A Forgotten Love

When morning came, Link didn't want to raise from the bed. But when he heard the door open, he groaned and put a pillow over his face. Muttering something to the one waking him up, clearly that didn't work since the sunlight shined through the window. Making him sigh and get up. He saw white and blue. He frowned. Shining god damn Armor! He growled and got up, putting his sword on his back with his shield covering it. Fixing his hair and brushing his teeth, putting on his hat, he walked out. Seeing many guards waved to him and smile, he returned the favour in the same way. This would be a long day of training the guards.

On his way there, though, he saw Luna. He smiled and gave her a wave, not seeing a wall. He just about hit it, which made him frown and he kicked it instead. Once in the training grounds, Shining Armor was watching with Twilight. He growled at him. Link had many guards line up and fight him, but one of them was the very same guard he had trained yesterday. He smiled and fought him. But in the middle of the fight, Shining came in and kicked Link on the ground.

"Hey!" Link yelled, "The hell!? What did you do that for!?"

"Shut up Human!" Link growled at his respond, "You have no right to be training them!"

"Actually Shiny, he does." They both turned to Twilight, "You HAVE no right to treat him like that."

Link found himself smiling at Twilight's statement, but Shining Armor was having none of it. He was going to prove that Link was nothing! Wasn't a hero! And much more!

"But he's out of place!" Link froze, did Shining Armor really just say that? "What kind of parents raise their kid like that!?" No. No. He didn't just say 'parents'! "I mean, he's parents must be some kind of idiots!"

"...." Link said nothing, he was hurt. He never met his parents before and now they were being called idiots!? "...."

"What's the matter Human!?" Shining said, raising his voice, "Got nothing to say?"

"My parents died. I never met them." That was all Link could say, shocking many guards. "So...How can you call them idiots?"

"Shiny," Twilight began, "You went way to far. You don't even think about what your going to say, you just assume the worst."

Link didn't move, he couldn't even think right. He got up, put his sword away, and left the training grounds. He didn't want to hear anything from him or anyone else right now. He stopped and looked to his right, seeing the two elder princesses, he frowned and gave them a death glare. He ran out of the castle and didn't stop when he heard his name being called.

He's parents must be some kind of idiots!

The words ran through his mind like a lighting bolt, replaying over and over again. He put his hands over his ears, wishing the words would stop and leave him be. But they didn't. He didn't care how long he ran, or where he went, he just wanted to be far away from that hell as possible! He couldn't run for much longer, so he stopped when he reached a forest. He started to breathe heavily as he sat down under a tree.

"Far, far, from that hell hole." Link muttered to himself, "No one makes fun of my parents! But...I can't do anything! Me against magic? Sure, I went up against magic before, but not that kind of magic!"

"Way to go Shining!"

"You made him run!"

"Can't believe you!"

"Exile him!"

"He doesn't need us!"

"Let him defend this kingdom ALONE!"

Twilight sighed as many guards fought each other, siding with one and another. She looked at her brother in the middle of the circle, the other princesses coming out to the training grounds. Their faces with a frown, Shining looked scared. And that wasn't normal! Twilight was just as mad as her fellow Princesses.

"Shining Armor!" Celestia spoke, getting everyone attention, "Care to explain why we saw Link running away?"

"Um..." Shining stuttered, "I made him....Mad? Yeah! Mad! I made him mad!"

"More like sad." A guard said, getting a glare from Twilight. "Just saying."

Twilight glared at her brother, feeling ashamed of him. Never had she seen him like this.  Shining could feel each set of eyes of every guard and princess. He was in deep trouble. Trouble that wouldn't be dealt with so easy, but hard and mean like. He gulped and took a step forward to his sister and the other princesses.

"I can explain!" He pleaded, "Just please don't take my title away!"

"Why?" Twilight asked, "We could."

"Twi! Please! Don't say things like that!"

"But we can Shining Armor." Celestia said, giving Shining a glare of death, "And we won't refuse to either. You don't have a say in this."

At this moment, Shining could actually feel his stomach tightening and feeling sick. He hoped they wouldn't take his title away but he really had no say in this at all! So whatever they did, he couldn't say no to. But if he did, then he would end up in a cell. So, not his best day so far out of his life.

Whatever they choose, is what I have to live with. Shining Armor thought to himself, waiting for the answer to come. Hoping it wouldn't be so bad.
