Chapter 35

Revali’s Pov:

I took a hesitant step… I was in a place that was familiar but all the same not. It was beautiful, the trees were flowering, the grass was lush, not a trace of malice… wait what's malice I can’t remember where I learned that word… oh well it probably doesn’t matter. After looking at it more I remembered where I was, it was the Flight Range! I heard the sound of laughter so I decided to fly to where it was coming from.

Baby Revail: “Here Runa, I picked it just for you!”

He was holding a blue night-shade… suddenly a huge gust of wind blew it out of his feathers…

Baby Runa: “Thank you, it's ok that it blew away.”

Baby Revail: “No, I can get it. I've been working on a special ability… Revail’s Gale!”

At that he flew down, grabbed it and created an updraft to get back up.

Baby Runa: “Wow! That was so cool!”

Revail- I mean younger me, had a smug look on his face before repiling with.

Baby Revail: “Ya, I know!”

I shook my head and chuckled, only a few years old but as cocky as I am now.

???: “Runa! Revail! It’s time to go! Runa, your parents want you back home!”

I froze in shock when I heard that voice IT WAS MY MOTHER! I remembered that she died a few months after this. Before I could fly down to meet her again, I heard another voice…

Runa: “Day-dreaming about when we were young again?”

The memory of us as children vanished and I was face to face with Runa!

Revail: “ARE YOU OK!?”

Weird, why was that the first thing I said? Why was I so concerned that she could be injured?

Runa: *Smiling* “Yes, I’m ok, why?”

I felt so much relief hearing those words, but why was I so worried in the first place? She had a bright smile…no...A happy smile on her face. But at that moment a memory replaced the scene of Runa, dead shot in the leg… her whole body covered in blood... I blinked and it was gone, it must have been my imagination…

Runa: “Look what I found!”

It was a blue night-shade just like the one I gave her when we were children. She gave It to me.

Revail: “I have an idea, why don’t we fly around a bit?”

Runa: “Sure! That sounds amazing!”

We flew up into the sky laughing and smiling. It was more beautiful up in the sky than it was down on the ground. We looked at Hyrule castle and another strange image replaced it… Hyrule Castle being overrun by malice… as I blinked it was gone again.

Runa: “You ok?”

I looked at her and noticed that there were slight problems about how she looked… She seemed the same but there were slight differences… her hair, feather color… I hesitated before saying…

Revail: “This isn’t real is it?”

She smiled sadly as I went on…

Revail: “This is what I want… but it isn’t real..you’re dead…”

Runa: “I’m sorry Revali…I wish it could be like this, but you have to wake up.”

I looked at her sweet but sad smile…

I opened my eyes and I felt tears roll down my cheeks…
       
        It was the middle of the night, but I didn’t bother trying to go back to sleep. Instead I got up and flew to the Flight Range where I found the place where me and Runa used to sit long ago…
       I sat there as I picked some blue night-shade and made a bundle of flowers. By the time I was done the sun was rising and I left the bundle of flowers there. Before I flew back to the village.
   Oh Runa…I thought to myself I’m so sorry you died…
In that moment I felt tears swell in my eyes, I quickly wiped them away. 
  No one was awake in the village..I looked over at Runa’s old house..Flowers tied around the poles and hanging from the doorway..Scented sticks were still being burned inside..Candles blown out..Besides these small changes the house looked like it was frozen in time..Sometimes when I look over at her house I feel that she’s there..And on days that are rough, I swear during sunsets I hear her Ocarina’s melody..Every once in a while I pull out her letters and read them…
Suddenly, I heard a sound behind me. It was another Rito…
