CHAPTER 9
Making Friends?
…..
"The time is coming very soon…. I can feel it. I will have my revenge!", squeaked Navi the fairy.
"Oh, calm down. We need to figure out how to distract him…"
"We can get some of your boys to do the job…. But listen! You better not hurt him or else."
"What's a puny little punk like you going to do about it."
"I won't help you if you do. Then your whole plan will go down the drain…"
"Our plan, you mean… I can't wait to get my hands on her."
"Ha… you already did once. And that would have never been if she hadn't got knocked out you coward."
"If I were you, I wouldn't dare say anything! I control weather or not that guy lives. Right now I have plans to slit his throat if you don't shut up you impudent fairy!"
"psh… whatever… I know you won't do it. You couldn't kill her when you had the chance. I'm going out to watch over them. You stay here."….
Hand in hand, Zelda and Link were walking through the market. They had just bought a sun hat for Zelda to wear and were on their way out. Today was going to be spent inside the town. Yes, it was fun to go to the beach and all, but there were things to do in the town also.
They were heading to the Observation tower. Link said he used to go there when he was a kid. There was an old man that kept the place. He always welcomed people into the tower. As they were turning a corner, they didn't see someone passing, so they crashed.
Zelda, Link, and the stranger, fell flat on their ass.(hehe) She looked over to see who they bumped into. Nonetheless it was the hooded man. He quickly brushed himself off and came to a standing position.
"We need to stop meeting like this", the hooded man joked. He offered his hand to Zelda. She took it gratefully. For a split second, she swore she could've seen Link with a frown on his face.
She laughed at his joke. 'well at least he has a sense of humor", she thought.
"Again, I am terribly sorry. Me and Link weren't watching where we were going ", she apologized. The man shrugged it off and started to speak again.
"No need to be sorry when I was doing the same.", said the man, then he added., "I'm sorry, I don't think I ever got your name."
"Oh, my name is Zelda, and as I said before, this is Link.", she gestured to him. The man held out his hand for a proper introduction.
"My name is Toby.", said the hooded man, who was now shaking hands with Zelda. She took it, and he turned to Link to shake hands.
"Where you from Toby?", asked Link. Toby stood silent for a moment , then responded.
"I have nowhere to call home. I find myself wandering the land.", he answered rather quickly.
"Surely, you had to have come from somewhere.", inquired Zelda.
"I have no knowledge of that. For as long as I could remember, all I did was look for somewhere that I might fit in.", he said hastily, not enjoying the questions they were asking.
"Oh, well I'm sorry… Would you like to hang out with us? I mean if your not busy.", said Zelda. She looked to Link for approval. With her surprise, he didn't look happy at all on this proposal. Setting his feelings aside, she nudged him in the side.
He winced. "Um. Yes, why don't you join us. We were just heading to the observation tower.", Link said with a fake smile.
His shadowed face showed a slight smile. "That would be wonderful, but I am afraid I must attend to my own matters. I trust we will meet... or bump into to each other again?" At that he walked between the two and went on his way.
Zelda and Link did the same. After a moment of walking in silence, Link blurted out, "Why did you invite him?"
Zelda looked at him questionably. "It was the polite thing to do.", she answered, taking his hand.
"I thought you were through with being a polite princess.", said Link, hitting her weak spot.
"Just because I'm not royalty anymore, doesn't mean I can't be well mannered to others", she replied somewhat annoyed.
"I just think he's a little weird.", said Link.
"What do you mean?", asked Zelda. By now they were entering the dark tunnel that led to the underground passageways.
"Do I need to answer that?", when he saw the look on her face, he went on, "That's the only person I've seen that wears a hood 24/7." They walked down the tunnel and into the sewage system. Zelda made a face, scrunching up her nose due to the smell of the green colored water.
"Okay so maybe he had a horrible accident or something.", she defended, then sighed, seeing as the conversation was going nowhere. "It doesn't matter anyway"
The next few minutes were spent in silence, waling towards the old man's tower. When they got there, a funny tune was playing. They walked up the spiral, rainbow staircase. Everything seemed filled with color. It was amazing. They climbed up to the landing to find an old man peering into a telescope so big that it came out of the roof.
The man slowly turned around to see his visitors. "Why hello, young ones. I don't usually see many kids your age come here.", he greeted. "Won't you come take a look?" He gestured to the telescope.
"But isn't it daytime? You wouldn't be able to see anything.", said Zelda.
"Oh, yes you can miss. You can see the moon. At certain times of the year it is visible during the day. Go ahead. Look!" Zelda took two cautious steps up to the platform, and gazed into the telescope.
She gasped at what she saw. It couldn't be the moon. There was a face on it! It wasn't just a face, it was scary too.
"What's with the scary moon? It not normally like that.", exclaimed Zelda. She starred at it, then rubbed her eyes and looked again to see if she was imagining this.
"Well in Termina it is.", answered the man. "The moon faces a certain way here. Only in Termina can you see the face of the moon." The explanation seemed to do justice.
Zelda walked away from the telescope and decided to observe the room. It looked like it would take eternity to see every gizmo, and trinket in the large room.
She went over to a shelf that held a fairly large, baby blue jewel. The shape of it was rather odd, but she was more fixed on the color. It sort of gave off a glow. "What's this?". she asked in awe of the object.
"It is called the tears of the moon. A few years ago we had an attack from a skull kid wearing a strange mask. He threatened to take the moon down and blow Termina to bits. A brave boy clad in green came to save our town. Well he did just that, but when the skull kid had the moon in his possession, the moon was very close to Termina, and every now and then one of these stones would fall to the earth.", he said, then added when he saw the weird looks on their faces, "We don't know what happened to that boy, he just seemed to disappear. Strangely, though, no one seems to recollect on the event so many years ago, except for me." Link was now by Zelda's side. The look on his face was priceless. He obviously did not believe this man's story.
