Blah to you all... i'm running outta chapters, and i'm not ready with the sequel

The Age of Training and Awakening

I am Impa, child of the Earth and of the Sheikah. I am daughter of Mipa, princess Zelda's caretaker. Zelda and I are close even though I'm much younger than her. She often told me that I was like her little sister.

First we checked on the Gerudo that was found the night before I arrived. Ria was still tending to her wounds. Whatever happened to this Gerudo was bad. I personally thought she was going to die. She seemed only a little younger than Kirjava, Zelda and Link who were all the same age.

After that, Bado proceeded to show us the Lost Woods. There we talked about digging a tunnel to the Goron's cave, and a tunnel to the Zora's domain. First we worked our way towards the Goron's cave. By sunset, we were a fair distance into the tunnel.

As we walked out of the forest, I Ria ran up to us, and in between pants said:

"The Gerudo... The Gerudo girl... Is awake."

That sparked some interest among us. We looked at each other, and ran to the place where the Gerudo was. I don't think any cared that we left Ria running behind us.

When we stepped in side the small house, the Gerudo girl was indeed awake. In fact, she looked at us as if she was looking into our lives. I was scared, and looked away. Then, almost immediately, she was loaded with all the questions that had been on their minds.

On my count, almost 34 questions had been asked. To my amazement, she didn't answer one. I had wondered why, and thought she had been sworn to silence.

That night I went to the Deku Tree to ask what was wrong. He had said:

"The witches... Koume and Kotake... had cast a spell on her... making her mute... Unfortunately... No one knows how to... Remove the spell... Or at least... That's what was... Thought... Just talk... to her..."

That night, I crept to Zelda's bed, and was about to wake her. I had so many things to ask her, but something caught my attention. On the floor, I saw a piece of paper under her bed. I picked it up and read:

Sometimes I doubt Kirjava. She might a Child like the rest of us, but I don't know... What I wondered about is what she did during the night we spent that the Castle... Sometimes, I think that she is somehow trying to stop us from finishing this quest.

She may be one of those special Hylians, but evil can take over anyone. Somehow, I feel that she has something against my union with Link. She should know that Link is mine, and mine alone. I can't blame her though. She doesn't have anyone to love.

I'm mad at the fact that she hugged Link or whoever hugged who. She should know that Link had love for me. She knew even before we arrived at the Rito's place. Sometimes, I wish she never existed.

Speaking of love, Link and I have been on the best terms. He has been especially happy that his feelings matched mine; I don't think that he would love anyone else. Others might want him, but I know his heart will be mine forever.

I am so happy. Link loves me as I love him. I hope nothing breaks our union.

When Zelda moved in her bed, I silently slipped back into mine.

That morning, I decided not to join my friends to finish the tunnels. In fact, I decided to talk to the Gerudo girl. I looked at her, though her eyes had scared me more than the so-called castle ghosts, I then started talking to her:

"I don't know if you understand or not, but I know that a spell has been cast upon you. For some reason, I feel that the place that you had come from had hurt you an awful lot. I wonder if it's possible for you to speak to each other telepathically. That would be nice. I could help you if we could. I don't think it would hurt if we tried either."

She looked at me, and her eyes softened a bit. Then, directing my thought at her said:

"I'm Impa, who are you?"

I didn't receive a reply, then turned to leave. Then, with a heavy Gerudo accent, a voice whispered:

"Don't go... please... I'm Obura."

I turned, and smiled. Then, sitting on the bed of her bed, we started talking. First, we talked about the other children, then about Link and Zelda, and Kirjava. She whispered:

"I think I led the Evil One's group here. I'm sorry. They had followed me as I had tried to flee that one night. They had been hurting me. They knew that I had a special gift. I was a prisoner, until now. Thanks to Ria and the rest of you, I feel like a butterfly bursting from its cocoon."

I shook my head and said:

"Sometimes things are meant to happen. IF you don't mind me asking, what is your gift?"

Ria, suddenly walked in, and said:

"I hope... Wait, what am I saying? I'm not disturbing anything. Impa it's nice that you're keeping her company. Just wait while I clean her wounds and put new bandages."

While she did that, she kept talking as if I was listening. After watching her, Obura looked at me and thought:

"She talks more than anyone I know."

I stifled a giggle, and waited for Ria to finish. After Ria left, Obura looked at me and thought:

"What were we talking about before Ria interrupted?"

I thought about it, and replied:

"About your gift, what is it?"

She looked at me and said:

"I'm just like you, a Child of the Earth. However, I can summon spirits."

I looked at her at shock, then I smiled.
