Chapter Five: Truth and Temptation
"Child...You will be born into this world...May the goddesses by ignorant of this inevitable presence. That you, my child...My sweet daughter will protect the power of my new rule...Hyrule...the Triforce...they will be mine...and the fairy boy...Link...will surrender the Triforce of courage at my feet..."
The red haired woman sat with her knees to the wet earth and a blank expression on her face. "...Link?" The blonde Hylian seemed over-filled with joy that the mention of his name put so much of what seemed to be fear into this woman.
"Have you heard of me?" Link said with a smirk on his face.
Phae's head was tilted down in the pain of her realization. "I...remember now. My father...my purpose...Link, I wasn't born from my mother...I was created by black magic..." She jolted her head up with tears falling from her beautiful eyes.
"Link, I was created to destroy you!"
Link looked as shocked as Phae had before. "Are you kidding? Do you plan to kill me now?" Link stood at guard.
"Phae...was created for that purpose alone," she said as her eyes grew solid black. In an instant, she jumped up at Link's neck with her sword out, only to miss after Link's reflexes were put to work; he held his sword diagonally then pressed upward, sending Phae's blade up in the air giving Link a clear shot.
He took the opportunity to knock her down with his own body weight and held the blade to her neck.
At first she looked enraged, with her eyes dark and her face in fury, but she couldn't hold it much longer. Tears fell once again from her eyes until Link felt sympathetic and moved the blade away from her neck then stood up and sheathed it.
"Link...I'm...sorry."
"...It's okay." As he stood there, a rain began to pour down on the trees. They just stayed still, looking at each other for a moment. Phae loosened up and dropped her head to the ground. She slid her fingers through the slowly dampening soil breathing slowly.
Link took a step toward Phae, whose eyes were now closed and lied down next to her. He put a hand on her waist and slowly slid his hand across. He moved closer to her so that they were less than an inch away, then laid on top of her, with his left leg between hers. He held her in his arms with his left cheek touching her right.
"Link..."
The rain poured on through the night on which they fell in love...
Author's Notes:
O.O' Way ta go Link! Everyone is getting tired of the short chapters, so do not fret! I wrote the next chapter (on paper though) and it is about five pages! So it will be longer than the others. I sorta gave a couple clues about things, so if ya don't get 'em now, they'll come to you next chapter. Thanks for reading! Please review me!
