Until That Day

Curious Faces

Zelda

---------------------------------------------------

The preparations didn't take long, but the sun had set long before we could set out.

"Perhaps tomorrow is the day, then." I joked.

"Sounds good to me. See you in the morning?" Link started back towards his room.

"See you in the morning."

When he left, I looked back at my journal.

It's been a while since I updated it...

After about an hour of catching up to current events, I couldn't help but notice how far along Link and I had come.

I was absolutely opposed to him when we were first put together, but after spending time with him and discovering what an amazing character he was, it was almost funny that I'd ever disliked him in the first place.

I quickly realized that I would do almost anything for him, but that it probably wasn't a good thing going into the potential battle we were going to have to fight. Hopefully by the time Ganon comes around, my powers will have come to me and it wouldn't be a problem.

I glanced out my windows to find the stars shone brightly outside. I could make out the constellations that I'd learned about since I was young, my mother and I would always watch for them. She taught me everything she could about everything.

How I missed her dearly.

I wanted to tell her about the Shekiah Slate, about the shrines, about our progress with the guardians...

About Link.

I'll have to settle for writing it all down in my journal, I guess.

After studying the skies for a while longer, I looked around my room. Perhaps I should wear my white dress for praying at the monuments. It was another of my mother's old dresses, I had three. One was purple and white, which had been passed down many generations, the white one with a golden belt across the center, and royal blue dress I wore quite often.

Carefully taking out the white dress, I laid it on my bed and carefully folded it neatly into my bag. My mother was such a sweet and courageous queen, I could only hope to follow in her footsteps.

------------------------------------------------

I woke up on top on my travel bag, sunlight streaming through the window.

I missed sunrise!

I shot up and ran toward the door, opening it wide to find Link just on the other side.

"Link! I'm so very sorry, I overslept!"

Link chuckled. "That's alright princess, I'm just here to wake you for our trip."

That must be why I woke up.

"Of course! Let me just grab this and we can be on our way." I grabbed my travel bag off my bed and met Link outside the door. "Ready?"

"Of course. The horses have been fed and packed up already. There's plenty of food and water packed for us to get every place and back, along with lots of fruitcake and ingredients to make it should we eat all that I brought."
