All you need is a little courage

Link belongs to Nintendo. You belong to you.


    Midna settled onto her blanket, and fell asleep again. Link soon did the same on his own blanket, falling into the abyss of sleep... You soon did the same, laying your head on your arms, and shutting your (eye color) eyes, and fell asleep as well.
    You awoke the next morning, yawning and stretching. As you opened your eyes, you saw that Midna was still sleeping. You wonder why she sleeps so much, and you look around to see if Link was still in the cave. You don't see him, and you see Epona gone. You decide to go outside to see if you can see him from the ledge by the cave. You see him by a tree next to a ledge. He was practicing with his sword, swinging it around at what looked like a makeshift dummy. Epona was standing behind the tree, clear of the sword strikes. You decide to go on over and join him, and headed down the trail.
    As you approached him, you slowed your pace. He was still practicing, and you wanted to be sure you weren't hit with his blade. You waited to walk closer until he paused, and you tapped him on the shoulder. He spun around, holding the sword's blade level with your throat. He saw the terrified look on your face and quickly lowered the blade. "Heh... Um... sorry?" He nervously said, rubbing the back of his neck. "Don't sneak up on me while I'm using this thing... I might hit you by accident!~" He winked, and you lightly blushed. "I-I didn't mean to..." You stuttered. "Well, it's okay. Here! Let me show you something! Stand back a bit..." He said, raising his sword. He lunged and preformed what he called the seventh secret move, it was really cool! "Wow, that was awesome!" You said, smiling. "Hey, why don't I teach you how to use a sword?" He asked, smiling too. "Wh-What?!" You asked, scared. "Oh, come on! It's not too hard!" He smiled reassuringly. "O-okay then..." You stuttered. How does he expect me to wield a sword!? Isn't there a reason why everyone who uses a sword is called a swordsmen? You thought to yourself, nervously picking up the sword. "Now, hold it like this!" He stood next to you and positioned your hands correctly over the handle. "Now, hold your arms straight out." You did as you were told. "Bend your arms a little now, like this!" He showed you using his own limbs. "Now, bend your knees a bit, and then strike like this!" He swung his 'Imaginary sword' at an invisible target, a simple horizontal slash. You mimicked him, blowing your (Hair color) hair out of your face. "Awesome! Now, try this!" He preformed an example vertical slash with his imaginary sword.
    The morning continued like this, him preforming a move, and you copying. Soon, you even 'knew' how to preform a spin attack. "That was awesome! You did much better than I thought you would!~" He smiled, taking the somewhat heavy sword. "Thanks I guess..." You said, smiling a bit. "Link? (Your name)? Epona?" The imp that had been sleeping stumbled out of the cave. She saw you and appeared behind Epona a second later. "Why didn't you leave a note or make breakfast or wake me up!?" She asked, a little annoyed. "S-sorry. When I woke up, I found Link and Epona down here... He taught me how to use a few sword strikes though!" You smiled, and your stomach growled. Well, isn't that unattractive... You thought, and Link laughed along with a slight chuckle from Midna and a few neighs from Epona. "Well, lets get something to eat, shall we, (your name)?" Link said, smiling. "Here, you ride Epona back and I'll go and get some fish with Midna. Isn't that right, Midna?" He glanced sideways, with a 'Do it or I'll hurt you' glare. All Midna did was sigh and float over towards him. "Yeah, whatever, lets go Link!" The two scampered off, leaving you with Epona. "Well, girl," You smiled and walked over to her. "You wanna go for a run?" The horse reared and whinnied in approval. "Well, lets go!" You mounted the horse, and vowed not to be gone long.
Sorry it took so long!~ :heart: I've been a bit busy~ Hope you all enjoy, and I'll see you next update!~ :music:
