Upon entering castle town, I had this strange feeling in my stomach..
It was a feeling that could only be described as..
As...
Disgusted maybe? Blech. I hated seeing all of the excitement and happiness of the people in the daylight. Now that I can actually look to all of them, something was gnawing at me to look away. Trying to hide my disgust, I looked to the determined Green Link. I refused to walk behind him, I was tired of that, so I stalked right beside him. Knowing I was new to this land, he began explaining everything to me. The leader pointed out various shops and people that could assist us on our journey. I could really care less about the mask salesman or the girl who sold milk (but she was kinda cute..). Nonetheless, I really wanted to leave castle town. There was just to much... joy. There wasn't a lot wrong with joy I've realized, but I don't like to much of it. Red, for example, is way to annoying for me to really care about him. So much optimism in one place is just gross.
The group finally stopped at the bar for some food. I was the first to sit down, I plopped into the first seat I saw, also known as the closest seat to the entrance. This was obviously a designated area that they always came to. It was secluded to the back of the bar, and there were only four chairs, now five since Blue growled as he pulled in another. I probably took his seat, whatever, I'm ok with that. It was funny to watch him angry, I had to hide the smirk that had found its way onto my lips. Instead, I looked down at the map that was pinned onto the wood on the table, placing my elbows on top of it and pushing my cheeks back. Green waved a hand for "the usual", whatever that was. I just leaned and waited. Lissa decided to fly out of my pocket, joy.
"What is all of this?" she asked- no, she demanded the group to tell her.
"Well, this is our usual place to eat and figure out plans~" Red smiled and he held out his palm for her to sit into. The magenta fairy landed in his fingers and rested her wings. The red hero giggled and watched, finding a fairy, which he saw all the time, extremely interesting.
To the farthest right of our 'secluded area' on the wall, was a map of Hyrule, next to it, a message board. The message board held various letters asking for help due to the monsters that were running amuck. Bah, Hylians. Honestly, why can't they stand up and do thing for themselves? Instead, they sit back and wait for someone to rescue them. It's not only Hylians, it's really almost every species. They wait for those few people to do work for them. This is one of the many reasons why I resented Green. If you looked in his eyes, you could see his passion for this. His passion for doing other people's shit. But I mean, fighting that monster thing didn't feel too bad.. I'm sure if I weren't on top of it, I could've helped a bit more.
Green ripped a letter off the board. I guess there really wasn't discussion on what job they chose, as leader, all passes through him first. Whatever. The food he had gotten came to us. It was a strange finger-food fish dish.
"Try it out~!" Red had this bright grin. Sometimes I wonder if that smile was always a smile..
"If you don't like it, I can always get something else, but I'm sure you will." Green finished, pushing the plate to me. Way to interrupt my observations Hero-boy.
I examined the fish-like item. I dipped it in some strange orange looking sauce that was in the middle of the plate. I tasted this.. thing. But my Goddesses, light food was delicious! Whatever this was, I liked it.
I wasn't the only one, either. Vio was the next one to take a bite, that must've been his favorite thing on the menu.
Not even eating a bite, Green began his explanation, allowing the other three- now four-
to devour the snack he didn't even touch. "For our next mission, we'll be heading for Kakariko village." he stated. Observing the map.. that was a long journey. Blue's groan was very loud, he didn't want to take that kinda of trip, but was ignored by the other teammates.
"We'll spend the night at home, then go in the morning. We'll make it to the town at around three. We'll do our job, then head out from there." I didn't care that he hadn't had a bite. I was just eating at these.. fish-bite things. I've probably had most of the batch given to us.
"I'll be heading out to the library." Vio told them bluntly. "I'd like to grab a couple books on the situation, may I have the letter?" Green instantly handed him the plea note. The smart-ass just went to leave, not saying anything more.
"Can I join you?" I found myself asking. I didn't really have a reason to it, I just wanted to see.
"You may not." he said, slamming the door behind him. I slumped in my seat. How did I even consider him a friend? What made him my friend in the first place? Yeah, he deceived me, but he was mostly himself when no one was around. I guess I looked sad, because even Blue brought something up.
"Don't take it to heart, he's an ass." as a short-tempered hero idiotically mentioned. Should he really be talking as if he's NOT an ass? Oh well.
Red also brought a point up. "He likes to be alone a lot lately.." the boy had a sad sigh to him.
"He wasn't always like that." Blue mentioned, looking around on the ground. "Damn, that shadow is slacking." not seeing it, he was confused. "He's not here today."
"He's not...?" Red asked, looking around. The Red cladded hero looked around like a dog chasing his tail from his seat, soon he lifted the table cloth and looked under the table. "Shhhaaadddoooww" he called, questioning the location, not being able to find it. I felt a little flustered at the thought. They're looking for me? Cute. Oh well, they'll cope.
"That aside.." Green spoke. "We have our game plan, and we'll talk about what to do on the way. That said, let's get home and sleep."
"What about Violet?" It felt weird not calling him Vio, but I figured I should act oblivious to the name for a bit.
