Thalia

''This was a bad idea."

Thalia nodded, agreeing with her second in command. They had been almost immediately swarmed after they emerged into the castle. They had fought bravely, but they were now in the dungeons, awaiting execution.

The plan had gone almost as Thalia had expected,except she didn't factor in that someone might tell Peach of her plans.

Her fists clenched. Who was the dirty rat who had told?

Thalia knew for a fact that it was not one of the men in this cell with her now. Every single one of them had sworn an oath to never betray her. Her men took their oaths very seriously.

Toad? He was an old friend of hers. There was no way he would betray her.

There were next to no others that knew they had been planning this.

She could only guess that someone wanting to curry favour with their new masters had ratted them out. Thalia would ensure that the rat was gutted accordingly.

"Did you hear what happened in Sarasaland the other day?" Her second in command asked in a hushed tone.

When Thalia shook her head, he continued.

"There was a small rebellion against the Crystal people...Daisy had them and every other non crystal person flayed and hung from the wall that's been built around her capital city. It's horrific."

Thalia felt the Bile rising in her throat. Of course she had known, from the last war, that the Crystal denizens were capable of brutality and cruelty. This, however, was going too far.

There was nothing she could do, but sit and await death.

One of the officers let out a soft sobbing noise. The officers around him tried to soothe him but it was no use.

Everyone in the cell was scared and tense. These bastards that were holding them in the cell had unusually cruel ways of killing people.

They were going to die today. Thalia was sure of it.

Why oh why had she left the Lost Woods?

All her men would die today. And it was all her fault.

THE SEVEN SAGE'S COUNCIL ROOM

The Seven SAGES were gathered around a table staring angrily at the other side of the table where Ganondorf lounged.

Ruto finally spoke up.

"With all due respect Zelda, what the HELL is he doing here?"

Zelda stared back at Ruto calmly.

"He saved me from the attack by the Crystal Kingdom. He has offered to help us. Ganondorf has had MULTIPLE chances to attack me or imprison me and he has not. We will need to trust him for now."

Nabooru was the next to speak.

"Who are they then?" She gestured to Syrio and his squire. ''Forgive me, but I don't recall them being part of this council either."

Zelda held up a cd.

"Morton Senior of Darkland sent this Cd and said to play it when Syrio got here. So that is what I'm doing. After which, we shall begin strategizing a battle plan. These Crystal Kingdom people need to realize we will not take this attack lying down."

As she popped the cd into the Dvd player, The Squire watched in horror as Morton's face filled the screen. He remembered the Koopa and all too well.

"Hello Syrio Toadstool. This message is concerning your Neice,Raven.'' A lazy grin was on his face.

The screen cut to Raven unconscious and strapped to a table.

"This is Raven from a few years back. She happened to be in Darkland, and I happened to get her Dna. How and why is not important. What IS important is what I used the Dna FOR."

The screen cut to Bowser Junior.

"This is what I used it for. I combined Raven's Dna with Bowser's. This is their biological child. As her only family not captured, I felt it was your right to know. Now to more important matters.''

His face filled the screen again.

"...My grandchildren seem to be preparing for a war against the Crystal Kingdom. I would like you and your squire to come here and teach them to fight properly. I know that Iggy is already good enough, but Bowser Junior isn't. If you're coming, come quickly. I'm afraid there is not much time."

The screen went black.

There were murmers through the council room.

The oddest reaction, however, was that of the squire.

He appeared to be in shock. As Syrio shook him gently, he finally spoke,to the shock of the entire council room, who had been told that he didn't speak.

"...Oh god..I'm a mother?"

Zelda's chair hit the ground.

"I knew it."

The squire paused before pulling down her hood. A very familiar set of violet eyes regarded the Hyrulian Princess.

"..Hello Zelda."
