Chapter 7: Part of the Past
The night passed quickly and busily as the king of Hyrule sent soldiers all across Hyrule. It seemed to pass slowly for Green who had to wake up from her sleep at four in the morning. She quickly jumped from her bed as a servant knocked on her door. The servant told her to be in the throne room by five o' clock. Green nodded. It was going to be a long day, but all she wanted to do was sleep in her comfortable bed, and now that was not a problem.
Almost every night she would have a nightmare, and they usually were the same thing, or at least the same person. The young man in green was who she usually saw, or sometimes things that never really happened to her. Times where she had to live on the streets and survive by stealing because her house had burnt down, but that had never happened. She could remember her past clearly; her guardian Meysh had passed away when she was only six, and when she was ten, her house was taken over by the Madanians. Soon, she began living on the streets. For a year and a half, she spent time stealing only to survive. She was the fastest thief on the streets, but it was not anything she was proud of and always tried to keep it away from others trying to forget her past. She had finally forced herself to move all the way across the plains to Kokiri Forest to live. Now that everything seemed to be fine, the Madanians had camped not too far away. Yet, everything seemed to be in a blur at this hour.
She realized there wasn't any pain in her abdomen or her shoulder so she undid the bloodstained bandages. She was completely shocked to see her wounds healed, and no mark could be seen from the injuries. She breathed a sigh of relief. She picked up the clothes she found on a desk and changed into them. The clothes were a moss green tunic. The sleeves went up to her elbow and had a slit just below the shoulder- like a sleeveless- about three inches until it continued again. The tunic reached to her knees, but there were slits on both sides. She wore black pants and shoes, and had pulled her hair up into a high ponytail, but still allowing her bangs to fall over her blue eyes.
Green quickly washed up, still hoping for breakfast. She began walking towards the door, but noticed something on the desk. She turned around and realized there was a necklace/choker lying there in a heap. An emerald pendant dangled on a black ribbon. She grinned and clasped the choker around her neck. She quickly ran out of her room, and surprisingly found her way into the throne room. She was shocked to see so many soldiers packed into the room. The king was standing next to his throne, talking to the two Sheikah warriors. Other then them, she could not spot anyone in familiar. She walked to an unoccupied corner, leaned against the wall, and crossed her arms over her chest.
A few minutes past as she stood there, eyeing her surroundings. It was crowded, and many soldiers seemed to be called away as they departed from their groups, and leaving the throne room. She quickly turned her head on instinct when a flash of green passed by, but only sighed in disappointment when she realized it was Sir Link passing by. His expression showed him to look a bit bothered, but Green only ignored it and turned her attention to a young soldier approaching her. His helmet was still on so she couldn't recognize who it was, but when he spoke to her, she thought it seemed familiar.
Green raised an eyebrow in confusion, having no idea what message the soldier was giving her in those muffled words. She heard him laugh as he took off his helmet, revealing a light brown-haired boy with light green eyes. The face was familiar to her, but she could not remember anyone.
"Hey, Green. Are you feeling any better?" the soldier asked.
Green only nodded.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Kamen. I found you in one of the back alleyways. It was a good thing I found you when I did or…well…" he said as he leaned on the wall next to her.
She finished for him, "I would have been dead…"
"Err…you really do not mind talking about things like that…"
"Death? I have gone through too much in my life to watch what I talk about."
"You must have had a hard life…"
"I suppose…I mean, I have never met my parents. My guardian died when I was six, and when I was ten my house was ambushed by Madanians. I lived on the streets for a year and a half as a thief. It was the only way to survive. I suppose I did have a hard life…"
"I'm sorry." Kamen said as he gazed off into the crowds, his brown hair falling over his eyes.
Green nodded sadly, "How did you end up becoming a soldier?"
He sighed then glanced her direction, "My parents were killed in an ambush by the Madanians in their home village. I joined the army to…well, I don't know…"
"For revenge?" she asked a bit perplexed in how such a kind person would come to that conclusion.
"I'm not sure. I guess I just did it for them."
Green smiled sympathetically, "How long have you been a soldier?"
"It will be about two years, now. It hasn't been that long."
