Hello all of my fellow readers, Link got out of the big black hole he
jumped into.
Link: I-oh-so-smartly played my Ocarina and teleported out of there; am I a genius or what? Come on; tell me I'm not smart!
Me: Actually one of my reviewers told that you should use your Ocarina to get out of there.
Link: Shut up!
(Runs off into corner and cries.)
Me: How immature can you get?
Zelda: The world may never know.
Me: Zelda, you coped that from the Tootsie Pop commercial. Have been watching my T.V. again?
Zelda: What? No! Of course I didn't watch your stupid T.V.! Why would I do that? By the way, do you know when Gundam Seed comes on?
Me: What's wrong with this world?
Zelda: Who knows?
Me: Before I lose all of my beautiful hair from irritation-
Zelda: Your hair is ugly and brown.
Me: Shut up!
(Runs off into corner Link is in and starts crying with him.)
Zelda: I think what she was going to say was thank you guys for all of your reviews! And that she's not on a vacation, she's actually helping her older sister with her new baby! Isn't that cute? OK, and she decided that might she might not always put down stuff on the bottom, example, Anyone(): Thanks for your review blah blah blah. Although she will still answer questions when they are asked. Oh, and since CrypticElf is too stupid to remember this, she owns nothing of Zelda and never will no matter how much she wishes and prays all night long. And it's all because she always has bad luck! On with the fic!
Chapter Five: Partners
Link sighed as he looked up at the ceiling; waiting for a certain someone to come back up to his room and tell him something important. But what was the use of waiting for her to tell him how she got magic when he already knew how she had gotten it? It was true, he had never actually seen a Great Fairy before, but the Great Deku Tree never lied. He would always tell the Korkori tales of how the Three Great Goddess created Hyrule, and who they were and what they each specialized in. The most powerful of the Goddess, Din, used her flaming arms to carve the land and used her power to create the burning inferno of fire. Farore, is personal favorite, used her courage and will and created all of the life to sustain the earth. And then Nayru, who had powered her wisdom and love to create the sky and seas.
These things spun through his head, some he only thought about for a moment some thoughts he spent on more then usual. He jumped when he heard a sudden knock on the door, he got up and put his trusted hat back on his head and made sure that his pony-tail didn't show. He walked silently to the door and opened it, and saw Zelda standing in front of him. He admitted her into his room without a word, and she sat down on a chair near his bed. He sat down on his bed as she looked out the window that faced towards Death Mountain.
"So," he began, and Zelda turned first her eyes and then her face to look at him.
"'So' what?" She asked him, laying her hands own at her side. Link looked at her now light-blue tunic that reminded him of ice and then back at her eyes.
"Tell me how you got magic."
Zelda shifted uneasy in her chair and then got up and went to the door. Laying her hands on it she whispered something that Link couldn't hear and white light shoot through the walls. She turned back to him and then said, "It was a sound charm, so that way no one may hear us speak." He nodded as she walked back to the chair and sat down softly on it and took in a deep breath while closing her eyes. She opened them again and looked to Link, who was looking back.
"Alright, it all started when I was five, I was with my guardian, who's like my mother to me, and we were going to Lake Hylia. We were walking and then I spotted something out of the corner of my, like... something... that sparkled. When my guardian wasn't watching or holding me I snuck off and went looking for it. I followed it for a little while, and then, it went into the ground like it was thin air. So, I put my hand through it and found that it I could go through it, so then I jumped in. I tumbled down a weird tunnel, and then fell into a fountain that had more of those balls of light there. They were so many different colors, it was so amazing. I think... that those balls of light were fairies though, because they had wings like a dragon fly and if you looked close enough you could see small bodies within it. "Anyway, when I was looking at them I heard a laugh, and so I turned around and there was this beautiful woman in front of me, she was wearing a white dress and had wings like the small fairies. She was slender and far taller then all men, her hair was long and blue, her eyes green, and she had something like purple lipstick on her lips. I don't think that anyone believes in them, but it was a Great Fairy. She walked up to me and knelt down next to me, then she put a hand on my shoulder, that was so warm and soft like a baby's bottom. She asked me, 'why does such a young one come down to see me?' I answered, 'Because I wanted see what a light that could move by itself was.'
