The Fate of the First Hero of Light

"What do you mean he's dead?"

"Geir is dead, I killed him."

"NOOOOO!" screams the Dark Elf.

"Geir why does this woman look exactly like me?!" screams the identical looking Dark Elf.

"She is my wife Vivi."

"NOOOOO! GEIR PLEASE WHERE IS HE? WHERE ARE YOU HIDING HIM?" the Dark Elf is crying very heavily.

"Vivilara I killed him."

"PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!"

"Why is she so upset?" ask the other Dark Elf.

"She is my real wife."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!'

"Please Geir come back to us!"

"Vivi you know me better than anyone else. You know that I cannot."

"PLEASE GEIR!" the Dark Elf collapses on the floor and is holding her face while sobbing.

"Geir these people are exact twins of ours, even the life energies are the same." says Esdeath.

"Yes, Grandmother these are my world's people."

"Why do you refer to them as your world Geir?" asks the Fire Mage.

"Fire Mage can you remember that day when I started throwing up blood and collapsed?"

"Yes, was it not something to do with the Dwarven Realm's catastrophes?"

"That was the day your Geir died."

The other Dark Elf is also starting to cry.

"Is that why you never felt the same to me?"

"Yes, Vivi."

"How could this have happened?" says the crying Dark Elf next to me.

"In my world after failing to deal with the hardships we faced after the war to the western countries. Zelda attempted to take her own life. I presumably had to lead and the time I was busy, lead to some disaster in the other Dwarven Realm's World."

"No...why...is...this...happening?" says the Dark Elf next to me.

"Geir son but did Bhelem not just take you from the future to the past?" asks the Mighty Dwarf Thandall Deepstand.

"Uncle Thandall if time can be seen as a line constantly being drawn. Taking me from the future to the past does not mean the line already moving gets erased. Only a new line is formed."

"Geir I do not understand what you mean?" asks Zelda.

"Zelda when I returned I already knew what was going to happen. The famine was stopped even before it happened. This time there was no disaster. In my time many people died. You had a nervous breakdown and fled the country."

"Son is this really true?" asks the identical Uncle Thandall standing opposite me facing the other Thandall Deepstand.

"That is the only explanation, that seems plausible."

"I see...I already know the answer but you would not be willing to come back?" asks the crying Mighty Dwarf.

"You already know the answer Uncle Thandall."

"Geir do not think I will accept this. You are my grandson we are leaving!"

"That is not going to happen. I do not care for these games he is my grandson. I know his life energies this is him."

"No, you are wrong he is not the same one." speaks the Dark Elf next to me.

"LADY VIVILARA!"

"What he says is true. I had suspected something to be amiss since that day, I was never able to find out what it was. Vivilara he will be safe here with me, you should leave."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY! I CAME HERE FOR MY HUSBAND!"

Suddenly there is giant crack in the floor. It opens and a red glow is emitted plumes of dark smoke come out of it.

"GODDAMMIT! WHY IS THERE TROUBLE WHEREVER I GO!"

"Finally you showed up. These people were driving me insane!"

Out of the crack the other Geir emerges.

Almost everyone collapses at this sight.

The Dark Elf opens her eyes.

"Come Vivi we are leaving."

"GEIR IS THIS A DREAM?!"

"No, it is real. The Geir of this time is alive again. We have to leave as soon as possible."

I nod to everyone and we leave.

We are back in my time. We walk towards the Capitol. The streets are dirty and there are beggars, all the buildings are damaged or burnt out.

"This is terrible! Everything is ruined!"

"Yes, son without the little lass or you here. Things took a turn for the worse."

"I will assess the situation."

I spend the next mooncycle, travelling the land. I speak to the many villagers and peoples. The famine and destruction following the war, was worse than I could even have imagined.

"I should see who the current ruler is."

I move up the stairs to enter the throne room.

"MICHEAL!"

"Who are you!"

"Did you finally kill Estonix?"

"CLAURILLES! IS IT TRULY YOU!"

"Yes, Micheal I have returned."

"Thank you Holy Mother! Claurilles please save us!"

""Us"? Micheal?"

"Yes, Estonix and myself thought it would be wonderful to be the King. But it is a most tedious and dull task. Now that you have returned you can rule the Kingdom!"

"I am sorry Micheal, I cannot do that."

"NO, PLEASE CLAURILLES! HELP ME!"

"Do not be alarmed I will find someone who is capable."

"Thank you Claurilles!"

Now to find her.

Where do I look first? I move to Zelda's homelands I highly doubt she would be here. Her penchant for avoiding responsibility, would have driven her to the far corners of the globe.

I enter her homelands.

There is a hooded figure the colour of the cloak indicates it is a journeyman level mage, the symbols indicate it is a mage specializing in healing magics.

"Excuse me, can you tell me if you have seen Mirarieth recently?"

The figure points to the magical academy building.

I walk to the number of the room I was told she was staying in, at the dormitory.

I open the door.

