Chapter Two: Princess Zelda’s Night Out
Inside Hyrule Castle, up on the third floor, inside a large room was a beautiful girl, getting herself ready for a big night out. She had long flowing, blond hair, beautiful oceanic eyes, and soft, powdery lips, moistened with a tint of pink lipstick. Her skin was white as ivory but smooth like silk. She wore a pink tube top, with tight, black low-rider jeans and black boots on. She put a pink choker around her neck, along with some small hoop earrings on her ears. Quickly, she brushed her hair into an even straight strokes, making sure that their was no split ends at any strands of her hair. Suddenly an man knocked at the door, turning her attention away from the mirror.
“Princess, may I come in,” the man asked.
“You may enter,” Zelda replied with a sigh.
The man, a messenger for the King, entered into Princess Zelda’s bedroom, nervously looking at her.
“Princess. Your father, the King, wishes to see you right away,” the messenger said.
“I’ll be right there,” Princess Zelda sighed, completely uninterested.
The Messenger left Princess Zelda’s bedroom quickly and walked down the hallway. Princess Zelda walked to her closet and pulled out a leather jacket, rolling her eyes, wondering what her father wanted with her. She slipped the leather jacket on and took one last look at herself in the mirror, making sure that all of her makeup and her accessories where in order. Zelda hastily picked up her black purse and walked out the door, closing it behind her. Princess Zelda walked down the hallway, greeting many of the soldiers, who bowed down to her in respect. Princess Zelda approached a T-intersection hallway, which she went up the stairs to her right. Alongside the walls of the stairs were pictures of Hyrule, from Zelda’s family all the way to painting of how Hyrule used to look like in the past.
Princess Zelda approached at the top of the steps and entered through a door that was on the middle of the hallway. Inside the doorway was a throne room, laced in white furnishings. There was a huge picture of the King and Princess Zelda in royal attire. The King sat down at his throne, looking at Princess Zelda as she headed towards him. By his side was his trusted Advisor, Agahnim. He was a young man at the age of 23. He had long black hair that flowed down to his shoulder, with piercing sapphire eyes. He wore a long, black robe with many patterns on them. Agahnim watched Princess Zelda walking up the steps, approaching the King.
Princess Zelda walked up to the King and curtsied in respect.
“You wanted to see me, Dad,” Princess Zelda asked, politely.
“Yes, Zelda. I have wondering about you lately. There’s been a lot of problems going on in the Hyrule and yet, when you hear about them, it’s if it doesn’t concern you,”the King responded.
“Of course it concerns me. But, if I remember correctly, these problems have already been taken care of by......your Advisor,” Princess Zelda explained.
“That is true, my dear. However, you need to take in consideration of the people in Hyrule. I’m am grateful that Agahnim came along and eradicated these problems, but that still doesn’t mean that this problems won’t exist again. What if something terrible happens in Hyrule. You need to be concerned about that and put the people first,” The King firmly explained to Princess Zelda.
“Look, dad! I know that you are concerned about the people, but relax, will ya? Those sudden earthquakes and disasters are gone for now and the people don’t seem to be too concerned about anything “major” happening at the moment. So relax and enjoy yourself. It’ll be alright!” Princess Zelda replied.
“But what if something happens to you, my child? I worry about you everyday. There are men out there that would seek to take advantage of you or even worst! I dread to think if anything should happen to you,” the King softly exclaimed.
“Don’t worry about me, Dad. Nobody is going to try anything, not while you’re on the throne. Just relax. I’m going to go out tonight with my friends and we’re going to have a good time. I promise, I won’t come home too late. I’ll see you later, Daddy!” Princess Zelda said. She walked up to the King and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Zelda hastily walked out of the throne room, while the King and Agahnim watched her leave.
“Sigh.........Agahnim, do you have any advice as how I can restrain my daughter,” the King questioned, turning his attention to his trusted Advisor.
“Any advice I can give you would be fruitless, for I perceive that no amount of restrain would ever hold her down,” Agahnim replied respectfully.
“Perhaps you are right. I wonder what would happen if something terrible did happen to Hyrule and how would Zelda react to that?! Luckily, I was able to find you, Agahnim. You have been a great asset to this country. I thank you for your support and wisdom,” The King praised.
“It has been my pleasure in serving you, your majesty,” Agahnim commented, bowing to the King.
“Thank You, Agahnim. You’re a fine young man, despite your overwhelming wisdom. Now, if you will excuse me, I think I’ll go and take a walk around the castle, to relief some stress,” the King said.
The King got up from his throne and walked out the door of his throne room, leaving Agahnim behind standing beside the throne.
“Heh, foolish King and his daughter, Princess Zelda. Soon, the timing will be right and I shall swiftly concur all of Hyrule. I’ll rid that foolish King and cast Princess Zelda and her six friends into the Dark World, for my master’s purposes. Soon, the seven maidens will break the seal and all of Hyrule shall see what we have in store for them. The time is coming soon, Princess. Be Wary!” Agahnim spoke to himself, grinning evilly.
Meanwhile, outside of the castle, Princess Zelda was waiting for her group of friends. Suddenly, a bunch of girls, six as a matter of fact, came up to Princess Zelda, all dolled up for the night. One girl approached her.
“Hey, girlfriend! What’s up?” the girl said, embracing Princess Zelda.
“It’s about time that you guys showed up. I was dying of boredom waiting for you guys. What took you so long, Athena,” Princess Zelda replied, returning the embrace to her friend. Athena broke off from the embrace and giggled at Zelda.
“Don’t look at me, Zelda. I was ready the whole time. The other girls took their sweet time to get ready!” Athena responded.
“Did Not!” the other girls replied, in unison.
“Whatever! Anyway’s the important thing is that we’re all here and that we are ready to PARTAY!!!!!” Athena shouted.
“Yeah! That’s what I’m talking about. Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s get this party started!” Princess Zelda excited exclaimed.
“Whooo!” the girls all screamed out, in excitement. Suddenly a long stretch limo flew right by the girls and softly started to descend right in front of them, floating safely on the ground. The limo driver walked out of the driver side and opened the door for the group of girls.
“Here you go, ladies! Your chariot awaits,” The limo driver said.
