Wishing on Dead Stars
Hey y'all! I'm back! With a Non-crappy Zelda fic!
things break
I'm not too sure that should have happened...
/we own Joseki, the Valaha, and Alphonse (the Dark-Haired Knight from Tactics Ogre or DHKFTO)/
But Link and co. belong to Nintendo.
Well...slightly Mononoke-esque. Especially Joseki and the Valaha.
And some slight Link angst. Well...not slight...and one part is blatantly stolen from Hidalgo...
Grrrrrrrrrrr. Adult-Link everyone!
Enjoy!

Wishing on Dead Stars
The New Place
You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
Link didn't even bother to look back to see if the sun had caught sight of him as it peeked over the horizon. He looked ahead and Epona began trotting briskly onto the nearly invisible path in the Lost Woods. Link had grown to be fed up with Hyrule. Everyone had come to rely on him in any sort of emergency. They never thought to organize their own armies. They just ran to Link if there was any trouble.
So Link left Hyrule behind.
He caught signs of a village around noon, and decided to head in that direction. Epona, without a bridle, responded to Links voice, and had even learned herself words such as "left", "right", "stop", "run", and "jump". She had learned to come when Link whistled now if she was close enough.
Link heard voices of pixies and forest sprites whispering to each other as they danced in between the trees. He caught words such as "Valaha" and "Feraling". But something strange caught both the elven eyes of Link and the horse eyes of Epona. They stopped and watched.
It seemed that a wolf pack was passing along side of them, but theses weren't wolves. They were white as snow, and as tall as Epona. They had long thin legs and whip-like tails with dragon ears. Their eyes were pure black, and they looked like dire wolves. Around their chests were cape-like sashes of many different colors, blue, red, yellow, orange, etc.
Link and Epona watched them turn off and go north, and then they continued on until they reached the town about an hour or so later.
The town was rather lively, more like a city than a town. There were various shops and an inn with a stable right to the back, with a corral alongside. The town hall was in the center of town (duh!) and it was a tall building with a brick foundation. All of the townspeople did not have the elven ears that Link had, but he didn't mind. They didn't seem to treat him any differently, and they took rupees as their currency.
Link paid for a room, and a place for Epona. Knowing that she'd rather spend the night outside, he worked that out. Link stretched out on the bed, his first decent bed in ages.
But around midnight, he woke with a start. He heard Epona's trademark whinny. He threw on some clothes and raced outside.
Some of the local delinquents and stable-hands (one or two of them easily larger and more muscle-ly than Link) were trying to poke Epona with pitchforks and broken bottles.
Link got behind them easily enough, and with one tell-tale gasp of surprise, one of the guys was out cold. The other three turned to him.
"Hey, you're the new guy. Nice little ears, fairy-boy." One of the guys said, reaching to yank on one of Link's ears.
His hand never got there. Link grabbed his wrist with one hand, braced one hand on the man's chest and lifted him over his head, dumping him on his back behind him...grunting in defeat. The other two decided that it would be a good idea to gang up on Link. One dove at him, but Link caught him in the air and threw him on top of the other one. The other swung a shovel at him. Link ducked to avoid the blow, but it just clipped his shoulder. But the guy was close enough to the fence that Epona reared up on her hind legs and clubbed him in the head.
Link rubbed his shoulder, knowing that there was going to be a bruise. He hopped the fence and lead Epona inside to her stall, waiting for her.
Epona laid down, and Link fell asleep sitting with her head in his lap.
