Hello! I have been listening to this clip of invader zim making fun of DBZ…so hilarious! "We need to go someplace completely desolate and that would never be in the real life at all and is huge and is a bagillion miles wide and its nowhere to be found on earth but its…right over there…" mwahahahaha! Good stuff…lol anyways…
So yeah I got 3 reviews for chapter 5 ::sniff:: (yay) and I already got the 21st reviewer and she asked me a question:
Are Link and Legend going to be a couple?
The answer to it is…SORRY! Since you weren't the 21st reviewer you don't get to know…but if you're the 25th then you can ask if ya want…anywhoozle on with chapter 6! This is a really long chapter so don't complain if I took too long, k? k.
Chapter 6: stilldonthaveatitlebutthatsokbecauseyoudontneedatitletoreadastoryright?
Legend looked towards where Link stormed off as a doctor began to clean and bandage her hand.
"Hello! Are you listening to me?" Legend turned back to the doctor who was apparently talking to her.
"Huh? Oh sorry what did you say?"
"I said that you should clean this everyday with this," he held up a bottle of greenish-bluish liquid.
"What is it?" Legend asked.
"It's a potion to help heal and clean the wound. Like I said, clean it everyday with this and rewrap it. Don't leave it unwrapped because it can open up further and you wouldn't want that. Just know that this will leave a big scar. I've slowed the bleeding a bit but be careful." Legend nodded.
When he was done wrapping her hand, Legend walked in the direction Link went but was stopped by a mob of people telling her how great she was and all that stuff. She attempted to push through them, "Excuse me please. I-I need to get through. Excuse me!" no one seemed to listen until Sheik came through and told them to leave her alone. She looked at him.
"Thanks…"
"Link is in the library." He stated.
"Where the hell is the library?" Legend asked herself, going over all the rooms in her head that Zelda showed her on their "tour". Nothing seemed to click. (When does it ever?)
"I will show you if you'd like." As much as she didn't want to go with him, she nodded anyway and followed him. Like before, they walked down seemingly endless hallways and a bagillion stairs and finally made it to the library. They walked in and boy o boy was it huge! (think of the library in the castle from the beauty and the beast only bigger and instead of all of them against a wall, it's kinda like a real library with all the shelves and everything…yeah) It had the amount of levels for every floor of the castle so it was possible to get to they library from any level of the castle. All Legend needed to do was remember where the doors were…yeah that'll happen. In the middle of each level was a hole guarded with rails that allowed you to look at the other levels. Legend and Sheik were on the third level.
She shrieked, "Holy shit. How am I supposed to find him in here? Dammit Link, why does he have to make things difficult?! Damn it all!" Legend went on with a long string of obscenities and profane words, and lemme tell ya, that is A LOT of profanity! Sheik seemed to be quite amused with Legend's frustration and ACTUALLY cracked a smile and let loose a "heh".
Legend turned to look at him, "What the fuck are you laughing at?"
He continued to smile, "I'm sensing a bit of hostility."
"Yeah and if you don't wipe that smile off your face, you're not gonna have one to look at!"
Sheik's smile faded and he had somewhat of a surprised look on his face. Legend noticed and began to laugh.
"I love the reactions I get from people here. Geez you act like I was serious or something! Besides I wouldn't be able to beat in your face," she walked up to him, "I'm too short!" she smiled and laughed again.
Sheik laughed a bit too and started to walk away, "Good luck finding Link." And in a puff of smoke…he was gone!
Legend turned around to look at the library again and sighed. "Man this could take all day! I bet he'll leave before I look through the first 2 levels!" she decided to stay on the level she was on and look there first. She looked around the entire floor and didn't find him. She went to the middle where the hole was and looked down to see if she could see Link from there. She didn't see him on the second level and the first was to hard to see from where she was so she went to the other end of the floor she was on and went down a staircase that led to the second level. She continued from there to the first and once she got on the first floor, she spotted Link in one of the aisles. She walked towards him and when he spotted her he started to walk away in the other direction.
"Link! Link stop!" he kept walking and soon began a faster pace. She had to almost run to catch up with him. When she finally did catch up with him, she grabbed him by the shoulder and spun him around so that he was facing her, "Link what's wrong? Why are you trying to get away from me?" he didn't answer but instead he turned around and started to walk again. She followed, "Oh come on ya big baby!" he stopped abruptly and Legend crashed into his back, "OW. Dammit." She rubbed her nose. She meant to ask, "Why are you mad at me?!" but it came out, "Bwy are you bad at be?" Link looked at her.
"I-I'm not mad at you." she looked at him oddly.
"Then why are you walking away from me…and you wouldn't talk to me?"
"Because I…" she couldn't hear what he said because he mumbled the end of his sentence.
"What was that?"
He sighed, "Because I lost. You beat me."
She was silent for a few seconds and blinked a couple times in confusion, "So?"
He sighed again, "You wouldn't understand."
"Well that's why you should tell me! So I will have a better understanding of you young heroes," he didn't say anything, "OOOkay. Since you aren't gonna tell me I'll guess…is it…'cause 'Zelly' was watchin'" she nudged him in the ribs. He shook his head. "OK, was it because…I'm a girl?" he shook his head again. "Alright I give up! Tell me!"
"It's because…I'm the Hero of Time. Heroes of Time don't lose."
"Well then maybe it's a sign saying 'quit while you're ahead'!" Legend joked. Link didn't say anything. She rolled her eyes, "For cryin' out- that was a JOKE Link!"
"Yeah? Well I didn't think it was very funny. But you know what is?"
Legend sighed in exasperation, "NO but I bet you're gonna tell me!"
"Damn right I'll tell you."
"Well tell me already!"
"I will! What's so funny is the fact that you think you're so great and strong, yet you still need me to help you beat this thing before it destroys us! I'm surprised you're even helping us!"
"For one thing, I never said I was all that great, and I'm not doing this for you, Link! I'm doing it for my people and my home! The only reason I have to do it here is because you don't have half a working brain cell to get rid of him on your own! But if you think that you can kill him off alone, then by all means, I will leave!"
