I received a new request. (A few actually, but I'm taking them one at a time.) I had a really great idea as soon as I read the name of the person. It's going to be different, I can tell you that. Well… here you go.
Character- Nabooru
Setting- After having enough of her King's acquired attitude, Nabooru leaves to go to the one place she still feels peace… The Spirit Temple.
.
Whispered Words.
.
I hate him.
With all that's left of my heart, I do.
How can one man change so much?
I hate him.
.
It's amazing how much power can corrupt people…
Even great Kings.
He used to have all my respect.
But now…
No.
.
How many times was I forced against my will to do something.
I didn't want too.
Not at all.
He's given the Gerudo a bad name.
A name we had fought for so long to clean.
And now…
We are thought of as thieves again.
.
That is what we are now.
Thieves.
We would not have reverted back if…
If our King had kept his promise.
.
At first, this was all just to give us better living conditions.
The drought was worsening,
And we had no food.
We could not survive.
Our King…
He wanted a better life.
He when to Hyrule's King for aid.
.
He was denied.
.
And so…
We took it by force.
Just to get us somewhere to live…
At first…
But power corrupts.
And it took hold of our King.
.
He abandoned us.
Just for a larger bit of land…
Just for Power.
And we were left to become what we always were…
Thieves.
.
I hate him.
Two-faced…
Traitor…
Liar…
I hate him.
.
I walk through the sandy winds.
I know that they'll stop soon.
I'm almost there.
.
Sand blasts in my eyes.
They sting.
I lift up my cover.
I cover my eyes.
I walk blind through the storm.
.
No one but I has ever managed to cross this desert.
And arrive at this exact place.
It is where the Goddesses touch the earth.
I am at peace there.
.
The sand stops.
I look back.
It is a solid wall that just halts.
As if an invisible barrier was there.
I look forward.
Blue skies stretch across.
The sun streams down.
The great Goddess of Sand sit in front of me.
.
I am at peace here.
I walk to the huge stone steps.
I make my way up them.
The hot sun warms me.
All my troubles seem to melt.
.
I walk through the gateway.
The cool air inside the Temple is comforting.
I sit on the cold floor.
I dust all the sand off myself.
I run my fingers through my hair.
Grits of sand stick to my hand.
I shake them off.
They scatter on the flat stone floor.
.
I close my eyes.
I prepare for what I know I must do.
I came for a reason.
I need the silver gauntlets.
I came to get them.
And I know where they are.
.
With those gloves…
I will be more powerful than the evil King himself.
Then I will get rid of him…
Dispose of him…
Like he did to us.
Like he did to me.
I will show him that I am not just a Gerudo…
But his life's end.
.
That is what I'm here for.
.
I get up from my relaxation.
I walk up the stone steps in the middle of the room.
I turn left…
Just as I remembered from when I came here as a child.
That is the way to the gauntlets.
But…
.
There is a small hole in the wall.
Too small.
I was small enough at one time to fit in.
But I was seasons younger.
And now…
Now my plan has failed.
.
Could I not have seen this?
I have come so far…
Prepared so much…
Prayed so much…
And now…
A wall stops me.
.
I HATE HIM.
Why can he not be beaten?
Why can I not cause him pain?
Why am I not small enough to fit in that damned hole.
.
Tears of frustration leak down my cheeks.
I wipe them away.
I pull myself together.
…
I just have to get a new plan.
.
I turn to head for the entrance.
But…
A silhouette is outlined in it already.
Could it be that Ganondorf has heard word of this already?
And how did they find this place?
I watch the silhouette as it draws nearer.
It enters the Temple.
It is a child.
Short...
Small…
Slightly spindly…
Perfect.
.
The child spots me and walks over.
I eye him carefully.
He could be a spy…
But he looks normal enough.
.
He stops just in front of me.
He pushes his messy, blond hair out of his eyes.
He looks at me coldly.
"Can you move please? I'd like to get through." He says.
.
I smile slightly.
"Maybe we can both help each other kid." I say, "I'll move if you do me a favour."
.
He looks me over suspiciously.
"What then?"
.
I smile at his agreement.
"What's your name kid?" I ask.
.
"I'm not telling you." He says.
.
Well.
At least he smart enough not to tell.
"Very wise not to reveal that." I say. "But, don't worry. I'm not a spy. I just want to know what your name is. But since you won't tell me I have the right to suspect the worst. Are you a spy for Ganondorf?"
.
The kid nearly spits at this.
"I would never serve him." He says harshly.
.
Good.
Not many people would enough guts to say that.
Especially in front of a Gerudo.
"I like you kid. You got attitude." I say, half laughing.
.
I step aside from the wall.
I reveal the hole.
He makes a move to get through it.
But I stop him.
"Slow down. I haven't told you what you have to do yet."
.
I raise a hand to my chest.
"I'm Nabooru, leader of the Gerudo. And don't judge me by my race and the… associations I would have in it. I'm here so I can get rid of the evil King. There's a treasure somewhere in that hole. I'm too big to get through it now… but you can. So, if you could please go in and get me the silver gauntlets, I'd be grateful… maybe I'll even do something great for you."
.
The kid smiles slightly.
"I'm Link, a …er… Hylian Soldier."
.
Link?
What the?
Who names their child THAT?
.
I laugh.
"Link? What a funny name. I shan't forget it.".
.
He heads to the hole.
He crouches down and crawls through.
.
I watch him disappear.
He better come back.
He's my only hope now.
He better not steal them either.
.
I bend over and call into the hole.
"Hey! Hey, kid! And don't even think about taking them. They're much to big to fit you!"
.
"I won't!" Comes his voice.
It sounds… mischievous.
Like he has a plan.
I can't help but feel like I've made a mistake.
Like I'm in a trap.
.
I don't think that I'll get those gloves.
But something tells me…
That the kid…
He'll do some good with them.
I just had to help him along a bit.
.
Ta da! The end of this chapter. I hope you liked it more than I liked HP # 3… because it sucked beyond belief. Anyone who has read the book, should be ashamed of that movie. I could direct better than that. The actors were all good. But the plot… what plot? It was so random.
To anyone who thought it was good… I'm sorry you feel that way. You probably haven't read the book and had no idea what a disappointment the movie was. And if you have read the book and you thought it was good… Well.
Okay. Sorry about that. I needed to ramble a bit. Back to the topic.
Read and review please!
