Wake up…
You have to wake up…
We need you…Link
Link slowly opens his eyes; a vision of a blurry golden and black sky came into view. He slowly pushes himself up as he grabs his head and rubs it gently. As his vision quickly regain, he looks around his surroundings. It was Hyrule, or so he thinks. It was decade more than usual. Did the calamity return? No that wasn’t possible. He stands on his feet and dusts himself off. He looks behind him and found a large ravine. The ravine seemed like an endless pit from where Link was standing. There was no bottom and not light. He turns back to the land looks at his surrounding, dead. Everything around him seemed dead. No life, practically no color. Link grew suspicious and curious about this “Hyrule". He sighs as he walks away from the ravine. He looked at the trees, they almost looked like silhouettes. Link walked up to a tree and saw a bit of a fate color, brown. Was it still alive? Was everything else alive? Maybe.
Link continues to walk around hoping to see something, anything at this point. He hasn’t run across a lizard, dragonfly or even a butterfly. “What is this place?” he said aloud to himself. He kept walking, he noticed the grass also had a faint color, green. He examined his surrounding, grass, trees and flowers. He noticed a couple of silhouette mounts in the distance. “Maybe if I climb up there I can get a better view" he said to himself. He soon found a large bolder and began to climb. He wasn’t high enough. “I need to be higher…” he jumps off the bolder and noticed a nearby mountain. He walked over to it and began to climb. It was a hard climb for him, he couldn’t tell if it was steep or a bit of rock poking out unless he caught it at an angle, then again that was also a problem, he couldn’t tell how far it was from him. After what seemed like a difficult climb he reaches the top and looks around. It was a beautiful sight, the tree and mountain silhouette where highlighted by the brightly dim gold color of the sky. He couldn’t believe how beautiful something with little color could be. He shook his head and began to scout out any signs of life. As he looked he saw what looked like smoke in the distance. It was coming from forest like area. “Finally, life.” He said with a smile and sigh of relief. He then pulls out his Shiekah slate and tries to figure out where it was. Static. “…of course," he sighed with a visibly annoyed face. He squinted his eyes to get just the right view and angle of the smoke before jumping off the mountain and paragliding his way to the smoke.
Once he was close enough, he dropped down and looked at the forest of trees in front of him. Still dark and barely color. He walks in making little sound as possible, just in case it was an enemy. He sniffed the air, he was close. He could hardly wait to see what was on the other side of the shrubs. As soon as he passed he was standing in an open area. This didn’t make scene. He cursed under her breath as he walked around to see if anything was here, “This doesn’t add up, I saw smoke, I smelled it, why isn’t there anything- “Before he could finish his thoughts his attention pulled him to a hole in the ground. He looked at it closely and sure enough, it there was smoke coming from it. He got closer to it before getting on his knees and being to dig. “come, on what is this?” he mumbles to himself. As he continued he felt eyes on him. He soon stopped and turned to face what was looking at him only to be greeted by a heavy fist knocking him out instantly.
Link suddenly woke ready to attack. He looked at his surrounding and was surprised to see he was in a room, a normal looking room. He panted a bit as his eyes cut to a desk. On the desk where papers and his cloths neatly folded. And at the side of the desk was his shield and sword. The shield looked as if it was polished. He slowly stood up and walked over to his cloths and began to put them on. He grabbed his sword and shield and turned to desk and looked at the papers. They were medical notes. He picked them up and looked over them.
“Patient seems to have multiple battle wounds from previous fights, might attempt to help heal them a bit better.”
“Patient has blue eyes, looks good on him, but his vision is a 20/20”
“Patients’ blood is bright red, which is a sign of healthy living, then again this is Link after all.”
“Patient was found outside of base digging up our chimney. I put a stop to it, the noise alone was pissing me off so I punched him in the face and knocked him unconscious, I didn’t break his nose but I did bruise it tho, nothing like a quick heal can fix before he awakes.”
Link was in utter shock, not only was he knocked out by this stranger, but they were also a doctor? Why couldn’t they just tap his shoulder and told him to stop!?! He grabs his head in frustration, “Okay, I’m going to have a long talk with whoever this is!” he growled. He swung open the door hard and was about to stomp out until he noticed some standing there.
She jumped and nearly screamed when opened the door with such force. He too was startled by the random figure in front of him. He looked her up and down noticed she was a Zora and a slightly tall one. She looked down at Link mouth slightly a gap. He looked back at her for a bit. “Why does she look familiar?’ he thought. He opened his mouth to say something but the Zora girl quickly runs off down the long corridor, “WAIT!!!” shout Link as he began to race after her.
She looks back at him to see how close he was to her, he was catching up to her quickly and she began to pick up more speed. Link reaches out to try and grab her back-head fin but was soon thrown back by an arm. His head the ground hard and he let out a loud grown. He slowly opens his eyes and was face to face with a woman. She was physically fit and her abs told her so, she had dark brown skin and her hair was a bright red, yeah, she was Gerudo.
“Damn you’re noisy…” she groans as he picks Link up with ease and throws him over her shoulder. Link could smell the alcohol seeping off of her breath, “excuse me, but WHO ARE YOU!?!” he couldn’t help but shout that last bit. The women groans again and shakes her head. “Ask me that again, but when I’m sober, right now Link, you need rest!” she walks back to the room he was in and throws him on the bed. He grunts his he felt his body hit the semi hard bed. The Gerudo women looked down at Link and the sat down on the chair by the desk. “How does your back feel?” she said grabbing some of her notes and began to write down. “It’s a little sore, and my head isn’t any- wait, WHO- “Before he could finish his sentence the Gerudo women shot him a glare that silenced him really quickly. Link sighed and ran a hand though his hair before speaking again, but more calmly, “who are you, where am I?” She continued to jot down notes seeming as if she didn’t hear him. Link took a small gulp and asked again, “Who are you and where am I?” Her eyes cut to him as a smirk crept across her face. “You know, I Have no clue where we are…But I will tell you my name, its Kiarta…I am wondering doctor, I’ve studied Gerudo, Hylian, Goron, Rito and Zora healing technique “
Link hated to admit it, but that pretty damn impressive. It was almost unheard of, of a doctor taking the time to learn how to heal all of the people in Hyrule. “...That’s” “Impressive? Ridiculous? Yeah, I know.” She let out a little hiccup and shook her head, “ugh, Listen, Link rest up, we will talk more in the morning.” She slowly stands up and pushes the chair away from her and heads for the door. Link watched as Kiarta left the room in a swaying kind of motion. He felt a little uneasy knowing this woman was a doctor.
