Well here's chapter 2. I'm still trying to figure out the website out. Also, the next chapter or two will be a bit chill and boring, but like I said before, IT WILL GET BETTER!!
Also, to people who have been here longer, do I have to put a disclaimer for every chapter? Sorry, and Thanks!
Enough blabbering, here's the chapter!
Link entered the small clearing in the forest where his house was. He had just returned the Master Sword to the Sacred Grove in Faron Province, which had been a hassle due to the fact that he could no longer warp. After dealing with that stupid Skull Kid and his endless army of puppets, not to mention losing a dear friend, Link wasn't really in the mood to celebrate.
When he saw the crowd of cheering Ordonians, he silently groaned. He put on a fake grin and waved at all those familiar people. The children ran up to him, yelling and asking him questions. Rusl shook Link's hand and nodded in a silent acknowledgment. Uli waved with one arm, the other holding a little baby girl. Bo, the mayor and father of Ilia, patted him in the back with so much force it nearly knocked him over, winked, and gave a half nod in Ilia's direction. Link managed a weak grin. Although he and Ilia had always been close, he had felt like a brother rather than lover to her. Looking at her grin just reminded him of Midna's playful smirk, and he felt a pang of hurt run through him. There are just some things, like defeating the King of Evil, saving a parallel world from destruction, conversing with the light spirits and goddesses of Hyrule, and taking form of a divine beast at will that two people(or Twili) bond over. Ilia walked over and gave him a hug.
"It's good to have you back. And...thanks for everything." She whispered in his ear, then gave him a kiss on the cheek. A burst of "Awws" erupted from the gathering of village folk.
"Thanks Ilia. It's wasn't that big of a deal." Link replied. He gave a sincere smile. He still cared for her.
"Um, yes it was! You saved everyone from those awful beasts and rescued the Princess. You're the Hero of Hyrule! You're so nonchalant about everything." Ilia protested, playfully slapping at his arm.
"Yeah, well..." Link didn't know how to respond. I'm not just the Hero of Hyrule, he thought, I'm the Hero of the Twilight too. Luckily, Fado invited them all to the Ranch to have a celebratory dinner. Everyone rushed back to their houses to prepare something to bring.
"I'll see you later, Link!" Ilia said, and winked. Gosh, being at that bar, Telma must have rubbed off on her. Link thought. He climed up the familiar wooden ladder and entered his old home. Though a bit dusty, everything was the same. Then he thought, what do I wear? During his adventure, he had no choice but the Hero's Clothes but now that summer had arrived, the heat was almost as bad as the Desert. Although, he thought, the mines were deadly.
He didn't know what the spirits had done with his Ordonian clothes after he'd been returned to human, but luckily he had an identical pair in his drawer.Link changed, and then began storing his weapons in the basement. Before he knew it, twilight had settled in Ordon. Link stepped outside his home and stood on the balcony. He closed his eyes and breathed in the cool air of the twilight, enjoying the orangey glow.
"We find it quite livable. I mean, is perpetual twilight really all that bad? Eee hee!"
Midna was right. Link thought. It is peaceful. And for the first time in nearly two days, Link felt a sense of happiness.
Well, I actually liked this chapter more than the last one. Comments and critique are extremely welcome!