They both sighed sadly. The throne room was emptying as the soldiers went into ranks and exited through the doors. The last group was leaving, now, to Lake Hylia and the Kokiri Forest.
"Well, I'm next…" Kamen said as he straightened up.
"Where are you going?" she asked sadly, actually hoping she would have company a bit longer.
"I will be heading to Gerudo Valley with Sir- I mean General Link." He said with a grin.
"Oh…" she said sadly and stared down at the carpeting.
"What do you mean, 'oh'?" he asked as he raised an eyebrow and placed a hand on her shoulder, "I am coming with you."
Green quickly raise her head and turned to him, "What? I thought I was going to Kakariko Village."
"No. They thought it was best if you went with Link to Gerudo Valley."
"What?" she exclaimed a bit annoyed, "How could they do that? I-"
She was cut off when Kamen spoke up as he brought his forehead against hers, "It's alright, Green. You'll be back in the village in a few days."
Green smiled as Kamen backed away, blushing just a bit. She looked the other direction to see the king and Impa walking towards them.
"Don't be shy…" she heard Kamen whisper in her ear.
"Green, I am glad you are well, again." King Nohansen began as he stood a few feet away with Impa next to him, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Green replied as she bowed her head.
"I hope you are not disappointed about these arrangements."
"No, Your Highness. I just thought I would be going with them because of their plans."
"Ah, yes. We need your help on that, but I am afraid it is too dangerous for the time being. Once you reach there, you will hide in the Shadow Temple with the rest of the village. Meanwhile, can you tell us what you know about their plans?"
"Well, I do know that they will be coming down Death Mountain through the forest. The only way that can work is by going through the Lost Woods, which ends through Goron City."
"Then the Gorons must be in danger." Kamen said from behind me.
"No," Impa began, "They can protect themselves. They are immune to heat and have skin as rough as rock, but we still need to block them off."
"Have the troops to Kakariko left already?" Green asked a bit worriedly.
"Half of them, yes, but the rest will be leaving with General Klein. You, Sir Link, Kamen, and a three other soldiers will be going to Gerudo Valley."
"When do we leave, Your Highness?"
"In about fifteen minutes. You and Kamen should meet with the rest of your group at the front of the castle."
Green nodded and bowed then walked away. She left the throne room, but waited for Kamen. She heard the sound of metal clanking and turned around.
"Nice for the first time talking to the king." Kamen commented as he walked side to side with Green.
"Thanks…" she said a bit shyly and looked the other way.
A few minutes past as they walked through the hallways in silence. It was still dark outside so the corridors were dimly lit with candles and the corners were only in shadows. The only sound heard throughout was the clanking of metal as Kamen walked and the soft pitter-patter of Green's footsteps, but for a second it felt as though someone was behind them. Green glanced behind her, but only saw shadows. She shook her head in confusion then continued walking. She glimpsed over to Kamen; he was staring at the floor as it passed by as if in deep thought. For a moment, crimson eyes past through her mind. Did she know anyone with those color eyes? She couldn't push them from her mind. She felt chill run up her spine and looked up. They finally had reached the door that led to the front of the castle. Green looked up at the fading stars as she crossed her arms over her chest to keep warm. She could hear the sound of horses neighing and soldiers talking. It took only a few minutes to reach a small group of about three soldiers talking in a cluster with a knight in green talking to them.
Green stopped in her tracks, hoping she didn't have to converse with them. She was too tired and confused to care. She felt a hand take hers and guide her towards the soldiers. She groaned. She didn't want to meet them, but only wanted to go home. Kamen let go of her hand and walked beside her. The soldiers stopped talking as they realized who was coming by.
"Guys," Kamen said, "I want you to meet Green."
The soldiers turned around to face them, including the young general.
"Hi…" Green said sheepishly.
They all greeted her, but one may have been the romantic type. He bowed down, his dark, black hair falling over his eyes, but she could still see them clearly. They were green that seemed to sparkle in the moonlight, and she recognized them immediately. They were the same she had seen only more than three years ago; they were of the same boy whom she had run into not so long ago. She was already angry, but when the young soldier looked up, it felt as though she was still in the market, still living on the streets, still blaming the Madanians for ruining her entire life. She was brought out of her reverie when Kamen placed a hand on her shoulder and turned her to the boy clad in green. He seemed deep in thought, but turned to face Green. She smiled as Kamen introduced everyone.