"Vio~" Red corrected, I simply nodded in his direction.
"He comes home when he's done, it'll only be an hour more I'm sure." Finalizing everything (even the final words), Green paid and left, the others following behind. I did it as if it were an instinct. Being behind him felt wrong, so I walked next to him again.
Once we actually got to their home, I just wanted to lay down, but these guys didn't stop, or at least Green didn't. He headed right for the weapons chest.
"We don't have many weapons left that you may want, but here are your choices." Green opened the chest. Looking in I saw a slingshot (boring), the lens of truth (useless), some pot (what?), wait a minute.. is this. It is. I picked up the item gently, I didn't want to break it. Its craftsmanship was perfect, it glistened against the moonlight that came through the window. These items were a rarity to come by. Finding people who actually forged such beautiful pieces was difficult, yet, these idiots had four. A glass bottle. Green noticed my curiosity and interest and chuckled about how I looked.
"Don't worry." he said, picking up another bottle. "We share these amongst ourselves. So that's not really the item you can choose for your special item." His tone was light, he was treating me like a friend. I tried to force away a smile.
The weapon I decided was this whip I found. It was held by an extremely durable rope with a claw at the end. This sharp claw could easily dig into wood, I could tell it'd be useful in more ways than one.
With that decided, everyone went to their respectful rooms. Green set up a bed on the couch for me, despite it being morbidly uncomfortable, I slept on it anyway. This day had been very exciting, I almost instantly passed out as if it were a cloud. My mind finally has a time to relax, and I can't remember the last time I had that chance. I was safe.
I dreamt of myself falling..down.. all I could see was the blue sky and clouds passing me. I wasn't flying like those dreams I had overheard Red talking about once, I was just falling to my death. For some reason, I didn't stir to wake up. I let it happen. Fear hadn't surged through me, only relaxation. I knew I was dreaming, and if I did die in this dream, I'd just wake up. Looking down, I saw the ground hurtling towards me, right before I hit it..
SLAM.
I sprung up from my spot in the living room. Ironically enough, that slam wasn't from my dream, it was Vio finally arriving home. If it weren't so dark, I would've checked the time.
"Hey bookworm." I said, figuring that would at least be ok since I, as Yellow, knew he read like it was a sport. But he didn't respond. He treated me as if I wasn't there and walked past me. How rude.
I nudged myself back into my uncomfortable state, trying to wander off to sleep again. The darkness I saw when I closed my eyes was soothing enough for me to finally get some real sleep, hopefully now undisturbed.
Again, I soon began to dream. This time, I was in darkness. I only knew I was asleep because there was a faint red light, and voices were heard.
"Master Haleus.." it was faint, and I continued to miss little pieces of it. "Kakariko...monster...dead...hero...castle..." it cut off. Suddenly, I was stirred awake. This short dream must've lasted hours, because once I opened my eyes, rays of sun had shown in once again. I sat up, needing to think instead of rest. Everyone else was still asleep, except for Red. He must've woken up early to cook for the entire group.
"Good morning, Yellow~!" he smiled brightly. I gagged, not only at his happy tone, but his use of that name. Couldn't there be something better? I bet Vio would come up with something cooler, but I'm sure he didn't give two shits about me.
"Morning" The tone I used was more tired than I had expected it to be. I was stirred to wake up twice, maybe I didn't get much sleep, maybe I got a lot, who knew? As Red cooked, I laid there with my eyes open, thinking. Was the monster going to try and kill the heroes? That's typical. Nothing we couldn't handle. But what about the castle? Maybe I should bring it up to Green.. no, that's a bad idea, they might get suspicious about my origins. I'll only mention it if it's brought up. Yeah, that sounds like a good plan.
Wait a minute, I'd just realized, where was Lissa this entire time? Once I finally had her in my head, I noticed she'd been sleeping at the other end of the couch, nudged restlessly into the pillow.
Good, at least I still had my bitch fairy.
Once everyone was awake, we sat at the table. Green had found an extra seat and squeezed me in with the others. Watching them squirm made it obvious to me that they weren't usually this close. Blue seemed pretty pissed, but eh, that's just funny. Once Lissa woke up, she flew to the table tiredly with a little yawn. Red enthusiastically handed her a plate, he made it special for her, little fairy portions with a little fairy cup he made.. how does this guy manage all of these tiny crafts? Geez..
Eventually we were all settled and ready to go. I have my whip in my adventure pouch, sword in hand, and my bottle in the pocket. I felt invincible with that thing. Green had a boomerang, Blue a mallet, Red a fire rod, and Vio a bow and arrow.
There's a funny thing about adventure pouches, they could hold as much as you wanted. They used a magic source around the top of the tie of the bag and shrinks all of your items. The more items you added, they smaller they got. The problem with that is once the items got to small, you could no longer find what you were looking for. This said, we only grabbed the essentials. Food, fishing rods, and a pan to cook the fish we caught with. It seemed as though we were ready for a camp out, but truthfully we were ready to defend out land.
