Y/N and Link got to the tower on the Great Plateau. In other news, I got a Nintendo Switch for Christmas and Breath of the Wild! I've played the game, now!

I push myself up when the shaking stops. I look around.

"Link? Where are you?" I call. I look all over, even looking over the edge. Link ends up hanging off the edge by his fingertips. I grab his wrist and help pull him up. He smiles at me and we walk to the pedestal. Now we have a map of the area. Cool.

"Well, that's useful." Link shrugs. I nod. He chuckles and takes the Sheikah Slate back, putting it on a holder on his hip. It's night now. But the moon is a deeper red than most Blood Moons. I mentally gasp. Link sees me looking up and looks at the moon.

"What in Hyrule?" Link yelps. I sigh.

"Let's climb down quick, ok?" I say, running to a spot we can climb down and literally jump down onto the platforms until I hit the ground, running to an empty space. I stop near the forest nearby.

"What's all the running for?" Link asks breathlessly, stopping next to me. After a quick glance at the moon, I shove Link into a bush.

"Don't come out until I say, ok?" I say. Link nods after seeing the serious look on my face, crouching down into the bush. I turn toward Hyrule Castle and cringe. Red string-like tendrils shoot out of nowhere and wrap around my wrists and ankles, lifting me into the air. I growl and fight against them. These Extreme Blood Moons only happen on my birthday and usually, defeated monsters don't return and I end up knowing a new combat technique by the end of the night. They're all deadly both to pull off and to get hit by. This kind of thing with the tendrils never happens. A circle made of some tendrils appears in front of me and Calamity Ganon appears in it. I gasp and try to escape, struggling more fiercely than before. I grunt when the tendrils ho,ding me shake, forcing me to stop. I glare at Ganon.

"Pawn, kill the hero! You were created and trained for this!" Ganon orders. I shake my head.

"No! He's my friend! I would never do that! Besides the fact he's my first ever friend." I retort. Ganon sighs.

"Do I have to kill you myself?" Ganon hisses. I shake my head.

"Not unless you want to give Link another reason to kill you." I say. Ganon sighs again.

"Just kill him. I might have to send someone else to if you won't."

"I'd never kill him! I already said that." Ganon's tendrils throw me to the ground, holding me down. The circle Ganon is using to communicate with me turns so it's above me, making me look at it. A fifth tendril suddenly shoots through my left side, wrapping itself around my other side, as well. It squeezes my sides until I scream in pain. Ganon laughs maniacally as the tendril squeezes harder. The tendril eventually releases me, only to stab itself through my right side, as well. It pulls away and leaves. The other tendrils leave as well, including Ganon's ugly face. I'm left gasping for air as Link pokes his head out of his bush.

"I can come out now, right?" He asks. I turn my head toward him and give a slow nod. He sprints out and wraps his arms around my shoulders, careful about my sides. Feeling scared since Link didn't know that about me, I shove myself up from the ground and run into the woods. I don't honestly care about my sides. I just run as far and fast as I can. I gasp for air a few minutes later, leaning heavily on a tree. I know I can run farther than this.

"My sides. . . " I trail off as everything goes black and I hit the ground.

"Hey! Y/N! Are you ok?" I hear someone ask. It's hard to tell who it is. I groan and open an eye. I can't open my left eye for some reason. Link looks down at me with a worried expression. I have no idea where I am. Wood boards lie flat above me as a ceiling. I groan again. I'm laying on something soft. I shoot up and look around. I have absolutely no idea where we are. Nothing looks familiar. 

"L-Link?" I ask. I squeak when he hugs me tightly. "Where are we?"

"Oh!" Link pulls back, gripping my shoulders gently. "Well, we're in Kakariko Village. Impa, the leader of the Sheikah, told me to carry you up here after I met her. I carried you through all the shrines and I somehow carried you off the Great Plateau. Oh, and the old guy was actually King Rhoam and told me about the Calamity's original attack 100 years ago."

"Woah." I say. Link hugs me again. I wrap my arms around his sides and bury my face in his shoulder. "I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"Running off. Back after Ganon's message or whatever that was. I just was scared you'd be mad at me." I say, trying to bury my face even further into his shoulder, trying to hide tears that threaten to fall. Link sighs and gently makes me pull back. I sniff as a tear runs down my face.

"I'm not mad." He says. He cups my cheeks in his hands and brushes the tear away with his thumb. I lean my head into his left hand, closing my eyes. "I just wish things could have been different."

"Like me never having been created by that thing?"

"Yeah. Or this whole Calamity business altogether." He says with a laugh. I blink hard, trying to make my tears go away, but it just forces them down my cheeks. Link pulls me close again. I wrap my arms under his arms and grip his shoulders, burying my face in his chest. Link rubs my back and rests his head on mine. I try not to shake too much, but it's almost like I'm an earthquake.

"I wish that, too." I say, but it's muffled by Link's shirt.

"Here, let's give you something else to worry about." Link says. I look up at him and sniff. "Close your eyes and trust me." I nod and shut my eyes.

"Now what?" I ask.

"Trust me." Link says. I feel something on my mouth and open an eye. My eyes widen when I see what he's doing. Link is kissing me.
