Chapter 35-Let the Rain Fall

OMG here's the chapter. It's been a year I'm so sorry but I'm not in the Zelda fandom anymore -.- I mean I am in it I just...don't have the energy? Uh, I've been mostly focusing on my TWEWY stories.

Anway, this is a short, crappy chapter and there is one more to go before this story ends. SO I will TRY to get it up but no promises.

I hope you enjoy the chapter.

I don't own Zelda. ):

Please Read and Review.

Impa's eyes slowly opened before she squinted slightly as the lighting within the Sacred Realm hurt her eyes and gave her a slight headache.

She gradually sat up, her entire body protesting with the movement, staring at her left hand in what could only be called awe.

Link perked up when he noticed the Sheikah moving while Sheik blinked before turning his attention to Zelda who was still arguing with Rauru.

"Zelda."

Zelda stopped in her quarrel with the sage, glancing at Sheik who tilted his head toward Impa.

The blonde princess lit up when she noticed the Sheikah attempting to stand, albeit a bit awkwardly as Impa was getting used to the fact that she now had to move muscle and sinew and it didn't help with her joints cracking with every little movement.

"Impa!"

Impa gave a surprised yelp when she was suddenly tackled in a hug which knocked her onto her back and ruining the progress she had made, an extremely happy Zelda clinging to her waist.

"You're all right!"

The Sheikah flailed slightly as Zelda continued hugging her, a few amused chuckles sounding from several of the sages.

"Y-your Grace!"

Zelda pulled back, crossing her arms as she sat on Impa's hips, puffing out her cheeks childishly.

The Sheikah immediately became humble, looking down as she realized that Zelda didn't want to call her 'Your Grace' anymore.

"…Z-Zelda…."

Zelda beamed at Impa's pronunciation of her name, becoming irritated when Rauru grabbed her arm and dragged her off Impa and to her feet.

"Do you realize that what you've done is wrong and forbidden?"

Impa glanced down when she realized she was holding something in her right hand, slowly opening her fingers to reveal a dark stone carved into the shape of wings.

The Sheikah frowned slightly as she stared at the stone, which was attached to a thin string, rubbing the smooth surface with her thumb.

A Time Shift stone?

Impa tapped the stone on the floor, not at all surprised when it failed to activate.

A dud.

Impa stared at the stone for a second longer before putting it in her pocket; there must have been a reason Hylia had given it to her and as such was going to take extreme care in protecting it.

"But it worked!" Zelda protested as Rauru tried to continue explaining the error in her ways.

"What if it hadn't?" Rauru prompted. "Do you even know what ReDeads are?"

"Yeah. They're monsters."

"Not entirely. ReDeads are the product of failed resurrections."

Zelda glanced over at Impa to see her attempting to stand up again, Sheik aiding her gently. She couldn't imagine Impa as a ReDead—a monster that she would probably have to kill before it killed her.

Rauru seemed to understand Zelda's train of thought. "You could have transformed her into a ReDead."

Zelda glared at Rauru, becoming frustrated with him. "Yeah, well it worked, so lay off it, gramps."

Rauru gave a surprised snort at the fact that Zelda had just called him 'gramps'.

Link watched Sheik and Impa before he snapped his fingers and began rummaging through his pack, muttering, "I bet a red potion will help."

The Hylian began taking things out of his pack, muttering "Nope" whenever it wasn't what he was looking for.

Longshot.

"Nope."

Master Sword.

"Nope."

Hylian Shield.

"Nope."

Fairy bottle.

"Nope."

Link realized a second too late after he had tossed the bottle behind him—like he had done with everything else other than the Master Sword and Hylian Shield (which had been placed very gently by his side)—that a fairy could also help.

"No!" Link yelped, hopping to his feet as the bottle hit the ground and shattered.

"Freedom!" the fairy squeaked, happily flying into the air. "Freedom!"

"No, Mr. Fairy!" Link said, chasing after the fairy and attempting to grab it. "Come back!"

"See you later, sucker!"

Link gave a soft whine as the fairy disappeared, everyone else staring at where the fairy had gone, before glancing at Link who sullenly went back to his pack to continue his search for a red potion.

A fairy and a bottle down.

Slingshot.

"Nope."

Boomerang.

"Nope."

Eye of Truth.

"Nope."

Red potion.

"No—"

Link was faster in noticing the bottle of thrown red potion, chasing after it and managing to catch it before it fell over the edge of the platform and into oblivion.

He triumphantly held it up for everyone to see, turning on his back.

"Got it!"

Impa looked up when she heard the blond approach, looking slightly surprised when he held out the bottle to her.

"Here. This should help with the aches and pains."

Impa stared at the red potion for several seconds before gradually taking it, humbled by the hero's kindness.

"Thank you."

Link grinned, obviously pleased with himself as Impa drank a bit of the healing potion, the Sheikah's body instantly relaxing when the tonic took effect.

Rauru sighed, completely giving up in explaining Zelda's error, silently deciding that her decision may have been a bit half-assed with no thought for possible consequences, but her heart had been in the right place nonetheless.

Aunt Impa quietly observed her ancestor, watching the thin Sheikah interact with Zelda. She smiled slightly.

So that was the nature of their relationship.

Impa looked up as Aunt Impa approached her, half of her tensing at the sight of seeing her predecessor.

This was the Impa that had taken care of Zelda when she had been a child.

Just before she could bow to show her respect, Aunt Impa placed a hand on her shoulder with a faint smile.

"I give you my blessing."

Impa looked faintly surprised, not sure what exactly the older Sheikah meant by that, but Zelda looked ecstatic as she tackled Aunt Impa in a hug.

"Thank you, Aunt Impa!"

The group stepped outside after everything in the Sacred Realm had been said and done, Zelda making sure to stick close to Impa, even going so far as to lightly hold onto the Sheikah's hand.

Impa looked at her arm when she felt something wet land on it before looking up at the gray sky as more drops started to fall.

"It's raining." Link said as the drops of rain soon turned into a drizzle.

Sheik gave a grumble at the rain, covering his head with his hands.

Impa looked at her arm, watching the clear raindrops sliding off her skin and drip from her fingertips, feeling the faint coldness that the rain held.

She had almost forgotten what it meant to feel the rain.

I told you it was short. Sorry. But I got it done, right? That counts. Anyway, if you guys like TWEWY (particularly JoshNeku) you should check out my TWEWY stories. :3

Anywhoo, remember to read and review and hopefully I will see you in the final chapter soon~ :3
