The Abandoned Child
Author's Note: This is just an introduction. I promise you (hopefully) that my chapters will be longer. Enjoy!
*I changed her name to Maryn 'cause Suki was just bugging me. Sorry to anyone who liked it.
The rain was pouring hard in Hyrule. The clouds were gray and enormous, thundering bolts emitted from them constantly. It was around midnight when a dark, cloaked figure traveled to Lake Hylia. She was carrying a small child in her arms.
The woman ran onto the bridge, scanning her surroundings to see if anyone was watching her. When she was sure no one was, she raised the baby over the side of the bridge. With a deep breath, the woman let go of the baby. She turned away and ran before she could tell if the baby hit the water.
A Zora, who had been watching from afar, quickly swam to catch the child before it hit the water. He looked at the baby in his arms. It was crying now. The little baby's screams pained his ears. He tried to hush its cries while looking frantically around him for help. With no luck he gave a sigh and continued to suppress the incessant wailing.
An hour had passed before the baby was finally asleep. He smiled at her warmly. With a wince he plucked but a single scale from his body and placed it on the child. The child in his arms, the Zora sank to the bottom of Lake Hylia and swam through the portal which led to the Zora's Domain.
As the Zora resurfaced, he checked to see if the baby was ok. She let out a little gurgle which let him know she was. With that, he waded ashore and rushed up the winding path and stairs. He came to a sudden halt when he reached the throne room. Straightening up and inhaling deeply, he then slowly climbed up the stairs onto the platform and presented the baby to the King. The Zora explained what he had witnessed to his majesty. The King pondered for a moment. His choice was clear: "We will take this child in and raise her as our own kind. You shall be her care taker, if you are willing to assume this responsibility."
"Yes sire. But...what shall we name her?" The Zora inquired.
"We will name her... Maryn"
