Chapter 4: ceremonies, Winged Triforce and changing of clothes
After dinner at Mayor Bo place, I stepped outside to think about what I just told them. Everyone seemed understanding and no one hated me. That's a start. The main reason I told them is because after everything Is over, I'll be leaving. Even though I don't want to, but hey that's life for you.
"You okay?" that guy that came with me asked
"Yeah I'm fine, I feel a lot better. Thank you"
"No problem that's what friends are for, right" he said with a small chuckle
"Friends huh? That would be nice. My name is Silver and yours?"I said extending my hand
"Kiba, nice to meet you kiddo" he said while shaking it.
"Kiddo? I'm not a little kid"
"Oh? then how old are you?" he asked raising a eyebrow and a smirk plastered on
"I'm 19 buddy don't forget it"
"What? Your that old? I thought you were 16 or at least 17" the look on his face was priceless.
"How old are you then?"
"Me I'm 21 so to me your still a little kid. Well more like a little sister" he said with a boyish grin "I also want to thank you for saving my life and bring me along, because of you I was able to meet a very special little lady."
"Ah . . . err no problem?" how am I supposed to respond to that?
"I think we should go inside, there probably wondering where we went." He said while getting up and offering me a hand.
"Okay" as we stepped inside the house Ilia and Link rushed toward us.
"Where were you guys? I was worried about you two!" Ilia said with a very worried expression and she was hugging Kiba
"We were out-" Kiba tried to explain but Link cut him off
"You weren't thinking about running away now were you" Link said while grabbing my shoulders and forcing me to face him.
"No I was out-" I tried to explain but Ilia cut me off
"No! Don't even think about running away! we all like you, and I finally have a female friend around my age"
"She wasn't runnin-" Kiba tried once more but Link interrupted once again
"Please don't go. Stay her in the village we will all take care of you, you wouldn't feel lonely any more" Link said while hugging me
"Thank you, but I wasn't trying to esc-" I was interrupted again but not my Ilia. Oh no, this time it was her father. You know what I give up. I quite. There no point in talking if all I do is get interrupted.
"Kiba my boy you can stay at my house and Silver you can stay at Links house. How does that sound to you two?" Bo asked us
"Great!" Link and Ilia choired together while still holding on to us. Kiba and I just sighed. There is no point in arguing.
"Let's go Silver" Link said while pulling my arm and guiding me toward the door. "Good night everyone" he said as we walked out
"Goodnight" I also said before the door closed
"What's the rush Link?" he is walking in a very fast pace and at some point he stared to drag me behind. My arm feels like it's going to come off.
"Are you mad at me? Did I do something wrong?"
"No, I was just . . . I was scared that you would want to run off on your own." He said while going into a walk now
"Where would I go? I'm not from here"
"Now that you mention it, you did have strange clothes on" he said while looking away with a slight pink tent on his face. The moon light lit up some of his face. Other than the little light there is, it is hard to see.
"Did have?" I said more to myself than him. Looking down at my own clothes I found out that I'm in a big white shirt and bandages are wrapped all over my chest. I still have on my pant, that's the main reason why I didn't notice. That's after all where I pulled out my cell phone.
"*Gasp* my clothes! when did they change? Who changed me? It wasn't you was it?" I said while feeling my face heat up.
"Err Uli changed you. I just . . . supported you. I didn't look or see anything." he said while getting even redder
"Okay . . . thanks I guess." I said while looking at him climbing the ladder to his house.
"No problem. What is your relationship with Kiba?" he asked while waiting for me to get up.
"I have noon really, I just meet him today. Other than that are complete strangers, although I would like to be his friend." I said while stepping inside with Link behind me.
"I see that's good" Link said with a big smile on his face
Tilting my head to the side "and why is that a good thing?"
"Well my best friend seems to like him"
"Oh, Ilia does seem to cling to him"
"I just hope Kiba likes Ilia."
"I think that he likes her" I said recalling what Kiba said earlier
Raising an eyebrow Link asked "why do you say that? Did he tell you?"
"Who knows" I said while lying down on the rug. "You should ask Kiba maybe he'll tell you"
"Do you honestly think that he'll tell me? We have only just meet" Link said while covering me with a blanket
"True but it doesn't take long to become friends. Even if he doesn't tell you, it's kind of noticeable that he likes her." I tugged the blanked closer to me.
"Hey Link how old are you?"
"18 and you?"
"19"
"No you're not, your 16 or maybe 17. Not 19"
"Hey I am 19; I turned 19 a few months back."
"You don't look 19, then that means that next year you are officially an adult"
"Is that something special?"
"Well here in Hyrule at the age of 18 there is a coming of age ceremony, most of the times they are already engaged or has a fiancé. At the age of 20 is when you become an adult and have a big ceremony and a banquette after words. Then you get ready for your wedding at the age of 21."
"Wow, where I'm from you are an official adult at the age of 21. That's when you can drink and go to clubs and bars. At that age you don't even think about getting married all you want to do is have fun. People usually get married after their 23."
