Prologue
In Link's Eyes
The beautiful princess Zelda teleported me to the continent that met ours through the Gerudo Desert after helping defeat Ganon; she only did so because I told her that's what I wanted when she insisted that she had to repay me somehow. I didn't know what I was going there for but I knew I'd find it sooner or later.
Unfortunately it took months before finding that slightest hint of what I was looking for but once I saw her, my meaning here was clear.
I had been traveling by when I heard that clashing of metal and the battle cries just beyond the trees in the large forest.
"Soren, look out!" a husky voice cried out to a young woman as she took a deadly swing from an axe to the side, "Soren!"
A large man with deep blue hair ran over to the wounded girl after slicing off the head of the attacker.
"Ike, I'm fine." she said weakly as she limped over to a tree and slid down it, "Rhys will be able to heal me up as soon as we get back to the camp."
"Well at least let me help stop the bleeding," the blue haired man commanded.
"Yes sir," the raven haired girl groaned as she bowed her head in defeat. He unclasped her top to get to the wound and removed the many layers the girl had on.
"Ike, look out!" she screamed as he began to wrap the bleeding wound.
I raised my eyes from the girl to a man rushing at them with a sword held over his head.
"Today will be your last day Lord Ike!" the man bellowed.
I leapt out from the trees and brought out my sacred master sword swiftly as I plunged my blade into the man.
His eyes widened as his thin sword fell from his dying hands. He gasped for air as I pulled out my sword from his collapsing body.
As I turned to face the pair the dead man's body thudded to the ground.
The two of them looked up at me with wide eyes as the girl sat there practically half naked while the man's hands were covered in crimson blood. She blushed deeply as she snatched her cloths together to hide herself. Her red eyes looked up at me with fear, shame, humiliation and anger.
"Thank you for that," the blue haired man said as he stood up and held out his blood-covered hand for me to shake. When I didn't take the offer he brought his hand back to himself and introduced himself and the wounded girl, "My name is Ike and this is my friend Soren. What is your name stranger?"
"My name is Link." I told him as I glanced over to the embarrassed girl, "I'm sorry that I've laid eyes on you ma'am but in my defense, how could any man keep his eyes off your incredible beauty?"
She blushed more at my question and the man sighed as he glanced down at her and then back to me.
"Well thank you for your help but we must be going now," the man told me as he picked up the girl bridal-style and started walking away.
My heart had focused on the girl ever since that day and my mind drew the same picture of her hair flowing around her as she covered herself defensively with that deep blush while she sat in front of that tree.
I traveled for a year or so in search for the girl but nobody knew of her but almost every person I spoke to knew, what seemed to be, everything there was to know about 'Lord Ike'.
"Oh Soren," I sighed as I lay under the stars in the same forest, thinking of the girl, "Will I ever see you again?"
In Soren's Eyes
"Did that man show up in your dreams again?" Ike asked as he noticed me covering myself more than usual.
"Yes, he just seemed so honest when he asked that question a year ago but I know that's impossible. How could anybody think a creature like myself is beautiful?" I asked him as he brought his velvet lips to mine.
I gasped at the sudden touch that he had never given me before.
"What's so bad about somebody thinking you're beautiful?" he asked as he wrapped his muscular arms around my thin figure.
"What about the princess?" I asked as I shook from the touch, "And what happened to you thinking of me as a sister?"
"Maybe I've changed my mind Soren, maybe I love you as more than just a sister," he breathed into my ear, "Soren, you need to wake up. Soren. Soren!"
My eyes flashed from the warm scene of Ike holding me to the awkward scene of him towering over my bed and myself.
"It's way too late to still be sleeping Soren; we need to get the meeting started." He informed me as I stretched and sat up on my bed.
"Sorry commander, I was up very late last night trying to get through the tactics for this job." I yawned as I stood and grabbed a few scrolls and put them into a bag and then walked over to my clothing chest.
"Well please hurry and meet us in the meeting hall when you're dressed," he sighed as he left.
"Yes sir," I mumbled as I grabbed my robes and threw them on.
I ran to the meeting as I tried to keep hold of all the scrolls and papers and tried to keep out of the reach of the ignorance that fogs this camp, like Shinon.
"Sorry I'm so late everybody, please forgive my late arrival." I apologized as I burst into the room.
"Forgiven," Ike stated flatly, "Now I'd like to introduce our new member, Link. He comes from a land far from here and wishes to aid us in our business."
I looked up to see the same blonde man from a year ago, looking around with those icy blue orbs that sparkled.
"Well hello again ma'am." He smiled towards me as I instinctively put my arms around myself.
"It's ok Soren," Mist whispered in my ear sweetly, "I talked to him earlier; he's been searching for you in hopes of becoming close friends with you. He's quiet the romantic if you ask me."
I could feel my cheeks heat up as I looked into his features and tried to figure out if he was trying to deceive me or if he was just naïve.
As the days past, they turned to weeks which in turn went to months, then years. I found myself falling deeply in love with our left handed friend with the mesmerizing blue eyes and messy blonde hair. On late summer nights, the two of us would sneak out of the camp and take a late-night swim, kissing under the glow of the silver moon.
