Chapter 2: Strange Occurrances


Many years later

The autumn night was nice and cool as I sat on top of the roof of my family's barn. I had once thought that the best place to come stargazing was up here as no one could bother me and the only sounds of the night animals could be heard, I still think the same. Life for me was a simple one, I had my Ma and Pa, Epona, and all my good friends, it was all I ever needed in life. Even though the tall buildings and lights in the city were breathtaking, I still wouldn't live there. It's ingrained in Hateno old culture to hate the big city of Castle Town after the meteor shower. Me and my family, well— we're neutral about it. We've actually gotten to know a few of our customers in the city, and some were decent folk. They also have a high class school which is in the rich side of Castle Town. Of course, I wouldn't get into that school since I'm lower class….not that I want to either.

I laid down on the wood of the barn and closed my eyes as I slowly went into a sleep-like state. Not even ten minutes later did I hear the sound of my Dad, Rusl, calling for me.

"Link! Where are ya?" Dad calls out again.

I leaned over the roof so he could see me and wave. " up here Pa!"

He smiles, and beckons me over, " Jump down from there Link, need your help with ol' Bessie."

I nod my head and jump from the two story roof while landing of my feet perfectly. How did I do this you ask? Well let's just say I was born special, or at least that's what my parents told me. Pa said that Ma prayed for me when the doctors said she couldn't have any children, but Ma proved him wrong by not only having me but also having my younger brother Colin, who is three and a half years younger than me. He wasn't born with special abilities but we both get along well and both share a love for basketball. When we play I never use my special abilities because obviously, that's cheating.

"So Link, why do you hang out on the roof every night?" Pa asked as I made my way over to him.

I shrug, "It's calming I suppose." I respond. Honestly, I've wondered that question myself from time to time. I don't really have a reason for doing it other than I just like looking at the stars. I feel like there's something out there..calling me to do something … hahaha yeah right.

We finally made it to where Bessie, Pa's truck, had broken down. I get behind it and, with one hand, I lift the front of it to allow for him to work on the old vehicle.

"Thanks son, you do way better than our flimsy jack" Pa said as he wheeled himself underneath the truck.

" why don't you get another truck dad? I saw you eyeing that red one in Castle Town." I said. Really he needed one, this truck couldn't honestly last much longer.

Pa sighed out before he answered. " You know we don't have enough Rupees for that..we're already trying to pay for Colin to go to school, it's bad enough we had to take you out Link."

He points his hand out from underneath the truck and grabs a wrench from his tool box.

" high school hasn't started yet dad..so technically I'm not missing anything, and Fado said he'd give me his sons old books!" I told him, though school was this Monday . In actuality I wanted to go to school. It's where I hung out with my friends Ilia and Talo. Ilia is the mayor's daughter, I've known her and her father since elementary school. She's the energetic adventurous type, always spending her time outdoors and with my horse Epona. Though she's fairly attractive, I've been friends with her too long to harbor any special feelings for her.

My friend Talo...now he's a piece of work. He's going into high school this year at the same time Colin is. He normally hangs out with Colin and me on the basketball court, though he's a bit boastful he knows when he's beat and respects all who are on the court.

"Dad! Link! Here you guys are," Colin yelled as he ran up to meet us.

"Sup little bro," I said as I sent a two fingered salute with my unoccupied hand.

Colin appeared to be all out of breath once he finally made it to us.

"Hey- - whoo- - Ma has dinner ready," he said once he caught his breath. " took me a minute to find you guys" he added on.

"Tell her we'll be there in a sec, Col" Dad said, still underneath the truck.

" Alright Pa," Colin said as he made his trek back towards the house.

After five more minutes, Dad finally got out from underneath the truck- - with two grease stains to boot, and we walked back towards the house.


"Link honey, you sure you're okay with missing out on school?" Ma asked me as she finished setting up the dinner table. She gave the okay to eat and soon we started to chow down.

"Yeah Ma, I'm fine with it." I said with a mouthful of food.

"It'll only be for the first few weeks until me and your father can get enough rupees." She said as she smiled sadly at me.

"Just think of it as an extended summer vacation, plus you get to work with me and Fado more." Pa said as he poured some Lon Lon milk into a couple glasses. Colin grabbed his glass and took a couple of sips.

"Man I do love me some Lon Lon milk." He said as he continued to eat.

" Who doesn't?" I chuckled out. I'd dare someone to say they didn't enjoy Lon Lon's milk, it's either they were crazy or they never tried it.

I stop my thought process when I feel a vibration in my pocket. Apparently I received a text from Ilia.

'Hey Linkie'

'Lol hey Ilia,' I reply

' School is starting tomorrow! You, me, Talo and Colin are going to rock the place ;)'

Yikes.

I hadn't told her- or anyone for a matter of fact I wasn't attending immediately.

I was about to respond back, but I catch myself, frowning. What was I to say?

