As Zelda and Malon arrived at the Ball people stopped all activities and smiled and looked at them until a young man laughed and threw his arms in the air, " CHEERS TO THE PRINCESS ZELDA AND HER LOVELY FRIEND!" he shouted as everyone clapped for the two young maidens. Malon, however felt awfully guilty and wanted to hide in a dark cold corner for the rest of her sad life. Zelda however laughed and tugged on Malon's arm, " Cummon Malon! There are plenty of other men!," she said smiling. Malon shook her head and sat in a corner as Zelda shrugged and ran off to dance with Link.
"Hello Miss," said a manly voice next to Malon. The girl looked up to see a young man with messy blonde hair and deep blue eyes smiling at her. Malon faintly smiled and sighed, " Hello, sir, I'm Malon of Lon Lon... who do you be?," she said being polite. " I'm Will of Hyrule Castle Town... why do you look so lonely milady? Not to be rude or anything.," replied the young man as he sat next to her. Malon whispered something under her breath and bit her lip hard, causing it to bleed slightly, " I... I lost a loved one today, that's all." she said faintly now looking at ceiling, as if searching for a way to free Dark Link. Will leaned back and sighed, " I'm also looking for someone, he was supposed to show up, he's my roommate. You wouldn't by chance know of a Tareven? Of Kakoriko for instance?" . Malon perked up which almost frightened poor Will and smiled, " Oh Yes! Yes! I know a Tareven of Kakoriko! He's my fiancee!" she shouted remembering to hide Dark Link's true identity and saying what she said to Miss. Genevieve.
Will laughed and tapped Malon on the head, " Oh, Tareven did say he had to meet a woman tonight, he said she was pretty but I didn't know he got the fair maiden from the ranch!.". Malon blushed and looked down," Please, don't flatter me, especially since I should be in mourning.," she said sadly.
All of a sudden Miss. Genevieve, the guard from earlier came up and noticed Malon. She looked tomboyish and perky with her cropped dirty blonde hair and freckles. But her light blue dress and jewelry helped soften her appearance and make her look more girlish. She skipped her way up to Malon and smiled, " How are you and your fiancee doing miss? Ol' Talon didn't find out you're eloping yet did he? ," she said giggling every now and then as she sat down and leaned on Will. Will looked shocked and then serious, " Genevieve, love, don't talk to her about anything jolly and all, she's in mourning.". Genevieve looked sad and sat up straight, " Oh, I'm sorry miss. Who died, aren't you supposed to be in black?" she said sadly to Malon. Malon shook her head, " Nobody... but D.. Tareven is in prison..." . Genevieve and Will both looked shocked. Will asked her what happened and Malon started to explain.
" Hey! Link!" Zelda said running to the Hero of Time. Link looked up from his conversation with his peers and smiled as Zelda ran up and wrapped her arms around him. Link kissed the seventh sage on the forehead and laughed, " How do you do this fine day, darling?" he said holding on to Zelda. Zelda giggled and looked up at Link for he was quite tall, " I'm doing well, but a little guilty, Malon is quite sad about tonight, maybe we were to harsh on her." she said, wanting to go on but was cut off. Link mumbled something under his breath and frowned, " I don't think we were harsh at all, after all, he is a work of Gannondorf and shouldn't be played around with, Malon's a very flirtatious woman, she'll find another man, she got over me in about 5 minutes, she'll get over him also.". Zelda sighed and rolled her eyes, " But Link, dear, the girl was in love with the man, it's not her fault." . Link shrugged and sighed, " Whatever..." he said casually as if it was all nothing.
" Hey, You're finally up!" said a female voice. Her voice was harsh and rugged but still female. Dark Link sighed and rubbed his head grumbling, " What do you want?," he whispered loudly trying to recognize his surroundings. He looked at the girl, she had dirty blonde hair clipped with a spider clip and wore a green vest, an off white t-shirt and black caprice. Her blue eyes stood out against her golden tanned skin and was obviously not from this area. She was an older woman, maybe 20, but looked extremely mature as if she were in charge of alot of things. The girl leaned back and sighed, " You've been sleeping like someone was after you, the name's Tetra, Captain of the Pirate ship 'The Hyperion'. What's your name?". Dark Link sighed and looked out the window, "It's none of your business.". Tetra rolled her eyes and stood up, " You know, we're both going to die if we don't find a way out right?". Dark Link nodded and stood up also, " And how do you suppose we do that?" he said a bit irritated by the woman who woke him up, and the fact he already had a serious flaw in his new permanent record. Tetra laughed and looked around for guards, " you see, these guards are by far the worst in the world, I checked earlier to see if the bolts in the window and they're loose but only now the guards seem to be on break... wanna help me out? You seem like a strong man.". Dark Link remembered his promise to Malon and walked up to the window, pulling the rails off with little difficulty, " You said it was loose, not well... not" . He was cut off by the girl pulling herself out the window, " Hurry up you fool! They'll catch us!," she exclaimed as she finally hopped out. Dark Link sighed and did the same, " Ok, we're out, let's go!". He was about to run off when Tetra stopped him, " You retarded idiot!" she whispered loudly, " We need some sort of cover!". Tetra let down her hair and applied some make-up and a wig, " You'll be my ummm big brother Arthur. And we'll be travelers from the distant land Terminia? Kapeesh?".
