Last Time
Link's eyes stared down at the bathroom carpet and his hands closed in fists on his thighs.
"You're beautiful..."
"Alright..."
"You're gorgeous..."
"Dark..."
"You're adorable..."
"I get it."
"You're cute," I chuckled, "especially when you get angry."
"Thank's Dark. I'll keep that in mind," he smiled gently.
Dark's POV
Right after we finished washing our clothes, Link and I left the bathroom and walked across our room. I dragged my feet on the carpet, feeling the heat in my toes and heel. After Link's little scene in the bathroom, he has been quiet. I feel a little awkward too. I pretty much poured out my feelings in there. I called him everything I always wanted to, but never built up the nerve to.
Link and I placed our clothes on the window. The cool night breeze blew into our room, sending shivers down my body. There was only a bit of warmth on my body. That was my arm where Link stood near, and my heart which pounded of excitement. I actually told Link how I feel. Well, kind of. I told him how I see him. I see him as a beautiful, adorable person.
"I'm going to bathe," Link said, pulling me from my thoughts. I nodded my head and Link smiled sweetly.
"I'll clean up a bit. We are quite messy people," I chuckled silently. Link smacked his lips and looked around the room.
"Yeah, guess," he closed his eyes and inhaled a deep breathe. I watched as the air built up in his chest and stood there for a while. His eyes were closed and his face pained, yet somehow relaxed. He let out the captured air and sighed, walking towards the bathroom. I watched him go inside and shut the door after him, leaving the room with a small thud. Everything was silent except for the gentle wind blowing, crickets, small chatter of people outside and the sound of Link and I. I looked around the room, trying to decide where I should start cleaning. I decided the bed is a good place to start.
Walking over to the bed, I pick up any fallen pillows and placed them at the head. I made sure to fluff every single one. I don't want Link's neck to hurt in the morning. I brought up the blankets and covers folding it out near the pillows. Smoothing out any wrinkles, I gathered any items around the bed. A couple of arrows and rupee's lay on the floor. Picking up the stray rupee's, I place them in Link's pouch, along with the arrows. I pulled the string on the pouch, closing it shut. I placed the pouch on a chair and sat down on the bed. There wasn't really clothes lying around. Those dirty ones were our only ones. It would have been smart to buy more. If we did, then maybe someone took them or they got lost. All I know is that they aren't here. What were are going to travel in, is beyond me. I looked over to the wet clothes lying near the window. Walking over, I touched the wet fabric, picking it up and inspecting the clothing. Link washed them pretty well, he could be like a maid.
Link a maid? I don't think so, I chuckled to myself. Link is the hero of Hyrule... or on his way to becoming the Hero. He would be hired to have any job on the spot. He was born to be one but you aren't a hero unless you actually do something. I hate people who say they aren't something, and then make fun of someone who is that thing. For example, if someone is great at sword fighting and another person is making fun of him for being good and calling them a show-off. That person shouldn't blame the other for excelling in Sword fighting or any other type of activity. They TRY. They practice and use up their time to actually excel in that. If you just sit and watch, making fun of them, then you should go. Go DO something. Those people annoy me. If you want to be a Hero, do something heroic, not make fun of Link or hate on him for not being able to choose his destiny. He wasn't able to, but everyone else has a chance to make their life.
I sighed and stared over at our gear. Something shined in the corner of our stuff. I cocked my head to the side curiously. Walking over to the strange silver light, I reached out, moving bomb bags and claw shots. My eyes widened at the sight. The Tree. The tree Link gave me in the memory of my childhood. It sprout a leaf. But it didn't look like a leaf at all. It was more like a petal. But that doesn't make sense? Petals on tree's? Tree's have leaves? What is even more peculiar is that the petal was silver. It shined like a piece of metal. It looks as if someone painted it. Reaching over, I gently placed the leaf in my hand. My fingers danced over the shining coat, awestruck at the soft touch.
A petal...
That looks like metal...
That rhymes, I chuckled to myself. But when did it grow? There weren't any leaves or petals on the tree the whole 7 years I've been there. Rubbing the petal roughly, I tried scraping off the metal shine but to no prevail. The metallic color must be real but it's so odd! I pulled gently on the petal, hoping it would tear off, but it wouldn't budge. It felt as if it was coming off... but the tree was pulling it back towards itself. Like the tree was a magnet... and the petal...
That makes sense.
Kind of
It's symbolic
But of what?
The tree is black like a magnet, and it attracts the petal. Magnets attract metal.. at the petal looks like metal.
Ouch my head hurts. Placing my hand on my forehead to ease the pain, I heard Link enter the room. I look over at him to behold a half naked, wet, steaming man. Droplets of water dripped down his chest, and dangled off his blonde strands of hair. His body shined as the light reflected off the water droplets.
"You okay? It looks like you've seen a ghost," Link chuckles. Taking another towel from the bathroom, he rubs the towel in his hair. I walk over to Link and grab the towel from him, continuing his job. Link's hands rested on my arms as I dried his hair.
