Soren POV
Ashnard stared at me, and then he laughed… his image slowly changed into a woman's. She wore all black and she had long green hair.
"Soren… that's a wonderful name." she had said.
"Thank you. I'm sorry but will you please excuse me?" I had asked.
She nodded as she said, "yes, I'm sorry to have shouted out to you, I was confused."
"Don't worry about it. Now I best be going." I had stupidly said.
I remember her, Almedha. She was the Princess of Goldoa. She was… nice in a way. But they way she shouted to me… the way she looked at me… what can this mean…? I jerked upright… what a strange dream… it seems like in the last few days I've only been crying and sleeping.
"It wasn't a dream… it was a memory…" I whispered to myself.
"And he's officially insane."Bowser muttered.
"You alright? Bowser might cry if you die and I don't want to deal with that…so…" Ganondorf grumbled.
"I'm fine… I just remembered something… important about a women I met once." I replied.
"That's 'great' for you." Ganondorf sneered his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"What time is it?" I asked impatiently, I realized suddenly that I was on Ganondorfs bed…
Probably because he didn't want to haul my butt up to the top bunk. Not that I blame him, I'm probably fairly heavy… maybe… okay I'm probably really light.
"It's around noon." Bowser chirped.
"That means I have better things to do." Ganondorf grumbled, he turned and walked out the door.
"Okay, you have a fever so you should stay in bed." Bowser remarked, he smiled.
"Fine." I groaned, I did not like having to stay in bed for any reason.
A few minutes pasted and eventually I feel asleep… but my sleep was restless I kept twisting and turning and my head was so hot, that sleep itself seemed irritating. Soon I fell asleep, I woke up about every hour or so, I just felt like crap. Bowser had left, and it was just me. I guess I fell asleep because now I was hearing talking…
"Why didn't you tell me he was sick?"
"Because! You didn't even go looking for him!"
"So? I didn't know that he was missing! Otherwise, hell, I would have made a damn search party!"
"You don't give a shit about him, admit it!"
I slightly groaned. They stopped arguing. I felt a hand on my forehead.
"You alright?" A familiar voice whispered.
"Y-yes… I'm fine…" I mumbled even though it was a lie.
"No you aren't, be honest. Soren, I know you too well, you aren't feeling well. Though your fever has improved." The voice remarked.
The hand on my forehead pushed my hair out of my face
"Has it? I hardly noticed." I muttered, I opened my eyes.
"Soren, what happened? Bowser over there wouldn't tell me." Ike remarked.
I propped myself up slightly with my elbows.
"I…uh…" I let my voice drift off; I didn't know how to tell him.
"What is it Soren?" Ike asked, he smiled as he ruffled my hair.
"Well… I sort of fell asleep outside." I whispered, I felt myself blush.
"What! Soren how did you manage that?" Ike exclaimed, his smile grew.
I noticed that Bowser was leaving I guess he was who Ike had been yelling at.
"It's a long story…" I whispered.
"Your good at summaries, cut out the boring stuff though." Ike teased, he tweaked my cheek.
"Well… I'll tell you later, okay?" I muttered, I didn't want to tell him.
"Soren! Tell the truth! What happened?" Ike exclaimed.
"I uh… sort… of…well…I… I started… uh… crying…" My voice drifted off, I looked down.
"Why did you start crying? Soren that's so unlike you…" Ike muttered.
I looked up slowly.
"I… I just…I thought that you didn't… want me around you." I muttered, I quickly looked down.
"Soren. You aren't lying but you aren't telling the full truth either." Ike remarked, he crossed his arms.
"I don't want to talk about it okay? I just got a little emotional!" I snapped.
Ike was clearly taken aback by my outburst, "Okay… just know that I'm here for you if you need me. if you ever need a shoulder to cry on, I'm here."
Yeah right, honestly Ike? I'm not going to cry on your shoulder and you know that.
"Thanks for just letting it go. And I know that you're here for me... and I just want to…to thank you for also tolerating me." I whispered.
"Soren, you're my best friend, I don't tolerate you I like having you around. You're smart." Ike remarked, he grinned.
"Thanks for that. It really…uh… cheered me up." I muttered, I slightly smiled back.
"I'll see you later, okay? I promised Marth and Roy I'd spar with them." Ike muttered, he ruffled my hair as he walked away.
I smoothed my hair down, Ike could be so annoying. But… why would he practice with… with them? I guess in the long run I didn't compare to Roy and Marth. Maybe they were nice to Ike, maybe they understand him. They probably thought I was a freak, a burden Ike shouldn't carry, and what if I am? At least for now everything is okay. I laid down as I let out a sigh… maybe just maybe I could have a good dream. Of course I didn't. Ike was sitting on the grass, he was laughing. I walked over.
"Hi Ike." I whispered.
"Hi Soren… did I mention that I'm going to be king?" Ike laughed as he stood up.
"What? What on earth…?" I muttered.
"I asked Elincia to marry me. She said yes. Roy and Marth will be so impressed!" Ike gushed.
"What…?"
"Isn't it wonderful? It's like all of my friends are kings and nobles… a… besides you that is." Ike said with a nervous laugh.
"Ike…?"
"Listen, since I'm going to be king and all I think that maybe we should… uh…not hang out anymore. I mean you sort of ruin my image."
"What!" I hollered.
Suddenly Ike's image faded into Ganondorfs…?
"He doesn't care about you and he never will. He lies to you. He hates you. He thinks you of as a burden. Why do you keep him as a friend? He needs to be with his own kind, stuck up princes. You need someone like you, who that is… that's up to you." Ganondorf sneered, he crossed his arms.
