don't like that kinda stuff.don't read it.
An Untold Lie
Link's life has been for the most part...mysterious. The blond boy has never met his parents, and with the stories he has heard about how he got into living in the forest...he doesn't even believe them to be alive.
But, even so, with all the friends he has made, he still feels uncomfortable.
"Saria," Link spoke up from the long silence as they sat there in the tall grass. She looked up at him. Her blue eyes practically glowing at him, "I've decided that I'm going to be leaving soon...possibly tonight."
The glow on her face changed to a sympathized smile. She sighed, "I knew it would happen one day. Especially with you growing, I bet you felt misplaced here in Kokiri, huh?"
Link didn't answer. The 12-year-old boy was turning into a young man, while the rest of the forest children stayed just as young and child-like as the day they entered into this world.
"I understand perfectly, Link." She stood up and with that same smile plastered onto her lips, "You must go and find out whom you really are and if I were you, I'd do the same thing. I wouldn't want to live a lie for the rest of eternity...or in your case...until I die. But, before you leave...come see me once more." And before Link had a chance to respond...she disappeared.
That night, Link stood at the door of his small hut and with a small bag tied around his belt, he left to the Temple that they went to nearly every day and played. He was more than positive Saria would be there, playing that wind instrument she always carried around with her.
His short journey to the Temple didn't take long, and sure enough, there was Saria just like he though she's be. Sitting there with the ocarina to her lips, playing the same song she always did.
"Saria..." the Elvin boy sighed, just loud enough to where he was the only one who could hear. But, somehow, whether she heard or not, she knew he was there without even bothering to open her eyes.
"Good evening, Link. I'm glad you came to see me one last time." She put the ocarina aside.
"Saria, it's not like I'm not going to come back to see you. I'll come and visit you." Link smiled.
The green haired girl's eyes slowly opened, "You may come to visit...but I won't be here."
"What? Why not?''
"I'm very sorry, but I can't tell you...not even why I can't tell you." Her head lowered, "Please forgive me. And don't be sad when you won't be able to see me again."
"Why did you ask me to come now when you could of told me this earlier today?'' Link asked. His friend was starting to become just as strange as his life was.
Ever since two years ago, strange things have been happening to him...strangely familiar dreams, some sort of telepathy, and a type telekinesis has been brewing inside of him, screaming in his blood.
"Saria, I know there is something strange that's going on...I don't belong here, you know that just as much as anyone else. And these dreams seem so familiar to me it's not even child's play anymore. It's sort of...scary now. And these...powers...
"Am I just some freak of nature that was thrown away by his parents because he was just too disgusting to even look at?'' Link's eyes nearly began to tear up, but he held them back. Crying in front of his life-long friend would be embarrassing, "What's this all about? I know that you know. You're here to protect me from the truth, aren't you?''
Saria didn't answer. She was taken aback by her friend's discovery.
"That's another thing about dreams of the so called past and future...they can practically read a person's soul and mind like a book...
"It was Princess Zelda that told you to lie to me...huh?'' Saria was once again speechless. "I'm right, aren't I? Who is this Zelda girl and why did she want me to live...some lie? Why, Saria? You know what...I don't care. I'm going to find someone who will tell me the truth, and I know very well that this Zelda girl won't tell me anything NEAR the truth."
Saria slowly spoke up, "There is...one person who you can talk to...someone who won't get in trouble like we will."
She looked up at him, "His name is Sheik and, unfortunately, he's not an easy character to find...12-year-old or not. He doesn't know anything about what happened, but...I'm more than positive that your full memory of the once before future...will return."
"So...is this really good bye then?" whether or not Link was still mad, he didn't want to leave his friend...but he reasoned with himself that it was for the best because he couldn't live a lie.
"Yes, I'm afraid so, but before you go...I want to send you to go meet someone who could possibly help you find Sheik. Her name is Impa, the Sage of Shadows. I can send her to meet you at Kakariko Village, a small town at the bottom of Death Mountain."
Link gave her an uneasy look, "Uh, catchy name...'Death Mountain'."
She smiled, "You'll find it better than you hear of it." She sighed, "Once you leave Kokiri, you'll enter Hyrule field. From there you should head northeast where you'll find Kakariko Village which is right next to the entrance of Hyrule Market Town."
There was a long silence between the two before Link finally spoke up, "I guess I should get going then before it gets dark, shouldn't I?"
The green haired girl merely nodded, "Good-bye, Link." She smiled lightly, "I'll be watching over you, that's a promise."
He laughed lightly, "Keep an eye on me to make sure I don't get into trouble, huh?"
"From past experiences, I'd say you need all the eyes to watch over you, you can get."
"Good bye, Saria." And with a small hug, he left.
An Untold Lie
Chapter 2
His new adventure wouldn't be easy...but how long could it take?
He entered Kakariko with a light heart. This would be too easy. Find this woman Impa and this guy...and off he goes merrily with his memory.
"I can't believe it's really you, lad." Link turned around towards where the voice was coming from and found a tall woman with red eyes and silver hair, "Do you perhaps remember who I am?" the blonde forest boy shook his head.