"…I didn't say that-" Legend cut him off.
"Well it sure sounded like it to me! And I'll bet that if everyone here didn't favor you, they would have enough common sense to agree with me." Link was fuming by then.
"Look Legend, I don't know who the hell you think you are to just come here and act like you rule the world and that you're the best one here! I think that if YOU had enough common sense, you would see that you don't have any right whatsoever to talk to anyone like you are, and that includes me! Since the moment that you came here, you have done nothing but cause me trouble and argue with me! First, you stole my horse! Then in the temple you did nothing but argue and insult me! Then, you made me break all those dishes in that restaurant! I can go on!"
"Spare us of your stupidity."
"See? There you go again."
"I don't give a flying fuck, Link. Like I said before, if you don't want me here, I'd be more than happy to leave! But it seems that you don't want me to leave!" she began to walk away from him and as she was walking out of the nearest door you could here her say, "And you STILL have to wear the dress!"
'Man that was stupid of me! Why was I arguing with him in the first place? How did it start…let's see he was mad cause I beat him, I made a joke, he got mad and started…HEY! He's the one who was arguing with me! But it was stupid of me to keep going with it…and it was stupid for me to leave without directions to my room!' Legend began to walk around in search for her room. When she passed the thrown room, she knew she was going the right way. After about 20 minutes of walking around even more endless hallways and up another bagillion stairs, she found her room! And standing in front of her room was none other than…Jessie the maid. She was knocking on the door. Legend gave her a look that said 'You are not smart'. She walked up to her, "Uh…excuse me, Jessie?" she turned to her.
"OH! There you are! And here all this time I thought you were in your room!" she began to laugh.
"How long were you waiting here?"
"Oh only about ten minutes…I thought you may have been resting so I waited a bit."
"Jessie, I wonder about you."
"Oh that's so nice! Most people don't because I'm just a lil ol' maid." She smiled. Legend shook her head. She walked into the room and Jessie followed her.
"Did you need something?"
"Oh yes! The king has requested that you come down to the princess's garden at 17:00." (5:00 for all those who don't know)
"What for?"
"Oooh I can't say…it's a surprise!" she began to giggle. Legend un-strapped her scabbard and quiver and set them against the wall by her bed. She jumped onto her bed and lay down. Jessie was still standing there.
"Anything else?" she lifted her head from the pillow.
"Oh no Miss Legend. That's all I was told to tell you."
"OK." She lay back down, but Jessie remained. Legend looked at her, "You can go now."
"OH! Right. Goodbye." With that, Jessie left. Legend looked at the time. It was 15:02. That gave her enough time to take a walk in Hyrule Field. She got up and walked to the door but before opening it, she took a look behind her at the balcony.
"Well…it's better than getting lost trying to find a way out of here…" she walked onto the balcony and jumped down. She landed with a small thud but lost her balance and fell.
"That was fun." She stood up and began to dust herself off. She walked all around bypassing a few guards. One of them didn't seem to know who she was so he threw her out.
"OW!" she got up and rubbed her butt, "That was rude." She continued into the Castle town and out to the field. She looked around. She began to walk to the east, towards Gerudo Valley. Of course she didn't know it was Gerudo Valley, but she was only planning on walking around the field. When she passed Lon Lon Ranch, she made a left turn and continued that way. She kept walking at a slow pace. When she was near the bushes near the entrance to Lake Hylia, she saw a big green, spiky…thing. As she got a little closer to it, it got up and began flying towards her. She reached for her sword but realized, "I left it in my room!" she immediately started to run away as fast as she could away from the…thing. After it stopped following her, she heard a laugh that she heard once before. She turned to where the laugh was coming from and saw, "A poe." She started to run from that too, "Why do I get attacked by stupid…things when I don't have my weapons with me?!" After she managed to outrun the poe, she stopped to catch her breath. After she was breathing normally again, she looked around to make sure nothing else was following her and continued her walk. After she walked a bit more, she stopped in front of the small river that led to Zora's Domain. She bent down and took a drink. She sat down and rested her chin on her knees. She looked up into the sky.
"Holy shit! What time is it?" she jumped up and began to run to the castle. As she neared the drawbridge, another poe appeared and was about to whack her in the face with its lamp. Before it did, she fell to the ground and rolled, got back up and ran again. She got passed the drawbridge and went into the town. Of course, the town just HAD to be busy so she was trying to weave through the crowds of people and after a few minutes of bumping into every person in sight, she ran to the gate that led to the castle. She was out of breath when she got there. She saw the guard and walked up to him, but he wasn't Caleb, "I…need to get in…please."
"Do you have an appointment?"
"What? No, I'm staying in the castle."
"I don't think so. Unless you have some proof, you're not getting in here."
"Aw come on! I'm probably already late!"
"Nope. Now go away, I don't want you bugging me. I have a job to do." Legend looked at him unbelievably and walked away. As she was walking away she spotted a vine on the wall. She walked up to it and checked to see if it was strong enough. It was so she began to climb it. When she got to the top she walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down at the guard and smiled. She continued on to the other side and jumped down. 'Some job he's doing. Doesn't even notice that I'm on the other side…' she continued on and passed by all the guards and they let her through. She finally made it to the entrance of the castle. She saw two guards at the entrance and walked up to them,
"Uh yeah hi. I need to know how to get to the garden…"
They gave her directions and she ran to the garden. When she got there, a small group of people was already there and they all looked at her when she entered.
"Uh…hi…am I late?"
The king stood up, "Miss Legend. So you've decided to grace us with your presence after all." Link snorted, "Please, have a seat." She walked up slowly to the seat they reserved for her which just happened to be between Link and Sheik. She was about to ask Link what they were doing but figured he wouldn't answer her anyway so she asked Sheik, "What's going on?"
"There's going to be a little performance."
