The Fate of the First Hero of Light
Finally after many struggles we were able to overcome the time merger.
Seeing as the present timeline, was our past's future.
We have adjusted, like if you could move three blocks the first block, the timeline where Zelda almost killed herself and fled the country, the second block, being the time where we have merged and are staying now and the third block, where we stopped the disasters from destroying the country and went on many adventures.
As we are living in the second block it means that third block who would have been our future has now been put behind our block. The "future" is now our past experiences.
As we can now move forwards making new memories and experiences. We can assume there should be no further worries...
"NO, FURTHER WORRIES!?"
"Who said that?"
"It is me Geir!"
"Zelda! Could you read my mind?"
"ARE YOU INSANE! YOU WERE TALKING ALOUD!" screams a purple faced Zelda.
"Oh, I see. What did you hear?"
"EVERYTHING!" Geir takes in his surroundings. He is in the throne many people are gathered inside. They are furious all of them are glaring at him.
"WHERE IS BHELEM?" screams Zelda.
"I do not need to answer."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?"
"You heard me." says Geir.
"GEIRRRRRR..." Zelda feels she might rupture an artery.
"Your Highness please let us be calm." the Fire Mage is still furious but less so.
"SIR IZDRYN! You are right, give me some moments."
Zelda walks into a room, sounds can be heard of many furnishings and pottery being destroyed in the room.
Zelda returns.
"Why are you so upset?"
"Geir where is Bhelem?" asks Zelda.
"You already know where."
"I sent a search party they could not find him."
"ZELDA WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO!" speaks Geir.
"Geir if you are going to speak of balances, then keep your mouth shut. This Bhelem has ruined so many lives with his recklessness he will be tried and executed."
"Tried?"
"Yes, the people demand justice. As I am the Queen I will give it to them."
"Zelda Bhelem is not the cause of this..."
"THAT IS NOT FOR YOU TO DECIDE! I AM THE RULER OF HYRULE YOU WILL COMPLY!"
"Oh, I see, very well I am the ruler of the Tulok country. Send an emissary with a formal..."
"YOU WONT RUN AWAY THIS TIME! EVERYONE IS ANGRY!"
"Angry?" asks a confused Geir.
"YES!" The many people in the throne room are furious.
"WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER!?" "WHAT ABOUT MY HOUSE?" "I WORKED SO HARD!" "GIVE IT BACK TO US!" "I WAS HEALED!"
Geir turns to move, an elderly woman grabs him.
"King Geir you would not abandon me when you were the ruler. Why are you doing it now?"
Geir turns to face them.
"What do you want from me?"
"WE WANT ANSWERS!"
"I understand, listen very closely." Geir explains in the finest of details of the Dwarven realm's catastrophes, the broken worlds, the realms that are merging and many others.
"Geir we want answers. Not fables and lies!" "Yes, why are you lying to us?"
"It is the truth, Zelda can confirm some of what I said herself."
"Your Highness can it really be true?" ask the people.
"..."
"Queen Zelda?"
"Geir bring Bhelem or there will be war." says Zelda with a look of absolute resolution.
Zelda's throne is missing the top part where her head was. The head of the clay doll that was seated on the throne lays crumbling on the wall.
Zelda's decapitated golem doppelganger jumps and grabs Geir with force.
Geir want to extend his arm to form a lighting spear.
A silver flash and a rusted blade.
The Knight swings harder than he ever has, even when he decapitated the earth dragon, did he not use such force. The blade hits an object so hard, he feels the vibration of the impact going through the blade, the pain in his hands is immense.
Geir did not have time to make a lighting spear, as he had to block the swing.
The clay doll grasping him has almost been frozen completely, he will break it soon.
The Fire Mage uses almost all of his magics. He casts the same type of flames that the curse on Geir's right arm produces. Over many times he has tried to master the black flames. When Geir would use them by mistake or if he would become enraged and lose control. He would take only the smallest of a flicker. Keeping the flame alight by using his own magics.
He trained for many mooncycles to control and form them. The black flames reach Geir.
The Fire Mage knows what will happen now. The black flames activate the curse on Geir's right arm. The searing pain that the curse causes when flowing through the right side of his body.
He hesitates for only the smallest of an instance.
Zelda has her daggers drawn she moves for a strike, the same that the assassins of the yellow oak guild uses, she forced them to teach her.
"ENOUGH!" The whole room is frozen.
"I WILL KILL EVERYONE HERE!"