"Really at the age of 23 most people here already have their first child and are settled down"
"So does that mean that you had a ceremony and have a fiancé? Are getting married to Ilia?" I just had to ask.
"Ceremony are only held for girls, but I was supposed to marry Ilia"
"Oh" I felt my smile drop a little
"But now she likes your friend Kiba." Link carried on
"If you want I can get Kiba to stop being around Ilia so you can still be her number one guy"
"No it's fine; I don't like Ilia that way. We grew up together so were only best friends. Nothing more"
"I see" I answer while closing my eyes
"Goodnight silver" he said while climbing up the stairs
"Goodnight Link" with that I immediately fell asleep
/././././././././././././.
I woke up by the bright sun light being in my face, and the smell of eggs and bacon. What a wonderful way to start off the day. Well at least that's how I wanted to start off, but instead I got someone shout a loud "Hey" after that I heard the door close. 'Is that my dad yelling?'
I opened my eyes expecting to see the white ceiling of my room like every other day, and then start getting ready to go to college, but I didn't.
"Where am I?" I asked to no one in particular
"This isn't my room" I said while looking around "Err this isn't even my house"
"You're at the hero's house" a familiar female voice said
"Hero's house"
"Yes, you're at Links house, don't you remember?" the same voice said then three ladies appeared in front of me.
"You mean that it wasn't all a dream? I'm in a video game! I'm stuck in a world without technology and internet! Oh no! No more YouTube! No more texting! No more T.V! Well the last two I can live without. But still no more internet!"
"Calm down why are you panicking today? You did some of that yesterday" Farore said
"Well I didn't get to finish my rant yesterday so why not today? also are you sure I can handle it?"
"Do not worry little one we have chosen you because you can help the hero" Nayru told me
"The quest that you knowledge of, is only half of it. There will be other paths and challenges that both you and the hero will face. New and old faces will resurface; it is up to the both of you to determine who is friend and who is foe." Den spoke
"Okay"
"You are the barer of the Winged Triforce. You who were not born in the land of Hyrule can be the only one to barer this symbol. The Winged Triforce is located on your back."Nayru said
"why not my hand?"
"the reason for that is .."
"Hey Silver are you up?" I heard Ilia voice from outside
"Go now we will see each other some other time." And with that, they disappeared.
"but you didn't answer my question" I said with a pouting face
"Good morning Silver." Ilia greeted me as I stepped out of the house.
"Morning Ilia, so what brings you here today?"
"Why don't we go and find you something to wear and talk?" I hope that she is a nice, and that it's not just an act
"That sounds like a plan, let's go" I said while looking at the big shirt that I have on
"Follow me, I should have something for you" she said while walking toward her house.
"Um Silver what is your… ah… relationship with Kiba?" Ilia asked with small blush on her face
"With Kiba, I really don't have anything with him. I only meet him when we were getting attacked and that it. I guise that we can be friends. Why?"
"Oh no reason"
"Hum…Okay, so what is your relationship with Link. He told me that you guy are going to get married."
"What no! We're just best friends and we're not getting married"
"Why is that? Unless you like somebody else?" I couldn't help but let a sly grin come across my face.
"No!... No I don't." o' oh her face is red.
"Don't lie I know that you like Kiba. Even Link your best friend can tell."I saw her tense up and a big frown came across her red face.
"Don't worry Link isn't hurt that you like someone else."I know, everyone is thinking why am I being nice to her. Well the reason is that she isn't so bad, she is just as much fun to make fun of as Link.
"So… Ilia did you tell Kiba yet?"
"Tell him what?" she replied while going red as a tomato. 'Oh I'm having too much fun, it must be a sin having this much fun. Meh I'm evil, so what."
"You know what I mean, your flustered face deceives what you're saying." I do believe that she got even redder.
"Hello Ilia, Silver" well speak of the devil, there's the guy that we were talking about with Linky boy behind him.
"Mourning" Link grated us
"Good morning Kiba, Link" I said
"Mourning" Ilia said quietly with her head down trying to hide her face
"What's wrong with Ilia her face is red" Linky boy said. Nice going Link now you made Ilia face super duper red, I think I can see steam from her. I tried to hold in my laugh, I really did but in the end I couldn't hold it any longer.
"Ahahahaha, oww hehehe…my side… hahaha… hurts…hahaha…it hurts…"at this point in time I'm holding on to the rail for dear life. Man back home I was the clean one that everyone wanted to taint with bad thing and ideas. Now I'm the dirty minded one here that will taint the others. Now I know why they like to tease me.
"Silver stop it, please" Ilia pleaded while still saying red. The boys are looking over at me like I lost my mind. 'They have no idea'
"What are you girls talking about?" Kiba asked with a bemused face
"Well we were talking about y-" I would finish, if it weren't for Ilia hand.