“Come on, we’ll be late for our party!”Athena exclaimed. Soon, the group of girls entered into the limo, with Princess Zelda being the last one to enter into the limo. Soon, the limo driver shut the passenger door and trotted back inside the driver side. He turned his attention to Princess Zelda.
“Where to Princess?” the limo driver asked.
“Take us to the downtown district of Hyrule,” Princess Zelda replied.
“You got, Princess,” the limo drive responded. Soon the limo turned on and hummed for a bit. Then it slowly started to ascend to the sky. The limo quickly floated away from Hyrule Castle, going towards the downtown district. Princess Zelda and her friends were talking inside the limo.
“So, Zelda. What going on with you?” Maribel, another friend of the Princess, asked.
“Nothing so much. My dad just gave me a long speech about, “How you are not placing any concern about the welfare of Hyrule” on me. It’s can be such a drag, sometimes,” Princess Zelda replied back.
“Yeah! I’ve had big lectures from my dad, saying that I shouldn’t hang out late at night, but you now, I can take care of myself,” Maribel agreed.
“So, did you girls got my message last night?” Princess Zelda inquired, grinning.
“Yes!!!” all the girls said in unison.
“Hey, I didn’t know you could do that tele...telep......argh! What’s that word?” Samatha said, frustrated.
“You mean, ‘telepathy’,” Princess Zelda replied.
“Yeah! Hey, how did ya do that,” Samatha asked.
“I seriously don’t know. It happened about two months ago. All of a sudden, I was able to send out telepathic messages to whoever I wished to send it to. I’ve practiced for awhile and now I can control my telepathic waves. I can send them to an specific individual only, or to a group of people that I choose too. Like you guys,” Princess Zelda explained.
“Wow! That’s so cool,” Ruby commented.
“Thanks! I don’t know if I’ll use my telepathic powers for anything else other than speaking to you guys, but, only time will tell,” Princess Zelda said.
“Hey, you guys! Aren’t we suppose to be at the downtown district by now?” Violet asked.
“Yeah! What’s taking so long?” Athena replied.
“I don’t know. I’ll ask the driver,” Princess Zelda said.
Princess Zelda picked up a phone that was next to her, calling the limo driver, through a video telephone. The limo driver promptly picked up the video phone.
“What can I do for you, Princess,” the limo driver asked respectfully.
“Um.....I would like to know if we’re anywhere near the downtown area,” Princess Zelda requested.
“We will be arriving in the downtown area in approximately three minutes,” the Limo Driver answered.
“Really? Excellent! Thank You!” Princess Zelda excitedly exclaimed.
“Anytime, Princess,” The Limo Driver responded. The limo floated through many intersections of vehicles that were floating by, passing around the many tall skyscraper buildings that loomed into the dark, night sky. Then the limo proceeded to go towards a multicolored building that read “Crystal Tears” in front of the building. The Limo started to descend down towards the ground in front of the entrance to the building. The Limo softly landed on the ground. The Limo Driver got out of the driver’s side of the car and proceeded to walk to the passenger’s side, opening the door for the girls.
“We are here at your destination, Princess,” the Limo Driver said, extending a hand out to her. Princess Zelda turned her attention to her friends.
“Come on, girls. Let’s get this party started,” Princess Zelda shouted excitedly. She got out of the limo, with the Limo Driver helping her out of the limo. The rest of her friends followed her out of the limo. Princess Zelda turned her attention to the Limo Driver.
“Thank You for taking us here. I will call you when we need to go back home,” Princess Zelda said.
“Your Welcome, Princess. I will collect the charges once I deliver you and your friends back to the castle,” the Limo Driver replied, tipping his hat to Princess Zelda. The Limo Driver went back inside the driver side of the limo and started the car. Soon, the limo ascended, floating up towards the sky and drove off to an opposite direction.
Princess Zelda, along with her other six friends, walked up towards the stairs, to the entrance of the building. In front of the doorway, a very well built bodyguard was standing at the doorway, checking ID’s. Princess Zelda and her group of friends walked up to the bodyguard.
“Hello ladies. May I see some ID, please?” the bodyguard asked politely.
Princess Zelda reached into her purse and pulled out a small, metallic card and handed it to the bodyguard. The bodyguard pressed a small button that was on the metallic card and instantly it showed a hologram of Princess Zelda’s picture and profile, including her age, height, weight, and status. The bodyguard handed the metallic card back to Princess Zelda.
“Thank You, Princess. Welcome back to Crystal Tears! Enjoy your night!” the Bodyguard replied back to Princess Zelda.
Zelda did a small curtsy and walked inside the building, waiting for her friends. The rest of the group handed there ID’s to the bodyguard as well and afterwards, walked inside the building, standing next to Princess Zelda.
“Come on, guys! There’s hottie’s inside waiting for us,” Joy exclaimed.
The group of girls with Princess Zelda walked further into the building, hearing the blasting sound of techno music pulsating around the building. Everywhere people were dancing around too the beats. There was also a full bar down against the wall, serving any types of drinks possible. Everywhere they were hot, young men scoping out the place, checking out all the women that were in the club. Princess Zelda and her gang of friends walked downstairs to the central area of the club. All of them saw a round table and seated themselves on that table. Samatha, though, stood up in front of the table with all her friends looking at her.
“I don’t know about all of you, but I’m going to the dance floor, checking out all the hotties,” Samatha exclaimed. Without anyone having a chance to reply to her, Samatha left her purse with her friends and bolted to the dance floor, dancing with a hot guy. All the girls laughed as Samatha continued to put the moves on the hot guy dancing with her.
“She is crazy,” Violet commented, laughing.
“At least she was able to get a hot guy to dance with her,” Maribel said.
“I agree with her,” Princess Zelda added. Soon a group of young men, who were looking extremely hot to the girls, walked up to them.
“Hey ladies!” one of the guys greeted, “Would you like to dance with us?”
“What do you think, Zelda?” Ruby said, looking at her for a response.
“Well, I say..........LET’S GO FOR IT!” Princess Zelda shouted.
