Hello everyone! I'm a little late but I'm back with a new chapter. Attending University will grant you some intense periods.
Thank you so much Fe girl and Lilyanna32 for reviewing! :D
Fe girl: Indeed! Why are Nintendo doing this to us?! xD They really love to scare us with creepy moons! I'm glad you loved the chapter. :3
Lilyanna32: Thank you so much for answering the question concerning my story! (You're the only one who did) it will help me with the storytelling as I continue the story. :) I'm glad you like the story so much! :3 To be there during a blood moon would be awfully scary to experience!
Thank you BlueStarFlower for favoring! :D

I don't own The Legend of Zelda, only this story idea.
Previously:
"Hey, are you alright?" He asked, he must have noticed how weary I was becoming. "You must be tired"
"Yes" I laughed faintly. I still felt shaky after the blood moon. And now when I started to relax, after everything that happened today, I felt how exhausted I really was.
"Let's camp here" he decided and that night we slept closer to each other than we had done before.
Next day we managed to wake up and departed early. The day was beautiful. We were thinking of riding back towards our original camp. Sadly it wouldn't be as secure anymore. Even if the monsters might not have moved back after me and Link departed from it, the blood moon had surely brought the defeated monsters back.
The blood moon… the horrible experience felt so distant now in the light of day. The wildlife and whole nature itself was thriving as we passed by. It was very different from last night.
Suddenly Link thought of something that would change our plans;
"I just realized that you should have your own horse too!" he said.
"I would love to!" I said excitedly.
"I'm just wondering if we should catch you one or if you should borrow one of mine?"
"Hmm… "
"I can guide you how to catch your own horse if you want, no problem" he offered.
I thought about it. I do have a lot of respect for them. A wild horse could be dangerous if threatened. They are big and can hurt you badly if they want to. How hard could it be to catch a wild horse? I came to a conclusion; I didn't feel like taking the risk of getting kicked by a wild horse today.
"Thanks, but lending one from you is fine for now, if that's alright" I said.
"Of course" he answered.
The day had greeted us with sunlight, but now clouds had started to gather, blocking out the sun. Casting the land in shadows. The air was humid, a silent promise of rain. And soon enough the first raindrops fell. First one. Then two. Then several. Link spurred his house to go faster along with the drops frequency.
I buried my face in his tunic as we went faster. Luckily for us it didn't take too long before we stumbled upon one of these small shelters that scattered the road now and then. He halted the horse and we hurried to take cover. It was kind of a blessing to get of the horse back. My whole body had started to hurt a while back since I wasn't used to riding for several hours, like he apparently was.
"We're lucky for once" Link grinned. "We didn't get entirely drenched" he said as he looked out over the landscape where rain now was beating down.
"Yeah…" I smiled and followed his gaze.
It didn't look like it would end soon, so we sat down close together. We talked about everything and nothing as we ate.
Link let out his damp hair, probably so it would dry quicker. For a moment I was stunned how cute he looked with his hair let out. The faint wind caught some strands, his hair framed his face perfectly. He was so handsome I found myself staring at him. I looked away, embarrassed at my blushing face. Luckily he didn't see it as he was too busy untangling a knot with his hand.
"I can help you!" I exclaimed after a while when I saw that he started to gather his hair to tie it into a ponytail once more. He looked surprised at the abrupt exclaim of mine, but then he smiled brightly.
"Sure!" He said and I got even closer to him. My heart picked up its pace as I dragged my fingers through his wonderful hair, collecting the strands to tie it. You wouldn't think that someone with a lifestyle of adventure and journeys would have hair so tended to, but he had. And the hair that moved between my fingers was surprisingly soft.
It took hours for the rain to pass, though it didn't feel like it since I had such good company. The evening was approaching as we finally could continue our trip. When we reached the closest stable darkness had started to fall. But that didn't stop us. I chose one of Link's horses, one with mild temperament but still rather quick and then he covered the basics for me. It wasn't hard; I was a quick learner since I had already seen him handle his horse many times by now.
We had just rode a short distance and was headed back towards the stable for the night when a strong light shone up the night sky. Another star falling! This one must have soared right over our heads. Its tail plummeting down someplace in front of us. Even when a faint beam was all that remained of its fall, a wide smile still lingered on my lips.
Link must have seen my excitement.
"You want to know what's on the end of it right? What do you say, should we go star hunting?"
"Really?"
"Of course!"
"Then what are we waiting for?" With a bright smile I urged my horse to run and I heard Link laugh behind me as he was quick to follow. Then and there we had decided to follow the fallen star.
I laughed in pure bliss as we dashed through the night. The stars and moon illuminating our path as we headed for the light beam, a beacon in the dark.
Thank you so much for reading! I'll be very happy if you want to answer the question: When you read my story, do you read it as a LinkxReader; you are Skye. Or do you see Skye solely as an OC? Vote in the poll in my profile or answer it in a review please. :)
Please favorite and follow too! It's what motivates me to continue! :3 Have a nice day/night and be well! ^^
