Okay it has been awhile, Happy New Year everybody! But I don't own Zelda.

First the reason why I missed my updates was, my internet-Imar I feel the same buddy, work-it's evil, now I'm sick but recovering, the Christmas holiday- other side of family came and I didn't expect them, life, my computer lost the chapter I had done, and my outline for what happens, I sprained my wrist-it's better now, and an 8 mouth old puppy.

But on a HAPPY NOTE my computer is working, I had alot of fun redoing the plot line, I don't have to work for a few days, I had fun hanging out with my family, my internet is working, I really like these chapters, I can move my wrist, and my puppy is adorable and has been adjusting.

So without futher adiu, I have 133 reviews!

Imar3607- I used Twinrova, but a little differntly. I wish you luck with your writing. I did use a cliffhanger several I think, but I have the chapters as one so it's not to horriable. Hope you like, and Anime Wildfire is not writing so much anymore, she's quiet busy.

Could be better- I am planning on redoing those. But your point is valid.

Link-the-Lightbringer-I am soo happy! 3 reviews! Nice long chapter for you! You like?

YoungJustice4ever- Zeke was taken yes, no I didn't put it in. I thought that Zeke wouldn't understand what was going on, and since I did not want to deal with an entire escape from the castle where Brayl was actualy competent... I also thought it would be more dramatic if Zeke was thinking about it, and I did not have Zeke being old enough. Sheiku only guards Zeke when he's introduced, but then again he could have allowed Zeke to be captured to get Brayl, but the real reason is that Sheiku wasn't charged with guarding Zeke just yet. Also reguarding Zeke's parentage, Leia is Link and Zelda's daughter. Zeke is not exactly Link's son. It's part of my big reveal. But Zeke looks exactly like Link, hence people reguard Zeke as his son. And please don't swear. Also second review, Link was out with the Sheikah. Yes Impa did try to kill herself- it's tied into the honor code thing and she was very upset at Zelda being taken. No Impa was the castle when she did that. Impa was holding poison. Giggle and yes Aden did jump up to the window. Trained Sheikah have ablites that border on superhuman, and he's quiet advanced in his training.

Nice loong chapters,

Dylan stared down the stairs to the dungeon. Pausing at the feeling of the hair on the back of his neck rising. Then he frowned as it vanished.

Dylan turned the last corner, and came face to face with a disheveled man.

While it appeared he had been mistreated, starved and relatively in one of the worse possible cells by the way he had been complaining to the guards, Brayl in fact did have food, that he refused to eat, it was perfectly eatable if not a bit bland. He had not been mistreated, yet, with the exception of bodily forcing him into the cell. And the cell he was in as far as cells went was roomy enough to move about in, wasn't so short that the im-prisnenee had to scrunch down, or filled with any animal that might attack it's occupant when said occupant tried to sleep.

Nor was the cell particularly drafty enough to give him a chill, or hypothermia.

In Dylan's opinion the cell was to good for him.

When Dylan glanced about, several of the guards who had locked themselves in several other cells stood at attention and saluted him. Dylan nodded, before turning to two of the 'guarding guards'. With a hint of a smile, "Take these criminals out, so that they may further enjoy the, hospitality of the dungeons."

A round a sinkers and snorts erupted from the guards.

The guard snapped to attention, "At once sir." He 'unlocked' making a big show of course, the cell doors. Before marching the 'prisoners' away.

"Do you need anything else sir?" The guard asked urbanely.

Dylan shook his head. Noticing the uneasiness of the remain guard. Dylan turned, "You can deal with these unruly bunch of prisoners. Take them for a bit of a run, and then bring them to the audience chamber." He paused deliberately, projecting his voice, "Her Majesty Leia-" Bryal shrieked then started raving, " -will preside over the hearing."

The guard fought to keep the smile off his face but failed, "All right then you lot, you heard the caption!" They marched away, looking appropriately sullen but exchanging gleeful glances, and congratulations to each other.

The other guard almost moved past but Dylan clapped his hand on the man's shoulder. "Ho there friend. I can see you are a little uneasy. Did you want to tell me something?"

He shifted. "Sir, his majesty, I mean- Brayl, he was rambling on about being divinely touched. I-I am uncertain if we should harm him. My loyalty to the Queen herself is absolute but. Is their not a way to spare his life? To execute or imprison a person touched by the gods." He trailed off.

Dylan snorted, "Son, the only thing that 'touched' him, was a bat of craziness. You are a bit young to remember the hero of time. But I assure you, if he had taken the throne we'd all be better off."

