The Shape of Pain

By KawaiiKirby

Chapter 1

Link skipped along Hyrule Field playing his ocarina. He was on his way to visit Zelda, Hyrule's princess. He soon was at the market, where noises buzzed everywhere. All kinds of people live in the market. Shop owners, old couples, young lovers. It was quite a sight. Link remembered when he was young and first came to the market. He was in awe. He had come from a forest where little people with fairies lived. He was one of those little people. It was a tiny village compared to the market. "Hello, sir." He waved to an old man sitting on a box. The man waved back. He soon was to the castle garden, saying hello to the guards on patrol. "Hello, Logan." He waved at the young twenty-three year old guard on patrol. "Link, haven't seen you around much. Where you been?" "The usual. I've come to see Zelda." Logan smiled, "Of course. She should be in the main garden. I haven't heard anything much from her yet today, though." He frowned. "Well, you'll make her day, I'm sure." He walked back to his patrol area and stood stiff. Link headed into the main garden and lifted his head expecting to Zelda in her gown, but when he looked he stopped dead in his tracks. His eyes became very wide and filled with tears of anger. He let out a cry of pain. Lying before him was Zelda, with an arrow through her heart, a shocked expression on her pale face. Her normally golden hair was drenched with blood. Link fell to the ground and pounded his fist on the ground. Logan and a couple other guards came running at the sound of his voice. "Link, what's wrong?" Logan asked. But when he saw Zelda, he said no more. "But how?" said one of the guards, "We've been guarding all day. We would have least heard her scream." "Don't ask how," Logan snapped, "all I what to know is who." Link gagged and vomited all over the main garden's ground. He felt sick. Zelda, he's only love, was gone. Gone forever. He couldn't stop the tears from flowing down his pale face. Why? Why did this have to happen? Zelda hadn't done anything wrong. She was a perfect princess for Hyrule. Logan patted Link on the back, "I'll leave the grave up to you." Link looked up at him. He nodded. An hour later, Link finished up the grave with some flowers. On the tombstone he wrote, R.I.P Princess Zelda 16 This grave is for the wonderful princess, Zelda, for whom I love. He finished carving the letters when Mido walked by. "Whatcha' doin' Link?" the annoying brat was at it again. "Leave me alone, Mido" Link glared at him. "But, but, Link.." Mido used his most babyish voice he had. "Shut up, Mido!" Link snapped wearily. Far off on a small cliff above the Lost Woods, stood a figure blanketed by a shadow. The figure grinned evilly as it steadied it's bow and aimed. Right at Mido....
