It was a somewhat regular day for me, I got lost as always walking through the gigantic halls of the castle. But I always relied heavily on the fact that the other knights argued a lot. But, I was wrong this time, I walked in on the king's conversation with a beautiful young woman. As soon as I realised this, I bowed to him in apology. He spoke to me with an extremely soft tone, like my father I personally feel calm near him. The girl looked at me funny, as if she was wondering why he spoke softly with me. He explained the entire situation to her, and her name was Zelda - a name I heard way too often. We talked for a while but as always, not a word passed my lips - I am unable to talk because I feel that outwardly expressing my feelings will…. I can't explain. I left after a while and wondered what she was like personality wise. I hope she understands what I am going through.
The next day was not what I expected, she constantly yelled at me to go away and to leave her alone. But I never left her until I knew she was safe, I was just confused about why I was being yelled at for only doing my job. She is the complete opposite of what I was expecting, but she had a great personality though. I hoped this was a one off situation.
A month later, we were checking out shrines together and she was stating her thoughts out loud. I nodded my head in agreement as we were walking around. Then, before I knew it, all hell broke loose." Speak link! As the princess of Hyrule, I demand you to speak or you are made redundant. What is it going to be, so called knight!"I trembled and tried to get my words out, I recited what I was going to say in my head over and over again but only came out with nothing but silence . I thought for a moment then handed over all my possessions to her. I turned around and ran, she never saw the lycratimal of tears rolling down my face. I ran to the only place of comfort I could think of - the field. I could hear her calling me but I had enough, she only wanted me back to abuse me more. As I arrived at my wanted destination, I started training to see if that would help me cheer me up. But just as I managed to kill everything in the area, a knight grabbed hold of me tightly. He obviously saw my stress and told me that killing off everything won't help my sadness. I did not dare try breaking his grip, because I know what happens if you try. Eventually, I was dragged into the room with both Zelda and her father. I was beyond the point of trusting her now, I avoided eye contact so no one knew I was upset. But everyone in the castle knew I had tried to kill off thousands of monsters, so I don't know why I ever tried to hide the fact that I was obviously taking her words too far. She denied apologising to me as she ran outside, I sat her down and attempted to tell her the truth about why I'm silent but she interpreted it another way. We walked back in and I left shortly after. It was not long until Mipha, Urbosa, Rivali and Daruk came to check on me. We ' talked' for a while, expressing their concern about hearing about what happened. But yet a word could not pass my own lips, how stupid I am. As they left relieved that I was ok, I went into a silent slumber. Only to wake up to knocking and Zelda busting in using the hand motions I use frequently, I'm glad she understands now! We spent the whole day getting to know each other better, I was thrilled!
Only, the joy was short - lived. I passed out on her, the person who hated me. It took a year to fully recover from passing out, but my memories were lost permanently. She knew this and told me everything that happened, even the terrible things she stated to me. I was fine with it though, as long as I get my memory back! Ever since, I have never left her side. She finally understands… The burden I carry.