Soon all of the girls got up from there round table and walked to the dance floor with the group of guys. Then all the girls and guys started to dance to the upbeat techno music that was blaring throughout the dance floor. Princess Zelda was dancing with a guy who wore tight blue jeans, a white t-shirt on top and some white sneakers. His hair was red with gold streaks on it, coated evenly on every strand. The young guy started to sway his hips around, getting as close to Princess Zelda as possible. Princess Zelda was also swaying her hips to the beat of the music, making sure that the hot guy was watching her every move. The young guy slipped his arm around Zelda’s waist, bringing her closer to him. Princess Zelda smiled seductively at the young man, arousing his interest. The young man pulled even closer to him, swaying her hips along with his. Soon, both were grinding at each other to the heighten beat of the music, both lost in their lustful dance. The young man started to stroke her back gently, still grinding to the beat of the music. Princess Zelda was taken back by the small gesture a little bit, but she soon shrugged it off and continued to grind with the young man, constantly dancing to the rhythmic beat of the techno music. All of Zelda’s friends were dancing with the other young men, grinding their bodies to the beat of the music, lost in their own lust for the dance. Soon, the young man that was dancing with Princess Zelda, started to slip his hand underneath her shirt. This caused Zelda to shove the young man out of the way.
“Hey! What do you think you are doing?” Princess Zelda shouted to her dancing partner.
“I just wanted to get comfortable, that’s all,” the young man replied, his eyes lustfully looking at Princess Zelda.
“Well.....I didn’t give you permission to touch me that way. I’m outta here,” Princess Zelda firmly stated. Princess Zelda walked off the dance and sat back down at her table. All of her friends saw Princess Zelda walk off and soon they all left the dance floor and sat back down at their table, next to Princess Zelda.
“Are you alright?” Athena asked, concerned.
“Yeah, I’ll be fine,” Princess Zelda exclaimed.
“Huh! That jerk thought that he could get away with touching you like that,” Ruby commented.
“It’s a good thing I didn’t let him,” Princess Zelda stated, “Come on, girls. Let’s get out of here!”
“Are you sure you want to leave right now? There’s still a bunch of guys out here that are really cute,” Joy said, looking at the top floor, checking out a group of guys.
“Those guys,” Maribel said, looking up at the same direction, “Don’t bother! They are all same-sex oriented.”
“What are we gonna do then,”Joy asked, disappointed.
“Well, we can just hang out at the castle,” Princess Zelda suggested.
“That doesn’t sound like a bad idea,” Samatha said, “We can just have a good time and chat.”
“You mean like we always do?” Joy replied, laughing.
“Well, yeah! We always hang out together,” Athena commented.
“Alright! Let’s go back to the castle,” Princess Zelda suggested. She took out her cell phone, and started to dial the number for the Limo Driver. Soon, the phone rang and the call was connected.
“Limo Driving Service. How may I serve you this evening?” The Limo Driver said.
“Hi. This is Princess Zelda. I need you to come to the Crystal Tears and pick us up to head back to Hyrule Castle,” Princess Zelda said.
“I’ll be there in five minutes, Princess,” The Limo Driver said, hanging up the phone.
Princess Zelda put her cell phone away and turned her attention to her friends.
“Come on, girls! The limo will be here in five minutes,” Zelda said.
All the girls gathered their belongings and started to head out the doorway, into the street in front of the building. Soon, a limo floats by the girls and starts to descend in front of them. The limo landed softly on the ground, with the Limo Driver getting out of the driver side. He then opened up the door of the passenger side, gesturing to the girls to get in the limo. All the girls went inside the limo, with Princess Zelda being the last girl to enter into the limo. The Limo Driver closed the passenger side door and went back to the driver side of the limo. Soon, the limo started to ascend up to the sky and flew away from the building. The Limo was passing numerous cars that were flying by throughout the city. About ten minutes later, the Limo reached to the entrance of Hyrule Castle, slowly floating by towards the entrance. The Limo started to make it’s descent, slowly landing on the ground. The Limo Driver walked out of the limo and opened up the passenger side of the car. He helped all the girls out of the limo, including Princess Zelda. The Limo Driver turned his attention to Princess Zelda.
“Here is the destination that you requested. Now, I you would please pay me for the services that I provided for you, then I will be on my way,” The Limo Driver politely asked.
“Okay, how much do I owe you,” Princess Zelda inquired.
“That will be $350 dollar, Princess,” the Limo Driver said.
Princess Zelda fumbled around her purse, pulling out her wallet. She then pulled out a card that read “Rupees”. The Limo Driver pulled out a machine with a card slot on the side and some buttons next to the card slot. Princess Zelda slid the card into the slot. The machine read, “350 rupees. Enter this amount?”. Princess Zelda pushed the “Yes” button on the machine. The machine started to hum for a bit and then another screen flashed in which it said, “amount has been accepted. Would you like a receipt?”. Zelda pressed the “Yes” button once again. The machine printed out the receipt in which the Limo Driver promptly gave to Princess Zelda.
“Thank you, Princess. Enjoy the rest of your evening!” The Limo Driver happily said.
Soon, he closed the passenger side door and entered into the Limo. The Limo started to ascend up towards the sky and floated away from the castle. Princess Zelda turned her attention towards her group of friends.
“Come on inside, girls,” Princess Zelda said. Soon the whole group of girls followed Princess Zelda inside the castle. They all walked with her up the stairs an into the hallways, hugging each other in a group hug and laughing along the way. Soon, the group of girls approached the Princess Zelda’s bedroom, in which they all entered inside of it. Princess Zelda closed the door behind her.
“Sigh......It’s great to have all of you here with me,” Princess Zelda said happily.
“We’re all your friends, Zelda. There’s no where else we would rather be than hanging out with you tonight,” Violet commented, smiling.
“Well.....maybe except going out with a hot guy,” Maribel smirked.
“Oh, quit it, Maribel. You know that we would never abandon Princess Zelda,” Samatha replied.
“Yeah. We will stay friends until the end, right girls!” Athena added on to Samatha’s reply.
“YEAH!!!!” the girls shouted in unison.
“Y-You......Y-You girls are....too....much,” Princess Zelda choked out, with tears in her eyes.
“Awww.....”the girls said in a playful manner. Then the group of six girls hugged Princess Zelda tightly.
“Let’s promise each other to stay friends no matter what,” Princess Zelda proclaimed.
The girls nodded in unison. Soon, Maribel grabbed one of the pillows from Princess Zelda’s bed and threw it at her. Princess Zelda dodged the pillow and grabbed it out of the floor.
