Rebirth

by Hero of Lorule

After the restoration of Lorule's Triforce, Ravio and Hilda must face the rebirth of an ancient evil that lay dormant while corruption swept the land. With a lack of courage, Ravio must set out to reclaim his hero spirit and reforge Lorule's master sword, while Princess Hilda attempts to restore her Kingdom. If they fail, they both know no one will be there to help them.

1. New Day

Ravio and Hilda just stood there, wondering what they should do next. The only chance for a Triforce was gone after the crack in the pillar stopped glowing, cutting them off from Hyrule forever. As Ravio was going to get Princess Hilda, a great quake came out of nowhere and all at once the great fissure began to grow brighter and brighter until it finally shattered the great stone tablet as the flecks of stone began to flutter to the ground, something was forming where the tablet had been. It was the Lorulian Triforce. When Hilda saw this, she fell to her knees weeping and thanking Zelda and Link for saving her land. Ravio just stared at the golden triangles in disbelief. After what seemed like an eternity, Ravio went over to the princess as the sun was shining again on this fallen kingdom.

"We probably get back to your people, your highness." As Ravio gently placed his hand on her shoulder. Without a moment's hesitation she put her hand on his, silently thanking him for all he had done. For a few minutes they just remained that way. The fallen princess and her fearful hero.

"I believe you're right. In the end, Zelda and Link still displayed the qualities of the princess and the hero, which I'm afraid our land has not seen in a long time.

Rising slowly, Hilda regained her composure and turned to face Ravio. After giving him a nod, the two trekked out of their sacred realm into Lorule Castle. After seeing the destruction from the fight between Link and Yugaganon, the princess let out a tired sigh. Noticing this, Ravio let out a yawn of his own. "We've been pretty stressed the last few hours, maybe we should rest before we start seeing the people again. It's not like the kingdom will crumble to nothing in a few hours." This attempt at humor did not phase the princess as she silently pondered the future of her kingdom. After a few minutes of silently walking through the corridors of the castle, Hilda agreed with Ravio and went about the task of finding a bed for the two of them to sleep in. With all the destruction of the castle they were only able to find one room and one bed. Due to their exhaustion, the pair fell into the bed gladly falling asleep almost instantly knowing that the kingdom would be revived. Little did they know, an evil power was reviving with it.
