The realm was huge, empty, and lonely. It was the new home of the former king, who spent his days floating around, dreaming of the day he would return. It was the only thing he could do. To him, the realm where he was exiled was an asylum. No… hell. A white hell, to be exact. No one ever thought hell could be like this. It was a perfect punishment for eternity. Alone forever. There was no way to get out, and no way to get in. He tried already, so he knew this all to well. At first he was in denial, but the truth eventually shivered down his spin like a snake. When he accepted the truth, the snake pretty much bite him right in the ass.
He'd shed a tear, if he had a heart.
It's not like he didn't CARE what he died before he was confined there. He cared alright. It bugged him that he didn't achieve his goal. He wanted so badly to kill that runt that sent him in this place. What bugged hi evern more was that he could have killed him when he had the chance many time, but the moron underestimated the little child.
The former king was growing very tired. His only regret at the moment was that he couldn't sit down. He was forced to float on forever…
"Are you sure this is for the best?.." the young princess asked the hero, Link, who was too busy packing his stuff up.
"Of course it is, I wouldn't be so eager to go if it wasn't!,"
"But… what if something bad were to happen?"
Link laughed, " What's going to happen? The worse thing to happen was Gannondorf, and he's gone," he explained," that and everyone wont leave me alone…
"Besides," he continued," I have to find Navi."
"I suppose.." Zelda agreed. I never did like that floating good-for-nothing candle…
Link hopped on Epona, ready to go.
"Well, I'm off! I hope to see you again, princess Zelda!"
Just as he started to ride off, Zelda had stopped him.
"Link…" She spoke softly," If you really have to leave us, that's fine…but take this." She held out something Link knew quiet too well. A symbol of their friendship.
"The ocarina of time.. Thanks Zelda!"
"Link, listen," her tone turned serious," there's more to that ocarina that what you learned in your past journey. If anybody can master it, it's you. If you ever get lost coming back home, use it. It can help you."
Link looked down on it with sad eyes.
"Thanks Zelda, that means a lot to me…," Link stated," I will come back though. Nothings going to happen to this place."
"You promise?"
"I promise."
Epona started to walk away from Zelda from that point. Links last words before departing from her were:
"Don't try to be hero again, Zelda! Your not very good at it!"
The young princess chuckled before walking away, oblivious to their future broken promise.
