CHAPTER SIX: New Bonds and Old Friends

Cassius jerked as if stung when he heard his deceased cousin's name. He stared at the king for a moment before looking at the boy. The more he thought about it, the more he recognized the blonde hair and blue eyes.

As the room went silent, some understanding what the name meant, others utterly confused, the zircon pendant that Ayleth was still holding on to around her neck, began to glow. The blue-eyed teen whipped his head in the direction of the brilliant glow, while at same time Ayleth pulled it out.

Recognition burned in boy's eyes, and with a sudden snarl he leapt forward and snatched the gem from her. Almost immediately at the contact between it and him, the light burned brighter, blinding everyone in the Hall. A voice rumbled from the source.

"This child is one lost from long ago. Trust and love him and perhaps your world can be saved."

All heard the voice and understood it, however no one knew that different words were spoken to the boy himself. He heard:

"These people mean well Lone Sky. Don't worry about me. I may be gone from the physical realm, but I am hear with you. Don't be afraid, your sister and Epona are on their way."

Hesitantly Sky responded. "F-Faron?"

"Yes child"

"I'm scared. What's going on, what are these creatures? Will they hurt me? What will happen?" Slowly Sky began to get hysterical. "I'm so so scared Faron! I want to go home! Please let me go home!"

He continued to ramble on, not noticing that the light had faded and everyone was now looking at him while he stood still, tears streaming down his face.

"PLEASE!" he mentally screamed. "I CAN'T BEAR IT HERE! I WANT TO GO HOME! FARON, WHY AREN'T YOU ANSWERING ME?!"

No reply came, though the zircon glowed a gentle blue, and Sky could feel the conscious of the spirit gently circle around his before disappearing.

Unable to take it any longer, Sky fell to the floor, curled into a ball and began to cry. Cassius watched along with the others as the boy, now known to them as Link, sobbed alone. No one knew what to do; no one knew how to comfort a person who was supposed to be dead and who didn't act like a normal Hylian.

After the longest time, Cassius tentatively stepped forward. Reaching out he tried to comfort his kin, but flinched back when Link's head snapped up. For the briefest moment the emotion of pain and loneliness gleamed in his beautiful eyes before they steeled to icy shards and he growled ferociously.

"No," the captain choked out. "I want to help, you're the only family I've got left; what happened to you?"

But Link didn't answer, only flattened himself against the ground, never ceasing his sounds of threat.
