Chapter 17: History
As the days went by, I couldn't help but think of poor Aryll. After all, she knew about what was going on, but I had forbidden her from helping. I figured that it must have been driving her crazy. However, I knew that it was the right thing to do because nobody would have wanted her to get hurt. Unfortunately, I was snapped out of my thoughts by my teacher and I remembered that I was in history class.
"*sigh* Seriously, Link? PAY ATTENTION... or go to the office." At that, I nodded and started to actually pay attention to the teacher's lecture. Apparently, the unit that we were working on at that point was about folklore and stuff like that. The lecture, itself, actually did get interesting, though, when the teacher started talking about the founders of the kingdom.
"... and her name was Tetra. Now, she may have been the first queen of New Hyrule, but before that, she was actually a pirate captain. The thing is, that she wasn't alone; although she had a crew, she supposedly also had a hero on board, who helped to convince people that she would be a good queen. This hero was rumored to have had control over the wind, but not only is that crazy, but there was never any proof..."
My mind wandered off again at that. Everybody knew the name of the first queen, Tetra, but with my then-knowledge of the fact that she knew about the Master Sword, I began wondering if this supposed hero had anything to do with why I had go to the bottom of the sea to get mine. Eventually, I began wondering if the hero (who's name was supposedly 'lost to the wind', how ironic) had anything in common with me. After a while, I figured that I must not have had much in common with him, seeing as he was a legendary hero and I was just a regular person who was on a bit of an adventure. I brushed it off, though, when the bell rang, signaling that everyone could go home for the weekend.
I knew that throughout the week, I had prepared for everything so that we could just go without having to worry about anything. All that I had to do was pick up the other two Links and leave. Thus, I did just that and the other two had no problems. Sure, knight Link was a little bit reluctant to travel via car, but he didn't resist, knowing that it was the fastest mode of travel that there was. What none of us saw coming, though, was the appearance of Aryll, standing right next to the car as we approached it, with her hands behind her back.
