Opia: What's this? Something that's not Orb of Bannon? Yeah, I found this on my floor a little while ago and I still liked it so I typed it up and Ta-da here it is. It's kind of in the same format as Do You Know Me?
I am the Hero of Time,
But time is my enemy.
It is the only reason I cannot lead a normal life.
Let me tell you my story:
My
world was turned upside-down
When
I was told I wasn't a Kokiri.
I
was sent across a foreign land
To
meet a princess.
The princess of destiny.
She
told me of an evil,
She
told me her dreams.
She
told me of gems
That
would help fight this evil.
Without
a second thought I left
And
gathered what she
Had
asked of me.
Then
she ran.
Ran
from Ganondorf.
And
left me to carry
Out
our plane alone.
With
a touch of a sword
I
was flung into time.
Into
a future where
The
evil man controlled all.
And
with the help of the princess
Disguised
as a man,
I
rescued five Sages.
I
fought with all my heart
To
save the kingdom.
But
when the evil man fell
The
princess sent me back.
Back
to my childhood
To
live what I had missed.
All
was peaceful for a time.
Though
I wish it had been longer.
And then it happened.
I
was called once more
To
meet the tree.
And
everything,
Everything
Was
the same.
The
speech,
The
monster inside,
The
evil man.
Déjà
vu didn't even begin to cut it.
At
first I thought
It
was a dream,
That
I was just remembering
Old
events in my mind.
But
it continued,
And
I went along with it
Until
I struck down
My
foe once more.
And she sent me back.
Once
again the world was at peace.
And
I believed it was finally over.
I was wrong.
Over
and over
It
would happen again.
Over
and over
The
same story unfolds.
I
can't avoid it.
I
can't change it.
I've
tried.
I've
failed.
Every
path I take
Ends
up with me being
Sent
back to my childhood.
Now
Zelda praises me
On
how fast I save the kingdom.
I
have it down to an art.
Completely
memorized.
I
don't even need the eye of truth,
I
know where Bongo Bongo's eye is.
And
I've told her,
I've
begged her
Not
to send me back.
I've
lived enough childhoods.
But she doesn't listen.
So
forever I fight,
Forever
I wait for the day
Navi
comes with the message.
And
it's not just saving the kingdom.
I
go off to Termina as well.
Not
for Navi,
I
know she's not there,
But
to stop the Skull Kid.
I
can't just let Termina be destroyed
When
I know I can stop it.
How
many cycles have I been through?
…
I
don't really know.
I
lost track a long time ago.
But
to me it feels like years.
Years
only my mind can feel.
Stuck
within a small timeframe for all eternaty.
I
think I found a way out.
A
way to stop the cycle.
But
I am afraid.
I
fight hordes of monsters,
Some
too terrifying to mention…
But
to take my own life…
I… I don't know if I can do it.
For
if I break the cycle
Ganondorf
will take over Hyrule.
…
Will he?
…
Probably.
But…
If
I take it after his defeat
And
before I get sent back
Then
everything will be fine.
… Right?
I
don't care!
I'm
desperate!
I
can't take it anymore!
I
wish I didn't have
To
do it in front of Zelda…
But
it can't be helped.
Yes.
My
mind is made up.
Once
I defeat Ganondorf again
My
life in this torturous cycle is over!
I
know you may not believe me.
But
keep it in your heart anyway.
Tell
it to others if you can…
For
you'll never see me again.
Thanks
for listening anyway.
It's
more than some people do.
Wish
me luck.
It's the only way…
…!
Oh, hello Navi.
Huh?
The Great Deku Tree wants to see me?
…
Of course…
Let's go…
Opia: I hope you liked this small, slightly angsty, interlude, I'm going back to OoB now...
