Haven't posted anything here in a while I know so I've decided to have a fresh start by writing Savior. This is currently just a one shot but reviewers get to choose if they want more chapters so please I'm begging you review!


The inevitable rise of the moon shone over the small sleepy hamlet of Ordon in the Ordonia province; nestle in a quiet and uneventful corner of the vast and mighty kingdom of Hyrule, however tonight Ordon was as quiet as its proclaiming.

The village was celebrating and celebrating harder than ever with numerous arrangements of glorious food and beverages as well as a magnificent hog roasting ceremoniously on a spit, the centre piece of the party.

The village was decorated with garlands and vases of sweet honeysuckle, an Ordonian specialty, with some of the honeysuckle weaved into a few of the female members of the village. Streamers and hand crafted decorations made by the village children hung proudly amongst the foliage and house, those same children were now dancing joyously and eccentrically to some upbeat customary music. They were laughing and giggling they were so carefree and quickly forgot the memories of the terrible ordeal they were thrown into.

The very same ordeal Link had saved them from.

They were very reason the Townsfolk was celebrating...the return of the children and a beloved hero. Link being the shy man he was had crept into the corner of the celebrations observing the others, after for most of the evening, much to his disliking, had been the centre of attention. From the constant praise of the adults to the nagging of the children for him recite some of his many adventures from saving Hyrule including those of a small imp girl...

Midna

Link sighed sadly. Oh how he missed that cheeky, persistent and loyal shadow girl. It had been nearly a year since she shattered the mirror of twilight, disappearing to the shadow realm where she would forever stay and they would be forever be kept apart.

He missed her companionship since he started on his quest. He longed for her everlasting help and random appearance from the shadows whenever she knew he needed assistance or just some comforting from his looming and near impossible task.

They saved Hyrule together and now she was gone. Gone from this world. Gone from him. When she had left, why didn't the world leave with her? This destroyed Link as he had dearly loved the impish girl, the Twilight Princess. It had taken nearly a year for him to be able to stand on his own again, for both his heart and his body to fully recover from the toll of his mission.

To finally accept she was never going to return.

And he had help from the least likely person he knew...The Princess of Hyrule, Zelda.
When he first laid his cerulean wolf eyes upon her he was taken aback by her firm regal nature. Even when she was imprisoned she was still rigid and emotionless. The proper expectations of a royal set out to rule Hyrule. At first he took a disliking to the young monarch and throughout his quest she occupied little or no part of his mind.

This soon changed after the destructive events that claimed Hyrule, after Midna had vanished. Zelda, like Link had become attached to the girl, as she was the only one who would visit the princess creating a strong bond between the two sovereigns though he would never call it friendship. Zelda was too cold and Midna to cocky for them ever to really share proper feelings. It was more of an alliance. Nevertheless it was Zelda who nursed both Link's injuries and his broken heart back to health.

She soothed him when he was angry or upset, sympathized with him when he missed Midna and encouraged him to stand upon his own two feet again. She stayed up with him in the night when he awoke suddenly from a frightening nightmare. She cradled him in a tight embrace, rocking back and forth; stroking his untameable golden bangs like a mother would a child as she whispered words of reassurance in his pointed ears.

And for this he pitied her, the girl who was once a great and regal leader was reduced to this: having to look after a befallen heartbroken sorry excuse for man let alone a hero, in an abandoned hut in the middle of the woods. Link had refused to return to Ordon and Zelda would not let him go anywhere in fear of him never returning.
This was the first time he had ever heard such caring and personal though from the princess. She had lost her family and her home and yet she could say things like that. Maybe the loss of everything made her lose her sense of no emotion and open up a little. It didn't take long for her to loosen up and forget her formality.

Although during Link's recovery she never spoke of her own troubles, concentrating only on his needs. She did everything for him and never asked for anything in return.

At first he thought of it as her repaying him for saving her kingdom but she soon after he was healthy again and they had returned to Ordon. She confessed tearfully over dinner (she was staying with Link in Ordon as she had nowhere else to reside) that she had never had any friends and did not know how to make them.

To others this breakdown would have seemed insignificant and meaningless. But not to Link. No, not to him for as he watched the crystal like tears stream down her milky white cheeks, as he watched her whole body heave with every heart wrenching sob of self realisation; as he watched her cover head in her hands he saw nothing more than a girl. A girl who grew up getting every materialistic thing she wanted. A girl who grew up knowing she would rule a kingdom. She would be admired and loved by everyone worshipping her like a goddess.

She was such a lonely girl.

This pulled the strings in Link's heart and he finally saw the princess as human.
For this was the point where his thoughts where no longer consumed by Midna but for the crying girl opposite.

For she was his saviour and for this he loved the Princess Zelda.
