Chapter 5: Love and Friendship
Rasheed held onto her, Misty laid her head on his shoulder.
"Been a while, we haven't done this in a long time huh," Rasheed said. Misty nods,
"It's a wonder why I still love you. You left me alone for over a year, I thought I wouldn't see you ever again," she whispered.
"I'm sorry for leaving you, I promise I wont leave you alone again," he said. After a few minutes, Misty fell asleep on his shoulder. She was still worn out from what had happened. Rasheed looked at her and started to think.
"Maybe I should ask her, when she wakes up that is," he said. He took out a ring from his robe and held it in his hand.
"But maybe I should wait a while, then ask her," he said. Misty's sword of light then spoke quietly to him,
'You know you can always ask her when she wakes up,"
"Yeah but I don't know how I should ask her," he said.
"Don't worry, just say the words. She would say yes for she loves you," said her sword.
"I hope so..." he sighed. He put the ring back in his robe and looked at Misty. He stroked her long hair and kissed her on the fore head. He then held her until the fire died out. It was around mid night; Misty woke up with a started. She started to have visions and the mark on her neck was hurting badly. She rubbed it a bit, but then realized where she was. Rasheed was asleep. She slowly got out of his arms and went to put on her cloths. The deep scratch on her back didn't hurt as much anymore, but it still stung. She grabbed her harp and rod and went out side for fresh air. She went over to the small river and washed her face. She then took a sip of water.
"I see you are feeling better," Rasheed said from behind. Misty got up and turned around. She looked at him and smiled,
"Y-yeah," she said. The mark on her neck was still hurting a bit but it wasn't that bad.
"Must be from when I had that dream. It must be telling me something," she said in her mind.
"Is there something wrong?" Rasheed asked. Misty shook her head,
"No, I'm fine," she said. Rasheed then walked up in front of her. He grabbed her hand and placed a ring on her finger. She looked at it for a moment.
"Misty...We have known each other for years. And you know how much I love and I...will you marry me?" he asked. He was blushing a bit. Misty was a bit shocked but then smiled. She kissed him and whispered,
"Yes...Yes I will marry you," Rasheed smiled and picked her up. He laughed with joy and so did she. He spun her around a bit and kissed her.
"After we find Saya, we will go to the Temple of Time, there we will be wed," he said.
"Yes...But aside from finding Saya, we also need to go to the last shrine to get the last artifact," she said.
"Right, then we will have the wedding," he said. He put her down and hugged her. Misty looked up at the sky,
"So, should we head out when the sun rises?" Misty asked.
"What's the hurry? I'm sure Saya will be fine. And the shrine isn't going anywhere," he said with a grin.
"So what are you saying?" she asked.
"Lets have a little fun while we wait for the sun to rise," he said. He grabbed her hand and began to run.
"Wait, where are you taking me?" she asked.
"You'll see," he said with a laughed. He then lead her to an open area where then was a cliff that was fairly high. He brought her to the edge.
"Ready to jump?" he asked.
"Jump? Wait what?"
"Here I'll jump with you," he said. He picked her up in his arms and jumped. He hooted with joy.
"WHOA!" she cried. It only took a few seconds for them to land. Both of them landed to the ground without any scratches or bruises. Both rolled to the ground.
"Man...that was awesome!" she said.
"Now you got her fired up," said her sword. Rasheed laughed and rolled over, placing Misty on his chest. He hugged her,
"I'm glad you liked that," he said. He then kissed her, but it was no ordinary kiss. It sort of startled her because she has never been kissed like that before in her life. Rasheed pulled back and looked at her. Misty was a bit dazed.
"Whoa...that was new," she said. Rasheed laughed. He got up and helped her up.
"So what do you say, we go and look for Saya," he said.
"Yeah, sure," she said. Both of them started to walk down the valley. Misty walked in front of Rasheed. They were silent for a while, but in her mind she was very happy. Rasheed looked to the side but couldn't help but look at her. He smiled and sighed; he walked up next to her and put his arm around her. They walked down the long valley till Misty stopped and glared off in the distance.
"What's wrong?" Rasheed asked. Misty then ran off into the shadows.
"Misty wait!" cried Rasheed. But she was already gone. Misty ran faster and faster, till she was out of the valley and in some strange open area. Some how she had gotten out of the mountain trail. She jumped tree to tree until she found herself in the graveyard. She saw a figure jump in the royal family's grave. She followed after the figure, she jumped in the grave and was in a cave. Meanwhile Rasheed was racing off with god like speed,
"MISTY!" he shouts. He follows her energy and runs faster and faster. Misty ran down the tunnel following the man. Faster and faster she went, she finally reached him. She was in a lit room like cave. There was a shrine at the end, and a man standing before it. He laughed; he had brown hair that covered his green eyes, and a black cloak.
"What the hell are you doing here," she said.
"Should ask you the same thing. Can't a guy go around and steal in peace?" he asked.
"Sorry, but I wont let you steal anything," she said.
"Well, sorry doll face, but I wont let that happen. Those are nice little items you have there. Maybe I should take them off your hands and sell them off the black market," he said.
