Chapter 2 Trouble Brews in Hyrule
Linka and Ralf were practically running though the field to get to Hyrule lake. The breeze whipped the green hat on Linka's head around, but it stayed firmly in place. Ralf never understood how she could be faster than him. A familiar blonde came into view and Linka stopped when she saw he older brother. Just the person to see right?
"Linka, Ralf!" Sheik called and they stopped. He had a sly and bemused look on his face, "Where have you guys been? Dad and Mr. Vincent are not at all happy with you two."
Ralf gave a nervous laugh. He knew his father would suspect the worst because, despite what Vincent would say to Malon and despite how Ralf acted, Vincent still considered him his son and thus assumed that Ralf would take right after him. Though, that always made Ralf wonder what his father was like when he was a teenager.
"We spent the night training at the ranch," Linka explained calmly to her brother. She had stopped a few inches away from him. She knew if no one else believed her, he would, "and we over-slept because Mr. Genius knew I couldn't resist the fight and he's gotten much better."
Sheik nodded his head, "Linka you have to learn better self-restraint if you don't want to end up in more situations like this," an anxious look was on his face, then again if your wife was at the castle with your first-born and couldn't make it to the little gathering, you'd wanna be with them.
"I take it Tula couldn't make it? Don't let us stop from getting you there," somehow Ralf understood what Sheik wanted. It had nothing to do with being engaged to a certain Princess for little over a year and still having no idea when the wedding was.
Linka nodded her agreement and Sheik, with a smile on his face left the two to attend to his wife and new-born. With a quick sigh they were off again. Jumping over the gates to the lake, why were those always closed anyway? They made it to Lake Hylia-where two very displeased fathers awaited them.
Linka and Ralf braced themselves for one of the scariest moments of their lives.
"Linka Farore Knightly! Vincent Dante Aegis the Third!" the names were called together and jumbled by their father's voices. Link and Vincent had apparently been waiting and practically stalking the gates.
Ralf's many siblings, including his immediate younger sister, Vivienne, had gathered around. She had an interested smile on her face. Now she wasn't happy he had gotten into trouble, but the idea he may have finally gotten somewhere with Linka brought delight to her face.
Linka's twin brother Lance had been giving their younger sister Zina a piggy-back-ride, but now he was watching. Like a hawk he watched Ralf's face closely. Lance wasn't always the best brother. Cocky, arrogant, and self-centered he paid little attention to his sister unless she was near Vivienne. Now however his brotherly nature was peeking through.
" Where have you been?" Link asked barely a foot away from them. Vincent was right by him and stared down at the two, "you knew that we were meeting here early!"
"You weren't at the house last night or you would've come with us," Vincent interjected, "and you weren't at the castle otherwise you would have come with the Knightlys."
"That leaves the possibility of the ranch, but Cally would've awoken you," the way Link and Vincent were interrogating them, some would've thought it was planned out.
"We were at the ranch!" Linka quickly defended and all eyes turned to her, "we were helping out and then Ralf challenged me to a duel and well we were up all night fighting."
"So we were late to rise this morning," Ralf left out the part about how he had been awake, but didn't want to disturb Linka, who in her sleep had rolled over and curled up beside him. He was certain Link would not have wanted to hear that.
"And you expect us to just believe that?" Vincent crossed his arms over his chest and stared down at them. Whether it was just because Link wanted to believe his little girl wasn't telling a lie or because he honestly believed was unclear as he put his hand on Vincent's shoulder and smiled.
"Come on Vincent or I'll eat all the apple pie," Link chuckled as her walked over to the picnic blanket.
"I'll kick your ass if you touch my pie Damnit!" Vincent hurried off after his long-time friend. Linka and Ralf each took a deep sigh and went to join their siblings and family.
Samantha irritatingly pulled her shear cloak on. It wasn't a normal cloak, the sides were slit up to just on her shoulder and the front had an ability to stay together without the aid of a button in the front. It covered her figure, which was more than her outfit underneath could boast.
"I can't believe him," she fumed as she pulled on her shoes, which had an open heal, yet hugged the rest of her foot up to her ankle. Her ebony hair, darker than any other hung loosely to her mid-back, "the knight of a goddess and he's so dense!"
She paused looking herself in the mirror. Very faintly one could see her outfit through the cloak. It was a strange outfit that she had acquired after she gave away the Triforce of Love. A pair of mid-thigh length black shorts and a shirt that came over her chest and cover barely much else.
Yes she had thought this was a more suitable outfit for a Goddess such as herself compare to the long flowing robes she used to wear. Someone went a little egotistical didn't they? And yet it seemed that it made no difference to her Knight. Well he made it seem that way.
"Well it doesn't matter," she told her mirror. No it doesn't talk back folks, "If he still refuses me after we've finished I'll just-" she couldn't finish her sentence as she grabbed for her throat. The Triforce she wore, the blackened shadow of a triangle that made up the Triforce of Hate, on her equally dark choker was burning again.
