Departure: Chapter 1

My face is covered in dust,
as I raise from the wrecked house,
My arm is numb,
and my ribs broken,
a sinister plot,
to destroy the Hero.

I look around,
open field outlined with dense forest,
trees trying to reach the stars,
a cresent moon,
it's silver light makes a eerie glow,
in the mist above the small lake,
I walk to it,
as I drop my sheated sword to the ground,
I drink from it,
and watch my reflection appear to the surface of the dark water,
my green tunic is tattered,
and torn,
my blonde hair,
now nothing more,
than a dirty bush in my head.

As painful as it is,
I clean myself in the cold water,
as good as I can,
I drop the shield on my back,
and rip my tunic,
and use it as a bandage to most serious wounds,
and to my broken ribs,
my fairy companion is nowhere to be found,
as I yank a wooden splinter out of my thigh.

I raise up,
painfully,
and look around once more,
this time I see the farm house,
that is next to the house,
where I slept,
before it was collapsed by black magic powers,
the white house is silent,
no-one is awake,
then it stikes,
"What if they're dead?",
crosses my mind,
as I limp back to my shield,
and equip it to my right hand.

I unsheat my sword,
It's long blade,
and blue handle reflects the faint rays of the moon,
the Master Sword,
bound to destroy evil.

It takes me forever to walk to the house,
and once I grab the handle of the door,
I'm sweating from pain,
I open the door,
and enter to the hostile darkness.

I let my eyes adjust to the darkness,
before I start to search the house,
I walk upstairs,
my leather boots are heavy as steel,
but I manage to get to the second floor,
there is three doors,
as i'm opening the left side door,
I can hear faint whimpering behind right side door,
I open it slowly,
and enter the room,
whimpering stops,
as my eyes adjust to the darkness,
I can see one large bed infront of me,
and there's two swords,
which handle points upwards,
coming from the bed.

It takes awhile before I realize,
that theres two bodies too,
under the two swords,
I touch their feets,
and they're still warm,
I can hear a whimper behind me,
and I can feel the sence of danger in my guts,
I dodge,
I can feel air flow just above my head,
as I turn to face the foe.

White long underdress glows omniously in the faint moonshine,
as I grab it's hands and press it against the wall,
but it is no monster,
it is the second daughter of the farm owner.

I can feel soft nipples through the underdress touch my naked chest,
her slender body against mine,
as I hold her hands against the wall,
she starts to whimper,
and then cry,
turning her head away from mine,
I release her hands,
before I embrase her,
and try to calm her down.

After all the tears,
she was tired,
now against me she sleeps,
troubled dreams,
and nightmares,
I carry her to her room,
lower her to the bed,
and cover her with a blanket.

I walk next to the door,
and lean back against the wall,
I slide down,
and I wait for the sun to raise.

I open my eyes,
as first rays of the morning enters the room,
I raise up,
and I see her sleeping on her bed,
her long reddish hair seems to be as soft as silk,
and her white,
(and thin),
underdress outlines her naked body...

I turn away,
open the door,
and walk back downstairs,
I seath my sword,
before I grab a empty bucket,
and head to the lake.

As I walk back from the lake,
I wonder how i've survived from the barn,
for it was total destruction,
cold water drop falls to my chest and shoulder,
and awakens me from my thoughts,
my wet,
(and clean),
hair soaked with cold water of the lake,
I continue to walk,
with a bucket filled with water.

I place the bucket next to the table,
and turn to look at the stairs,
she stands there,
shocked,
her eyes trails in my thigh,
and chest.

She goes back up,
and returns few minutes later with bandages,
I try to tell her it's nothing,
what I can't handle,
but she insist of putting real bandages on,
as she gently takes off my torn tunic from my chest,
I look down to my chest,
when the tunic falls to the floor,
my left side,
is black,
and swollen.

I grab the dagger,
as she tells me,
that the blood must get out,
as she tries to ask "What are you doing?",
I cut myself,
and let the blood flow down my side.

The faint pain,
that emits from my broken ribs,
now is turning into a unbearable pain,
effects of endorphin and adrenaline is slowly disappearing,
as she wraps me into bandages.

For the rest of the day I tried to help her as best as I could,
and I believe she needs all the help she can get right now,
as I'm slowly drifting into sleep,
while the TriForce on my hand pulses with a holy light.

New morning arrives from the horizon,
as I wake up from my bed,
there's no pain to be found in my ribs and thigh,
I remove the bandages,
and touch the smooth skin,
I look down,
no bruises,
no broken ribs,
no wounds.

I know what to do next,
as I take the ragged,
and bloodstained tunic from the floor,
before putting it on,
she looks at me with weary,
and sad eyes from the stairs,
as I equip the Master Sword,
and my shield.

I take her hands into mine,
as the faint morning mist slowly disappear from the ground,
her eyes are full of sorrow,
and tears starts slowly fall down from her eyes,
I wipe them off,
as mixed feelings dwell inside of me,
without warning I kiss her,
as hasty gasp escapes from her lips,
before she reply to the kiss.

I draw myself away from her,
letting our bodies separate from each other,
she looks at me,
as her fingers play with my blonde hair,
I look up to her eyes,
and she nods,
while tears begin to flow down her cheeks again.

I walk down the road,
that leads to the town of Hyrule,
I look back,
and see her standing in front of the house,
waiting for my return...
