Hello guys! I didn't realize time had passed so quickly!
Thank you Stitchedheart17 and Makayla Servamp for favoring! :D
Thank you MountainRiver for following! :D
Thank you debbzpurple14 for favoring and following. And thank you so much for your lovely review! xD It's very nice of you. x3
Thank you Lilyanna32 for reviewing! Horses are awesome but sometimes they have a bad temperament. xD Links ponytail is so cute. x3 I remember finding my first shooting star, it was so fun~ I don't mind at all that you're pointing out mistakes. I always try to go back and find them. When I do find them I get really annoyed with myself… Thank you for helping me out. :3
Thank you Mirria1 for answering! It's nice to hear that my story isn't bad for an OC story x3 I think the biggest problem with reader stories is that it so incredible hard to make an OC that will fit everyone, especially in a longer story. It's essentially to give the character their own personality and identity to make the story flow. ^^
I don't own The Legend of Zelda, only this story idea.
Previously:
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.
It was amazing to gallop through the night. The wind blowing through my hair. The nocturne animals singing their melodies for us. Over us the dark sky was lit with thousands of millions of stars, lighting up our path along with the moon. The moon was big and bright like a second sun. Tonight it was at peace. Somewhere in front of us the light beam beaconed us over. Slowly but steadily we got closer to it.
We rode past some animals and even some monsters that were asleep. Luckily we didn't need to worry much; some of them didn't even wake up, while others woke with a startle. But no one had the energy to get up and chase after us while sleep deprived.
Soon we were so close that the beam was replaced with a bright light in front of us between the trees. Everything around us seemed to darken in the bright light and we dismounted the horses to approach it.
We carefully made our way over to it, thankful for the light it provided. Without something to lighten up the treacherous ground, a root would probably have ensnared one of us by now.
Once we made it there we hunched down too look at the shining little stone resting on the ground. It had soared through the sky only to plummet down here. Now it was seemingly sleeping from its long journey, but still alive with an otherworldly glow. I looked to Link who looked back at me with an encouraging smile and nodded. I slowly bent forward and picked it up. It illuminated our features as we studied it closely.
"It's a star fragment. You should keep it" he smiled.
I stared at the small crystal in my hand, happiness fizzling inside me. My first star fragment. I longed to find more of these rare treasures.
We wandered back in the cover of the trees. With the glowing fragment safe in my pocket we started to notice other lights. We were walking among fireflies that shone like tiny stars visiting the earth. It was very beautiful. It was a beautiful and magic moment.
Once back by the horses we secured the closest area and decided to sleep the rest of the night once we were convinced it was safe.
We sat down and rested our backs against a huge tree beside each other, a blanket enveloping us. I blushed as we moved closer together, our hands finding each other's and intertwined. We slept away the night until the suns warm rays greeted us to a new day.
The next day we noticed some ruins not too far from us. It had been to dark the night before for us to notice it. We decided to investigate it so we took our horses there and left them outside as we made our way inside.
It was an empty shell of its former self. We didn't find anything of much value. Many of the buildings had collapsed and it was mostly broken things shattered everywhere we looked. Fallen stonewalls and destroyed furniture. Nothing seemed to have made it whole. We went through previous doors and climbed over broken walls.
It was sad to see the destruction. I had little knowledge of what had happened here and what had caused its destruction. It was still a sadness in the air. It was even a little eerie and I was relieved we hadn't stumbled upon these ruins in the darkness of night.
We walked in a respectful silence, as if mourning the fate of this place. I cast a glance at Link, wondering what he was thinking. How much did he know about what had happened? What had those beautiful cerulean eyes seen? His once vivid eyes seemed dim and his expression hard to read. I got the feeling that he was suffering in silence. I wanted to comfort him. Tell him that he could talk to me about it if he wanted to.
We made our way over a low wall into what had once been a room. Looking around, he was currently walking in front of me. The only thing that I wanted to do at that moment was to embrace him. I tore my eyes of him as I felt my heart pick up in pace. A blush had probably started to cover my cheeks.
I was just about to walk the last distance to him when I noticed that a red laser beam was suddenly aimed at the side of his head, indicating a guardian has located its target. I didn't know much about guardians, but I knew enough to know what that signified.
I expected Link to notice immediately, but he didn't. The following seconds slowed down to what seemed like an eternity.
The end is closing in… Thank you so much for reading! I'll leave you with a little cliffhanger. xD
Please leave a review, favorite and follow! It would be awesome if you did. :3
Stay safe guys and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! :D
