Hey! I'm starting to get a mild case of writers block! So frustrating, but don't worry, I'm trying the best I can to overcome it. So if any chapter is starting to suck, you need to tell me ASAP! Thanks for reading and please review! Hopefully I still have it, enjoy!?
Zelda P.O.V
As I ran home I told Impa every thing that's happened so far, (Minus my outburst) and we started packing. We packed lightly, two cloaks, some cooking utensils, two bowls, spare clothes, blankets, pens/pencils, two notebooks, map, some rupees just in case, water and some food.
I promised last night that'd I'd get Link's girlfriend at any cost even if I'd have to die, because apparently it's all my fault that his pregnant girlfriend and her unborn baby is in danger and as much as I hate that bastard right now, I can't put the unborn baby in danger.
Maybe that's just my personality, but I don't think Malon is really that bad and no one deserves to be near Ganondorf. I pulled my hair up into a ponytail and picked out a light blue tank top with a white and navy blue striped blazer and shorts before looking out my window, looks like its time to meet the high tempered jerk.
Sighing, I walked out of my room and headed out back into the stables. My horse, Rosemarie was a flaxen chestnut colored thoroughbred horse, I've had her since I was seven.
"Hey Rosemarie, how are you?" I asked her, brushing her mane, it's been a while since I've ridden her, I love the feeling of the wind on my face, I feel so free. She nuzzled her nose to my cheek, causing me to laugh.
"Come on girl, were going on another adventure, but this time instead of Impa, will have an annoying jerk!" I gently led Rosemarie out of the stables and swung myself on. "To the museum!"
It took a total of five minutes to get there on horse, as we got closer I saw that Link wasn't there yet, figures as if he'd be up this early, he'll probably be another ten minutes before he gets here.
I tied Rosemarie by a tree and told her to stay while I climbed up the stairs to the museum, weird how museums are up at this time when most people are still sleeping. I waited another five minutes before I saw someone walking towards the museum.
Finally! I thought, turning around and walking into the museum, not waiting for him. I looked around the museum while he walked in. "Hello" I said, not looking at him.
"Hi" he said, "Why are we in the museum anyways?"
"Because, Rauru is going to talk to us"
"Who?"
"The Light Sage? Mr. Light? Our AP Legends and Hyrule History teacher? Ring a bell?" I asked rolling my eyes in exasperated at his obliviousness.
"Oh him, he's the Light Sage!?" he was turned around, looking at a painting of the Hero and the Master Sword so he couldn't see that Rauru just walked in. I was about to say something when he winked and gestured that I should stay quiet.
I nodded my head as I understood what he was about to do, "Yes, what other Sage of Light is there?" he asked, and Link must not be paying attention because he just continued talking like I had answered and not Rauru himself.
"Well I guess it makes sense he's so o-" Link started and Rauru cut him off.
"Wise? Powerful? Charming?" I tried not to laugh as Rauru continued to compliment himself.
"Well no, I was going to say o-" he turned around and saw that Rauru was standing behind him, "Oh, uh Hi Rauru how are you?" he asked, rubbing the back of his neck nervously as I tried not to burst out laughing.
"Wonderful, now what was that you were going to say?" he asked raising an eyebrow.
"Oh uh, um that you were uh" he looked at me pleadingly to help him out, I sighed, guess I couldn't leave him while he's in trouble.
"That you are outstanding, and wonderful to be by" I finished, Rauru smiled as he watched me help him out.
"Why thank you, now enough chit-chat lets get down to business" he led Link and I into a secret entryway, while we waited Link started talking.
"Um thanks for helping me out back there" he said giving me a friendly smile.
"No problem" I returned his smile.
"But I was going to say old"
"Yeah I kind of figured that out" the door opened and Rauru motioned for us to go in,we looked at each other before I shrugged and followed Rauru into the room. It was a large spacious room, with a large dinning room table in the middle.
In one of the chairs I could see Impa sitting there already. "Impa? What are you doing here?" confused I walked over to Impa.
"This my dear is where all the Sages will come after they have been set free, I am here, but you need to free my powers before I am a complete Sage." she explained, "Rauru kept his powers and I was sent to assist the King and Queen, the others were returned to their temples"
Links P.O.V
I watched as Zelda and Impa started talking, that is until Rauru came over to me, "Do you know what you are to do?"
"Not really, all I know is that I need to save my girlfriend, Malon"
"Ah, your still dating Malon.." he trailed of his expression masked, but his eyes were full of disappointment, "Is that truly what you want? Is there a reason why you want to, other than the fact that she's pregnant?"
