Dorms

[Tetra had woken up a couple weeks ago with her moms jacket folded neatly on the top of her trunk. She'd been spending the entire time since then just laying with it as her blanket or just trying to wear it, despite how much larger it was than her. Now though, she'd gotten the idea that Zelda might like it. Her princess dresses always seemed so chilly and her mom had never gotten cold with this jacket, that she could remember. So, off to Zelda's room!]

Library

[Here, Tetra could be found curled up really snug on a comfy chair with a story book in her lap. It looks like she might be falling asleep though, mostly because she'd been there most of the day.]

[As Tohko wandered the library, shelving books and cleaning up a few messes, she noticed Tetra sitting in a comfy chair with a book in her lap. Tohko chuckled to herself. While Tetra looked cute and cozy sleeping there, it probably wasn't the safest of spots to sleep, so she quietly walked over to the girl and put a hand on her shoulder.]

Tetra..? Come on, Tetra. It's time to wake up.

[Tetra just groaned and curled up in the chair, closing the book and hugging it to her like a normal kid would hug a doll. The cover was in a more modern Hylian script but it was a story book. And at the moment, she wasn't concerned about whether it was safe to sleep here or not.]

Noooo...

[Tohko did not feel good about that 'no', or the actions that came with it. It reminded her of the nightmare she had every now and then, and how she had acted towards them.]

Tetra? What's wrong? Are you having a nightmare?!

[Oh no, she wasn't having a nightmare. But she was a kid who simply did not like being woken up when she was falling asleep or comfortable. Besides, being here was a nightmare enough, her dreams couldn't scare her any more.]

Don't wanna.

[Tohko sighed, a small smile on her face.] Alright then. Go back to sleep, if you want.

[Tohko then picked up the girl, taking care that the book didn't fall out of her hands. While she was a bit heavy, she couldn't just leave her there when she was so sleepy. Someone might try to hurt her. It was probably best to put her in her dorm bed. So, that's where Tohko started walking to.]

[She didn't need telling twice, easily drifting back to sleep.

...

At least, until Tohko tried picking her up. Then she was wide awake and looking around, surprised!]

Eh..?

[Oh no...Tohko hadn't planned on this, and she quickly spoke.]

Oh no! I'm so sorry..you were really tired, so I thought I'd put you in your dorm room so that you could get some sleep without getting hurt. I'm so sorry...

Huh, no. It's fine.

[Nobody but her mom and Zelda ever tried to carry her before.]

I'm not that tired, it's just a storybook my mom user t'read me. Always made me sleepy.

Oh, alright then. It's nice that you have that momento of your mom. If you don't mind..may I read it to you?

Kinda a memento, it was here in the library. I didn't keep a lot'a books on the ship. The sea air didn't agree with 'em.

[She takes a moment to think it over then nods, offering her the book.]

It's got lots'a old legends and stuff in it too. Ye might like it.

[Tohko chuckled.]

I'm not surprised. Paper and water are two things that don't mix very well sometimes.

[Of course, a good story could sometimes get even more delicious when it was lightly soaked in water, but Tohko wasn't going to mention that. Tohko took the book, carried Tetra back to the chair, and sat down, the girl in her lap. Tohko felt like a grandmother, and grinned.]

I probably will. I like all sorts of stories, so there has to be at least one here that I'll like. Of course..I'll probably enjoy all of them on some level.

[Tohko opened the book so that both she and Tetra could see it and began reading the first story.]

[It almost felt like she was sitting with her mom on the ship again but that was a long time ago and this definitely was not her mom. It wasn't bad though and hearing the stories from someone else was kind of fun.

She could still hear a certain pirate captains voice though. So Tetra just got comfortable and listened.]

Once upon a time, there was an old fisherman who lived with his son on a nice houseboat. While the fisherman loved his son, he was constantly fighting with him, as the son had a unique gift. He was a wonderful flute player, and the dolphins and other marine life usually stopped by the boat in order to listen.

The boy considered these animals his friends, and was horrified whenever his father tried to capture a few of them. It wasn't like the father enjoyed this, but he had found that food and animals were scarce in the open ocean, so you had to grab what you could. The son sometimes ruined fishing equipment in order to get his father to stop, but the father always managed to repair it or find new ways to catch fish and his friends.

One evening, after a particularly loud argument, the father grabbed his sons flute and tossed it overboard in a fit of rage. The son dove after the flute, not wanting to lose his most precious possession. While the father was sad and mad at himself, no matter how hard he tried, he never found his son again. But, every evening, he could hear someone playing a flute underneath the water. Even though he never saw what was making the music, he always though it was his son, trying to find his way home again.

A year passed, and one day, the fisherman ran into a boy that was swimming in the water, trying to get somewhere. The fisherman, reminded of his son, couldn't just leave him there, so he offered the boy a good meal and a nights rest. The boy happily accepted, and the fisherman offered him some warm dry clothes.

