Re: The shadows of Time
Prologue
In all the land, there is one hero who stood high above the rest. With a huge legend behind him, and a great story of his past, he even had traveled through time. His legend began when a fairy aided him on his journey to a castle in a distant land, and met the princess. But soon, he learned of a great evil. He had to get the Blade of Evil’s bane, but in the process, he was sent into the future. He managed to defeat the evil, but the princess sent him back. When he got back, his fairy companion disappeared. So the hero set off to find her. He searched everywhere, until his horse and he entered a very strange wood. A new evil, darker then the other, arisen from the trees. The hero had to travel through a dimension and entered our world. He soon gained a new fairy companion and they learned of a great destruction incoming. They defeated the evil with four legendary masks, but the masks were soon sealed away. The Hero’s legend soon spread, and the Hero lived on in this new world. All though nobody really knew who he was, he is still remembered to this day, as the Hero of Time…
I remember how I always used to ask Grandpa to read me that story, over and over, until I would fall asleep. But that was so many years ago, it’s hard to believe it’s been that long. My grandpa raised me, and taught me so many things. But that legend was the greatest thing that he ever taught me, because it was the reason for so many things in my life. But I guess I should start from the beginning…
Yes, it is first person. SO once again, I got bored, and wrote a chapter.
Chapter 1: Just an average day
It was just an average day. The sun shone brightly through the trees that surrounded our small village of Huron. The birds sang happily, and the smell of pine was in the fresh air. Kids were playing, and all was happy. Grandpa was outside, preparing his old brown and white horse.
“Hey Grandpa! What are you doing?” I asked as I ran towards him.
“Oh, hey kid. I need to make a small delivery to Clock Town. It’s nothing too much. I’ll be gone for a few days, so you’re going to be by yourself for a few days. There are some rupees for food on the counter.” Grandpa replied.
“Why can’t I come, Grandpa?” I wondered out loud.
He placed his old, wrinkly pale hand on my head. He gave me a nice, happy look, and the smile made the folds of his cheeks even wrinklier.
“Listen, I promise I’ll make it up to you. I just want to go alone this time. Okay?” He replied as his smiled. I looked at the ground, and kicked the dirt with my brown shoes.
“Okay… Just remember that you promised.” I said sadly as he started to ride away. You could see his white hair and dark green shirt waving in the wind as he rode off into the trees.
Well, I guess that now is as good of time as other to introduce myself. My name is Link, and I live with my Grandpa. I never did know my parents, but my Grandpa raised me. I live in the small town of Huron, which is in the many forests of Termina. Huron is actually centered around Romani Ranch, but that place is really old now. It’s pretty boring around here, and I really wish that I could go on a huge journey like the Hero of Time did. But I don’t know how I could do that, I mean, I don’t even have a sword! I also don’t have a tunic either, I usually just where a bright orange shirt, and light blue pants. Of course, they don’t really go with my blonde hair, and everyone always comments on that. Well, that’s pretty much all about me right now.
So it was a good ten minutes after my Grandpa left before I started to get cold and went inside. I looked on the wooden counter, and sure enough, the rupees were there. There was a bright red rupee, three shining blue rupees, and five bland green rupees. I felt my stomach growl and realized that I was hungry. So I took the red rupee and started walking down to Romani Ranch to buy some milk and beef. The beef there is actually very good, considering they just started selling it. I feel sorry for the cows that had to die in order to make it though. And I just love the milk there! Even though it’s fresh, it’s always delicious!
So I finally reached Romani Ranch, and old Cremia greeted me over the counter.
“Ah yes, young Link! Nice to see you! I heard your grandpa just left to go to Clock Town.” She exclaimed
“Yep. He left about twenty minutes ago.” I replied as she smiled at me. I thought it would be nice to smile back, so I did. That’s when Remia walked out. She’s about the same age as me, and is the daughter of Cremia. Her long, red hair covered the shoulders of her tan and orange dress, and captured my attention. It was like I could hear the angels singing when I saw her beautiful face.
“Mom! Are you bugging our customers again? Oh, hey Link!” She greeted me with a huge grin.
“Hey Remia. How are you today?” I asked her quietly. I looked down at my feet and thought about how stupid what I just said was, and how I wished I didn’t say it.
“Oh, I’m good. Is there something you wanted Link?” She wondered, as she could see that other people at the store wanted some service.
“Yeah, I, um, just wanted some milk and beef.” I replied slowly as she went around the counters getting the food. She handed the “Already Cooked Beef” and “Romani Milk” over the counter as I handed her the red rupee.
“Hey Link, I get off work in a few minutes, do you want to go eat somewhere with me?” She asked excitedly. I nodded quickly as I hopped off the stool.
“Let’s meet down by the river, and we can go eat at the old bridge!” I yelled as I ran out of the building while people screamed at me to move out of the way. Yes! This was finally going to be my chance to be alone with Remia!
