I'm sick of short fanfics. So I think I'll make my average chapter longer. Read it all before review please! =3

Ignoring the mass distress in this cave that obviously meant nothing to me, I made my way to the river, dropped all of my weaponry, and scooped up a handful of nice cold water. Luckily, I saw the mass amount of dead fishes piled up in my hand before I rubbed it all over my face. The sight was sad, six dead fish, though none had a wound, I was sure they didn't die from the water, it looked so pure, you could see to the floor of this sparkling blue river. Right down to the little water-born plants the swayed back and forth. What could've caused all this? I thought as I dropped the fish back into its home.

My eyes scanned the surroundings, I needed somewhere to stay, and the sky was orange. I had gone through the village before, and that yielded nowhere to rest, so I thought it was about time to go to the city, an inviting castle-like entrance with a mote. Besides, that had been closed earlier, and I didn't know if I would ever get a chance to go back into it. So that was my next destination.

I waded through mass of grass that held me back, to the point where I'd have to weed it, luckily though beneath it, lay a bright red jewel, currency of the forest – and hopefully this town too. – So I might be able to buy something to eat while I'm in town.

The floor beneath me was plain rock, easy to walk on, flat and even slightly hard to get used to, compared to what I walk on. Besides the people I saw, and the dogs, there were no little bugs on the ground, in the air, and no fairies around either. I was starting to feel out of place, and lonely, actually, I felt like a completely different species, everyone was at least two times my height, except this one girl who stood at the other side.

A stand out hair-style of orange that parted over her eyes, and fell down her neck, which almost met the small of her back, bringing out the shine in her eyes, though she gave out an expression that she had been waiting for a while. It was simple, she was cute, even her name was cute. So I approached her.

"Hi there." Huh… Wait..

"Nice clothes you got there, from a forest?" I'm sure I said a third word… what was it…?

"…Hello?" Her hand flailed before my eyes.

"Oh! Sorry, what?" She giggled, now speaking slowly.

"Areeee…Youuu…frooom…theee..foreest?" Wow, she's forward.

"Yeah, how'd you know?" She hinted with a few quick glances at my clothing.

"Oh, right, are you from here?"

"Here? Oh no, I live at Lon Lon Ranch."

"Oh! In the centre of Hyrule Feild?" My knowledge of the two day walk kicked in.

"Mhmm, and now I'm just waiting for my lazy dad to get back, he's been gone for hours!"

"Oh, where'd he go?"

"Just delivering milk to the castle, I bet he's sleeping." What nice parenting.

"I'll get him for you, I've gotta go there anyway."

"Thanks, uh.."

"My name's L-."

"Fairy boy, my name is Malon." I prepared to complain at this comment, my name is Lin- Wait, Fairy boy? I don't have a fairy…

My sadness must've surfaced, because those bright eyes looked at me with empathy, I didn't like it, so I started walking. I heard a whisper, something about 'him' being 'cute'. But this was forgotten instantly due to the sight before me. The sun shined, it's light reached past the castle, making it seem ominous, it's shadow reached even me from this distance. I was in awe, and bumped into the man clad in armor.

"Sorry kid."

"No problem." I made my way around him, but he stood before me.

"I mean, Sorry, no entry."

"I need to see the King." I need to help Malon.

"No you don't. No one's allowed through, now get out of here."

He spoke as he shoved me back around the corner, away from the delicious view of the skies, I almost started to dislike the look of the earth.

That changed though, Malon was in there, with an egg in hand.

"While you're going there, can you give this to my dad?"

"Uh… Sure!" I couldn't say no if I wanted to.

"Thanks Fairy boy." That name made me sad, but paired with the thanks, it made me return the same innocent smile that she now gave me. Egg in hand now, I climbed a nearby cliff, to avoid the waiting guard, though it was difficult, it took very few tries, and eventually I made it to the top. A stone with a face painted on greeted me with the time of day, but I ignored it, and walked ahead. A few guards here and there, but nothing I couldn't sneak by.

So I made it to the castle, which wasn't as appealing up close, and just as Malon predicted, a man lay sleeping by the back door, where the river flowed from inside of the castle, to the mote just around the castle.

A crackle or two before the loud shriek of a Cucco came beneath me. Loud enough to wake the dead, [Though not to alert the guards.] the man sleeping before me jumped with a fright.

"What time is it!?!" The impending doom fell down on him as he realized his mistake, and sprinted off into the distance.

I discarded the chicken, and moved through the hole that led me to another garden, where a personal guard of the castle had been staring.

"Oi! Kid! What are you doing here?!" He made his way to me, reached his hand out, I flinched, and closed my eyes. But the hand never met me, instead of the gloved steel hand around my arm, I heard a strange sound, a fusion of thunder, and the crackle of a dried autumn leaf. Opening my eyes to a sight I never thought I would ever see. He was… teleporting between his grabbing motion, and a spot behind the shrubbery, looking away from me.

I reached out to touch the madness, to see if my sanity was still there, I never found out, but I knew now, he wasn't. It was just an image, some sort of trick. Maybe to scare off intruders, I was confused, so I just simply made my way through.

At the end, a girl waited, obviously she was the princess, but for some reason, I couldn't see her, she was there, but… she wasn't transparent, I saw her, but it was as if she was an outline in the world, an empty silhouette.

"Nice to see you again." A gloomy voice came from the 'shadow.'

"...Again?" She turned to me, I saw the sadness, even in her emptiness.

"Don't you remember?" I wondered if she was playing some sort of game.

"Hyrule is ending now, everything's going wrong." She gave out a sigh, a burden of the world was given to me, I felt I had to fix her sorrow, but I didn't get a chance to.

"Somebody help me!"

Guards came quickly, and following a few shoves, pulls, yanks and tackles, I found myself back in town, face into the rock.

I did NOT make ANY mis-calculations. You'll probably understand later. Don't question it! Not even the sun. And, I re-did Malon's conversation 15 times, and still, I'm not proud of it.

Malon will make more appearances, I promise.