There is a small figure on a bed covered with a large blanket.

"UNBELIEVABLE ZELDA!"

A whispering voice "who are you?"

"It is me Geir!"

"...what do you want?"

"How could you have hidden in the first place someone would look for you?!"

"...go away."

"The world does not work that way. Come we are leaving."

"I never want to go back!"

"The people are still angry at you for leaving them. I will talk to them they will forgive you."

"Did you not hear me..."

"Zelda."

"Yes, Geir?"

"I am sorry I abandoned you."

Immediately the small figure is upright and the blanket is on the floor.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY!"

"You heard me. Come let us leave."

"I might have misheard did you apologize!"

"Yes, what is wrong?"

Zelda takes an offensive stance.

"NO, EVIL SHAPESHIFTER SHOW YOUR TRUE FORM OR PREPARE FOR THE CONSEQUENCES!"

Zelda starts weaving the signs for "Scratch Patch".

BAM

"OW!" I punch her in the face.

"IT IS ME DAMMIT! LET US LEAVE!"

"Oh..alright."

After much travelling and explaining.

"Unbelievable Geir so Bhelem abducted you and killed the other you!"

"That is an odd way to state that?"

"This whole time you have been saying you killed the other Geir."

"Yes, why?"

"You were bound and forced into his body against your will. You were only the weapon being wielded, Bhelem killed the other you."

"I could have escaped at any time."

"If you could, you would have. There will be repercussions."

""Repercussions" Zelda?"

"Yes, first let us save the country."

I nod and we leave to enter the castle.

We walk up the stairs there are many screams heard and the crashing of furnishings being broken.

"ZELDA!" I withdraw my broadsword.

"I UNDERSTAND!" Zelda removes her daggers.

We enter the throne room.

"WRETCH WHERE IS THE FIEND?" screams the Knight "BE STILL FOOL! THE SCOUNDREL WILL STAY HERE!" screams the identical other Knight.

They withdraw their rusted blades and start dueling. Sparks fly from the clashing rusted blades.

"DIE!" my Grandmother screams while attacking my other twin Grandmother "NOT IF YOU DIE FIRST!" they are battling using ice swords.

"I do not care. I lose either way." The two Fire Mages seem in agreement. They stand together in the corner looking at the brawl.

"GIVE ME MY HUSBAND BACK!" The two Dark Elf's are on the floor wrestling and punching each other. "HE WAS MY HUSBAND FIRST! YOU HAVE YOUR OLD ONE BACK! LEAVE MINE ALONE!" "I LIKE THE NEW ONE BETTER!" "WHAT DID YOU SAY!"

My Zelda start weaving hand signs she points her hidden staff in a direction.

"JUDE THE PRUDE!"

The magic bolt hits a pot and breaks it. Someone jumped out of the way.

The other voice I also recognize.

"Scatch patch!"

My Zelda is struck by the magical attack. She immediately casts.

"URGENT DOOR CHECK!"

I quickly take my crystal in my pocket and throw it in front of her staff. The magical bolt splits into smaller bolts and strikes everyone.

A door is formed in front of everyone.

After suffering long moments opening and closing doors and checking them repeatedly.

I break the spell, with the technique Aunt Hurmihilda taught me.

"Is everyone calm now?"

"..."

"What is the problem?" I ask.

"WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? ARE YOU INSANE? YOU CANT JUST NOD AND LEAVE AND EXPECT US TO ACCEPT THAT!" screams the other Zelda.

"Your Geir is back what should I do?"

"We cannot accept this! When Bhelem forced you into our world, that was almost 6 suncycles ago!"

"But.."

"NO, BUTS YOU ARE COMING BACK!"

"I refuse."

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"

"The time I spent with these people are many times longer than what I ever spent with you."

"GEIR NO PLEASE!' says the Dark Elf.

"Vivi you, yourself said that I felt different."

"That does not mean I meant it in a bad way! I just never knew what it was idiot!"

"..."

"Please Geir come with us! We need you now more than ever. The other countries are bound to strike again, we cannot lose this chance."

"Zelda my time is also in tatters. The Geir you have is the same as me. Where I always helped you, now he needs your help."

"Geir son..."

"Uncle Thandall?"

"Can you remember what I told you at the mine."

"You can only control what your hands can grasp?"

"Yes, son now is the time for us to use that."

"I do not understand?"

"LADS AND LASSIES GRAB HIM AND RUN!"

"YES, EVERYONE TAKE HIM BY FORCE!" screams the other party.

"ENOUGH!" Me and my twin scream in sync.

"Vivi come we are leaving!" The other me grabs his wife and drags her off. I pick up mine.

"GEIR PLEASE COME BACK!" I shake my head side to side.

After much consternations we forced everyone home.

"Geir..."

"Zelda?"

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"Staying with us."

"..."

"Geir."

"Yes, Zelda?"

"You lost your friends and family again."

"That might be true. Let us start with the plans for our future."

Finish.
