So this idea has been stuck in my head for a while and I decided that you know what? I'm going to write another story. This is my first multi chapter story so I'm just seeing how it'll look. Rated T for language and such. Enjoy reading!

Disclaimer: I don't own The Legend of Zelda although I wish I did, but sadly I don't.

Wartime Love

Link and Zelda were standing around the Mirror of Twilight, watching Midna take her leave. So far everything about her departure was normal, until when she climbed the stairs and broke the mirror. Zelda and Link were shocked by her act. No one would be able to come or go through the Mirror of Twilight anymore, which means to communication with Midna. The ride back to the castle was silent. Link then went home to his home in Ordon after overseeing the beginning of the reconstruction of the castle and saying goodbye to Princess Zelda. Days, weeks, and months flew by, and practically everything was back to normal. Link was back to herding goats, there was no contact with Midna or her people, and Zelda was still a princess, as she delayed her coronation until the castle was rebuilt and everything was in order after the events that took place. Everything was going back to normal, everyone thought. Oh but they were so wrong.

~~~~~Zelda POV (5 months later)~~~~~

I awoke on a gloomy, grey skied day. My satin sheets rubbed against my skin as always as I moved around my bed, trying to fall asleep again. After various attempts of trying to sleep, I decided that I was just wasting time and I needed to just start the day. I slowly got out of my bed and slipped on my light blue robe over my white nightgown to keep whatever warmth I had with me. After taking a bath I finally left my only safe haven from the castle into the chaos of everyday.

Surprisingly no councilmen disturbed my breakfast, which is very odd considering that they are like an annoying swarm of flies that can never be rid of. I shrugged it off because they were probably planning something "amazing". Getting up from the elegant wooden table meant for large company, I walked into my study.

I was taking a last look at my papers on my desk. All five stacks of royal ordinances were signed, treaties with the Zoras and such. I sighed as I saw my councilmen come into the study, already debating about what color and type of flowers I was to have for my coronation ball. Such silliness if you asked me. There are still towns that need repairing, such as in Ordon. Or maybe spending time and resources on repairing and improving our road systems. I start thinking about the hero, or Link as he'd remind me, as he's from Ordon, until a councilman, Shad, interrupts my thoughts.

"Um your majesty?"

"Hmm, what?" I clear my throat, "I mean come again?"

"I was just merely asking if you preferred tulips or roses for your coronation ball?"

"Either are fine Shad" I sigh.

"Well I would think that her majesty would want to make the ba-" Shad never got to finish his sentence as a purple and yellow diamond shaped arrow was shot through his heart.

'Holy Goddesses!" a man shouts. Suddenly more arrows make their way through the window, as pieces of sharp glass fly through the air. "We're under attack! Secure her majesty!" the same man shouts.

The guards stationed outside of the study rush in the door, trying to protect me from the flying glass. Unfortunately for them they don't know that my face is already bleeding from 3 shards of glass.

"Go through the secret passage by the bookshelf with her majesty!" the council man yelled. I believe his name was Merlin, he just joined the council this week due to my adding of more people. We go through the passage way through the bookshelf and into a secret hiding place underground.

Soon Merlin rejoins us. "How long do we have to stay under here?" I ask.

His reply? The answer I had expected, "I wish I knew your majesty. We could be stuck here until the morning."

"Well then, we might as well just sleep here until someone comes for us." I say. The council members nod their head in approval. "Well then it's settled, have a nice nap sirs."

Sorry for the shortish chapter, I just kinda wanted to start of with an intro then make the following chapters longer. Also I hope to update this story regulary, I don't know what the exact time will be but I'll try to get the chapters out fast. Now the plot of the story; I tried to be a bit more descriptive in my writing so that included a little foreshadow as to who's the villian in our story. I'm trying to portray Zelda as the type of princess who doesn't sit back and let everyone else do her job for her, but the kind of person that is involved and actually does her job. I made Shad a councilman because he's smart so it kinda makes sense? And I made him die in the beginning just cause I wanted to. Merlin is my own character, who is kinda influenced by the wizard Merlin from King Arthur, except my Merlin is not a wizard. Also, I started off with the Midna leaving/breaking the mirror scene because that is basically how Twilight Princess ends so I want to make this story continue right after that. And in the very last cutscene of the game Link is shown leaving Ordon so I'm going to make that happen in the next chapter. And just in case you might've not known, Twilight Princess is my favorite game of the whole franchise even though I don't own the game. I do own (and am almost done with) Skyward Sword so that counts right? Anyway, I hope you enjoy this story and I'll see ya in the next chapter.