"O-kay…?" At that moment, someone came out in a Court Jester's outfit…ya know the one's with the red and black outfits and the shoes that curl up at the toe and that little hat that has the bells and everything…(for those without much imagination, think of the jokers in a deck of cards) The person in the suit looked familiar…too familiar, "Oh my…that's Jessie isn't it."
"With pride! Hehehehehe." Her laugh was, to say the least, unbearable. She started doing flips all around the garden and saying jokes…surprisingly some weren't half bad…she actually got the crowd going. She did everything from tricks and jokes to flirting with every man in sight…including Link.
Everyone was clapping and cheering for her. At the end of her performance, she was getting ready to leave but before she did, she flipped right over to Legend and Link.
"This was a welcome to our guests, Miss Legend, Sir Link." She took a small bow and before she left, she grabbed Link, pulled him down by the shirt and gave him a big smooch square on the lips. Gasps came from everyone, and Legend stood there wide-eyed and open-mouthed, holding in her laughter.
When Jessie let go of Link, she took one last bow and disappeared in a puff of smoke, "Thank you everyone!" Link stood there, shocked and speechless. Everyone else, still laughing and enjoying the night's performance, left the garden while Link, Legend and Sheik stayed behind (Sheik being there to keep Legend from getting lost).
Legend turned to him, "Ha…Ha…Ha…Ha…you got kissed…by JESSIE!! Ha ha ha ha ha! That sure made my day!" Sheik began to laugh as well.
Link looked at them with a blank expression on his face, "That was NOT funny. How would YOU feel if…Sheik kissed you?!" Legend looked at Sheik. He looked up at them.
"Better than Jessie!" she laughed again. Link pushed her lightly, and she continued to laugh, "Fine, if you think you won't react like I did, why don't we have Sheik kiss you."
Legend stopped laughing, "What was that?"
"What was that?" Sheik added.
"Since you don't think you'll react the same way I did, have Sheik kiss you and prove it." Link smiled evilly.
"HA! I don't think so Link. I don't need to prove anything to you!"
"I think you're just afraid that you will react the same way as me…or…you might like it!"
"WHAT?!"
"That's what I said. And if you don't do it, there will be no proof."
"You're just trying to trick me. It won't work."
"Oh it has worked. I see you blushing. I can sense your thoughts…you know you want him to kiss
you. Just like Jessie did it, by grabbing you and just layin' one on ya."
Legend seemed to think about it, "Mmmm…nope. That's ok. Besides, I don't think Sheik wants to be a part of this."
"Oh I don't know…sounds interesting." Sheik declared.
"What?" Link and Legend both exclaimed.
He smiled, "I think it would be fun to see Miss Legend crack." Link smiled and Legend stood in between the two other men.
"This isn't fair! You two are ganging up on me!" Legend whined.
"No we're not!" Link stated.
"Ganging up on you would be like…backing you up into a wall," they started to do just that, "And purposely towering over you."
"Not that we would have much trouble doing that naturally."
"Hey! I consider that an insult!" they continued to tower over her, "You guys are so mean. What happened to the OLD Sheik who never said anything and just kept me from getting lost, heh?"
"Hey, he's gotta have a little fun, right? And making you crack is just the thing to do it." Link said, smiling that evil, cocky smile again.
"I hate you."
"Tsk Tsk…hate is such a strong word Miss Legend." Sheik said. They stopped trying to back her up.
"Hmph…by the looks of it, it seems as if Sheik wants to for reasons other than trying to make me crack."
"That won't work. I know what you're trying to do Miss Legend, and it won't work. But really, having to guard the princess all day every day does tend to get a bit boring, so let me have a little fun."
"Ya know, I don't think I'm gonna do that."
Link smiled, "Hey Sheik, I know what we'll do," Legend looked at him suspiciously, "I'll hold her down while you go in for the kill…I mean kiss." Legend's expression at that moment was priceless.
"You wouldn't."
"I would."
"You do it and I'll kill you both."
"But you need me to keep you from getting lost."
"I'll manage."
"You need me to help you kill Malvaagita."
"Then I'll kill you after we do that."
"Mmm I don't think you will."
"Do you bet your life on that, Link?"
"Yes, Legend, I do."
"Then I may as well kill you now." Link smiled at her remark and began to approach her. She backed up a few steps and when he kept coming closer, she turned and ran. Of course he chased her, though. She ran out of the main part of the garden into the small hedge maze and ran around the stone platform. Sheik stayed in the garden, because he had a feeling that he didn't need to go out there and help Link. He was right, a few seconds later, Link came in carrying Legend over his shoulder. Of course you'd expect her to be flailing her arms and kicking her legs, and she was, "Put me down, Link! Or I swear I'll kick your puny ass!"
"My ass is not puny!"
"Do you check out your own ass or something?"
"No! Shut up!" he set her down but held on to her, "Hurry up Sheik." Sheik walked towards them.
Link held her hands with one of his own and put his other hand behind her waist. She started to move around with her legs so he put one if his around hers (Don't be nasty!). Since she was being held captive, so to speak, she did all she could, she screamed. Link covered her mouth with his hand to stop her from screaming so she bit him, "Ow!"
"That's what you get! Now let go!" She tried to back up into him to loosen his grip, but since one of his legs was around hers, he lost his balance and fell, taking Legend with him. When they fell, she ended up elbowing him in his stomach and winding him. Sheik started to laugh at the site of them tangled on the ground. Legend rolled off Link only to see his face contorted with pain.
"You OK Link?" Legend asked.
He got up and was hunched over slightly. He started a staggering walk; "I think you hit him in a place OTHER than his stomach."
"Oops." Legend laughed.
"Shall I take you back to your room?"
"Ah…you go ahead, I'll catch up with you in a bit." He nodded and walked away. Legend lay down on the ground and put her hands behind her head and stared up into the sky.
A little boy ran into the wooded area. He had light brown hair and brightest smile and green eyes you could ever see. He was about 9 years old. He giggled as he ran through the woods and turned his head back to see if she was following him. When he saw that she wasn't there, he hid behind a large tree. He waited there for a few minutes, looking around occasionally to see where she was. As he was looking, someone grabbed him from behind, "Gotcha!"
