The Origin of a Champion

Chapter 4- Alvar's Eggs-pertice

 Zarya's intentions of sleeping in as long as she could into the Saturday morning were a pipe dream, and she knew it. She was having a weird dream where she was laying in a field then suddenly a huge rock came crashing on her stomach. But when she jumped awake right as the boulder hit her, she found that the 'rock' was only Link jumping on her stomach trying to wake her up.

"Link! Why in Hylia's name are you up, and getting me up?! It's like, before 10:00 a.m. It's way too early," she groaned. She pushed him off her stomach.

"Aww come on Mom! The sun is up, so we should be up too!" Link said happily.

"No, we shouldn't. That's a rule that applies to week days only! When will you get that through your head?"

Link smiled, then shrugged and decided that if they wouldn't get up, he'd have to wait with them until they would get up. And Link knowing his parents, he knew that it would be awhile. So he snuggled in between them. Zarya rolled over to look at Alvar, who was still asleep and softly snoring.

"Calamity Ganon could awake, and he could still sleep through it," Zarya giggled to herself, then yawned. She closed her eyes and everything was quiet again. But the silence was very short lived and ironically Zarya was the one to break it.

"Gahhh! Great Farore Link! Move your feet! They're cold as ice!" she exclaimed.

"Sorry Mom, the floor was really cold when I walked over here," Link said.

"You technically were not supposed to walk over here in the first place."

Link smiled mischievously and placed his small, cold feet against his mother.

"Ugh! Fine! I give up! I have tomorrow morning to sleep in anyway. I'm up," Zarya stated in exasperation as she stood up and stepped out of bed, but her resolution was short-lived. As soon as she stood up, she jumped back into the bed.

"Ooh, you are right Link. The floor is freezing."

"Told you so."

"Oh hush. Here, while I try to find my socks, you wake up your father. Oh, and what do you want for breakfast?"

"Could we have pancakes please?!" Link asked excitedly.

"Yes, of course," Zarya smiled and leaned to softly hug Link before she got out of bed. She found her socks and resisted the temptation to start sliding around in them. She had a mission. Make pancakes and bacon.

As she started to heat up her cooking skillet, she could hear from downstairs Link jumping on poor Alvar and chanting 'wakey wakey'. She chuckled as she looked around her kitchen for the ingredients she needed. When she found them she placed them on the counter. Soon she heard two pairs of familiar footsteps trudge down the stairs, but one pair sounded much more excited. She turned around and smiled.

"Good Morning Alvar."

"Is it though?" her husband replied sleepily.

"Yes it is, even though the morning came earlier than we expected."

Both adults casted playful glares at Link, who ruffled his hair embarrassed, "Sorry."

Alvar laughed, "You're forgiven, but go check on Shadow and Milkshake and take care of them for the morning."

Link grabbed his small brown boots and walked out of the house. Alvar walked next to Zarya who was busy measuring flour, and wrapped his arms around her shoulders.

"Intriguing to think that these powdery ingredients will flour into pancakes."

"Alllllvar-"
