Sounds of the oceans waves could be heard, the wind breezing along the seaside, and the warm sun burning through the sky. Link slowly opened his eyes, he was alive. He attempted moving, but his body disagreed, he just lied there and closed his eyes again, listening to the sounds of the seaside. His ears then picked up distance voices.
"I don't think he's alive though." He heard a distance female voice. He could then feel them coming towards him, he wanted to run, but his body wouldn't budge.
"Hmmmm." He heard a deep male voice. "He doesn't even look like one of us, he must be from somewhere over the ocean."
"Over the ocean??" The female voice repeated, "Wow....never been over the ocean before."
"No one from this island has, we've always remained here."
Link then felt a pair of hands flip him over onto his back, and move him away from the wet ocean onto the dry sand.
"Hmmmm...." He heard the male voice again.
Link managed to groan, and open his eyes again a little, the pair of hands releasing him and he felt the male jump away from him.
"Holy cow! I thought you said he was dead!" He screeched.
"I said I don't think he's alive!" The female voice snapped. "He's just a boy, I don't think he's going to hurt you."
Link then felt the pair of hands around him and felt himself being carried off somewhere.
"We better take him home, I wouldn't want to see someone this young die." That was the final thing he remembered.
Later on Link woke up and found himself in a small hammock inside a hut, he was wrapped in a large cotton blanket. Link felt like he had been asleep for quite a while and he felt a lot better, he finally had the strength to move again.
"Oh, you're awake." He heard the female voice again from behind him.
He turned his head around and saw a young girl about his age starring back.
"Sorry I startled you." She apologized.
Link rubbed his eyes, "No, you didn't startle me no need to apologize."
"Ohh...You speak the same language as us, that's a relief"
"Yeah." Link yawned.
"My parents have gone out for a while, wanna come for a walk with me?" She asked.
"Sure."
The girl took Link out again to the seaside, they both had a lot of questions for each other.
"I'm sorry, I didn't get your name before?" The girl asked.
"Oh...." Link said. "It's Link, yours?"
"Mines Kira, nice to meet you."
"Likewise, so where am I exactly?" He questioned.
"Kohlient Island, It's only a small island, no one else from another land has ever visited before, you're the first." she explained. "What land did you come from?"
"Hyrule, it's beautiful, under a lot of battle at the moment though, my father and I tried to get to Termina."
"Your Father? Where is he now?"
Link sighed and fought back tears. "The Hylain army killed him before we could even get there, I dived into the ocean and ended up here."
"What about your mother?"
"She died before I even got to know her."
"Grandparents?"
Link shook his head.
"Uncles, aunties?"
Link just sighed "I'm pretty sure I'm the only one left."
Kira felt her pity for Link, she had her whole family still, they all lived together, she had never experienced losing a loved one.
"I'm really sorry Link, it must be terrible."
Link felt his throat tightening up, he swallowed hard.
"I thought once I dived into that sea I wouldn't survive anyway."
"It's okay Link, you can stay here, once my family become good friends with people, they basically adopt them as family, I'm sure they'll accept you. Besides, they could never stand the sight of a child on their own."
"Thanks Kira." He smiled
"Anytime! My parents are due back anytime, let's go home, they'll be dying to get to talk to you."
Kira leaded Link back to his new home, Link studied his new home island, it was as beautiful as Hyrule. It was a small tropical Island, the people who lived here stayed with their families, everyone got on well, no war, no worries. He noticed that these people were very different to him. They had tanned skin where his was pale, they're speech was also much different. Although they spoke the same language they had a different sound to their speech. At that moment Link thought it was very strange, however he knew he would get use to it.
Kira and Link arrived back to the area that Kira lived in with her family. There were several huts around, obviously they all stayed in their own hut during the night.
"Kira!" A woman screeched out to her. "Where did you go with that stranger?!"
Kira laughed. "Relax mother, this is Link, he's from a land called Hyrule."
Link gave out a small wave, he was pretty nervous meeting all these new people in the one day.
"Hyrule? Where is that?" Her mother asked.
"Somewhere over the seas mum, he and his father were trying to go to a land called....Termi....something or other and his father was killed and Link washed up here."
Kira's mother glanced over at Link. "You're father died?"
Link nodded.
Kira's mother than glanced over at an adult male.
"I thought you said he was dead?"
Kira sighed "Mother, Link's been through a lot, he doesn't have a family left."
"You don't have a family?" Kira's mother asked.
Link shook his head. "No, my father and I were the last two left, now it's just me."
"I'm really sorry to hear that boy, forgive me, I've never met someone from outside this island before."
"I understand."
"You can stay here, I'm sure you'll grow to like it here."
Link smiled, he was finally safe, however, he wished his father were by his side.
Over the next few weeks Link became more familiar with the island, he got to meet Kira's group of friends, which he quickly became a member of himself. The group had 4 members, Kira, Tyler, Lina and Link. The four would often hang out at their favourite hang out place, the creek that ran through the island. Tyler would often bring down his father's fishing rod, of course he would bring it without his father's permission.
"Have you gotten caught for taking that rod yet?" Kira asked.
Tyler threw the line into the creek. "Nope, not yet."
"I'm counting the days down until he does." Link said.
Lina and Kira giggled, as Tyler glanced over at Link.
"Hahaha, very funny Link." Tyler sacastically replied
Link chuckled, "Hey seeing Tyler has taken up something, perhaps I should take up something."
"Oh yea, like what?" Lina asked.
"Well.....my father was a great swordsman! Perhaps I could take up fencing or something."
"Really? Hey that's not a bad idea, my Grandfather use to do quite a bit of fencing actually perhaps he could teach you." Kira suggested.
"Hmmmm..." Link thought out loud. "Perhaps I should someday."
"Heheheh." Tyler giggled. "Link with a sword, now that's a sight."
"Hahahah, Tyler with a fishing rod, how funny." Link mocked.
6 Years passed and Link had hit the age of 12. Just has Kira said would happen, her family adopted Link as their own family member in less than a week. The four friends would still hang out together everyday, and Link did end up taking his fencing lessons.
Kira's grandfather was surprised to find Link was so good at the activity.
"Well done Link, you're a born pro at this sport." He said proudly.
"Thanks sir!" Link thanked back cheerfully, his young boy-like voice was becoming more and more of a deep man's voice everyday.
"Perhaps you should try another weapon." Kira's Grandfather suggested.
"You have MORE weapons??!" Link raised an eyebrow.
Kira's Grandfather laughed. "Of course, you don't just learn to use the one weapon. You need to learn plenty more if you want to become a true warrior. You up for it?"
"Sure!!"