She began to tickle him and he screamed and laughed wildly, "Legend! Stop-it!" she continued to tickle and he continued to laugh and squirm to try and get away. After she thought he had enough, she stopped tickling the little boy and gave him a few minutes to breathe. She got up and picked him up, "Legend?" she started walking out of the woods.
"Hm?"
"Can you teach me how to use a sword like you?"
She smiled, "Maybe some other time, but right now," she set him down, "Tag! You're it!" she ran away and he started to chase her. She managed to lose him, so she started to look out for him. All of a sudden she heard a small rumble and a scream. She gasped, "Aiden!" she listened for his screams.
"Legend! Help!!" when she found him, he was being held by some kind of monster. It was tall and had a humpback. It had sharp claws on each of its fingers and toes, four small eyes, and it was black all over, "Legend! Help me!" Aiden cried out as the creature's claws were unwillingly tearing and clawing at his back. Legend reached for her sword but it wasn't there, and neither was her quiver and bow. The creature then jumped into the air and disappeared, "Legend!!"
"NO! Aiden!!" she fell to the ground and screamed, "No!" she screamed and cried and called out his name-
"NO!" Legend sprung up in her bed. She was breathing heavily, "When did I come in my room?" she said to herself.
There was a small knock at the door and before Legend could say anything, Link came in, "Are you
OK? I heard you screaming."
She looked at him and nodded, "Yeah I'm fine."
Link walked in and sat on the edge of the bed, "You sure?" she nodded again, "I went back to look for you when I saw that you weren't following me. I found you asleep on the ground so I brought you to your room."
She nodded once again, "Oh." She scratched her hand and realized that it bled through and she needed to change the bandage. She got out of bed and saw that she was still in her tunic so before she got the potion for her hand, she grabbed the pair of pajamas she wore the night before. They were laid out for her on the dresser. She threw them on the bed and went to the bathroom. Link followed. She started to unwrap the bandage, and her hand was still bleeding. Link looked at it with that look that says 'ouch'. Legend didn't seem to be bothered with it. She had a blank expression on her face and seemed to be in another world. She poured some of the potion onto a piece of cloth and began to wipe the wound with it.
Link looked at the bottle, "I've used that before. It really stings doesn't it?" she didn't answer,
"Legend?" he snapped his finger in front of her face.
She was startled and snapped out of it, "Huh? Sorry." She finally realized that she was putting too much of the potion on her hand and it took effect. She hissed in pain and her hand was shaking. She closed her eyes and waited for the pain to alleviate. She took a deep breath and began to wrap it with new bandages.
Link looked at her doubtfully, unsure if he should ask. He did, "Hey Legend."
She looked at him, "Hm?"
"What was wrong? I mean…what happened?"
She smiled, "It was just a bad dream, that's all. Just kinda spooked me a bit."
Link nodded and smiled, "Hey about that fight earlier in the library…"
"Don't worry about it." Link smiled again
He laughed, "You can't stand being wrong, huh?" Link began to walk out.
"Hey, Link." He turned to her, "You don't have to wear the dress."
"Damn. I was really hoping I could."
She laughed, "Well you still can."
"But then I won't have an excuse for it!"
Legend pushed Link out of her room, "Go to bed Link."
The next morning…
"Rise and shine, Miss Legend! It's time to get up and get dressed so that you can go down to breakfast!" it was Jessie.
Legend rolled around in her bed and mumbled, "Go away…"
"Aw come on Miss Legend, it's time to get up. The king is expecting you for breakfast!" she said cheerily.
Legend threw a pillow at her, "I don't wanna…"
"Ohh quit your whining Legend!" Link came into the room "Get up! We gotta go! There's a lot we have to do today!" he walked up to her bed and ripped the covers and sheets from her.
"OK, OK, I'm up!" she started to get up. She kicked Link and Jessie out so she could change.
"Legend! Don't leave me alone with Jessie! She might try something again." Link shivered.
"Fine. One of you stays in here and the other leaves. I'll change in the bathroom." Link told Jessie that she could leave and she said OK and left.
Legend came out of the bathroom a few minutes later, this time in a red tunic that was given to her by one of the maids, and her hair was in a ponytail again. Of course her bangs were still covering her eyes. The pair walked out of the room and to the dining hall, and Legend still didn't know which way to go. Breakfast was relatively quiet except for the occasional, "What's everybody up to?"
After Breakfast, Legend decided she wanted to go riding out in the field with Myth and Link said he would join her. They left the castle and the guard that kicked Legend out the first time saw her with Link and apologized. When they went through the gate, Legend gave the guard a piercing stare. He had a puzzled look on his face and soon realized that he made a mistake the night before by not letting her in, but then he wondered how she got in…
They continued to walk through the castle town and out into the field. Myth was near the castle moat but Link had to play Epona's song because she was off doing who knows what. They both mounted their horses and before they took off Legend asked Link, "What happened to Navi?"
"Oh yeah. Sometimes she likes to go off flying somewhere and take a break. I don't know exactly what she does though…never told me."
"Oh well." They both began to ride, galloping at a somewhat moderate pace, all the while talking about nothing in particular. They rode for about an hour, and after that, Link took Legend to Lake Hyila to fish.
"Why are we fishing?"
"Because it's fun!"
"No it's not."
"Yes it is"
"No it's not."
"Yes it is! Now shut up and fish!" Legend threw in her line and waited…and waited…and waited…
She sighed, "I thought you said this was fun."
"It is. When you actually catch one." Legend, unexpectedly pushed Link into the water and he made a huge splash.
"Now THAT was fun!" Just as Link was getting out of the water, ready to get her back, something tugged on her line, "Hey! I think I got one!"
"Well reel it in!"
"I am TRYING!" she was trying to reel it in slowly.
"Hurry up before you lose it!"