“So, it’s a pillow fight you want. Let it begin,” Princess Zelda exclaimed, grabbing the pillow from the floor and hurling it back to Maribel. Soon all the girls engaged in a frenzy pillow fight, laughing at each other. Throughout the night, the girls went on laughing and chatting, hanging out with each other, enjoying the company of one another.
Well, that’s the end of this chapter. I will sometimes inscribe Princess Zelda with her title or I’ll just put Zelda for short, but either way it’s the same thing. The next chapter I will focus back on Link and Aryll and you’ll also learn a little bit about Hairai Caldon. I will update as soon as I can. Please Review my chapter. Until Next time!
Chapter Three: Daily Routine
The morning sun peeked out through the window, slowly letting it rays sink in the bright, white bedroom. Link stirred a bit in the soft, plush pillows, slowly opening up his eyes. He moved around a bit underneath the covers of the soft sheets until he touched his leg against Aryll’s waist, who was sleeping soundly next to him. Overnight, they both had quarreled whether or not they should share the queen side bed with each other. Link insisted that he sleep on the plush carpeted floor but Aryll stubbornly objected to that proposal and insisted that Link share the bed with her. She had argued that there was no problem with Link sleeping next to her by her side, since he was her brother. But Link argued that it was not proper for a man to sleep next to a woman, even if they were related. But, Aryll was persistent in her argument and overtime, won over her brother, Link. Link, defeated, gave in into her argument and fell asleep in the bed with her. Link removed his leg from Aryll’s waist and gently shook her shoulder.
“Aryll, wake up! The sun has risen,” Link whispered softly to Aryll. Aryll slowly stirred underneath the covers, moving her head slightly, slowly opening her eyes. Aryll turned around and looked at Link.
“Is it morning already,” Aryll said, yawning.
“Yes Aryll. We must get up for our daily session,” Link answered.
“Alright, brother. I’ll rise up,” Aryll responded. Aryll stretched out her arms and cracked her back, trying to shake off the sleep that was still inside of her. Link threw off the cover and got out of the bed. He was wearing his tight white pants with no shirt on. He went over to the chair that he placed his green tunic on and slipped it on him. Link fastened his belt around his waist, making sure that the tunic was snugged tightly on. He then placed his green cap on his head and put his boots on. Aryll also got out of the bed and stretched her body out, still wearing her green halter top dress on her. Aryll went over to the closet and got her boots out. She put on her slender, brown boots and fixed her hair the best way she could. Aryll walked over to the bed and started to pull the sheet out of the bed, straightening out the bed as neatly as possible. After straightening out the bed, Aryll walked by Link, who was waiting for Aryll near the door. Link pushed a button that was next to the door and opened the door. Hairai Caldon had taught both of them last night how to open the doors of the house. Link and Aryll walked out of the bedroom and proceeded to go down to the hallway, going down the stairs. Link and Aryll went downstair and saw that Hairai was already awake, with his hair wet. He was in the kitchen area, drinking a cup of coffee. Hairai looked up at Link and Aryll.
“Good morning, young ones,” Hairai greeted, “Did you both have a good night sleep?”
“Yes we did. It was pleasant,” Aryll replied, “and a pleasant morning to you too, Hairai.”
“Thank you, my dear,” Hairai answered back, smiling.
“May I ask what are you doing up so early in this hour, Hairai,” Link inquired.
“I just needed to take a shower and drink my cup of coffee. I also like reading my morning newspaper, just to see what’s going on around Hyrule,” Hairai replied. He looked at Link and Aryll. “What are you young ones doing up early this morning?”
“We will be traveling down the forest area for our daily walks around the woods, looking at the current surroundings of the forest,” Link replied.
“That sounds good,” Hairai commented.
“Me and my brother love to talk his adventurous walks. We bring ourselves closer with each other,” Aryll said, hugging Link.
“It’s good that you would bond like that,” Hairai said, getting up from the Kitchen table, “Well, if you are going to go for a walk, I need to program you in the security door lock system, just in case I need to go to Kakariko Village in order to get some supplies.”
“I...don’t think I quite understand what you mean, Hairai,” Link replied, confused.
“Don’t worry, my boy. Why don’t the two of you follow me and I’ll explain everything,” Hairai said, gesturing Link and Aryll to follow him. Hairai went to toward the entrance to the house, with Link and Aryll closely following him. Soon, he stopped in front of a computer touch screen monitor that had a small scanning machine next to the monitor. Hairai turned his attention to Link and Aryll, that were looking at the machines in amazement.
“Have you ever seen a machine like this before, young ones,” Hairai inquired.
“N-No, I have never laid eyes on such a contraption like this before,” Link commented.
“Neither have I, brother. It’s astounding,” Aryll commented also.
“Well, I’ll explain what this machine does,” Hairai said, chuckling at Link and Aryll’s curiosity, “This machine is called a “Hand Scan”. I know it’s a weird name for it but what it does is that it can enter your profile into the computer and allow you to enter into this house with the imprint scan of your hand. All you do is put your personal information on the computer and the computer will ask you to can your hand to the scanning machine. The machine will scan your hand imprints and then transfer the information to the computer. After that is finished, the computer will have your information and your hand prints in file. Then the computer will ask the host, which would be me, if I would like to put you as a “guest” or a “member of the family”. After I make the appropriate selection, then the computer will update the system and confirm that you are in the system and that now you can scan your hand to enter into the house.”
Link and Aryll looked at Hairai, confused at his explanation.
“I-I’m afraid I’m quite lost in your explanation as to what this device can do, Hairai,” Link said, still confused.
“I-I’m puzzled as well, Hairai,” Aryll said, confused as well.
“Don’t worry, young ones. I think that it would be better to show you what exactly this machine does,” Hairai said.
Hairai pushed in a bunch of numbers in the touch screen, which prompted to a main menu screen. Hairai touched a shortcut button that said, “New Profiles”. The New Profile window popped up and immediately, the screen said, “Enter New Profile?”. Hairai pushed the yes button on the screen. Soon, another screen popped up and stated, “How many profiles would you like to enter?” followed by a list of numbers from “1-4". Hairai pressed the number “2" and then pushed the “Ok” button on the screen. Soon, another screen popped up, which was the information screen. Hairai, using the keyboard that was below the monitor, started to type up Link’s information. First he put Link’s name on the “first name” box, then he tabbed to the “last name box”. Hairai turned his attention to Link.
