Chapter 2 - Ch. 2:Zelda awakens

Zelda's POV

'wha where am I, who am I,' I think feeling water surrounding my head as soft noises filter around my ears. I think what I'm in this place but nothing comes to mind, everything is blank.

Zelda,

Who?

Zelda

Who is this? What you want.

Open your eyes Zelda

I finally listen to the voice and open my eyes up staring at a glowing blue stalactite and a handsome face staring down at me.

" Whaaa," I scream at the face and swing my arms hitting them in their face, scrambling back out of the pool I was in I scoot away from the stranger until my back hits a damp wall. Looking back at the stranger I take a good look at him. He's tall, at least 6'5" with shoulder length Black hair done in a warrior wolf tail. He has deep purple almost black eyes, his outfit a black leather armor that hugs his body.

" You know for someone that has just woken up you've got a mean swing," says the stranger before looking at me. A cold wind blows through the place causing me to shiver and that's when I notice my attire or lack-of.

" Hiyaaa!," I scream trying to cover myself as I see my bottom undergarments ripped and hanging on the edge of the pool I was in. I shift away from the stranger trying to cover my body as best as I can.

" Here," says the stranger holding out his outfit standing in just his undergarment. Taking the clothing I start putting it on. Dragging the pants up past my smooth legs I stop looking at my private place and sigh looking at the overgrown blonde bush.

Finishing putting on the clothing I notice how it hugs my body tightly, clearly magical in nature. Turning back to the stranger I see him looking away from me clearly giving me what little privacy I could afford in this situation. I look at his body feeling not even a little bit guilty since he probably got a look at mine. His body is lean and muscular , and I notice a large bulge in his undergarment. Looking back at him I ask," who are you."

" The name is kyros," says the stranger ' kyros'.

" I guess my name is Zelda, I don't remember anything, do you know what happened?" I ask hoping for answers.

" No I'm sorry, I just came here as well from a small mishap," he says as he looks at a strange pedestal that has started glowing. Walking towards it I see a strange tablet that flows orange before going to blue as I place my hands on the pedestal . The tablet pops up and I grab it lifting it off the pedestal and a door that was really hidden raises up opening to another room with boxes and two chests.

Walking into the room I look at the first chest and bend down to open it. Opening the chest I look inside and diamond a set of dirty and worn male trousers. Picking them up I hand them over to the stranger as I see his bracelet glow before two large wings appear on his body. Deep purple with golden white accents adorned the scales of the wings and large claws simply drapes across his shoulders. He rears back a fist his wings making the same motion and he smashes one of the boxes revealing several apples that appear untouched by time. We continue opening the other chest and box revealing more apples and a worn and dirty tunic. He takes the tunic and trousers and puts them as I collect the apples into a bag that came from the first chest.

We walk the chamber until we meet a rough wall and what appears to be the same strange pedestal as the last room. I rub my hands together and start climbing the slick surface but my hands find purchase, at least until I accidentally slip.

Thud

Falling down I land on something soft yet hard, and upon opening my eyes I'm met with stretched cloth, and a warm breath on my crotch. Taking a second to realize where I was I shriek and hurriedly scramble off kyros. He slowly raises up but I reflexively kick him in the crotch shouting,"pervert!"

" Why, what did I do," he says grabbing his crotch. After apologizing profusely we both climb up the ledge and placing the tablet to the pedestal I hear that voice once more.

Zelda, you've been slumbering for one hundred years.

The land has changed with the rise of calamity Gannon.

Running into the blinding light feeling fresh air and crisp grass beneath my boots but I go to far and fall off a cliff. The ground below rushing towards me but I feel something grab me and feel strong arms holding me, ironically in princess carry. Looking at kyros his wings out and flying us back up to the cliff top using the updrafts around the cliff. Landing on the cliff top I look at my Savior as the early morning sun shines on him giving him a glow.

Rooooaaaarrrrr

I whip my head around and see this monster, demon rise up from this ruined castle in the distance. I look at the monster and it turns its yellow eyes towards us and I fall to my knees in pain. A phantom pain racing across my body as the creature stares before receding back into the castle. A memory flashes through my eyes as I see past overlap with present. A clean hand to bloody hand, a clean plane of grass to a dirt road covered in blood. The sound of birds turning into battle. The castle ruined to being set on fire. A group of men being dragged away by female monsters, while women and some men were being raped by various male monsters before machines came and slaughtered them all without remorse or care.

" Zelda,... Zelda" kyros' worried voice sounding faint in my ears as I shake. Soon his voice comes in sharply as I gasp in agony as the memory fades. He grabs me as I hug him crying into his chest at the painful memory.

" Don't worry Zelda I'll be here," says kyros as I try calming down.
