This gives you a reason to give me reviews, which made me happy to the extremestist! Whoo hoo! 75 reviews! Thank you! . I should make Link or Zelda gives kisses to you all!

Link/Zelda-glares coldly-

Er... Nevermind, enjoy the chappie!

And be afraid... XD Be very afraid...

Zelda stomped off, anger and pain swelling in her chest.

Link wasn't a murderer. She knew he wasn't. He was just… a different type of hero. But why goddesses why did he have to be stubborn like that. She hated and loved him for that. But she hated him more for that… Or did she love him more for that? She became very confused.

Stop thinking about that now… You have to take action before the people of Hyrule lose their queen, or even worse, another loved one of yours…

Zelda snapped her fingers and shouted impatiently.

"Guards!" she called out. A few guards walked up to her, along with, surprisingly, Xenon.

"Princess Zelda are you alright?" he asked. Zelda nodded.

"Yes, I am fine," Zelda, said. "I want you two to come with me," she said to the two guards. Prince Xenon followed.

"Milady I'd be glad to assist you in your current affairs," he said with a quick bow.

"Good," Zelda said. "Make sure there are no other assassins around me as we go arrest Cheveyo."

Xenon nodded, and beyond Zelda's view, the two guards nervously looked over to the prince. He made a quick gesture to them, and they were quickly silenced.

They speed walked over to the castle grounds where Cheveyo was training the men, watching them intently on their skills.

Zelda looked over to Cheveyo, who made a slight smile.

"Zelda," he said calmly. "How are you feeling?"

"Slightly, shocked I suppose," she answered. "I've just been ambushed by ten men disguised in black. Link took them down and revealed them to be one of the royal guards… Care to explain?"

Cheveyo thought about this and what she said for a second. He looked at her, seeing her cold expression.

"Milady, you wouldn't think that I would ever," Cheveyo started to say, but Zelda interrupted.

"I'm sorry Cheveyo," Zelda said. "You are under arrest for assassination to the Royal King, and attempted murder to the heir," Zelda said referring to herself.

"Milady please," Cheveyo shouted, but Xenon interrupted.

"Sorry Cheveyo, but it all fits," he said and gestured for the guards to come forwards. They did and reluctantly arrested them. All the other guards were in shock.

Link watched painfully as his great friend was sent to jail. He couldn't believe that the man who Link always wanted to grow up to be, would end up in jail. He closed his eyes in remembrance.

A small boy raised his sword with fire in his eyes, he slammed it down with power upon the grotesque monster. It was a pure white monster out of the ground, its jaws open wide as it made a screech in pain, causing pain to the little boy's sensitive pointy ears. He covered them with a wince, only to regret doing so.

A long white hand rose out of the ground once more and snatched his arm, holding him tightly. Link struggled to break free from the grip, but he was unable to do so.

This caught the monster's attention and he glided through the black ashy earth and up towards the little boy. He opened his mouth wide, ready to suck the life out of the child.

Until a small sword came out from the darkness, spinning towards the beast and chopping it's head off.

A man stood there before the boy. His eyes just as fierce as the boy's, but only with more wisdom and power…

As soon as the hand sunk back into the ground, the little boy, dressed in green walked up to the man.

"Thank you sir," he said. The man smiled. He was clad in a black and orange bodysuit. He twirled his large pole… The red ripped cloth tying the small sharp sword to the wooden stick together made a wave of red.

"A little boy? Deep inside the depths of the well," he said in surprise. "You're lucky you survived kid…"

"I had some practice," the boy said, making a slight blush at his compliment.

"Some practice, eh?" He grinned. "Say, what's your name?"

"Link," the boy said.

"Ah, call me Cheveyo," he said.

"Cheveyo?"

"Yeah, so tell me," he said casually. "Why are you down here?"

"I wanted to save the girl who fell into the well…"

Cheveyo smiled. "You've made quite an accomplishment already. Are you trying to be some sort of little hero?"

Link blushed again. "I guess," he said, not knowing where the man was going. "Were you doing the same?"

Cheveyo nodded. He looked over to the monster and shot a glance at Link.

"I hope you're not easily frightened or disgusted, are you?"

Link thought about that for a moment before going on. He never thought about being afraid or disgusted when going into a battle with a monster. He shook his head.

And with that, Cheveyo swung his weapon and chopped the monster before him to pieces, sending icy blue smoke into the room, until all was left but a small skeleton. He poked a human-like ribcage stuck in the monster.

"The girl is dead," Cheveyo sighed. Link observed with a frown and a sigh.

"Did you know her?"

Link shook his head. Cheveyo smiled.

"I like you kid. You don't know the girl, yet you still risked your life for her."