“Excuse me, Link. I need to ask you. Do you have a last name,” Hairai asked.
“M-My last name...........I-It’s.........”Link choked, a tear slowly forming in his eyes. Aryll rubbed his back comfortly, hugging him.
“It’s okay, brother. I-I missed saying that.....name too,” Aryll softly said, with tears swelling up in her eyes as well.
Hairai looked at the both of them and smiled.
“It’s okay, Link. You don’t have to tell me,” Hairai softly replied, putting his hand gently on Link. Link smiled back, relieved that he didn’t have to reveal his last name. Hairai went back to the screen and decided to put his last name “Caldon” on Link’s profile. Hairai tabbed to the next box that read “age”. Hairai entered “18" on the box. In the next box, where it read “height”, Hairai put in “5'9" for Link’s height. In the next box where it said “Weight”, Hairai entered “180 lbs” for Link’s Profile. Also, for the occupation box, he entered “Student” as his occupation. After all the information was entered, Hairai pressed the “Submit” button. The computer prompted another pop-up screen that said, “Enter as Guest or Family Member”. Hairai pushed the button that said, “Family Member” and pressed “ok”. The computer hummed for a few minutes, then another screen prompted up and said, “Please place hand on scanner.” Hairai opened up the scanner and turned his attention to Link.
“Link, please place your hand on this machine,” Hairai said.
Link walked up to the machine and cautiously his left hand on the scanning machine. Soon, a light emitted from the machine and started to scan Link’s hand. After the scanning was done, Link removed his hand from the machine and looked at the screen. The computer started to process the scan along with Link’s profile. Soon, a pop-screen came up and said, “Scanning process complete. Would you like to continue with Second profile?” Hairai pressed the “yes” button and another Information screen popped up. Hairai entered Aryll’s name in the “first name” box. Afterwards, he tabbed to the “last name” box, which he entered his last name, “Caldon” in his box. In the next box that read “age” he entered the number “16" on the box. In the “height”box, he entered the number “5'6" for Aryll’s height. In the “weight” box, Hairai entered in the box “135 lbs” for Aryll’s weight, not sure if that was her exact weight. In the “occupation” box, he entered “Student” as her occupation. After he had entered all of her information, Hairai pressed the “Submit” button. The computer prompted to a pop-screen that said, “Enter as Guest or Family Member”. Hairai pushed the button that said, “Family Member” and pressed “Ok”. The computer hummed for a few minutes, then a screen prompted up and said, “Please place hand on scanner.” Hairai made sure that the scanner was still opened, then he turned his attention to Aryll.
“Aryll, would you please put your hand in the scanner just like your brother did,” Hairai asked politely.
Aryll walked up to the scanner and cautiously placed her right hand on the scanner. A light emitted from the machine and started to scan Aryll’s hand. After the scanning was done, Aryll removed her hand from the machine and looked at the screen. The computer started to process the scan along with Aryll’s profile. Soon, a pop-up screen appeared and said, “Scanning process complete. Would you like to include another profile?” Hairai pressed the “No” button. Then, another screen popped up saying, “Finish processing the two profiles?” Hairai pressed the “Yes” button on the screen. The computer started to hum for a little bit, processing the two information. Then another pop-screen appeared and said, “Process is complete. Welcome Link and Aryll! Close window?” Hairai pressed the “Yes” button. The windows closed up back into the password screen. Hairai turned his attention to Link and Aryll.
“Now the both of you are entered into the computer. You can now enter in and out whenever you like. Just scan your hand next to the door entrance and the door will automatically open for you two. Every house has this program in Hyrule with the exception of Hyrule Castle and Kakariko Village. For some reason, they still have like to use door knobs in their buildings. Well, anyways you are both entered in the computer, so now you can enter in and out as often as you want,” Hairai explained, smiling at both Link and Aryll.
“Thank you so much, Hairai. We really appreciate the generosity that you are displaying to us,” Aryll said.
“Don’t mention it, my dear. Both of you have helped me so much. More than you ever know,” Hairai proudly exclaimed.
Both Link and Aryll blushed at Hairai’s comment. “We must go, sis. The sun is at a good height where we might see some of the early wildlife in Hyrule,” Link spoke to Aryll.
“Yes, we must take our leave,” Aryll responded.
Both Link and Aryll proceeded to go out through the door. “Goodbye, Hairai. We’ll be back before the break of noon,” Link said as he walked out the door with Aryll.
“Bye young ones. Be careful out there,” Hairai shouted, waving back at them. Hairai shook his head as Link and Aryll walked down the steps and headed towards the eastern direction of the house, heading towards the woods. Hairai walked towards the hallway that connected to his kitchen area and walked through a door that lead to his garage. Inside his garage was a small car that could seat four people. He pressed a button next to the door and open up the garage door. Taking his wallet out of his back pocket, he took out a white card that said, “Car Keys” and walked towards the driver side of the card. On the door was a keypad with some numbers on it. Hairai punched the numbers and opened the door. Inside, the car had four seat, the had a pastel beige color, which matched with the light brown dashboard. On the dashboard panel was a Six-CD player that could also play mp3 music and satellite radio. Next to the cd player, below the window panel, there was a card slot that read, “Insert Key”. Hairai inserted the “Car Key” card through the slot, which automatically turned the car on. The car started to float in the air for a little bit. Hairai pushed a button on the top of the ceiling, which opened up his garage. Slowly, Hairai backed up the car, into the street. He pushed the button again to close the garage. Hairai slowly drove off towards the western side of his house, heading for Kakariko Village.
Link and Aryll continued along the pathway to the towards the woods. The trees were lush and green, and beautiful flowers adorned the pathway with bright colors. Aryll took in the beautiful sight, inhaling the sweet scent that perfumed from the flowers. Link looked around the beautiful forest entrance and saw many small birds, chirping at the bright morning sun. Many deers were also seen, grazing through the grass with their family. The deer hardly noticed Link and Aryll walking along the pathway, since both Link and Aryll took their time walking along the pathway. Soon, Link and Aryll approached a huge, open meadow, that was surrounded by trees. The sun brightly beamed down on the meadow, shedding light on the soft grass. Link quickly turned his attention to Aryll.
“This meadow hasn’t changed since we left,” Link commented.
“Indeed it hasn’t,” Aryll agreed.
