"You can't leave me!" Link snapped. "I just lost Midna, I can't loose you too!"

I sighed, why didn't Link understand this? "Link, listen to me for a moment. I need to go back to Cateline for a little bit. I have to mend ties with my family-"

"But, Axel and Kain came to your eighteenth birthday." Link pointed out to me.

"You're forgetting about Kina, and Sasha, and Nana." I replied.

"Okay, you're right." He relented, "But still-!"

"No buts, Link!" I cried. "I need to see if I can make amends with my family, and I've realized something."

"What?" Zelda asked.

"I've realized that no matter how long I've lived in Cateline, I've never been around, and I know very little about my homeland. Don't you know a lot about Hyrule, Your Majesty?"

"Let her go, Link. You don't know what it's like, it's confusing. People of high status have a different mindset than those like you."

"What are you saying?"

"Link, you appreciate the simple things in life."

"And I do too!" I interjected, wanting to be put apart from normal rich snobs.

"But we've grown up with fine things, and completely different education. We've been trained to want to know much, Link. She's just acting on her nobility instinct, or perhaps the primal instinct, that one must know the terrain. It could be either."

"But why do you have to go now?!" He whined at me.

"Because if I don't, there's a chance that my family won't forgive me for what I did!" I screamed, finally at my breaking point.

"What did you do?"

"Nana wanted to put me in an arranged marriage, but I would have none of it, so instead of doing what she wanted, I went off to save Hyrule with you and Midna."

"I don't know whether or not to feel relieved of upset." Link muttered.

"Try relieved." I replied. "It's so much easier than being upset."

.~:*:~.

My hand quivered, but I took a deep breath, and opened the door. "Nana, I'm back."

"Good!" She clapped her hands, and started speaking rapidly. "I've been looking around town and I've compiled a list of boys of marriageable age that I think you would work well with. They're only from Legacy. However, if none of them are good for you, we can start expanded out horizons to different towns, and perhaps dip into court. . What do you think?"

I looked over the list. "No."

"No as in you don't feel that a marriage between any of those men would work, or-"

"I mean 'no, I'm not getting into an arranged marriage.' Nana, I'm an adult now; you can't tell me what to do. I live my own life now." Placing the parchment on the desk, I turned around and started to leave the room.

I swallowed, paused, and said the most horrid thing she had ever heard. "Besides, you're not my Mother.

"I don't have one."


Now my dad is sick, and I warned the old fart, but he's all 'nah'. What did I tell him?!

So, update, Ely is leaving Link. She's gonna go travel around Cateline, but first she has to go get her family to forgive her. Too bad that didn't work out to well. . . she ends up insulting the woman who raised her, but nothing is known about Kain, Axel, Sasha, and Kina. Ely didn't see them. Again, I'm sorry it's really short but I thought that the ending I have was a good one.
