I have nothing to say today, but hope you enjoy this chapter because I'm gonna start making them longer.

Fordnonag's proposal

Zelda stood out on her balcony, thinking about the night before. She looked up at the gray sky, and sighed. "Rain again it looks like..." As a cold breeze blew by, she hugged herself and shuddered. As chilly as the morning was, she could not bring herself to go inside. What if Link would never understand. What if she never saw him again, and all because of Fordnonag. She hoped that she would never have to see him again. But no sooner had she made this wish, than Impa walked in to inform that Fordnonag awaited her in the thrown room.

"Thank you, Impa," she said, without turning around. Quick, cold tears began to roll from her crystal blue eyes, and down her cheeks. She already knew why he was back. Her father had taken favor to him, and he had taken favor to her. If he was here to propose, she would have no choice but to accept, but maybe just maybe, he was here to bid farewell so he could return back to his own land. Drying her eyes, she slowly walked inside, and down the long stairwell to the thrown room.

When she arrived, she was not surprised to see Fordnonag and her father standing shoulder to shoulder. In his hand, he held a single red rose. "For you, my princess," he said, offering it to her. She wordlessly accepted, but could not help but to feel a sickening feeling in her gut. There was just something odd about this man.

"Darling, I have wonderful news," exclaimed king Daphenes. "This young man has offered you his hand in marriage! The search is over, no more of those annoying suitors! Isn't wonderful?"

Zelda looked at her father, her eyes once again watering. "You are foolish father! Can you not see the evil in this man's heart? I refuse his proposal!"

"Zelda, how dare you be disobedient?! This young man is a saint, and you are being out of line! You will be his wife by dawn of tomorrow, and you have no choice in the matter! It tis your duty to become a capable queen, and mine to find you a king."

"So then what, father?! When I become his wife, he makes all my decisions? Just as you do now?! Why would you rather I not role along side someone I love?!" By now she was shaking in frustration. Without another word, she ran back up the steps, and into her room. She started to go out onto the balcony, but stopped when she noticed the pouring rain. She leaned against the cold brick wall of her room, and slowly slid down to her knees. Just as she began to fall into even deeper depression, she thought of Link. No mater what, she had to see him. At that instant, she grabbed a cloak from a long oak chest at the end of her bed. Quickly putting it on, she ran out to the balcony.

It really was high up, and she doubted she would be able to climb down using the veins alone. She knew Link had done it several times, so she had to at least try. It was time she started to take control of her own life. So taking a deep breath, Zelda swung her leg over the balcony. Getting a good grip, she swung over the other leg. Soon, she began to make her way down.

Rain drops fell upon her face and clouded her vision, and her grip on the wet veins was not good. A few times she did loose her footing, but she finally made it down into the castle garden. Letting out a relieved sigh, she ran out the gate, and around the castle. That was only the easy part. She still had the castle soldiers to work around. From behind a tall bush, she examined the soldiers movements carefully. Then almost forcing herself, she dashed across the drawbridge, and down the meadow. Before she knew it, she was in Hyrule Field.
