Chapter 9: True feelings
This is the fastest I've every updated. It's only been maybe 3 days since I put up chapter 8. Well here it comes chapter 8.
"Well it looks like it's you and me Lyric" Talim said. She didn't like Lyric not one bit not only was she bossy and hot tempered but she also thought she was after Link. She knew she had feelings for Link and now Talim wasn't afraid to tell herself she did. It was telling him that was difficult. Link was out cold and so she had no one to talk to but Lyric.
"Talim why don't you go and fetch me some cold water and a cloth for Link's head. All the red potions were on the boat and I have no other way to ease the pain." Lyric ordered
Talim mumbled a bit but got the cloth and water. When she came back she saw Lyric playing a tune on her ocarina. "What are you doing?"
"I'm trying to calm him a bit. I figure if he heard something that reminded him of home he might feel more comfortable."
"How comfortable can you get when you have broken bones everywhere."
"Not very but at least we can try."
"We'll I've got what you wanted"
Lyric nodded "Thank You." She thought about the fight that had just transpired she wished she could have helped but if she stopped playing things just would have been worst for them. They all would have been crushed by the ocean around them. "So Talim why did you start this journey" She was curious about the others. She knew she had to trust them but how do you trust someone who you know nothing about.
"Which one"
"The one for soul Edge"
"Why do you want to know, I mean why should I tell you?"
"Well if were going to trust each other we should probably know something about each other."
"Hmmm…. Well it started when I was younger about 4 years ago. I was reading the winds when I felt a strong evil aura. It was so strong I passed out. When I awoke the aura was gone. 4 years later I found a piece of Soul Edge and I felt the same aura. I set out on a quest to return the piece to where it came from. Unfortunately I got into a battle with the infamous Yoshimitsu; he stole the shard from me."
"Interesting"
"So why aren't you going crazy about your prophecy."
Lyric finished putting the cloth around Links head. "Because I know I have to be patient to save my people. The sword has to come first."
"And how's that" Talim didn't believe her she didn't show patience when it came to anything
"Well right now my people are being slaughtered and beat. I have but one chance to save them and make their suffering end. I need all the help I can get and if I'm not patient I'll have none.
"So basically you're just using us. So if you didn't need us you would be all pushy to get to your prophecy."
"If I didn't need you I wouldn't be here." Lyric talked calmly even though she sensed agitation in Talim's voice. "So what's wrong with you? As far as I know I haven't done anything to you."
"Not directly but your always picking fights with my friends"
"Friends like Yunsung and Raphael. I have no reason to pick fights with anyone unless they start with me." She said taking the defensive
"Yeah well if that's true why do you decide to just walk in here and decide to take one of our comrades and disrupt our group." She said almost yelling
Lyric finally got it "You mean Link. Ohhhhh…. I see Talim." She said flashing a wry smile.
"What, what do you see" she said blushing
"You have a crush on Linky baby, don't you" Lyric laughed "You think I'm stepping in your territory, how cute."
"Hey stop, that's not true."
"Okay so then I can have Linky poo all to myself."
"You better not!!!!" Talim yelled and then quickly covered her mouth
Lyric laughed "How cute!!!! Oh wow how did I not see this coming! Look kid Link's cute and all but he's not my type I'm not trying to steal him from you."
"What do you mean not your type? What is your type?"
"Actually I don't know I never had a boyfriend.'
"I wonder why" Talim mumbled
"Hey that's not why I just never had the time I spent basically my Whole life training to be a hero."
"Right" it was Talim's time to make Lyric squirm.
Lyric and Talim talked for quite a while and turned out to have a lot they could relate to. They both become friends on that day but little did they realize that all though Link's eyes were shut tight his ears were not. He heard everything. He thought to himself oh great not only do I have to worry about getting the pieces of Soul Edge and saving my home but I also have to worry about love and that might be the greatest challenge of all.
