- Silver 186
Silver swam with Royce, Link, and Jabu-Jabu lazily. The three boys didn't swim as well as they should be and Silver was worried about that, so after school, he was trying to get them to improve upon their swimming. While the 4 guys practiced swimming in circles, more or less, Melody watched from the side, half interested in their swimming, and half interested in a book that she had.
Silver, Melody, Royce, Link, and Jabu-Jabu were all in Zora's Fountain. They didn't like to go into Zora's Domain, because of all of the snootiness and nastiness they encountered from other Zora's. Silver still wished he could earn their respect. The Zora people seemed to hate him simply because he was half Sheikah.
Silver never could understand why exactly all of the Zora's hated him; he thought that Prince Zora and Princess Ruto didn't exactly help his and Melody's popularity rise with flying colors. Silver, still swimming around quite carelessly, gently flowed to the bottom of Zora's Fountain.
Zora's Fountain was not the place to be. Silver could never understand why, as this was such a magical place where all of the Zora's could trace their heritage. Nowadays, the Fountain was simply used as place for the lower class to live, and a place for festivals.
This was the place were the Zora's were born, well not the Zora's exactly, but according to Zora myth the goddess Nayru herself blessed the lake that would become Zora's Fountain, and the fish that lived in the lake were highly intelligent, until one day a fish named Zora promised to Farore's granddaughter Ranshka that he would teach her to swim like a fish for a Hylian body, and to send the Hylian fisherman away, who fished at the lake constantly.
Ranshka did just that, she sent the fisherman away by making the lake enormous, by creating a series of caverns that was the only way to the lake, and where the entrance was covered by water that came from the lake. Zora attempted to teach Ranshka to swim, but was unsuccessful. When Ranshka swam in the lake, her magic would come off her, making the fish more and more Hylian-like, until Ranshka threatened Zora, but he told her that he couldn't teach her to swim, so she made him into a large fish, the same fish that Jabu-Jabu was. The fish people named themselves the Zora's after the one who indirectly made them like that. Zora became a god, and lived at Lake Hylia.
That was the story of how Zora's came to be, all in Zora's Fountain, but nobody ever lived there anymore.
That was Silver's favorite story about the gods, there were many others, but none contained anything about Sheikah's. He wondered quite often about his mother's race. He also wondered about the one thing that he had that had belonged to her, the mysterious ocarina that his father gave him on his deathbed. He told Silver that it had been his mother's and she would've wanted him to have it.
When Silver and Melody were younger, they would pretend that they were Link and Princess Zelda facing Ganondorf, with the ocarina, that they pretended was the Ocarina of Time. Silver would defeat him with the ocarina and Melody, as Zelda would open the Evil Realm and with the sages send Ganondorf in.
Silver went into the hole. Silver, Melody, Link, Royce, and Jabu-Jabu all lived in a hole just like the Zora's in the old days did. It was another reason to be looked down upon by the other Zora's. He reached around in the dirt and pulled out the Ocarina. The interesting thing about the ocarina was that no matter what you did with it, it would always play beautifully and without a problem. Silver, with the ocarina in hand, continued to swim around Zora's Fountain lazily. You couldn't play the ocarina under water.
Silver began to think of his crush, the lovely Pearl. Pearl was the prettiest girl in the Zora's world, at least Silver thought, and so did many other boys. However, Melody had warned Silver about her, she was popular, and would never go out with someone considered a social outcast like Silver. Silver knew that Melody was right, but didn't really want to admit to himself that she was right.
With Pearl in mind, Silver suddenly had the inspiration to go to the surface by Jabu-Jabu's altar and play the ocarina. He shot up out of the water of Zora's Fountain, and found a nice secluded place, and began to play a wistful little tune.
Out of nowhere a voice suddenly shocked him back into reality: "Hey freakah, what is that?" Before Silver, there was Prince Zora, Princess Ruto, and Pearl. How could he forget, Pearl and Princess Ruto were good friends. Silver always secretly hoped that he could make Pearl and Melody good friends.
"Nothing," Silver replied, hiding the ocarina behind him. "It was something, what was it?" Princess Ruto asked. "Nothing," Silver asked. Silver was busy speaking to Prince Zora and Princess Ruto that he didn't notice Pearl sneaking up behind him. "HA! I got it!" Pearl suddenly yelled. "Hey! Give that back!" Silver yelled. Pearl blew on the ocarina, and it played a little note. Silver saw a malicious look in Pearl's eyes, something that he never saw before. "Catch! Pearl yelled and threw the ocarina over Silver's head, where Prince Zora caught it, then threw it to Princess Ruto, who in turn, threw the ocarina back to Pearl.
"All right, Silver, Pearl said quite meanly, here's your precious ocarina, but you're going to have to catch me!" Pearl said, dangling the ocarina in front of him. She ran in front of the wooden logs that kept Zora's from falling down the waterfall. Recently, the logs had become quite rotten and needed to be replaced.
Silver ran at Pearl with all of his might, for he wanted his mother's ocarina back. He caught up to Pearl and snatched the ocarina from her hand, but was so close to the logs that he couldn't stop now. He ran straight into a log, which was now soft, cold, and rotten. Instead of stopping Silver, the log went with him. The log, with Silver went down Zora Falls, and now Silver was outside of Zora's Domain, further than he had ever been before in his entire life........
What will happen to Silver? Will he survive? Go back to Zora's Domain? Go and stay at the Zora River Valley? You will only find out if you read the next chapter. Let me know what you think about this, please review!
