Anyway, this is my first Zelda fiction and it's about a game I haven't played yet. Wow. You must be shaking head and ready to click the back button. BUT DON'T. D: If you like anything poetic or just plain angst/fluff. Read it. Yeah. A friend of mind requested it so here it is for him. Enjoy.

Bitter

"Link, I….,"

I stopped. Was it the anticipation, the intoxication of the moment or merely a use for dramatics? I ate my words dedicatedly when my eyes landed on her once more. This sensation which burnt my eyes and sliced the words from my throat was quite foreign….

Rigid.

Congested.

Ailing.

Was I, indeed, bitter? For the moments of light and parting I had thought death or a long quest would silence these feelings. Now it was over and I knew my place. My twilight and my dark…. Indeed. I felt this bitter taste invade my sanity which, in turn, involuntarily smiled towards the pair.

"See you later…."

A light appeared from my body; I thought it impossible. As gorgeous as the form I possessed was; I felt the burning and suffocating once more. I had to be poise. I had to finally disjoin my heart from the world I had come to adore. Much like this light, this sphere of alien emotions, I must push it all away… yet my hand was sluggish and my actions uncertain.

The light and the mirror entwined and joined. They became each other and they formed a bond much like, I mutter it at the tip of my tongue, friendship. Her face once more, hauntingly strange and welcoming, filled with an apathetic interest at my movements an all knowing posture and her gaze glassy with what she knew was to come.

I say it once more to you, Princess Zelda, if only all of Hyrule were like you…. If only.

Though... it seems you cannot hear me this time? Are you stunned now?

The crack drove away Link and Zelda's attention. Enough to shut my eyes in a reflection I had long wished to keep to myself; the mirror fractured once more. It was almost finished and I had yet explained everything I wished…. Maybe... I wasn't meant to.

I darted my head backwards and the portal anticipated me. Without the mirror, which was cracking at an astoundingly sudden rate, we shan't cross paths again; Hero and Princess of the Light. Hate me if you must, miss me only when you need and remember my name as long as you wish; Dark and Light, after all, Should never…. Could never… Would never… unite.

I say this, for before I wished not to say much at all, and I find my time has run out; the mirror on the verge of destruction. Would you say my name? Inquire me why or even curse my likeness, Link?

Silence.

Distress.

Astonished.

I smile as I turn away. Of course not…. You were never that type. Finally, the mirror shatters and I disappear; still smiling and you do nothing but stare… I wince. I detect, in my own rambling, a large trace of sorrow within your own eyes; I, in pain enough by knowing our fate now, have been landed with this subliminal slap in the face. Ironic… wouldn't you say?

Nothing but color. Color turns to nothing and I ever so gently lift my hand to my face. Shocking myself at this sudden realization; tracing the line of wetness upon my visage with more to follow rolling over and down my hand….

I was indeed bitter at the fact that I was…. Crying.

Yeah. Just Remember. Never played the game. Don't hurt me if I bastardized any characters D:

...Review if you care about my sanity D: Wow... if I say that then I'll get none. XD
