Legend of Zelda: Orb of Dreams

Chapter Four: Disturbing Dream

The sun was high in the sky and peeking through the window onto a sleeping form. The light reached his face and he awoke.

Long eyelashes fluttered open and quickly shut because of the brightness. Finally as his eyes adjusted, he was able to examine his surroundings. Link was in a grand bedroom, were every fabric in the room was green. A desk rested in the corner next to a large closet door. His bed was queen sized and rested upon a wooden frame. The walls were of large gray stones as well as the floor, which was covered in plush green rugs.

His body ached all over as he tried to move his arms. He pushed back the covers a bit and realized his clothes were gone and in their place were bandages.

With a moan of pain he sat up in his bed, leaning against his pillows. He brought his covers back up and relaxed.

Was he still inside the castle…? Link guessed as much.

Hurried footsteps made their way closer to Link's room. His eyes dart worriedly around the room for his weapons which were, unfortunately on the other side of the room. Link made a motion towards them but his door flew open at that moment, freezing him in mid movement.

His body relaxed as he realized who had come.

"Link, what are you doing! Were you trying to get up! You really shouldn't push yourself so much… you might really hurt yourself one of these days…" Zelda walked over to his bedside with fresh bandages and new clothes.

Link blinked a few times before she spoke again. "Let me dress your wounds. Lay back down."

Obediently, Link did as he was told. Zelda carefully unwrapped the old bandages from their place, revealing the wound and Link's toned muscular body. Slightly surprised that he was so powerfully built, she stopped for a second to think about what he went through to build them up like that. She shook her head to rid herself of those thoughts, and then she laid her eyes upon him once again. A sigh escaped her pink lips.

Shocked at what she had just done, she desperately hoped that Link didn't notice. Taking her eyes off her work, she turned her head to look at Link's face. His profile showed his strong chin and his blond locks. Zelda never realized that she hadn't seen him without his hat on, he looked good. His tan face was framed by his golden bangs which were gently moving with the wind. His sapphire irises watched as fluffy, white clouds passed the frame of the window, showing he was completely oblivious of Zelda's actions.

Blushing slightly, she resumed her work and finished quickly trying to minimize the pain for him. Taking the remaining bandages into her hand, she stood up and set his new clothes on the end of his bed.

She turned her back on him as he sat upright, wincing with pain. "Father wishes for you to join us for lunch if you are able to do so…"

Zelda glanced over her shoulder in time to see Link nod his understanding.

"Don't push yourself; a maid will come when it's time to lead you to the dining hall. If you don't see fit to attend just tell her so. Rest until then," with that said Zelda left.

Link was alone again with his thoughts. At least until…

"LINK! You're awake oh I'm so glade you're ok. You had me worried sick-"

"It's ok Navi. I'm fit as s fiddle," he said patting the bandages.

"OW! Ok maybe not…" he said doubling up.

"You really did a number on yourself, didn't ya'?" Navi said floating down to his bed.

"Eh, it's not the worst… Enough about me… Where were you during the meeting?" Link gave her a questioning look.

"Well, there are a few answers to that question. One, I don't really want to be seen. Two, what would people think of you having a fairy. Three, how many people have ever really seen us? How would they react? Four, they would question you, then they might want one of-"

Link cut her off "Ok I get it, but you don't have to be hidden around Zelda she knows you exist."

"Right…"

"Now if you don't mind I would like a little more sleep before lunch," Link said pulling the covers up to his neck and floating off into a restless sleep.

"NO!" Link shot up, covers flying off of him.

Link searched the room, fear consumed him, but everything was the same as before. This fact calmed him a little, but his heart rate and breaths were still erratic. Covering his face with his hands he rested his elbows on his thighs, cold beads of sweat were upon his face and were trickling down. He closed his eyes and tried to steady his breathing. Only to be met with the visions of his dream again. Blue eyes shot open as he gasped and flung his head back to look at the blank ceiling, his weakened body shaking violently.

Focusing on his breathing he was finally able to clam down. He leaned back on the headrest and tried to remember his dream.

He tried hard to keep the few pieces he had left, but the shards were slipping away slowly and surly, until all traces of the dream were gone, but the feelings it gave him remained.

"Are you alright Link?" Navi asked worriedly.

"Just another dream... Nothing to worry about," Link swung his legs off the side of the bed and placed this feet on the cold, stone floor.

Shivers climbed their way up his spine as he stood up. He shook them off and changed into the clothes Zelda brought to him.

A knock sounded on his door and a woman's voice spoke to him through it, "Are you decent, Sir?"

"Yes, you can come in," Link stated plainly.

She opened the door and smiled, "Oh, don't you look handsome in that outfit! Come it's time for lunch and our lord requests your presents."

Nodding Link followed her out the door, wondering what on Hyrule was to happen at this meeting with the King.