That evening, during dinner, the boy told the fisherman that he had found another world that lay beside the one that they were in and that he was trying to find something in that world. The fisherman, thinking that his son could have made it to that other world, asked the boy to dive down and see if his son was there. The boy, being a kindhearted person, said he would.

That evening, the boy dove down into the water, and using a mirror, entered the other world. There, humans looked like animals, and the scenery changed a little. Instead of an ocean, he was standing in a dried up wasteland, and instead of a boy, he was a rabbit as tall as a human. Standing not too far away, was a tall hamster, playing a flute. Some creatures were standing around, listening to the beautiful tune.

The hero approached the group, and told the hamster how worried his father was back home. The hamster sighed when he heard this. While he had enjoyed his time in this other world, he loved his father and didn't want him to suffer. Perhaps they could work out their differences. And so, the hero managed to bring the son back into the real world, and the fisherman and his son were happily reunited.

The hero moved on the next day, and the fisherman and his son decided on a compromise. While the son could have animal friends, he would also use his powers to help his father, and in exchange, the father wouldn't hurt his friends.

And so, the two lived peacefully until the end of their days.

[What a warm and delicious story..it tasted like a sourdough roll with some sweet cream inside. Of course, Tohko wasn't going to eat Tetra's storybook.]

[It was a very good story, one of Tetra's favorites in fact. Her mother had only read it once before, since Tetra had been very little when she'd died, but she remembered it. It was the only time she didn't fall asleep when her mom read her bedtime stories.]

That one was always my favorite.

[Tohko smiled at that.]

Well, it is a pretty de-erm, good story. It's hard not to like this one.

Why don't ya take it along with ya and pick a favorite story? The story about the Hero of Time is another one'a my favorites but it's nothin' compared to meetin' the real Hero.

Oh, I couldn't do that! This books is important to you, right? I couldn't just take it from you. Although..what is the story about The Hero of Time? I haven't heard that one.

It's a library book anyway, I didn't bring any along when I got brought here.

The Hero of Time? He was great! He saved all of Hyrule from the evil Gerudo, Ganondorf, and he was the person that had the Triforce of Courage.

[Fangirling!]

Well, you could keep this one then. I don't think anyone would mind.

[Tohko smiled at that. So he wasn't just a character in a story.]

That's pretty amazing! Although..how did he stop Ganon? And what is the Triforce of Courage?

You really think so?

[Thinking about it. Seriously thinking about it.]

Well, the Hero has this special sword called the Master Sword an' it's the only weapon that can truly beat him an' he saved all the Sages so that they could help him seal Ganon away.

And the Triforce of Courage is one of the pieces of the Triforce that the Goddesses left behind when they finished creating the world. Princess Zelda has the piece of Wisdom and Ganondork got Power. And when all three pieces are combined, the person that touches it gets to make a wish, any wish, and the goddesses has to grant it.

Yup! I don't think anyone would. And if anyone found out, I am a librarian. I'll just say that you're 'borrowing' it for a long time.

[Even though that would be an abuse of power. Whoops. Tohko nodded as Tetra spoke. She remembered hearing about the Master Sword before..she had just forgotten about it until now.]

Why can only that sword beat him? And those Sages must have been pretty powerful if they managed to seal Santa of Evil away.

[Pardon the nickname.]

I see..that sounds like a pretty powerful object then! I wonder how a jerk like Santa of Evil got stuck with the Piece of Power. However..since two of those people are in the Tower right now, isn't it possible that Ganon could steal the Piece of Wisdom?

Great!

[It was for a semi-good cause at least!]

It's the only sword with the power to repel evil, blessed by the gods. And only the hero can use it.

[Hee hee.]

He could but it wouldn't do him no good unless he can get the Triforce of Courage. And the hero would never ever let him get it.

[Tohko grinned. Even if it was an abuse of power, she was glad that she was helping out. She'd feel terrible if someone barred her from Konoha's book, so she didn't want to do that to Tetra.]

That's pretty cool..but why can only the hero use it? Did the gods bless him too? And that's true..I doubt a good hero would let Santa of Evil get the final piece of the Triforce.

[You'll have to deal with that nickname, Tetra. It's never going away.]

Yeah, they call him the Hero Chosen by the Gods. There's been lots of heroes. The Hero of Time is legendary and I'm best friends with the Hero of Winds.

[She doesn't mind at all. If it pisses Ganon off, it's perfect.]

I see. So only people who are chosen by the gods get to use things that the gods blessed. That makes sense..but who are the Hero of Time and the Hero of Winds? I'm unfamiliar with them..but it's great that you're friends with one of them!

[Well, since Ganon seems to hate it, then it shall be fine.]