A soldier with light brown hair with bits of red and brown eyes stepped up. Kamen introduced him as Yuko. The soldier beside him had blonde hair and hazel blue eyes, and his name was Katsuto. The soldier that was next to him was the one with the black hair and green eyes. His name was Ichiro. Green couldn't move to even look over to the general. Green felt a hand on her shoulder, realizing it was Kamen she glanced towards him. He motioned her towards the young knight and she stepped forward.
"Green, I want you to meet Sir- I mean, General Link…" Kamen introduced with a slight grin. Green nodded then bowed with as much respect as possible.
"Well, Green. If you need anything during this journey, just come to us and we'll do what we can." Link said, trying to suppress a smile. What was he to do? Life was not easy for him anymore. He had only joined the Hylian army to fight for his kingdom, but taking away lives was not easy. Almost every night he would have nightmares reminding him of all those faces. He could never get them out of his mind, but now that Green had come into his life again everything was changing, but was it for the better or for the worse?
Green glimpsed up into his face, and their gazes locked. For a second, it was as though she had seen him somewhere before. As though she had seen those same eyes and hair and clothes since they looked Kokiri. The moment passed, and she dismissed the fact. She nodded and tried to smile, but only seemed hurt. Link's eyes clouded and he looked the other way. Kamen jumped in and showed Green the horse she was to be riding, a black mare named Evonn, in the stables not too far away. She petted its neck and it neighed.
"I think he likes you…" Kamen alleged and Green chuckled.
A few minutes past until she heard the sound of footsteps and turned around on instinct. It was Ichiro. He said something to Kamen and he turned around, "I'm sorry, Green. But it seems I'm needed for something. Meet me and the rest of us back in front in ten minutes." He seemed to have said this to the both of them then ran past Ichiro and left the stables.
After the soldier was out of sight, she turned toward the black-haired boy and only stared at him with almost pure hatred.
"…And you said we would never see each other again…" he began with a smirk.
Green scowled, "What do you want? You practically had me killed…"
"How's that?" Ichiro said as he leaned against the stable walls, crossing his arms over his chest.
"You already know…" Green retorted as she stepped forward.
"You have grown in the last few years. I am surprised you haven't stolen anything in the castle yet…"
"What does that mean?"
"I think it is clear with your past life of thievery."
"I'm over that…"
Ichiro raised an eyebrow, "How did the king take it when you told him."
"Tell him what?"
"What do you think?"
"Just leave me alone. I don't want anything to do with you."
Ichiro ignored her and continued with a smirk, "You told me you would pay me back the next time we met."
"I never thought it would happen…" Green mumbled, as she looked the other way.
"Well, it happened. Didn't it?"
"Well, what do you want from me?" she said louder as she neared him with clenched fists.
"What are you willing to give up? After all, you ruined many businesses by stealing their imports from around the country. I'm sure there is something you can give up…something valuable." By this time, Ichiro had gotten up from his position from the wall and had slowly inched towards Green.
"I don't have anything valuable. Why do you think I had to steal? Did you actually think it was for fun?"
"Everyone has something to treasure."
"What? A picture? What would that do?" Green grimaced as she stepped forward in anger.
"I think you have something more valuable then that." Ichiro said with a grin.
"What, this necklace?" she said, gesturing towards the choker with the green pendant, "It's not even mine…"
She began to remove it, but stopped when she realized Ichiro had gotten closer. They were probably only a foot away from each other. Her hands went back to her side, as she looked up. The young soldier was probably half a foot taller then her, yet only two years older, as old as Kamen. She glared at him, but he stood still, unmoving.
"What do you want, then?" Green asked, still angry, as she backed up.
"I think you know…" After he said this, he turned around and walked away, leaving Green in the stables. She wondered what he wanted; it was something valuable. She thought for a few seconds when it finally came to her. She gasped. How could he know?
