Chapter 6: "Into Hyrule Fields, the new Journey Starts Here"

Me: Hello again faithful readers, in this chapter I sort have had a mind block, so I don't think it's really that great. But I consider it to be a sort of in between and getting what you need, there's not a lot of comedy, and barely any drama. She gets what's she's missing, and continues. It's necessary for any plot so yeah.

Amanda: She does not own Zelda or any of its games.

(NOTE: When saying barely any comedy or drama, there is some, but not a lot)

I've never actually been out of Ordon Province's border before. I've never actually stepped into Faron Province before. Though it seemed that those areas were actually pretty much safer, compared to the rest of Hyrule. As soon, as I exited Faron, I ran to danger immediately at the footstep of Hyrule Fields.

When I turned the first narrow corner, I ran into a couple of Bokoblins. I was lucky, however, they didn't seem to see me. Instead, they were too busy fighting over a tiny mushroom, on the ground. Actually, fighting is an understatement. They were actually killing each other for it. At least that's what it seemed.

When I walked in sight of them, one of them was holding the fungus, and the other was wrestling him. Then suddenly the one, who held the thing, threw it aside (I'm guessing his friend insulted him rather badly in their own language). They both drew their weapons, and slashed at each other viciously. Then they exploded.

"Hmm, that was rather lucky (and slightly disturbing)."

"WAIT! AYUMI CHAN!" It sounded like Russel. I turned around, and looked behind me. It was Russel, and he was holding a sword. Uh oh, am I going to have to go back? Shoot. I thought.

"Ahh, Russel, nice to see you."

"Same for you too, what are you doing exactly? Are you out of your mind?" Grr, that's not the only time someone's said that to me.

"Maybe." I grumbled. I don't want to go back!

"You should have thought about getting a weapon before you decided to leave." That surprised me a bit. Usually Russel is a bit protective of me, though I don't know why. Well, actually, considering the amount of accidents I've had, it makes sense. Like, one time, I was attempting to climb Fado's house, because I offered to help him get rid of the Hylian Hornet's nest on top of the vine (to the roof). That was a pretty stupid thing to do actually. I climbed up the vine, with a stick in my mouth, and then swung as hard as I could at the nest.

Unfortunately, I missed, lost my balance, and fell. When I crashed, I shook the house, and the nest fell as well, landing next to me. I was the closest object-of-anger there, so they started flying at me, stinging me in places I didn't even know about. I tried running as fast as I could, past the cat, (who seemed like he was rather amused at the sight of me; though still stern). Russel came out of the house, as soon as I jumped into the water (He lectured me, accusing me of not thinking on plans on how to remove the nest without actually getting near it. I'm never doing that again, and I was so embarrassed when he told me that I could have used the hawk to do it.

"Er, I forgot about that part, but I didn't realize it until that Coro guy reminded me."

"Oh! Coro, how is the chump? Does he make better tasting soup now?"

"I wouldn't know, he seemed to be fine, I didn't notice any soup." I said, then I changed the subject, "Speaking of weapons, by any chance would that shiny sword be for me?" He nodded.

"I saw you sneaking from your house, and noticed you didn't have one, so I decided to bring it to you."

Wait a second. It occurred to me again, that Russel would never have let me on this journey in the first place.

"Wait, you saw me leaving, and you didn't stop me?"

"Yes." He blinked innocently.

"I would have thought you'd stop me, then lecture me about thinking, my safety, etc…"

He looked away at the ground.

"What?"

"Ahh, Ayumi san, I didn't want to. I had to let you go."

Oh joy, here we go again. Why didn't these people ever think of actually explaining, without me having to ask? Eck, it might seem suspenseful at first, but it gets old after a while and extremely annoying as well.

"Care to explain please?"

"Oh, right. Well, it seems that you are supposed to travel Hyrule and do some tasks. At least that's what the Ordon spirit told me. He didn't explain, so I don't know much of what He meant."

"Hm, ok, no need to reassure me any further."

I understood now. I knew I was supposed to leave! HA! Now Yoshimi doesn't have a good reason to keep me "safe" or whatever, and confine me in our peaceful, (yet boring, no offense to the Ordon spirit, but I'm sure He'd agree with me). Actually I've never really believed in those spirits, so he must have been hallucinating, still though, it's a sign. I replied:

"Oh! So He actually did speak to you? Wow, I've always thought it was just a myth." Since no one has ever seen a Spirit, especially communicating with Hylians, it has become a myth, though those times were still good stories to tell.

According to the legend, the Spirits were sent by the Goddesses, (Din, Farore, and Nayru), to protect Hyrule from the evil beings, set upon finding the, Golden Power (Otherwise known as the Triforce). When the Goddesses made Hyrule, they also, created the Triforce. It was said, that if one touches it, their deepest desire would come true.

That was also a problem. From what the legend says, when a being with a pure heart, touches it, the world will be at peace. When a being whose heart was evil touched it, Hyrule will be thrown into chaos. Life would decay, and all would suffer.

Anyways, there was a group of greedy people who was searching for the Golden Power.

The goddesses saw that they had to be stopped. So they sent Spirits into springs all around Hyrule, protecting it from evil. All the provinces of Hryule are named after them, each one named after the spirit who resided in its spring. The provinces were: Lanaryu, Ordon, Faron, and Elden. Since this event, the land has been at peace.

"No, the legend is true. The Spirits don't ever communicate with anyone unless it's important, or if Hyrule depends on it." Hmm, this was rather interesting, and if you think about it, kind of cheesy. "The world is in great danger! And only one can stop it!" That's very cheesy.

I laughed, "ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Russel looked at me like I was clueless, unbelieving, or crazy. Hmm, actually all three of those would fit. Crazy included.

"I'm sorry, but this is too unrealistically dramatic for my taste, haha."

"I'm serious, would I lie too you?" Pfft, I knew he wouldn't, but still, this is silly.

"Pah, I know you wouldn't but still, this is silly!" I couldn't think of anything else to say, so I just spoke my mind.

"I know, but fact is fact, however melodramatic it is."

I finally accepted his story.

"Alright I see your point." I admitted reluctantly.

He knows me that is for sure, because he looked at me all surprised like, but still pleased. I generally have a strong will, and I don't usually give up so easily. "What? I know I don't usually give up so easily, but I've always trusted you, I know you'd never lie, unless it's for a specific reason. If the Spirit hadn't told you this, and I tried to sneak out, you'd stop me, and lecture me; blabbering on about how dangerous the world was out there. Explaining that it would be suicidal if I went out there. Me, a young woman, just out of adolescence, so defenseless and fragile (Which I take as sexism by the way). You'd say, "There's still so much about Hyrule that you don't know about, and that you are not ready for, blah, blah, blah."

"So you do believe me? Interesting, I'm glad you understand…" he said, "Here you go."

I reached for the sword, but he pulled back.

"What?"

"I want you to promise me something."

"Ok, lay it on me."

"Please don't get yourself killed."

"Wow, my confidence is just rising, thank you." He didn't seem to catch the sarcasm in my voice, and beamed.

I reached for the sword, but he pulled it back again.

"Ahh, what is it this time?"

"I'm still not sure if I can trust you not to fall off a cliff or something."

"Sometimes, I think you take my clumsiness a little too literal. Trust me, I'll be fine."

"Alright, here you go." Once again I reached, and tried to take the blade from his hand, but his hand seemed to be glued to it, so I wrenched it out of his hand.

"Once again, you've got to trust me." He still looked doubtful, and I rolled my eyes. "See you sometime." As I left, I could feel his eyes on me.