“Wait here, Aryll. I’ll be right back with our supplies,” Link said. Link walked toward a huge tree to the left of the meadow while Aryll waited for Link to return, standing at the center of the meadow. Link walked behind the huge tree, inspecting the ground next by the roots. He saw a rope that was next to the tree. Grabbing the rope, Link pulled the rope to reveal a secret compartment that had two wooden long sticks inside. Link grabbed the two long pole sticks and quickly closed the compartment, before anybody saw him. Link abruptly came out from behind the tree and walked up to Aryll, with the two sticks in his hand. He tossed one stick to Aryll, who immediately caught the stick with ease.
“Just because we have ventured in a different era of Hyrule does not mean we should lack in our training session,” Link said, determined.
“I quite agree, brother. Shall we?” Aryll gestured, gazing at her brother with determination.
Link nodded at Aryll, grinning at her. Suddenly, Link ran towards Aryll and thrusted his wooden stick to her left side but he was thwarted as Aryll blocked his attack with the wooden stick at her hand. Soon, Aryll started to thrust her stick towards Link, making direct contact with his stick as he dodged her every movement. Aryll gripped the wooden stick with her two hands, holding it tightly. She then ran up towards Link and jumped up, preparing to strike Link at a mid-air assault. Link dodged the attack by doing a back flip as Aryll came down, swinging her stick towards him. Link ran towards Aryll, trying to attack her, but failed as she somersaulted her way out of the impeding attack . Link spun around and ran toward her, trying to attack her from the back, but immediately, without turning around, Aryll blocked Link’s attack with clanging her stick with Link’s. Aryll spun around and started to thrust her stick toward Link, twisting and turning the stick as if it was a sword. When Aryll thrusted her stick at Link’s right side, Link blocked it with his stick and also swept her feet, causing Aryll to fall on the grass on her back. Link pinned her down, gripping her wrist firmly.
“A man will want to take advantage of this situation, my dear sister. But he shall not have his way, shall he?” Link said, seriously eyeing her.
“No, he shall not. I will make certain that he doesn’t try to take advantage of me,” Aryll responded.
Swiftly, Aryll thrusted her foot right a Link’s groin and kicking him off of her. Link clutched his sensitive area, feeling the immense pain that was throbbing all over him. Aryll quickly got up from the ground and grabbed her wooden stick, quickly grabbing Link’s wooden stick as well. She quickly ran towards Link, who was still sitting on the floor in immense pain. Just as he was about to stand up from the ground, Aryll thrusted her two sticks towards Link, lightly jabbing one at his neck and the other at his stomach, holding them in place.
“If any man dares come near me, then I will smite him,” Aryll replied firmly, holding her ground.
“W-Well.....done.....Aryll,” Link commented, wincing in slight of pain. Aryll released the stick away from him and helped him up off of the ground. She threw the Link’s stick back to him, as Link easily caught it.
“I’m sorry if I treated you to roughly, brother,” Aryll apologized, patting Link’s back.
“No, Aryll. No apology needed. You needed to get yourself out of danger. Never apologize when it concerns your life,” Link firmly said, looking deeply in Aryll’s eyes. Aryll nodded in response to Link’s comment. “However, you are improving in your skills. You are becoming a far worthy opponent and could challenge any of the talent, young knights of Hyrule. Still, we must train for who knows what fate will dealt with us the next day,” Link said.
“Well said, brother,” Aryll agreed. Soon, Link and Aryll continued sparring with one another, twisting and turning, clanging their sticks with one another, sweating profusely.
Hairai was arriving to the market place along the streets of Kakariko Village. He slowly floated alongside a small cabin with a redbrick chimney in place. An man, in his forties, was trying to cut his lawn when he spotted Hairai, descending from the air and landing softly on the ground. Immediately, he left his gardening tools on the ground and hastily walked towards Hairai, who was getting out of the car. He waved to Hairai, who saw him looking at him.
“Hey, Hairai. How have you been?” The man greeted.
“I’ve been well. I’m here in Kakariko Village picking up a few things for the house. What’s been going on around here?” Hairai greeted back.
“Nothing much. It’s been pretty quite. It’s just the latest rumors about Princess Zelda partying, again. Sigh......I wonder what type of a role model she displaying for our young girls? Will she ever learn?” the Man commented.
“I don’t know. I guess....time will just have to tell us,” Hairai replied, “Anyways, I need to go to the market and gather some things. I have two young people that are staying with me.”
“Really? Are they relatives of yours,” the Man questioned.
“No. They are both new travelers to Hyrule and they needed a place to stay. I’m surprised. They are the most eloquented young people that I have ever met. The pair are siblings. A brother and a sister with a strong bond for each other,” Hairai explained.
“Do they have parents?” the Man questioned further.
“It appears that the parents are deceased, for when I put the young man’s profile in the “Hand Scan” program to get into the house and asked him for his last name, he choked into tears along with his younger sister. So I just put my last name into his profile, so that way I wouldn’t bring up that subject again,” Hairai explained further.
The man eyed Hairai, looking at him seriously. “Hairai.....are you trying to adopt those young people into your home? Did you forget what happened to your wife....” the man said but was interrupted by Hairai.
“Let’s not talk about that,” Hairai sadly said, “It’s hard enough that I’m reminded about her everyday. I...miss her. We wanted to have children together.”
“I know that she meant the world to you, Hairai. I knew that she would have wished for children, just like you wanted too have some. But.......you can’t replace the lost of your wife with these young people the you have invited into your home,” Harold pointed out.
“I know, Harold, I know. But......Those young ones, Link and Aryll. They.......they really made me feel like they are my children. I just can’t help myself when I look at them. Sometimes, I wish that they were my children,” Hairai sighed. Harold looked at Hairai sorrowfully, feeling his pain. Harold smiled at Hairai, comforting him.
“Well, Hairai. At least you are helping those young people. I’m sure that they are eternally grateful for your kindness,” Harold commented.
“I guess you’re right,” Hairai agreed, “Well, I have to get going to the Kakariko shop before it closes. I wanted to get a surprise for Link and Aryll. I see you later, Harold.”
“See ya and have a good day,” Harold waved to Hairai as he was going inside the Kakariko shop.
