Hello people, I am currently redoing/ adding to the older chapters and cleaning up improving the writing.
I have also been checking out the stories of people who posted reviews in order to thank them for continued support.
The moon shone high in the sky as Princess Zelda slipped into the boys room. Taking care not to wake him, she opened up a small bottle and poured the golden liquid down the boys throat. Any other concoction or drink would make someone wake up imeadietly, but a love potion was meant to be used on sleepers. The Princess of Hyrule then knelt by the boys side, and planted a kiss on his cheek. She could just as easily have her way with him now, but that might wake him up. Zelda smiled, and went out of the room crossing her fingers to hope that she had gotten the brew right. Before she left, she took one final look at the teenager.
Link woke up feeling all tingly. His throat had an oddly sweet taste, and he felt he could sing for an hour straight. Today he was going to visit Zelda... Wait, why would that be a priority? He saw Zelda everyday. No, more importantly, he had to go to Death mountain to get a sword from bigoron. Ever since he had returned the master sword to the temple of time, and the kokiri sword to the kokiri village, the megaton hammer to the gorons, and so on, he had no basic melee weapons, Though Zelda had helped him learn Din's fire.
He slipped on a red tunic today. He at least wanted to see Zelda before he went. It took a while to find her, the sun was out, and when he checked the outside grounds he found her in the garden, painting a picture.
"Hello Zelda." Shoot, he must have sounded like an idiot. "Er, might I add what a lovely painting." Why was he suddenly so self concious? Zelda turned around and smiled. "Hello Link." She breathed, and the light seemed to bend around her. "By the way," She began, bringing him back to the present. "My cousin Lolda is coming from the kingdom of Eirswan to stay for a while. Would you mind showing her around when she gets back tomorow?"
"Sure", said Link. "I never knew you had a cousin."
"Oh yes, I've been talking to her and she is coming to conduct a bit of research. She's heard about you too- well I guess everyone has but she seemed particularly intrested in you."
Link had never attracted much attention, much less that of a princess. Inside, he felt a little uncomfortable. What if Zelda stopped spending time with him and instead with this new Lolda? What if The new princess decided Link wasn't fit for being with Zelda?
No, that was irrational. Whatever he and the maiden that stood before him had, well, it was special. He considered that as he told Zelda his plans.
Link said his goodbyes, and his promise to come back tommorow. He left, his mind abuzz with thoughts about both princesses. Zelda set down her brush and watched him ride into the distance. Had the potion worked? Partially she guessed. Link had turned slightly red when she looked in his eyes, and had stood visibly closer to her, and even looked like he wanted to touch her. But she couldn't be sure, and love potions fail if the person knows you will try them. She set off to the castle storage to find more materials to make another batch. Meanwhile out at sea...
Lolda looked out to the sea as her ship swayed in the gentle waves. Tomorow she would arrive at Hyrule castle and begin her research on native eyeball frogs. Or so everyone believed, in reality, she would be studying a young boy, who people claimed was the hero of time. A boy with the strength of the heavens and the courage of the titans. They said that he had the triforce of courage. That very much interested her.
"You know, I've always disliked homeless people." Said Link's friend Link (A goron who was named after Link). "They tell you rupees aren't everything, Right before they ask you for rupees."
Link and Link sat together on a cliff overlooking the spot with woman banging the ground asking for contents of peoples bottles. Below them, the folk of Kakariko town went about their daily business. A long brown package sat between them, with the seal of R. Bigoron on a signed document.
"Hey brother, I'd like to ask you something." Said Goron Link, turning his shoulder and pretending to fiddle with his imaginary hair.
"Anything."
"Well, in a week, on the full moon, it's, well it's my rite of manhood. I want you to be there."
Link knew what that ment. Rolling down a mountain with a bomb flower. It was something every Goron had to do to become an adult and gain respect in their culture. Link turned, smiled, and said "Of course I'll be there. Now I'd better get back, to get there before The new princess arrives." He leapt down to the ledge onto Epona's back, who whinnied and sped off.
While link rode back home on Epona, he tested out his new sword. As he had ordered, a lightweight broadsword exactly the size of the master sword, with a smaller and better protecting guard, and a hilt with a much better grip. But it just didn't feel as powerful as the master sword, although it was a perfectly good one in it's own right. He saw the Hyrule castle town looming in the distance, and sped ahead. Back at the castle...
Lolda and Zelda exchanged greetings and a hug. It was, Lolda decided, good to see her cousin again. And how much she had grown! Then they heard the galloping of a horse, and Lolda watched Zelda turn around a corner to meet whoever was coming.
"Link! Your late, Princess Lolda is alrready here. And you've got dust on your tunic!"
"Sorry Zelda, I got distracted by some Stalfos. Is you-know-who here?"
So this must be the Hero of time, thought Lolda. She stood patiently, waiting for the two to come around the corner.
