The Fate of the First Hero of Light
"The Monsieur Pantomimer has died and was defeated!" the announcer proclaims.
Trumpets blare and doves are released into the air.
The crowds stand up and cheer, their joyous shouts ascend to the heavens.
The amphitheater is filled to the brim, the people of the lands are holding a great festival, a festival to celebrate the Monsieur Pantomimer's death!
The great nations's representatives of different times and places start marching into the enormous venue.
Soldiers, statesmen and many other esteemed guests march in tune to the music playing, like the most expensive of a clock their movements match.
High above the stands in the balcony of the amphitheater.
Where all the nations leaders and other esteemed guests are gathered.
Zelda is standing looking out at this majestic sight in front of her, her face is red and there are veins spread upon her forehead, she is gritting her teeth together gnashing them loudly.
Zelda is furious!
"Your Majesty may I ask what do you think of our nations formations?" asks the Duke of a distant Kingdom mockingly to Zelda.
Zelda looks at the Kingdom's soldiers they walk in perfect formations.
Their golden armours and silver blades shine as brightly as the sun.
"It is truly wonderful!" says Zelda gritting her teeth together.
"Thank you Your Majesty. I am truly thankful that we meet your lofty standards." says the Duke condescendingly.
The other nations leaders laugh amongst themselves.
"Your Majesty when will your "legions" be arriving? They did not get lost by chance?"
"Do not be alarmed they will be here soon!" says the enraged Zelda.
"We do hope so." the other nations leaders laughing together "secretively" mocking Zelda among themselves.
In the far distance, on the lower levels, Zelda sees a woman with the ears of a hare walking through the crowds.
She looks lost and is carrying many goblets in her arms.
"ZELDY! WHERE ARE YOU?" the woman with the ears of a hare screams.
"MJRN! I AM HERE!" Zelda screams as loud as she can.
The other nations leaders gasp at Zelda's unruly behavior.
The ladies cover their mouths in shock at the Queen of Hyrule's lack of manners.
Whispering among themselves.
"...so the stories were true..."
"...I could never believe a Queen to behave so..."
"...she even mingles with the lower-class..."
SNAP
The chair's crest Zelda has been gripping tightly breaks in her angry grasp.
The whispering becomes even more judgmental.
"...unbelievable..."
"...what a rude woman..."
"...how could the King..."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!"
Zelda turns around withdrawing her hidden Royal daggers.
"EEEEEEIIIIIIIIIII! STOP SAVE ME!" the Duchess begs for help now that she has unleashed Zelda's true wrath!
Zelda goes to murder the Duchess of some foreign land.
On the lower levels.
Mjrn senses intense bloodlust and anger coming from the top of the auditorium.
"That must be Zeldy!"
She jumps on the roof of the lower levels of the auditorium.
Jumping effortlessly she ascends the roof tops of the various levels of the auditorium.
Finally the Viera jumps to reach the top.
THUD
Mjrn lands on the top.
She is looking at Zelda still moving to murder a foreign dignitary.
"Zeldy I finally found you!"
"MJRN!"
The rage in Zelda's heart disappears instantly when she heard her best friend's voice.
Her daggers are sheathed, the Duchess falls to the floor shaking in fear of the Queen!
"Yes, Zeldy it's me! Here I bought us some drinks!"
Zelda lets out a sigh of relief.
"Thank you Holy Mother! Now I need not suffer these fools alone." Zelda says aloud by mistake.
"FOOLS?!" the other nations respond.
"Zeldy who are these people?"
"Mjrn do not worry about them."
"Okay Zeldy! Here this one is for you!" the Viera hands Zelda one of the many goblets she has.
"Down it goes!"
"Gulp."
Zelda swallows the cup down in one movement.
"COUGH COUGH!"
Zelda chokes on the pure spirits, her nose is burning and her eyes tear up at the pure unfiltered alcohol she just consumed!
"Zeldy you musn't drink so fast again. Last time you lost all your..."
"MJRN PLEASE STOP! DO NOT SAY ANYMORE!"
"Zeldy?" the Viera looks at her best friend panicking.
"Alright Zeldy I won't tell anybody that you lost all your clothes!" the Viera reassures her friend she will not disclose of her follies.
SMACK
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" hitting her hands to her head Zelda shrieks out of embarrassment.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" the other leaders laugh at Zelda.
Zelda looks downward in disappointment.
Long times ago Zelda had thought she stopped caring.
But it is always the same.
Whenever she meets the other nations they are always laughing at her behind her back.
Zelda feels tears form as she looks down in shame.
"Zeldy I'm sorry. I made a mistake..." says the Viera looking away.
"Mjrn I did not mean to..."
A tall handsome man wearing the red colours of House Dominitus walks up the stairs leading from the lower levels.
He is also carrying many goblets in his arms.
