Ok its been awhile lol, and I edited some earlier chapters as well
-
The next morning Xato woke up to see his mother busying over breakfast. He was so
grateful to see her, what had happened really scared him and he needed the love and
comfort of his mother. "Mommy!" Xato yelled. Midna turned around to see her son, she
smiled yet Xato saw something sad in her look as well.
"Good morning Xato" Midna said kindly, a little too kindly. Xato looked at his mother
and saw a tear form near her eyes, she knew.
"Mommy…last nig-"
"We found out what happened," Midna interrupted "Your fathers talking to them right
now."
"Ok" Xato as he sat at the table, eating some of the fish.
"I'm really sorry that happened Xato…I never knew…" Midna said, Xato had never seen
his mother this sad before, he didn't like it; it made him feel sad himself. Xato finished
his fish and was starting on his eggs when he heard shouting, he couldn't tell what they
were saying but he recognized the voice as his fathers. Midna looked up at the sound of
Link's yelling, then went back to preparing more breakfast. Xato finished his and then
went to a corner and starting playing around with his toys, he was still in shock about
what happened last night, he didn't understand it at all; he decided to ask his mom.
"Mommy…why were the villagers mean to me, is it because I was a twili, do they do that
to you too?" he actually knew they never did this to his mom, but he was so confused that
he asked anyway.
"No they don't…..they did that to because they're so-" Midna stopped and threw a
furious look at the door, she was going to say stupid but didn't want to insult the people Link regarded as friends and family. She also didn't want to set a bad example for her
son, instead she said "confused…" at that moment Link walked in, like Midna Link was
showing a high intensity of emotion Xato had never seen before, in his case it was anger.
"So…what happened?" Midna asked timidly. Link didn't answer immediately.
"They said I should keep my 'monster son' in a cage with the rest of those 'horrors'" he
said looking at Midna, she knew "horrors" meant her people.
"And what did you say?" Midna asked. When Link answered it was in such an aggressive
way it sounded like he was a wolf growling
"I told them they a bunch of cowardly fools! I told them they were complete idiots to do
that to my son, after everything I did for them!" Link then turned to Xato. "And what
were you doing out at sunset, I told you clearly not to go out at sunset, I trusted you to be
by yourself and you completely betray me!" Xato was shocked, he knew what he did was
wrong but he couldn't believe his father would turn on him now, when he was so
emotionally distressed. They then heard another shouting voice, it was Rusls.
"Are they angry with us?" Midna asked scared.
"No that was Rusl, he was one of the very few who had sense, he actually stood up for
us." Link answered. Midna felt her respect for Rusl rising, she always liked him, he was
one of the few who would treat her like any other person.
"So they didn't all attack him?" Midna asked
"No" Link said "Rusl, Uli, Bo, Colin, and Ilia didn't attack….oh and Etai was asleep."
Authors Note: Etai is the daughter of Rusl and Uli, aka Colins sister.
"So only 5 attacked him then?" Midna asked
"No 9 attacked him" Link said "Pergie, Jaggle, Hanch, Sara, Fado, Malo, Talo, Talon,
even Korin attacked him."
"Colins son attacked him too!?" Midna asked in surprise.
"Ya I was shocked too, but Colin is taking some displine action" Link then turned to his
son again. "I heard you weren't completely innocent either, I heard you attacked them
with magic!"
"I didn't" Xato cried "I was just showing some tricks, all I hurt were pumpkins."
"Well I have two things to say to that, Xato" Link said "One, stop that because it's a
waste of food, and two I heard from the villagers you sent a shock wave which made
them fly several feet and hurt themselves." Xato then remembered how he lost control
"I'm sorry, I was angry and scared I couldn't control myself!"
"Why aren't you able to control yourself?" Link demanded. "I thought your mother and I
were teaching you!" Xato looked sadly at his mother who was shocked by Link's
behavior.
"Link you don't understand," Midna said "Twili at this
age usually don't have much
control of their powers, it should be expected for them to lose control." Link looked at
Midna, he didn't argue, he looked at his son again and said
"Well don't think your ok to be out at sunset now that they have seen you, I don't want
them freaking out over the fact that your part twili." Link paused and then said "I'm
going for a ride I will be back by dinner." And left.
"Mommy why is daddy so mad at me?" Xato asked.
"Well
your fathers known these people for a long time so he cares about
them."
"But its not fair, they attacked me, I'm his son, hes
supposed to love me and look out for
me."
"Xato
your father does love you" Midna said "It's just really
complicated right now, he's
known and loved this people for a long time and they were here first. I think he's mad
because he knows your right and he's upset his friends would do this."
