Chapter 2: right intentions, wrong outcomes
As he started running out of the forest, Link could still hear the shrill cries of Malon.
"I know YOU wrote me this letter! Don't deny your love for me!" Malon cried out waving the piece of parchment.
'I hope she turns into a stalfos.' Link thought to himself as he kept running.
Out of nowhere a bright blue light shot out of the trees. "Link! Wait for me!" Navi called out flying right in front of his face.
"What do you want Navi, I can't be bothered right now." Link scolded as he kept running.
Navi turned to a bright orange. 'It better not be about that princess b!tch.' "Uh…don't go!" Navi tried to stall.
"And why not?"
"Because….uh…because we need you here! So quit running!"
"No! I'm gonna catch up to Zelda and explain everything that happened."
"HOW?! You saw what happened back at your house. She'll never take you back."
Link raised an eyebrow. "Go away Navi…"
Navi's orange glow started to brighten more as she stopped following Link. Suddenly a thought popped into her mind.
"I know how to get her to love you again." She said, turning back to her normal color.
"I don't want to make her love me. I want her to love me on her own free will." He retorted.
She turned a bit red then calmed down to her normal blue. "I know something that will soothe her and calm her down so you'll be able to talk to her again."
"Really? What is it?"
"Stop running and I'll tell you."
Link stopped running and stared at Navi. "Tell me…"
"It's an ocarina song. It's called the Lovers Elegy. Play it and she'll instantly listen to everything you have to say." Navi started to whistle the tune as Link copied her on his ocarina. "There! Now hurry!"
Link nodded his head and started running the rest of the way out of the forest.
"Heh…heh…heh…little does he know that that song ISN'T the Lovers Elegy. It's actually the Song of Transport. He'll play it and Zelda will disappear leaving him with ME!" Navi started to laugh evilly and flew away.
…When Link reached the entrance to Hyrule field he played a song on his ocarina which called his horse, Epona, to come. He mounted her and started galloping. Riding passed the stone wall in Hyrule field, he saw a small figure running towards the castle wall. It was Zelda. Link caught up to her and dismounted.
"Zelda! Please stop!" Link cried out.
"Why should I?! You betrayed our love! Now good bye!" Zelda stomped off.
Link ran in front of her again and pulled out his ocarina.
"What are you doing? I don't want to hear or see anymore foolishness!" Zelda folded her arms.
Little did Link and Zelda know that a small little fairy was watching them from some nearby bushes. "This is it! Nothing can go wrong!" Navi chuckled to herself.
"Zelda, please listen…" Link placed the mouthpiece in his mouth and started playing his newly learned song.
As he was playing the song a blue light started forming around Zelda. She became panicked started to shout. "LINK! What are you doing?!"
When Link was done a blue light formed around himself as well. Link was totally oblivious to what was going on. He still thought that the song was going to calm Zelda, not send her away. Before Link could start talking, the both of them disappeared into oblivion.
Once Link and Zelda were gone Navi darted out of her hiding place. "NO! That's not what's supposed to happen! Only ZELDA was supposed to go!" The fairy screamed and flew away.
…Moments later Link and Zelda landed in a body of water after being transported. Zelda caught her breath and looked around. There was nothing but water and small islands.
"LINK! What the hell did you do!? You really did it this time! I'm going to swim to one of those islands so I can find a way home. Don't bother following me!" Zelda hissed at Link.
'Dmn it! I played that song exactly how Navi taught me! What could've gone wrong?' Link thought. "Zelda! Wait! I can explain everything, just listen! PLEASE!" Link begged, trying to stop Zelda again.
"Stop! Don't come any closer!" Zelda commanded, putting her hand up. "I'm in a body of water in some place that I don't know! And I'm also soaking wet and pissed." Zelda almost had tears coming down her cheeks this time.
Link felt horrible and torn inside. He started to float in the water as Zelda started to swim away from him. Link and Zelda were too far away from any island to swim to, they would drown if they tried to swim anywhere far. Plus, neither of them knew if there were any type of sharks or monsters in the water. Link wanted to stop Zelda and warn her but he knew that she wouldn't listen, especially after what had just happened.
Just when Link thought all hope was lost, something nudged him in his back. He turned around and saw that it was a red boat. But it wasn't any ordinary boat. It had a dragon's head…and it talked!
"Hello there! What are you doing out in the middle of the water?" The boat asked.
