The Legend of Zelda: The Rebirth of Hyrule
Chapter One
"Tetra... Link... wake up..." said a voice. "Wake up!" Link and Tetra opened their eyes. They both awakened to the sound of Niko's voice Tetra was still in Link's arms, and they were still wrapped under a blanket. "Did you two have fun last night?"
Tetra jumped up. "Sure," she said, putting her hair back up and dusting off her clothes. "Nothing like sitting out under the stars. Then again, we're gonna be getting lots of stars on our trip, right Link?" Link looked at her, wondering what was going on. Niko could tell that Link was kind of hurt that she didn't tell him what happened, even though they all knew. Niko walked away and Tetra grabbed Link's hand and heaved him up. "Well, you don't have a boat anymore, so you'll stay in the same room as me." Tetra leaned in to give him a kiss, and he backed up. Link looked at her, with a look of pain in his eyes. "What did I do?"
"What? What happened last night? Why couldn't you just tell Niko?" Link said, starting to walk away. "I think maybe I'll room with Niko instead of you. At least he doesn't lie about things." Link walked away, heartbroken. 'Was I that stupid to think that a pirate like Tetra could actually show people that she could love someone? I was so stupid, why did I even let that happen last night?'
Tetra looked at Link walking away. 'I'm so stupid.' she thought to herself. 'I could have just lost the only guy I ever loved. That ever actually gave a shit about me! DAMN IT!' She kicked a rock as she said it, starting to walk onto the ship.
The crew set sail, and Link sat down at the bottom of the ship. He looked around the room, remembering the last time he was here, that he was here for training. "OK SAVVY! Ready for your next bit of training?" Link was sitting, and suddenly where he was standing was raising upwards. "ATTENTION!" Screamed a voice, kind of weak and a bit high for a male. When the moving finally stopped, he looked across the room, and saw Niko standing on the other side.
"Not now Niko, I'm not in the best mood right now." He said, turning back around. Niko jumped to the platform, looking at link.
"Listen, I was ordered to come down here and give you training. What Mrs. Tetra says, goes."
"Why should I believe her? She lies to everyone else, how do you know she's not lying to you either?" He looked away, and Niko walked to the other side. Link looked at him coldly, then turned around, and once again followed Link. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT FROM ME?" Link said, drawing his sword, holding it about to attack Niko. Niko fell to the ground, pain stricken.
"Listen Link, I know Tetra, and I know she cares about you. On the way here, she kept looking at you the whole boat ride. She's just not a big person for showing people her emotions, especially not when it comes to her liking people. Trust me, he liking someone doesn't happen very often." Niko stood up, as Link's sword dropped to the floor. "She loves you, I know she does. She's just not good with emotions." They both stood up, and started walking towards the deck. As they walked up, Link saw Tetra by the side of the boat, looking out to the sea. He walked over to her, and he stood there looking at the sea.
"Link... I'm really really sorry." She said, turning towards him. He looked at her bitterly, and he could tell she's been crying. Her beautiful blue eyes that had him in a locked glaze a little before had become swollen, and very cloudy. She went to kiss him, and he took a step back. "Link... please forgive me." Link sighed briefly.
"I'm making a peace agreement. Last night, was amazing, and we both know that. Maybe until you can really figure out how you feel towards us, we should at least stay friends to make this journey work." He walked away, as tetra turned back around, and she started crying.
It was dark, and they were still on the sea waiting for their first adventure to begin. Link sat in Niko's room, looking at his sword, thinking about how the last time he had used it was to save tetra. He knew that he loved her, and knew that he couldn't handle this. He was alone, Niko still up on deck. He threw the sword at the wall, the sword sticking out after getting in, and fell down to the bed, tears in his eyes.
Tetra was still standing on the ship in the same spot, tears still filled her eyes, looking out into the sea. She didn't know if anyone even realized she had been standing there all day except Link, since she hadn't communicated with anyone else. 'How could I do that to him? I told him how I felt, then I shrug him off. What kind of a girlfriend does that make me?' "MRS. TETRA!" A shrill voice screamed at the top of her lungs. She didn't respond, deep in thought. 'The ocarina even played that song to us... the one that the king of red lions told him about. Why try to even hide it.' "MRS. TETRA!" The voice screamed again. He looked behind him, and saw that Niko was standing behind her. She wiped a tear from her eye.
