Two chapters in one day makes for a happy author.
Although this took me weeks to write...Oh wells!
Well, this chapter's short since the whole action-y stuff happens next chapter so I shall leave the suspense of the ending for about a month or so!
Nothing else to really say other than to let Vi do the disclaimer!
Violet: Abigal Satoshi xx does not own anything other that the Eluryians...Oh, so you finally figured that out?
Shut it you! Anyway, enjoy it (or don't...whatever)
The main hall was bathed in a low light from the candles placed around the room and lots of royal guests of all races were seated around those circular tables that the Links had so painstakingly placed with the Princess eyeing their work carefully, all of them talking animatedly about current events. The Princess in question was sat in one of the middle seats of the long table situated at the very back of the hall – high windows behind letting the moonlight shine over it. The five Links sat to the Princess' right side (In the order of Green, Blue, Red, Vio, Shadow).
Zelda stood and the chatting crowd hushed almost at once. The regal girl smiled gently and spoke, "Thank you all for attending this evening. As you all know we are all here to welcome new relations between Hyrule and a neighbouring country of Eluryh. We have the Prince of Eluryh here with us tonight; please welcome him and his companions."
On cue, the large doors opened at the other end of the room and all heads turned to see the Prince that they had so eagerly been awaiting. His companions caused a small murmur to spread throughout every table as they all looked so similar to their own heroes.
These heroes – I should mention – were shocked too. They had not seen anything that the crowd had not and so their first impression of their counterparts was one of alarm. Blue turned to Green, "What the hell?" He whispered in a harsh tone, "How do they look so much like us?"
Green just shrugged. He glanced at Zelda and saw her supressing a giggle, looking right at them. He looked confused for a second before turning back to the visitors. They were all bowing to the Princess and walking to their seats; Adlez next to Zelda and the others in the same order but from the left instead.
The servants of Hyrule Castle began to bring in the food for all the guests and the whole meal passed very serenely and nicely; nothing strange happened. Once the excess food had been taken away and dealt with, the prince and princess stood.
"And now, Princess Zelda and I will have the first dance, while being accompanied by our heroes." Adlez spoke to the silent crowd. The royal figures stood and made their way to the middle of the floor where there was a space in which people could dance. Adlez bowed, Zelda curtseyed and they began to dance slowly.
The heroes in question were far from joining their leaders; they were sitting at the top table, talking in hushed whispers. Neither party had been told of this event.
As the regal figures continued to dance, Violet sighed. She glanced over and caught the eye of one of the Links (Vio to be precise). A few seconds later, both of them stood and walked round to the front of the table, they bowed and curtseyed and joined their leaders in the dance. Pair by pair, the heroes joined in (although it took several songs before Sky and Blue would FINALLY join them all).
The dancing ended for them soon after this and all the other guests either joined in with the dancing or began mingling with other guests that were sat at other tables. Both the princess and prince were swept into conversations, leaving the Links to go and do their regular party activities and leaving the Knils alone in a small group.
Rose looked up at her taller companions, "So…what do we do?" She asked, slight timidness showing in her voice.
"I don't know what you'll do, but I'm gonna go a talk to that Shadow boy again, he is hilarious!" Dusk replied, already walking off.
"I'm going to stand over here where no one can see me in this horrible thing…" Sky answered, looking down at her dress.
Leaf was looking around, "Where'd Vi run off to now? Oh Rose, why don't you come and talk to people with me then?" Rose was happy to stay with someone familiar and stayed close to Leaf, while taller girl began to talk to some of the guests.
Violet was standing out on one of the balconies that lead off from some of the windowed doors in the ballroom. She was looking up at the moon and stars, wishing to be away from all this silly partying.
Vio was passing by the balcony when he spotted the girl. Shrugging, he decided to join the girl. Both of them talked about several subjects – mainly about Hyrule and Eluryh, the princess and prince and the silliness of this dance.
Little did either of them know that their presence would alert a couple of surviving forces of a certain Wind Mage to the gathering of many important people in Hyrule.
Once the entire night was over and most of the people were about to leave, the Princess stood to say a final speech. The speech did not happen as a single servant ran into the ballroom with a piece of news that no one was happy to hear,
"He's back! His forces are in the lower levels of the castle!"
