Hiya guys. Sorry it's taken me so long to update… again. But school is getting crazy and I have no time… at all.

Okay, so… To the story…

Thanks for anyone who took the time to review my last entry. It was very different just because it was from Ganondorf's point of view. But I wanted to get across the sort of blind panic people get for short amounts of time when they fear everything they've done will be wiped away. I think I got it down.

Right then, this is two requests put into one because they seemed to fit so well together and, otherwise by themselves, would have very little content.

So… Here we go…

1

Character- Link

Setting- Link is fishing at the pond. He's decided that it's about time for a break and lays back to think about things for a while.

1

Guessing.

1

I cast my line as far as I can.

It lands on the glassy surface with a soft 'plop'.

The ripples break across the smooth texture of the water.

They slowly make their way back to me.

1

I haven't had a bite yet.

But I'm not expecting to get one either.

I'm just here because it was either this or have Navi shout.

And I guess I kinda agree with her this time…

I haven't stopped since I woke up here.

And I think I need a break too.

1

I reel in my lure.

Its fruitless… again.

I'm no good at fishing,

No good at all.

1

These fish must be the non-biting kind.

And the owner's just tripped me for ten rupees.

1

I cast it back out again.

Only because if I don't, Navi might notice that I'm not doing anything.

And that'll mean trouble for me.

…

Nayru, it's as if she's my mother.

1

At this thought,

My mind starts to shift back to the conversation I had a few days ago.

With the new Deku Tree.

The fact that I actually had a real live mother…

The fact that I wasn't grown, like seeds, like the Kokiri.

The fact that I'm Hylian.

1

Hylian…

1

Actually growing up was never part of my plan.

I was brought up to believe that I would live and die a child.

And now that I think about it…

It would be shocking for anyone to just… wake up after seven years and find a new body.

But…

For someone who believed that they would never change…

For them to wake up grown after seven years…

That's a bit different.

1

And now what?

After all this is finished…

What am I gonna do?

I can't go back to the forest now.

I'm not a Kokiri.

That's why I didn't get Navi until so late.

But after this…

I won't have a house anymore.

Where do I go?

1

Where do I belong?

1

I realize that I've reeled in the lure again.

I hold it up.

The bait is gone.

No fish.

I silently curse at myself.

1

I put on some more bait.

I pitch the lure into the middle of the pond once more.

…

I should just get out of here.

This is a waste of time.

1

Heh,

Time.

There's that word again.

It seems to stalk me.

Haunt me.

Even though right now, it's my weapon.

1

Time seems to have just appeared to me.

The whole concept of it was nothing for me.

Two weeks ago, I was a Kokiri.

I'd play until I got tired.

I'd sleep when the woods went black.

I'd eat when my stomach growled.

That was time for me.

There was no such thing as night and day,

Dinner time or breakfast time.

Noon or Midnight.

It was all just a smear of life.

1

And now everything I do is saturated with Time.

I can't escape it.

No one can.

1

I mean…

Just look at Hyrule now.

Everyone's changed.

Everything has changed.

Have I changed too?

Not only physically…

Just… Have I changed myself?

1

Like Saria…

She's changed.

Now she's a Sage.

And I'll probably never see again…

Never play with her again.

She has so much responsibility now.

I guess it's the responsibility that I gave to her.

And she's changed.

1

I guess all that I really want is for things to just be the way they were.

And I guess that's kind of what I'm doing.

But…

I can't turn back time…

I can only erase the evil.

Not whole memories.

Nothing will change the history of what has happened…

Only what will happen.

That's all I can do.

1

I watch the line bob back and forth.

I can see the fish under the sheet of water,

But none of them move in for a bite.

Stupid fish.

1

I wiggle the line,

Trying to coax the fish.

They don't move.

1

I guess I should leave here soon.

Epona is still outside and it's getting dark.

I need to feed her too.

1

I've never had any sort of pet before.

It's kinda weird being responsible for something else.

I have to take care of Epona now.

I think I'm doing a good job.

She hasn't run away yet.

And Malon trusted me with her.

1

I guess I should really go and visit Malon.

I haven't checked to see if her dad got back yet.

I sent him there a few days ago, so her should be there by now.

And it's about time too.

1

I feel sorry for Malon.

Well… I've never had parents or anything,

But I know she was close to her dad.

So it must have been hard for her to put up with that.

She's changed so much too.

I think it's mostly because of what she's been through.

Din, it must have been hard for everyone to have lived through these seven years.

1

Am I blessed for skipping them?

Or…

Am I cursed to cure them?

Am I both?

1

And then…

What about Zelda?

Sheik just told me that she wasn't dead.

And if she's not dead,

That means she has to be somewhere.

And that somewhere isn't here.

So where is she?

And…

And why isn't she doing anything?

This is her land.

Her people.

Is she cowardly enough to just let me do it all alone.

1

Apparently.

1

I reel in the lure and look it over.

The bait is still there.

But still no fish.

1

How could she just leave everything behind?

1

I stare at the hook.

1

Does she even know what's happening?

1

My eyes stay fixed on the metal hook.

1

Where is she?

1

As cry out as I hurl the stupid thing out into the middle of the pond.

A loud splash explodes.

I angrily reel it back in.

I do it so fast that it nearly skips on the surface.

I jerkily bring it closer to me,

Angry at everything.

1

Just then,

My line snaps tight.

Something thrashes.

I rip the fishing rod backwards with considerable force.

And…

Out pops a wiggling fish.

I grab it in shock.

1

"What was that all about?" Asks Navi from my shoulder.

1

"The fish were being stupid. I couldn't catch one. I guess I lost my temper." I lie hotly.

1

"Oh. Well…" Navi begins carefully, "I guess we are having fish for dinner then."

1

I look at the now dead fish in my hand.

"I'm completely sure that we're having fish tonight. It's everything else that I'm guessing about." I say.

1

Well, sorry again for the long wait. But at least this is up now. My next entry will be from Saria's PoV from before the events of the Game even began. So… I hope it'll work out the way I want it to.

Anyway, bye for now.

R & R to tell me what you thought.