"I'm just doing what I can," Link replied. Cheveyo thought for a moment before continuing.

"Say? You happen to be good enough with the blade… I could offer you lessons if you want?"

Link raised an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Yes really," he replied. "If that's what you want…"

"Sure," Link said excitedly.

"Alright then," Cheveyo said. "But lets get out of this well first."

Link agreed.

Link looked over as Zelda shot a look at him. Both expressions were in total pain. Link looked away and left.

He marched out of the castle, wanting nothing more than fresh air. No wait, he did want something more. He wished Zelda would forgive him.

Link sighed at that as he passed the guards. He shot a glance at them before walking by.

Normally, the guards wouldn't let him stray away from the castle, but Zelda, now as queen, took the charges off of Link and he was simply Zelda's personal servant again.

Walking through the alleyways, he reminisced about how many times he ran into the freezing rain and found someone in danger of criminals. He remembered defeating a simple amateur of a thief from trying to steal a bit of food from a small child, to rescuing the innocent from being tortured by madmen.

He never thought of it as taking the guilty person's life away. He knew now that he was truly just one of them.

And as much as he wanted to fight it, he knew he couldn't. It was his curse that he lived by…

Were the people I killed bound to this curse, too?

Link shrugged, trying to push his thoughts away from the subject, but they always came back to him as he recalled the argument he and Zelda created.

And that same thought came to his head that he never even realized before.

What am I doing? I've become a monster. Taking away people's lives without even the slightest thought of remorse…

He bit his lip and refused to melt into cries again. But it still didn't numb the sharp stabbing pains in his heart.

Link walked forwards again with his head lowered.

His ears then perked at the sound of footsteps. He looked up and around the barren alleyway.

Until suddenly, he turned around to see one of the guards swing his sword with full force. Link quickly blocked, only to have his sword knocked out of his hand.

He took out a small dagger out of his boot before facing the guard.

"You're leader is sent to jail. You will get no more money out of killing me."

The guards grinned. "You know nothing…"

He attacked again as a couple more guards ran up to fight. It was very long hard and painful as Link tried to block each sword with his dagger, or avoid slashes at his right side, until he did a back flip and landed on his sword with a grin.

He picked it up and relaxingly took down the guards, leaving only one alive. He picked him up by the shirt with a growl.

"Who sent you?" Link angrily said.

The guard shook his head. Link became impatient. He had to know now! He grabbed the guard's wrist and slowly started to bend it oddly, causing pain to the guard.

"Tell me or I break every bone your body!" Link growled.

The man made a cry of pain. "The prince bribed us with at least a thousand rupees each. He said just to ambush you while he deals with the princess."

"Zelda," Link said in shock.

"Its too late now," the guard said with a grin before fainting.

Link released the guard in horror. He looked over to the castle and saw a single light in Zelda's bedroom.

Zelda sorted out some papers in her bedroom. She frowned. Not even the papers that she had to sign could take her thoughts away from Link...

She sighed as she forced herself not to cry.

Why does every person I care about have to leave me? Whether in death or emotionally, it seems everyone is leaving me alone…

She sighed before getting back to her work. She made a sob internally until a knock appeared on her door. Zelda didn't answer, praying to the goddesses that it wasn't Link.

"Princess Zelda," Prince Xenon said through the wooden door. "It's me… Is this a bad time?"

Zelda sighed. "No it isn't, come in…"

Prince Xenon bent down and felt his boot with a smirk before entering. He walked up to Zelda.

"Are you okay Zelda?" he asked. Zelda nodded with a smile.

"Yes I am fine… You seem to keep asking me that constantly… Why is that?"

Xenon smiled. "I am simply making sure you are alright. It would be terrible if you were injured in anyway… Terrible for me that is…"

Zelda nodded. "I thank you for caring so much, but I can take care of myself."

He nodded back and looked around the room, spotting a certain portrait of Zelda on the wall. He looked over to the beautiful painting.

"Well, well, well… I heard of this noble artist. His name is Prince Winchel, isn't it?"

"Yes," Zelda said calmly, realizing that no extra pain came to her. Link had healed her wounds. She lowered her head. If only he didn't say what he said before. Then she wouldn't be in this pain.

"Drawn very well… Did he draw many pictures of you?"

Zelda nodded. "I was his model, I guess. He used to send in a few pictures of me in art competitions… Is that how you knew his work?"

Xenon nodded. "I happen to be an artist myself. He and I used to always join art competitions," he then frowned. "He was always got first place."

He then sat next her and looked into her eyes with a smile.

"But that doesn't matter anymore… Anyway, I am very interested in creating a picture of you, myself. You don't mind, do you?"

Zelda smiled. "Of course not… I'll pose for you."

