The Fate of the First Hero of Light
Zelda stands on the balcony of her majestic palace.
Looking towards the ground level she sees a great festival is being held.
Entertainments and music is being played and there is great merriment.
The people are celebrating in joy.
Zelda starts staring into the sky looking at the clouds passing by.
She starts her recollections of memories past...
"My name is Mirarieth the Great, Smartest and Best also previously known as Zeldany the Kind the ruler of the Kingdom of Hyrule.
I am the Ultimate Empress of the continent of Aucigux.
It has been 10 suncycles since I have taken over by force!"
Zelda starts smiling smugly thinking of achievements and victories of long ago...
"Many suncycles ago my Kingdom was being rewarded honours for our part in defeating a great evil.
It was for defeating the despicable Monsieur Pantomimer!
At this joyous event the lesser leaders and royals had earned my wrath!
They had attacked my best friend Mjrn and myself."
Zelda frowns thinking of her worries of those times many many suncycles ago...
"I protected Mjrn and defeated them all by myself!" she laughs to herself of her heroic deeds.
"Unfortunately Mjrn's husband Estonix died in the battle, he was soon forgotten and never mentioned of ever again."
Putting her hands behind her back looking at the sky, she thinks back to those great moments, she continues recollecting...
"In my great mercy I had spared the other weak leaders lives!
I had demanded tribute...I meant I had taxed them for the glory of being in the Queen Zelda Empire.
Foolishly they had refused to pay me tribute...I meant pay me taxes!
This had happened only once!"
She furrows her brow thinking of her troubles collecting their funds due...
"I had sent my hero Geir Warchief of the Tulok and his Grandmother Teela to inquire why they were late with their payments.
I had heard stories of how they had suffered for many days!
Geir was beating them mercilessly and without pause.
The injuries Geir had inflicted on them, was too dire to be treated, most had expired before help could even reach them!"
Zelda smiles thinking of their fates!
"The "fortunate" ones who had survived Geir's retribution were soon greeted by Teela who was very irate and bored at all of the bloodshed being inflicted.
Without her having had the chance to inflict any pain and suffering of her own upon them!
The "fortunate" ones soon realized they were the most "unfortunate" ones.
She had vigorously inflicted her tortures upon them or so I had heard.
Everyone had finally expired, all my most annoying enemies were dead!
Immediately I placed some of the lesser royals and leaders into their predecessors posts, I manipulate them from the shadows!"
Zelda giggles about her great strategic genius, she hardens her face once more...
"If they ever try to disrespect me again, I will send Geir to kill them all!
Recently I have noticed the continents surrounding ours have become more and more arrogant.
They are always late with their gold deliveries and they do not bow nearly deep enough when they see me!
I think it might be time to strike preemptively and invade the..."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! ANCIENT ANCESTORS THIS IS TOO TERRIBLE!" Geir grasps at his chest.
THUD
He falls to the floor.
"CLAURILLY!"
Estonix rushes to brace him.
"WAIT? WHAT IS HAPPENING?!" Zelda screams her recollections of a past life that does not exist ends!
"Zeldy you were talking aloud again." says the woman with the ears of a hare.
Zelda takes in her surroundings, they are still at the festival celebrating the Monsieur's demise!
Zelda looks around her.
The leader, royals and nobles are cowering in fear around her on the destroyed balcony reserved for the guests of honour.
SMACK
Zelda hits her hands to her head.
"WHAT DID YOU HEAR?"
"Zeldy you are so silly! You were telling us funny stories!" says Mjrn while playfully slapping Zelda on the shoulder.
Zelda sees a weak man put his hand to his forehead.
"CLAURILLY PLEASE COMPOSE YOURSELF!" Estonix shakes the fallen Geir.
Zelda looks towards Geir being supported in Estonix's arms.
Geir is crying fiercely!
"GEIR WHAT IS WRONG?!"
Zelda runs to Geir.
BAM
She pushes Estonix away.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW BEAST?" Estonix screams as he falls over.
Zelda ignores him.
She grips the crying Geir's hand tightly.
"This is just too terrible..." whimpers the sobbing Geir.
"GEIR PLEASE THEM ME WHAT IS WRONG?" screams the worried Zelda.
"This dream is just too much..." Geir cries even fiercer.
"DREAM?!"
"Yes, when I wake up. Zelda will still be as lost and hopeless as she is every day!" Geir's tears do not want to stop falling.
BAM
Zelda punched Geir instinctively on the chest.
THUD
She let's him fall to the floor.
Geir lays on his back looking upwards.
"Leave me now heavenly vision. Return me to the cruel reality..." Geir closes his eyes.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN "LEAVE" YOU?" screams Zelda.
"Every sweet dream must come to an end." Geir prepares himself for this heavenly dream to end.
To see this heavenly vision of Zelda's true villainy is just too much!
