Back to Acadia's P.O.V! I think I did pretty well on Mufasa… What do you guys think? That was my first attempt at telling from a guy's P.O.V... Anyways Vaati is awake and ready to… Do wizardly things…. I haven't decided yet… Onward!
"Where in Subrosia is he?" I yelled looking in the kitchen to see Mufasa wasn't here either. I huffed heading to Zelda's breakfast table, she looked up at me with her eyes wide and mouth full of French toast. "I am trying to keep a low profile but do you know how hard that is when Mufasa isn't where he is supposed to be?" I hissed out of annoyance.
"Calm down. Did you check his bedroom?" Link asked playing with his eggs.
"That's the first place I looked; we were supposed to meet at the library and I waited for a half hour! I spent the last hour running around the castle using all of the secret passages I know of," I grumbled crossing my arms in front of my chest and sitting at the royal table.
"That's weird. I wonder where he went." Zelda said to herself, her head already spinning with the possibilities.
"Wherever he is he better hurry up!" I argued.
"How about you get some breakfast and start working on who the possible evil could be?" Link suggested. "I could help too, pretend that I have a cold so I don't have to go to the council room," Link smirked.
"No, you're going. As is Acandia," she smiled politely to me.
"Ugh! Why do I have to go?" I whined.
"You have to be up to date with all of the problems in Hyrule, the smallest thing could bring evil to Hyrule. We must keep our eyes peeled out for everything," Zelda reminded me.
"Oh, of course I will have to go to a boring meeting of old men," I scoffed.
"I will agree that the council meetings are better with the sages present but they cannot be, they have their own countries to rule," Zelda answered politely as always.
"Fine."
I stared lazily at wall while the elder of the councilmen argued with Zelda for the umpteenth time. "Why do you insist upon sending the Sheikah to search for a great evil on their own? I asked the head councilmen venomously.
"The Sheikah like you are a weapon, nothing more," The head councilor hissed at me.
I stood out of my chair sending my chair to the wall and grabbed the head councilors' shirt in my fist, "My people were your people once. Now that we have new skills you treat us like we are something to be used and thrown away! My people almost all died out in the last war Hyrule held, and I know that you were an advisor at the time your old brute, and now that we are just starting to get our numbers back up you want to send us out to die alone?" I snarled at him.
Someone put their hand on my shoulder, I turned to see and it was Mufasa trying to hide a smirk. I let go of the councilman's shirt and sat back down glaring at the table. Mufasa squeezed my shoulder, "I do believe she is right. If we do have another war I dare say that the Sheikah will refuse."
"Just because you're an old heir of the Sheikah doesn't mean that you know what's best for Hyrule Sir," the head councilmen hissed at Mufasa.
"I think that is enough councilor Gregior, please we are all Hyruleian's here. Our first priority is to save Hyrule from this unseen evil. Race is not important, especially when the only difference is secret fighting styles and eye color," Zelda glared at head councilor Gregior. "We'll end this here. Tomorrow we shall pick this up."
The elderly men all left with murmurs of unease. I turned back to Mufasa, "Where in the goddesses good name have you been?"
"Ah, were you worried for little old me?" he said pointing to himself.
I blushed slightly trying to repel the idea, "No I had to go to this boring meeting because you were gone!"
"My apologies, but I just wanted a few hours of fresh air."
"You couldn't of told me that?" I asked my voice sounding hurt.
"I wasn't thinking, truly I am sorry about that leaving you here with the 'brute' as you called him," Mufasa smirked at me.
I tried to hide my smile but failed so I hid my face in my hair, "Anyway what are we going to do?"
"I think her majesty had the right idea in taking a day off," Mufasa said slowly as the smirk on his face grew to a grin.
"I see nothing wrong with it; the day is almost completely gone anyways. I'm going to visit the twins for the rest of the afternoon," Zelda said leaving with Link by her side.
I looked at Mufasa from the corner of my eye and he looked pale, uneasy, and pissed off. I turned and his smile returned, but I could easily tell it was a fake to throw me off. What was he hiding then?
I did what I often did to Kovu to get his attention; I put both of my hands on either side of his face and made him look up into my eyes so he would be intimidated to tell the truth, "Why are you lying? Where did you go? What's wrong?"
His smile died immediately and he trembled slightly. "I…. I don't know what you're talking about," he lied.
"Don't bullshit me," I said in a low clear voice.
"You don't need to concern yourself with me," he said just as clear as I had, but he sounded like he would break soon.
"I may not need to, but I want to, so will you let me help you. I know you are troubled you cannot hide it," I whispered.
"No, you'll think I'm...A monster. I messed up Acandia, "he looked up pleadingly into my eyes.
"No I won't think any differently of you. You have my word."
"I-I freed Vaati!" He said quickly tears ready to come at my reaction. I went numb, and fell forward held my Mufasa who was now balling, "I'm so sorry I didn't know! I can explain! I promise I'll help you catch him, but he's my little brother I couldn't kill him!"
Poor Mufasa! Please Review, let me know what you think of Mufasa please, do you love him? Hate him? Feel sorry for him? Suggestions are awesome too!