"But he was talking and he knew things he wasn't suppose to know."

"Like what?" Dylan scoffed, "It's nothing that he would not have overheard. You forget he has been in the palace, and people tend to give away more information then they think."

The guard did not look quite convinced. His left hand closing around a crystal, "If you think so sir."

Dylan paused, something seemed a little off about this guard. He made a mental not to ask Impa about it later. Currently he had to focus on Brayl.

Brayl looked worse for wear, his clothes were slightly singed after he was brought from the mines of the gorons. Dylan leaned closer, as the feeling grew. He suddenly stared when Brayl moved his head slightly, their was a crystal in Brayl's ear. Slightly hidden beneath his greasy locks.

Dylan breathed, "Twinova."

The guard went ridged.

Brayl let out a chilly laugh, "Clearly you are the one who has gone insane if you think such a guard could possibly contain me."

Dylan's eyes narrowed, that was not the normal speech pattern that Brayl spoke in.

Dylan's tone was frosty, "You are Twinova. How did you come to stoop to possess a foreign prince?" How long have you possessed him for? Dylan wanted to ask, but knew if he asked more then one question Twinova would be unable to answer his question.

When someone identified a possessed person they got the opportunity to ask questions, the more questions they failed to answer the more they became unable to leave the body they had possessed. Twinova to Dylan's knowledge had nothing to gain from becoming a permanent fixture in Brayl's mind. If anything the thought revolted them, hopefully enough to answer truthfully, but then again, that fell into weather Dylan believed it to be true.

Brayl's mouth turned into a hideous grin, "Long enough we have held his mind. To answer your question directly, we were ordered to do so. We must say, this body proved a tad difficult to control for a time. Kept entertaining ideas of killing that little girl." The grin turned vicious, "Loose our control over this mind and rest assured he will attack with intent to kill that little girl. You know this as we do."

Dylan glared, "As if he could escape me or this cell."

The smile turned sardonic, "You think this one wouldn't do so? His soul has long been blackened before you sighted him."

Dylan gave a sharp bark, "Oh ho ho! That is rich coming from two of the most powerful black magic users!"

Bryals face twisted into a face he couldn't identify, "Don't be so sure. One can use magic without becoming corrupted by it."

"And you haven't?"

"To our knowledge no."

"Well then." Dylan grinned viciously, "I'll just have to make sure he doesn't receive any more help from you. Particularly in his arena of escape."

Brayl's face filled with fear, "Don't, NO!" But Dylan had already reached in and pulled the crystal from Brayl's ear, shattering it.

"What have you done! You have no idea what you have done!" Brayl wailed.

"Saved the princess." Dylan stated calmly, then he felt his mind go black.

"No," The guards voiced rasped, "You have condemned her, and once I've tasted her sweet flesh," their was a dark chuckle that filled Dylan with fear.

"I'm sure you can guess what I'll do, especially after I track down her mother."

Dylan could do nothing as an icy hand grabbed his head, desperately he fought to hold him off, but the task was monumental. "Ah, you've let your little darklings leave. Only two remain, and not even full shadows. Perhaps I shall train the girl shadow myself shall I?"

Dylan felt fear as he had never felt before. He would not allow this thing to lay a hand on Jade, or anyone.

"The girl darkling has a name?" It questioned amused, "Females need no name."

Dylan felt his rage increase at the slander.

"As if your skill could do anything about me." It hisses sounding pleased with the effort Dylan was succeeding with. "Your attention was on the little man, not where it should have been, on the guard."

With a grating hiss, Dylan register Brayl's cell door opening. Taking his chance with the being distracted, Dylan brought up his short dagger always hidden in his doublet then stabbed under the guards ribs. Dylan heard the scream of pain, then watched at nerveless fingers dropped the crystal, witch shattered on the stone floor.

"That move will not save your little darkling from me." It hisses into Dylan's ear before he felt himself fall unconscious, "I have enough influence over this body to do my deeds."

Dylan felt the stone's chill seep into his bones. His last thought was "Hear me, My Lord, save them!"


Impaz knew her adherence to habit would always be her undoing. But this time it honestly wasn't her fault, the entire group had left before she was able to join them. Also Sheik's 'training' was to blame. She just took a little time out to stretch her muscles. That scent a pang through her, it showed just how far she still had to go.

After running about for a minute she noticed several guards lounging in the gardens. Impaz frowned; that made no sense. They were the guards who were in the dungeon recently. Either they escaped or something else was afoot.