"interesting.", was all Zelda could say. She shrugged it off and resumed to gazing at his other "toys". She stopped abruptly when she spotted something that caught her eye. It was a small, green hat. She remembered seeing a bigger version of that hat somewhere. It was in Link's house she saw that. It was hanging on a hook in the far corner.
She reached to go pick it up. The second her hand touched the fabric of the hat, she started to feel dizzy. Everything went swirling around, until she feel to the floor.
Again she found herself in the strange woods. It was not like she was there though. She wasn't able to move about or do what she wanted. A flash of an image stood in front of her.
It was a ten year old version of her. She was standing in front of someone. Her eyes held a forlorn look in them. "I know we haven't known each other very long, but I feel that we've been friends forever. Here, I want you to have this to remember me by."
She reached in her pocket dress to pull out something. Then, as before, everything went black.
"No! What was I pulling out? Go back!", she yelled. For a few moments, she was walking around in circles in darkness.. Soon she started to see a bright light. It got so close she was blinded by it.
Zelda opened her eyes. She was on the floor looking up at them. Quickly she sat up, wanting to tell Link what she just saw. Before she could say anything, Link spoke.
"Zel, I think you need to go to a doctor for this.", he stated.
"No, Link, I'm fine.", she said hesitantly. She wanted to know what this was. She wanted to know what she was going to pull out of her pocket.
"It's not normal to have fainting spells.", said worried Link. He helped off the floor.
"This isn't just fainting spells, Link", she argued. "I'm seeing something that might be important. I need to find out what it means."
"What did you see this time?", he asked. The old man was still there watching their conversation. She started feeling uncomfortable.
"Excuse me, could we have a moment?", she asked the old man. He gave a fake smile and went down stairs mumbling of how young ones are so disrespectful.
"Okay…. Anyway, I saw me, but I was only ten. I was standing in front of someone and I couldn't see them. Then I said something like ' I feel like I've known you so long. Take this to remember me by' .I was pulling out something, but I didn't get to see it. It ended there.", she finished.
Link sighed. "You can't just go around fainting all the time, Zel", he said. He was worried about her.
"Link, I'm fine aren't I? I need to know what happens next. Ugh… if only I could control it.", she wined. She looked back down at the hat, remembering it was still there. "Oh, by the way, does that look familiar to you?"
Link looked down at the hat and picked it up to observe it. "Yeah actually. It's a Kokiri hat. I don't know how it would end up here though.", he said confused.. Link shook it off and put the hat back down. "Com'n, I think you need some fresh air.
Link and Zelda had walked back to the inn. Once there Zelda felt hungry for dinner. She offered that she go to the bakery for some pastries to eat. Since it wasn't near to being dark yet, Link let her walk on her own.
Zelda walked into the small store, and went in line to buy something. Out of the corner of her eye she saw something flash. Like a bright light, but she shrugged it off thinking her eyes were just playing tricks on her.
For what seemed like forever she was on line. "Goddesses , what's taking so long!", she complained to herself.
"I myself have been wondering that.", said a man behind her. She looked to see who it was.
"Oh, why hello Toby.", she greeted. "Nice seeing you again."
"Nice seeing you too, miss.", he replied. Still, as always he had the hood on. It made her somewhat uncomfortable to not be able to see the face of someone she was talking to.
"Please. Call me Zelda.", she insisted. Then a thought pooped into her mind. "Toby, won't you eat lunch with me and Link tomorrow?"
"I would love to, if that isn't much of an inconvenience.", he said. His voice had a sort of happy tone to it.
"No not at all.", reassured Zelda. "Won't you meet us at the tavern at noon?"
"I will certainly."
Zelda felt a light tapping on her shoulder. "Miss, miss, what will you be ordering?"…
After Zelda and Link had finished there dinner, Zelda had come up with the idea of going back to their secret forest.
"I don't know, Zel. Will you be alright walking there?", he asked. Still he was worried if she might faint again.
"I'll be fine.", she replied as they walked down the path to the forest.
When they got there, she was again relieved of all stress. Without thinking, she started spinning around as fast as she could. She felt like a child. Faster and faster she spun. Everything was a blur. She couldn't even make out Link anymore.
She laughed hysterically. She was having so much fun. She felt a tug by her waist and suddenly she was stopped. The whole world seemed to still be spinning. Link had caught her. He was laughing as well.
"What the heck are you doing?", he asked with amusement in his eyes.
"Having fun", she giggled.
He mocked a hurt look. "Without me?" He held a hand next to his heart.
She laughed. "Of course not. Come on and join me!" She garbed his hands and started twirling around. He went along with the game.
They got to full speed. All she could see clear was him. Her arms were stretched out and holding on to his hands. "Why are we doing this?", he yelled to her, trying not to laugh.
"Trying to gain my childhood back!", she yelled back to him.
"I'm getting dizzy!"
"Don't let go!", she warned him.
"Hmmm…. Let me think about that…. I think I will, Zel!" She could feel his hands slowly slipping from hers.
"Link no! if you do I'll…." She went flying back towards the ground. She looked up to see the sky moving. She slowly got up and wobbled over to Link. Attempting to walk in a strait line.
Link had also got up. He was coming closer. He looked so funny walking that way. Before she knew it, she had crashed into him. Together they fell to the ground laughing.
Link had fell on top of her. She was now, dizzy, squashed, and pinned to the ground. "Link, got off me!", she giggled.
"How do you like it?", he retorted jokingly. She smiled up at him.
"I can deal with it guess.", she said with a sly smile. Without warning she took her hand behind his head and pulled his lips to hers.
