Families Made
Disclaimer: I don't own Zelda. "tear" Life sucks.
Hello! I wouldn't say its been a long time since I've updated, judging that I corrected the first chapter! So whatever. Lets begin!
It could have been a while ago when they had finally returned to what their parents called home. It wasn't technically home to them, they hadn't seen it in a long time. With barely anybody in Hyrule Castle itself knowing of their birth, especially their parent's close friends, the Prince and Princess. Thought it was true that they were born in Hyrule, and it was considered their home in a way because they were born there. But it didn't feel right, not like the stories their father had told them. No, it seemed it resembled something more disturbing other then grand as their father put it. It resembled something that seemed to be at an age of war for decades to come. Their mother had explained that, yes, Hyrule had undergone war when their father was just a baby. Their father had never really mentioned anything about his past and the war, it could have been that he didn't remember any of it. Or he just didn't want to talk about it, whatever the matter, they found out anyways because their mother had told them about his life as a child.
Lunard quickly shook his head of thoughts and looked at the brown skinned arrival that stood at the bottom of the three steps looking at him curiously. No doubt this person knew his father, Link, and saw recognition, he did hate it a little when people thought he was Link, his father. But it didn't bother him much after a while; it seemed to gain some respect because his father was quite great.
"Yes. Quite, I can't show you to Zelda though; she doesn't want to be bothered. Anyways. Who are you?" Nohan asked, drawing Lunard's attention again back to the present.
"I am the Prince of the Gerudos, Aaron, son of Nabooru." The brown skinned man replied. Lunard rolled his eyes, all this talk of title on such people, his father didn't have a title, just a name, but he was still well known. A woman of darker skin then the man, Aaron it seemed, stood behind him with what seemed to be a freshly cleaned scimitar strapped on her back and ready to be drawn. No doubt the woman was a bodyguard for this, ol' grand, Prince of the Gerudos.
"Nabooru you say? Nabooru the so called leader of the Gerudos, Queen of the desert dunes?" Nohan asked, leaning forward on his chair. Now it seemed the Aaron man's mother had a title of her own, but a so-called leader of the Gerudos, Queen of the desert dunes. Not just called that.
"That's the one. Thought she doesn't like to be called 'Queen of the desert dunes' anymore. She prefers just Nabooru. Sometimes leader, I suppose." Aaron replied, bowing his head a bit.
Nohan leaned his head back a little as if he wanted to speak with Lunard. "Zelda's told me about Nabooru. She helped your father become the hero he is now, sort of. Never knew she had a child though. Must've never met him then." Nohan whispered and he turned his attention back to Aaron. "I never knew Nabooru had a child."
"Then your sister has never told you about me then. I helped defeat Ganon when he most recently last returned." Aaron answered. "Though I would understand why she wouldn't tell you. I have my blood of my father in me, and that is why she despises me." Lunard raised an eyebrow. His mother had also told him about Ganon, and how she was once a loyal slave to him. And she had indeed mentioned Ganon returning and his father again defeating him with the help of someone else. That was about 3 days before they became engaged.
"Who is your father, anyways?" Nohan asked, getting quite interested in it all.
Aaron pursed his lips and opened his mouth to speak but was cut off from his bodyguard. "He does not speak of his name, nor does any other of the Gerudos." The woman explained. Aaron heaved a sigh and closed his mouth, thankful of not having to say it. Lunard rose an eyebrow, this was getting interesting.
"And who might you be?" Nohan asked.
"Khatiti. Her name is Khatiti. She is a Gerudo and a great friend to Nabooru and me. She only came with me as a bodyguard." Aaron explained. Lunard rolled his eyes again, figures. "But I understand you would like to know the name of my father, would you still?" Aaron asked, pursing his lips as if crossing his fingers, hoping that Nohan would say he lost his interest in the name.
But Nohan didn't. "Yes, I would still like to be given a name." Nohan answered, leaning back towards Lunard again. "So I can find out why Zelda despises him." He whispered and looked back to Aaron and Khatiti.
"Ganon. Or Ganondorf as you would call him, for you fear his true name: Ganon." Aaron answered gravely.
"Indeed, thank you. Now don't ever mention it again, son of him." A voice said from the entrance to the throne room. Lunard glanced up and saw his mother, Karina, approaching.
Aaron stood up straight and glanced over his shoulder. "You!" Aaron thundered, glaring at Karina, and swiftly approaching her. Lunard jumped a bit and headed down towards Karina to fend Aaron off.
