Drabbles: Growing Up and Unlikley Heroes
Title: Growing Up
Fandom: The Legend of Zelda (OOT)
Characters: Sheik, Impa
Prompt: 045. Moon
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG(/-13) [mature situations]
I had to choke back a scream.
Everything around me was covered in blood: my clothing, grass, rags and now my hands.
I was only 13 years old. Later on, Impa would tell me that had my dear mother still been alive, she would have taught me about it as all mothers do.
But that information didn't help me as I stood in the forest, alone.
There was a crack of a twig and Impa stood there. I turned to her, trembling, my red eyes overflowing with tears making small rivulets down my muddy cheeks and my hair hanging limply over my face.
She walked forward and clutched me close, blood and everything.
"I'm sorry." she whispered into my hair.
Title: Unlikley Heroes
Fandom: The Legend of Zelda (OOT)
Characters: Sheik, Link, Myriad of Monsters
Prompt: 026. Teammates
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG [little bit of violence]
Author's Notes: Based on this promotional OOT picture. I like the idea of this sort of banter between Link and Sheik.
Sheik dodges and parries while Link beside him slashes with the Master Sword.
"What the hell did you do to aggravate these bastards?!" Sheik calls over the cacophony of monsters.
"I tripped on a bombflower, that's all!" Link replies.
With a cry of rage, Sheik lunges for a wolf and slashes it's throat with his blades.
"Perhaps you should mind your footing a bit more." he manages to get out under a Stalchild. Link slashes it's bones apart with one swipe.
"Thanks." Sheik says, springing to his feet.
"Don't mention it." Link replies. "Hey, you try saving the world at seventeen!"
"I am!" Sheik screams as he leaps on the back of a Moblin.
Link then spins around and in a flash of magic, and the last of his enemies are obliterated.
Sheathing his sword, he turns to Sheik, arm extended.
"Well done--"
But he is alone.