Xenon smiled excitedly and grabbed an easel and paints. He then got back to Zelda's room and whipped out his paintbrush.

"Okay just relax and… yes that's good," he commented. Zelda smiled as she leaned on a pole holding up the curtains of her bed.

Xenon began to work quickly and excitedly. He made a quick sketch, making sure everything was in detail.

"Finished," Xenon then said. Zelda looked over at the picture.

"Well, it's really good. You do have talent," she commented.

"Am I better than Winchel?" Xenon asked. Zelda frowned.

"Well, I'm not sure… They do look very alike, but I'm not sure yours is better," she looked up to Xenon with a smile. "I'm sure you'll get better as you practice."

That was they way she was. After seeing as many of Winchel's portraits, she became some sort of art judge herself.

Zelda removed herself from those simple thoughts and looked over to Xenon. He had a stern frown on his face.

"You know, it always got me so jealous that Winchel was the better artist than I was…"

Zelda nodded, listening closely.

"I used to hate him for that," Xenon said and then grinned, making Zelda very uncomfortable. "He had all the artistic, musician, and poetry talents. The loveliest princess's heart… Everything seemed so perfect for him…"

"What are you trying to say?" Zelda asked. Xenon gave her a heated glare.

"I worked so hard for all those things, and that damn prince had to take it all away from me!" Xenon burst out in rage. Zelda backed away in fear.

"Xenon calm down," Zelda said quietly, yet fiercely underneath. Xenon looked over at her with a glare.

"How did you do it?" Xenon asked. Zelda became confused.

"How did I do what?"

Xenon slowly took a long knife out of his boot and pulled a strand of golden blonde hair away from her face with it. Zelda backed up as he drew the weapon, watching it cautiously.

"How did you escape the men who killed Winchel?" Xenon asked.

Those words struck through her head like an arrow. Zelda made a silent gasp as her eyes widened.

I never told anyone about how Winchel died! Only Link and I were supposed to know!

"How do you…?" Zelda started, but Xenon interrupted her.

"How is it that I find three of my men dead in an alleyway," Xenon said fiercely with a hateful glare. "You and Winchel were outside the castle. I sent my men to kill Winchel right away and do what they wanted with you. But you… I find you safe the next day and my men killed. Winchel was dead, so the plan was carried out. But how…"

His voice died as he raised his sword.

"Answer me or I'll kill you just like your father!" Xenon growled. Zelda screamed.

"GUARDS!"

Xenon laughed evilly. "No one will come for you! I have the guards all bribed. You see I am a very good actor… You never thought the prince who visited the castle, who cares so much for your health… A prince who you think came here to offer you his love… Would be the one trying to assassinate the King of Hyrule, and it's queen…"

"You're mad," Zelda said. It was her only defense. She was unarmed, and could only use the wit of her tongue to save herself now. Unless Link came to save her again…

Xenon grabbed her by the arm harshly and growled. "Answer me woman! How did you escape!"

Zelda winced in pain before glaring back. "I just happen to have connections."

Xenon growled again and swung his knife at her. Luckily, with the reflexes Link trained her to do, she ducked low enough to dodge it.

Xenon made as many slashes and swipes at her as hard as he could, but Zelda was too quick. She dodged every single attack calmly. Xenon quickened the speed, causing Zelda to back away until she was trapped into a corner. Xenon grinned.

"I'm going to enjoy this," he cackled mercilessly. Zelda moved as far as she could to the wall.

Zelda, deciding to take action, kicked Xenon in the stomach forcefully and knocked away his knife. She dove for it until something snatched at her hair.

Zelda struggled as much as she could as Xenon wrapped his hands around her neck, lifting her up off the ground. Xenon grinned madly.

"Finally every memory of that bastard prince will be gone," he cackled. "So sorry sweet princess, but you're time is up."

Zelda gasped as her air was cut off and she began to drift away into unconsciousness.

Link burst the door open immediately, his dagger out as in one swift motion, he threw the blade at Xenon as it connected with his arm, dropping the unconscious Zelda. He pulled out the knife as Link took out his sword.

"I don't know how you escaped from the guards," Xenon said in rage. "But I am not letting you ruin my plans!"

Link didn't say anything. He was too caught up in a controlled rage that boiled his blood as his intense gaze of cold icy hatred looked upon the prince.

Xenon ran forwards with the blood stained blade in his hands as Link threw it away with great force, he then made a swift stab at Xenon's chest, immediately killing him.

Xenon fell to the ground. Link's eyes softened and watered as he rushed towards Zelda.

"Zelda!" Link gasped. "Zelda! Zelda! Please be okay," he said in tears as he gently lifted her. He hugged her close as he put his ear against her chest to hear the small thumping of her heart. Link made a sigh of relief as he held her close.