"Shut up and be patient! It's heavy!" after a few more minutes of tugging and reeling, she FINALLY caught the fish. It was 16 pounds or so. They took it to the man at the desk and he gave Legend 50 rupees.
"Wahoo! I got fifty rupees! I got fifty rupees!" she said in a singsong voice.
"Yeah, how's about you give me fifty rupees as a payment for all that food I bought you."
Legend looked at him like he was crazy, "Yeah Link, that'll happen." She laughed and started to walk away with her new prize but Link grabbed the rupee and started to run off. Legend started chasing him, "Hey! Come back here you little shit!"
"Uh…no. I happen to like this rupee. Purple is such a NICE color!"
"Why you…I'm gonna kick your ass!" they ran all around the lake, dropping their weapons here and there, and when Legend finally caught up with him, she jumped on his back, "Ew you're wet!"
He was struggling to get her off, "Yes that does tend to happen when you get pushed in the water…speaking of which…" Link held on to Legend and ran over to the edge of the lake.
"Oh no…don't you DARE!" she tried to get free but his hold on her was too tight.
"I hope you know how to swim, Legend." He lifted her and threw her in the water. There was a big splash, "Geez Legend, I didn't know you could make such a big splash. No wonder my shoulders hurt…how much do you weigh?" she gave him the 'evil eye' and swam to the edge.
"Help me up." he held out his hand to her and she grabbed it. As she was getting up, she pulled him into the water and he flew in with a plop, "Ouch…nice belly flop, Link." Link then gave HER the evil eye and she started to swim back to the edge. As she was getting up onto the land, Link grabbed her and pulled her in the water, "Ah!" she made another splash and resurfaced, "I hate you."
Link smiled, "Hate is such a strong word, Legend." He said, repeating the words Sheik said the night before. She then attempted to attack him, but he grabbed her and flipped her over his head. When she got back up, she used this as the perfect time to dunk him. She dug her knee into his back and dunked his head under. He lost his hat in the process, but he was more worried about breathing.
She kept him under for a few minutes, and when she thought he had enough, she let him come up. He came up with a gasp for air.
"You alright there, Link?" Legend said in a mocking tone.
He smiled mischievously, "Oh yeah, I'm fine. But you won't be in a few seconds." He started to swim towards her and she tried to get away. He caught her within a few seconds, because frankly, swimming is NOT Legend's strong point. Unfortunately, when he grabbed her, he also grabbed her hand roughly, inflicting MUCHO pain and reopening the wound. Legend squirmed at the pain.
"Oh my goddesses. I'm so sorry Legend!"
Legend squeaked, "It's ok." After she started to get over the pain she looked at Link, "Where's my rupee?"
He chuckled, "That's a secret." (O.o xellos wannabe)
"Ya know if my hand wasn't killing ME right now, it'd be killing YOU." her hand was still bleeding.
They finally got out of the water without managing to wrestle each other, and they strapped their weapons back on. They tried to wring out as much water from their clothes and hair as possible. The sun was beginning to set at this time, so they mounted their horses, left the lake, and rode back to the castle. By the time they reached it, the sun had set and the drawbridge was about to go up.
They dismounted and ran into the town just before the bridge started to rise.
Later that night…
"Remember, tomorrow is the ball. Invitations were sent out two days ago." Zelda stated, "Link, there will be clothes laid out for you tomorrow morning and you can choose what you like. Legend, you are free to wear anything in your room. There are quite a few dresses and gowns in the closet."
She nodded, "Thank you, highness." It was late, so everyone decided they would turn in.
The next morning…
Legend woke up to the sound of birds chirping. She yawned and stretched. There was a small knock at the door, "Come in" she said tiredly. It was Jessie and Link. Jessie came in to give her some more clothes and to clean the room and Link came to…well he really didn't have a reason to come. Legend went to change and wash up, and this time, she had on a black tunic, and she left her hair down.
She strapped on her weapons and she and Link walked out of the room. After breakfast they just decided to walk around Hyrule Castle Town.
"Hey Legend. You've got your bow with you, how about you try the shooting game?"
"OK. Lead the way." Link led her to the building of the shooting game. He walked up to the guy working there and handed him a purple rupee.
"HEY! That's my money!"
"Yeah but you're the one playing the game, so it would only be right if you paid!" the man handed him back a red rupee and two blues.
The man gave Legend 15 arrows, and she took out her bow. She got ready to shoot, and when she heard the whistle, she waited for the first one to come. She missed three, so she decided to try it again.
"Pay him for another game Link!" Link shook his head, but paid him anyway and Legend was handed another 15 arrows. She heard the whistle again and began to shoot. She had a quick draw but she still missed two.
"Since you got eight of em, I'll give you a free game."
"Wahoo! Ok I'm gonna get em this time."
"Sure Legend. You're all talk."
"Shut up!" he laughed. Legend got ready to shoot again, but still, she only got eight. She played about three more times, each time getting either eight or nine.
"Arg! I can't get that stupid green one!"
"I think you've had enough Legend."
"NO! I won't stop 'til I get it!" Link sighed.
"Alright, if you wanna be here all day…I guess we'll just miss the ball."
"Oh please…like you even WANTED to go to it!"
"You've got a point there…" Legend started to shoot again, and she finally got the last one!
She began to jump, "YES! Finally!! I won I won! What did I win?" the man handed her a bundle of arrows and a red rupee. Legend stared at it, "That's it? For all that hard work, this is all I get?"
"Hey you're the one who insisted on playing that much." The man said.
"Yeah because I thought the prize would actually be good!"
"If you don't like it, you could always give it back!"
"Whatever. This game sucks-" Link grabbed her and started to pull her away.
"Let's go Legend."
"But I wasn't done bitching at him!"
"Yes you are. Let's go."
Later…
Legend was lying on her bed in her room. It was about 16:00, and Mildred had just come into her room.
"Hello, dear. The ball is going to be starting in about two hours. First you will be having dinner with all the guests."
"Well, looks like I should choose what to wear then, huh?"
