Ferondir of Mira -- Arbour Harbor
Ferondir fell into a dream. No, a memory.
Eight years previous...
Ferondir’s mother had told him to be careful. As she always did when he went out into Hyrule field to play with his two best friends. Little Zeph was only six, a year younger than her own son. And Little Cassandra, a year older.
This trio of troublemakers were running through the tall grass, on their way to their special tree, when they stumbled upon a stampig as large as them. A smaller stampig stood beside her.
“Aw, look at that,” Cassie said. “Isn’t it just so cute?” She crouched down and her shoulder length red hair fell into her face she brushed it behind her ear and put her hand out to pat the pup on the head.
The sow snorted and threw its head up, clearly warning the Hylian children not to touch its pup.
“Cassie,” Ferondir said, stepping forward to pull her arm back. “I don’t—”
At his movement, the sow lunged forward and grabbed the boy’s arm. The other two screamed as the sow tossed the young Ferondir to one side.
Zephyrus pulled out his dagger, and ran at the beast. “Hey, bully!”
At the loud noise, both stampigs disappeared into the grass.
“Ferondir!” Cassie and Zeph shouted.
“I’m here!” he managed, in between gasps of pain.
“Your arm!” Cassie said.
“It’s bloody,” said Zeph.
They stared at Ferondir, unsure of what to do.
Cassie ran off, to get help, and Zeph continued to stand there, shocked at what had happened.
Ferondir got over the initial shock of seeing the blood seeping from his wound, and started bawling.
Cassie returned, with the village elder. Who scanned the scene and promptly scooped up Ferondir.
Presant day...
Ferondir woke with a slight start, and grabbed his arm instinctively.