The handsome man searches for his beautiful wife.
He sees her looking downwards.
"MY BELOVED WHAT IS WRONG? WHY ARE YOU CRYING?"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" screams Zelda.
The man rushes towards his beautiful wife with the ears of a hare.
"I made a mistake Estonny I made Zeldy sad. I was forgetting things again and I said something I shouldn't have."
Sighing loudly and dramatically Estonix shakes his head side to side, looking towards his crying wife.
"What has the beast done this time?"
CRASH
Estonix barely misses the hostess cart Zelda cast to kill him with.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW BEAST?!" screams Estonix.
Zelda grits her teeth together gnashing them loudly.
Desperately she searches for something else to murder him with!
"You two really are the bestest of friends! Always playing together!" says the recovered Mjrn while playfully slapping Estonix on the shoulder.
"IT IS NOT TRUE!" they shout in unison.
Mjrn laughs adorably at them.
Zelda's rage evaporates looking at her best friends innocent smile.
"...Is it always like this in Hyrule..."
"...I had heard rumours..."
"...it is even worse than I could possibly have imagined..."
The other leaders are whispering amongst themselves, looking judgmentally at Zelda.
Zelda looks downwards in shame again.
"What do you find so bemusing simpletons?" asks Estonix looking disparagingly at the nobles.
"HOW DARE YOU!"
Some of the nobles withdraw their blades at this attack on their honour!
Estonix sighs mockingly looking at enraged nations representatives.
"I must admit I am surprised that some of you even knew how to withdraw a blade from a scabbard without losing a limb or digit by mistake. Well done you have earned my praise."
Zelda smiles and starts giggling at the other nations frustrations.
One of the King's signals to the others they sheathe their weapons in an overly dramatic fashion, turning their backs towards Estonix.
Sighing again dramatically Estonix folds his arms.
Looking amusingly at the other royals feeble attempt at disregarding him.
"Am I such a terrible master that my slaves would disrespect me so?"
"Hahahahaha!" Zelda started laughing.
"YOU FIEND!" again the weapons are withdrawn.
Estonix smiles fully enjoying their frustrations.
They recover again sheathing their weapons.
"How can you call us your slaves? You aren't even a king!" says one of Estonix's slaves.
"Yes, that is true!"
"You cannot command us!"
All his slaves loudly agree among themselves.
"Unfortunately my Claurilly still favours the beast so I must let Zelda play the fool and act as the Queen for now. When Zelda is finally gone. The true King will emerge to enslave you all!"
CRASH
Zelda's goblet falls to the ground!
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHEN I AM GONE?" screams Zelda.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW BEAST?! How can my beloved Claurilly stand your foolishness?"
Zelda's fury returns!
She grits her teeth while using her recently acquired beastlike strength.
She lifts up one of the long dining tables over her head, casting it aiming to kill Estonix!
CRASH
Estonix barely misses the table cast for his destruction!
The table lays destroyed, many scrumptious morsels lay spread upon the floor.
Estonix still wants to scream at the beast!
Before he can, he hears the others murmuring amongst themselves.
"...unbelievable is it like this always..."
"...what a terrible Kingdom..."
"...the people of Hyrule are truly cursed..."
The other nations shake their heads looking at Zelda and Estonix's death battle.
"Why are you amused? I will have to speak to my beloved Claurilly about your unmannerly behavior! That his subordinates would even disrespect me his eldest cousin and the Lord of his House!"
Zelda giggles, smiling broadly at the other nations consternations while they are facing the "fools" abrasive personality.
All the other royals and leaders are scowling at the villainous representatives from the Kingdom of Hyrule!
One of Geir's subordinates responds.
"You presume too much Lord Dominitus the Warchief does not control us."
Folding his arms again Estonix stares at the foolish King.
"The blind cannot see who leads them. They can only follow in total obedience ignorant of their true leader."
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" Zelda starts laughing hysterically.
She falls to the floor tears are flowing as she is enjoying the other kingdom's sufferings!
"ENOUGH OF THIS SLANDER!" a massive figure stands up wearing a black suit of armour.
Withdrawing his gigantic great sword, he moves menacingly to Zelda's party.
Estonix looks at the massive figure approaching him.
"What are you doing here servant? I did not signal for you."
"Hahahahaha!" Zelda is still laughing enjoying their sufferings.
She recovers standing up wiping her tears away.
The black knight casts something towards them.
THUD
His massive gauntlet falls to the floor.
"Lord Dominitus I challenge you to a duel!"
Estonix stares at the Knight's gauntlet laying on the floor.
"With manners as ill as yours, you cannot possibly expect me to take that gauntlet."
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" screams the enraged Knight.
"Persons who are rude of etiquette are often times also rude of appearance. When last did you bathe?"