"Are you mad at me mommy?" Xato asked
"I am disappointed that you didn't listen to us, but I am not that mad, no. You didn't
know what would happen, but I must warn you that public displays of magic shouldn't be
shown often; especially in front of the grown ups ok?"
"Ok mommy" Xato said. "Can I still play with the other kids?" Midna considered him for
a moment and then said
"Alright,
but be careful about the grown ups ok?"
"Ok mommy" Xato said
smiling
"I'm
really sorry, I think its my fault?"
"Whys it your fault,
mommy?"
"When you were just born I casually did magic in front
of you all the time. Your father
often spoke against it, he told me if you didn't grow up without being exposed to magic
you wouldn't have any concept of what "normal" is, I didn't listen and I did it
anyway….I'm sorry Xato please forgive me."
"Its ok mommy magic is fun" Xato said smiling some more, Midna smiled back. "I'm
going
to go play outside now ok mommy?"
"Ok but do as your father
said and come back by dusk, I think he's right, its better not to
scare
the villagers."
"But I didn't do anything wrong!" Xato
said
"I
know, Xato, but its still better if they aren't scared so please
come home in time."
"Ok, bye mommy"
"Bye Xato." Midna said. And with that Xato went outside to the pumpkin patch where
the kids were playing. Xato went to them completely forgetting that they attacked him,
there was someone else there this time, Etai. Xato didn't know Etai very well, she was a
year older than him, and was blond just her parents although her hair was a lighter blond,
and she was just a little taller than Xato. However at this moment Etai was the only one
who looked happy to see Xato, the other kids gave him a look of deep disgust. Xato
chose to ignore this and returned the smile Etai gave him, he then remembered that she
was the only person who hadn't seen him transform or attack him. He wasn't feeling very
welcome at the moment but he tried neverless to be friendly.
"Hey guys wanna play a game?" Xato asked. Everyone was silent for a moment, Etai was
about to speak when Talon interrupted her
"Go away Xato, nobody wants to play with you." Xato immediately decided that Talon
was a stupid brat and never liked him anyway. However it seemed that the children were
thinking along the same lines as Talon.
"Just go, Xato, your not wanted here, you're not wanted anywhere, you're a monster."
Malo said. With that Xato left, with tears in his eyes.
"That wasn't very nice…" Etai said after awhile
"You
didn't see him the other day, Etai" Korin said "Hes a
monster."
"He attacked us years ago before you were even
born." Malo said
" HE DID NOT!" Etai yelled, "My dad told me what really happened last night, he told
me that his skin changed colors and you guys all started beating him up, if anything
you're the monsters!"
"Etai I know what your thinking," Malo said "That hes innocent and he just looks
different
but like I said he attacked us years ago…I remember"
"Be
quite Malo, you don't know what your talking about!" Etai said
angrily, she was
sick of these kids being so mean to Xato. "My dad told me that story too and he said the
monsters that attacked where different looking and he told me that Link saved us all from
them."
"Ya whats your point?" Malo asked
"Link is Xato's dad!" Etai said impatiently
"It is true that Link saved us," Malo admitted "and he is Xatos dad but look at his
mother…she's the ruler of those monsters."
"Malo you don't know anything so be quite. My dad said he had been told by Link that
Xatos mom..." Etai paused, trying to remember her name "Midna helped Link save the
world,
my dad said I should respect her as much as him."
"Well your
dad is kinda weird…" Korin said
"Korin he's your grandpa so don't call him weird. You guys need to give Xato a chance
he
hasn't don't anything wrong."
"Ok arguing isn't going to
get us anywhere." Malo said "Etai I accept the fact that you
don't hate Xato, but you need to accept that I can't forgive him for what he has done."
Etai looked like she very much wanted to retaliate but she held her tongue and didn't say
anything else about the matter. Meanwhile Xato was crying and tell Midna what had
happened. Midna was a supportive parent and she cared about her son, but she wished
that he wouldn't tell her stuff like this, it always made her feel worse about herself and
feel helpless that she couldn't help her son.
"Xato" Midna said after awhile "Why don't you tell your father what you have told me?"
"He doesn't care," Xato said "And he doesn't know what its like for us to be attacked by
this
village."
"Xato you shouldn't be so judging on your father."
Midna said "He has been attacked by
this village, too they thought he was a monster at one time."
"They did…why? Xato asked
"He was a wolf, and he couldn't always transform on will, that was a gift he got later."
Midna said "So please don't judge your father too harshly he has gone through a lot of
bad things too and this is tough for him, so try to understand how he feels.
"Ok mommy I will"
