-One Week Later (Ending 2)
I sat in my room, feeling bad about what I had done to Link. After I had started walking, I ran back, and healed him and took him with me. I just wanted to disappear forever. I got dressed in a shirt and pants. The shirt was more like a black bustier that pushed my breasts up, making them look significantly larger. My pants were skin tight and made of a shiny black material. They showed off my legs, and the shirt highlighted my fit body. I let my hair down. My blonde locks swung down. I put my mascara and lip gloss on for the finishing touch. I don't wear any other cosmetics. My face is naturally flawless. I went to the dresser on the other side of the small, sandstone room, and opened the top drawer. There they were, my old weapons. Two small, glossy black hand guns. I put them in my belt, which I just put on. I also had a knife in each boot, and a switch blade in my bra. I learnt all of this from a famous Hyrulian singer named Kim. She had her own brand. She was a young girl too.
When I had returned, I was locked in a small room in Midna's castle, under ground, so I couldn't escape. They are so stupid though. There is a vent in the ceiling. I have been crafting my escape plan. They have me locked here until the trial. I jumped, and grabbed the vent, which moaned under my weight. Then, pulling it clean out of the ceiling, I hid it under the bed. I jumped again and grabbed a bar in the vent shaft. Then I grabbed the edge and pulled myself over. This was a big vent. Big enough for me to stand in. I only had a limited amount of time to escape. I heard the door open in the room.
"Zelda?" a cautious voice called. It was Midna. Shit. I walked silently. Luckily, the vents were not metal like in the castle, but they were sandstone. I crept through, and climbed up as the vent went upward. Finally, I reached the edge and I pulled myself up. I figured I was on the main floor now. I saw some holes in the walls. I looked through them, and to my amazement they were peep holes. I had a perfect view of Midna's private study. The judge sat there with a group of people. I listened to their conversation.
"But we can't kill her," a thin woman said. She had a pointy nose, and mousy brown hair. "She's the princess of our land."
"I know that, but she is dangerous." the judge said to her.
"If I may speak up," a voice said from the doorway. A woman stood there. It was Telma, the bar owner in Hyrule Castle Town. She is a beautiful woman. She is slightly plump, but that doesn't make a difference. She is well known throughout Hyrule, and respected by many. Telma and I even chatted every now and then. She was like a mother to me. She was dressed in her usual outfit. A yellow bra, with a grey overcoat, which the buttons stretched on. She had very large breasts. She wore her long skirt too. She was a caramel colour, and her red hair was in corn rolls, which then were tied into a bun on the top of her head. Her usual kind and motherly expression was gone, and replaced with a look of anger. She looked so scary. I looked to my right, and saw a concealed door.
"And you are…?" the judge asked rather rudely, regarding her with a look of disgust.
"I'm Telma," she told him coldly. "If you kill the Princess, the whole country will erupt into rebellion and chaos." she told them. She was leaving off the part that I am a goddess, but then again, maybe she didn't want them to know.
"She is collaborating with the Princess!" a bald man on the jude's right said in a hoarse voice. He drew a gun from his coat. Telma looked scared. I drew a hidden knife from my belt. I kicked the door down, and threw the knife at the man's hand. With a sick accuracy, it flew, impaling the man's hand, knocking the gun out of his hand. Everyone gave me a startled look.
"Zelda?" Telma asked in wonder.
"Stay behind me!" I told her, taking a defensive stance in front of her. My eyes darted from person to person, sizing them up.
"Don't just stand there!" the judge yelled. A large man got up, and started to come at me. I pulled three blades from my belt, and put them in between my knuckles like claws. Then, I flicked my wrist, letting them fly to the centre of his chest, killing him instantly.
"You think you can take me?" I growled. "Damn your whole court! I am the leader of this kingdom!" I yelled, throwing a knife at the thin woman, impaling her in the forehead. The person on the other side of the judge flinched.
"You have no right to rule, you stupid girl! A man should be in charge!" he said angrily.
"Oh, so I see the real problem," I said in a voice of mock understanding. "I'm a woman, so I am incapable of ruling a kingdom…pardon me, a queendom?" I asked him.
"Exactly! We need the firm hand of a man!" he shouted, spit flying from his lips.
"I see…" I said, looking down. Then I looked up and threw another knife, impaling the man next to the judge in the heart. I walked up to the judge quickly, my hips slightly swaying. I pointed a finger at him.
"I should kill you right on the spot, you filthy bastard." I snarled. I walked up to him and smacked him across the face. A look of fear flashed across his face, but was quickly replaced with a snarl.
"You're a woman," he spat. "I'm not afraid of you."
"You should be." I told him threateningly. This man really made me mad.