One of the spotted her and waved her over.

"Hello little lady."

Impaz smelled the alcohol on his breath, "You are drunk." It was a statment.

His vapid expression smiled, "I suppose I'm that. Elsewise we'd all'd drank a goodly protion fer no reason."

Count to three.

"Can you tell me where you came from?"

"Oh yes marm, just over there. Dylan wanted ta talk with Brayl, so we'd decided ta celebrate fer him."

Impaz's brow furrowed, "Dylan is still talking to Brayl? It shouldn't be taking this long."

"I don't knows."

Impaz glared, "And yet you celebrate like a simple solider, no wonder you haven't been promoted."

"I gots it all don last week marm."

"I can tell." Impaz said dryly, "I will leave you to celebrating."

Impaz trudged over to the hidden section that housed the dungeon. Brain whirring at reasons why Dylan still had not resurfaced.

Impaz froze midstep when she heard Dylan's lethal tone of "Twinova."

Impaz mind whirred, recalling the lessons she had learned, Twinova was a codename for someone the Sheikah had never actually pinned down. Last she heard Twinova was nursing her injury. Obviously it must have healed.

Impaz chastised herself for failing to listen to the conversation. It would do her no good if Dylan called her and she'd missed her que. It was a bit hard completely make out every word, it was tempting to get closer but knowing her clumsiness both would spot her if she tried.

The next part was something along the lines of a verbal joust, testing to see what the other knew or did not.

It was clear that Brayl had not been under his own influence the entire time he had been at the palace. Of course that would hardly surprise any Sheikah. He might have fooled them once or twice, and kept the Sheikah away, but that took to much skill for him to have learned from his backwater diseased little plot.

"Kept entertaining ideas of killing that little girl."

Impaz's ears turned up at that, this Twinova didn't want to attack Leia? Impaz frowned, then who was her target? Why would she spend a good decade controlling a princeling?

"Lose our control over this mind and rest assured he will attack with intent to kill that little girl. You know this as we do."

Easy enough, Brayl would want to kill Leia possessed or not given half the chance.

Impaz frowned as Dylan became more prideful, was he underestimating Twinova? It felt like she was missing something. Dylan should have removed himself until he could calm, instead he was, enjoying goading Twinova.

"Don't, NO!"

Impaz leaned forward, what happened? Then she heard something shatter.

"What have you done! You have no idea what you have done!" Brayl wailed.

"Saved the princess." Dylan stated. Impaz felt a chill creep up her spine.

Then she heard guttural hissing, reminiscent of a man choking, gasping for air. Her feet took her away before she realized it. Then she put her mind to the task of running, what ever it was, it clearly could effect Dylan's judgment. She was clearly no match. But at the very least, she jumped towards the open window. Barely registering shocked looks or exclamations of surprise from the few servants inside. Impaz bolted past skidding past an open door with Jackson's face pocking out.

Impaz sped back, "We have to get them out! Something is coming!"

Jackson blinked.

Impaz was suddenly acutely aware of the seconds as they ticked by. Jackson vanished then appeared as he was hauling Leia over his shoulder.

Leia didn't have time to protest.

"Where is-" Impaz whirled. Jade held Zeke in her arms. He also looked frightened.

"Good."

Jade asked looking around furtively, "Where do we go? No one else is here but us!" She was on the verge of panic.

Impaz felt the need to squash the hysteria before it infected Jade, or she suspected was far more likely herself first. It happened to Zeke first as he let out a wail. Impaz promptly plucked the boy away from the source. He looked up fearfully, Impaz pointed her finger at him threating, "Don't you dare cry."

Zeke fell quiet.

Impaz then glared at Jade and as predicted she was quailing before her gaze.

"Neither room is safe. We can't get out. So we go to Queens apartments!" Impaz stated.

All three were off running. Jade reached it first yanking the door open, while Jackson and Impaz flew inside.

Impaz glanced around first spotting the bed, it was made perfectly without a wrinkle in the sheets. That didn't last long. With a free hand Impaz snacked away the coverlet it lay in a heap, clinging barely at the end where it was still tucked in due to a maid's diligence. Impaz sat Zeke on the bed, but her free hand was already bundling sheets around him.

He would have protested his lack over vision, the sheets covered him entirely. He was cocooned in seconds before he had time to register being picked up and set back down. It got slightly darker as another thick comforter was added above him. The springy bed provided him with a temporary warm safe haven.

He heard scuffling as the others moved around.

