Since it is Halloween. 🎃
The Dead Tell Tales

A Legend of Zelda Fanfiction by me.

This will go up in auto threads over the course of the day or days. It is a short story, but even those can be quite long.

At the end, I will put up links to each part.

Part One

“Name? It has been a very long time since I used a name,” he said, moving slightly and giving off a sound like dead leaves skittering across a courtyard.

“Ah, well then, what was your name? Or do you not want to tell me,”
I said.

We met while I was walking in the forest. I had been meandering, you know the way you will sometimes when you have nothing pressing to do and time is stretched so that you feel as if the whole universe is yours. It was a fine day and the air was sweet with the scent of trees.

At first, I did not notice the person, for that is what at first I supposed the follower to be. But something, it could have been a noise or a feeling, broke through into my mind and I had stopped and turned around.

The sight that met my eyes made me start and my heart skipped a beat. I felt as if time stood still and I was now in a land of dreams.

Bones, that was all it was. Walking bones. The thing was taller than me and the whiteness of the bones gave off a glow.

Empty eyes and a grin that never left were the only features on this pale face. I had started to back away, searching my mind for an explanation for this apparition before me. Nothing came to my aid, not a hint as to why this was happening.

“Don’t go.” the bones said. Its voice was nothing more than a raspy whisper. Reaching out a bleached hand it sought to grab me. I had taken another step back, the urge to flee growing stronger.

“Who are you?” I had said, my voice breaking a little as if from disuse. I cleared my throat and tried to find a stance that would convey the message that I was not someone to be messed with, not even by a spectre.

“Ah,” Bones whispered. “That is a tale indeed. Would you sit with me awhile and I will tell you my story.”

“Why do you want to tell me a story?” There was a slight note of hysteria in my voice now.

Bones shifted and a sound of clicking reached my ears. With empty eyes, it searched my face.

“Come, sit with me. This log here will do.” Bones rasped.