Meanwhile, Link and Aryll were traveling back to the Hairai’s white house. Both were dripping in sweat, with cuts and scrapes all over their body, worn out from their sparring session. Slowly, Link and Aryll walked up the steps of the white house, their bodies aching from the intense battling that both had performed earlier on the day. Up the stair and in front of the door, Link placed his hand on the white screen. The screen immediately scanned Link’s hand and opened the door for him. Both Link and Aryll walked inside the house, searching for Hairai.
“Hairai, we came back,” Link shouted at the empty house.
“Hairai?” Aryll shouted as well. Both listened to see if their was any signs that Hairai was inside the house, but they heard nothing.
“I guess....we went somewhere, brother,” Aryll commented.
“Yes, I do believe you are right. Perhaps we should make a feast for him when he arrives,” Link suggested.
“That’s a grand idea, brother. But......we do not know how to use the strange devices that he used to prepare our feast that we ate last night,” Aryll inquired.
“That is true, Aryll. But, we do not need such things. Our uncle taught us how to cook and we shall use the same methods that he used. We will just require to.....borrow some items from Hairai. He won’t mind. I’m sure that he will enjoy the feast that we’ll prepare for him. Let’s get started, Aryll,” Link excitedly said.
“I’m with you, brother,” Aryll happily replied.
Link went into the kitchen and opened up the refrigerator, grabbing some vegetables, meats, and other items for the feast. Aryll walked into the kitchen as well and grabbed some utensils from the cabinets and drawers, getting a cutting board in the process. Link placed the food on the table. Link walked towards a door to his left, next by the kitchen and walked outside at the left side of the house. He saw an old pot and some chopped pieces of wood that was next to the house. Link grabbed a good amount of pieces of chopped wood and started to pile them in a circular form on a level dirt patch. Link gathered some rocks that were nearby and started to place them around the pieces of wood. He grabbed two long pieces of stick and fiercely rubbed them together, constricting them to make a fire. Soon, the stick started to burn and a fire was formed from the sticks. Link blew onto the fire, making sure that the fire was fulled flamed to a good size. He hastily put the pot on top of the fire. Then Link got a bucket filled with water and poured it into the huge pot.
Aryll was in the kitchen, chopping up slices of vegetables, putting them in a plastic bowl. Aryll got a small bowl and started to mix ingredients for a salad dressing, pouring in all the herb, spices, and olive oil for the salad.
Outside, Link getting all the food that he had collected from the table and started to mix some ingredients inside the boiling pot, mixing in the flavors for a savory, delicious feast. Both Aryll and Link continued to prepare the feast for Hairai, mixing and boiling, sweating over a hot meal.
Hairai was flying towards his white house with a bunch of bags in the back of his car. He was passing by a field full of flowers, adorned with a beautiful array of colors. Slowly he descended from the sky and stopped his car on the ground. Hairai got out of the car and started to walk towards the beautiful array of flowers, plucking some choice colors and gathering them together in a bunch. He tied the group of beautiful flowers into a bouquet, carefully putting them in the back of his car. Hairai got in his car and started to ascend towards the sky, floating gently towards his white house. He pushed the button that opened up his garage door and slowly entered inside his garage. Slowly his car started to descend on he ground, floating gently downwards on the cement floor. Hairai got out of his car and opened up his back door. He grabbed all of his grocery bags, which were filled with some clothing, shampoo and conditioners, ands some other essential items. He closed the back door and proceeded to walk towards the entrance to the kitchen.
As soon as he opened up his door, he could smell the aroma of well prepared food hovering around the kitchen area into his dining room. He slowly walked towards the dining area, carefully checking out his surroundings to see if Aryll and Link were present. Hairai walked into the dining room and was shocked to see that a grand banquet had been prepared for him. There was an array of moisten, tender, meats, steamed vegetables, and fresh baked bread waiting for him on the table, each hot and ready to be served. Hairai almost dropped his groceries over the shock of all the well prepared food sitting on top of his table. On the left side of the table, Link and Aryll were standing up, smiling at Hairai.
“Good afternoon, Hairai. We have prepared a delicious feast for you,” Aryll said.
“We wanted to surprise you with a banquet since you have been so generous to offer us a home to stay in. I hope that you will be pleased with our meal that we both worked hard to prepare for you,” Link happily said.
“Y-You.......young ones d-did this for.....me?” Hairai choked, with tears in his eyes.
Link and Aryll nodded in response, happily smiling at Hairai.
Hairai was filled with love for Aryll and Link. Immediately, Hairai put his bags of groceries on the ground and gave both Link and Aryll a big hug, silently crying. Link and Aryll returned the gesture and hugged him back tightly, happily smiling at him. Hairai broke off from the hug and wiped his tears away.
“T-Thank You, Link and Aryll. This is truly a treat,” Hairai cheerfully said. Hairai grabbed his bags from the floor and put them on a chair. “I got a surprise for you two,” Hairai grinned.
Link and Aryll looked at Hairai, curious over what he had purchased. Hairai pulled out a couple of clothes out. He handed the clothing to Aryll. Aryll looked at Hairai, smiling at him.
“A-Are these garments......for me?” Aryll asked, with her eyes sparkling.
“Yes, my child. I noticed that you and your brother have been wearing the same pair of clothing ever since I first saw you, so I wanted to give you both some new fresh clothing to wear so that I can get out of your dirty ones,” Hairai explained, blushing slightly.
“T-Thank you, Hairai. I shall try out these new garments as soon as I cleanse myself,” Aryll said, running her fingers through wet, sticky hair.
“I thought you might wanted to take a shower, so I brought some shampoo and conditioner for you, plus a body wash made out of milk and honey fragrances with a small sponge,” Hairai said, showing all the condiments that he described to Aryll. Aryll took the supplies from Hairai and smiled at him.
“Thank you, Hairai. I shall cleanse myself at the local pond when I have the chance,” Aryll said.
“T-The local pond? Nonsense, my child. I will show you how to use the shower in the bathroom,” Hairai firmly said, gesturing to Aryll and Link, “Both of you follow me.”
Hairai walked upstairs toward the bathroom, with Link and Aryll following him. Inside the bathroom, Hairai walked towards the shower stall, opening up the glass door that surrounded it. Inside the shower stall was a shower head and below that was a panel with color buttons on them. On the panel it had a sign that read, “On” and “Off”. On the color button, their was three of them that read, “Cold”, “Warm” and “Hot”. Below the color buttons was a dial knob that could control the amount of temperature that the water would be spewing out. Above the color buttons was another panel with two buttons that read, “Faucet” and “Shower”. Hairai turned his attention to Link and Aryll, who were curiously looking at the shower stall.
