So… It's a… been awhile. How are you guys? Good? That's nice. ….
Alright, enough beating around the bush. I'm gonna honest with you guys. A lot of personal stuff has been happening recently, some of which I won't mention, and I haven't really had the motivation to write. At first I was planning to write more over winter break, but I had a lot of school work to catch up on. As it stands, I'm kinna behind when it comes to cornell notes for AP World, and I'm missing some bio labs. My life is just a real mess right now. So, as you may have noticed, updates won't be as frequent as I want them to be. I'm sorry for the wait, but school comes first. Anyways, now that that's out of the way, thank you to everyone that has left a review, favorited, followed, and even read this. It means a lot. I think I'll end this overly long author's note now. Without further adue, chapter 2. Sorry it's so short. I just wanted to get something out there.
"We're running out of time so I'll explain it quick." Impa said to the injured hero and the princess. They were hiding behind a large boulder to avoid incoming attacks "Link, Zelda and I are going to send you to a different world, one free of danger where you can tend to your wounds. When you get there, I want you to heal yourself and find shelter. Here take this." The Sheika handed Link a small blue crystal with a string attached to the end. He took it with his right hand due to the fact that his left was trying to stop the bleeding of his wound. "It's a communication crystal. It will let us contact you whenever we need to, no matter the distance. Once we find a way to hide we will contact you."
"Wait, you're not coming with me?" Link said with a concerned tone in his voice. "It's too dangerous for you guys to stay here!"
"We have no other choice! Sending someone to another world without a physical item to support the process takes up a lot of magic, even with two people. Zelda and I only have the capacity to send you."
"Why not send Zelda instead? Her safety should be our top priority." After hearing this Zelda finally spoke up. "Link," she said "you're badly injured. If you were to stay, you'd most likely die. We can get you out of here, so there is no need to put you in unnecessary danger. Besides," a small smile appeared on her face. "Impa and I can fend for ourselves. We're stronger than we look, you know." Another attack hit the boulder that the trio was hiding behind, causing their bodies to jerk forwards. Link grunted in pain as his wound flared up. "...Fine," he said, "If you're sure you can handle yourselves, I'll go."
"Thank you for understanding, Link," Zelda said. She carefully wrapped her arms around him and pulled him into a light embrace. "Be careful, alright?" Link nodded his head, let go of Zelda and turned to Impa.
"Where exactly am I going?"
"A country called Japan. The language is very similar to ours with a few minor changes. But that is about the only similarity. They have a much more modern culture than us, so I suggest you find new clothes to wear as soon as possible. Keep your weapons hidden. It's illegal to carry weapons without a permit. There will also be lot of technology that you have never heard of. Try to get used to it.
"Most children your age attend school so I suggest you enroll in some kind of public education. That way you will fit in better."
"Wait," Link interrupted, "where am I going to stay? By what you've said so far, it seems like the people won't allow random travelers in their house."
"That's something that you have to figure out on your own. Alright, I've told you everything I know. If any problems arise that we can help you with, contact us with the crystal. Other than that, my only advice is to use your best judgement. Don't go committing pot genocide, okay?" This earned a small laugh from Link and Zelda.
"I'll try to keep my murderous ways under control," he responded with a smirk.
"Link," Impa placed a hand on his shoulder. "are you ready?"
"Let's do it."