"I will not give in," she fought back the urge that told her hand to rip it off of her throat, "You will not regain control of this body! You who gave up the Triforce so willingly!" With a great effort she pushed back the force and her Triforce stopped burning and she stood straight up. Yes folks the Goddess of Love and Hate has two sides, just like her two Triforce.
"Damn love. If you really cared so much for your Knight you would've confessed to him before now," she huffed as she made her decent onto Hyrule, "as for me, I have bigger plans."
The men she was now going to visit were the only men who could help her achieve her goal. Not even she dared to play with the dead, but those powers had been granted to a certain someone's. The only two people who dared to attempt to defy the Angel of Death.
A deep sigh escaped the man known to you as Chris. Why the deep sigh? His lovely Goddess had changed. She used to be so modest and gentle-then she gave away one of her two Triforces, the Triforce of love. She gave it to some mortal couple to save the world. Which was all good and stuff, until she started acting different. Her wardrobe changed from the elegant robes to rather skimpy two piece suits, now not that Chris complained or anything.
However, the personality that came with those outfits wasn't his Goddess. Yes his Goddess was not seductive, she did not try to tempt him with syrup first thing in the morning, nor any other time...though he may have liked that. Still he was finding harder and harder to ignore it. He truly cared for her, but not this viper that had taken her place, though what could he do?
He was just a knight right? He didn't have the power to over-throw a Goddess. Even if he had the power he wasn't sure he could raise a hand against his fair Goddess. How could he harm that soft face? That face he so longed to-oopsy, not suppose to go into that. Back to the mission. Seducing the sister of the wielder of the Triforce of Power.
Entering Kakoriko Village where the Aegis Family Manor resided Chris directed himself there. How did he know? It's not like it's the biggest house in the village or anything. Vivienne was easy to spot amongst her siblings, after all she was the oldest girl and it showed. Don't we all know it. Though Chris only had eyes for his Goddess, even he noticed that she was rather endowed for her age, though she was far too young for his tastes anyway. Yeah, he's like ancient.
Walking up to the young maiden Chris smiled, though it was forced, "hello there. I'm new and if you would be as so kind I believe I need a tour guide."
Vivienne looked him over, he was handsome. She had never seen anyone with hair as dark as his, it was like the night sky. Then again most Hylians are blonde and she's related to all the red-heads. His clothes were strange to her. Instead of a tunic he wore what looked like a night-shirt. Or as we know it a white button-up dress shirt.
And black slacks, though Vivienne couldn't place what they were. Isn't it great that somehow Chris acquired futuristic clothes? Then again he wears what pleases his Goddess. Even though he didn't need his glasses, for some reason his Goddess thought he looked sexy in them.
Vivienne smirked and stood from where she had been sitting on her front porch, "Well I suppose I can spare a few minutes."
And of course who would come walking up at that moment but Lance, Vivienne's crush. Alas like most girls she wouldn't tell him, but instead played mind games-and now was no exception. She grabbed Chris's arm and hooked it in hers, "in fact I think we should leave right now." Then in a lowered whisper said, "quick smile and laugh like you're happy."
Now Lance, who normally was a pretty cocky and arrogant guy, even his confidence wavered when he saw Vivienne latch onto some strange-looking man's arm. Now he normally had blue eyes, but now they were an emerald green. Jealous is such an ugly beast.
The smile on her face pricked at his heart. After all who the hell was this guy anyway? Did he think that he could just waltz into town and take Vivienne away? The truth was Chris was just as confused as Lance was as he smiled as Vivienne requested, though it was plainly forced, Lance paid no attention to that. What a dunce...
However it seemed to be working. The day was spent with Lance trailing Chris and Vivienne. Can he get any more stalkerish? However somewhere else in Hyrule trouble stirred.
Samantha sauntered into the old cabin, "Lars! Virgil!" her voice flew through the air as a dark requiem would. Two men, old in age, but they looked in their early twenties, emerged from the shadows and bowed, "I see you're as well as ever." Yay the sexy shadows have returned! cough I mean isn't this interesting...
"Being a Shadow that never truly dies will do that," the shadow of Link stood up. He has a point right? "to what do we owe the pleasure of this meeting?"
Samantha took the seat that was offered her and threw her legs over the arm of the chair, not trying now is she? Though since Lars and Virgil are gay, her sexiness really doesn't matter here, "I'm afraid my Knight has started to figure out that I have trapped my other side. I fear his loyalty towards her will cloud his performance for me."
"And that's why you came to us?" Vincent's shadow replied as he sat across from her, and Lars took his seat beside Virgil, nothing suspicious going on, "You have a plan I assume?"
"Of course I do," she chuckled, "I will bring back two who have died for the sake of a loved one. And thus they will be under my control. I will also disguise them and one of you, who will take them and present them to my targets." And of course we know who they are.
"Of course my fair Goddess," Virgil's smile was possibly more vial than Gannondorf's, talk about an evil smirk, "but what the one of us who doesn't go?"
"I will reveal that in due time, oh and boys," she stood and stared down at them, "If you fail me, I will make your remaining days hell on Hyrule." With that she disappeared in the smoke. Dang she can be spooky...wait when did she go ninja Goddess?
