Well, I have received reviews and I love it. Thanks a ton to anyone who did. It helps motivate me.
I have received a new request also. I have been asked to do a one-shot about Malon. Normally I would be happy to post right away, however, I am currently writing another story containing Malon. Now let me explain. I already have the perfect plan all set out for the Malon one-shot but I want to have my story have it happen first. As soon as I post this on my other story, I'll get the one-shot up. Promise. It contains the same events and all.
Now, I have another story for you anyway.
This one's going to be done about Navi. I wanted to somehow get rid of (or lessen) the stereotype that Navi was just an annoying fairy. (Yeah, I know she really was annoying all through the game.) But, I mean, Link must have liked something about her, otherwise she wouldn't have stayed alive for very long. So, here I am, trying to make Navi look good.
Character- Navi
Setting- After several days of traveling, Navi finally puts her foot down to stop her master and friend from driving himself to the brink of exhaustion.
More then a Guide.
I fly out from the warmth of my hat…
Well, it's his hat really.
But I'm the one who has to live in it.
And have you any idea how hard it is when he never stops moving.
Never.
.
Actually… Hold on.
He did stop to talk to someone a little while ago.
For five minutes.
I don't know how he can keep this up.
.
We've been on the go for about… four days now?
I can't really remember.
That's how bad it is.
No sleep.
No food.
Just water…
And we're lucky if we stop for that.
.
I look up.
It's getting dark again.
The sun is just setting and our long shadows stretch far.
The sky is a deep orange mixed with violet.
It's getting dark fast.
.
"Link." I say, "Maybe we should-"
.
"No." He interrupts.
.
"You didn't even know what I was going to say." I tell him.
.
"Yes I do." He says.
There's no expression in his voice.
There hasn't been since he woke up here.
Since he found out about…
"You were going to tell me to stop again."
.
"I was not." I lie. "I was going to say… Going to say… that you should… talk."
Well.
I don't think I could have gotten a worse excuse.
I see him raise his eyebrows.
I sigh.
"Fine. I think you should stop… Now."
.
He gives me a small smile of triumph.
Then,
"No."
He keeps walking.
.
I roll my eyes.
"Link. It's been four days. You haven't eaten anything. You haven't slept an hour since we got here. I can't even remember the last time you stopped to go to the bathroom. You need to stop now."
I don't think he listened to me.
This isn't good for him.
All this stress.
I was assigned to look out for him.
But what good am I doing if he won't listen.
.
He keeps walking.
He ignored me…
Again.
This has gone on long enough.
.
I zoom down to the grassy floor.
I sit amongst the tall, dark blades.
"Link." I say firmly, "I'm not moving anywhere until you sit down and eat something."
.
He turns and looks down at me.
His eyes are cold.
"Navi," He says, just as firmly, "I can't stop. Not now. Not tomorrow. Not ever… Well, at least not until this is over."
He stands still for a little bit.
"Are you coming or what?" He asks.
.
"I already told you what I'm doing. And if that means that you walk off without me, fine. I'm doing my job Link." I tell him.
.
"Your job is to help me." He says.
His voice is louder.
I think he's getting annoyed.
.
"My job, Link, is to look out for you. Not to follow you around while you're being stupid and refusing all my advice."
I stare at him.
He looks only slightly put off by this.
"I'm telling you to stay here for the night. I'm following my advice, and if you don't want to listen to me that's fine. I know that I'm right Link. I know that you need a rest."
I pause for dramatic effect.
"Look at yourself. You look awful."
.
He shakes his head slowly.
He still looks at me with his cold eyes.
.
"Do you honestly think that you stand a chance against Ganondorf when you're in this kind of state?" I ask. "You can hardly stand straight."
.
His eyes change suddenly.
They're not cold anymore.
They look deep in thought.
"But…" He says, "But Sheik said that time was short. I have to keep moving."
.
"Sheik can get stuffed. And if he thinks that you should keep going, I'd like to see him out here doing this."
I sound angry.
It's not that I don't like Sheik.
It's just…
"You're only mortal, Link. You can only do so much. If you keep going like this, you'll kill yourself. Then what would Sheik do, huh?"
.
He sighs.
"You win."
He sits down beside me.
He reaches into his pack.
He draws out a small loaf of bread.
"This is all I got. If I eat it, will you be happy?"
He waves the pastry around in the air.
.
It is very small.
But… It's better then nothing.
"Yes." I say.
.
He begins to eat.
Every bite he takes makes me happier.
I'm glad he finally saw some sense.
.
He pace quickens.
He finishes the bread.
His stomach growls .
"Good thing we're on our way to the ranch, huh?" He says, half laughing. "Then I bet that Malon girl will have something for us to eat… a good five course meal, I bet."
.
He moves around a bit.
My heart beat doubles.
Is he getting up again?
No.
I breathe easy.
.
He lies down on his side.
He closes his eyes.
"Navi?" He asks.
.
"Yes." I say.
.
"You're right again. I do need a nap."
I laugh.
"The ranch can wait until morning." He says.
.
I sigh.
I lay down.
I need a good sleep too.
I close my eyes.
A light breeze passes over us.
.
"What would I do with out you here, Navi?"
.
"You'd still be walking, I can tell you that. You'd probably be lost too, now that I think about it. Without a guide, sorry to say, you'd be pretty useless." I tell him.
I try not to laugh.
.
"Nah." He says sleepily, "You're more then just my guide Navi… You're my friend. One of the last ones I have. And you'll be here with me through thick and thin."
.
I smile.
That's right.
Just like you'll always be there with me.
Well, I kinda like it. I wanted to get her personality the same as a friend's would be if their friend was in trouble. I think I got it down.
Alright. About the story I was talking about, I have no idea how long it'll be before I get that posted. Maybe in the summer sometime. But I'll let you know if anything changes. Just don't start looking forward to it now, it's still being brainstormed.
Anyway, thanks for reading. Remember, I already have Malon down and it'll be posted soon. Until then, review.