"What do you want Niko." She said, emotionless. He looked at her, thinking to himself that he never saw her cry before, no matter how much pain she had been in, he never once saw her cry. He took a handkerchief out from pocket and handed it to her. "Thank you." She said gratefully. "What's wrong?"
"Listen Mrs. Tetra, I can't stand seeing either you or Link like this. Why don't you just make up with him? Tell him that you're sorry and that you want him? Everyone on the ship already knows that you two hit it off the other night, there's no secret there."
"BECAUSE I SCREWED UP!" She screamed at him. "There's nothing I can do about it now, and if I even try to make it up to him, it'll just make it worse for both of us. She turned back around, seeing Niko still standing there. "Niko, I don't need your sympathy. Please, just leave me here alone."
The day had awaken, as Tetra opened her eyes, seeing the sunrise. It was beautiful, shades of orange surrounding as she felt the waves crashing against the boat's side. "We're almost there." She said to herself quietly. "I hope I can handle this."
The boat stopped, all it's men ::cough:: I mean... crew unloaded themselves off the ship. They looked around, and a struck of terror was on every crew member's face. They looked at the city, including Tetra, knowing that this wasn't what they expected. Tetra fell to her knees, the sight so horrifying, such pain was in her heart. The place she knew and loved was...
It was burned down. Ashes flying all over the land, remains of buildings on the ground, blood everywhere. Bodies scattered around on the floor, lifeless, pools of scarlet around the bodies. Tetra felt sick to her stomach. There was body that lay there, a familiar face to her, not sure why. The body stirred, as Tetra ran over to it. She grabbed the victim's hand. "What are you guys waiting for! This person is injured and needs help!" They picked him up, his breathing very light, and placed him on Tetra's bed, turning sheets scarlet. He seemed much older, had blonde hair and blue eyes. Very tall, muscular, and looked like he had just been through a terrible loss.
Tetra walked over to the man, a moist wipe cloth in hand for her to wipe the blood off the man's face. He stirred, waking up seeing the young girl standing in front of her. "Where... am I?" He stuttered out.
"You're on my ship, your village was attacked." She said, wiping more blood off his face. He smiled at her. "You were the only survivor throughout the whole town." He sat up, grasping the side of his body in aching pain.
"I'm... the only one left?" He said, a shiver down his spine. "I came to find my daughter who used to live in that village, but I got followed here by a gang of thieves that have been trying to kill me for years." He smirked, and loosened the grasp on his side. Tetra put the cloth on his side, wiping blood away from there.
"That looks really bad, I'm guessing that they were throwing bombs around, and it looks like you had just escaped by the tiniest bit. Am I correct?" Tetra said, looking at him.
"I think so, that's all I remember though." He said. "Do you have any bandages or anything to wrap this up with?"
"Yes... I need you to take off your shirt so I can see exactly what you need." He took of his shirt, showing his very muscular body, cuts and bruises all over it. She saw an interesting scar, shaped like a heart, and then thought of her mom. She had one memory of her family, and she remembered when she was like 3, right before Gannondorf had attacked her village. She was sitting by the beach with her dad and her mom there, the last time she ever saw her dad before he left. He told her how much that he loved her, but went off to go get money for us. He took a candle, and on the side of her body burned a heart shape on her skin, then she did the same to him. Then, the next day he was gone, and she never saw him again. "Wow... um... not to sound nosey or anything, but how did you get that scar?" She said, pointing at the heart.
"I got it when I was about to leave my family, my wife burned it in, and I did with her. I came back here looking for them both."
She smiled, wondering. "What's her name? I used to live here, maybe I can help you out." He looking in his pocket, taking out a picture of a beautiful young lady, brown hair and hazel eyes, with a small child with blonde hair and blue eyes and handed it to Tetra.
"Her name was Kiele. She was beautiful. Me and her were married for about 5 years before I left, since we were becoming very poor, so I had to leave her and start a life a piracy. I sent money there for the first 2 years, and then the money kept getting sent back to me. I started getting very suspicious and decided to come here and see why." I looked at him, tears in my eyes. "What's the matter Sheila?" She started crying again.
"You... called me Sheila." She said, remembering being called that when she was younger.
"I look at you, and I can see my daughter in you. That's what I used to call her all the time. Maybe you know her. Her name was Tetra."
