Seven days.
Seven days has passed since I broke the Mirror of Twilight, the one connection between Hyrule and this world.
As I stand on this balcony and look down at my people, I can not find any words to say to them.
The only thing that fills my thought is what Zelda had said before I left; "Shadow and light are two sides of the same coin, one cannot exist without the other."
With that are we not the same?
When I look down and see my people does she as well?
So why is my throat dry?
Why am I so angry at her words?
The crowd below me begins to murmur at my silence, surely I've worried them.
"My People.." I croak to attract their attention, "Surely these recent events have shaken us. It would be best if we returned to our daily routine since the evil known as "Zant and Ganon" are deceased, and-..." I begin to trail off, my mind probes back to what Zelda had said, had we been two sides of the same coin, we'd be different but identical right?
Ah, but now I see.
As I address a crowd that suffered from Ganon's magic, Zelda looks down at unaware castle folk.
As I look and utter of a divine hero.
She stands next to him.
Next to him.
Next to my Link.
The confused crowd looks up at me worriedly, before they can talk amongst themselves, I slam a fist into the railing, cracking the railing's glass. Before I can rap my head around what I'm doing I laugh begin to laugh hysterically, I had shattered another glass and arose questions because of it again.
I turn and walk into my castle. These people will eventually leave.
But as soon as I am alone tears slide down my face.
One last tear rolls down my cheek and with it everyhing I cherish of Link and my time with him, because as a Princess who cannot be with him, it would utterly destroy me had I to think that in my place the Princess of Light got to cherish him in my stead.
Because, Somewhere along the way I think I finally understood Love.