CRASH
BAM
SHATTER
Tables are destroyed, crystal wares shatter and crockery break as the Knight swings his sword to kill Estonix.
Zelda laughs as Estonix effortlessly avoids every swing!
"STAND STILL YOU COWARD!"
Estonix stops and grasps the Knights giant blade with one hand mid swing!
"Excuse me? "
Bloodlust pools out of Estonix.
Estonix closes his hand on the blade.
CRACK
A crack extends throughout it.
The desperate Knight pulls with all his might on the blade.
It does not move!
It feels as if it was cast into the hardest of stone!
"Excuse me? I may have misheard you? Did you call me a coward?"
Estonix closes his hand.
SHATTER
Silver shards fly everywhere!
The blade is destroyed!
"TO ARMS DEFEAT THE EVIL KINGDOM OF HYRULE!"
All the servants attending the feast, the leaders, royals, other representatives present and the assassins laying in wait withdraw their weapons and appear!
"So you finally show your true colours."
"WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?" screams Zelda as she sees everyone standing to face her, Mjrn and Estonix!
"These fools have conspired together to have us killed."
SMACK
Zelda hits her hands to her head at hearing this.
"WHY?" she screams.
"WE WILL NOT LIVE UNDER FEAR OF THE KINGDOM OF HYRULE ANYMORE! WE WILL DEFEAT YOU VILLAINS ONCE AND FOR ALL!" screams the Duchess that Zelda almost killed.
"FEAR? VILLAINS? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" screams the shocked Zelda.
"YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE! YOU CANNOT TRICK US ANYMORE!"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" screams Zelda she looks towards Estonix for answers.
Sensing her confusion, he sighs.
"Zelda do you honestly not know why they would foolishly try to defeat us?"
"NO, I DO NOT KNOW! WHY WOULD THEY?"
"Zelda who are your closest allies?"
As if a lightning bolt strikes Zelda she understands!
"Geir, Teela, Vivilara, the Tulok tribe, Mjrn, my Kingdom's people...I see it is unfortunate it cannot be helped."
Zelda withdraws her twin Royal daggers, while a massive clay centipede crawls out from underneath her dress.
"Mjrn are you ready?" Zelda asks her best friend.
The Viera already has her bow drawn and ready to strike.
"Yes, Zeldy let's make them all dead! Let's go Estonny!"
"At once my beloved."
Estonix withdraws his rapier for the first time.
The masses of Zelda's enemies take a step backwards.
The total confidence the three villains from the Kingdom of Hyrule have, even when faced with many trained and skilled warriors facing them is alarming and frightful!
"Gi-gi-give us the Wa-war-warchief then there need not be any bloodshed." says one of the Kings nervously.
"WHAT?" screams Zelda.
"Yes, we only want the Warchief. Give him to us then you do not need to die!" says another royal.
"Yes, we will spare you!"
Zelda's enemies confidence has returned, they are loudly agreeing amongst themselves.
"YOU CANNOT DEFEAT US! GIVE HIM TO US!" the now boisterous crowd demands.
"..."
Zelda looks on in amazement at this.
"So you only want Geir?"
"YES, DO THAT AND WE WILL NOT DESTROY HYRULE!"
The leaders and royals are totally confident at their assured victory.
"BAHAHAHAHAHA!" Estonix laughs at the crowd.
"What is so funny? Has fear driven you mad!" the absolutely confident King asks to Estonix.
"He is already behind you!"
"WHAT?"
The enemies of Zelda turn around to look at Geir!
They turn but he is not there!
It was a dastardly deception!
"KILL THEM ALL!" Estonix screams.
The crowds desperately try to defend themselves!
Zelda's clay constructs rush towards the unguarded crowds, many arrows fly as Mjrn shoots in quick succession and Estonix's rapier's point is almost piercing the eye socket of the black armoured Knight to kill him instantly when he strikes through his head!
CRASH
BAM
THUD
Zelda's clay centipede is frozen stiff and falls over on the floor, Mjrn's arrows bounce off and Estonix's rapier leaves cracks and slides off from the ice crystals that have completely encased the enemies of the Kingdom of Hyrule!
"..."
THUD
Estonix and Zelda fall to their knees in disappointment.
BAM
Estonix hits the ground.
"We took too long..." Estonix laments on this failure.
"Yes, we lost this chance..." Zelda says sadly.
They both mourn this lost opportunity they had, had to defeat all their enemies at once.
Another tall handsome man wearing a bloodied traditional dress walks up the stairs.
His black hair is styled in an upswept style a pompadour extending past his brow.
Blood is dripping down from his wet red blood splattered parka.
"GEIRYWEARY! YOU MADE IT!" says the excited Mjrn glad her precious friend has arrived.
Geir looks at the destroyed balcony reserved for the guests of honour.