"No," Mildred said, "First, you need to bathe!" she shoved Legend into the bathroom. She bathed etc
etc…she also changed her bandages again.
She searched through the closet, looking for a dress to wear. First she pulled out a pale pink dress.
It had long sleeves with balloon shoulders. She tossed it to the side, "Bleh." She continued to look in the closet. She found a very nice dark blue one. It was sleeveless and had a small v-line bodice and it had a small train. She went to try it on but soon realized that it was way too small for her. She was having some trouble getting it off, but after a few minutes of pulling and tugging, and a few falls here and there, she managed to get it off. After about a half hour more of looking and trying things on, there were two piles. One of the 'reject' dresses and the other was a pile of 'possible choices'.
She still searched, trying to find something better, and finally she came across one that she couldn't say no to. It was a maroon colored, sleeveless (not strapless) dress. Just like the blue one, it had a v-line bodice only the straps were further down her shoulders. It had a thin line of silver trimming all around it. The color also seemed to have a bit of silver in it when it was reflected by light. It was one of those kinds that kind of puffed out below the waist, but not too much.
"Oh! I love it!" she said. Mildred smiled.
"I'm sure you will look very beautiful in it." Legend smiled back at her and went to change. Just as Mildred said, she looked beautiful. She twirled.
"What do you think? I don't normally like dresses but this one is an exception." She smiled again.
"It's perfect. Now I need to do your hair."
"But, what's wrong with-"
"Hush. Hand me that brush over there on the dresser. And those clips. And those-" Legend walked over the dresser and gave her what she asked for, "OK sit." She sat on a chair. Mildred started to brush her hair and she started to comb her bangs back too.
"Wait! What are you doing?"
"You'll see."
"But why are you brushing my bangs back?"
"I said you'll see!" Legend sighed. When she was done a few minutes later, she told Legend to look in a mirror.
She smiled. Her bangs were put into braids and tied back around her head, so obviously her eyes weren't covered. The rest of her hair was teased and curled a bit and there were tiny loose braids in a few places.
"You really shouldn't cover up that pretty face with your hair." Legend smiled again and nodded, shyly, "Now you'll be needing shoes. Hmmm…" Mildred shuffled around in the closet for a few minutes. She finally came out holding a pair of strapped heels matching the color of her dress. She handed them to Legend and she put them on. She stood up to walk, but when she tried, she tripped and almost fell. Mildred laughed and when Legend looked at her, she stopped, "Hmmm…it seems like you're missing something. I've got just the thing!" she snapped. She walked over to the dresser opened a small jewelry box. In it were many rings, bracelets, necklaces, etc etc. Mildred rustled through it and finally picked out a necklace and handed it to Legend. It was a silver chain with a red jewel hanging from it. The dress and the necklace were a pretty outfit, but when you add her eyes, it became much more than that. She stood up and gave Mildred a hug.
"Thank you for all this."
She hugged her back, "Of course, dear." They let go, "Now, you've still got a half hour before the ball. You can do whatever, just…don't mess up your hair." She winked at Legend and smiled. As
Legend opened the door out of her room, Link was about to knock.
"Oh uh Legend." He looked her over, "You look…nice."
She smiled, "So do you." he was wearing a white, kind of dressy, tunic that had a lot of gold in it. It was lined in gold, it had gold buttons and the pockets had gold trimmings too. He also had a pair of white pants that matched and gray-ish boots. (He looked kind of like that prince from Cinderella…that's the kind of tunic he had on.) He even had the gloves! His hair was combed and neat but he still had his bangs hanging over his forehead. They began to walk down the hall, "You're not wearing a dress, Link. I thought you wanted to."
He smiled, "I did, but Zelda wouldn't let me." They laughed. Legend was having a bit of trouble walking with the shoes and at one point she tripped, but Link, being Mr. Hero caught her before she fell.
She blushed, "Thanks…"
"Hey. You're bangs aren't covering your face today."
"Way to state the obvious, Link." They came to one of the many flights of stairs.
"Hmmm…maybe you had the right idea with covering your face." He laughed. Legend pushed him down the stairs, but luckily he caught on to the railing before he fell, "I almost fell, ya know."
"Almost isn't good enough." She continued to walk past him and he quickly followed. They went to the room where the ball was being held. There was a long, large table to one side of the room that was going to be used for dinner. There were workers everywhere, finishing decorating and setting up the small stage for the orchestra. The king walked over to the two.
"Ah, I see you are both ready. Miss Legend, you look lovely!"
She smiled, "Thank you, your highness."
Just then, Zelda came over, followed by Sheik, Impa, and the other Sages.
Saria ran over to Legend and grabbed her hands, "Oh Miss Legend! You're so beautiful!" Saria chirped. Legend smiled.
"Link. Don't you look handsome?" Zelda said, "Save me a dance?"
"Of course." He said.
After about half an hour, the ballroom was filled with people of all races. Hylians, Gorons, Zoras, even a few trusted Gerudos. There were also people from other lands surrounding Hyrule.
The King stood and got everyone's attention, "We will first be served our dinner, so please feel free to sit wherever you like." Everyone began to move around searching for a place to sit. Legend and Link sat across from each other. Zelda sat to one side of Link and Darunia was on the other. Next to
Legend was Saria and just as Rauru was moving to sit next to Legend, another man, most likely from another land, quickly sat next to her before Rauru had the chance.
"Humph." Rauru went to sit next to Saria instead. Of course, Harkinian was at the head of the table.
Zelda was the first seat on the left of the king.
Harkinian stood up, "Thank you everyone, for coming all this way to welcome our guests, the Hero of Time, Link and from Palto, Miss Legend Almas and for the celebration of a hopefully, successful plan." Everyone began to clap as they were served their dinners.
"Thank you." Legend said as a servant set down her plate of food and a glass of red wine.
"A toast to the success of Link and Legend," Link and Legend looked at each other and smiled. Harkinian raised his glass, and soon everyone else did, "And to the upcoming crowning of my daughter, Zelda." He smiled and Zelda smiled back at him. They began to eat.
