Ewww" I shrivelled my nose, "It'll do, ok, take off his shirt"
"Why me?" Lucy looked horrified
"I'm the doctor" I replied, "I have to do the icky stuff"
"Fine" Lucy started to drag his shirt over his head; it took her five minutes to completely get it off. All the while worrying she was strangling, choking and generally killing him.
It looked at lot worse with his shirt off. Not only did he have a six pack ^_^ and very nice muscle tonnage, he had a very large wound near his shoulder.
"Ouch..." Lucy said vacantly
"Ouch indeed" I agreed, "Wow, we're lucky it didn't pierce his heart, or his lung or something. Ok" I brought out a tissue from my backpack "Let's clear out the wound first" I started to clear around the whole wound carefully "Pity we don't have alcohol"
"Are you kidding, look what I found," Lucy brought out a very, very small bottle of what looked like beer, "I think it's..." she smelled it, "Mead. It's what he had in Kakariko!"
"Just when we needed it!" I exclaimed, "Ok, soak his shirt in it then dab it onto the wound"
"Ok" she dibbed the corner of the shirt into the mead and then onto the wound carefully, she then took out the remainder of the red potion Link had given me and put that on top of the alcohol and spread it over his other wounds.
Link tensed as the mead dripped into the wound. But mommy had taught him how to take his medicine obviously as he did nothing else.
"We are so good at this" Lucy said finishing the job
"Sure we are" I ripped a strip of linen from Link's shirt and wrapped it around the chest wound "This ought to be enough until we can get to the great fairies fountain"
"What can she do?"
"Well the fairies can always heal Link in the game, theres no reason why they can't do it now" I replied
"Ok, but today is nearly over, it'll have to be tomorrow," Lucy said looking doubtfully up at the pink sky
"Well we'll have to keep him warm, alive and comfy till dawn" I replied as bravely as I could, what if he didn't last till morning? I was no doctor.
We wrapped Link up in any spare clothes and hankies we could find in my backpack and his pockets and hoped it would be enough. Without Link in this place we wouldn't last a second, even though I knew this land well.
Lucy and I took turns through the night at keeping watch against enemies and an eye on Link. I took the sleep gratefully as the watches were long and uneventful hours.
I woke to take my watch around 2am and watched the darkness as Lucy drifted off to a dreamless sleep.
I shivered and crept closer to Link; if I was cold he must be too. I stared down at him sadly. He'd done it for me, I'd been in trouble and he'd saved my life. It was my fault that he was laying there, in an uneasy rest, his face all black and his body broken.
Now I looked at him, he wasn't as old as I had thought he'd been a few days ago. Maybe two years older perhaps. How could someone so young be that clear of mind to give his life up so readily for one person? A hero of time, that meant something to him that would make him do anything to be heroic probably.
As I stared, Link started to cry. Not in the sense of bawling at something sad, or even aware he was. He was still asleep; but the water just flowed from his eyes.
It was enough to make me cry, I almost did but then that would be stupid, so I didn't.
He was probably having a dream, and with the injuries he had it wouldn't be surprising. I lay down next to him and started to stroke his forehead and whispering to him.
My mother used to do that when I'd had a nightmare.
I didn't really know what to say so I just told him about the summer where I came from, and how it would be if he ever came to visit. I talked about all the things I liked to eat and where I loved to go. I even sang nursery rhymes to him, Twinkle Twinkle etc
After around ten minutes he calmed down and carried on sleeping, I smiled, maybe I should be a doctor or something. I seem to have a knack for this stuff. I woke Lucy up for the next watch and fell back to sleep.
At dawn Lucy woke me and we took a look at our patient. He seemed batter, the wound on his chest looked less desperate, obviously the potion and mead made all the difference. He seemed to have more colour in his cheeks as well, it was a relief.
"I'm so glad he's getting better" Lucy said, "I mean, it would have been tough if we'd had to carry him to the fairy's place AND save Hyrule. Plus we'd feel bad and if you ask me that would make the situation even worse"
"Yeah" I grinned at her relieved
"So where's this fountain?" Lucy asked looking out over the dunes and at the steps and gate to the temple
"Um...well, everything's a little bigger here but...over that way somewhere" I pointed out past a dry pond and toward a wall of rock, "There should be a crack we have to bomb"
"Well the Gerudos did a good job at guarding this place" Lucy said sarcastically, "They didn't even bother to fo~"
"Shut up!" I hissed before she finished, "You'll jinx us"
"Oops" Lucy said scratching her head "I forgot"
"That's ok, come on, let's get going before the sun really heats up"
"Okay"
We each put an arm under Link's shoulder and pulled him up, he seemed to vaguely know what we were doing as he didn't just collapse all the time but made sure his legs did what they were told while we helped him along. We also put his blood stained shirt over his head to stop him getting sunstroke or something.
We made slow progress and would have been hindered if it had been later in the day by the sun, or those little green blobs, but they seemed to have disappeared.
"I wonder if any more battles have taken place on the field since we left it" Lucy pondered looking back where we had come
Link groaned and we adjusted our grip to make him more comfortable.
It suddenly struck me that maybe that had been the reason for his tears. If there was a battle on the plains maybe somehow it affected him. Maybe the Kokiri had been involved and he had felt something of the battle.
I felt a sudden stabbing hatred toward whatever was making the world of Hyrule act like this and put people through so much pain. But even so, I wished I were at home and playing the game, not living the game.
"Is that it up ahead?" Lucy's voice broke through my chain of thought
"What?" I stared ahead toward the rock face
"Is that the crack?" Lucy repeated
"Looks like it" I replied, there was a crack in the wall like in the game and it looked right
We put Link down and examined the wall carefully. The crack was a little too small for us to squeeze through, and we weren't going to try and see if we could fit through.
"Link will have bombs on him won't he?" Lucy asked leaning on the rock
"Yeah, we can use those" I said and ran back to Link
I searched Link's pockets and cam across a bomb and a piece of flint; I guess Link isn't one for a modern lighter.
I ran back to the crack and told Lucy to take Link's shield and cover herself and Link with it while I lit the bomb.
I placed the bomb next to the crack and set about trying to light the fuse. How hard could it be? I mean, it's a rock and a piece of string for god's sake. Very hard. Took me a full ten minutes to work out how to get a spark out of the dumb thing.
Finally I lit the fuse and scrambled back to crouch behind the shield with Lucy and Link. One moment and a huge explosion later, we stuck our heads out to see a huge passage had been revealed heading inside the rock. Score.
How was that chapter, kinda strange as it had NO swearing in whatsoever! What an achievement I think. It was also quite long for my standards so, merry x-mas and a happy new year guys, come back soon!!
