Chapter Five- The Bard and the Rogue

"Allo, gentlemen and ladies!" A girl yelled above a group of patrons. She jumped onto a small make shift stage at the front of the local tavern. "How are ye all doing tonight?" There was a loud cheer among the crowd.

"Play us a song!" The bar tender yelled.

"Ok, ok! Hold your horses guys!" The girl brought out a Lute, she stuck a few notes. Then tuned each string, the crowd was quiet. She struck a cord, a loud cheer was heard, "I guess ye all can see what I'm about to play." She kept playing the lute, then started to sing.

They came for him one winter's night.

Arrested, he was bound.

They said there'd been a robbery,

his dagger had been found.

They marched him to the station house,

he waited for the dawn.

And as they led him to the dock,

he knew that he'd been wronged.

"You stand accused of robbery,"

he heard the bailiff say.

He knew without an alibi,

tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.

Over the hills and far away,

for ten long years he'll count the days.

Over the mountains and the seas,

a prisoner's life for him there'll be.

He knew that it would cost him dear,

but yet he dare not say.

Where he had been that fateful night,

a secret it must stay.

He had to fight back tears of rage.

His heart beat like a drum.

For with the wife of his best friend,

he spent his final night of freedom.

Over the hills and far away,

he swears he will return one day.

Far from the mountains and the seas,

back in her arms he swears he'll be.

Over the hills and far away.

Over the hills and,

over the hills and,

over the hills and far away.

Each night within his prison cell,

he looks out through the bars.

He reads the letters that she wrote.

One day he'll know the taste of freedom.

Over the hills and far away,

she prays he will return one day.

As sure as the rivers reach the seas,

back in his arms he swears she'll be.

Over the hills and far away,

he swears he will return one day.

Far from the mountains and the seas,

back in her arms he swears he'll be.

Over the hills and far away,

she prays he will return one day.

As sure as the rivers reach the seas,

back in his arms is where she'll be.

Over the hills,

over the hills and far away.

Over the hills,

over the hills and far away. (A/N: Song made by Nightwish, song is called Over the Hills and Far Away. I do not own Nightwish)

"Can any of ye tell me what song I just song? Come on, it's only your lots favorite!" The bard yelled over the clapping and whistling taking place. "I guess it's time for lil old me to get going." The crowd became quiet, "don't worry! I'll be back tomorrow afternoon!" Everyone started cheering. The girl jumped down and walked through the crowd.

She stuck out of the crowd, as she walked by. Any crowd she probably would stick out. If her bright red shirt and orange vest or orange shorts didn't get your attention. Maybe the bright yellow and red striped leggings she wore with her knee high black boots. For Hyrule standards she was a generation ahead of everyone. Just how she wore her black hair aroused some questions. She kept all her hair in one pony tail on the side of her head. Her black eyes always seemed cheerful, she always had a smile on her face. The girl had no trouble telling the world who she was, simply to modern for everyone.

The girl made way to the back corner, where a boy near her age sat on the window sill. He just stared out of the dirty window. The girl stepped on a squeaky floor board, this caused the boy to turn his head. His green eyes focused on the girl, a few long strands of red hair fell on his face. He simply brushed them back, his hair was in a loose pony tail. He stood up, he towered over the bard by a few feet to spare. He wore a simple commoner's outfit, black pants with boots and a puffy white shirt. He grinned at the bard.

"What have ye been up to Nicholas?" The girl questioned him. Nick held up a pearl necklace, "who did ye pick pocket that off of?" He pointed to a very fat lady, wearing a fancy gown and several pearl necklaces around her neck. "I guess she won't be missing this anytime soon.. Is it safe to sit in this stool, or is there a trap set up?" Nick shook his head, "ye know rogue.. Ye can actually talk, it will get ye more friends!"

Nick shrugged his shoulders, "I never talk much..." The tavern became quiet, as all eyes were on young Nick. Everyone looked shocked or amazed.

"Is it that surprising he actually talks?" The bard asked the crowd. All of them gave a slight nod, "lets go somewhere else!" She took Nick's hand and directed him out of the tavern. The two youngsters walked through the market place of Kakariko. People tipped there hats at the young bard as the two passed. She was very well known in the village.

"Andrya, can you please let go of my hand?" Nick asked. Andrya let go of it, "thank you." The two walked to the huge oak tree by the village entrance. Nick jumped on the trunk and made his way to a huge limb closest to the ground. He stretched out and relaxed. Andrya sat underneath him, getting out some papers and a quill. "So what's your book going to be on?" Nick started whistling to himself.

"I'm not sure, this place is so boring. I need to be somewhere else!"

"Remember not to forget about me.."

"It's hard not too, ye need to speak more."

"I'm happy with my life, I'm not a good people person. Rather stay out of the public eye."

"Ye know, by not talking to everyone. Ye more famous and talked around the village then I am. Everyone knows ye the boy that never talks. I don't see why, ye can't shut up at times..."

"Heh," Nick slouched more and fell asleep.

"Now Aurora, be on your best behavior. Remember to stay right beside me when we enter. I don't want any nobles well, talking to us..." Malon grabbed the eager Aurora by the hand. They walked up the small stair case and entered the village. Malon bumped into a woman going towards the exit and started talking to one another. Aurora grew bored after ten minutes, she looked over to the tree. There she saw Andrya, scribbling notes done with a quill. Aurora was curious, why did she dress like that? She wondered over to Andrya and just stared.

