Lights will guide you Home

Hello. This one might be a bit hard to understand the connection between the song and the story. I'll reclarify it at the end. To the song "Fix you" bye Coldplay.

Josh stood there, feeling the pain, the burden, the fire. Six times he had chased the Poes out from the graveyard, and each time they returned. Why? Because the people in the town allowed them too. He sighed. Why would no one listen to him?

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

His words remained ignored, and unheeded. What did he fight for if no one would listen? Josh closed his eyes as tears came to his eyes. Where was the Knight? Where was the respect? Where was the fair maiden he had dreamed off? Where was the good?

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Slowly he lifted his hammer from the silent earth, and walked on, through the town. Everywhere people walked together, joked and laughed, but he just walked on, alone.

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

'I oughta give up...' he thought. 'This town doesn't want me, why should I be concerned about it?'

Josh closed his eyes. These words weren't true, and he knew it. He loved Kakariko Village, he wanted it to survive, and he couldn't give up.

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what your worth

Josh looked forward, and watched as the world turned. But he stood alone as a lost man.

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

People watched him walk by slowly, glancing at him and then quickly looking away. They all knew who he was. If they needed to they would beat him up and throw him out again.

Tears stream, down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I..

Josh watched as they turned away. This is what it meant to be a Knight he guessed. To fight for that which is right, but to be cast away because of it. He fell to his knees and wept.

Tears stream, down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I..

"Hey!" Josh looked up, upon hearing the familiar voice.

The small green fairy flew up in front of his face. It was Jade, the fairy that had been following ever since she saved him from demons in the Graveyard.

"You look like you're giving up hope buddy boy! Well for one thing, I think that just isn't right that a big Knight like you forgets all the good he's done. Remember the family you saved from the Poes? Remember the old lady who you cast the demon out of? Remember when you saved Kayje from the Poes? And don't worry..."

Jade smiled.

"I sense that your time will be coming... you will find your lady..."

Josh looked up, the door to the inn opened, and a girl stepped out of it. She turned and smiled over at Josh, her long blond hair glowing in the moonlight. He stopped, and looked into her eyes. He knew here...

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.

Okay, in case you were wondering when the song says "Lights will guide you home" its obviously referring to Jade the fairy, since she's a ball of light with wings -Says the Great Hammermaster.

As for the girl at the end... well lets act like I wasn't obvious enough... She's his "lady." That's right, mm-hmmm. Alright, you want plain English? They gonna hook up sometime in the future. Okay, now the girl probably is Rubi, but I really don't know if the two of them are going to hook up in the rpg topic which these songfics have been based upon. But they are in the process of "hooking up" in a sep scene and have hooked up in the dance topic (which is just for fun.) So yeah, we'll see what happens in the main topic, but remember this is BASED upon it only, so yeah. So Zeq, don't be mad at me. -holds up hands in surrender.-

Okay, and for those of you who aren't into the RPG topic and who have read "The Nightmare of Josh and Scarlet" might be up in arms about me making the girl not Scarlet. Okay? You want an explanation? The two Josh's in the two stories come from different identical dimensions of Hyrule. Both are identical, but have there differences. The one that hooks up with Scarlet is much less lost, depressed, and haunted than the one who hooks up with Rubi. Good enough explanation? Good. Gah, soon I'm gonna have a big debate going as bad as the Malink vs. Zelink battles.