I decided to just pocket my phone, continue eating before excusing myself to my room. Once in my room, I got ready for bed and brought out my acoustic guitar to continue a bit on my lyrics. I was in the middle practicing when my Dad popped in.

"Hey champ?"

"Yeah Dad, what's up?" I said as I lay the guitar flat on my lap.

"Fado called, he said he needed some assistance. I was wondering if you'd wanna go up to help him in the city?"

"Sure, what time we leave?"

Dad chuckles, patting my shoulder, "Actually, I was thinking you could go it alone this time."

I snort, raising both eyebrows at him, he couldn't be serious. " is that so?"

He nods, " Yes, it is so."

I look him into the eyes to see if there's any lingering doubt. Not that I didn't believe him, but he always told me to keep a low profile and stay by him in the city. It was odd that'd he'd even offer this.

"What brought this on?" I ask him, admittingly stumped.

"Well I'm taking your brother to school so I can't be there, plus Fado said it was something big and definitely rewarding he'd have you do. So why not?"

"That's true." I say with a bit of excitement. I was glad that I was just going, but apparently there was a reward in it too.

"Try to get some sleep sport, you got a big day tomorrow." He said as he turned off the light before leaving.

"Night." I say as I enter into the land of my dreams

...Link…

Wha- - huh?

...Link.. can you hear me...Link?

Who's there?

Where am I? I'm just floating in nothingness..and there's a voice..a voice of a girl..but I can't recognize her. She's calling me, but what for?

Link..you...must...find-


My eyes snap open, senses alert. As I hear a repeated rapping coming from my window. I roll out of bed, then cautiously walk towards my window. I look through the curtains and let out a sigh as I see Talo dressed in the Hatento High school garment. I yawn, before I open up the window to let him in.

"What're you doing here Talo?" I rasp, still groggy.

"What's this I hear about you missing the first day because you're sick?" he tells me as he jumps into my room. " You can't skip the first day! That's the day you show everyone who you are, and we promised to do that together!"

Maybe I shouldn't have opened my window. I probably should've stayed in bed and act like I didn't hear anything.

"Look Talo, I can't go. I've gotta go into the city to get me some medicine." I said as I fake a cough. Might as well milk the lie.

"There's two things wrong with what you said. One, I've never seen you sick, even in allergy season. Two, why won't old man Rusl go get it?"

" Pa has to take Colin to school, which is where you should be headed as well Talo."

He checks the time on his phone as his eyes nearly popped out of his head.

"Yikes you're right!" He said as he struggled to climb back out my window. "I'll be back later Link, and stay safe in the city! There was something strange on the news." he added in a serious tone.

"Strange how?"

My question fell on deaf ears as Talo was finally through and he quickly ran away.

I suppose whatever Talo saw was nothing special, he'd find a new toilet paper advertisement interesting and strange. Somewhere deep down though, I can feel my instincts warn me of something dangerous. I somehow feel like it relates to that dream I just had. I wish I could remember it more clearly but I have more important things to do now that I'm up. Pa wanted me to help Fado so I might as well head into the city. Fado's an early riser.

I go to shower and zip on my clothes. After ten minutes I'm outside and ready to depart. Dad took the truck apparently and Ma took the family car so that meant I was my own transportation. Fine by me.

I stretch my legs and waist, and once I'm done I make sure no one is there to see me as I take off, faster than any car could ever hope to go. I slow down slightly as I pass by the school and see my Dad let my brother out the car. I also see Ilia as she says goodbye to her father. Continuing past the school I pick up speed again and enter into the city in under five minutes. People, buildings, and cars were nothing but a blur as I rushed past them.

I finally arrived into Castle Town and make my way into the market area. There I see Fado already set up with his shop and handing out a goat to a customer. In all honesty, he needed to find a new career in this day and age.

"Thanks, come again!" He says as he waves them goodbye.

"Well, if it isn't Link Foreston. How're yer boy?" Fado asks with his thick country accent. Most everyone in Hateno had one. However, none as thick as Fado.

"It's been quite awhile, ain't it?" Fado begins, stopping right before me. I smell politely at the elder man. He worked with my father, though he had the nastier side of their job.

"Good to see you again, sir."

He wraps his arm around my shoulders and starts a hearty laugh. " polite as ever, are ye?"

"Glad you're here working with me Link," he adds. " though I wish ye didn't have to miss schooling for this. Don't worry though, I'll make it worth your time."

As I get to work on selling the goats for Fado, I see something across the street from me. It's a news broadcast showing a huge crater that suddenly appeared somewhere in Hateno town. Suddenly I get a foul feeling in the pit of my stomach as I continue to watch what was being shown.

' I'm Carter Hol and today something unexplainable has happened. I'm here at the Foreston Farm— or what was the Foreston Farm and I can't tell you how shocked I am. Eyewitnesses say that the farm totally disappeared in a blink of an eye and just left the crater in its wake. We also have heard that both Mr. and Mrs. Foreston were in the house at the time while their children—'

That was all I heard before I dropped everything and sped back home.


You guys know what to do :)
