Thanks for the reviews!
Enjoy the final chapter!
Chapter 7: Life as it is
" Marth?"
I groaned, as I heard my name being called over and over in my mind. Someone began tugging on my arm, constantly shaking me.
" Marth, get up!"
My eyes shot open as I abruptly sat up. I blinked a couple of times, waiting for my vision to return. I rubbed my throbbing eyes, listening to the conversations in the background. Once I lowered my hands, I noticed I was in my dorm, sitting on my bed.
My eyes widened as I looked around the room. Everything was back to the way it should be. Four beds were placed up against the wall, there weren't any security cameras or pictures of Ganondorf anywhere, and the room had its lively look to it.
" Hey Marth, you okay?"
I looked over by the bathroom, watching as Link walked out running a towel over his damp hair. A smile crept on my face as I jumped out of bed. Link was alive! The wish must have worked, which meant that everyone was back. Roy, Fox, Mario…and all of the other smashes who were killed…are alive. Young Link, and Zelda are back and Ganondorf isn't in control anymore.
" Link!" I cried, contently. I walked to other beds, examining the belongings sitting on them. Roy's stuff and Young Link's stuff was here. It was finally over.
Link raised an eyebrow perplexed. " Yeah?"
" You're back!" I exclaimed, turning to face him.
Link nervously chuckled tossing the towel back into the bathroom. He grabbed his green hat, placing it back on his head. " Uh, sure Marth. I just went to take a shower."
I rubbed the back of my head and nodded. " Of course…"
I hurried back toward my bed and got down on the floor, lifting the covers. I pulled out my suitcase, and my sword that sat on top of it. I finally had my sword back and I wasn't dead either. There was no mark from Ganondorf's weapon, no blood, no scar or cut in my shirt.
The door opened as Roy walked in, already dressed and ready to go. He ran over to his bed and grabbed his sheath, tying it around his waist. He looked over at me and smiled. " Good morning Marth. Did you sleep well?"
I abruptly ran over toward Roy giving him a hug, relieved he was alive. " Roy! You're not dead!"
Roy's eyes widened in surprised as he pulled me away. " Of course Marth, why would I be?"
I stepped back, remembering that none of them knew what happened. I was the only one who had witnessed a life with Ganondorf in control. I was the only one who had remembered Young Link, Link and Zelda. Everyone else doesn't know about my trip. To them, I could have had a horrible nightmare…a dream.
A dream….maybe it was all just a dream…
" I…" I frowned lowering my head. " I had a dream about you dying…"
Roy crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow. " Really? A dream?"
I was silent for a moment. Was it really? I was unsure. Everything that happened to me seemed so real, including the pain. It feels strange that I was the only one who had gone through it all. I feel like someone else should remember, but sadly to them only a night has passed. For me, an entire day.
I lifted my head toward Roy and smiled nodding. " Yeah, it was all…a dream."
Roy shrugged and ran over toward the door, just as it had opened. Fox poked his head into the room and waved for us to follow him. " Hey guys! Hurry up or you're going to be late for the final announcement. Master Hand has something for us all."
Fox, Roy and Link abruptly left the room. I nodded to myself, and took a deep breath, breathing in the fresh air. It feels so good to be home. I never knew how happy I would be here. After seeing how one person could affect everyone lives, I knew making the wish was a big mistake. I had learned how life truly is without Young Link, and I should be grateful he's alive.
I was just about to head to the door, when Young Link stepped into the room. I stopped short, looking down at the young elf. He returned the gaze with weary eyes, and held his hand out giving me my trophy. My eyes widened as I took the golden precious item in his hands. Sure enough it was my trophy, but there was something different about it. My trophy was fixed. It looked brand new, just like all of the other smashers that had gotten one.
" I'm sorry Marth…" Young Link apologized. " I told Master Hand about what happened and we both worked together to fix it."
A smile came across my face as I looked down at Young Link. I nodded to him. " Thank you…"
Young Link smiled in return. " So you…forgive me?"
" Of course." I brought the trophy over to my bed placing it carefully with my belongings. " I…" My voice softened. "…I learned my lesson."
Young Link's face curled perplexed. " What do you mean?"
I turned to face him and shook my head. " Never mind that. But I just really want to thank you Young Link…for everything." Young Link grinned proudly. " This trophy…you spent all night working on it?"
Young Link nodded. " Yep, and I only had five cups of coffee to stay awake."
I laughed walking over toward him. " Well, thanks again."
Young Link nudged me in the arm. " What would you do without me, Marth?" He laughed and hurried out of the room.
I stopped in the doorway, watching as a group of smashers walked by. I thought about what he had said, and smiled.
" You have no idea…" I replied softly, before finally stepping out of the room and joining my friends.