One of those many summer nights became more than just a swim and a kiss; once we went back to our shared tent, that I had begged Ike for, Link had gently pushed me onto the bed and moved himself over me before I was able to finish getting dressed. (1)
"What are you doing?" I asked him as he ran his hands up my unclothed thighs.
"Soren," he hummed as he looked into my eyes deeply, "I love you so much."
"I love you two," I responded as I wrapped my arms around his shoulders.
He brought his face to the side of my head and gently kissed up and down my neck and moved toward my ear and nibbled on my earlobe for a second or two and then moved to my chin and made his way to my lips. As we pressed our lips together his hips came into contact with mine as his hardened-self pressed against my warmth.
"Link," I breathed into his ear as he resumed kissing my neck and ear, "we really shouldn't. Not yet at least, we still have to work. We don't really have the time to please ourselves like this."
"Just once my love," he whispered into my ear as he pressed his body against mine, "I promise."
I thought over the possible consequences as he resumed kissing me.
If I said no, he'd stop doing this; we'd get dressed and then go to bed. If I said yes, we would make love for the first time, but what if somebody heard or worse, what if we got caught?
The bad seemed to logically over-rule the good but my body screamed at me to go too far.
"Just this once?" I meekly asked as he began to nibble on a spot on my neck, most likely trying to leave a mark.
"Just this once," he answered slowly as he ran his hand up and down my stomach to my knee.
"Ok…" I sighed as my heart raced, "But we can't be too loud and make sure the door is locked."
In Link's Eyes
Only a month past after that magical night but I knew that the love I felt that night wasn't just a passing phase. During that month, I went into town and searched every store for the perfect ring so that I could ask Soren for her hand. Unfortunately when I got back to camp, everything had been burned down and everybody was huddled up in the forest.
"What happened?" I asked franticly as I looked around for Soren but didn't see her, "Where's Soren?"
"Bandits came in and burned everything," Mist began to explain as she held a wet rag to Ike's arm; "Soren got caught in one of the buildings."
I felt my heart stop and sink into my stomach as I looked at the little girl in shock.
"She's with Rhys right now," Ike told me, noticing my widened eyes, "She was tremendously burned on one side of her arm and face. I think it'd be best if you stayed here for now and waited for Rhys to bring her back here."
"How could I wait here while she's hurt?" I lashed out in fear of possibly losing her.
"Link, it's an order that you stay here and let Rhys work in peace." Ike commanded in a deep controlling voice, making Mist and I flinch slightly.
"Yes sir," I mumbled as I held my head down and went over to a tree and sat down.
It wasn't until two days past that Soren and Rhys came back to join us.
Her head and arm were wrapped and she looked so terrified when I approached her.
"Are you ok my love?" I asked her gently as I gently brought my hand to her arm but didn't touch in fear of hurting her wounds.
She nodded slightly and then tugged on Rhys' long white sleeve.
"Oh!" Rhys gasped as he seemed to remember something, "Commander Ike, Soren and I need to have a talk with you in private."
"What is it about?" he asked as he held the same wet rag to his arm and walked away from the circle of mercenaries.
"It's about her condition sir," Rhys informed him.
"May I join the discussion?" I asked as I felt myself detaching from the conversation.
"My apologizes Link," Rhys began, "but it's for the best as of the moment that you stay out of it for now. Soren will explain everything she wishes to inform you of after the meeting."
"Are you going to be ok?" I asked Soren as she looked as if she were about to cry.
She nodded slowly as she fiddled with her thumbs as her stomach.
"Ok," I sighed, "then I'll just wait here until you all return."
"That's fine," Ike told me as he walked away with Rhys and Soren.
When Soren came back, she only told me that the burns were pretty bad, she'd be in bandages for a month or so and that Ike wanted to speak with me for a little bit about something very urgent.
"You wished to talk with me?" I asked as I came over to the commander that sat under a tree in a small clearing away from the others.
"Yes," he sighed, "I want you to go back to Hyrule with Soren."
My heart raced at the idea of going back to my old home but then sank as I thought about making Soren leave behind hers.
"Why?" I asked dumbly as I sat in front of the blue haired man.
"I worry about her health and if Hyrule is in such a peaceful time as you say, I believe the best thing for her is to go back there with you."
"Have you asked her if that's what she wanted yet?" I asked as I worried about her reaction.
"Yes, in fact she's the one that mentioned Hyrule. She told me that you tell her about its peaceful beauty a lot and that you tell her about your people a lot." He informed me.
"Well then I guess I'll contact my princess and tell her that I'm coming back."
"Ok then, good luck Link." He flatly stated as he stood up and left.
It had been brought to my attention by my mini-editor that "Ike is stupid for letting them share a tent" (so says my mini-editor [who is taller than I]). So now I explain the stupidity of Ike: Ike knows that Soren wouldn't let her guard down too quickly or easily so he trust that Soren will think things through logically before doing anything too…sexual. Plus, Soren and Link had shared a tent for a long time (like a year) before this night. So truly Ike isn't all that dumb; now I won't say that he's not stupid for falling for the line "I'll bring you meat on a stick if you let Link and I share a tent."