Tables lay broken, expensive meals are scattered on the floor and many trinkets glitter on the floor.
Geir sighs deeply.
"Zelda what happened here?"
"Well about that..." Zelda looks away not looking Geir in the eyes.
Putting his hand to his face, shaking his head side to side.
"We can talk later."
"Yes, that would be for the best..." says Estonix.
Geir extends his hand.
Snapping his fingers.
SHATTER
The ice disappears around the crowds.
They scream out of fear.
Some are still flinching waiting for a certain death that will not be arriving, at least not now, only when Geir has approved the death certificate will it finally arrive!
Many moments pass...
Finally it is talked about.
Geir faces his many enemies.
"I understand now. Please forgive us Lords, Ladies, Kings, Queens, Royals and other peoples. It would seem our Kingdom has caused you all a great inconvenience."
"GEIR DO NOT APOLOGIZE!" Zelda screams at her hero.
Geir scowls at Zelda.
"..."
"An apology will not be sufficient to make us forgive you for this."
Zelda sees veins form upon Geir's face, it is turning red.
She pulls back her arm making a fist.
"...yes..." she congratulates herself softly.
"Geir will definitely kill them all now!" she thinks aloud by mistake.
"WHAT?!" the nations scream.
"Zeldy you are talking aloud again."
"WHAT DID YOU SA..." Zelda screams but stops.
"Geir please kill them. They all want you dead!" Zelda begs her hero to defeat her foes.
"Is this true?" Geir asks nobody in particular.
"YES, WE DO!"
"I HATE YOU!"
"YOU ARE A BLIGHT UPON THE LANDS!"
"FACE US YOU FIEND!"
Everybody in particular responds.
Immediately Zelda withdraws her weapons.
Nobody talks to her hero in such a way and lives!
Geir puts his hand on her shoulder.
He stopped her.
"I am sorry Zelda I cannot do that."
"WHY GEIR?" asks the frustrated Zelda.
Geir rubs his filthy evil hands together.
"If I kill them I will not be able to extort money out of them anymore!"
"Bahahahahaha!" Geir lets out a hearty laugh.
"...ugh..."
Zelda looks blankly at her villainous hero laughing to himself about his villainous behavior and his deplorable actions.
"WE HAVE SEEN YOUR TRUE CHARACTER! WE WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH YOU EVER AGAIN!" the crowds have been listening attentively to Zelda's requests.
Zelda pulls back her arm making a fist.
"...yes..." she congratulates herself softly again.
"Geir will have no choice but to kill them all now!" she says aloud by mistake again.
"..."
Hate-filled eyes fall on Zelda.
"How will you do business then?" Estonix ask them.
"WE WILL NOT DO BUSINESS WITH YOUR KINGDOM THAT IS HOW WE WILL DO IT!"
"But my Claurilly owns all of your trade routes."
"THE DWARVES DISTRIBUTE OUR WARES! NOBODY OWNS THEM!"
Zelda forms a wicked smile.
"But Geir is a Dwarf."
"WHAT?"
"DO NOT BE PREPOSTEROUS! EVERYONE CAN SEE HE IS A HUME!"
Zelda giggles to herself.
She starts recounting of Geir's Dwarven schemes and origins.
The leaders and nobles who have studied financial literature in depth start to panic.
They are pale and sweat drips from their foreheads as the terrible truth is being revealed.
"PLEASE WAIT A MOMENT!"
They recount what will happen to the others if they earn the ire of the evil god of schemes!
A consensus is reached.
"We have decided. We will forgive you for these horrible acts! Only this one time! Count yourselves lucky of our great mercy!"
Zelda hears this.
She feels massive pressure on her forehead, her face is red!
She extends her hand towards them.
"Give me..."
"Excuse me?" a Lady asks.
"Give me gold."
Geir immediately freezes in place and turns pale!
"Gold? Why must we give you gold?" a confused King asks.
"It is tribute..."
Sweat forms on Geir's brow.
"Why would you need tribute?"
"It is for letting you live..."
Geir starts breathing heavily.
"Do you want tribute from us?" another confused leader asks.
"YOU WILL PAY ME TRIBUTE IN GOLD EACH MOONCYCLE OR I WILL SEND GEIR TO KILL YOU ALL!" the red faced Zelda commands the other leaders.
Geir grasps his chest tightly.
"GREAT FATHER VOLTEC I COME TO SEE YOU ONCE MORE!"
Geir accepts his certain death at the hands of an angel, who struck him down by sending him this heavenly illusion!
THUD
Geir falls down and is unconscious immediately upon hearing Zelda standing up for herself and acting like the villainous Queen he always knew she could be!
"GEIR!"
"CLAURILLY!"
"GEIRYWEARY YOU ARE SO SILLY!"
Everyone rushes to the fallen Geir.
Finish.