"ahaha, we were talking about getting Silver a new set of clothes, come on lets go." Man she may look small but she sure is strong when she wants to be.
"Okay, you guys go on and do your thing?"I said before the door closed
"Don't tell Kiba anything please."
"Fine by me, and by the way I don't like dresses" yes I am just like every other girl in the Fanfic I dislike dresses with a passion, oh I also don't like skirts.
"Okay, I'll see what I can find" two minutes later and 90 dress scattered all over the floor. I'm pretty sure that I grew roots and merged with the wall from pure boredom.
"I found it!" Ilia shouted while doing a good job from getting out of my trance. Spinning around and throwing at me the clothes.
"Put them on, I have to look for something else I'll be right back" with that said she walked out the room
"Okay?" struggling to put it on, I then open the door to let Ilia in.
"Wow it looks good on you. Here you go this go with the outfit." She said while giving me a long white cloth, my cell phone and headphones, and the sword I used to kill the big bird.
"This isn't my sword, its Kiba's"
"Oh I thought it was your, you had it with you yesterday."
"No I just used it "
"I see, okay I'll give it to him, turn around so I can do your hair" well that's just weird; I haven't had anyone do my hair since I was a little girl.
"There all done, you should go back to Links house. He should be back soon and I'm sure that he wants to show you around the village." Ilia said with a smile
"All right, thank you for everything, I'll see around I guess." I stated making my way toward his house. On my way back I saw the little kids running into their designate house saying something about lunch.
Boy how long was I at Ilia house? Bah oh well who cares. When I finally made it back I saw the fire flickering trying to stay alive, so I did it a favor and put in more wood. Link wasn't back yet so I took the chance to look around the place. You know, the game had Links house all wrong, there are more rooms, doors, and item that I never saw in the game before. For example right beside the door there is a full body mirror. So I took the opportunity and looked at myself for the first time in this world.
"Holy Shit! What the hell happened to my face and body?" I clearly remember how I use to look like. I was somewhere in the normal range, not ugly but not yet pretty at the same time. But now my black hair reaches to my waist and has layers that I never had before. My eyes are not brown but a blue sliver huge, my skin color is still the same, a sun kissed color. Then it's my body, I am a little taller now, hell what was wrong in being 5'6'' anyway? Also I clearly remember that I wasn't as skinny as Ilia, shoot I'm almost as skin as a god damn model. Do you know that they don't eat! and my friends I like food especial sweets! Great now I want to eat lava cake.
"What happened to me? Who did this to me? Actually why did this happen?"
"We just release your soul and body from your world. There was a seal placed on you and when we took you to come to this world the seal broke." Farore said
"So truth be told, this is how you're suppose to look. But for some reason you had a seal of darkness threaded into your soul." Din spoke
"We thought that everyone in your world had the seal but it was just you."Nayru shrugged "By the way those clothes are nice"
"Thank you" the clothes I have on is a white strapless dress that reaches to the middle of my thighs. On the top and bottom of the dress there is a blue stripe that has a diamond pattern and in the center of the diamond there is a cross in the middle. I have blue shorts that go 2 inches below the dress. Then I have a long skirt like cloth that reaches to my feet and is tied around my waist by a light purple scarf like belt that also has diamonds but instead of purple there yellow; the tips of the belt is also yellow. Then the skirt is folded over the belt, and the flap that hangs has the same design as the dress. The skirt doesn't wrap around my waist all the way, there is at least a good 5 inches missing; the front of my legs can be seen, the edge of the long skit has a blue outline.
"Um do you know how I'm supposed to wear this?" I asked while holding up the long white cloth.
"Find the center of the cloth and tie it around your neck, in a bow." Farore instructed
"Okay" I did as I was told
"Now, extend your arms out to the side." I obliged and they began wrapping it around my arms
"All done, don't you look adorable" Nayru said.
"Let's get down to business, were here to tell you what your items are. Bring them here" Din said
"um. . . I don't know where they are?" I said rubbing the back of my neck
"oh dear" Den said while a red light came from here hands. Then all of sudden my things appeared.
"The sword used to belong to the heroin of life, but you need to awaken the power sleeping within it. The Ocarina is that of the Hero of Time, no it is not the Ocarina time. You will have to look for it later on. The Violin is something for you; we know that you like music so we gave you that."
"I don't know how to play the violin"
"Extend out your hands with the palms of your hands facing up." Farore said. I did as I was told and Farore touched both of my wrists and a treble clef appeared on my right and a bass clef appeared on my left.
"Now you can" Farore said proud
"Oh! Your backpack has also been modified, or in this case blessed. The big pocket can hold anything much like a fairy pouch. The smaller pocket can bring trivial items from your world. For example candies, chips, batteries and such." Din said
"Really! Oh my gosh that's so cool!"I exclaimed throwing my hands in the air. Then Footsteps could be heard outside the door.
"Time to go" Din said and they left. I was left there standing in the middle of the room with my arms extended looking stupid. Well this will hard to explain.
