Reflection in the Water - A Breath of the Wild Fanfiction

Chapter 2

   The vibration of the raft bumping onto another land woke her up from her slumber. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes, slowly getting off the raft. She looked around the land with her eyes, the sun not revealing itself from the mountains afar just yet.

   She knew the name of this land taught by her mother, but not familiar of what there was. She had no idea where to start, and she only had the clothes on her back. She didn't have any weapons on her that it made her feel bare. Not wanting to stay in the same spot for the rest of her life, she took a step forward and kept moving.

   She was walking where there were a land full of trees, though they looked dreary since it was still dark. Her body was full of pain as she kept walking, but she had to find some place to stay, and that place was not going to be an unknown forest.

   She felt something hard under her foot which stopped her. She moved her foot to reveal what it was: A rusty sword. She picked it up, thinking it would be useful for now to protect herself until she could find another weapon.

   The girl made out of the forest without getting injured. She was thinking to herself that she needs to get her wounds treated before they become infected. There weren't any herbal plants that could heal a simple wound in that forest she was wandering in for who knows how long.

   In the new scenery were a rushing river and a beautifully crystal blue bridge from afar. She didn't even notice that this new mark of land she discovered was raining. She looked behind her of where she came from, and then looked forward again. She found it strange that one part was raining, and one part was completely dry.

   The girl continued forward to get to the bridge to see what was at the other side of it. Maybe there was a village nearby that she could stay for a while until she thought she was ready to go off on her own. She hoped that if there was a village at the other side of the bridge, they would have medicine to treat her wounds that were still freshly cut.

   As she got closer to the bridge, she didn't realize that there would be a camp with the most unusual creatures she has ever seen. They were what she would describe best: Like Hylian anatomic boars. She froze on the spot as did those group of creatures. Just as she was thinking they would mind their business, they picked up their weapons and started charging towards her.

   The girl stood her ground, having herself in a fighting stance. One of the pigs swung their weapon at her, but she leap to the side, dodging the attack. She felt a sharp pain on her side, making her hiss and close one eye. She had to be careful because of the current condition she was in.

   Another one was about to bring down a weapon at her, but this time she swung the rusty sword at them, slicing their torso. That creature tried to get up, but she plunged that sword deep into their freshly cut wound, ending their life in an instant. One down, three to go.

   She took the sword out of the dead pig, and eyed all three of the pig creatures who looked angry that she had killed their comrade. All three started charging towards her. She was slowly taking steps back, looking for an opening to take them out all at once.

   The expected turned into the unexpected. She didn't see that there was a bigger creature charging towards her from the side. She wasn't going to be able to dodge in time since the three other pigs were coming in close. The three pigs were swinging their weapons all at once at her, so she had to dodge that triple attack with her sword that looks like it won't maintain for much longer. The bigger creature swung its weapon at her, having her lose her footing. The weapon hit her right in the stomach, having her lose breath and puke a little bit of blood. Since the ground was also wet because of the rain, she was in the air over the river. She felt the wind on her back as she was falling, and everything seemed like it was fading.