"Zeke, listen to me." Impaz's voice was urgent, and strained. "Whatever you do, or what ever you hear, you stay. You got me. Stay underthe blankets, and no one will notice you."

Zeke nodded. But he was sure she couldn't see the movement. All he knew was fear and blankets. The scent of his mother on the mattress calmed him somewhat enough to understand.

Zeke held onto her voice, "Don't scream and don't move, until Impa comes and gets you. Okay? Impa's going to come get you, you stay."

Zeke close his eyes tightly. Wishing for his mother.


Leia was walking across the room, and the next second she was over Jackson's shoulder. She tried to push herself up, only to have her face nearly collide with Jackson's back when he started running.

When did Jackson develop muscles?

She felt her face flush. The regained her natural coloring. She recognized the room they had barged into, it was her mothers'. Before she got a look around, Jackson had set her on her feet before bolting to help Jade close the heavy door.

Leia noticed a pile of wadded up blankets on her mother's bed that Impaz was talking to. Impaz jumped over to where she was before tugging her along. Impaz went still at the same time as she turned towards the door.

Jackson had thrown himself against it, but it was obvious he couldn't hold it.

Impaz released Leia and jumped over adding her body weight, she gritted, "I can hold it for a while. Get her out of here!"

Jackson stared then flung himself back to the door, "Then I can double that time."

Impaz opened her mouth, but Jade yanked hard on his arms, saying, "The princess comes first."

Jackson swallowed hard. Then they both bolted to Leia, each taking an arm as they ushered her away from the door

Leia felt a little light headed, but when she opened her eyes, Jade had opened a window and clean air came in, wafting away the stale smell she had not realized.

Jackson ushered her closer, "Can we get her down?"

Jade looked slightly sick, "It's to high. Impaz might but, we couldn't even without Leia."

Jackson looked stricken, "What are we gonna do!"

Jade whirled, "Help me find another window!"

"There is one in the connecting room." Leia pointed out. The one that had the picture of her mother and Link. "Right, show us." Jade stated.

Leia took a deep breath by the window and raced over to where she knew the door was, behind the bookcase. She pulled out the book, and it swung open. Flinging the door open she raced inside, Jade and Jackson behind her. Jackson paused long enough to pull the door closed, locking it. Leia breathed deeply feeling safe.

Jade turned, "Looks like that poison didn't get in here."

Jackson tossed a slight grin, "We did it."

They heard a scream, and then the other door slammed, then cursing.

Leia frowned at the door, her blood freezing in her veins, "It's not over yet."

The sounds of a fight erupted. Then silence.

A man's voice was muffled, "Give her the antidote. I want her to see her hopelessness."

"She's the one we want?"

"Not her, you toady. I want the other one. The princess." His voice underplayed his villainy.

"You promised her life was mine!"

Leia identified the second man's voice it was Brayl.

"Don't tempt your fate. You have already failed numerous times when even I could have easily killed her, but you never had the stomach for it." His tone was dark, inlaid with scorn. His next sentence came as a surprise, "Looks like the mouse escaped to her tunnel." Leia nearly fainted at the amused tone.

The knob turned, then rattled the person on the other side attempting entrance.

"Oh, I feel your fear, princess." Came the smooth drawl, "Quiet delicious, it strengths me. So." His tone turned persuasive, "Why don't you open this door, and I'll let your friend go? She's a bit loopy from my special poison, I just want to see how you escaped it's effects." He paused, Leia heard a grunt, then a moan. It was female.

"As you can hear my dear, she's coming around already so it's nothing too permanent."

Leia felt her throat close, if they could escape she'd go.

Jackson grabbed her wrist, shaking his head 'no'.

"Let me guess your Sheikah is doing his heroic sacrifice? I see no reason why you both can't just die together then!" He yelled. "Time to set the fire!"

Leia stared as small flames started liking the bottom of the door. But the flames were black.

"Black magic." Jackson growled.

"Oh, excellently identified darkling, but identifying your doom doesn't mean you can escape it!" His laugh was the sound of a madman.

Once the flames consumed the door, the wall of fire would get closer until it burned them alive.

Jade's eyes narrowed, "No one can get across that right?"

Jackson nodded.

Jade bolted towards the shuttered window, Leia a close second. Sunlight peered through as Jade peered out the window, "Yes!" She triumphed. She whirled, "It's not too far! We can make it!"

Jackson let out a yell. Both whirled, as Jackson dropped. A gold-eyed green skinned human man stood revealed when Jackson fell.