Geir let's out a sad sigh while laying down with his eyes closed.
"What will she break tomorrow?" he speculates on the damage Zelda will inflict upon one of his schemes or an object of great worth.
"GEIRRRRRRRR!"
Zelda uses her beastly strength to cast a large object at the defeated Geir.
CRASH
The one remaining undestroyed hostess cart breaks on the laying Geir's head.
He sustained no damage.
"Geiryweary you are so silly! You aren't asleep. Zeldy is really strong!"
"MJRN!" Zelda blushes.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Geir is up immediately.
"ESTONNY IS THIS TRUE?"
"Yes, Claurilly you are not dreaming."
"NOOOOOOOOOO! This is just too much..." Geir cries even more.
His tears are obstructing his vision.
"Zelda where are you?"
"GEIR I AM HERE!" Zelda runs to Geir.
"Zelda come closer."
Zelda moves closer to Geir.
Geir starts unbuttoning his bloodied parka.
"Eh?" Zelda looks at events unfolding in front of her.
Geir takes off his shirt!
Zelda jumps backwards.
"EEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIII"
She shrieks out of embarrassment her face is red!
"GEIR WHAT ARE YOU DOING? PUT YOUR CLOTHES BACK ON!" she screams while studying Geir's lithe muscular frame very closely and intensely.
"I am sorry Zelda I cannot do that."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Zelda's face has never been this red in her whole life!
"Please Zelda receive this."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?! RECEIVE! WHAT MUST I RECEIVE GEIR?" screams the panicking Zelda.
Geir walks towards her.
"GULP." Zelda swallows nervously.
"NOT HERE GEIR! WHAT ABOUT VIVILARA? I AM NOT READY FOR THIS?!" Zelda is desperately searching around her for somewhere private.
"Zelda..." Geir reaches Zelda.
He is standing close to her and looking down at her.
Zelda stares at the shirtless Geir.
She looks at his handsome face, his extremely appealing figure and his terrible hairstyle!
Her heart is beating so fast, she thinks that if it could it would want to escape and run away!
Her throat is dry, she is shaking and sweat runs down her face.
"PLEASE GEIR! LET US GO SOMEWHERE WHERE WE CAN BE ALONE!"
Geir puts his finger on her mouth.
"Shhhhhhh... Zelda."
Zelda closes her eyes.
She has accepted it.
"I am ready..."
She waits for moments to "receive" Geir's embrace.
Zelda feels something being put around her neck.
"Eh?"
She opens her eyes.
Geir's shirt is back on.
He closes the last button on his traditional dress.
"Claurilly are you certain of this?" Estonix asks Geir.
"The time has come for me to pass on the torch."
"THE TORCH?!" Zelda looks confused.
She takes the object hanging from her neck.
Studying it closer it is a large medallion with an unknown royal seal upon it.
"Geir what is this?"
Geir turns around looking in the far distance.
"Zelda that medallion is one of the Tulok tribes most treasured relics."
"WHAT?!"
"Zelda many suncycles ago a great Warchief had lead our tribe on a brutal campaign in the regions outside of the Kingdom of Hyrule..."
"EXCUSE ME?"
"Zelda when that Warchief had invaded that region he had massacred the armies of the regions and many of the innocent populous had suffered by our tribes hands..."
"..."
Zelda stands silently.
She is waiting in horror speculating for what terrible reason she is being given this amulet!
"When the Warchief had finally defeated all his enemies and the Kings and Queens lay dead at his feet. He had claimed that amulet from the cold grasp of the dead Emperor of that region..."
"WHAT ARE YOU SAYING GEIR?"
"Zelda just like that Warchief before you, your ambition has no end. Even though you are not a Tulok tribe member that Warchief's spirit lives on in your heart. May it give you strength to finally crush all who..."
"GEIR! STOP! DO NOT SAY ANYMORE!"
"Zelda?" asks a puzzled Geir.
Zelda runs towards Geir.
She grabs his hand forcefully.
SMACK
Zelda hits the amulet in Geir's hand closing it tightly.
"GEIR THIS GIFT IS TOO MUCH! I CANNOT POSSIBLY EXCEPT IT!" Zelda lies trying to find a way to escape from receiving this cursed relic.
"Zelda?" Geir looks at Zelda.
Zelda is panicked looking for a way to escape receiving this terrible token.
"Silly Gearyweary Zeldy doesn't wear jewelry!" says Mjrn.
"YES, THAT IS CORRECT! I DO NOT WEAR JEWELRY! I HATE THEM!"
Geir sighs and puts on the necklace without unbuttoning his parka or removing his shirt!
"I understand Zelda, I did not know please forgive me."
"GEIR YOUR CLOTHES...I mean do not apologize. Thank you for the kind sentiment." says the distressed Zelda wondering why he needed to remove his clothes in the first place!
"We will not submit to your rule..." a weak voice speaks.
