My mind had left my body. All I had done was trip over the deku tree and I was shot back through time. THANKS PROPHETIC VISIONS. NEXT TIME, YOU MIND TELLING ME I HAVE TO TOUCH THE TREE?
I was shot back to the time I was born. I watched as I was pulled out of mother's womb. After a silent sob, mother held me smiling.
"I have a feeling about this one. She is to be Zelda XV," mother told my father. He only nodded, a slight smile pulling at his lips.
I cried. I had never seen father smile before. And while maybe this wasn't a full blown smile, it was something.
"Zelda XV. Yes. She is special," father said as he held my small crying body.
The vision fast-forwarded a few years. Wait, I remember this moment.
"MOMMY," little 5 year old me cried out. Yes. I had had my first vision. Mother came running into the room.
"Yes dear? What troubles you?" She asked as she cradled me in her arms. She gently stroked my forehead, pushing my long blonde hair out of my eyes. I really was a spitting image of mother.
"Mommy," I sobbed. "There was a big man chasing you! He was wearing a green shirt that was too long. It looked like a dress. And mommy! he followed you and killed you!"
"Oh Zelda," mother cooed. "You don't need to worry about me. It was just a dream."
Little me continued to cry in mother's arms until I fell asleep. She gently laid me down back in my bed. For the first time, I noticed father standing outside my bedroom. I allowed my spirit to follow mother out of the room.
"Honey, you should really listen. You are having the same dream as her. You are both prophetic. Isn't that enough of a draw to listen?" Father stared down mother. Mother looked back at him calmly and with loving eyes. I never knew how mother did that. I could never look father in the eyes.
"It's not worth paying attention to. Besides. The man she described in her dream was Link. Link is my personal knight! My guard! The fated hero! How could he kill me?" Mother asked genuinely. I didn't remember mother ever having a guard. Nor a man named Link.
Father sighed. "Yes Zelda, I suppose you have a point," he said reluctantly. "But I want another knight with you constantly. Just in case".
"Okay. Deal," Mother agreed. She put out her pinky, and Father smiled at her. He made a pinky promise, and pulled mother into a kiss. I cringed.
"Ewwww," I said to myself as they went back to their bedroom. But what was really on my mind was, who was Link? Why don't I remember him? And if he's the fated hero, then why in the world would be kill mother?
