"Link? Wake up."
"Huh what?"
Link sat up groaning. His head ached along with the rest of his body. He looked around himself. At least a hundred dead lizalfos bodies were strewn about the field. The grass was dry now but stained dark red. There was the smell of blood in the air and it made those who smelled it recoil in disgust. But Link was used to the smell, after being in countless battles with Ganondorf's minions. When Ganondorf was in Hyrule that is. Now he was trapped in the Evil Realm of his own creation.
"Don't you remember what happened last night?"
Link snapped his head towards the fairy.
"No. What happened last night Navi?"
"Oh. Well you should have seen it! I mean you scared the living daylights out of them. It did get a bit gross at the end but, I never knew you to do things like that."
"What?"
"Oh never mind but I think you should go clean yourself up a bit," Navi giggled.
Link looked down at himself. Both his hands were coated with dried blood, his tunic was not green anymore, his face was cut up and still bleeding the tiniest bit, his hair was a muddy reddish-blonde, and his sword could use a good cleaning.
Link stood up and staggered over to a tree and leaned against it. He still found it hard to breathe.
Link groaned, "Man Navi, I still feel as though someone stole all my strength. I can barely stand."
Navi floated down to where he could see her more easily.
"I think all you need is some rest and before you know it, you'll be up and running around again."
Link gave her a weak smile.
"You sound so sure."
"Hey, would I lie to you?"
"I'd have to think about that one."
"Hey! You better be sarcastic about that!"
"Navi, I'm so tired I don't think my brain is working right."
"Let's hope it's working."
Link sighed a bit and began to walk forward but not very well. Navi swooped down in front of his pain-racked face.
"Where are you going?"
"Home."
Navi had to think that one over. Link moved around so much, did he really have a place to call home? Navi decided to ask.
"Where's home?"
"Home," He muttered softly.
Navi sighed. He must really be tired then if he couldn't answer. Navi looked in the direction he was going and saw he was headed for the Kokiri Forest.
Well it's one of the safest places he can go to. Navi shrugged and followed Link, helping him stay on his feet all the way there.
The tunnel that served as the entrance for the Kokiri Village was almost never traveled except by Link who wandered in and out. Link now slowly walked leaning against the side of the tunnel for support. Navi stopped him when he reached the end.
"You wait here and I'll go get Saria," Navi told Link before flying off.
Link moaned and sunk to his knees and momentarily closed his eyes. When he opened them again, a girl Kokiri was staring at him. Link jumped in surprise but it looked more like he was slowly sitting up.
The girl had sunshine yellow hair put into pigtails, crystal clear blue eyes, a forest green tank top, a matching green skirt, and ankle high green boots. She looked at him with curiosity. Link just laid his head against the wall. The girl then spoke.
"Hi. My name is Jessica. What happened to you?"
Link just mumbled something that was almost inaudible.
"Did this happen from the outside?"
Link barely nodded his head.
The strange girl called Jessica looked Link over as if examining him.
"If you don't get help soon, those cuts on your chest could get infected and kill you."
Link just thought, Thank you. I had to know that. That makes me feel better.
Jessica whipped a bottle out of her pocket and opened it. It had some sort of cream in it.
"Now you're going to have to take your shirt off if you want me to help you."
Link just stared at her, not in surprise but in exhaustion.
The girl stared back and nodded. She slipped his shirt up from behind his tunic through its huge slash rips. She then took some of the cream and rubbed it on the huge slashes on his chest. To Link, it felt quite soothing instead of some other medications for some other bad wounds he's had. After she was done, Jessica closed the bottle and put it away and covered the slashes with his shirt once again. Link eventually felt a lot better and didn't understand why. Jessica just smiled.
"It will take a few days but that cream will help totally heal those cuts."
Link finally said his first words to her. "What is that stuff?"
"Just a simple medicine you can make."
Link raised an eyebrow.
"Don't worry about it. I'll see you again sometime," Jessica said waving bye and running off.
Link was still confused and didn't really know what was going on. He was still puzzled about the night before when he had blacked out in the fight with at least fifteen lizalfos and waking back up to see them all lying dead on the ground.
"What the heck is going on?" He muttered to himself.
Link looked up to see Saria standing by him. She smiled at him.
"Got yourself into another fight didn't you?"
"Yes, I guess you could say that," Link said looking at the ground.
"Come on, it'll be awhile before you're leaving again."
Saria grabbed his arm and helped him up and acted something like a support while he walked. Saria took him to her house and brought him to a guest room. She walked him in and helped him sit down on the bed.
"You can stay here until you can walk on your own again."
"Thanks," Link said in a rough sounding tone.
"Your throat must be dry, you need some water." Saria said getting up and leaving and carefully closing the door behind herself.
The last thing Link remembered was his head hitting the pillow and falling asleep.
"Huh what?"
Link sat up groaning. His head ached along with the rest of his body. He looked around himself. At least a hundred dead lizalfos bodies were strewn about the field.