"You're hot, Link," I casually stated. I regretted it immediately after I said that. My face turned bright red as I hoped Link didn't here what I just said.
"Yeah well I just took a hot shower so my body temperature and skin is pretty warm right now," he chuckled. I let out a silent sigh of relief at his clean mind, as I finished drying his hair. Link thanked me with a nod and draped the towel over his shoulders. I watched as he lied down on the bed, staring outside. I took the hint and headed inside the bathroom to also take a nice, hot bath.
-Time Skip -
Exiting the bathroom, I wiped the hot liquid off my face. The water dripped down my face in the same fashion it dripped down Link's earlier. My feet sank in the plush carpet as I walked over to the lying figure on the bed. Link lay there, clothed in only a towel. I smiled and walked around to bed. Kneeling down, I inspected his face and body. Link's face was as beautiful as ever and held a relaxed expression. His eyes were closed and his lips slightly parted. I tore my eyes away from his flawless face, and looked over at his chest which rose slowly up and down. I reached up and moved a stray, blonde lock of hair, moving it behind his ear. I chuckled as his ear slightly twitched, moving down and back up at again.
"You're sensitive there huh?" I chuckled, "I'll keep that in mind." I walked back around the bed and lied down next to Link. I ghosted my hand over Link's exposed body. Moving my hand up, I pet Link's head. I knotted my fingers in his hair gently so he doesn't wake up. I would messy up his hair, then fix it up. Move it to the right, then to the left. His hair was so soft. How can I get him to truly love me? I know that I started liking Link when he gave me my tree...
That's it! I should return the favor! I should get Link a tree to! Not a whole tree but a branch. Just like mine. But should I leave now? No... Link lived in a little village full of children. If a bunch of little children saw a tall, dark man walking into their village and taking a tree at night they would freak out. If I go during the morning, then only the early birds will see. Children without parents would most likely be running wild at night, playing games and chasing bugs.
Link usually wakes up late, for he is a late sleeper. I would guess he wakes up around 10 to 10:30. If I leave around 9, and warp there using Link's Ocarina, Id be back around 9:45, 10. Enough time to prepare the tree and and hide it somewhere to give to him later.
Then it's decided. I'll go tomorrow morning. I'm too tired now. Or maybe I should get it over with. I mean I would guess children are running around, but children get sleepy don't they? And children are known of being early risers. Maybe I should go now? I think that would be better... Then I can come back and sleep more. I sighed and stood up. I looked around the room for clothing. Any piece of clothing I could find. My clothing was still a little wet. I guess I have to choice. Walking over to the window, I put on my wet black tunic and tights. They were cold, sending shivers down my body. I walked over to the chair and picked up Link's pouch. Digging for the Ocarina, I took it out and smiled. I walked out of the room, gently closing the door behind me not to wake Link.
I placed the Ocarina on my lips and blew into the blue instrument. Moving my fingers on the holes, I played The Minuet of the Forest as a spur of blue spun around me. This was my 1st time warping alone and I hope everything goes well. I close my eyes as the room began to spin.
I closed my eyes as I felt as though I was floating in space. My legs lifted and my body seemed to float. A small ringing noise was audible but stopped suddenly when my feet touched solid ground. I opened my eyes to behold a forest. Near me, sat a small girl. Her hair was short and green, which matched her outfit. Her blue eyes eyes me curiously and a frown appeared on her face.
"I thought you were Link," she said sadly.
"I'm here to get something for Link..." I guess it makes sense somebody knows him. I mean he was born here. Her face lit up instantly and she hopped off a tree trunk.
"Really?!"
"Yeah, do you know where he lived?"
"YES! I CAN TAKE YOU TO HIS TREE HOUSE," she giggled, grabbing onto my hand, "Come on!" Her soft little hand held mine as she lead me through a forest. Each area lead off to a different one and had an annoying song playing over and over again.
"How do you know Link?"
"We met somewhere and now I'm helping him with his journey," I replied casually. I don't want to mention I'm a Ganon creation. Isn't she a guardian too?
"Why are you getting him something?"
"Well, he got me something and I want to return the favor."
"Oh."
As we walked through the forest, I observed my surroundings. The floor was covered in fresh green grass, bushes and tree's. Red, Blue and yellow flowers littered the ground giving off different scents. Each different area led off into 3 other places. How this little girl knows the way is beyond me. I guess she lived here long... with Link.
Link lived here. The idea was funny to me. The uptight Link was once a child. He once lived here happily and played with everyone. He had his own little house, and his own little friends.
"Were you one of Link's friends?"
"More like... Only friend."
"Only friend?"
"Link wasn't very popular. He was the only boy without a fairy. He was made fun of and the others would never let him play with us. He would ask nicely and stuff but they would still say no. Then he would run away crying into these woods.
