Chapter 10: No ordinary wolf
Ivee splashed up water with her feet while she was having a paddle in Firly Pond. Even though it was already mid autumn, it was still nice and warm outside. She absent mindedly rubbed a hand over her baby bump, which really started to show now. “Should we get a dog?” she pondered.
Link was sitting next to her, skilfully gutting and filleting a fish for dinner. “I have a dog,” he said.
“You do?”
“Well, technically, it’s a wolf. But he’s very loyal. He often protects me on the field.”
“How come I’ve never seen him?”
“Thought he might scare you. Like I said, it’s a wolf. But he’d never hurt good people like me and you, though.”
“Well, in that case, I’d love to see him.”
“After dinner, okay?”
“Okay.” Ivee inhaled deeply. Evening air always smelled so good. She watched how birds started picking at the remains of the fish that Link had thrown to the side, and she smiled to herself. Not about the birds. Just about how happy she was. There were more or less fixed times now on which Link had to go see Princess Zelda for work. No more getting warped away at unexpected moments. Life was good. “How are things at the castle now?”
“Ah yeah, I haven’t told you yet.” Link wrapped the fish in a piece of parchment and came sitting next to her, rinsing his hands in the pond. “At first sight, it looks like Ganon is still there. But it’s an illusion created by Zelda’s magic. Really cool. It’s an ideal environment for soldiers who want to train, and many of them often do. So, I was thinking… When we have a son… When he’s old enough, I’d want to take him there.”
“Isn’t it dangerous?”
“Well, you do get slapped around a bit, but that’s how you learn.” The simplicity he’d said it with made Ivee raise her eyebrows. “Hey, relax. It’s not the real Ganon.”
Ivee nodded, hesitantly. “Link?”
“Hm?”
“What if it’s a girl?” At one point, one of them would have to raise that question.
“A girl can also be trained to save Hyrule. Look at Zelda, Mipha and Urbosa. They’re all women.”
“But isn’t it expected of you to have a male successor?”
“Then we’re just gonna have to have another one.”
“That’s easy for you to say. You don’t have to carry it. You don’t have to cut back on alcohol and various kinds of food. You don’t have to change your body and push it out through a way too narrow tunnel at the end.”
Link was quiet for a bit after that little rant. “Well, if we have a girl, and you don’t want to have another one, then we could always raise her as a boy.”
“You don’t even sound like you’re joking.”
“It’s gonna be either that or have babies until we have a boy. There are women who pretend to be a man, just so they can fight for their country. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if a couple of the soldiers at the castle are women.” With the fish done, he rinsed his knife into the pond and stored it in his pouch. “Here.” He gave her the fish, along with a kiss on her cheek. “I’ll go find some herbs to go with it.”
Ivee huffed, her mind still lingering over the possibility of it being a girl. She decided not to dwell on it for too long, hoping for the best. “Yes, you go on ahead. I still have to dry my feet.” Humming to herself while she was drying her feet and putting on her boots, she thought that she saw a flash of blue light from the corner of her eye, the kind of blue Link would be enveloped in when he was being warped away. Must’ve been her imagination. With Ganon defeated now, surely, he wouldn’t get summoned any more.
“Ivee!” she heard him shouting from a little distance. He sounded panicked. She turned around just in time to see the blue wisps fading into the air. “No! Ganon is defeated! Defeated!” she shrieked, running to the spot where he had disappeared. “You cannot have him any more!” She felt the beginnings of a tantrum brewing within, but the little baby stirring inside her belly reminded her that she no longer had the freedom to throw tantrums whenever she wanted. Defeated, she sank to her knees and sighed.
Well, at least she had a filleted fish.
How long? How long would they keep him away from her this time? It had been two days. She did realise that before, he’d been gone for longer than that, but now she still hadn’t taken peace with it yet. The frustration from how they still wouldn’t leave him in peace, made her squeeze her broomstick so hard that her knuckles were white.
When she saw him approaching in the distance, she threw her broomstick to the side and stomped towards him. She kept telling herself that she mustn’t be angry. It wasn’t his fault. “What happened? I thought you wouldn’t get summoned any more now that Ganon’s defeated!” In spite of herself, she sounded a bit irritated.
Link held up his hands in apology. And a bit of fear, he must admit. “I’m afraid it’s not that simple. I’ve told you before that a lot of side quests still have to be done.”
Ivee thought hard. Had he told her this? Must’ve been after sex. Her mind was always a bit fuzzy then.