"And why is that?" he growled, raising an eyebrow. I drew the knife from my bra, and stabbed him right in the chest. He coughed. I took the blade from his body, and left him. Telma beheld me with a look of awe.
"Princess!" she breathlessly said. "I had no idea that you could be so…so fierce! You inspire me!" she told me happily. She walked over to the first person that I killed, and took his gun.
"Haha, Telma. It's great to see you." I told her happily. She smiled at me and winked.
"Let's bust you out, Princess." she said, mischievously. We walked out of the room, all bad-ass like. My hair bounced behind me. People beheld me with a look of fear. Two guards rushed up to us, swords drawn. I pulled both guns out quickly, and shot them. Telma pulled her gun out too. The inhabitants ran in panic. Then we were near the front gates. They were starting to close.
"Run!" I told Telma. We ran for it, and barely passed through the gates, when they banged shut. We took off, running down the streets of the city. The people looked at us with startled looks as we thundered down the main road. We stopped right in our tracks. In front of us, thirty soldiers blocked the way. I looked for another rout.
"Over here!" a voice whispered. Looked to where the voice came from. An old woman stood at the entrance to her house. The old woman held the door open, and we went in. It was cozy and dimly lit. The floors were wooden, which is uncommon out here in this coastal desert city. The house was very spacious. the 40ft tall ceiling gave it a cave like feeling. A golden chandelier hung from the centre of the ceiling. It was decked out with crystals. Red velvet armchairs and couches circled various lounge tables scattered around the lounge. We stood there in shock. This kind lady took two criminals in? There must be more to the story. I examined her. Her grey hair was put in a bun, pulled tight to the back of her head. She wore a simple, black dress. Her brilliant green eyes twinkled mysteriously. She slammed the door behind us.
"They've locked the whole city down." she told us in a grandmotherly voice. She regarded us with warm eyes. "I'm just glad you killed those bastards on the Councils of Judges. They hate anyone who isn't a perfect male." she said bitterly. How did she know? It didn't make sense.
"How do you know that?" Telma asked her suspiciously.
"Ah, you may not recognise me," she sighed, bowing her head. Then, she started to glow. When the glow died down, it was none other than Midna. She looked up and smiled.
"Midna?" I asked suspiciously. "What are you doing here?"
"I've come to help you escape!" she said rather loudly. "If you hadn't have tried to escape before, I would have busted you out." she told me.
"And if you had busted me out," I started. "Telma would be dead!" I told her. She looked down, an ashamed look on her face.
"Shouldn't we be leaving?" Telma spoke up.
"Ah, yes. There is a secret passage in this building." Midna said, walking up to a wall and tapping it with her glowing hands. A teal energy pulsed through the wall in a strange pattern, unique to the Twilight Realm. The wall started to turn to hundreds of black rectangles, which swirled, and then disappeared.
"For some reason, the city is under a lockdown, and I can't even teleport." she told me. "So our safest bet is to take this passage way. It takes you all the way out, and past the gates, and then we can teleport to Hyrule Castle. The Judge somehow lived." she told me quickly.
"What?" I said in disbelief. "I killed that bastard!"
"I just felt it, someone used dark magic to revive him just now." Midna told me. We went through the passage. The walls were black, and the strange designs of the Twilight people pulsed on the walls of the passage, a glowing teal colour. They illuminated the path ahead.
"What is this place?" I asked Midna.
"This is some ancient ruins from the time that my people lived in your realm, so over 700,000 years ago." she explained as we walked. Telma curiously looked at Midna.
"Yea? Well, why is it here?" Telma asked her.
"Before Voluptua existed," Midna started. "this was a city of the Twili. We were known for our magical powers. Our architecture is still apparent in the style of my castle here. I was exploring the castle, when I came upon a room. It looked normal, but I could feel the energy of my people in the times of old. It pulsed throughout the room like a heart beat. It swirled through me like one huge, endless torrent of energy. I shut the door and cast a spell over it, to insure no one would enter.
"Now, if you think I am really powerful, I am nothing compared to my people in the times of old. I started a spell that would reveal any hidden things. When I opened my eyes, it was pulsing like this, except the colour was golden. I had fount a sacred area. What looked like an empty room transformed into a sacred room of worship. Doors were on either side of the Grand Statue of Mother Chaos. I went through them, and discovered an entire system of rooms like them. I found spells long forgotten by the entire universe. Spells that were so wonderful, that they could bring eternal happiness to a person, and spells so horrible, that you could murder an entire army with a single word." she said dramatically as we walked down the path. Finally, we reached a wall.
"Brace yourselves for the light." Midna told us. She touched the wall, which disappeared like the last one.