After dinner…
Everyone stood up and moved to the floor as the servants began to clean the table. Everyone was so dressed up, even Rauru changed into new robes, and all the other Sages had something nice on, including Darunia and Ruto. Even Sheik changed out of his normal blue spandex to a tunic much like
Link's only gray with black boots.
As Legend and Zelda began to walk to the ballroom floor, about five men surrounded them each, while a few women surrounded Link. Link and Legend didn't know who any of the people were, so they just said yes to the first one of them who asked them to dance. Zelda on the other hand knew who each and every one of them was because apparently, they were all royalty.
Legend ended up dancing with a man from another land named Derek. The orchestra began to play a waltz. Legend held onto her dress as she danced. They danced in silence, not saying a word. After the dance was over, another man came up to Legend. It was the one who sat next to her during dinner.
"You must be Legend." The man said. He was dressed like Link but princelier. He was tall and had short, dark hair.
"Yes I am."
"I am Wesley, Prince of Arambula." He took her hand and brushed his lips across it, "It is a pleasure
meeting you, Miss Legend." she could only stare, "May I have this dance, m' lady?"
Elsewhere, Zelda walked up to Link, "How about that dance you promised me." Link forced a smile
and led her to the floor.
"What happened to your hand, Miss Legend?"
"I was cut with a dagger during a duel." He nodded. They were silent for a few minutes.
"You have very beautiful eyes, Miss Legend."
"Uh…thank you." Wesley smiled.
"I don't mean to be nosy, but are you and Link 'together' by any chance?"
She looked at him oddly, "Noo…"
"Do you have a beaux?"
She hesitated to answer, "Yes. I do."
"Oh. Is he here?"
"No. He is on Palto." Wesley nodded.
She blinked. Just then, images of Legend's village flooded into her head. There were creatures that looked like the one from her dream. They were destroying the village, burning and knocking down everything in sight. All the villagers were struck with panic and they all began to run around in attempts of getting away. One of the creatures grabbed one of the villagers. He was yelling and crying out for help until the creature ripped him apart.
Legend breathed in sharply; "Are you alright, Miss Legend?" Wesley asked when she stopped dancing. She didn't answer. She had a far-off look in her eyes, "Miss Legend?" People began to crowd around, wondering what was going on. Link and the Sages couldn't see anything because of all the people. The images continued.
The creatures were wreaking havoc on the village; killing anyone they could get their hands on. Most of the village was on fire, and people were doing anything they could to get away. Then, she saw someone standing in front of a man, woman and a child as if protecting them. He held a sword in his hand. She then realized that he was someone she knew. It was her instructor, so to speak. He was the one who taught her how to wield and use a sword and a bow. And the people that he was protecting were her family. Before he could do anything, the creature knocked him away and he landed too far from them to be able to help. Then the creature stepped up to her father, picked him up and slaughtered him. Legend screamed, but it didn't stop there. It went on to kill her mother and Legend collapsed. Then, the creature picked up her brother, jumped into the air and disappeared, just like in her dream. She continued to see other images of others being killed and the village being further destroyed. "No…NO!"
Legend was on the ground, crying, yelling, shaking and having a breakdown. It was at that moment that Rauru knew what happened. He looked into her mind and saw what she was seeing.
Link and the sages finally made it through the crowd to see Legend bawling and sprawled out on the floor. Link walked up to her and knelt down, laying a hand on her shoulder, "Legend. Legend, what's wrong?" Rauru walked up to him.
"She had a vision."
"Of what? What happened? What did she see that would make her cry like this?!" Link said, raising his voice slightly. There were murmurs in the crowd saying things like 'what's going on' or 'poor girl,
I wonder what happened'.
"She saw a vision of destruction. The only way you will understand what she saw is if you saw it for yourself."
"Well show me! I want to know what happened! Show me what she saw!" Link demanded.
"Very well then." Rauru used his powers to transmit the image to Link and to everyone else in the room. Gasps were heard from everyone, and Legend was still crying. Everyone was silent, except for more murmurs in the crowd.
"She needs rest." Rauru said. Link nodded and picked her up. He began to walk away.
"Where are you going, Link?" Zelda asked.
He didn't even look at her, "I'm taking her to her room."
Her crying didn't let up when they got to her room. Link laid her down on her bed and she cried herself to sleep. Link grabbed a chair and sat down, never taking an eye off her.
'Poor Legend. Having to see her family get slaughtered and her village destroyed. And she couldn't even help…'
The next day…
Link woke up to see that Legend wasn't in her bed. He looked around the room until he spotted her leaning over the balcony. She must have changed when she woke up, because she was now in her own blue tunic. Link stood up and walked over to her.
"Hey." he said.
She didn't look at him, she only sniffled.
"Um, Legend…I-"
"Now I know why I enjoyed being with Saria so much. She reminded me of my little brother. She was just like him, full of life and energy. Always smiling. But now…he's…" tears began to stream down her face. Link put an arm around her and she turned to him and began to cry into his chest.
"Shh…it's ok." After a few minutes she let go of him.
"I'm sorry." She took a deep breath, "I can't stay here anymore. I have to leave." She wiped her face and started to walk away.
"What? What do you mean? Leave the castle?"
She shook her head as she picked up a small sack of her belongings and her weapons, "I mean I can't
stay here. In Hyrule. I have to go back."
"But you can't." he walked up to her. She walked towards the door but Link blocked her, "You can't
leave, Legend." she looked at him and turned away. She walked to the balcony and jumped off. Link
followed her. She went to the temple and dropped her bag, "Rauru, get your ass in here, now!"
Rauru and the other sages appeared and Link ran into the temple followed by Sheik and Zelda.
"Is something wrong?" Saria asked.
"Open the portal."
"I'm sorry, I can't do that." Rauru said.
"Open…the portal…now!" she repeated slowly.
"I told you I can not do that. We need you here. You are our only chance of survival."