Andrya looked up from her notes, her eyes grew wide. It's her! "Ye know it's rude to stare, girly?"

Aurora backed up a few steps, "sorry.."

"Will ye speak up? I can barely hear you!"

"Sorry.."

"Are you scared of me or something?" Aurora nodded. Andrya started laughing, "kid, ye crack me up!" Aurora looked puzzled. Andrya stopped laughing, "what's ye name anyways?"

"Aurora," she started backing off a bit.

"Allo Aurora, I am Andrya the Bard. Better known as Andy! What brings ye to this boring dump?"

"Going shopping with my mother," Aurora pointed to Malon. Andrya's jaw dropped.

"Ye mean! Ye the daughter of the Hero! This is amazing! Nicholas!" Andrya shouted. Nick woke up startled and fell off the limb. He crashed on the ground and made a quick recovery. "She's the daughter of the Hero! Say hi to her Nick!" Andrya pushed him in front of Aurora. Nick said nothing, "say something!" Nick walked towards the tree. "Damn ye rogue! Oh! Sorry, Nick is shy, very shy. Can I ask ye some questions?"

Aurora tilted her head, "I guess?"

Andy got her paper and quill ready. "How old are ye? Are ye gonna become a hero like ye father? Are ye going to love a prince or something?"
"I'm six, I'm not allowed to become a hero and what's love? Why are you asking me these questions?"

Andrya scribbled down the notes, "you'll become a hero! It's in ye blood! I shall be there to record every adventure ye go on! And make me rich! Ye the best thing to happen to me in awhile!" Andrya noticed Aurora's odd colored eyes. "Wait are you that girl from the mark..."

"Well well, isn't it the freak fest! Look at that! You have a new freak among you!" A boy said, he had dirty clothes on, his blonde hair didn't seem to be washed in weeks. "I can't believe me own eyes! It's the freak gal from the market place! I hear so much gossip about you! So you join quiet boy and bard gal! Heh, match made in heaven I say."

"Tom, I pity ye. If I had a spare life to give ye, I'd give it to ye. Get a life already, who needs to harass people younger then them to feel big?"

Aurora backed up, "where's quiet boy?"

Nick tapped him on his back, "behind you!" Tom turned around, Nick punched him in the cheek. "Don't refer to my friends like that, scum.."

Tom looked scared, "he.. talked! What the?" Tom started to back up, he took off running.

"Nick, leave him be, ye scared him."

"I've wanted to do this for a long time!" Nick grinned as he took off running. Aurora looked in shock at the speedy boy. He ran faster then her own dad, and he was fast. In no time he hurled himself onto Tom. Tom crashed into the ground, Nick flipped him and sat on his stomach. "Look who's scared now! You'll never insult any of my friends again, punk!" Nick rammed his fist into Tom's nose, a crack was followed. As Tom whined in pain, Nick got off of him and walked over to the oak tree.

"Nick, sometimes ye surprise me... Now will talk to Aurora?"

Nick held his hand out to Aurora, "hey. The name is Nicholas." Aurora slowly put her hand out, it was trembling. It was so uncalled for that people would act this kind towards her. They shook hands, Nicholas got up on his favorite tree branch. He just stared at the village, and the crowd that was gathering around Tom.

"Aurora, be happy. When Nick says hey, he means he likes you. I like ye too, ye a good kid. Don't worry about what Tom says, just a bunch of hot air that lad. I guess this makes ye one of us, the outcasts of Kakariko."

"Outcasts?"

"Ye all know that people separate people by rankings. Happens that Nick and I, are at the bottom. We're consider outcasts since were different. Nick never talks, only to people he likes and I dress and act to weird. If you're the girl from the market place I've heard about.. Then ye not new to the concept of alienation."

"A-lienation?" Aurora questioned.

"Means people ignore us for being different, leave us out. Sorry for using big words kid. May I ask, are ye the girl who I've heard about."

"Everyone has heard about me..."

Andy put an arm around Aurora, "don't worry Aurora. I believe none of that junk, those nobles say. "They take one thing different and... Turn it into something alien." Andrya got out her lute, and struck some cords. "Ah, out of tune!" Aurora looked at the weird string instrument. "Aw, my little lute got ye eye missy? Isn't it beautiful! Took me three years of singing to save up for it!" Aurora nodded. "Try this," Andrya brought out a flute from a leather case, in her pouch. "Here, this is quite old. I got a new one anyhow."

Aurora took the flute and blew into it. Barely any sound came from it, Andrya laughed. "Takes awhile to get any good at it, so ye don't worry. This is how ye hold it!" Andrya instructed Aurora.

"Aurora, time to go!" Malon called, the little girl ran over.

"I had so much fun! I don't want to go home..." Aurora whined, looking back at the sleeping Nick and day dreaming Andrya.

"Aurora, you've been there all day. We can come back tomorrow, promise." Malon smiled, she finally fits in somewhere...

Aurora took Malon's hand and skipped out of the village. Andrya got up, "come on, Nick. Ye want to go to home, and see the sun set?"

"Sure..." Nick jumped off the tree limb. The two walked towards the village's proud windmill.

Andrya looked at the sunset, "Nick."

"Ya?"

"Will ye promise something, that ye will finish my book. If I ever get taken by the grim reaper?"

"Ya, I will."

"Good." The two looked at the sunset from windmill.