"I didn't think you would. My name is Impa." She smiled, "Goddesses... I remember you like it was yesterday...saving Hyrule from the King of Evil." She sighed, "I knew you'd still remember bits and pieces of you 'past'. Your spirit and mind are too strong for our spell. But the Princess insisted that we have you forget."
"You are the one Saria told me to find..."
"And help you look for my son, Sheik." She nodded, "The young Forest Sage told me all about it on your way here. For a 12-year-old, you have a lot on your shoulders...finding my son won't be as easy as it sounds."
Link gave her a strange look. How hard can it be to find a simple guy around this place?
She smiled, "Come now. I can explain everything inside."
"Why...have I forgotten everything?" Link sat at the small table in Impa's kitchen.
She sighed, "That would be our fault, lad. Princess Zelda said that you should forget everything that had happened so that you could live a normal life...but I knew that wasn't the real reason."
"What was the real reason?" Link asked.
"That's something I have no business explaining. I'm sorry."
"No, that's alright... I was just hoping that I might understand why I don't have my memory, and only just...blotches." They sat there for a moment before the youth spoke up, "I have a question." Impa nodded, indicating that she was listening, "Who is Sheik?"
"My son..." She answered not really knowing what to say.
"I know that. You've said that enough times. But who was he to me? How is he going to give me my memory back?"
She thought for a moment. How was she going to explain this without getting herself in even bigger trouble with the princess?
"It sort of works like a signature smell. When you smell something that you use to all the time, it may bring back memories once forgotten." She looked at him uneasily, "Do you get what I'm saying?"
Link nodded, "Sort of, yes..." he looked up to Impa, "Yes, I understand."
"And with your mind and spirit getting stronger, the Princess's magic is getting weaker." She saw the look on Link's face, "Yes, it was her who cast the spell on you...she was naïve. And we let her do it. I do please ask for your forgiveness, for it was for the best at the time. I will do my best to help you in any way I can."
Link, after a moment, nodded, "I understand. I'm sure it was for the best."
Link yawned without really noticing it, but only how tired he was, "We'd better get you to be if you want to start looking for my son early tomorrow. From here, it's about a two day travel." She stood up and escorted him to a vacant room, but very messy, "Please, excuse my son's mess before he left for training. He's very good in Basic," she sighed as she watched Link curiously wander around the room, "but when it comes to organization...he's horrible."
Link looked around the messy room, "This is great." He turned to the tall Sheikah woman, "Will we be leaving tomorrow?"
She smiled and raised an eyebrow, "You will be leaving tomorrow...without me. I have to look out for this town and it's people. This is where I grew up and where I pledged to protect it. I can't protect it nearly a thousand miles away."
Link looked disappointed, "But what if I get lost? I need you to be there to guide me."
"I'm surprised you ever managed to live as the Hero of Time. He never complained about his possibility of getting lost."
Link immediately felt embarrassed, "I'm sorry..."
"For what? I wouldn't know where to go either if I didn't have directions." She smiled, "It may be a long way away, but it's not that hard to find. It's an oasis to the west of the Spirit Temple. You can't miss it."
She picked him up and sat him on the bed, "I'll give you better directions in the morning, but right now I think it's better that you get your rest. Alright?" Link nodded.
"Here where this to bed." Impa handed the young forest boy a cotton white shirt. "Give me your clothes when you're done changing."
She left him in the room to change. He pulled of his shoes and then his green forest uniform. He looked down at his new white tights that Saria made for him. They were a little big, but she said that he would grow into them.
He pulled them off and put on his large white tunic Impa lent him. He hopped out of the room and handed them to the Sheikah woman who stood outside the room waiting for him.
"What do you want them for?" He questioned.
"To wash them, dear boy. These clothes are filthy."
"What? They're perfectly fine just the way they are! They don't need to be cleaned."
"When was the last time they've been washed?"
Link paused for a moment, trying to think, and then shrugged, "I dunno."
"Exactly, and you're taking one tomorrow morning before you leave." She looked over to him as she walked into the kitchen.
"What? No way. I hate taking baths. I'm clean enough." He started to pout, "Besides, I'll just get dirty again."
"What is it with little boys and baths. It's not like it's going to kill you." She sighed, "Go to bed and I'll have you're clothes ready by morning. AFTER you take a bath."
"Awe...man. How unfair."
"Who ever said life was fair?"
Link closed the door behind him and stopped. He didn't recognize it before, but the room seemed strangely familiar...like he had been there before, "I don't understand, Nav..." He caught himself again. Saying someone's name as if they were right there with him. It was the sixth time this week and he blamed it once again on his past.
He wasn't tired nor was he much awake. He was curious to where he was and he was nosy.
Link opened a drawer to the table next to the bed and looked inside. Only a bunch of candy wrappers, and more trash.
He closed that drawer and opened the next, "Wow...drawings..."
The drawing was of an adult with blond hair and a green outfit. Link laughed, "It sort of looks like me." The figure had a large blue gripped sword and a Hylian shield. And a small light blue circle with wings hovered near the elf.
He though nothing of it and put it back into the drawer, closing it behind him. He yawned, "I have to get to bed soon."
He rolled his eyes. There he was talking to himself again as if someone was right there with him to answer his every sentence. But there was no one and Link felt strangely lonely.
