Before the Calamity

My father used to say at the time of my birth, I was born with the sun, like the morning light wanted to hold me.  Both warm and peaceful, beautiful and bright, the sun and I were introduced into the world at the same time.  My mother, however, would joke I was an early bird, born before she, or really anyone, expected.  At that, I was born small for an infant, thus my mom gave the nickname “Little Bird.”

Link and Zelda

This was reality.  But I loved her.  I loved her beyond words.  I couldn’t help but laugh, tears suddenly in my eyes.  This was reality.
