A/N:
So, for those of you who are still reading, here is the short, final chapter of "A Blue Eyed Beast."
Enjoy!
Epilogue
It had been long since I had last seen Zelda; probably around a few months or so. We hadn't talked or crossed paths, just as she had promised. Occasionally I missed her and her haphazard ways or her child like demeanor that she sometimes wore around me. Everything I missed about her, though, was replaced with happiness. Without a doubt I knew I was happy. Every single second I spent with Ilia seemed to make my heart flutter. I smiled at everything she did. Ever flaw Zelda had ever had, Ilia made up for. She was perfect, and I knew for sure that was true.
Recently, Ilia and I discovered that we had been blessed with a child. Our marriage hadn't been but around a month ago, but her pregnancy was further along than that. When I look at my blonde-haired, childhood love she now has a small baby bump forming on her belly. She grins at me when we sit together and I rest my hand on her abdomen. We are truly happy. I know that I never could have enjoyed such a life with Zelda-we were too different of people. She craved power while I enjoyed simplicity; she was royalty while I was a simple rancher.
But even knowing that, I still had my moments of nostalgia.
I walked outside to mount Epona so that I could pick up some milk from the ranch, when, suddenly, the mailman arrived. He handed me a plain white envelope with no return address-just my name written in a fancy script. That was all it took for me, though. In an instance I knew the letter was from Zelda. Her perfect writing and sweet scent gave her away. I inhaled deeply, taking in her perfume and was reminded of nights when I laid beside her and days I spent around her. There was a bittersweet pang at my heart, but I continued. I opened the piece of mail to find only a small note:
Dearest Link,
I know that I am breaking my promise, and I am truly sorry for that. But today I thought of you and couldn't hold myself back. I just wanted to say I love you.
I miss you.
Please, don't write back.
Yours truly,
Zelda
I sort of chuckled sadly, if possible, and shook my head after reading the note. I hurt inside as I came to a realization: I no longer loved Zelda. I tore the note to pieces and watched them as they flew away, taking my past and a part of me with them.
A/N:
Ah, there. It is finished. :)Aren't you all happy that I finally did this? I hope you enjoyed "A Blue Eyed Beast" even though it took years to finish. :P
I am just not cut out for this anymore. Ahaha.
Until next time!