Link screamed and started to swim off, but the boat continued to follow him.
"What are you doing…you…you…THING!" Spun around as quickly has he could, yelled out and drew his sword. After drawing it out, Link felt his sword get extremely heavy and almost dropped it.
"Put your sword back in it's sheath my boy! There's nothing to be scared of! I am the King of Red Lions and I am here to help you, not hurt you." The boat said while getting closer to Link.
Link put his sword away and gave the boat a weird look. "Ok…so how can you talk?"
"No time to talk right now…get in the boat so we can get your lady friend before she drowns."
Link followed the King of Red Lions' orders and got in. They sailed a bit to where Zelda was. She was barely staying above the water's surface and struggled for air. Link bent down and pulled her into the boat. Zelda's dress was soaked and clung to her body like a magnet. She was completely delirious and shut her eyes after losing a battle with herself trying to comprehend what was going on.
Several minutes passed by before Link, Zelda and the King of Red Lions made it to land. "Here you go! Finally made it to land. If you two wish to sail someplace else, I'll be here!" Red Lions said, letting Link out while carrying Zelda.
Link laid her on the sandy beach and turned around to talk to the boat. Quite to his surprise the boat was sailing off.
"HEY! STOP! WAIT A MINUTE!" Link cried out but it was no use. The boat was too far away to hear him.
Taking a long look around, Link observed the island that they were now on. It seemed really down-to-earth. Simple houses were scattered about. People walking around like there was nothing to fear. Link looked up to see a long bridge connect two higher parts of the island. The sun was high and reflected off the water, making it glitter.
As he continued to take it all in, soft footsteps were heard in the distance coming there way. Link ignored it and looked down at Zelda who was still unconscious.
"Mister!" A young girl's voice cried out.
Link didn't pay attention.
"MISTER!!" The girl said now tugging on Link's tunic.
Link drew his attention away from Zelda and onto the child. It was a small blonde haired girl wearing pigtails with a flower-printed blue dress on. Link knelt down next to the girl. "Yes, how can I help you?"
"HI! I'm Aryll! Who are you and your friend?" The girl said quite cheerfully.
"Nice to meet you…Aryll. I am Link. And this is Zelda." Link pointed down to the ground where Zelda was.
"What's wrong with her? Did you kill her?"
Link softly chuckled. "No…I didn't kill her. She…uh…swam too much and grew really, really tired. She's taking a nap right now."
"Well that's a weird place to take a nap!"
"Yes…well…" Link thought for a minute. "Hey Aryll…I'm not familiar with this area, can you tell me where my friend and I are at?"
"Of course! This is Outset Island. And out there is the Great Sea!" Aryll pointed out to the water.
Link patted Aryll on the head. "Thank you. You were a big help. Now you should get on home before your mother starts to worry about you."
"I don't have a mom! I live with my grandma! Do you want to meet her? She loves company! And she makes really good soup! C'mon Link!" Aryll grabbed Link's hand and led him towards her house.
Aryll opened the door and walked into the house which was oozing with a appetizing smell. In the back was an elderly lady stirring something in a huge kettle over the fire.
"Well, hello my dear Aryll! Back so soon?" The woman asked.
"Yeah! I found a new friend too! His name is Link and I invited him over for some soup!" Aryll exclaimed, handing Link a bowl of warm soup.
"Well hello there, Link. It's nice to meet you. I'm Aryll grandmother. You can call me grandma." The little old lady smiled.
Link grinned and took a sip of the soup. "Wow! This is really good!" He complimented and then downed the rest of it.
"You're a pig mister Link!" Aryll laughed.
"That's not nice Aryll!" Grandma scolded. "There's plenty more soup where that came from."
"Thanks, but no thanks. I really should be going. I don't want to overstay my welcome." Link set the bowl down on a table and walked towards the door.
"Ok, it was nice meeting you, Link. You're welcome to drop by at anytime!" Grandma waved.
"Yeah! You better come back soon Link!" Aryll laughed and waved.
Link waved back and opened the door to leave. When he was about to take a step out, a not too happy looking person was standing in his way.
Preview for next chapter:
Sitting up on the highest point on Outset Island, Zelda stared out into the never ending sea. Why was this happening? Link had betrayed their love and then sent them here to this place far from home.
She heard Link's distant calls for her and ignored them. Zelda felt homesick and wanted to leave.
"Hello there. Are you from around here?" A voice coming from behind said.