Zelda smiles she uses the spell Aunt Hurmhilda was forced to teach her. The ice becomes brittles and changes into foam.
Everybody falls to the floor.
"Your Highness it was just as you said. He would not hesitate to kill you or us if the need arose."
"As the people of the land we ask for protection Your Highness from Geir the Butcher."
Geir starts laughing.
"What is so funny Geir?"
"Finally after all these suncycles, I get to see you as the enemies you are."
"What do you mean "enemies"? You are our..."
"Is "our" the word you want to use. You have always been my enemy."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN FIEND?"
"Hunfrey in a thousand suncycles you would never understand."
"WHY YOU!" The Knight wants to strike but his hands cannot close properly. The damage taken from hitting the crystal stunning him temporarily.
"I am done here." Geir turns around to leave.
"Do not think you will have the chance to leave. KNIGHTS!" screams an enraged Zelda.
The room fills to the brim with armoured Knights their weapons are drawn.
Their armours look the same as when Geir faced Minister Dafor's soldiers. They have a second armour underneath the ones they are already wearing, they have boots with metal claws on them, they cannot slip on ice, and they are wearing cloaks which are covered be special type of salt.
"You even perfected the armour. I can feel those crystals will not freeze in the time needed for me to kill everyone."
"Yes I have been planning this for many suncycles." says the smirking Zelda.
"I see even when we first met. I knew I could never trust you." says a Geir staring at Zelda.
"What do you mean Geir trust us?"
"I also prepared for this day."
"WHAT ARE YOU SPOUTING NOW FOOL! YOU ARE FINISHED FOUL BEAST!"
"Sir Hunfrey we are already dead." speaks an unknown voice.
"WHO SAID THAT?!"
"It is me Gerrick Oaths."
"WHAT ARE YOU SAYING FOOL, YOU ARE ONE OF HIS ACCOMPLICES. I HAVE SEEN YOU TOGETHER MANY TIM..."
BAM
The Knight hits the back wall, the wall has a large crack reaching the roof. His armour is bent he cannot move his limbs properly. He wants to stand up but falls on his hands and knees. He is coughing up massive amounts of blood.
"Watch what you say Hammerspine! He would never betray the Kingdom or Zelda under any circumstance. From this day forward, I am his enemy."
"SIR HUNFREY!" Zelda is screaming.
"Zelda choose do you want to die now or later."
"..." Zelda's eyes are wide open, she has taken a defensive stance.
"I understand I will make it painless." Geir's runes activate again. The right sleeve of his bloodied parka is burnt off in an instant. He moves towards Zelda preparing to grab her by the head.
"ATTACK HIM! PROTECT THE QUEEN!" screams Sir Bartel. They close the distance between him and the Queen. Sir Renferd picks up the Queen and jumps out from the 10th floor of the Castle.
"Shit!" Geir moves to exit the room, through the window.
Sir Bartel throws a crystal dust into Geir's eyes.
The magical dust reacts to his bodies unique life energies, it congeals forming a lens over his eyes, first blocking then distorting his vision.
Sir Gerrick is behind him he takes the woven magical sack, which Geir taught him how to make, over his head.
All Geir's sense are blocked off.
Geir prepares to defend...
He waits for a small instance, the attacks do not come. He removes the bag the throne room is empty.
The doors are closed.
Geir is thinking.
This is the absolute worst day of my whole life!
Not only is the whole country going to hate me now. I did not even get to kill Zelda in the end! If anybody else took her I could find her in a heartbeat, but it is Sir Renferd. Even if she is next to me I wont be able to recognize her, with him hiding her. Sir Bartel will be stalking my every move. Waiting for a chance to kill, I might not be able to make it out alive.
Gerrick is organizing the Knights and spreading the misinformation. Most likely that I had killed Zelda. They will hide her, till I have been killed. Then say luckily she was saved from the grave injuries I had inflicted on her or some other nonsense.
Even if it was the whole countries army facing me I could kill them.
But now that I face my best friends, my chances are slim. They had the same teacher as mine war and conflict.
Is there anything that I can do?
I KNOW!
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE CANNOT KILL HIM?" screams the crowds outside of House Dominitus, they are wielding farm implements while holding flaming debris.
The House Dominitus's spokes person addresses them.
"It is sovereign immunity."
"WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!"
"Sovereign immunity, or crown immunity, is a legal doctrine whereby a sovereign or state cannot commit a legal wrong and is immune from civil suit or criminal prosecution, strictly speaking in modern texts in its own courts. A similar..."
The legal term is explained extensively and in full.