"Well, we're dating and I love her"
"Do you? Do you truly love her?"
"Yes and I am going to do everything I can to save her" even as I said those things, something in me knew that I was lying, why do I feel this way? I love Malon, but what's holding me back?
"I'm sure you will find the answer to that soon enough young Hero" I nodded, knowing he was probably right. "You will go through a lot during this quest, but Zelda will be there to aid you"
Great I get a, bossy, rude and selfish princess with magical powers, it's not that I have something against Zelda, she just seems like someone who'd boss me around, making me do most of the work.
I bet the girl at school was just a cover-up, which made me angry every time I thought or saw her. "So what exactly will we be doing?" I asked storing those thoughts away for later.
"You guys will be traveling around looking for a total of twenty keys that you must find from the riddles that the protector give you to see if you are worthy enough to have them, than you will use those keys to unlock a door and go through whatever is behind that door.
You must choose the doors wisely, for if you choose the wrong one than your keys will break and you must start all over, the protector will give you new riddles and you'll have to find them in there new locations.
Behind the doors will be trials testing all kinds of things like courage, wisdom, strength, balance, stamina, and your senses. If you make it through the trials than you move on, but if you fail you shall be teleported back outside and will have to face similar test again as well as looking for the keys.
You can only try in the morning around noon, so once you fail you will have to wait a whole day before you can try again, so I suggest you find a place to stay close enough to the Temple. Understand?" that was a lot to take in but I guess it's also simple too, I nodded my head, storing the information in my head.
We joined Zelda and Impa at the table soon after, "Right now I will hive you a map with locations circled and names above it, those are the people you should seek out" he handed Zelda the map and I looked over her shoulder to take a look.
A wave of lavender and honey hit my face, such a sweet smell and it gives a warm and comfortable feeling, seems familiar but where? Wait- what am I thinking!? I brought my head back acting like I was done looking at it, and I saw Zelda relax in her seat a little.
Was she sitting rigidly or while I was 'looking' at the map and I didn't realize or was that just my imagination? "You guys should go now if your going to make it to Castle town by sundown" Impa said breaking my train of thought.
"Right" Zelda turned to me, "Come on Link, were traveling by horse, do you have one?"
"Yeah she's at Lon Lon Ranch" my horse was a chestnut colored horse named Epona, she was a wild horse brought in and it seemed like I was the only one who could control her so I bought her and she's currently staying at the Ranch.
I visit as much as I can, but with school and everything that's been going on I didn't visit this week. We walked out of the museum and I saw a horse with a flaxen chestnut color tied to a tree, waiting obediently for its master.
"Ready?" Zelda asked once we made it to the horse, "Oh, yeah, uh Link this is my horse Rosemarie, Rosemarie this is the one I'm talking about" Rosemarie looked at me before turning to Zelda and snorting, nodding her head and Zelda just laughed patting her head.
"Whats so funny?" I asked confused. But Zelda just shook her head and took my hand, before I knew it the feeling I had before came back like the time we got the Master Sword.
A little later, I found that we were at Lon Lon Ranch, I landed on my butt, while Zelda landed on her feet, and surprisingly Rosemarie was here too. "Warn me the next time you do this" I groaned and she helped me up.
"But than there wouldn't be a surprise" she said weakly, I turned to see that she was clutching her stomach slightly and leaning on Rosemarie for support.
"Hey, are you alright?" I asked slightly worried, I've never seen Zelda like this before.
"Just peachy, I teleported two Hylians and a horse, and I'm still alive and well. This is the first time I've teleported a horse plus two people, so I think I'm doing pretty well" she groaned slightly dropping onto the ground.
I reflectively caught her before she fell, she groaned again, "Remind me never to teleport so many things at once, Impa says its not good for the my magic core, that the consequences could be fatal" she mumbled quietly, closing her eyes.
"OK, we really need to rest, just wait here I'll talk to the owner" I gently laid her onto the ground before I got up, she looked really peaceful, like she was napping, Fuck! Now was not the time to be thinking about this!
I mentally slapped myself and turned to run to the house when Zelda spoke up, "Link, forget it, I'm fine just get Epona and come back, I'll be fine by than"
"Are you sure, because I know the ranchers"
"Yeah so do I, now go get your horse, the faster you do this the closer you'll get to freeing Malon" she reminded me.
"Oh yeah, I'll be back soon"
"Whatever" she mumbled, as I ran to the stables.
Zelda's P.O.V
Ah, Malon is all I need to say to get him to move faster. I thought as I began to weave in and out of consciousness, not that I had anything against Malon, just that I had a small crush on Link.