"I would go after him. I always know where to find him. He hides in a little secret area. I would talk to him and we would go and play together. I was made fun of too but I had my whole childhood life ahead of me. Link grew. Unlike the other Kokiri children. Link would always get bigger and taller until one day he left. He came back a man," she chuckled silently.
I thought over her words as we entered the Kokiri village. The village was full of little houses, ponds, stores and games. A couple other Kokiri were running around, sending us weird glances. I just winked at them and laughed when they screamed and ran away. I knew this was going to happen. The girl stopped abruptly and let go of my hand, walking over to a tree. On top of the tree was a house, unlike the other ones which were on the ground.
"This was Link's house. We kept it up because we hope Link comes back someday. Everyone thinks he ran away because of the way he was treated. His Bullies cried a lot for him... He isn't forgotten, even after 7 years," She laughed, "So what did you want to get him?"
"A part of this tree."
"What?"
"I need a part of this tree, just a branch."
"Oh, I guess... that's fine. Since it's for Link..."
"SARIA!" a boy from far away called. We both looked over to see him motioning her forward with a couple of other children.
"Come play!"
"Oh! I'm Busy right now"
"You can go."
"Really?"
"Yeah, I just need a branch and I'll leave. Go play," I smiled. She returned the smile and started giggling as 'Saria' ran after the other children. They all started screaming as they broke out in a game of tag. I chuckled and looked over at the tree. Link used to live here. I wish I could see Link as a child. I bet he was adorable. I circled the tree trying to find a nice branch suitable for Link. It needs to be big... yet small so it doesn't take up much space
As I walked around, a white light caught my eyes. The light twinkled and sparkled. A small hum came from it as it flew around the tree. Was it a fairy? A fairy doesn't make noises... it just rings. This fairies mouth was open and it was singing. It slowed down when it reached a branch near me. The little fairy sat down and crossed her legs. She intertwined her arms in her hair, messing it up and then thrashing her head. When she lifted her head, her eyes met with mine. His fairy was exquisite. She had dark gray skin and wore a deep red dress. It flowed in every direction and moved like fire. Her hair was pitch black, long and wavy. It was messy and wild yet somehow looked breathtaking. The most intriguing thing about her was her eyes and her wings. Unlike her dark body, her eyes were white. More like a very pale blue. Her wings were big and black. They had weird patterns on them. I can't figure out if they are veins running through her wings or if it's just a design. The lines swirled and split up, giving her wings an interesting look.
"Well hello there..." I reached out. The fairy chuckled and flew up away from my touch. She circled around a branch. It was a nice branch. It had thick base, and a branch that seemed to curl out and back in, like a question mark. I reached over to the branch and brushed the smooth brown wood. It was a nice tree branch. It looks like a heart too. Half a heart... doesn't the branch Link gave me also half a heart?
"I should get this for Link," I stated, reaching back for my sword. The fairy smiled and started to shine brightly. Her singing was loud and her light was blinding but no one reacted. No one was even around. I ended up in a completely different area. There was water all around. Water flowed on the floor, rapidly moved on the sides and slowly dripped off a ceiling. I was in a box of water...
Little lights flew around and floated on the water and in the air. It was all silence except for the water dripping. The silence broke when the little fairy spun as she sang a song.
Up and down
Round and round
The cat and mouse chase
The Fairy spun around and bounced around the room
1,2,3
little tree
2 in just one base
She sang as she circled the branch on the tree.
Black and white
Out of sight
hidden in despair
The fairy froze and then dissapeared, leaving a ray of sparkles.
intertwined
connecting lines
a hidden, passionate care
A little song
sing it long
The world will then be clear
The voice continued, yet the fairy was no where to be found
Open eyes
no more lies
"Please don't shed a tear."
The fairies voice whispered from right behind me. I couldn't move to turn around for the water around the me turned to a rippling picture of Link. I stared, awestruck, as it showed Link's beautiful blue eyes. His lips curling up into a smile, revealing pearly white teeth. His adorable laugh filled the room as the fairy spun around in the center. Her figure slowly disappearing and sparkles taking her bodies place. The world exploded in colors and then turned pitch black. I snapped open my eyes to find me standing in the same spot, with my hand on the tree bark. A shiver went down my spine as the fairy sat on my hand and winked with her pale eyes. She disappeared.
I shuddered.
What was that all about? That poem? What does it mean? If this wasn't important... then why did it happen. Why that fairy? Why a picture of Link? I played the song over in my head as I cut the tree branch off. I smiled as it came off and I held the beautiful sculpture. It looks so whimsical. I chuckled. Link will surely love this. I chuckled again and back to Link.
Thanks for reading. This one is longer than expected. Oh well... I guess I'll switch off.

Oh and I really liked my description of the fairy so I drew her so you have a picture of her in your mind (;
Anyway remember this scene and think back to Link's. This was better written then Link's and I apologize for that. Link's should be similar to this one though. Anyway thanks for reading and in the next one shit gets intense so get ready!
