Whew, finally finished this chapter!! Writer's block is a real pain in the
aize sometimes. Well, anyway, I apologize in advance for the shortness,
but it's a really good cliffhanger at the end ^-^ okay, read on McDuff!
Oh, by the way, if anyone has the Avril Lavigne cd, listen closely to words
of number 4, cuz I think that's a really good one to describe Evalyn.and
coming to Hyrule.and stuffs.well anyway if you actually cared enough about
this fic to go and listen carefully to it, I'd be amazed. So just read
this and review!
Disclaimer: Evalyn may be all of my own design, but ::sigh:: nothing else is. Oh, and the plot's mine too.I think.
Chapter 17
Anju and Kafei decided to stay at the local inn, since it was getting crowded at the tiny old woman's house. Link, Malon, and I spent the days talking about our various histories. Link told me about his adventures as the Hero of Time, which left me in awe of him. After all, he wasn't any older then me. I decided that even if I was considered a hero, I could never be as good as he was. Malon entertained us with stories on the ranch. Then came my turn. I was more then a little uncomfortable talking about my past. It almost didn't seem real in this medieval land of Hyrule.
"So, did you have any friends?" Malon asked. I shrugged. "Yeah, a few. But no one really close. I mean, I thought they were, but.well.when my parents died, they.well, they proved they weren't as great friends as I thought." I felt a swell of anger, but quickly pushed it down. "Oh." Was all either of them could say. They didn't ask me any more questions, but I wasn't sure whether or not I was glad about it. The next day, Link took me around Kakariko to "Show me the sites". It was a beautiful rustic little town, with a few shops, inns, and even a windmill, although Link refused to take me inside, insisting I'd be better off for it. Near the end of our tour, we met up with an old blind beggar sitting on the side of the road. Link kindly dropped a few rupees into his iron cup, and was about to move on when he spoke. "Thank you kindly, sir, but I have one more favor to ask." Link paused. "Um.I can't promise anything, but I'll try." The beggar smiled. "As you can tell, I long ago gave up my sight to the Goddesses, but I still find pleasure in having the world described to me. Please, can you describe yourself and your young female companion?" I shivered. I hadn't said a word since we saw the man. The blind, although deprived of sight, had almost super human power in their other four senses. "Well, um.I'm not that good at describing myself." Link stuttered, turning a little pink. The man turned his sightless eyes towards me. "Please, miss, could you describe him for me?" I shrugged. "Okay." I noticed Link getting decidedly pinker, and grinned evilly. "Well, let's see. He's blonde, almost the color of gold, with eyes bluer then the calm ocean. My, he's turning an unnatural shade of red, I hope he's not ill. Um, he's tall, a little taller then me, but I guess that's not much of a help." The beggar nodded eagerly, while Link's blush steadily deepened. "Good, good, now, describe what he's wearing." I briefly hoped that there wasn't any devious underplot for wanting to know all this, and went on. "Well, he's wearing a green tunic, boots, and a weird hat thingy." "What's wrong with my hat?" Link exclaimed. I stifled a bout of laughter, and turned to the man. "Is that a worthy description, sir?" I asked. The man nodded, satisfied. "Now, young man, could you describe your lady friend?" My smile disappeared. It was Link's turn for an evil grin. "Of course, anything to help. Well, she's got brown hair, the color of melted chocolate. Her big eyes are brown too, only a little darker. Like she said, she's a little shorter then me. She's wearing a blue tunic, and white riding pants, and a pair of regular shoes. She's got long hair which is down right now, and no hat thingy." The beggar, a happy look on his ancient face, leaned back from his eager position. "Many thanks, young masters. You've made an old man happy." Link and I quickly returned after that, making fun of the descriptions the whole way. It was two days after the episode with the blind man before the doctor said Malon was well enough for travel. I welcomed the prospect of leaving again. I was getting cabin fever just hanging around that little cabin. The day the five of us was overcast, and the scent of rain was heavy in the air. I wrapped my borrowed cloak tightly around myself, shivering. Despite the warm weather we had recently been having, it was almost unnaturally cold today, almost as if something was about to happen. We were in Hyrule Field, about halfway to the borders of Hyrule according to Link, when a shimmering in the air spooked Anju's horse. She hung on as the horse reared, but just barely. The shimmer condensed until it formed the shape of an enormous man, almost bald and with a white beard, wearing long robes. He bowed to each of us in turn, the turned to Link. "I am sorry if I have startled you, but this was necessary. Things have gotten way out of hand-Zelda isn't sure what happened, but Ganondorf already has a fortress and a dark army under his control. We need you to teleport immediately, even if it's risky." Link, after a moment having been taken aback, nodded. He turned to the rest of us. "This is Rauru, the Sage of Light. He can take us to where Zelda is hiding, but there's a slight risk with a group this big." He said. I stirred uneasily in my saddle, remembering my dream about Rauru. "What kind of risk?" Asked Malon. Rauru shrugged. "Anything from misplacing someone, to.well.being turned inside out." Everyone present winced. "In any case, you need to be taken to Zelda immediately. The other sages will be there, too." He said. Everyone nodded, and he performed some sort of incantation combined with a great deal of arm waving. I had the same feeling as when Link transported us via ocarina into the Temple of Time, except this time I felt.different. Like, something was pulling at me, strange clammy arms. When my feet finally slammed in the ground, it was so hard my vision wavered for a moment, and everything went dark. It took me a moment to realize that the real reason behind this was because Rauru had slammed a piece of wood into the back of my head just as I landed. My last thought before I passed out was: "I hope I'm not inside out."
Okay, I have a poll here, not because I'm necessarily going to do anything with this, but I'm honestly curious.
How many of you want to see Evalyn and Link hook up?
YESSS THEY WERE SO MEANT FOR EACH OTHER IT WAS FREAKING DESTINY FOR CRYING OUT LOUD They'd be a cute couple! Eh.whatever. No! Too typical. Hell no! I'm a shoopy Zelinker and think Link should marry his sister! (ummm ignore this one I'm venting again lol)] Actually, I think that Malon and Link were ALREADY an item. Please let me know what you think! And really, I'm just curious, your answers will possibly have no effect whatsoever on the plot.
Please r+r!!!
