The Memories and Realizations "Huh? uh......sorry Malon.I did not mean to frighten you." 'His eyes, their so sencere.' "Oh! Don't worry about it! It's just you looked a little too pale.For a second there I thought, well...." She lowered her eyes to the floor and for a brief moment you could almost see a tear forming in her eyes.Eros pulled out his hand from under the bed sheet and grabbed her chin, to face him."You should not have worried like that over me.As you can see I am well, thanks to you.Please don't look sad, it makes me feel even worse for scaring you." She looked at him her eyes lit up a bit at the sudden touch of his hand against her face. She sat there for a while staring into his eyes that stared back at her's.She then realized that thay were getting a little too close and a faint blush started to creep onto her cheeks.
She backed away slowly and broke out into conversation before anything else happenned."So how are you feeling? Are you hungry? I brought breakfast if you want.Im not really sure if you like pancackes with egg and bacon on the side, but I can make smething else if you like?" She turned to hide her blush and headed for the tray of breakfast on the small table."Uh, no it's fine.I like pancackes.Besides even if I didn't like them with this stomach of mine I would still eat it."
He chuckled a bit and then sat up on the bed ready to eat."Oh! Ok in that case here."She set the tray of food on his lap and brought over a small jar of milk and a glass to pour it in."I hope you like milk with that."She said a little nervously.He looked up at her and nodded his head while he began to eat the pancackes. They started a small conversation while he ate and they talked about the ranch.They talked about the animals and the milk they produced.Then they began talking about him and he told tales of a few adventures he had been in.They began to talk about family, and Malon told him of her mother and how she died.Eros also told her of his mother and how she died.They seemed to daze out for a moment to try and picture themselves with their mother when they were little.Soon after she bid him farewell and she was off to do the rest of her chores.He just laid back down and rested for a moment and soon fell asleep again.
Meanwhile, outside with Malon her uncle came up to her and asked about the young man.They talked about him for a little while."So he's fine.He will live right?" Malon smiled and nodded her head."Well, I came to tell you Im off to Termina tommorrow morning.Take care of yourself now ya hear?I don't want to come back and find you hurt or something.And watch out for that young lad.He may be wounded but he still had a variety of weapons with him.And I don't care if he's an adventurer or what not, you just watch yourself!" "Yes, uncle.I will.Don't worry.It's getting pretty late so why don't you go and rest for tommorrow I'll finish up here."Ingo nodded and left for the house.She continued to do her chores and continued thinking about Eros.'Im not sure why but I feel like I know him.I feel like I can trust him even if he is a stranger.It might be just me but there is something about him.....oh well I better hurry and finish up before there is no more light outside.'
AT THE CASTLE-----
"WHAT!? What do you mean he took off!! And you let him go!? JUST LIKE THAT!? Without even warning me!? OH! That boy is going to be in big trouble as soon as I get back to Osirian.Quintus! Are you sure he left for Osirian last night?"The king asked his son's caretaker."Yes, milord.He said he didn't want to be a burden for Hyrules King but that he appreciated the hospitality anyway." "I see" The King turned and left to see the King of Hyrule to announce their departure for home.
"Pssst! Quintus!" a young man out of the corner of the room called out for the old man."Yes young Terry?" He asked."Is that true? Did the prince really leave?" The old man sighed and rolled his eyes, "Yes young Terry.He departed last night.Im sure he is in the castle already." "I see, what a rude prince! He should have at least said farewell to the King and princess." Quintus began to walk to the door."Yes well, you certainly have better manners eavesdroping on the King and I."He said sarcastically and left Terry alone in the King's quarters to think on his own.
Shortly after the discussion between the King and Quintus they all departed for Osirian.The King of Hyrule and the princess stood in the front door of the castle waving goodbye."I can't believe Link left without saying anything! But as soon as I get back he will have some explaining to do!No way!He is not going to get out of this explenation! Plus I need to tell him of his upcoming wedding plans." The king said to no one in particular inside the carriege.Quintus simply sat by his side and sighed.
BACK AT LON LON RANCH-------
'Whew! Today was really a busy day for me!' Malon thought as she headed back to her room.She climbed the stairs quietly and opened her door.As soon as she shut the door she slid to her knees with a sad look in her face.'Eight years.Eight years it has been since he left.No letter nor message has been sent.I wonder if he's still out there, somewhere having adventures and saving people.Link........my friend.My secret love.I wonder if you think of me.I wonder if....if ...your are still alive...'She sat up and walked to her dresser.She opened a small drawer and pulled out a small wooden box.She opened the box and took out an old looking piece of paper folded in half and titled 'To: Malon From: Link'
She slowly unfolded the paper and read,
Dear Mal,
I will miss you a lot.I am going on a new adventure outside of Hyrule.I need to find a friend of mine and I know the my friend is out there somewhere.I know we haven't spent much time together as we use to but I promise I will come back. In the meantime you can keep this as a reminder of me and our friendship.
Link
P.S. Thank you for letting me borrow Epona!
She closed the letter and a small tear rolled down he cheek.'Link, were are you?' She put the letter back and took out a small wooden pendant.She laughed a little remembering the Link had carved it out himself and tried to make it look like a flower.In the center of it read,' Link and Malon Friends Forever'
She put the pendant away and headed off to bed. She laid on her pillow thinking about how much Eros reminded her of Link."Eros, are you some ghost that has come to haunt me? Some ghost that has come to torture me? To remind me of Link? Are you?" She closed her eyes slowly and fell asleep thinking of Link.