But I'm not sure about that now, he's been acting like a big pain in the you know where, I guess it's time to get up now. I sighed and sat up, wincing slightly in the process, I than felt something sharp poke my back.
I turned around an came face to face with a hideous green pig face, a moblin. I yelped in surprise and jumped away, "Shit!" I twirled around as green crystals swirled around me before it cleared and I turned into Sheik.
I saw that there was about ten moblins quickly surrounding me, Idiots, I smirked as they got closer raising their spears. When they got close I closed my eyes teleporting myself up onto the tree above them.
They looked around confused that I could disappear. Smiling I took out a couple of daggers that I kept in my secret pocket and threw it at the unsuspecting moblins, It hit three of them before teleporting behind the fourth one and slitting his throat.
Four down six to go, I saw another approaching me from behind and back flipped over him, I kicked him into another moblin as he turned around.
"Ah!" I turned around and saw that one of them had cut my arm while I was busy.
Damn it, I did a one-handed cartwheel walkover with my other arm, as they came closer, I pulled out another set of daggers and threw them. They managed to block them and continued to advance on me, while another set of moblins came, if this keeps up I won't make it that far. I thought bitterly.
I kicked their spears to the ground, and continued to use close combat on them being careful of my other arm. But it didn't do very much good, soon they were surrounding me.
When I thought that this was probably the end, I saw Link was fighting the moblings too. With new found hope I took out my dagger and started using that against them with new strength.
Once they were all died, he turned to me, "Who are you? And where's Zelda?" Oh, yeah I'm Sheik right now, he must think that I'm- before I could finish he must have taken my silence as if I did something to myself and he tackled me to the ground.
I groaned, "Nice to see you again too, Link" I said sarcastically.
"How do you know my- Wait Zelda?"
"One and only, now if your not going to let me go than..." the position we were in was kind of getting uncomfortable, his face was about five inches away. I closed my eyes and teleported out from under him and was instead next to him while he fell down due to the loss of support.
He yelped in surprise as he went down, "I thought you said you'd warn me before you teleported again"
"Sorry" I helped him up, "I'll try to remember that the next time" he nodded his head, accepting that answer.
"So, what's up with the outfit?"
"This, is Sheik, my alter-ego. You know for things I can't do as Zelda"
"So how do you change into your alter-ego? Is it like changing into a costume?"
"No" I laughed, "that'd take to long, it's a much faster process" I took a step back and twirled, the same green crystals swirled around me before disappearing and leaving Zelda in Shiek's place. "See? Quick and easy"
"Cool, Hey! Your bleeding!" he pointed at my arm and other various places where I got cut.
"Oh yeah," I winced the pain suddenly shooting up my arm. "Guess I kinda forgot about those" I said sheepishly.
"Here let me see it" before I could protest, saying that I was fine, he grabbed my arm causing me to wince at the contact and he muttered a sorry before inspecting my wounds.
I wonder if he knows how close we are!? Or that my heart rate just increased slightly? I started to drift into my own world of thought looking to the side and didn't notice that Link seemed to be thinking similarly and staring at me turning slightly red.
He finished soon after and as I turned to face him, I saw that he was (Still) looking at me. He quickly turned away, clearing his throat trying to act causal, "So, you ready to go?" I looked at him questionably, why was he acting so weird now?
I shrugged those questions off, for now at least and nodded my head. I saw his horse Epona, "Oh! She's such a beautiful horse!" I started to walk over to Epona.
"Wait! She's not good with people other than me!" Link tried to warn me, but I didn't listen, I continued to head towards Epona.
"Oh, she can't be so bad" I started humming 'Epona's Song' and gently and carefully started to pet her. She was startled at first but then settled down and started nuzzling closer to me. "See? She's so sweet," I giggled
Link stood there confused, "Thats weird, your the first person besides me not to get hurt when trying to approach her" he scratched his head in confusion.
"Guess that makes me special Huh?" I asked scratching Epona's head affectionally as she neigh'ed in response, I didn't notice that Link was smiling slightly at me and that he muttered In more ways than one.
"Well, should we get going or what?" He asked looking at the sky.
"Sure! To Castle Town to plan!" I skipped over to Rosemarie, expertly getting on. And with that we headed off, our adventure officially starting, as well as strange feelings, drama and fun!
Hope you liked that little ZeldaXLink moment! Yes, they are starting to realize that maybe the other person won't be that bad. Their adventure is starting and so is school! :( Goodbye three day weekend, hello torturous building full of homework! Help! Haha, anyways please R&R, I'd like to know if my writers block is changing the story at all! See you next time!