His grin was horrifying, "Looks like your little plan to escape my inferno worked. Yet." His eyes took on a more blood-curdling gleam; "I do so rather prefer to feel you take your last breath when I have my hands about your throat."

His hand's rose as he reached for Leia, a flash of metal, then he let out a wheeze. Leia just stared mind uncomprehending, as Impaz with drew the dagger and plunged it back into his throat. He let out a hideous gurgling sound that Leia was certain she'd have nightmares from.

He staggered then collapsed. Dead.

Jade and Leia stared as Impaz struggled to remain standing.

A blur of movement, Impaz was shoved back down the stairs toward the consuming flames. Leia stared as the knife was no longer in Impaz's hand. She gaze rose it was in Brayl's. One look at his eyes and it was clear he was insane. He moved before either of them could, banging the pommel on Jade's head, she dropped then, and as a horrifying continuation he reached and his hands closed about Leia's neck.


Survival reflexes kicked in, Leia screamed, becoming dead weight as she kicked, clawed, punched, as he used his upper body strength to forcibly despite her frantic effort to push her further toward the window. She felt another scream from her as his fist closed on her shoulder. She was momentarily dazed, and he wasted little time in attempting to push the rest of her out.

She felt the impact as Bryal was run into. Jackson heaved, sucking in breathed as he pulled her in. Leia clung to him.

In that moment of distraction Bryal barreled forward and shoved both out the window.


Jade saw what he intended and hurled herself out of the window holding on to Brayl. Her grip loosened as she felt gravity and the wind. But Brayl had other ideas, he held her beneath him

Jade felt liquid then nothing as she blacked out when her head hit the bottom of the cement moat.


During the fall Jackson angled himself under Leia to make most of the impact of the fall. Fortunately Jade had been right, they had landed in the moat. Jackson held still a moment, then kicked up to the surface. Leia took in a gasping breath.

Then she pulled herself to the shallow waters and stood, shivering. She looked back, and her eyes widened, he heard her scream, then he felt impact on his head. then he lost conciseness once more.

He was really starting to resent sneak attacks and unwilling sleep.


It wasn't possible, it couldn't be possible. Leia's mind refused to accept that Bryal was still alive.

She tried to run but couldn't.

He grinned at her helplessness, "That would be the effect of my masters' poison. Not that you are going to live long enough for it to take full effect, as pleasurable as that might to watch." He grabbed her hair, pain exploded in her skull, as he dragged her back to the water. "No, I'm going to have the pleasure of ending you, and so ending your baseborn father's attempt to take what's mine, permanently." He grinned, "With your death I may start anew. Everything will be perfect."

He pushed her head under, Leia fought against screaming, Pretend I'm dead!

She struggled lightly for a few seconds then lay still. But Brayl refused to haul her up. She waited an interminable amount of time. She was blind spots cloud her vision. Stay calm. She ordered herself, and she hear Brayl's delighted laugher, suddenly she couldn't remain still any longer, her lungs screamed, and panic took away all thought and reason.

She fought, she struggled, yet still the hand kept her down. She sucked in water, lungs desperate. She summoned her last reserves of strength in her final efforts for her very life.

Then she heard a snapping sound, and Brayl scream, then a crunch and tearing but she couldn't move. Then she was jerked into air so fast her head was spinning. But her throat burned, and her lungs took in great gulps of air.

When she opened her eyes, when had she closed them strangely dressed Sheikah statues were about in the courtyard.

One of the statues suddenly moved, Leia felt terrified. Arms squeezed reassuringly. Leia blinked, Arms? She looked down only to have the world spin as the arms picked her up.

Leia looked around, not comprehending the weirdly dressed, prehaps they were abnormal Sheikah? Nor understanding the apparent deference they held for her.

As the man moved Leia saw Brayl's hunched body, and the water around him turn a pinkish color. The man murmured something, and Leia shook her head trying to hear the words.

A sound echoed and Leia glanced up, to see the Sheikah turn into black squares that grew smaller then vaulted with incredible speed upwards toward a black hole in the sky. Leia's eyes fixed on it, was it a black hole outlined with blue?

Suddenly a prickly sensation rose along she exposed skin, with realizing horror see stared disbelieving as the man's legs became black, and then into squares. It was fascinating, until she noticed that her own lower body had started to turn black she screamed, but her throat was still raw, and she could do nothing as she watched her body vanish.

Dun Dun Dunnnn. So what do you think? Nice and long. Six chapters it could have been too. So did you think I got everyone right? Tell me what you think or what you think I did well on.

Go on and hit the nice butten.