Karina stared at Aaron as he loomed over her, glaring down at her soul. "Yes, me. And do remember that I no longer serve him." She reminded.
"I don't understand why. Why Link took you in. I should of killed you at the spot!" Aaron thundered. Lunard approached them and pulled Aaron away by his broad shoulder.
Aaron spun around and glared at him in turn now to see what the intrusion was. "You will leave her alone." Lunard ordered.
"And who do you think you are? Most likely to young and naive to even hold a sword and use it correctly." Aaron mocked, baring down on Lunard now.
"His name is Lunard, Aaron. And he's Link's son." Karina answered, stepping in front of his glare. "And you will remember that I have had my redemption. My loyalties no longer lay with the demonic one." She said.
"We shall see." Aaron mocked and he pushed past them and back to the steps, bowing on his knees. "I request permission, again, to see Princess Zelda."
Nohan stared for a moment, not totally understanding what happened. "Very well. I give you your permission. She's in the back. Lunard, I showed you where the rooms were, could you lead him there? I can't leave the throne room." Nohan said.
Aaron glanced behind his shoulder as he crotched on one knee to look at Lunard. Lunard bowed his head and nodded. "I will." He replied and he walked up to Aaron's side.
"Very well. Don't kill each other." Nohan ordered.
Lunard nodded again as Aaron got to his feet and Lunard dashed for the back of the thrones, Aaron following suit. "Go back to the Fortress, Khatiti." Aaron quickly shouted over his shoulder.
Outside the Throne Room… somewhere near Zelda's room and the Dining room… And somewhere near Nohan's room too…
Lunard and Aaron walked to Zelda's room in silence, no one spoke a thing to each other, in till they were up the stairs. "I am sorry for that." One of the two apologized. Aaron stopped and gazed at Lunard, he was the one who spoke it.
"Sorry for what?" Aaron asked.
"Back there. I thought you'd hurt my mother or something. I don't know, I just felt I needed to say I was sorry, for both of us." Lunard answered. Stopping also when they reached the top of the stairs.
"So Karina is your mother. I figured as much. So that means Link is your father. I didn't know if what she said was true. I don't trust her because she once followed her services with my father to destroy yours." Aaron explained, and he paused, thinking of what else to say. "I'm sorry also. I shouldn't of raised my voice and glared. I was acting like my father again. You know…" Lunard cut him off.
"I know. I look like my father, Link. I know, everyone says I do. Even my sister a little." Lunard said.
"Your sister? Link has two children?" Aaron asked, beyond amazed, shocked was more the word.
Lunard nodded a confirmation. "We're twins. Nobody really knew because my parents went off somewhere in a sort of vacation. Didn't really tell anybody when we returned either. Princess Zelda doesn't even know yet." Lunard said.
"Zelda, she doesn't really like to be called 'Princess' Zelda. I have always known that, but I call her Princess anyways. What's your sister's name?" Aaron asked.
"Shara. Do you call her 'Princess' Zelda because you want to tease her or just for the fun of it?" Lunard asked in return.
"I call her Princess Zelda for both those reasons, it always fun to make her angry, though sometimes it isn't. Ever since Link defeated Ganon again… we haven't always been the best of friends for a long time. She still despises me because of Ganon. Sometimes I wish that he was never my father. That is why I never speak his name, nor does my mother or any of the other Gerudos, they know how it will greave me." Aaron explained.
"Ah. Well. That's Zelda's room, right there." Lunard said, pointing to the fourth door to the left. Aaron nodded and walked towards it, but stopped.
"It is good to meet you, Lunard. Come to the desert to visit me sometimes, eh?" Aaron suggested.
Lunard nodded and turned around for the stairs. "Will do. Maybe I will come for a visit. I've never met Nabooru before, have heard stories though about her sort of helping my father save Hyrule." He said.
"I'll see you again then." Aaron said and he slipped into Zelda's room and Lunard marched back downstairs.
Wasn't that great? Well, I have no idea, you usually think its great because its your story and you expect people to like it because you like it. Actually you love it and are insanely in love with it. But I don't really care. I first ever wrote this story when I was in 3rd Grade. I remember it wasn't so good back then, I wrote it with four other people because we had to write a story and pass it along to other people who had to write in it as well, putting their name in it so the original person would know they wrote a section of it. Well anyways. Hope you enjoyed it and please review!
