Cleansed With Blood
Chapter 1
"WE MADE IT!" I screamed. The castle crumbled down behind us with unnatural speed.
Link looked over at me with a face that described exaughstion. He leaned on his sword as if any movement would most likely knock him over.
He was bleeding from several spots as he raggedly tried to catch his breath. His eyes followed me as I walked up to him. He said nothing as we looked upon the rubble/. Damn he's hot. No! don't lose focus…
I turned to him
"Link I" I was cut short as his ears perked up and his finger went up to shush me.
We looked upon the rubble for another 30 seconds. The air stood still.
"Link we" this time I stopped. I heard it too.
Link sheathed his huge sword and whipped out his short version. Cautiously, He took a step forward with his shield raised to his chest.
The ground rumbled as the remains of the castle shifted about. Bursting through the rubble a man floated in mid air.
"Goddess damnit… ya just cant make it easy can ya…" I heard link mutter in front me.
The man started changing, shifting growing till it-
I awoke with a start. Light flooded the room illuminating it in an ethereal glow. Well actually that might be the see through blue sheets filtering the light. But it still looked cool.
"Oh uhh good morning Princess, I was about to wake you but…" Impa stood by the door "looks like ya beat me?"
I looked over across the room at her.
"Uh yeah I guess…" the dream was already fading but the man in green stuck in my mind as if carved out of stone. He looked so familiar yet I couldn't place him. Oh whatever, He's probably not even real. Besides I can back that up with the fact that he's everyth-
"Princess?" Impa was looking at me quizzically.
I looked at her and realized she had been talking all the while as I was thinking. I scanned my head for possible answers.
"Yeah that sounds great Impa!" I said enthusiastically
Impa looked at me for a second confused.
"You didn't hear a single thing I said did you?"
"Not a word" I replied
She sighed heavily.
"Ok stay with me this time, I said today's one of those oh so rare free days you love so much and listed a bunch of… oh hell it's your free day do what you want"
"Really now… This whole time, I thought those died or something" I said as sarcastically as possible"
"You could have it harder, besides its not my fault you work take that up with your father." she replied in a God-I-really-need-some-coffee-now! Tone
I knew enough to not piss her off when she's in that mood. And although she did have a point about it being harder. I might actually choose hardness over listening to people bitch non stop about their problems. When I was around 10, my father apparently thought I was wise beyond my years. He slapped me behind the judge's mantle and told me to sort out everyone's problems. Personally, I think he just doesn't like judging I've been judging since then and I have to say. I can not even begin to describe how boring it is.
"Now if you'll excuse me princess, I believe its Coffee time!" she said happily
"Yeah go ahead" I said mostly to myself seeing as how she was already halfway down the hall way. At this point, that stuff is an addiction for her… Now as I was alone with my thoughts, that mental picture of the man in green leaning on his huge sword kept popping up.
I got up from my bed and looked around. My room was extravagant but unfortunately made of stone. Of all the insulating materials on the face of this great green planet. Stone was not a personal favorite of mine. So as expected it was pretty damn cold when I got up. I did my usual routine without thinking. Impa came back right as I buttoned the last button. She seemed happier with a mug of the blessed elixir of life; Coffee does wonders to people in the morning.
I sat back down on my bed.
A silence pervaded and although it was not awkward, it felt pretty weird.
Impa looked at me expectantly. I stared blankly out my window.
"I haven't had a free day in so long I don't really know what to do…" I said at long last.
"Every time I give you some suggestion, I somehow get dragged into doing the one thing I rather not" she said while taking sips of coffee in between.
I smiled slightly as she talked. Today was going to be fun…
The air buzzed with magical energy as if the trees were alive with unnatural power. The forest swayed to a song of joyful happiness. A figure on horse back appeared out of the shadows of a log. He looked around to make sure he knew where he was. A fairy lazily floated out of his chest pocket.
The fairy looked around. It flew up to the figures eyes and spoke.
"You sure you know where your going link?
"Sani for the last time, I grew up here I don't get lost." He looked around muttering to himself. Throughout Links travels he never did find Navi, although he found an equally annoying fairy who immediately clinged to him. He didn't mind for some reason though.
"Oh of course now I know where I am!" Link proclaimed.
"Eh whatever let me back into you pocket…" as drifted slowly back to his top right button trying to move it.
"Ugh here…" he said unbuttoning it distractedly
"Just a little farther girl" he nudged Epona on. The grass crunched beneath her hooves as they went through another hollowed out log.
They came out the other side to the site of a pond with a pillar in the middle of it. Looking at the pond brought back memories of the forest temple, mostly of Mido trying to guard it as he yelled at him.
Wait… that yell wasn't imaginary…
He turned around to the sight of the 3 ft defender.
"I said you can't go in there!" Mido shouted resiliently. He crossed his arms in defiance while looking up at link.
Sani popped out of his pocket looking around excitedly.
"Oooh a fight where is it!" she said like a kid in a candy shop.
"Down… There…" I said a little stunned.
Mido looked up at me with a trace amount of shock.
"Are you trying to trick me? How stupid do you think I am? I-"
"Mido I think you are beyond stupid, in fact I feel like you've transcended to a whole new level of stupidity! Now if you would please get out of the way, it'd be a real treat to all of us here" I said with a slight tone of annoyance and reawakened hate. He is just an immature kid but I still have some long standing hate from times long past…
Mido looked shocked, stunned and fearful but still stood in front of the log.
"How do you know my name?" he finally asked.
"I met up with a kid named Link, now I'm not the kind of person to go deal with someone else's grudges. But I can tell you now your making your way up on my list of people to kill. Now if you'd like to hit the highly sought position of #1 by all means keep standing in front of me." I
Mido's already wide eyes took on a shape so big they looked like they might actually just fall out.
"Look, this should have been over a while ago. Will you or will you not let me pass?"
I started eyeing the pond…
"I can not let you through without knowing somebody inside." Mido declared with a fire in his eyes.
I dismounted.
" Well if that's the case…" I looked at the pond again. I thought about picking Mido up and throwing him in and walking through. I contemplated whipping out the ocarina instead… But I should… oh fuck that I like door #1.
I turned back to face Mido.
"Mido how'd you like to go a swim?
Authors Notes ugh its off to a really slow start, I'm sorry, and I can already tell I need to put a lot more descriptive writing in. But now adays the only time I get to write is at 12 so I'm a tired mother fucker and I'm hitting the sack! See ya all later.
Or not, one last note this is not a cross over but I'll be mentioning other lands like Azeroth, Termina, Albion, to name a few. Albion is from the game Fable which kicks some major ass and I would recommend getting if you like Zelda. Azeroth… well at this point you will either know some one or be the one playing World of Warcraft. I might throw in some Diablo 2 but I might not either way I'm logging now so see ya all in a bit.
