This will be a longer chapter. That is for sure. Next chapter will be flash back to the time Link and Talim traveling together. So here I go. Good luck for me.
Chapter 5: Meeting the Parents
Link looked down at his drink, feeling slightly better in telling Zelda what was bothering him for two days. The bartender and owner of the pub, Rubert as Link knew him by, finished serving another customer and walked over to Link.
"A lad, you seem to be in the hole," Rubert said, "Which you seem to have trouble coming out of."
"Yeah, Rubert" Link sighed, he could never guess how he knew these things.
"Link, where have you been this past year? Another one of your wild adventures, eh?"
"Yeah."
"Link, is there something bothering you?"
"Yeah."
"Link are you gay?"
"Ye- hey!" Rubert laughed. Link smiled a little, Rubert also knew how to cheer him.
"So, where did you go this time?"
"Another world." Link said without batting an eyelash.
"Uh…eh?"
"I went to another world, Rubert"
"I repeat what I said earlier."
"Do you remember the chaos last year?"
"Uh…yeah. Everyone does. It was the work of that evil bastard of a magician."
"Not this time. It was something else, an evil greater than that 'bastard of a magician'. It was a sword."
"A…sword."
"Yes, a sword. An evil sword with power far greater than any in this world, or in any other world." Rubert leaned over and touched Link's forehead.
"You don't seem to have a fever." He said. Link smiled a bit more.
"I speak the truth Rubert." He sighed again, "I also met a girl there."
"Really. What kind of girl?"
"This girl was like one of the goddesses."
"Mean?"
"No!" Link glared at Rupert, whom merely smiled. "She has a pure heart, she is really kind and gentle and…"
"Pretty?"
"Yeah…" Link almost said it dreamily, and he did. "She is something else. I tell you that." Suddenly, Link felt two pairs of arms hung around him.
"Look who we found." Link suddenly found himself being latched on by two girls he never met before.
"My my…It the 'hero of time'…Want a drink big boy?" Link only smile a little, embarrassed slightly.
"Sure." He simply said.
Few hours later-
Link looked at the two girls with pity. One was on the floor passed out; the other was barely hanging on to him. Link had not even finished his first drink when he walked in hours ago. He never likes to drink much.
"Ha..ha…you look funny…" the girl said before falling off her chair and hitting the floor. Link sighed once again, -Not much older that Talim-
"Talim never drinks, another reason I like her." He said out loud. Rubert, who was enjoying the scene, snapped his head to Link.
"Talim? I finally get a name. How long have this 'Talim' been traveling with you?"
"About a year." He said, his hands digging for some rupees
"And you like her?"
Link looked up, smiling slightly. "No." Rubert raised an eyebrow at his answer, but before he could question Link further, Link beat him to it. "No, I don't like her. I love her, with all my heart and soul." He drops some rupees and walked out of the pub.
Near Talim's village-
Zelda walked next to Talim, silence surrounding them, neither knowing what to say to one another.
"Well…"Zelda started "Have you and Link ever…done anything together." Talim turned her head and stared at her curiously.
"Well…we fought together." Zelda would have asked how many battles they have been through together, but kept her mouth shut. "Also, we hunted, cooked, and bathed together." Zelda now turned wide eye to her. –What! They bathed together!- "But Link always seemed relented to bathe for some reason." Talim said. She never knew that, in Zelda's world, it was considered that it was sacred for a man and woman to bath together when they were involved with one another. Talim turned to Zelda, just now noticing that she turned red.
"Why are you red?"
"Oh nothing." Zelda said quickly. Talim stopped and threw her blanket over Zelda's head.
"Hey!"
"Sorry, but when Link and I traveled. Many people thought he was a demon, so they tried to kill him. We only managed to get away most of the time."
"Oh. Okay then."
Talim's village appeared as they continued to walk and soon was standing on the outskirts of it.
"We are going to my Grandmother Kalana. She would let you stay until your time is up."
"Can we trust her?" Talim nodded.
"She is the elder of this village and can be the only other villager that can talk the wind." Zelda nodded, if Talim can trust her, so can she. Suddenly, something flew down and landed on Talim's shoulder.
"Alun! Did Grandmother Kalana let you out to find me?" Zelda eyes widen as she took a good look at the bird. –A hawk! They have hawks in this world! Ours died long ago when the Cuckoos came to be.-
"You have a hawk?" Zelda said softly, she reached out slowly to the bird and stroked it feather. It was beautiful creature in Zelda's eyes. Talim smiled at Zelda's surprise. "It's a Red-Tail. A rare breed here in the part of the world. I found him injured when I was walking in the hills."
"He is a beautiful animal." Talim smiled. "Come, we must speak to Kalana before time is up!" She grabbed Zelda's hand and rushed towards the Elder Kalana
Kalana's Home-
Sanput was dead tired, so when the door busted wide open with Talim running in with a person, he almost went into shock.
"Talim!" He ran up and hugged her. "We were worried about you. How come you did not tell us of your problem. This man from another world your grandmother speaks of." Talim turned to Kalana, who merely smiled and nodded. "Talim…you are growing up to fast for this old man." Kalana merely scoffed when he said old.
"When you reach my age, you will truly know the meaning of old." Lidi came into the room and hug her daughter.
"My baby girl is growing up." She cried, Talim merely blushed in embarrassment.
"Mother," Lidi let go of her daughter and Talim back away to the stranger, "Father. This is Zelda, Link's older sister." Both parents gave her and Kalana a questioning look.
"But I thought you said-"
"She is from another world. The gods there sent her here on her request, but she does not have much time." Talim reached up to pull the blanket off, but paused. "Do not be frighten be her appearance." She pulled it off, reveling Zelda her face. Both Sanput and Lidi eyes went straight for her ears.
"My…you got…big ears…er…." Zelda only smiled.
"Its okay, most people in my world has long ears. I am not the only one who looks like this though. Link's ears are a bit longer." Sanput reached over to his daughter and pulled her close.
"You did not tell me they were going to look like that." He said softly
"Father, do not mean so cruel. Link looks just like his sister, show some respect." She said back to him, causing him to go wide eye. Zelda clapped her hands together and and gave a huge smile.
"So where do I began?"
…..And I am spent. Okay that it. Go home now. Or go to another site or something. Also, I hear on the internet that there is going to be a crossover of the century or something. Namco is going up against Capcom in a game called Namco vs. Capcom. I saw a video from the 'suppose site' I have to say, it is the BOMB! It looks so cool.The site is fightersgeneration. com goto it and look for the link. They also have soul caliber characters, which are Mistrigui (spelling?) and Cassandra.
