The Wild Adventures Of Wind Waker: The Very Begining

I'm All Alone, My Greatest Fear - Chapter 24

I knew it.

I knew it.

I knew it.

Everyone knew it.

Tetra knew it.

Time knew it.

Mask knew it.

Garnet knew it.

Emerald knew it.

Lapis knew it.

Ruby knew it.

Peridot knew it.

Amethyst knew it.

Blue knew it.

Malon knew it.

Everyone knew it.

I was dying, but it's too late.

Spirit can't shake my brain, and Tetra can't touch me.

I'm all alone, my greatest fear.

There was nothing I could do.

I knew it. But I knew it too late.

Oh gods...please. I need to at least say good-bye to Aryll. That's the only reason I did this stupid, stupid thing.

I couldn't hear Spirit anymore. Tetra was fading.

I'm all alone, my greatest fear.

I begged, prayed silently to the gods to just help me. I know it's too late, and I knew it. I really did. But I got too greedy with my time...

And now it's repaying in my own misery.

I'm all alone, my greatest fear.

I begged for their praises, blessings from the white, fluffy clouds I would never see again. I wanted help. I wanted to see something.

Not even a specific person or thing. Just something.

Please.

I'm all alone...my greatest...fear?

My heart began to slow, and my mind did the same. Blue skies soared into my vision, and then the white, fluffy clouds I wanted to see.

Birds cawed and squawked above me, flying in either a 'V' shape or all alone. My body heated.

I heard a voice. A familiar one.

"Link, please? Sky keeps telling me to give up, but I know you're still in there...right? Aren't you hungry? Thirsty? Hurt, even?"

The sweet engineer's voice made my eyes water.

I wanted to tell him I was alive, okay, and maybe even well.

"Spirit..." My own voice echoed like Time's had long ago, "I'm okay...!"

"I wish you were still alive... I miss you a lot, and Tetra, too. Could to talk to her for me, please? Or can't you hear me?"

I can hear you... I wanted to tell him. But my fading fingertips and sob-filled voice prevented it. I couldn't tell him.

I wish I could...but...I can't.

And as he spoke to me, I could only think of one thing...

I'm...all alone...my...greatest...fear...

He sang to me. His voice was beautiful...soothing. He sung lullabies that almost made me shut my eyes and drift further into this beautiful world with green grass and blue skies.

I never would've expected he'd have such a voice.

It's so...little.
Sweet...
...Calming...
...Saving.
