Ruto’s Song
A love not meant to be
Ruto stared lazily up at the sky as she sat on the bank of Lake Hylia. Her
eyes locked onto it’s aqua blue tones as she watched distant clouds roll
by, causing shapes of creatures to form in them. She had been there all day,
she had gone there to think about her feelings, the feelings she still had
for Link.
Now she had done it, she was still in love with him, but it was impossible
now. He had already married another and had four children with her. “But
why do I still feel this way?” Ruto questioned herself. She felt her body
swarm with uneasy feelings, her mind clogged with thoughts of “him”. Had
she been living in denial all this time? She convinced herself after he married
Jenna that she was over him. But she still felt strong feelings for him.
She rose and walked gloomily around the lake. Her thoughts of “him” racing
threw her mind. “Am I really living in denial?” “Did I only convince myself
that I was over him when I really wasn’t?” “But it’s impossible now, he has
already married another.” Ruto shook her head, the feelings still strong
inside her. “OH GODDESSESS WHY DO I STILL FEEL THIS WAY?!” Ruto cried sorrowfully
into the air……..
“Break, break down, steady breakin' me on down
Break, break down, steady breakin' me on down
Break, break down, steady breakin' me on down
Break, break down, steady breakin' me on down
You called yesterday to basically say
That you care for me but that you're just not in love
Immediately I pretended to be feeling similarly
And led you to believe I was O.K.
To just walk away from the one thing
That's unyielding and sacred to me….”
Tears streamed down her face. She felt her body race with uneasy feelings
as she wandered restlessly around the area surrounding Lake Hylia. Her blue
sapphire eyes glistened as the tears fell form them. “Perhaps I'm just fantasizing,
perhaps I’m just wishing for something that isn’t going to happen.” “How
I miss looking into those blue eyes, blue like the
water in which my people live, shimmering like the sapphire that brought
us together, and sparkling like the tears now falling freely from my
eyes.” “NO!!!” Ruto cried, burying her face in her hands. “Why can’t I get
over him?” “WHY!?” “Its so over I know, but I cannot help the way I feel!”
Ruto screamed. She felt as if she was dying inside, her heart wrenching with
confused feelings, feelings full of a useless hope.
”Well I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it
And I'm going to extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights and then break down and cry”
Images of the first day they met filled into her mind. From the time when
he saved her from the bows of Jabau Jabau’s belly, to the vows she thought
they made when she handed him the Zora’s Sapphire. Then she remembered when
he disappeared for seven long years, trapped inside the Sacred Realm. She
felt abandoned, felt like he left her behind. Then one day he showed up inside
the Water Temple, wearing the Zora Tunic, and at first I thought I was hallucinating,
I thought it was all a dream, then I saw those blue eyes, twinkling against
the clear water that filled the Temple, and it was then I knew I was no longer
alone. I had finally thought he had returned to me, thought he was ready
to take his place at my side as King, but I was wrong.
“Now this new feeling has washed over me, the feeling is more then just one
of fear: it's one of loneliness, abandonment, horror, and trepidation.” “Where
do I go from here?” Without...Link.
“So what do you do when somebody you're devoted to
Suddenly just stops loving you and it seems they haven't got a clue
Of the pain that rejection is putting you through
Do you cling to your pride and sing “I will survive”
Do you lash out and say “How dare you leave this way”
Do you hold on in vain as they just slip away”
“Well I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it
And I'm going to extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights and then break down and cry”
She descended into the lake to wet her dried skin, then she walked back out
and onto the bank, her body shimmering as little droplets of water ran down
her body like small diamonds as the sun reflected off of them. She walked
slowly towards the fences that led to the lake, then stopped. Her aqua blue
eyes closed as she stood and thought for a moment. She pondered if she should
sneak over to the Lost Woods and spy on Link. She felt something inside her
say that she wanted to see him that she needed to see those “eyes” again.
How she longed for him. A yearning to feel him longed inside her. She had
always wanted to feel him naked against her, the thought of his lean infatuated
body made her groan inside. She had always loved the shape of his body, the
hard muscles that rippled threw his tunic always made her swoon.
But there was not hope of that now. She had always wanted to share herself
with him, she even saved that “special part of her” just for him. But now
that was all just a lingering fantasy. She felt all the pain slowly return.
She felt as if she was suffering. Again the feeling of being abandoned slowly
welled up inside her again as her thoughts of anger towards him returned.
“How could he do this to...us!?” Ruto yelled to herself. “What the hell happened
to us?” “Gone, that's what!” “In a breaths time, I have lost everything and
anything Link and I ever shared after he married that….that brown haired
women, Jenna!” “He was supposed to my husband--no matter what relationship
he'd had with Jenna, he was supposed to be mine.” “We made those vows to
each other ten years ago.” “And because of that I thought of him to be the
prime choice for someone as beautiful as I.” Ruto wiped the stinging tears
away with the back of her hand as she raised her head skyward. “Had he really
forgotten about those “special” vows we made?” “Did his love for me really
just simply slip….away?” “Where do I go from here?”
