Well, after a week of anime binge watching, I think it's time to get down to business once again. My mini vacation may be over, but I'm still going strong! On to the second semester of school! Other than that, there's really not much to say other than review responses! :D First, to The Drone: I'm glad that you understand the light arrows, but as far as the blade of the master sword vs the hilt, there is a concrete explanation. You see, dark Link knew the blade was going to hurt... a lot. However, it was in knowing this that he prepared himself so that he wouldn't show any of the pain. The shock from the hilt was totally unexpected, so he showed it. I think that any good villain should have that ability. ;) Also, you don't want to banish him to the twilight realm because he'd go and mess with the twili! You want to banish him to the gap between dimensions with OoT's phantom ganon! :D Finally, about S. Link bottling up his feelings, Zelda knows that he's doing it, and she does want to comfort him. Unfortunately, he doesn't want to talk about it, so she's kind of at a loss. :/ Oh well, things'll get better... hopefully.
To the guest who didn't put in a name: Did you know that you can actually put in a name for yourself when you review, even if you don't have an account. Heck, that why I'm responding to some people in my author's notes. They're all people who don't have accounts! ;) Anyway, it seems as though you've already graduated collage/university, lol. Personally, I'll be going in for culinary arts and small business management. You can very well guess where that will lead. Also, thank you so much for your compliment. Honestly, characters are a bit more difficult for me to write than battle scenes, (because I'm mildly autistic) but I try my best. After all, my inspiration for writing comes from other people. However, it's not like what you would expect. Now, at the risk of sounding like a really snide little bitch, I only read the quality that I write and vicea versa. Honestly, I look at all of the other fanfictions out there, and I see so few that I would willingly read (I'm not into romance either, so regardless of the quality, I still ignore those ones). Frankly, it's rather annoying. My inspiration comes from the desire to have more good quality fanfiction out there. Stuff that isn't romance, has good grammar, has good spelling, and still has decent characters and development of said characters. *sigh* I know that I'm not perfect, but I also know that I'm better than some! This is clearly evident by the fact that I have reviewers like you, who compliment me by saying that only a good story really sucks them in like mine did. So, thank you. Thank you very, very much!
To Wizard Zorander: I'm not sure whether I should get involved in this conflict between you and the knight, but I will say 'Thank you for the compliment, and I hope you like this week's chapters'!
To Ziros the Knight: I'm not sure whether I should get involved in this conflict between you and the wizard, but I will say 'Thank you for at least taking the time to try reviewing. some people don't even do that, lol'!
Now, without further ado, I present chapters 64-66!
Chapter 64: Unfamiliar Emotions
Throughout the night of watching, I had thought about several things. First of all, I couldn't tell the other two Links exactly what dark Link had said to me. Mainly because I knew that I couldn't let them worry about me, like that. I understood that they were concerned about me. Heck, they were my best friends, on top of being alternate versions of myself! They had every right to be concerned.
However, I just couldn't let them worry about me. The much more useful members of the team didn't need that. Secondly, though, I had thought about just how useful I actually was. Dark Link deemed me as worthless, and my train of thought had followed that for a while. Yet, I knew that I was at least somewhat useful. After all, there were times that I had saved at least one of the other two.
I was fully aware that dark Link was probably just trying to get on my nerves, but the fact that I was the only one of the three of us who had ever gotten knocked out during a huge fight, only fueled what he said. In conclusion, I may not have been completely useless, but I was the weakest Link. My anger towards dark Link for making it this obvious became unmatched as my thoughts moved on. Thus, when William appeared in front of me inside of the chamber of the gods, and the other men appeared in front of the other two, one would be hard pressed to find any point where I was angrier!
Frankly, I didn't know until then that I, personally, was even capable of offensive emotions! Yet, there they were! I ran after the possessed William after saying my goodbyes to the other Links, only to have him turn a corner and completely disappear. I began to run around the area, looking for him. However, he simply couldn't be found!
I breathed a sigh. Partially of relief and partially of frustration. Almost instantly, nearly all of my anger melted away and the back of my mind was left wondering what the heck it was. Obviously, because I had never truly felt it like that before. With my time as an actual slave, I had blocked pretty much every single emotion that I could've felt. While, since meeting the other Links, I had at least learned to feel the more positive ones.
I leaned against the wall and simply slid down and into a sitting position because of the rush. The other two were so good at keeping their emotions under control because they had been allowed to have their emotions for most, if not all, of their lives up to then. Yet, my inexperience made me very overwhelmed. I sat there for what seemed like a few hours before my head cleared just enough for me to get up and head out.
When I got there, I forced myself to act as natural as possible as I told Zelda what happened.
