The Age of Blood and Bonds

I am Kila, child of the Zora and of the Earth. Though Kurana and I are two, we speak as one. We share souls and minds, but never thoughts. Our minds may talk to one another, but never see what the other is thinking.

After awakening from the deep slumber, I found that I was looking through Zelda's eyes.

Hyrule Town Square was a simple, yet very organized town. I could never see how any kind of danger could befall it. The plants were healthy, and the people calm. Never have I seen such peace in a place that could be attacked anytime.

Soon, Zelda had turned her attention to a woman sobbing. Being the nature of the children, Zelda, and the others approached the woman, and asked:

"Why are you sobbing?"

The woman looked up and analyzed the Children. I was sure I saw a glint of familiarity in her eyes when the woman looked at Kirjava. The woman then answered:

"I have lost my child. She was taken from our home while I was in the market. I'm pretty sure the wolves near here took her."

The Children look at each other, and nodded. Link replied:

"We'll help you look for her."

As the Children looked around, a baby's cry rang from the bushes. The Children rushed to the source of the cry, fearing the worst. What they had seen was nothing more than extraordinary.

The wolves weren't exactly wolves. They were standing on two legs just like a human, yet had wolf features. The human-like wolves were circling the child as if ready to pounce.

Zelda ran in distracting the human-like wolves, while Link unsheathed his sword. Kirjava ran in an snatched the infant from the clutches of these creatures.

As Kirjava ran past Zelda, I noticed that the infant's eyes were purple. It seems that Zelda had noticed too, for she had stopped what she was doing, and looked at Kirjava and the infant. Link had noticed too. After fighting off the last creature, he and Zelda quietly walked behind Kirjava.

As they approached the woman, the woman looked up and broke into a run. She gently took the baby from Kirjava's arms and thanked the Children. Then she asked:

"What are your names, my children? I must know if I am to tell my child about how three children saved her."

All the Children introduced themselves to the woman. Then woman said:

"If my child has a boy when she grows up, I'll be sure that she names him Link."

The Children bid the woman farewell. Though the woman was tending to her child, we all knew she wished them well.

When the Children were a fair distance from the woman. Link and Zelda turned to Kirjava, with looks of distrust on their face.

Link asked Kirjava:

"Why didn't you tell us? I thought we were supposed to be bound for life after discovering each other's existence."

Kirjava replied with no hint of anger in her voice:

"I have my reasons. I didn't want you to think differently."

Zelda, restraining her anger, asked:

"Why? Is it that you can't trust us? Do you think we'll turn against you?"

Kirjava looked at her with weary eyes and said:

"Do you know what it's like to have never be loved by parents? Do you know what it's like to look like them in everyone's eyes, but not your own? I found a family in you and now your probing into what should have been a secret? Do you see me doing that to you? Should I have told you? Would you have not asked me more if I had told you?"

Zelda started yelling at this point:

"You should have told us! That way we would know about you, and maybe would have helped you with your parents!"

Link looked with sadness at Kirjava and said:

"Would you have told us anyway?"

Kirjava turned, with her back towards Zelda and Link, and replied solemnly:

"No."

Then she walked away.

Link was going to run after her, but Zelda had held him back. Link was about to protest, but stayed and watched Kirjava's form slowly disappear.

Link and Zelda said nothing as they walked to Hyrule Castle. They had decided to let Kirjava to relax. All the words she had spoken were true, Kirjava knew it, I knew it, and so did Link and Zelda. Deep down, I knew they regretted everything they had done. They continued to walk down the dusty path towards the castle.

When the pair reached the courtyard of the castle, Mipa, Zelda's caretaker had been waiting.

Zelda had said:

"Hello Mipa, have you been taking care of my father? How is he and my mother? Are they okay?"

Mipa looked at her gravely, and said:

"Your father has fallen ill. The illness seems mortal. You must visit him"

Zelda looked at Mipa with disbelief. But when no smile crept upon Mipa's face, she knew. With that, Zelda fell into Link's arms sobbing.
