Role Playing Princess

A Noble Steed

A Noble Steed

Ch. 3

By: Cutegirlmayra(sorry I've been out of it for so long L I kinda have been preoccupied with a new show I'm watching, called Doctor Who. I'm in love with Clara! She's the perfect person for The Doctor! Anyway,... I kinda want to do a fan fiction about them too T-T but, I figured you all have waited long enough for this one, so here it is! The next chapter!)

Link scrubbed.... And scrubbed.... And scrubbed some more of the dirty old pots and pans of the kitchen. He sighed, placing another perfectly clean plate on a huge stack of them. Three more stacks to his already five bundles of kitchen items. He yawned and rubbed his face, training will start soon....

He got up, and went to do his next chore, but then he heard a clang of some kind and looked down to his feet. In a tizzy of panic, he quickly dropped to the ground and picked up his hero doll that Zelda had given him, begging the goddess's it wasn't scratched or broken.

Fine... it was just fine...

He sighed in relief. 'One of these days', he told himself, 'I'll really save you...'. He put the doll in his hat and walked outside, putting his green tunic on over his white undershirt. As he walked to the garden, the maid girls near the other side giggled and watched him as he cut the weeds and watered the flowers about the half enclosed area.

One girl was pushed out among them, and seemed to be pressured into doing something as she dusted off her dress, took a deep breath, and walked to the boy.

"Um... sir, you are a knight in training, are you not?" she asked, nervously but kindly.

"Oh!... em." Link looked behind his shoulder and then to her, nodding to a 'yes' to her question.

"Um...uh... is your name Tink?"

"...Ehh?"

"It's Link, Tonnai, Link!" a girl shouted from the small crowd of little maid girls that had gathered to watch the strange scene; most were supporting the young girl though.

"Oh!" the girl turned around, recognizing her error, and then looked back to Link, "I mean Link! ....sorry..." she whispered the last word and clinched her dress in embarrassment.

"Eh..? Haha." Link had a sweat drop down his face, but then kindly laughed to show he wasn't offended by her mistake. Scratching his head awkwardly, he nodded again to show he was who she was looking for.

"Oh good." the girl let out a uneasy sigh, letting all the tension she must of felt inside her out. "I don't have to hold my breath anymore, phew... anyway, The young princess has requested I give you this letter.... Though she insisted it was a... 'treasure map'..." the girl gave the questionable letter to Link, who eagerly took it.

Hearing it was from the princess, he ripped the letter open with speed and precise effort to get the message out as soon as possible. The girls looked a little spooked by his rushed attitude concerning the letter, but then giggled, probably thinking this was a love letter of some kind.

Tonnai ran back to her friends as Link read a riddle that didn't make any sense.

Red, green, and brown

Are all the colors that hang around.

In this happy place,

The wind blows at a steady pace.

Here you will find a key,

That will unlock a mystery!

Link looked up from the letter with a unamused face, 'Can't she just tell me where to go?', he thought to himself. Then he sighed happily and let out a smile, 'Still... this is kinda cute...'. he looked at the detailed scribbles on the paper, and the landmarks that were portrayed on them. It had been three weeks since he last saw Zelda, is this what she was doing that whole time..? A treasure hunt game?
