Welcome everyone to the first official chapter of The Edge Twilight!
Now a few things before we begin. This chapter is mainly going to focus on Link and what he's been doing the past three months, and also a little insight into his dreams,and the main goal he's going to be after. Also some information on the state of hyrule and its people. So kinda a slow one but i'll make up for it with the next chapter.
But enough of me talking you came hear for the story so lets begin
Chapter 1:Hopes and Nightmares
Link shot up panting for breath and covered in sweat. Chest rising and falling rapidly he quickly looks around to make sure he's not in that frozen wasteland. Confirming that he is still in his room in Telma's bar he brings his hands up and rests his head in them as he works to steady his breathing and calm his frantic heart. Its not the first time he's awoken like this. During his quest to defeat Zant and save Hyrule form the twilight there were many nights when the burden of saving an entire kingdom got to heavy and his sleep would be plagued buy nightmares. Back then his companion Midna had helped ease his worries by reminding him he's not in this alone and that whatever happens she'll be right by his side. Now he has to deal with them all alone ever since Midna went back to the twilight realm and destroyed the mirror of twilight. The only known way to travel between the two worlds.
Ever since that day he's been having odd 'nightmares'. Before they were just quick scenes of running past trees or facing down shadowy monsters, to walking down the halls of a mysterious temple. They only happened a few times a week for the first two months. Now over the last four weeks they have been getting more frequent to almost daily and much more detailed with this one being the most clear. shaking his head he looks around the room to help focus. trying to take his mind off the nightmare he take note of space. The room he rented from Telma was about an average size square. Looking to his left he sees the door that goes out into the hallway that leads to the other rooms on this floor. On the right of it sits the desk piled with books and scrolls he's been spending many a late night looking through. The wall on the other side door holds a chest to lock up your valuables a clock rests on a self above it. On the wall directly opposite of that one is the door that goes to the bathroom. To the right of it sat in the corner is a basic light brown wardrobe that is currently holding his green hero's tunic and hat. On the last wall is his bed a regular twin size with the end he lays his head on up against the wall with the chest,dark brown sheets and a white pillow adorn it. At the foot of the bed is the window that looks out over Castle Town but with the black drapes pulled only a small beam of light peaks through. Sitting under the window leaning against the wall is the hylian Shield with The Master sword to the right of it leaning against the bed frame. All of it sits on a floor of dark brown wood with gray stone walls surrounding it.
With one final shake of his head Link decides he's had enough time to clam down and that its time to get started on the day. Garbing the blanket with one hand and throwing it to the side he stands up and heads to the bathroom. Opening the wood door he sees that its floor and walls are switched. To the right sits the wooden bathtub to the left is the stone sink and mirror next to that is a wooden rack holding some towels. Walking over to the sink he waves his hand over the blue crystal on top of the pipe above the bowl and water begins to fill the sink. It still amazes him that all of Castle Town has a internal water system nothing like this exists back in Ordon. Cupping his hands under the water he splashes his face a few times then looks in the mirror. His eyes are a little bloodshot and he's got light bags under his eyes form the restless night. Letting out a breath he grabs a knife and begins to shave off the little patches of stubble that have grown.
As he dose that he goes over his next move 'The books i got from the public and royal library's all say the same thing. That the Mirror of Twilight was the only sure way to get into the Twilight Realm. After two months of tearing through every book about portals and the Twilight Realm i can find, it's looking like there's only one way for me to see her again'. Finishing up Link puts the knife off to the side, putting his hands on both sides of the sink he tilts hie head down and lets out a breath."If it truly comes to that then i never will be able to be with her again" he says sadly. Standing upright he lightly smacks both cheeks with his hands and shakes hie head. "No don't start thinking like that!" he says to his reflection with a glare "Just because you couldn't find anything else doesn't mean the others haven' had any luck" he says with a not so small amount of hope in his voice "We are supposed to meet in the bar later to go over anything they've found. So no use getting discouraged. If Midna saw me like this she'ed kick my ass" he says with a small smile. turning off the water he goes over to the tub and waves a hand over the red crystal above to begin filling it to wash up for the coming day. Unknown to him The Master Sword glows a faint pale blue.
Coming out of the bathroom with one towel around his waist and another drying his dark blonde hair he looks at the clock to check the time. 'Eight thirty huh. we aren't suppose to meet in the bar for another hour' he thinks. Setting the towel on his shoulders he walks over to the desk and lights one of the many candles. looking down at a single piece of parchment, his eyes scan over the writing on the page. On the it is a list of places that might help him with his search to go back to The Twilight Realm. Already crossed out are the names of the many temples that dot the land of Hyrule. Taking a quill and dipping it in ink he crosses out the names of the two library's. With that done only two things remain on the parchment one being the resistance information network, and the other he doesn't want to think about. finished with that he goes over to the wardrobe to get dressed.
Putting on his green hat he gives himself a once over. Dressed in his hero tunic with beige pants and brown boots he goes over to the wall with The Master Sword and Hylian Shield. Strapping both to his back he blows out the candle and exits his room. The hallway for the rooms has a dark wood floor and stone walls the same as the rooms with the path being just wide enough for two grown adults to walk side by side without bumping into one another. With two sets of stone steps on both ends one leading up to the third floor and the other leading down the first floor with more rooms and the bar on the ground level.
Walking down the steps into the bar Link looks around at the few patrons that are hear this early. A hand full mercenary's and town guards litter the tables. In the center of them is Jovani still crying into his mug about his ex girlfriend, all that's normal. Whats not is someone siting across from him, this person is wearing a black cloak with the hood pulled up so you cant see his face hiding in the shadow of it. 'strange Telma has a rule about hoods inside the bar' he thinks as he looks ahead to the women herself behind the counter wiping out a mug. Walking over to her he passes behind Jovani and try's to get a peak under the strangers hood but he can't see anything however the rest of the way to Telma he can feel his eyes on him.
And that will do it for this one! Thanks to everybody for reading!