After many times.
The crowd of murderous people's hands have become numb and weary, all the farm implements have been dropped. The flaming debris have either burnt out, or is burning so closely to the murderous peoples hands they let them fall or are extinguished.
"But he is not the King anymore!" "Yes!" "That is true!"
"Well what you see, that is when the term..."
"SHUT UP!"
The murderous crowd is almost not murderous anymore.
"We give up." "Yes, let us leave."
The crowds disperse.
Long times have passed since then.
Zelda sit on her throne.
The room has completely been redone. Everything shines in gold, when visitors enter. They have to squint their eyes till they have adjusted. That is how brightly the room shines.
"Your Highness here is the schedule for today." says the Fire Mage he is smiling very hard. "As always thank you Sir Izdryn." Zelda takes the paper and is also shining very hard. "YOUR MAJESTY PLEASE APPROVE THESE PLANS!" The Knights stone face has not changed but you sense it is smiling very sternly.
Like clockwork the staff move through the castle everyone is smiling very brightly.
"EEEEEEIIIIIIIII!" a scream from the courtyards entrance.
"YOUR MAJESTY!" The Knight moves in front of the Queen.
A voice they recognize.
"Zelda here fill this order and send it to the Kokoto village. It seems they have a dragon problem."
"DEFEND THE QUEEN!" All the Knights assemble.
"What are you doing now?"
"GEIR I DID NOT GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO ENTER!" screams Zelda looking with complete disdain at Geir.
"I do not need your permission. Here sign this and give it to the minister."
"Geir you are not welcome here anymore!" says the Fire Mage glaring at Geir.
"Fire Mage what are you talking about?"
"DO NOT ACT THE FOOL! YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!"
"With you three incompetents each day is a new adventure in how you can disappoint me. Can you expect me to document or recall them all!"
"Geir you must leave here and never return!" says Zelda.
"Really now?"
"YES, YOU HEARD HER MAJESTY!" says the Knight.
"Very well, pay me first."
"I will do no such thing leave now!" says Zelda.
"I will revoke the contracts if I am not payed for services rendered, you will lose all abilities to do business with those lands." says Geir.
"I had my legal experts analyze the contracts. You do not have the power to do that."
Geir sighs "Legal experts.."
Geir holds his hand in front of him, a magical codex is formed from the ether.
"WHAT IS THAT?" screams the startled throne roomers.
"It is a magical book, do not be alarmed." says Zelda.
The people are calmed.
"Here Zelda this is the contract from Resostan. It clearly states that I should be paid, give me my money or this agreement will be voided."
"GIVE THAT HERE!" Zelda moves from her throne and rips it from his hands. She calls for the advisors the legal experts are assembled. They produce the Kingdoms copy of the document. They report to the Queen.
"NOWHERE IS IT STATED THAT YOU SHOULD BE PAYED! GUARDS ESCORT HIM OUT!" the Royal Guards move to escort Geir out.
Geir sighs "Look."
On the documents, magical blue print appears and shines on the parchment.
On the contracts first page is stated.
GEIR WARCHIEF OF THE TULOK OR ALSO KNOWN AS CLAURILLES DESCARTE ODDMUND OF HOUSE DOMINITUS
ALWAYS GETS PAID FIRST
HAS TOTAL CONTROL
AND CAN VOID ANY CONTRACT WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE.
"WHAT IS THIS?" screams Zelda.
"Did you not know? We have been using magical script for many suncycles now. Normal contracts can be falsified, magical contracts script will not appear if tampered with. Every major dwarven business has been using this method. Zelda pay me and I will leave, refuse and every contract we have signed since I have met you will be annulled."
"..." Zelda is totally white, she understands.
Geir walks to exit the room, the guards move to escort him.
"YOUR MAJESTY WHAT WOULD THIS MEAN?" screams the confused Knight.
"..."
Zelda is grasping her chest.
"YOUR MAJESTY!" "What is wrong your Highness?"
"She knows what will happen." says Geir he has a cold look in his eyes.
"BE QUIET FIEND!"
"Geir what would happen?" asks a worried Fire Mage
"The Kingdom of Hyrule will face a total economic collapse."
Zelda hesitates it seems she is fighting something.
"STOP PLEASE!"
"No."
Geir leaves the throne room.
Zelda runs past him, she is waiting at the courtyards door.
"PLEASE GEIR! STOP!"
She is desperately pleading towards him, pushing against him trying to get him back into the castle.
He walks unperturbed his strength overpowering her. Zelda falls over and rolls like a ball on the grass.
