Disclaimer: I do not own the Legend of Zelda. Just my imagination.
Okay, well I thought maybe I should put other people's view's on the whole Link killed himself. But would it not be more interesting if Link survived? If he was found just on the brink of death? Nah, maybe the next fic I write but this one, that sucka's dead. Well review and love me? Should I even write more fan fics? I need encouragement people!
A Queen's Bath
"Your Majesty."
I scoffed inwardly. What did they honestly want with me now? Could I not have a moment's peace? Bloody hell.
"Yes?" I hear myself say.
The knight before me, nodded his head and walked slowly toward my throne. I beckoned him to come closer.
"Has something happened?" I asked seeing the knight look uneasy and unsure. Goddesses would he hurry up? I have a bath waiting for me.
"Yes, tragedy has struck the kingdom, Your Highness."
I sigh. Come on dolt what happened?
The knight sensed my impatience and opened his mouth.
"Do not speak!"
I raise my head to see Impa, walking to me. Her face still hard with cold and age. Her uniform soiled, with blood.
Does she have to come to me looking like that? I mean what would the kingdom say? A loyal liege, a Sheikah at that, must always look acceptable. I don't care what the circumstance is. Oh my, is that...... mud prints on the carpet?
Oh fucking hell.
"What is it Impa?" I say letting my irritation show.
"Stand down, knight." Impa says coming toward me, her feet still making prints in the carpet. The Royal carpet, mind you.
"Impa." I growl softly.
"My Queen Zelda, dismiss the guards." Her cold steely eyes commanded me.
I flicked my wrist. They all scattered. Impa waited to until they closed the doors to finally come forward.
"My Liege, something has happened."
"I can see. Is that blood on your clothing?"
"It is, Your Highness."
"Whom?"
"The Hero."
I raised a brow. Link? Now why would his blood be on her?
"He's dead, Zelda."
What? Dead? I didn't know anyone could kill The Hero of Time. But life always bounces back on you. So he's dead.
"How?" I stand now, trying to show I care.
"He took his own blade to himself."
Suicide?
"He killed himself Impa?" I ask.
"Yes, Zelda."
I sit back down on my throne.
"You found him then?" I shift annoyed in my seat.
"No, my nephew."
"Sheik was it?"
"Yes, your shadow a long time ago."
I sigh loud now. I don't care if Impa heard. I know she has, she lets her own annoyance show at my apathy.
Yes I know, The Hero of Time is gone. Link killed himself. Pathetic really, but what does she want me to do? Cry and mourn his death? I will, later, much later when I have to hold his funeral. Not like much will care. The people needed a Hero so I gave them one. As a child I knew I should have the throne. I would inherit it but when? Father was old but not old enough to die in a year. I needed to be Queen now. So I had that stupid prophecy come true. When the Hero rises I would be Queen. It took a lot. Tempting Ganondorf and then killing him. I say, men are quite stupid. Even Ganondorf was surprised when I turned against him. He was entertaining for awhile, but that's not how the happy ending goes. I couldn't be on the bas side, no, then Hyrule would hate me. Link was always a loner, I can recall only a few friendships. That forest girl, a ranch girl, and some others. That Sheik boy. I know for a fact he fell in love with the Hero. Too bad, Link always held a soft spot for me. And women of course. He never floated down that river. He thought we would be together forever. What a fool. How could I, a Princess turned Queen of the richest, most powerful kingdom of the world, buckle down and marry a commoner? Link didn't score any points when he was chosen by the Goddesses to save my kingdom. His blood is still as filthy as the next common birth. And I hate filth. But, I wasn't above taking him to my bed. Oh no, then he proved yet again useful. Such a pity, he had such a natural talent for making me scream his name. I wonder if he told anyone about our affair. Oh well no matter, he's dead. All that coming out as a scandal is over now. What's the saying? In order for three men to keep a secret two have to be dead? Well, I promise I won't tell.
I smirk at the thought.
"Zelda, do you think this funny?"
Oh shit, she's caught me.
"No Impa, I was thinking of...... the last time I saw Link." I forcefully let a tear slide down my face. "I shall make preparations for a proper burial."
"I will start them." Impa bows and starts to leave.
"Impa?"
"Yes, my liege?"
"Next time, clean your feet before entering the castle. You tracked dirt all over the place."
Impa looks at me then. A cold hard look, that would've sent chills down my spine. But I'm beyond that.
"I will Zelda."
"Queen Zelda." I said. She always confuses her raising me can let her act as if she were a friend. I grow up with the help of course but you don't see that cook next to me at dinner now do you?
"Queen Zelda." She repeats and goes.
Now I'm alone in the hall. By myself. I can finally let go and think about what I was thinking of before all that bothering came here.
Oh yes.
I was thinking of my bath.
Well, I tried I really did. Hey if ya wanna hear some good ass music listen to Jack Off Jill. Thye have a song called Strawberry Gashes that's to die for See you next chapter when we see what Saria or Sheik thought. Haven't decided who should go first.
