The Legend of Zelda

And Peach

(Title Pending)

Prologue

"Still haven't found her." Lakitu sighed, throwing the papers across his desk. He sat in the fourth study hall in the Scholars' University. Three of his agents had sent an update on the search for Princess Daisy. "Not a thing." He kicked the desk in anger.

"Don't blame the desk, dear." Majora said from beside him. He smiled at Lakitu, and Lakitu couldn't help but smile back. It had been two months since Link and 'Maria' had defeated Eo, and Majora had remembered himself. Already, his body was almost its old form. His face was elfish, his ears longer than most, his features hard but eyes gentle. His face very much resembled the Fierce Deity Mask, with the tribal markings and white hair. His face still had a faint trace of a straw-like texture, from when he was Skull Kid. Lakitu sighed again.

"Sorry, love." He said softly. "I just feel like I'm responsible for this."

"You couldn't have known she'd disappear like this." Majora said soothingly, putting an arm over Lakitu's shoulder. "We'll find her, my sweet." He kissed him gently on the cheek. "We'll find her."

"I hope so." Lakitu said quietly. Majora always melted his anger away, be it with a simple touch or kiss. Lakitu could never stay mad when Majora was around. "I wish I could remember what else I'm forgetting, too."

"Well, Maria and Eraf are living together on Earth, Link and Malon are living together in Hyrule, Peach and Bowser are getting along fine in Mushroom Kingdom, Nerra's on Mobius, and Daisy's MIA." Majora listed off. "I don't think you did anything to anyone else."

"No, I'm sure I'm forgetting someone."

"Gaea's doing fine, and so is Pent and Erk, if you're worried about them."

"No, that's not it either." He growled in frustration. "I know it's important."

"Calm down. It won't do any good to get angry."

"Oh, I know, I know." Lakitu moaned.

"Come on, the monthly meeting's about to start. The Head Scholar should be early, not barely on time."

"Yes, yes." Lakitu sighed, calling his cloud to him. "When are they going to get a proper Head? I'm only interim, and I'm sick of it."

"Would you rather be the proper Head?"

"Well, it's better than interim. People don't take me seriously enough. I just hope the next Head doesn't expel me again." He stepped onto his cloud.

"As if I'd let them do that, love." Majora laughed, hugging Lakitu. Lakitu smiled, gathering up the papers on his desk, and the two headed to the Grand Hall.

"The worlds grow restless again." One of the Scholars announced. Lakitu sighed. "Mobius and Elibe especially. Mushroom Kingdom and Hyrule are moving close to each other, too. Mobius and Elibe are getting closer to each other, and they seem to be moving toward Mushroom Kingdom and Hyrule."

"Termina is moving toward those worlds, too." Another added.

"Quite a few worlds seem to be moving toward each other. Gaia, Cerascia and Tohres seem to be bunching together." A third said.

"Mobius, Elibe, Termina, Hyrule and Mushroom Kingdom should be our main concern." Gaea told them. "Gaia has enough people to solve their problems, Cerascia is full of Mystics, and Tohres is a wasteland. Gaia and Cerascia can handle themselves, and Tohres is nothing to worry about."

"True enough." Pent agreed. "I'd focus my attention on Mobius and Elibe. Many strange things are stirring back home."

"Of what nature?" Lakitu asked his friend.

"Our magic is behaving oddly. It varies in casting difficulty and power. Newborn Pegasi are having trouble flying, Wyverns are becoming docile, compared to their proud and violent nature, and monsters that we long thought dead are reviving." Pent said. "Only Erk and Nino seem to be able to control their magics."

"I thought those two would." Lakitu said, smiling. "They've quite a gift. But the creatures worry me. Pent, you can pick a team of Scholars to help you research this if you wish."

"Thank you, Headmaster." Pent said.

"Mobius is still under attack by the Quetzalcoatl." A Scholar spoke up. "We should look into that, too."

"Of course." Lakitu agreed. "I'll arrange a team."

"What about you?"

"Mushroom Kingdom, Hyrule and Termina worry me. They were closely linked during the Eo incident. I fear that their coming together again is a sign of..." He trailed off.

"So... It's happening?" Another Scholar asked.

"I believe so." Lakitu sighed.

"Then, we must prepare."

"Yes, we should."

"How long do we have?" The first Scholar asked.

"We don't." Gaea told him.

"What do mean?"

"We can prepare all we like, but we can only warn and inform. If what Majora told us is true, then we cannot alter a thing."

"Yes, but-"

"But nothing." Pent cut in. "We will do what little we can, but no more."

"We should at least-"

"Inform and warn, like Gaea said." Pent snapped.

"My visions are never wrong." Majora told them all. "I spent the past month trying to interpret this."

"The future is now. What becomes of the worlds is entirely dependant upon these next few actions."

"Yet, we must sit by and watch. We cannot interfere."

"Regretably so. I only hope the decisions made are the best ones."

"All we can do is hope."

"Then, let us pray." Lakitu intoned.

It may take a while between updates now, as I'm also planning work on a Fire Emblem fanfiction. Also, I've recently moved house, so I'm still trying to get everything sorted and stuff. To top it all off, I'm going to Canada on Wednesday, potentially making it more difficult to write more stuff. I will post stuff as soon as I have it, though. I promise.

For those of you worried about Maria, don't fret. I'll change her back soon, I promise. She just didn't have time to drink the spring water before she had to go back to her world.

Also, the two worlds. I'm not entirely familiar with the two worlds I'm writing in. Thus it may take EVEN longer, as I may have to research things regarding these worlds. Please be patient.

I want to thank everyone for their support on my last story, and if you enjoy this one at least half as much then it's a success as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks again.
