Prologue (revised, thanks for the reviews)
Pain, real pain tore through Zelda's body. The Twilight Princess was a friend to her and to Link. But this pain wasn't caused by her departure. It was caused by the reaction Link had showed upon it. She had no idea the young man was so close to her. Part of Zelda grieved with Link, wishing the Twilight and Hyrule could've been friends. The other part felt a sort of satisfying peace. The more she gazed at he hero the more she understood. Link had an animosity in his eyes, the bravery and pride of a wolf. He wasn't tall, he wasn't short either. Link was about the same height as her, he had clear blue eyes and dirty blonde hair. In her eyes he was perfect. "Quit it" she thought to herself. The people loved the hero, he was a beacon of everything the Princess was not. Warm, kind, caring, flawed. Zelda herself was raised to be a statuesque perfection, to be a good monarch. Link didn't know the real her, but she felt she knew him, As Midna knew him. She knelt down beside him and wrapped her arms around him. Though he did not know her well, he hugged her back and cried silently into her shoulder. What surprised her more is the sadness brewing inside herself, stemming from the loss of everything she and Midna could have been, it did not take long before tears ran down her own cheek. She leaned her head down to rest on the heroes shoulder.
Zelda woke in the cool night air, she was immediately aware of the heroes arms encircling her. Her gaze instantly locked onto his face, he was so vulnerable. Honestly Zelda was loving it, if only he actually felt something for her and not just the need for someone to grasp onto. Being the statuesque princess she was she blushed at the idea of putting her own feelings above her subjects, even the hero's who was more than a normal person to her now. If her time merged with Midna taught her anything it was that she shouldn't wait too long. Zelda groans, she carefully extracts herself from the hero's arms and lays down close by. "If he needs someone, I will be there for him." Zelda falls asleep once more.
