Chapter Two: Laver
In the years after Ganondorf had been defeated, new villages sprung up all over Hyrule. One of these villages was located on the northern shore of Lake Hylia. It was called Laver named for its founder, Gefred Laver. Laver was a prosperous village due to trading with the Zoras. On the outskirts of the village there was a small house. It was built of wood and clay like so many of the houses beside it. The difference was that there was a stable out back for horses. Because Laver was a lakeshore town this was unusual. There wasn't a lot of land for horses so it was odd that there would be a stable on the back of the house. The reason it was there was because it was the first house built besides the scientist's laboratory in the area. The family that lived there currently had founded the town.
"Mother, I'm seventeen! I think I can go out to Hyrule Field by myself. I know how to use a bow and arrows and a sword very well. I'm not going to get hurt," a voice shouted inside. The owner of the voice was a young woman with wavy blond hair that reached the middle of her back. Her green eyes snapped with fury at her mother's protectiveness. She was taller than both her parents and far skinner than both of them as well.
A plump woman with jet-black hair turned to face her daughter. Her pudgy hands were wiping themselves off with the dirty apron she always wore. Black eyes patiently watched the young woman before her while she set the pie she had been baking to cool on the windowsill.
"I know how old you are Lily and I don't need to be reminded of it. It just tells me how old I am," Lily's mother scolded her. "This has nothing to do with you not being old enough to go by yourself. Clayren needs to be watched this afternoon when you're father and I go out. So you are going to take her along." Her tone suggested that that was the end of the argument but Lily never knew when to give it up. She always complained that it was a matter of honor.
"Clayren is sixteen. She doesn't need to be watched. Besides she hates leaving town. All she ever does is flirt with the men," Lily complained crossing her arms over her chest in an act of defiance. Her mother glared at her.
"Then don't go today. It's as simple as that." Again her tone said that was as far as the conversation would go but Lily just ignored it.
"Ebony's been locked up for days. She needs to get out. You and I both know that. Why can't you just accept the fact that you don't want me to go out alone! Stop being so protective. I can take care of myself!" Lily's voice started to rise with her anger.
Again her mother glared but this time it wasn't as mean. Lily had been making the same argument for the past year and it was starting to wear her mother down. She could no longer use the excuse that Clayren needed a babysitter because Clayren was gone trying to court some of the men in the village half the time anyway. Sighing, her mother finally threw her hands up in surrender.
"Alright you can go but don't stay out too late." Lily let out a whoop and dashed upstairs. She strapped her sword and quiver to her back. Pulling her hair back into a low ponytail she rushed out of her room and down the stairs almost crashing into her father.
"Whoa! Keep running like that and you're liable to trample someone to death. Namely me," soft brown eyes twinkled back at her. The husky man before her grabbed her around the middle and pulled her into an enormous bear hug. Her adoptive father loved bear hugs mainly because he was so good at giving them. Lily liked them but Clayren hated them. It was no wonder that Lily was adopted. She and her family were nothing alike. Her parents had found her one-day off the shore of Lake Hylia. They decided to keep her when no one claimed her after a few months.
"Sorry father," Lily panted when she had regained her breath. Lily pushed past her father and ran out the door to the stables. In one of the stalls stood a beautiful black mare. Lily had named her Ebony because of her coloring.
"Hey Ebony," she crooned. " We're going out to Hyrule Field today and no Clayren this time." Ebony seemed to understand Lily and neighed her enjoyment. The horse hated the short sister of her rider. She always complained when they went out but today there would be no complaining. It would be just her and Lily.
Lily quickly saddled Ebony and took her out of the stall. She swung into the saddle and the pair set off at a quick walk. They would have to pas through the town to get to the field and Lily didn't want to run anyone over if she put Ebony at a trot. Upon entering the village Lily spotted her sister flirting with her latest crush.
The sixteen year olds dark brown hair was cut off in the latest fashion just below her shoulders. Her dress was a baby blue that bulged at the seams. Clayren was none too thin taking on both her mother's pudginess and her father's huskiness. Although she was defiantly not the prettiest girl in town men lined up trying to get her attention because she was fairly rich. The stable grounds out back were large enough for any man to want to be her husband. Lily always had men wanting to date her too but most went for Clayren because Lily turned all of them down.
"Well, well, if it isn't the ugly duckling," Clayren cooed to her older sister. "I see that you want to take that dumb horse out for a walk. Well I'm not going!" She turned her back to Lily and almost fell over in her haste. Lily quickly stifled a laugh but let the smug grin stay on her face.
"It's okay, Clayren. You don't have to go this time. Mother is finally letting me go on my own," she replied smugly. Lily had power over her sister now. Their parents never let them do anything on their own. At the remark Clayren spun around her mouth open.
"You mean, I can stay in town by myself?"
"No, mother wants you back home before they leave. She still doesn't trust you," Lily's grin became a wicked smile. She loved watching her sister's temper tantrums.
"But that's not fair! You did this to me, you stupid bitch!" Clayren screamed. Lily started to chuckle. This was better than she thought it would be.
"Blame me all you like but I've got to get going," Lily said calmly. She clucked to Ebony and the two set off. On the way out of the village Lily heard her name being called. She instantly recognized the voice and let out a frustrated sigh.
"Lily! Wait for me!" the voice shouted. A young man came running up waving his hands in the air. One of them held a bouquet of roses. Lily stopped Ebony and swung her around to face the man. He stopped in front of her panting before he straightened up and slicked back his red hair.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" the man said trying to act cool.
"Kiret, stop trying to court me and get a life! I don't want to marry you, I never have and never will so stop following me and leave me alone! If you decide to keep pestering me I'll cut out you're tongue and send it to your mother," Lily leaned down to shout in Kiret's ear.
"Aww, come on. You know you want to date me. I'm the most popular guy in town. No self-respecting girl can resist my charm." His cheesy smile made Lily want to hurl.
"They're not self-respecting. They're bimbos. I'm sure you and one of them will make a great couple someday. The ugliest, stupidest morons in the town! Now leave me alone," Lily yelled again. She pulled herself straight in the saddle again, turned her around, and kicked Ebony into a full gallop. She didn't care about being safe anymore. Kiret had ruined her good mood and she wanted to get out of town now. Once she had leapt the gate that blocked the entrance to Lake Hylia she let herself become one with Ebony. They galloped around like two carefree children in the large field. This was what Lily loved to do. To just come out here and be free.

Bad cutoff I know but I got a writers block. Oh well, if I feel like changing it later I'll come back and redo it but it's doubtful I'll even remember it's there. Anyways did you understand it? Does it make sense? Come on people don't leave me in the dark. (It scares me)
