HALT! This is a sequel! Have you already read the prequel "The silver dagger and its sheath?" If not, do better do so. Not only will this sequel include characters from the prequel; it will also make references to events that have taken place in the prior story.

Hi guys I'm back, and so is the wise, fair Zelda,

Actually, I had planned to post only after I got myself a job again, but, although it's not final, it seems I'm gonna get one.

So, as a way of celebrating, here's the first chapter of "The Queen's Most Precious Treasure"

Two long busy years had passed since the war against the war against the evil warlord, the vile Ganondorf, has been won, and finally the people of Hyrule could celebrate the event.

Throughout the land the people of Hyrule praised their young but dedicated King, who had led their armies to victory and saved them from slavery.

But they blessed their young king tenscore times more for all the help he had given them throughout that long, hard time of rebuilding.

They blessed him for all the safe homes to where he had sent and brought those who had lost their own, and for all the homes he had later ordered to be rebuilt.

They blessed him for all the food he had given them to save them from hunger, and all the firewood, coal, and warm clothes he had given them to save them from the cold of winter.

And they blessed him, and all the soldiers and healers he had ordered to protect them from robbery and plague.

One among these many thankful was an old weary but content farmer who was known for never telling lies. This old farmer, who was known as the old Daphnes, lived and worked on the great farm of the landlord Talon. The old Daphnes did not have to work much anymore; instead he oversaw the young farmworkers and saw to it that they did their work and that they did it right and well. It was to no small degree thanks to the old one's many years of experience that the farmlands of the burly Talon flourished as much as they did.

Every harvest season, the fields would bring in many, many sacks of grainy gold.

Every harvest season, the tress would be laden with heavy, plump fruit.

And every now and then, the gardens would seemingly overgrow with lush, healthy vegetables.

The animals too thrived under the old one's care. The cows and the goats would always come home plump and sated and their udders full of rich, fat milk.

The cucco hens would eat a rich meal of grains everyday and then lay a half dozen of eggs each. And the swine would eat and eat and eat and grow big and fat and stout.

To be fair though, praise must also be given to the beautiful young maiden with chestnut brown hair, who was always at the old one's side. This pretty maiden was his daughter, the wise, fair Zelda who was known throughout the land for her beauty, but many times more so for her good judgment and wisdom, which often surpassed that of one twice her age.

She too, oversaw the farmworkers. She would watch them closely with much attention, always wondering what could be done to make their work easier, quicker and yet better. There was not one place on the farmlands of the burly landlord Talon which had not flourished more thanks to the clever maiden.

One time, when the wise, fair Zelda had sampled from the jugs of milk, she had noticed that not all of the milk had tasted the same. Some of it had tasted noticeably better. It had taken the clever maiden a bit of time and investigation, but eventually she discovered that the cows and goats, whose milk had tasted so delicious, had fed on some herbs while all the others had fed on nothing but grass.

Now the feeding plains of the burly Talon held a wide variety of herbs, grasses and even some vegetables that the cows and goats could feed on.

Another time, during harvest season, the wise, fair Zelda had noticed that the landlord Talon's orchards had yielded more fruit than those of most other farmers. Again it took her some time and investigating, but in the end she uncovered that it had been thanks to a beekeeper who had brought his hives to the burly Talon's orchards back when they had bloomed.

Now the landlord Talon had a couple of beekeepers living and working on his farm. And now his orchards and gardens always brought forth plenty of sweet fruit while his beehives always brought him plenty of sweet honey.

Life had become idyllic for the wise, fair Zelda and her father, the old Daphnes. Their work was not too hard and yet very rewarding. Every day they could eat and drink from plenty of good things, and everyday they got to spend in the company of good, dear friends.
The wise, fair Zelda did not wish for more and would have been happily content to live out all her years working on the farmlands of the burly landlord Talon.

But that was not the fate that the golden goddesses had chosen for her.
And the time had come the golden goddesses decided to see the wise, fair Zelda on the path that was destined for her.

Well, what do you think? Since "The Queen's most Precious Treasure" is the sequel to "The silver dagger and its sheath" I wanted the first chapter to be reminiscent to that of its predecessor; so that people would say:

Yep, this is definitely the sequel.

Here we go again:
