"Hime-sama! Please come down from there!"
A giggle came from high up in the cherry blossom tree, legs swung back and forth from the spot they hung down from. "But I wanted to stay up here longer!"
"Your father won't like that though! What if you get hurt?"
"Oh he worries too much!"
"Will you come down for me then?"
Tapping her chin, the Princess thought about the offer as her legs continued to swing. A smile came on her lips while she stood up on the tree branch. "Only if you catch me!"
"Wah!"
She jumped off into the arms of her trusted knight and best friend.
"You're going to give me a heart attack one of these days Hime-sama."
"But I knew you would catch me Link!"
A soft smile graced his lips as he set her down on the ground. "I am too honored that you would call me by my name Hime—"
"Zelda Link! Call me Zelda!"
"But I'm—"
She placed a finger over his lips. "You will call me Zelda and that's final."
Heaving a heavy sigh, the boy nodded. "As you wish Zelda."
"Good, now let's go before my father catches us again!" Zelda grabbed Link's hand and pulled him back into the villa of her estate.
"Slow down! You can trip if you run too fast!"
"You're such a worry wart Link! I'll be fine! Besides I have you here to catch me again if needed!"
'Good grief, she has so much energy for an eleven year old…yet I'm fourteen…well proves to show that I feel like an old man around her.' Link thought shaking his head a bit, his short dirty blond hair moved as he did so.
"Looks like we made it back," Zelda let his hand go as she turned around to face him, her dark brown hair whipping behind her from the fast movement. "so same time tomorrow?"
Ears twitching, the young knight bowed before her. "Remember Hime-sama you have lessons tomorrow in the morning to attend to first."
Couple of the high ranking soldiers passed by, bowing to Zelda as well before walking off.
Link glanced over before standing up. "Sorry about that."
"Sharp as ever Link! I know I can count on you! So tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow Hime…Zelda." He smiled before turning to leave.
"Bye Link!" she waved to him as he closed the door behind him.

"Father be reasonable."
"Zelda you know that unless we start modernizing more like those around us we won't be able to hold up against the villages if they start to rebel."
"But they wouldn't if they knew they could trust their Emperor. Mother wouldn't want us to—"
"You're mother isn't here anymore!"
Zelda slightly flinched from her father's loud tone but kept her ground.
"Stop acting like a child Zelda, who's holding on to childish dreams. This discussion is over."
The brunette had bowed before she left her father's presence. 'He doesn't understand the possible danger he could be putting us all in. Why change something that hasn't fallen yet?'
"It's absurd…" she mumbled to herself as she walked out into the garden.
Eight years had passed, and many things had changed since then. Threats of a rebellion stirred throughout the years, and it has the whole court in a panic. Numerous propositions have been made on what should be done of these threats, but no one could come into an agreement with one.
Sighing, the brunette, dressing in her light pink summer kimono, climbed the cherry blossom tree and sat on the branch she use to sit on all those years ago. "Father will lose his mind if he continues to lose sleep over this matter. Though we wouldn't be in this situation if he hadn't just—"
"Hey! You wouldn't happen to know where I could find the head of the house hold would you?"
'That voice…why does it sound familiar? But it's not—'
A loud snap was heard below her as she felt herself fall through the air. "Ahhh!"
"Whoa!" the mysterious person went forward and caught her before she hit the ground. "You have to be more careful ma'am."
Zelda looked up as her sapphire blue eyes met with ruby red ones. 'That's not Link, his is blue like mine.' Her gaze trailed up to his head. 'And he has dirty blond hair, not pitch black.'
The man set her down waving a hand in front of her face. "Hello? Anyone in there?"
She snapped out of her thoughts. "I-I'm sorry, was lost in thought there."
"That's alright, do you live here?"
"I do, I'm Zelda, thank you for catching me mister…"
"Just call me—"
"Hime-sama!" another voice called out.
Before she could answer that call, she was pressed up against a back while being pushed back behind them.
"Who are you? State your business!"
"Link!" the brunette shouted realizing whom it was. "Lower your sword! This man has saved me!"
The blonde glared at the man, but then turned to confusion as he stared at him more. They were of the same height, build, probably same age also. Only difference was their hair and eye color.
Zelda studied both of them when she came out from behind Link. "I was right, you both do look similar."
"I have no family." Link bluntly stated glaring once more at the man.
"Neither do I, so yet why does another look like me?"
"I look nothing like you; I ask again who are you and what are you doing here?"
The man chuckled as he put his arms into his black kimono. "You can call me Dark, and I'm here to meet with the head of this estate."
Link stared at Dark more, not once lowering the sword he had to his neck. "I do not believe you."
Dark sighed while pulling out a scroll. "Will this satisfy you?" he handed it to the knight.
Eyeing the scroll, the blonde carefully took it from the man's hand before opening it up. He quickly scanned it over before rolling it back up. "It seems what he says is true, this is your father's hand writing."
"Thank you for clearing that up tall bored and gloomy."
His face flushed from embarrassment as he glared harder at him. "Your antics are quite childish."
"Yeah yeah, so can you tell me where he is?"
"What exactly do you need to talk with my father about?"
"Father?" the ravenet gazed at her. "Then that makes you his daughter, the Princess right?"
"I would believe so if I am his daughter…and since I am that would be yes."
Dark laughed hard clutching his sides.
Both Link and Zelda watched him ball out laughing for a good five minutes before he stopped.
"Oh that's rich!" he wiped a tear that slipped down from his eye. "Well seems that I found my new student."
"Student?" They both said.
"Uh-huh, from this day on I'll be your new magic teacher. Nice to be working with you, Princess~"