Zelda feels massive pressure on her forehead.
"Excuse me?" she turns around to face the cowering leaders.
"Yes, that is right we will not submit!" they agree amongst themselves.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Zelda glares at the cowardly leaders trying to muster enough strength to oppose her.
"We will fight you!"
"Yes, we will never stop!"
"We will never yield!"
Estonix folds his arms looking at the crowds desperately looking to regain composure.
"I do not know if I should pity or praise you?" says Estonix.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" scream the crowds.
"To be called courageous does not imply that a person does not experience fear."
"What are you implying Lord Dominitus?"
"Contrarily not experiencing any fear when you are held in the clutches of death is something only a person oblivious to their fate would do."
"WE DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR YOUR FOOLISHNESS! TELL US WHAT YOU MEAN!"
Estonix sighs loudly and dramatically.
"You are either ignorant of the direness of the circumstances you find yourselves in or you are brave beyond measure! If you still believe you can make demands or threaten us!"
CRACK
CRACK
Estonix cracks his knuckles.
"Come beast it seems they will not listen to us."
Estonix is rolling his arm stretching it out, preparing to mete out punishments.
Zelda tries to crack her knuckles to seem more imposing!
It does not work!
She has never done it before!
Her hand hurts!
"Um... yes you are correct!"
Zelda produces some detonating snot clay constructs, the detonating clay pours out of the mouths on her hand's palms.
They will be doing the punching!
The leaders, royals and nobles cower behind each other waiting for their certain demise!
"Claurilly, Zelda, Mjrn please stop..." Geir stops them.
"Claurilly must we really cease?" Estonix sighs.
"Geir please do not stop us..." Zelda looks downwards in disappointment.
"Yes, Geiryweiry let's kill them all!" says Mjrn while punching into the air working at exercising her striking techniques.
"I am sorry I cannot let you do that."
The crowds let out a sigh of relief.
CRUNCH
CRUNCH
Zelda hears something being eaten very loudly.
"At least have some of these before you do that!"
Geir shows the plate of delicacies he found laying on the ground to Zelda.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!?" scream the shocked crowds.
Short times pass...
BAM
CRASH
SHATTER
THUD
Zelda, Estonix and Mjrn are beating the guests of honour, assassins and other servants mercilessly.
They scream painfully and are trying to hide from the villainous representatives from Hyrule!
Geir had frozen the balcony closed with his crystal magics making a closed arena.
Geir is eating the scrumptious morsels that lay scattered around everywhere while he is looking on at the sufferings of Zelda's enemies!
They run everywhere trying to escape.
Zelda's constructs chase them, tackling them, they squirm about as the snot clay constructs slimy hands grips them, while they hit them again and again.
Estonix is snapping limbs and cracking skulls, throwing the Ladies, Lords, Kings, Queens and other esteemed guests about as they howl in pain and scream out in fear.
Mjrn is leg locked around the black armoured knight that had aimed to strike her husband, she is hitting him over the head with a part of a broken sculpture she had found!
Geir eats the last piece of his morsel, licking his fingers.
CLANG
He drops the serving tray on a piece of rubble.
He looks towards his crystal, glancing at the time.
"The time has come."
Everybody freezes and is silent.
THUD
The arm Mjrn was hitting the now catatonic knight with drops to the floor.
"Gearyweary what is wrong?" asks Mjrn.
"The time has come for us to go."
"Geir?"
The worried Zelda looks at Geir's strange behavior.
"Let us finish here."
"Claurilly?"
Geir stands up walking towards the severely injured honoured guests.
They shuffle amongst themselves, grouping together in fear.
Glaring at them they cower in his shadow being cast upon them.
Geir extends his hands towards the crowds.
"WAIT! GEIR ARE YOU ACTUALLY GOING TO KILL THEM!?" screams Zelda.
"EEEEEIIIIIIII!" they shriek out of fear.
"PLEASE HAVE MERCY!" "STOP DO NOT!" "FORGIVE ME!"
They loudly start begging for mercy.
Zelda feels strong magics forming all around her.
"PLEASE GEIR KILLING THEM IS TOO MUCH!" says Zelda.
Her rage had subsided enough that her "honourable" heart has returned!
Geir glares at crowds cowering in fear!
"AAAAAEEEEEEEIIIIIIII" the crowds scream in terror preparing for a certain death!
SNAP
SHATTER
The crystal arena shatters around them as Geir undid the crystal magics that were holding them captives.
The crowds collapse and a pool of liquid forms underneath them.
"Geir?" Zelda blinks her eyes many times wondering why everyone has not died.
"The time has come for the rewards to be handed out for defeating the Monsieur. Come Zelda let us leave..."
"Oh I see..." says the stunned Zelda.
She starts to follow Geir down the stairs leaving the ruined balcony reserved for the guests of honour behind.
Finish.