Yeah, c'mon Yeah, c'mon, c'mon Break break down
Gotta get control Roll roll roll along Steady breakin' me on down
Roll roll roll along Break break down Gotta get control
Roll roll roll along Steady breakin' me on down
Roll roll along It'll break you down
Only if you let it Everyday crucial situation wrackin' my mind
Tryin' to break me down But I won't let it Forget it
Forget it I've been feelin' like you're breakin' me down
Kickin' me around Stressin' me out I think I better go and get
out and let me Release some stress (stress) Don't ever wanna
feel no pain (pain) Hoping for the sun But it looks like rain
(rain, rain, rain) Oh, I just wanna maintain Yeah, when you feel the pressure's
on But nevertheless Krayzie won't fall It's over
It's endin' here, here
“I never really considered it was over, never had I imagined that our love
would slowly just fade away.” Ruto hung her head low as she decided to cross
the fences that bordered Hyrule Field. She just wandered aimlessly around
it for what seemed like an eternity, before slowly slipping into the secret
entrance to the Lost Woods she had built so she could secretly watch Link
without him or Jenna knowing. She made her way around the winding tunnel
until a bright light came into view. Slowly she emerged into the sanctuary
of the Lost Woods, then proceeded to slip over to Link’s home. When she got
close enough, she heard voices. Slinking behind a nearby bush, she slowly
raised her head over it and saw three figures standing in front of the beautiful
house Link had built before he married.…Jenna.
Her blue-jeweled eyes lit up when she caught a glimpse of Link playing with
his young son, Roan. She just sat there and reveled in his gorgeousness as
he played catch with his small son. Oh how his muscles made her body quake
when they bulged underneath his green tunic after he threw the ball back
each time. She felt her body swarm with the feelings of a lustful yearning
and longing all over again. Her hands gripped tightly down onto the bush
she was hiding behind, it was all she could do to keep herself from wanting
to go running over to him. As always every time she went there that way,
she had to always fight to keep her emotions from overtaking her and blowing
her cover. But each and every time she did come, it was getting harder to
control “those feelings”.
Then another figure emerged from the house. The figure was a women and she
soon realized that the women was his wife Jenna. She was carrying a tray
with what looked to be drinks on it and handed Link and their two sons each
a goblet. The next thing that happened sent Ruto over the edge. She watched
as Jenna went into Link’s arms, then they kissed passionately. She felt tears
well up in her eyes as she lost control over it. The tears streamed like
small rivers down her face as she watched Link hold Jenna lovingly in his
arms.
That was her undoing, she completely lost control of her emotions. She slowly
slipped back threw the tunnel and emerged back under the hazy sky of Hyrule
Field. She just had her heart broken again, broken for about the hundredth
time. “What is wrong with me, why is it so hard for me to just “forget him?”
“Why must my heart continue to break, why must I suffer this way?” “WHY?!”
“Oh goddesses I just want to be over him!” “Is that just too much to ask!”
Ruto cried out towards the sky, her eyes stinging from the gushing tears.
“But I still love him.” “And I know just how hard it is to just ignore those
“feelings”. “Its not something that you can just simply throw aside.”
“Link…how could you have just left me so...so stricken and confused?” Ruto
whispered to herself. “Whatever the cause of this is, it can't be my fault.
No, never will be!” Ruto scorned as she fell to the ground in a crying heap.
“What am I to do when I become queen?” “I will have no partner to bear the
next heir to the throne, nor be there by my side during the hard times.”
“Dammit; how dare he, leaving me so blustered like this!” She felt as if
Link had ripped her heart out of her chest and threw it at her. She felt
as if her whole being was being torn apart. “For once, I don't know the answer
to my broken heart, but...but I'm sure the answer will make itself known
to me soon, for a wise sage never goes long without the answers...”
“...Or do they?”
“Well I guess I'm trying to be nonchalant about it
And I'm going to extremes to prove I'm fine without you
But in reality I'm slowly losing my mind
Underneath the guise of a smile gradually I'm dying inside
Friends ask me how I feel and I lie convincingly
'Cause I don't want to reveal the fact that I'm suffering
So I wear my disguise 'til I go home at night
And turn down all the lights and then break down and cry”
“No, I cry mentally, wringing my mind of all the doubts and fears that
have been threatening to crash down one me.” “But again the one question
I still ask myself still goes unanswered, “Was Link really in love with another
from the beginning?” “Was the flame between us really nonexistent from the
start?” “I guess I will never know the answer that still evades me to this
day.” “But wither or not he ever shared the same feelings for me that I do
for him, I will always love him….until the end of time.”
“Sigh” “I guess he will never know my true feelings for him, but maybe just
maybe I have come to the realization that Link indeed became a butterfly
and needed to know what it felt like to fly.” Ruto dried her tear-stained
face and looked into the lavender pinkish rays of the setting sun once more.
“Perhaps, I have to come to terms with myself. Perhaps...I am the one who
is wrong……Maybe it really is time to let go.”
“Breakdown”
