Chapter 7: A gift from the heart
It was nearly evening when the two weary warriors reached the second tree house that was near the Hyrule Sea. The gorgeous crystal blue water lapped onto the soft, sugary fine sand making distinct patterns only made by Mother Nature. This tree house was very similar to the previous house back in the forest except there was a rap-a-round porch on it. It was set in between two large trees with leaves as large as your head. There were scattered yellow flowers were in the trees which set a romantic glow to the scenery.
The youths both dismounted and went their separate ways; Link to the waterside of the lake and Liea up to the tree house to scout about. Link found a small boulder in the sand and sat down and began to carve something out the piece of wood again. He carefully chipped off pieces of wood and started to take shape of someone special in his life.
Liea sat down at the small table in the house while admiring all the seashells and bottles of sand set around. She felt much worn out but was determined to stay awake; there was still some day light out. Liea walked onto the porch and leaned against the railing gazing out at the picturesque sunset. She then decided to climb down the ladder and began to head for Link. Approaching him, Liea sat down and sighed placing her elbows on her knees and rested her head.
"Isn't the sunset beautiful, Link?" Liea asked staring at the sky.
"Yes it is, but not as beautiful as you." Link responded looking at Liea caringly.
"Huh?" Liea looked up at Link and found that he was looking at her also.
Link and Liea's eyes met and they began to stare deeply into each other's eyes. They began to lean towards each other to kiss. As their lips almost met Liea pulled away quickly feeling insecure of herself; even though she had feelings for Link as he did for her. Liea sat there scared thinking of what might of happened if she actually did kiss Link. Link saw her and set his carving to the side. He moved over closer to Liea and put his comforting arm around her shoulders. Liea wanted to move away from him, but she was afraid of what Link might say.
"It's ok, there's no need to be afraid, Liea." Link said in a low soothing voice.
"What do you mean?" She responded.
"I can tell that you're afraid of something, but I'm going to respect you and not ask you why. If you want to tell me then that's just a different story. But I just want you to know that I'm always here for you."
"Thank you, Link. That makes me feel a lot better. You're so caring."
"You're welcome. I'm glad I could help a friend."
Liea moved closer to Link as she possibly could and set her head on his shoulder knowing she could trust him now. Seeing as though they could trust each other, Link and Liea started a nice subtle conversation. They talked about different things like what each other likes, dislikes and stargazed at the magnificent clear starlit night that the sky became. After hours and hours of talking Link and Liea became tired and headed for the tree house to go inside. When they arrived, Link pulled out a necklace with a tiny seashell strung on it out of his pocket and walked over to Liea to give it to her. "Liea, I made this for you. I found this beautiful seashell in the sand and thought of you; so delicate and precious." Link said holding the delicate object in his hand.
"Oh my, it's so beautiful! You shouldn't of, I don't deserve it Link." Liea said trying to convince Link not to give it to her.
"Don't say that, yes you do deserve it. You're very special to me now, and it's not because of the powers you have. It's because of who you are! I'm sure there's someone back home where you came from that cares for you very much." Said Link while walking behind Liea and moving her hair to put the necklace on her.
Liea turned around and looked up at Link after he put it on. "Right, who would want to care about me?"
Link put his hands on Liea's shoulders and looked sympathetically into her eyes. "Liea, I know someone who cares a lot about you and likes you very much too." Link smiled.
Liea knew whom Link was talking about and hugged him. "Thank you so much. We better go to bed now." She smiled. Liea never felt this special before.
"Yes, I agree. I have a feeling tomorrow's going to be a very hectic day. Goodnight."
Link went around the house blowing out all the candles again. He grabbed some blankets and then went to bed on the mattress that he pulled out earlier. Liea looked at Link lying on the mattress on the floor and started to think. She looked at Link's relaxing face and grew amazed. His face grew more handsome in the soft moonlight. Liea shook her head to bring her back to reality. 'Do I really like him?' Liea thought to herself. 'Nah. It couldn't be.' She thought again.
Liea then grew tired and fell asleep dreaming of what's to come in the future for her and Link.