"THE QUEEN TOLD YOU..."
"SHUT UP!" she screams at the Knight.
He is still.
She runs past him towards the Dwarven Realm.
When she enters the Dwarven gate, she feels everyone look at her with complete contempt.
A Mighty Muscular Dwarf he has a mighty mustache and a braided beard.
"Great Father Thandall please help..."
"Little lassie you are not welcome here, I am afraid I have to ask you to leave."
"NO, PLEASE!"
"Move or be moved." Two Dwarven Warriors approach her, they have their weapons drawn.
"...no..." Zelda is escorted outside.
Times pass...
Zelda look unkept, she is frantically biting at her fingers and nails.
"DID YOU FIND HIM YET?"
"NO, YOUR MAJESTY PLEASE HAVE SOME REST!" says the Knight.
"I HAVE TO BE READY!"
"Your Highness can we not renegotiate with those countries?"
"THE "EXPERTS" HAVE STUDIED THE CONTRACTS GEIR HAS TOTAL CONTROL!"
"GEIR THE FIE..."
"QUIET HUNFREY WHAT IF HE HEARS YOU AND IS OFFENDED?"
"YOUR MAJESTY..." says the worried Knight.
"Zelda sign these forms and send these orders to..." a familiar voice is heard.
"HAHAHAHAHA! YOU CAME BACK!" Zelda is pulling at her hair.
"Zelda what happened is this the new fashion? You look like a beggar!"
"GEIR!"
"Zelda?"
"PLEASE FORGIVE ME. I WILL PAY YOU ANYTHING!"
"What are you talking about?"
"DO NOT CANCEL THE CONTRACTS!"
""Contracts" what?"
"YES, THE ONES WITH THE COUNTRIES YOU WERE GOING TO CANCEL THEM!"
"Why would I do that? I wont be able to make money anymore."
"HAHAHAHA!" Zelda bursts into tears and starts sobbing while laugh manically.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!" screams Geir looking in horror at the scene.
"I AM LEAVING!" He moves to run.
"PLEASE GEIR STOP!" says Zelda.
"Zelda what is wrong?"
"Please forgive me."
"For what?
"For all those times that I..."
"Be quiet do not say anymore."
"Why Geir?"
"I want to hate you till the end."
Instantly Zelda remembers, when they were in the dream world, while busy dying she said the same.
"Zelda when I wanted to apologize to you just before I knew I was dying, you kept your pettiness in tact, robbing me of my dying wish. I will never forgive you as long as I am alive, maybe even in the afterlife as well."
"Geir do you not think that is going to far?" speaks the Fire Mage.
"Candlelight you were not there. How could you possibly know?"
"..."
"Geir what can I do for you to forgive me?"
"If you can do the impossible then it can happen."
Zelda's tears start flowing.
"What will happen to the country now?"
"What do you mean?"
"You are going to leave now are you not?"
"Why would I do that?"
"You are angry at me and will never forgive me."
"Zelda you and your comrades are my enemies. You always have and always will be. I am not fighting for you."
"THEN WHO ARE YOU FIGHTING FOR?"
"The people of the lands."
"..."
"I have many things to do, here are the forms." He hands them to the Fire Mage.
"Geir why do you call us your enemies?" asks the Fire Mage.
"Candlelight people who only take from you and never give back can they be called your friends?"
"Still even then why call us your enemies?"
"That you would conspire to kill me, preparing so openly for the act. Did you really think I did not notice immediately what you were trying to accomplish?"
"WHAT ARE YOU SPOUTING NOW FIEND!"
"That you where trying in the open and in full view learning techniques to kill me! How can you not call such a person your enemy?"
"..."
"Well forget about all that, I am leaving." Geir walks to exit the throne room like he always had.
"Geir..."
"Zelda?"
"That boy in the dream world was it really you?"
"Yes, it was. Why?"
"How did that innocent boy turn into you?"
Geir stops walking.
"Do you really want to know?"
"Yes."
"Many things happened but there was one moment that changed my life forever. Do you still want to know why I am, as I am now?"
"Yes, Geir please tell me."
Geir turns backwards glaring with the coldest set of eyes at Zelda. He is not even hiding his pure hatred and disgust at the one person who ruined his life forever.
"I am this way, because I met you."
Geir composes himself, he hides the hatred and disgust he feels towards the Fire Mage, the Knight and Zelda his worst enemies in his heart.
He exhales and stands up straight.
Geir walks down the stairs...
Finish.
