I listened to the wind whistling through the darkness, the sound getting louder and louder as a white light comes closer and closer. I suddenly woke up, shooting open my eyes and gasping. I rubbed my head thinking, it was just a dream. I sighed, getting dressed and grabbing my bags. I headed outside, equipping everything to Epona. All of a sudden I stumble, noticing someone hugging me from behind. "H-Huh?"
"...I'm going to miss you lots, Link."
I sighed and turned around, hugging Ilia back. "I'm sorry."
"I-It's okay Link." She sniffled, crying in my shoulder. "J-Just promise to visit me and everyone else every once in a while... Okay?"
I nodded and smiled halfheartedly. "I promise."
She pulled away; tears staining her cheeks.
I smiled and wiped her tears away with my thumb. "Everything will be okay. Don't worry..."
A weak smile appeared on her face. "Thank you, Link, for everything..."
I smiled back, before I began to hear a horse approaching. I turned to find Zelda there, smiling down at me. "Good morning, Link. Are you ready to go?"
I nodded and sighed, mounting Epona, looking back at everyone and waving. "Goodbye everyone... I'll make sure to visit." They waved and said their goodbyes back as I looked back at Zelda.
She smiled and headed towards the Castle. I followed her with Epona, excited yet saddened with the events of these two days. I couldn't help but blush in the presence of the Princess of Hyrule. I was honored that the Princess came to personally give me the job. I couldn't find it in me to turn her down, yet now I have leaving Ordon on my conscious. I decided to leave it alone and hope for the best turn out; it made it a lot easier when I saw the rebuilt castle. I looked up at the castle, my eyes filled with amazement. "T-This is huge!" I looked at Zelda, bursting with excitement. "This place is amazing..."
She let out a little chuckle. "Well, it is Hyrule Castle." She giggled at me.
I blushed realizing what an idiot I must look like. I looked away quietly following her to the court yard where she keeps the horses. I dismounted Epona rather embarrassed with my behavior.
Zelda dismounted her white mare and smiles kindly at me. "Shall I show you to your chambers?"
I nodded, putting on a smile; I followed her quietly as she led me up several stair cases and through many hallways until I got to a room near the top of a tower.
She gestured, opening the door and presenting the room. It was amazing.
She grinned. "This will be your room while you staying here. My room is right up those stairs." She gestured again.
I smiled and nodded. "I'll go get my bags."
She nodded back. "Would you like some help?"
"No, it's okay."
"Alright." She smiled bowing her head and leaving to her room.
I headed outside, getting my things and returning to my room, spending most of the day unpacking. Soon enough I heard knocking on my door. "Who is it?" I looked over my shoulder, at the door.
"It's Zelda." I could faintly hear her answer back behind the door.
I stood up. "Come in."
She opened the door and tilted her head. "You missed dinner. Are you not hungry?"
I laughed. "No not really. I don't eat much."
She smiled awkwardly. "Right, of course."
I finished putting away some things in the dressers and turned back to her. "Thank you again for the job." I smiled.
"Yes of course. It's better because this way I won't have tons of guards following me around where ever I go." She looked away from me, acting rather awkward.
I cleared my throat, glancing over at her. "So it's late. You should probably get some rest."
She flinched looking at me. "Oh yes, of course." As she left, I noticed a blush on her cheeks and smiled.
"Good night..." I smiled closing my door and heading to bed.
