Disclaimer: HA! I love this, people are reviewing and I'm not running out
of ideas WOOHOO! Anyway I don't own this blah, blah, blah.
JUST A FAIRY
Whispers follow me through the halls. Whispers that guess my identity, and guesses of what I am doing here. Link keeps his eyes straight, ignoring the whisperers. I glance around nervously, the world looks so different from a humans eyes. I am still stumbling on my feet and every so often I mix up my feet and fall, but Link is always there to catch me.
Link leads me to a room and shuts the door behind him, I hear the excited whispers from servants as the door clicks shut. I take in everything with my eager human eyes: There is a book shelf in the corner, holding many leather bound books that fill the room with a musty smell, a small desk is present with many papers stacked neatly on top, many paintings of Hyrules' royal family line the walls, a fire is lit in the fireplace, by it stands Princess Zelda.
The Princess stands staring at me hands clutched in front of her, her eyes are on Link asking him a silent question. When she catches my eyes on her she smiles.
"Welcome to Hyrule" she says. "I am Princess Zelda" she says this last bit with a slightly different tone. "The man you have already met is my Champion, Link". She puts emphasis on the 'My Champion', and why is she introducing Link to me? I've known him far longer then she has!
Link clears his throat, "Zelda...this is Navi"
Zelda blinks and fights with a well up bringing. I know she is thinking something she will not say because it would seem inappropriate.
"Navi?!" she says my name with surprise and half a mock. "This woman cannot be Navi!"
"She is" Link cuts her off "Zelda, I know this sounds absurd, but trust me, this is not some girl who merely appeared. This is Navi"
Zelda swallows hard, "and why prey tell is she a human and not a fairy?"
Link presses me lightly into a chair and turns to face his Princess.
"Something I'd liked explained to me as well"
I look from Zelda to Link. Are they angry? I can feel tears burn at my eyes. I don't want Link to be angry at me!
A gentle hand wipes the tears from my face, Link is looking at me, but he doesn't seem angry!
"Navi, please just tell us what happened. Nobody's going to hurt you." He speaks his word with such gentleness that I feel I can believe him.
I open my mouth to tell him my story-and stop. How can I tell Link the truth? He would laugh when he learned my reasons. Princess Zelda is staring at me, her eyebrows in knitted together in a scowl, I know she is angry. I cant tell the truth, it's just not possible.
"I don't know why I'm like this..." I say slowly, I have never told a lie before so I don't know where to begin. "I just woke up like this. I was inside when the sun set last night, but when I awoke I was outside." I look into Link's eyes "where you found me"
Link holds my eyes for a moment. My heart flutters in chest.
"Well" Zelda steps in and takes Link's arm, "that is a mystery!"
Link nods his eyes still on me.
"Oh course you may stay here," Zelda puts in "I shall have a room prepared for you."
I tear my eyes from Link and look at the Princess, "Thank-you" I say softly.
"And of course we shall have to get proper clothes for you" She steps forward and takes my arm pulling me upward with a gentle pull.
"Come" she said "we must find appropriate dress for you" I nodded as I followed her out, I cast a look back at Link. His eyes were on the Princess...or was it me?
* ~ * ~ *
"That looks lovely!"
I study myself in the mirror carefully. It's the first time I've actually had a full view of myself. Like my hair my eyes are a delicate pink, I'm quite small (for a human) and through the bent mirrors I can see ting wings imprinted on my back. The dress which Princess Zelda was referring to is white silk, it has a long skirt that makes gentle sighs as I move, the sleeves are long and billowing and the Princess says the accent my slender hands. The neck is line is high compared to hers and shows only a touch of my pale chest. The entire dress is sewn with silver thread and there are pearls stitched in to the bodice and hems.
The princess combs my hair and scents it with a light rose water, she braids it to the nape of my neck then fastens it with a white ribbon leaving the rest of my long hair free to cascade down my back.
It's the first time I've worn human clothes, I've often thought about it, but nothing was ever made in the size for a fairy! I hardly ever wore fairy clothes! Fairies prefer to go unclothed, to show off their delicate bodies (something I find quite pointless considering I've been told I'm nothing more then a noisy ball of light.)
There's a knock at the door, which Zelda answers herself, a moment later Link walks in and stares at my reflection in the mirror. I turn to face him.
Zelda smiles and tries to catch Link in conversation "I was just telling Navi how lovely she is" she says.
Link nods but doesn't take his eyes off the dress and me.
I cock my head slightly; Link is staring at me so strangely.
"Do you think its lovely?" I ask. I can feel my cheeks burn and I try and rub away the feeling.
He doesn't even hesitate "It's very lovely." he agrees.
To be continued...
A/N: I'll try and update soon, I'm to tired to write a real authors note.