"Not going to happen," she said. She drew her wrist blades and got in a fighting position. The man grinned and ran behind her. She was shocked, because she never met anyone with that kind of speed aside from Rasheed. He lunged for her harp and rod but she quickly turned and strikes him. He fell back and covered his wound. Misty took a step forward but stopped. She looked at the mark on his chest,
"You're...But how? You're the god of Fire?" she said. He laughed and got up,
"Yeah, but too bad you're not going to live long enough," he said.
"Misty!" shouted Rasheed. He was standing by the entrance to the shrine. He was breathing hard and he glared at the man.
'Trying to hurt my girl eh? Well you messed with the wrong person," he said.
"Well well, a man came to help out his maiden. How touching," the man said. Misty grew annoyed. She lunged at him from behind, but he sensed her. He fired a powerful fire blast at her. Causing her to fall to the ground. She didn't move. He then moved closer to her and got ready to finish her off for good. Rasheed ran as fast as he could.
"Misty!" he cried out again. The man fired the fire blast that was so powerful that it could destroy the earth. Rasheed blocked it, but ended up with a hole in his heart. He fell to his knees and lay there. The man grinned,
"There's no point messing with them anymore. Time for me to go to the market and get some real time for me," he said and walked off. He didn't bother to take Misty's harp or rod at all. Rasheed crawled over to her. Leaving a large trail of blood. He placed his hand on her head and forced all his energy to heal her. The wounds on her disappeared. Rasheed then fell on top of her. Few seconds later Misty woke up and sat up. She gasped and rolled Rasheed over so he was facing up.
"Rasheed?" she said. She shook him a bit. He cracked open his eyes a bit and smiled.
"Hey...I couldn't let you die like that...so I used the last of my life force energy to keep you alive," he said. He was breathing harder between every word. Tears rolled down her cheeks. He slowly wiped the tears away,
"Please, don't cry...I will die, but will reincarnate into a new person. Though he may look different, he will have all my memories," he said.
"No.... I don't want you to leave me," she said.
"Don't worry...Once I come back to life as a new person, I will find you...until then, the only way to tell is if you get him to show you the triforce...the symbol of Din," and with those last words, he died. His body faded away and she was left with nothing. Misty got up and wiped the tears away. She then walked slowly out of the royal tomb, but looked back at the shrine of where he died. She started to walk away until she saw a glowing light. She ran to the shrine and looked at the pedestal. A bright light circle around her, and before she knew it; she was on the field. She fell to the ground as soon as she was dropped there. She slowly got up and walked off into a random direction.
"Oh master..." sighed her sword. Misty walked towards Lake Hylia. Meanwhile, a mysterious figure was seen in the forest. Running with god like speed.
"I'm coming for you Misty," he said "I'm coming," Misty jumped over the gate and walked down the path. A huge lake with a small island in the middle came to view. There were only two houses here; the fishing game and the lab. She slowly walked up to the edge and sat down. Her feet in the water and she cried. The man ran onto the field, he could feel her crying. So he ran to Lake Hylia, to where he had sensed her.
"Master, what are you doing?" asked her sword. Misty got up and started to walk in the water. She was about waist deep in the water. She just stood there gazing off into the horizon. The man appeared at the edge of the lake. He had long blond hair and his eyes were as green as the sea. He had a red robe and black jeans.
"Misty!" he shouts to her. She slowly turned around and looked at him. He started to walk in the water. He too was in waist deep. He was in front of her; he then embraced her. She froze; she felt both a warm and happy feeling.
"R-Rasheed?"
"Yes, it is I, Rasheed,"
"But...how did you come back to life, so quickly?"
"Master, shouldn't you ask about the triforce. See if he has it," said her sword. Rasheed let go of her and a triforce appeared on his hand.
"It is you," she said. A teardrop fell. And a smile formed on her face. She through her arms around him, causing both of them to fall in the water. Few moments later, both of them rose out of the water and walked to the shore. They were soaked, but they didn't care. They were laughing; Misty sat down and dried herself off. Rasheed sat next to her and put his arm around her. She ran her fingers threw her hair, straightening it.
"So what now?" Misty asked.
"I don't know, you want to head to the next shrine?" he asked.
"Sure," she said. They both got up and started to walk, until a familiar voice rang through.
"You two aren't going to the shrine without me are you?"
"Hey I know that voice," Misty said. Saya jumped form the tree branch and landed in front of them.
"Hey...Nice new look Rasheed," she said.
"So what took you so long," said Rasheed with a grin.
"Traffic was bad going down the base of the mountain," she said.
"Its good to see you're alive," Misty said. In the distance, a mysterious figure was seen hidden in the shadows.
"The fools think that I am dead. Well think again, I will live forever...never fear my dear sister, I Mikagami shall make sure no one will hurt you," he said. Behind him was the same man who had jumped her and killed Rasheed. Even though he is dead, I shall tell you his name. And forever will he been in your hearts...his name is Nick, a bandit who lives to kill and steal. But he is gone now due to Mikagami killing him. He knew what had happened to Misty, but does she know he is still alive?
Rasheed held onto her, Misty laid her head on his shoulder.
"Been a while, we haven't done this in a long time huh," Rasheed said. Misty nods,
"It's a wonder why I still love you. You left me alone for over a year, I thought I wouldn't see you ever again," she whispered.
