Hello! Well I'm sure chapter 8 was a shocker to most of you who read it…er yeah…Thanks to Hero McAllen and Britannica Moore for reviewing me AGAIN! Anyway chapter 9 is going to be really short, but what would you expect when I posted it 3 days after chapter 8? Here it is:
Chapter 9: Through the Mind of a Hero
She was dead. I always hated that word…the sound of it, the way it was said. Dead.
There I was in the desert, holding Legend—who was now just that, dead. It flashed through my mind all over again. Her screams of pain; the look on her face when he plunged the staff through her; how happy she seemed when she knew she killed him, yet she also knew that she was dying. And I didn't-couldn't do anything to help her.
If only I had gotten out of the fire barrier sooner and asked the Sages to break the one surrounding Legend and Caativo. If only I had remembered to give Legend her antidote sooner. If only I had been able to stop her from getting poisoned from the start. If only… that's all I can seem to think—if only. Because I knew-I knew that I could have done something, but I didn't.
I hadn't done anything to prevent it from happening. Instead I was being an idiot, wondering when I was going to get out of that fire, rather then hoping Legend was all right. I wasn't even there to give her a potion or a fairy; even when I have her the antidote, I got destroyed before she could get to it.
What good was I?
As I sat through another sandstorm in the desert, cradling the now dead Legend in my arms, one thought raced across my mind over and over—"Why couldn't I help?"
That's it. I told you it was short! I was thinking of adding a song in there but I couldn't think of one to fit with it…yep…these are Link's thoughts after it happened. It's kind of hard to get into the mind of someone like him ya know? I mean, he's killed a lot and he's seen people die. But I guess this is kinda different. Anyway review please!! No flames!! I'll try to get chapter 10 out soon! I'm in a bit of a writer's block. I know what's gonna happen, I just can't seem to write it down.
