*THIS IS A TRANSITION*
Her long blond hair fell smoothly around her face, and once he met her sapphire eyes, they were all he could see.
"Caden," she whispered, touching his arm, "come with me." They walked through the village and to the graveyard. "I know it is forbidden, but I cannot stand this any longer." She wrapped her hands around his neck and leaned toward him, very slowly, until their lips brushed...
"Farore!"
Caden sat up in bed, his face flushed. He'd only seen the princess - Zelda - for a second. But since then she was all he could think about.
What was he supposed to do?
His aunt was dating the shaman, and if that one girl got her memory back, Link got a girlfriend. Talo had even told him that he'd a crush on Luda, and it was pretty obvious that Colin had feelings for that girl Beth.
So why shouldn't Caden get someone? Why couldn't he have a happy ending?
He sighed and lied back down. If he could sneak past everyone again...
...Then maybe...
...maybe...
*THAT WAS A SHORT SCENE I APOLOGIZE*
Link took a step forward, and the room starting caving in.
At least, that's what he thought. A large noise rumbled throughout the room, and the crumbling sound of something snapping echoed afterward. Link ducked covered his head as he heard something crash against the ground. A boulder. Something fell from the ceiling and crashed into the ground around him. The room was caving in. This was not good.
But then nothing else happened. Link looked back up and nothing was happening. Thank the gods; it must have just been an unstable stalactite.
"Whoa!" Link jumped and spun around to see Midna next to him. "That's treacherous..."
He chuckled in approval, then remembered and glared at her. "Why do you care?"
Her expression fell. "I just thought you ought to knock down those other stalactites hanging off the ceiling first." She crossed her arms. "You know. So that you don't die."
She disappeared into his shadow.
Link tried to think Good riddance, but instead he just felt like a complete idiot. He shouldn't be so mean to Midna.
The person who murdered your father? Why do you keep defending her?! he thought back agrily. He shouldn't have gotten so close to her. Someone as sketchy as Midna shouldn't have become his friend.
Link tried to think about other things, because each time he thought of Midna, a hole of guilt was drilled deeper and deeper into him. Why? Why did he feel guilty?
He shook his head. Don't think about it. Think about Ilia. Think about how pretty her smile is. Maybe once you finish this temple, she'll have her memory back.
Holy fuck. She might get her memory back.
As Link pulled out his bow and equipped a bomb with it, his head began spinning with ideas. After he finished finding this Fused Shadow, he would be able to take Ilia back home. If Ilia went home, couldn't she get her memory back?
Wouldn't she get her memory back?
His fingers released the bomb-arrow and it struck the boulder above, rattling it and making it crumble and crash into the ground. Ilia... Oh gods, he missed Ilia... Just the thought of seeing her again... Of seeing her again, not this girl he didn't know...
