To the dear reviewer who made themselves known as 'No' -
I suggest looking at the list of characters before going into the story and reviewing. If you have a problem with OCs, isn't it best for you to check in the list of characters if I've inserted 'OC', before marching on in here and typing away at your
keyboard? It'll save both my time and yours - I don't have to read your review, and you don't have to type the damn thing.
Also, you can't exactly tell me to 'try again' with my 'quite bland writing style', my writing style will change over time and when I expose myself to the writing styles of other authors. If anything, this part of your comment is the only thing that annoyed me, while I didn't even care about the rest of your rant.
So, try again, 'No.' Try to insult me, but you should know that I'll probably call you out on another chapter if you do so. I'm pretty sure you wanted your review to be some sort of deep argument, but it just made you look slightly ignorant. And by the way, 'run for your life'? Really? That's way too melodramatic. By the way, it's OCs for the price of NONE. I'm not going to take the main character of a franchise away, or ANY character from the game away.
Anyway, dear reader, go on ahead. Sorry for the inconvenience and hopefully I will not have to do this again. If this person wants to complain about this rant, I will not answer them. It's pointless if that is the case.
A knock on the door alerted the blacksmith's son, who perked his head up at the sound before grinning from ear to ear at the person that opened the door.
"Well, well. If it isn't Faith?"
"Nice to see you, Alex." Faith grumbled, closing the door behind her by kicking it lightly with her heel. She looked around the room before turning to the black haired male.
"I need you to fix this up." She said, walking toward the counter and unsheathing the blunt - and slightly dented - sword.
"That's it? Eh, this is child's play! I'll get it done in a few minutes. Go out and kill something or. . . I don't know. Just go and do something for the time being." He said, shooing her away with a giddy expression.
She raised her hands in surrender, "Fine, fine. Just don't mess it up even more." He heard the closing of a door before going about his work, that is, before someone practically threw the door open.
"Barnes, what the hell?" He said, jumping in shock. The bomb salesman looked around the shops frantically, waving his arms in panic. Barnes threw the mask he had open before yelling at the boy,
"Alex, you've gotta hear me out! I've got a very important customer right beyond my door, but she seems to have mistaken my bomb shop for your family's shop!" He exclaimed causing Alex to sigh and stand from his seat.
"Barnes, I don't really think you should freak out until and unless it's the Queen herself at your doorstep." Either way, he walked over to the male with his hands on his hips.
"She's the princess from some fancy-pants kingdom a ways south of Hyrule, ya doofus! She might as well be the Queen herself!" He yelled, hands yanking at his hair. Alex reached out to put the bomb salesman's hands back to his sides before telling him to stay there.
He ran a hand through his - already messy - hair before walking out of his home, slamming the door shut behind him.
The boy looked around the town and waved back at the Gorons that smiled and waved his way. The smile left his face almost instantly when he saw a girl in an overly fashionable dress - which was a sickening shade of pink - surrounded with guards and tapping her foot against the ground in impatience.
Alex froze in his tracks when a guard saw him eyeing the girl and the armored man tapped on the girl's shoulder. The girl snapped her vision toward the blacksmith's son before taking a step onto the road.
"Shouldn't you be working on that sword, Alex?" He tensed up at the hand on his shoulder before tearing his eyes away from the girl that was taking unusually large steps toward him - with her soldiers marching behind her.
"What the absolute hell did you do?" The hooded girl muttered, before grabbing his wrist and turning on her heel.
Alex could hear the girl barking orders behind them and slightly quickened his pace, almost over-taking Faith, who held his wrist in a firm grasp, as if afraid that he'll tumble over if she didn't hold him up.
The trudging of heavy footsteps against the dry and barren ground alerted the hazel eyed male. He was growing worried and curiosity seemed to be gnawing away at his mind. Who was this girl, and why were they running away from her?
The only way he'd find out, he supposed, was if they were able to get away from her before they get caught.
He hadn't even noticed the fact that while questions ran rabid around his head, the two of them had made their way into the back of the boy's home, where Barnes was currently inspecting the shelves and tables.
"Hello? Earth to Alex?" He shook his head and snapped himself out of his dazed state. Taking in his surroundings, he fixed his vision on the two people that visited him just minutes before.
He then recalled the last few events, snapping his vision toward the door, and wondering why the guards haven't broken into his humble home by now.
"She seems pretty important, doesn't she?" Barnes inquired, looking at Alex, who didn't utter a single word.
"She is important, and not-to-mention a royal pain as well."
"So she's royalty?"
"I don't think that's supposed to . . . " Faith sighed, shaking her head, "But, yeah. The princess of who-the-hell-knows-where."
"But of course, you don't care." Alex snorted, looking between the bomb salesman and the adventurer of sorts.
"I don't have much care for seductresses."
"Aren't you friends with one?" He retorted, a smug grin adorning his features.
"Doesn't mean she stole your heart means she's a seductress."
The smug look vanished from his face completely and was replaced with a flustered one.
"Great to have you here, Faith." He mumbled and the girl doubled over in fits of laughter.
Sorry that the actual chapter was short, but I needed to get my reply out here before I had the urge to add on more text to it - seeing that it is already very long.
i couldn't PM this 'No' since they were a guest, not a person with an actual profile.
I hope that I won't have to do this again later on, but for now, see ya.
