Listen to the song alongside reading if you feel like it!
I awoke to the soft voices whispering over me, a cloth pressed against my face and worried murmurs. "Is she going to be alright?"
"Where did you find her Ilia?" I listened laying still. "Shh, I found her at the spring. I think she'll be just fine, don't worry." A girl said with a huff. I felt a hand on my stomach. A slap was heard. "Hands off of her! She's asleep!" I groaned and opened my eyes, finding children surrounding me. "You're awake! Link! She's awake!" The girl closest to me said smiling, holding a cloth to my head. Another girl stood and laughed. "He went to gather firewood silly." She said. "I'll go get him." The other children stood quickly, other than the girl beside me. "We'll come too!" Said a blonde boy. "Yeah!" The four rushed out of the house as the girl stayed beside me. "It's alright, they're just going to get an adult. I'm Ilia." She murmured.
I blinked softly and groaned slowly sitting up, a wave of nausea hit me. I gagged and leaned over, the bed groaning. "Woah! Hey, are you alright?" Ilia asked grabbing my shoulders. I nodded slowly as she sat me up. "Drink." She urged holding out a cup of water. I took it and slowly sipped the water. Ilia stood and took my hair in hand, braiding it. "If you puke and it gets into your hair it's a mess to wash out." She informed. I nodded softly before pulling the cup away.
"So, what's your name?" Ilia asked in the silence. "(Y/n)." I answered softly before blinking. "How old are you?" Ilia asked smiling. "Seventeen," I said softly, nodding to myself. "Link is seventeen too." She murmured. "And you?" I asked. "I'm sixteen." I nodded slowly and smiled. "Where did you come from?" Ilia asked and that's when everything stopped.
Where did I come from?
I tried to remember, I thought really hard but all I could say was, "I came from a place where no mortal should ever come from if they dare keep their head." I grabbed my throat with wide eyes. That wasn't me, out of all the things I could've said that wasn't what I should've said. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to threaten you," I said softly, Ilia smiled and shook her head. "It's okay, you must have a hard past then." She said smiling at me, in her eyes I could see sorrow. "No," I said. "I don't remember anything," I spoke as the truth rolled off my lips I sat up.
I can't remember. I can't, but I seem to be able to think and function correctly. "Ilia. Where am I?" I asked slowly. She smiled and laughed. "You're in Orodon," Ilia answered as the door opened. "And you'll need to stay here and rest until you're better, okay?" She asked and held up a small pendant of emeralds and onyx. "I found this besides you, maybe it'll trigger a memory." Ilia gave it to me as the four children rushed to me, a young man in tow being dragged along by a small girl.
"See Link! She's awake!" The man, Link, laughed and gently took his hand away to look at me. "I see, Beth." He said and walked over to me, I took account of his outfit and waved at him. "Her name is very interesting, (Y/n), Link." Link looked me over and nodded. "She seems alright, just tired. Your head is bruised that's all, I don't think you have anything to bad to worry about." I nodded slowly as Link held out his hand. "I'm Link." I held out my own hand, for some reason finding the (s/c) an odd shade for me but brushing it off as I shook his hand. "(Y/n), nice to meet you. Uh, thanks for taking me here.. wherever here is." I said quickly as Link smiled. "This is my house, where do you live?" He asked and I blinked. "Uh.." Ilia grabbed Link's arm. "She has amnesia. She doesn't remember anything, or do you (Y/n)?" I shook my head and raked my brain again.
"I had a man who loved me with all his heart, that's all I can remember," I said with a sigh. Link smiled softly. "Your husband?" He asked. "Ew no! My best friend!" I snapped and blinked before smiling. "He.. was my best friend. But I can't remember him, but I know he loved me." I said softly. Link laughed and nodded. "Okay, sounds good." He murmured and looked out his window. "You guys should probably head home, it's late and monsters could come." Beth smiled and nodded. "Okay, Link!" She sang before turning. "Colin! Malo! Talo! Let's go!" She snapped and rushed out. The three followed her grumbling, Ilia giggled. "Well, I guess this is goodnight Link." She said hugging him softly before turning to me. "(Y/n), I'll see you in the morning. Get some rest and I'll show you around." She said smiling. I nodded and yawned. "Thank you, Ilia. I feel so much better now." Ilia smiled warmly and hugged me tightly. "Link will keep you safe for the night." She whispered before pulling away and exiting out the door. After a moment I turned to Link.
"So, where will you sleep?" I asked him. Link scratched his head, looking around. "I guess I can sleep on the chair." He mumbled as I sat up. "No, no," I said and put on the pendant. "It's okay, may I go outside for a bit? I love the twilight." Link smiled and stepped back, letting his arms drop. "Of course, you can do whatever you want. Just make sure someone knows where you are at all times, it's dangerous to go alone." He said softly. I nodded and stood slowly, Link making sure I stood. I wobbled a bit and groaned softly. "That's nausea.." I groaned and Link gingerly walked me over to the door. I smiled and pushed his hand away. "I'm okay now," I said and opened the door, the smell of musty forest and cool night air washing over me. It was new.
I sat down on the edge, Link behind me shutting the door and standing beside it as we looked out together. "I live a bit away from the town by myself, I don't fit in with them." He said softly, frowning. I nodded in understanding, taking in the twilight as the sun dipped below the horizon. "I don't belong here either, but I want to know who I am," I said looking down at the ground below me, spotting a squirrel running past my feet. The wind gently began to blow as Link rested his hand on my shoulder. "If you want (Y/n), I would like to help you find out who you are. I need to leave for castle town to bring a shield to the king in order to prove our loyalty." He said softly. "We can search there." I nodded happily. "Sounds amazing Link, thank you!" I stood and hugged him smiling, happy to have someone to help me with this hell.
As darkness fell and Link led (Y/n) inside the Twilight was spreading throughout Hyrule. Zant was growing ever impatient of his soon to be takeover...
"My lord, when shall I send out the twili?" Zant asked, smiling to himself as he scanned the citizens of the twilight realm now transformed into monsters of pure evil. The Twilight Emissaries, the biggest and strongest turned into creatures that walk on four legs. Zant trailed past them with a snarl. "(Y/n) was once like you all, and if I find out she's been hurt in any way by you I will murder you personally. Understood?" He snapped, the monsters reared back as Zant grabbed at the monsters mane. He pulled them closer and opened up his mouth guard. "Got it?" He hissed angrily, the monster whimpering as Zant tossed him away. "Kill anyone else in my way but (Y/n) stays safe." He called out walking from the Twilight palace, do the middle. An imp sat glaring at Zant bound in chains. "Y-you'll never get away with this Zant, (Y/n) will talk you out of it!" She said panting, Zant chuckled softly.
"(Y/n) isn't here anymore," He said. "She's safe, she won't be hurt through this.." The imp looked up with wide eyes. "You didn't kill her—"
"No! I could never." Zant whispered shakily. "I gave her everything, she is my everything. I made sure she will be safe, if they lay one finger on her I will make them pay!" Zant snarled out, breathing heavily as he slowly calmed himself. The imp growled as Zant lifted her up into the air so the two were face to face. "She doesn't remember a thing, you'll never find her." He murmured. "And I'll make sure you never come back here again." The imp thrashed, kicking about. "I'll come back and take back my home!" She declared. "I'll make you pay Zant!" A portal opened and the imp flew through, as it shut she stood and flew away angrily watching it shut. The imp slowly sunk to the ground and looked out at the twilight consuming the peaceful kingdom. She slowly flew into the air and nodded solemnly.
This kingdom would be saved by the beast of legends.