“And also, more trials have appeared, trials that weren’t there before.”
“More trials?” she whined dramatically.
“I’m so sorry.”
“But in between the time Ganon was defeated and now, you didn’t get summoned any more. Then why now, all of a sudden?”
“I did get summoned. But not so often any more. And when I did, it always happened while I was on the road with Zelda.”
“Will there never be an end to it then?”
“I wish I had an answer to that. I’m always subject to the whim of someone else.”
Ivee angrily crossed her arms in front of her chest, kicking up dirt. The tears that were prickling behind her eyelids subsided when she felt Link wrapping his arms around her from behind, placing his hands on her belly.
“We mustn’t let this come between us,” he murmured, nuzzling along her ear.
“You’re right, I’m sorry,” Ivee sighed. She inhaled his scent, reminding herself that she was the only one who had the privilege of doing this. “So, what did you have to do this time?”
“Fight in my underwear.” Link was relieved to hear her laugh. “You find your husband’s misery amusing?”
“Not at all,” Ivee smirked, turning around in his embrace and pressing her lips to his. “You in your underwear… That’s amusing.” She returned for a second kiss, with a bit more tongue this time, until she heard her mother pointedly clearing her throat behind them. With a sigh, she watched Amira’s retreating back, carrying a basket of laundry. “So, what did you gain from it?”
“I’ve unlocked the ultimate power of my Master Sword. It’s incredibly powerful now. And shiny!”
“That’s nice. Anyway, how about you finally show me that illustrious wolf of yours.”
“Oh yeah!” With a boyish giddiness, Link took his Sheikah Slate. After some swiping and tapping, a wolf almost literally fell out of the sky. Ivee gasped. It was quite an impressive animal, that carried itself with a certain pride. Happy to be released, he barked excitedly, running around to stretch his legs.
“Come here, boy!” Link called out, and in the blink of an eye, the wolf was at his side. “I’d like you to meet Ivee. She’s my wife. Be nice to her.”
The wolf warily sniffed at her, and let himself be patted by Ivee’s careful hand. Then he grunted and pushed his snout against Link, circling around him in an almost possessive way.
“Don’t worry, boy. I still love you too.”
Ivee laughed. “What should we call him?”
“I’ll leave that up to you.”
“Just… Boy sounds good, doesn’t it?”
“What you say to that?”
The wolf – Boy – barked, looking quite happy about finally having a name.
“Goodness me, it’s true!” they suddenly heard from over at the house. It was Amira, with Azu hiding behind her skirt. “Azu told me that there was a wolf!”
“It’s mine,” Link said. “Ivee wanted to see him.”
“Oh… Well, of course...” Amira stammered. “Figures. Why wouldn’t you have a wolf as your pet.” She held out her arm to stop Pruce, who had come out with a pitch fork. “It’s all good, dear. He belongs to Link.”
“Is he nice? Can I play with him?” Azu said, starting to venture out from behind his mother’s skirt.
“Sure,” Link smiled. “But be gentle though. If you pull his tail, he won’t be happy about it.”
“Cool!” He sprang from behind Amira and spurted towards the wolf, but soon slowed down, getting overwhelmed by the formidability of the beast. Azu wasn’t much taller than Boy, so when they looked at each other, they were face to face. “Hey sis, look at his eyes.”
Ivee kneeled down next to Azu. Even though he looked like a wolf, his eyes had something very human about them. In fact, they almost looked exactly like Link’s eyes. “You’re no ordinary wolf, are you?” she said.
Boy made a soft noise, gently nodding. Ivee reached out both her hands to stroke his cheeks, and then she hugged him around his neck. He didn’t even smell like a wolf. And he had his ears pierced, just like Link. Somehow, it felt like he was Link’s counterpart trapped inside an animal’s body. A wolf… It suited Link. “Thank you for protecting him.” That soft noise again, as if he wanted to say ‘no biggie’. When she stood back up, he gently rubbed his head against her belly, signalling that he would give his life for the little one that was sleeping there. “Boy...” Ivee whispered, swallowing through the lump in her throat. “Welcome to the family.”
“You’re gonna have to inform the villagers though,” Amira said. “Let them know that he’s not a threat.”
“I’ll do it!” Azu shouted. “You coming with me, Boy?”
Boy barked.
“Can I sit on your back?”
Boy barked again, and Link lifted him up on his back. Strangely enough, he seemed quite used to carrying someone. “Off you go! Hold on tight!”
“Yaaay!”