"For the love of- Open the damn portal!" she drew her sword and when she did, Sheik, Nabooru, and
Ruto took a hold of her to keep her from attempting to kill Rauru. She struggled, "Let go of me! I
won't stay here! You all can Die for all I care! You have no right to keep me here! Let me GO!" she
continued to struggle.
"Miss Legend, please, calm down." Saria pleaded.
"I swear if you don't let me go and open the portal, I will KILL you! Let me go! I refuse to stay here!
Get the hell off me! I'll kill you!" she finally got free from their hold but Link came in front of her.
"Get a hold of yourself Legend!" he slapped her and everyone was silent except for a few gasps.
Legend looked at Link sadly and put her hand to her face where he backhanded her, "Y-you hit me."
She whispered.
"Legend I-" before he could finish, she dropped her sword, took a few steps back and ran out of the
temple. (AN: ooh dramatic…like when Link was a kid and Saria gave him the ocarina… Jessie the
wonder llama: DON'T RUIN THE MOMENT! Author: sorry, sorry…)
Link only stood there, shocked at what he had just done. No one moved or made a sound.
Legend ran out of the temple and out to the field. There, she saw Myth and quickly mounted him.
She started to ride towards Lake Hylia…
"We have to find her! If Malvaagita can send his minions to Palto, then he can send them here!" Saria
exclaimed.
"She's right." Impa said, "Rauru, we must track her."
"Yes I know but…the aura on her that we use to track her shows that she is still here, right in front of
us." He pointed to where she was standing, but instead, only her sword remained.
"Her sword…it's her sword!" Nabooru replied.
Darunia was confused, "What? What do you mean?"
"Her sword is what we've been tracking all this time! It must have some sort of power to it." Nabooru
explained.
"But that means…we won't know where she is." Ruto pointed out.
"And if Malvaagita's minions are anywhere here, there would be no way she could fight them off."
Saria said.
"We must look for her. I will try my best to look over the land in case I find her, but I will remain in
the Temple." Rauru said. (lazy…)
"I'll check Death Mountain Crater and Kakariko then." Darunia added.
"There would be no way she could get into Zora's domain, so Nabooru and I will check Gerudo
Valley." Ruto said.
"I'll go to the Forest and the Lost Woods."
"Then I will look for her in the castle along with Sheik. Princess, we will escort you back first." Impa
declared. Zelda nodded.
"Link, you will be responsible for checking Lon Lon ranch and Lake Hylia." Rauru ordered. Link just
stood there for a few seconds before nodding in approval. They all went on their ways.
Legend rode all the way to the lake. The wind whipping in her face blew away any tears that escaped
her eyes. They jumped the fences and continued on. Once she reached the shore she dismounted
Myth and collapsed again, and she began to cry once more.
Link rode Epona to Lon Lon ranch.
"Link! Back so soon?" Malon teased.
"Malon, I really don't have much time. Has Legend been here at all?"
"No I'm sorry she hasn't. Is something wrong?"
"Uh no. everything's ok. It's just…Legend left again and we don't know where she went and…the king wanted to see her." He said, lying so as not to worry her.
"Well if she happens to stop by, I'll let her know you're lookin' for her."
"Thanks Malon." Link mounted Epona again and rode out of the ranch. He headed for Lake Hylia, and when her got to the fences, he saw a few horses waiting there, "Slow down, Epona, there could be trouble…" When she jumped over the fences, he pulled her reigns to make her stop and he jumped off. He kept walking, and when he got to the entrance of the lake where the cliff wall ended, he stopped and hid. He saw Legend on the ground, and behind her were about five of the same creatures from her vision coming towards her. Myth was all the way on the other side of the lake.
She lifted her head when she heard the footsteps and turned over to see the creatures tower over her. She began to crawl backwards but soon realized that she was surrounded. They began to close in on her until, "Hey! Leave her alone!" it was Link. He had his sword drawn and his shield at the ready. Two of the things came towards him while the others held Legend.
"Let go of me!" she tried to get free but one of them slashed at her back, ripping her clothes and causing her to fall in pain, "Ah." She tried to get up but one of the things knocked her back down.
Link was busy fighting the other two. He was having some trouble because they were so big. They were about twice his height and they had massive claws. It was hard to hold both of them off. As he went in to attack one, the other jumped in front of him and slashed his side. Link yelled in pain and slowly fell to his knees, holding his wound. Just then a man in all black with dark hair and dark eyes appeared between all of them. He had a staff with a purple jewel at the top, and he was wearing a cape.
He smiled and chuckled, "This is all the Hero of Time is capable of? And I was really looking forward to a challenge. Oh well."
Link was still holding his side, "Who…are you?" he asked, coughing up blood in the process.
"My name is Caativo. One of Malvaagita's best generals. I am the one responsible for the destruction of Csillag." He laughed again.
"You…" Legend struggled to get up, but when she tried, the creature knocked her down again.
"Ah yes…you must be that Legend girl I've heard so much about. Aren't you supposed to have some sort of 'ultimate power'? I guess not seeing as how you're too weak to even stand up." he chuckled again, "Yes, I had so much fun watching your family get slaughtered. And that little boy…"
She tried to get up again but she still couldn't, "I will kill you."
He laughed loudly and evilly, "You're a funny girl. Hmmm…you are both at my mercy right now but I think I'll let you go, " he motioned toward Link; "But you, Miss Legend, will be coming with me. Let's go." He disappeared and the creatures grabbed Legend again.
Link stood up, still in pain and bleeding, "No Legend!!"
She reached out for him, "Link! Help me, please!!"
"Legend!" he started to run towards her but he fell forward and they disappeared.
He could here Caativo's voice, "If you want to save her, come to my base in the desert." Link was on his knees, holding his side, which was bleeding profusely.
"Legend…" he whispered. Then he passed out.
What's gonna happen to Link? Is he gonna go save Legend? What's with this Caativo guy? And what does he want with Legend? What does he mean 'ultimate power'? All this and more hopefully to be answered in Chapter 7…uh don't have a title yet…
