Author's Note:
Okay, just a couple of things I need to say.
I would like to congradulate HUNG DEAD SCREAMING for being the first reviewer!(Late, I know. :P) Thanks, I like the encouragement! And please review! I would like to know if all these hours I spend at the computer writing this fic paid off! Also I have to apologize, for not updating in a while! And, of course this LONG A/N. I try to maintain censorship with the more romantic scenes, and apoligize for some of the choppier moments in the story. (Namely chapter 6, and the kiss with Zelda)
This chapter was a bit different from the rest, and I hope you like the new style of this story.
Please review and tell me if you like the old or new.
Enjoy!
Everything hurt.
He couldn't move any part of his body.
He was bloody and wounded, arrows and daggers, long swords and clubs, a boy no older than thirteen lay in a one foot deep fountain, though there was no source of water, the water was more pure than an infant's heart.
The boy, had a green tunic on, with white leggings and an undershirt under it, he had two brown gauntlets and boots, and a Kokiri hat.
of coarse, that was when he was wearing his normal attire, was not in the only warrior against thousands of stalfos, and was not supposed to be dead.
Right now, he was wearing just his leggings, the right leg ripped, and a gash the same size as the rip, one of his boots had a hole in the top cuff area, and his left legging wasn't even there at all, just covering below the waist.
He had the bottom part of the tunic on, which was held on by a belt that was about to rip and fall off, the metal of the buckle was scratched and battered, and torn, just like the leggings. The rest of the tunic was missing, revealing his well toned muscles, as he was very muscular for his age. His undershirt was gone too. He had one gauntlet on his left hand, and it had a huge tear it, which was suprising, as the material was unbreakable. He had a huge wound in his shoulder, where he had been stabbed by a dark copy of himself, a stab in the gut of the same size as the shoulder, if not bigger, he had and arrow that pierced from the front of his stomach to his back. He had lots more cuts and bruises everywhere, and he had a sword that was still in his heart. It pierced through his whole body, and he was stained with blood everywhere. He had a gash that went the length of his face across his left eye, his bottom lip was bleeding badly, and his hair had blood staining it.
And this was a boy.
Not a man.
If you were to look at his face, you would think that something had sucked all the youth right out of him.
This boy was a legend.
He was the hero of time.
Every girl wanted him.
Every boy wanted to be him.
His name was Link.
--
The sun was just rising, so it was still dark out.
The cool breeze of the morning chilled Saria.
She and the last surviving Kokiri lay in the middle of Hyrule field.
The birds began to chirp, and the darkness slowly began to turn to light.
She looked at her home. It had been burnt down by stalfos, but why their home? They never hurt anyone.
Tears began stream down her face, but not just because her home was gone, it was Link.
He was killed trying to save the Kokiri. Saria tried to stop herself, but she had fallen in love with him.
The problem was that Saria was a kokiri.
Link was Hylian.
She would never die.
He did.
He would have grown old.
She wouldn't.
It would be normal for him to fall in love.
It wouldn't for Saria.
Link finally got the strength to open is eyes. He ached, bled, and hurt everywhere.
"Ah! You're awake!" A voice said. link didn't know who it was, so he tried to move his head, and ended up yelling in pain.
"Don't worry. It's the great fairy of love." The voice said, and Link saw the her move into his view.
"A-am-am I-I de-dead?" he managed to croak.
"No, my child, you are perfectly alive. Now, I have consulted with the goddesses and they have given me permision to give you a second chance. In other words, bring you back to life. Hold still, and I will heal you."
The great fairy held her hands up and golden beams shone down, and the crack in Link's gauntlet glowed a bright gold.
The sword in Link's chest dissapeared, and the the fairy spoke again.
"Now, I don't have time to heal those wounds, but I bestow upon you a gift, recieve, the celian sword and shield!"
Then, a silver sword appeared, and so did a silver shield. The sword had a blue hilt, and looked like the guilded sword.
The shield was a mirror shield, except with blue rims.
Then the fairy created a portal and sent Link in, as he left, he saw a dark figure appear, and stabbed the fairy in the back.
Link woke up on the ground.
He was in the kokiri forest.
The sight shocked him.
The forest lay as a flat field with ashes and small flames everywhere.
He slowely sat up, screaming in pain every inch of it.
He the got up on his feet, and saw his item bag still on his belt.
He used his right arm and pulled the goron tunic out, as the heat was intense.
He tried to put it on, but couldn't. The pain was too much. He looked down and ripped the arrow out of his stomach. Warm, wet blood came around the wound. He then began to slowly limp to the exit, moaning in pain with every step.
It was afternoon, and all of the Kokiri were hungry. Except for Saria. She didn't want to eat. She didn't see any reason to eat, now the Link was dead. She looked at the entrance to the forest and frowned. She just stared at it for a while. Then, a figure limped out of it. From the distance, it just looked like a man, and Saria couldn't make out any of his features, except he wasn't wearing an shirt.
Saria's heart began to pound.
Maybe it was-No. It couldn't be.
Link limped in hyrule field, not sure of where to go.
He reached into his bag, and found the ocarina.
He pulled it out, but to his dismay, it had shattered. He just kept limping towards the castle.
Then, he saw a small campsite. He decided to try to get help there.
The man limped closer to the Kokiri.
When he got close enough, Saria saw he had blond hair, and had a sword and shield on his back.
He got closer, and Saria looked. He had a very torn up Kokiri hat on.
That was a good enough sign to her.
She hopped up and ran towards the figure. She ran as fast as she could, and the figure saw her running.
At first, he drew his sword, then sheathed it quickly when he saw who it was.
Saria ran too fast, and ran into Link, causing them to tumble down.
Link cried in pain while Saria just giggled.
"You're alive!" She yelled, jumping on top of him and embracing him tightly.
"Y-ye-ah..."
Link replied, as he passed out.