“Now, I’m going to show you how to turn on the water for the shower,” Hairai started to explain, “First, you press this button that said “On” and that will turn on the water on the Faucet. Here, I’ll show you.” Hairai pressed the “On” button. Soon, the water flowed freely through the faucet, smoothly churning on the shower floor. Hairai turned his attention back to Aryll and Link.
“Next, if you want to have warm or hot water, all you have to do is press the button that reads “Warm or Hot”, which I will show you right now,” Hairai said, pressing the “Warm” button, “Then, you can switch from the faucet to the shower head and vice versa by pressing either button’s “faucet” or “shower”, that I will now press.” Hairai pressed the “shower” button. Soon, water gently flowed down from the shower head, spraying down to the shower floor. Aryll touched the water, feeling the gentle water dripping down on her fingers, feeling the warmth of the water on her skin.
“This water feels warm against my skin. Perhaps I should cleanse myself here in this strange contraption. Will you be able to assist me if I have any trouble working this device?” Aryll politely asked.
“Uh....I-I’m not ......related to you and it wouldn’t be right for me to see you........exposed,” Hairai commented, blushing hugely, “B-But maybe your brother, Link, can help you out. If you need to turn off the water for any reason, all you have to do is press the “Off” button and the water will automatically turn off. Did I explain everything clearly for the both of you?”
“Yes,” Link and Aryll said in unison.
“Very well, then. I’ll leave all these supplies for you, Aryll and I’ll just go downstairs and get Link’s new clothing as well,” Hairai said, rushing out of the bathroom, closing the door behind him. Link and Aryll just look at the bathroom door, confused at just what happen. Both of them shrugged it off, focusing on the shower.
“Well, brother. I shall cleanse myself now. Would you be so kind as to get me two drying cloths while I undress myself?” Aryll asked.
“Y-Yes, Aryll. I’ll get them for you,” Link hastily said, slightly blushing. Link opened up a closet door that was on the side of the sink. He saw two towels that were a big enough for Aryll to wrap her body and hair around and dry off. He quickly grabbed the towels from the closet and shut the door. Aryll slowly started to take off her halter-top dress, making sure that her dress didn’t get torn. Soon, she was completely naked, her tone body exposed into the sunlight. Link turned around but quickly turned away when he saw that Aryll had completely undressed herself.
“H-Here’s.......the......cloths.....that you.....wanted,” Link nervously handed her the towels, having his eyes covered by his hands, blushing.
“Thank you, brother. Will you please step outside so that I can throughly cleanse myself? I shall call you if I need assistant,” Aryll said.
“Sure, sister. If you need me, I shall be outside waiting for you,” Link said. He hastily walked out of the bathroom, closing the door behind him.
Aryll entered inside the shower, letting the warm water flow down her toned out body, wetting her soft skin. Aryll grabbed the body wash and open up the bottle. She squeezed the body wash into the sponge and started to lather herself on the soapy substance, scrubbing her body from the top of her neck to the bottom of her toes. She rinsed herself off the soapy suds, making sure that all the suds were completely rinsed off. Soon, Aryll wetted her hair, making sure that all her strands were soaked throughly. Aryll took the bottle of shampoo and poured some of the contents on her hand. She started to lather her hair throughly, scrubbing her head at the same time. After she rinsed out her hair throughly, Aryll poured out some contents of conditioner on her hand. Aryll started to scrub her hair with the conditioner, making sure that every strand was moisturized evenly. Aryll rinsed her hair off throughly and then she pushed the “Off” button, turning off the water completely. Aryll stepped out of the shower stall and grabbed a towel, wrapping it around her body. Aryll took the other towel and wrapped her hair around. Soon, she was rubbing her body dry, making sure that she wiped away any water from her body. Aryll slowly sifted through the clothing and was holding some pink panties that was in the pile of clothing. Aryll slowly slipped them on, making sure that they were nice and snug. She found a pink bra in the clothing and started to slip it on her, but was having trouble closing it. Soon, she was able to latch on the hooks together into a tight fit, fixing her bra. Aryll saw a pair of dark blue low-rider jeans, and she slipped them on, zipping them up tightly and buttoning them so that it had a good fit on her body. The last piece of clothing was a pink shirt and a pair of pink sandals. Aryll slipped on the pink shirt that clung to her body and she slipped into her pink sandals. Seeing a comb on the counter, she started to straighten out her hair, evenly spreading out her strands of blonde hair. After fixing herself a bit, Aryll looked in the mirror, amazed at the garments that were given to her. Aryll opened the door to the bathroom, holding her green halter-top dress on her arm.
Link was standing next to the doorway, waiting for Aryll to finish in the shower. Soon, Aryll came out of the bathroom and Link was shocked to see Aryll with her tight, dark blue jeans and pink t-shirt that clung to her body. Link walked up to Aryll, still staring at her.
“Y-You’re.......beautiful, Aryll,” Link commented.
“Thank you, brother,” Aryll replied, blushing. Soon, Hairai walked upstairs carrying Link’s clothes with him. He looked at Aryll and was amazed at how beautiful she looked.
“Y-You.....are.....stunning, my child,” Hairai commented, causing Aryll to blush even more, “Should I throw away your old clothes.”
“N-No.......I could never give up these garments. T-They were given to me by someone........dear in my heart. My uncle......” Aryll sadly stated. Hairai smiled at Aryll.
“Would you like for me to wash your old clothes so that way they’ll be new and crisp? I’ll make sure that they won’t get torn,” Hairai confirmed. Aryll nodded and handed Hairai her halter-top dress. Hairai gently took the cherished garment from Aryll and handed Link his new clothing.
“Here’s some new clothes that I got for you as well, Link,” Hairai said. Link smiled and took the clothes respectfully from Hairai.
“Do not worry about me. The both of you enjoy the feast that we have prepared. I shall cleanse myself and join you shortly,” Link said as he entered into the bathroom, closing the door behind him.

The next chapter I will continue a little bit from this chapter but......be prepared for I’m now going to get to the storyline. YAY!!!!! Get ready, for things are about to change for both Aryll and Link. Until Next time.