"She looked at me, and then cupped my face in her slender hands, and then blew a sparkling dust into my face. Suddenly, all of the smaller fairies flew around me, I could see them whizzing around me, so fast that their lights and colors mixing together. Then, when all of their dust was on me the water in the fountain began to come to me, the water reached up and touched me. And then, the fairies flew away from me and the Great Fairy was standing in a white aura, the water went down, and then the Great Fairy grew a ball of power in her hands. She knelt down beside me, and then told these words to me, 'For the pureness within in your soul, and your finding me I shall give the gift of the fairys', the gift of magic.'
She held her the magic that she had created and then it floated to me, I touched it, and then wrapped itself around my body, and then went through my mouth, eyes, and ears. After that I fell asleep, and when I woke again, my guardian was holding me at the fountain."
"So that's how you got magic?" Link asked her, she solemnly nodded back at him, and when he looked into her eyes he realized that she was certain that he was going to tell all of Hyrule of what she had she just told him. For some reason he didn't know why he smiled at her, and she just gave him a confused look.
"Why are you smiling like that?"
"I don't know."
"You're going to tell everyone in Hyrule about this, won't you?"
"Nope."
"What...?"
He saw her blink, and then look out the window the again.
"Why would I tell?" He asked her, the smile gone from his face.
"Because, you think that I'm a spoiled brat."
"Actually, even if I think that you are a spoiled brat, that doesn't mean I should go off blabbering that to everyone. It would invade your privacy, and that's not polite."
Her head spun back to him, and she gave a weird look that Link couldn't put a name to.
"Listen," he told her, scratching the back of his neck. "Maybe, you and me could work as a team? You know, me with my sword and arrows, you with your magic. We could be a perfect team. After all, we're both going to Death Mountain, so why don't we team up and see what's wrong?"
"I already know what's wrong with Death Mountain. And if I'm such a spoiled little girl then why do you want me to help you?"
"Because," he told her as he stopped scratching his neck. "I'm not sure what I think of you now. And what's wrong with Death Mountain? You said you knew."
"I'm not going to tell you! And no, I don't want to team up someone who's just going to try and use me!"
"I didn't say I was trying to use you."
"Well, I know you want to!"
"And why's that?"
"Because everyone always wants power! I don't want power, I just want to be with my guardian and my magic and use it to help people! Not so some swordsman can just take advantage of me!"
"Well," Link told her, trying to keep the cap on his anger from exploding, "if you and your guardian aren't like the kind of person that you think I am, then that means that EVERYBODY isn't how you say they are. And what about the girl and her father at Lon Lon Ranch? There nice people, the hostess of this inn is kind, I heard the queen and king of Hyrule before they were killed were nice. I have friends who are nice. The Goron's are nice, the Zora's are nice, I'm sure that there are people in this inn who are nice, and I some Gerado HAVE to be nice. So not EVERYBODY is trying to have power."
Zelda looked at him, admitting defeat.
"I still don't trust you." She whispered under her breath, just loud enough for him to hear.
"Well, you don't have to! And do want to be on a team or not? Because you haven't given me your answer yet!"
"No. I don't want to team up with you. I'll be going now."
Link watched as she got up and walked out of his room without another word, she stopped at the door and he thought she was going to change her mind but instead she touched the door and the magic she had placed in the room flowed back to her. Once she was done, she opened the door and walked out, closing it behind her.
Zelda walked down the hall silently and then opened the door to her room.
'I should get my stuff together is I'm going to go up to Death Mountain. It's almost too late to start, but I don't want to go whenever Link goes.' Zelda closed the door and then began packing her things. 'I actually didn't call him boy. Hmm.'
Zelda was quiet as she gathered her things; she didn't feel very bouncy as she usually did. She felt down and also... afraid. Afraid, it was an odd feeling; she hadn't felt afraid in a long time. And what was she afraid of? Link telling her secret. He said he wouldn't, but she knew better then to take his word for it.
Zelda finally got her things together, even though she hardly had anything. She put her cloak on and walked out of the room. She took a small glance back at it and then closed the door. She went downstairs and then told Della that she was leaving, and Della gave her a pear for her journey. Pears were rare in Hyrule, because no one grew them there, so Zelda made sure to thank Della graciously before she finally left.
She walked through the bustling crown to where she knew the trail of Death Mountain was, the sun was hot, hotter then usual, and it was hardly morning. And Zelda didn't want to think of how hot it would be at noon while she climbing Death Mountain. She reached the gate of Death Mountain with little difficulty and was stopped by a guard when she approached the gate.
"Halt there young lady!" A man in armor approached her, his eyes shadowed by his helmet. "What are you doing here? Get away from the gate!"
"I want to go up Death Mountain." She told him with monotone voice. She saw the guard's mouth twitch in what he thought was a joke.
"Don't be stupid blonde, you'll be killed."
Zelda stopped and thought for a moment, then, she did the best damsel in distress voice she could make.
"B-but... y-you don't understand! My little kitten white kitten Shmugger Plum is up there! I have to go get her!" Zelda thought this to herself in disgust, 'who in the world would name there cat 'Shmugger Plum'? Shmugger.... Gees, why didn't I just say sugar?'
"Oh my, really?" the guard told her, obviously buying her story.
"Yes!" she told him, thinking about why her parents had abandoned her to create tears in her eyes, it always work, and it was working now. "She's just old enough to walk! She needs to be with her brothers and sisters! P- please let me through! She's too small to defend herself! She'll be eaten!" Now the tears were falling down her face, and she grinned inside herself in satisfaction.
"OK! I'll go get your Shmugger Plum for you! Stay right here mam'!"
The guard opened the gate and then ran up the trail, once he was out of sight. Zelda whipped away the tears and began laughing. She couldn't believe that moron believed her story! What an IDIOT! She made herself stop laugh with difficulty and picked out a well-sized rock. Once she found one, she ran next to the gate and stood next to the wall. She waited for his footsteps, listening carefully. She could hear well with her long and pointed ears, so she wouldn't have to worry about not hearing him come back.
She heard his footsteps and then got ready; he ran through the gate and then looked around, panting like a dog.
"Mam', sorry I couldn't find your- OOF!"
Zelda hit him with the rock right on the back of his head, then, she picked up him and then hid him in the shade. She took his keys she didn't want some little child getting a hold of these.
She stood up and walked away from the guard, shading her eyes against the sun. It was so much hotter then she had thought it would get, how did it get so warm in such a short period of time? Shrugging she walked towards the gate but then was stopped when someone gripped her shoulder.
"Hey, let me-"Zelda turned around, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
The person who had stopped her was none other then Link, and covered her mouth when she shouted.
"Don't scream, if we're trying to sneak away then you shouldn't make so much noise."
Zelda pried his hand off of her mouth and then took a step back away from him.
"We?" She asked him, keeping her voice low.
"Yes 'we.' I followed you here after you left the inn because I had a feeling that you were going to leave up to Death Mountain."
"Don't you have to check out?"
"I already did that. And I'm going to follow you up no matter how much you fuss or try to blast me with your magic. I'm still going to follow you."
Zelda gave him her best glare, it usually sent others running off crying, but Link didn't seemed fazed at all. She stopped glaring and then bit her lip, trying to think of some way to shake him off of her shoulders, but for some reason her mind was completely blank.
"Fine!"
Zelda turned around and walked through the gate; once she and Link were through she closed the gate with her magic and then locked it. She turned to the Death Mountain Trail once again and then started speed walking, not bothering if she heard Link straggling behind her. But to her dismay he ran up right next to her and matched her pace perfectly without a problem.
He didn't say a word and neither did she, and Zelda was just fine with that.
So, tell if that was a good chapter! And just to let you know, Zelda and Link are gone. I have no ides where, but I can finally get some peace and quiet!
(Delivery guy walks into room and drops huge package on the floor with a thud.)
Me: What's that?
Dg: It's a package.
Me: I know that what's in it?
Dg: I'm just the delivery guy, how the hell am I supposed to know? Hope you have a good day!
(Runs off before author can catch him.)
Me: Shit he got away! I wonder what's in the box? Well, I won't know till I open it.
Well, until next time, CrypticElf....