Dark Link nodded and the pair walked casually out of the prison guards stopped them. " I do not remember seeing you two coming in? State your names!" the guard commanded fiercely. Tetra pretended to cry and looked down, " My f...father...h...he was a pirate and" the woman bit her lip, she was indeed an excellent actor, a little better than Malon. Tetra looked down and a fake tear dropped on the dirt, " He is... the king wishes to behead him, in about a week and this is the last time we shall see him again..." Tetra dropped down looking at the ground sobbing in a way as if it were real when the guard kneeled down. "I'm sorry miss but your father should have never resorted to piracy, no matter what." the guard said with barely any sympathy. Tetra stood up and wiped her eyes, " I suppose you are correct, we are travelers from the distant land Terminia, my brother Arthur, and I, Esperanza. We meant no harm... and wish to leave back to our lands to report the sad news to our poor mother." Tetra held back a smirk professionally and the guard opened the gate and allowed them to pass through with ease.
Once the two were at a safe distance from the prison Tetra couldn't help but laugh, " They're all suckers!" she exclaimed with a huge grin on her face. Dark Link noticed they weren't headed towards any towns and looked confused, " Umm, where are we going, we seem to be headed towards to forest! We'll be turned into Stalfos!" . Tetra laughed again and continued running, " Not necessarily, A friend of mine developed a potion that allows us to past through the woods freely! He's a wonderful man, he lives in Lake Hylia! Wonderful man I tell ya!". They continued running and Dark Link looked at the Castle Town, the drawbridge was up and there was no turning back now, Malon would have to go looking for him. The young man sighed loudly and looked towards the ranch. " Hey, T..." he was cut off yet again. " It's Captain Tetra to you from now on! Since there is no other place for you to go , you'll join my crew!". Dark Link gasped and continued looking at the ranch," Aye Captain Tetra..." he said unenthusiastically. " Do you suppose... I can sleep somewhere for tonight... then we can go in the morning?" Dark Link said, almost a whisper. " Of Course you can't kid! We must arrive at the coast before daybreak and it is almost midnight! You must only communicate all loved ones through mail! I'm sorry lad!" replied Tetra still smiling. They were now at the bridge that led into the Kokiri Forest. Tetra handed Dark Link a glowing potion, " You gotta take it in order to enter!" she said bossily, as if they were already on the Hyperion. Dark Link stared at it for a second and gulped it down, " That wasn't half bad! Kind of sweet!" he said as he walked into the Forest. Tetra nodded and tapped Dark Link on the shoulder, " Yup! That ol' man sure does make potions taste at least a bit pleasant." And the two were off towards the Seashore to meet the rest of the crew.
William leaned back and sighed, " Well, it was nice knowing Ol' Tareven... he was a great guy, told some really great jokes... but alot of the times he did seem awkwardly depressed. At least he will leave that depression.". Genevieve frowned and slapped Will, " That's not right! I'm sure Tareven will surely escape prison and receive the justice he deserves!" The young woman stood up boldly and noticed Link laughing behind her. Link sighed, and took a sip of his drink, " Well, we sure don't know dear old Tareven do we? Especially you Malon!" he said as he took a seat on the left of Malon. Malon sighed and looked down, " You were wrong, Tareven loved me... he never raped me or murdered anyone... I loved him back and now you are angry... I'm sorry, but you no longer have the place in my heart as you used to. You used to be my dear friend, like my brother, you used to support my dreams but now that they have been fulfilled you have crushed my heart severely. I am deeply saddened milord but..." Malon looked at Link and her sad expression now changed to an angry one, full of coldness and hatred, " I'm sorry milord... but I no longer love you like I used to... I hate you...". Link looked shocked and felt his heart crushed. He always wished to have a sister and Malon was the closest thing to a sibling he had. Now he ruined it, he ruined the perfect relationship they had. Malon was now a serious woman. Now bold and mature, no longer the bubbly, playful girl she once was. She would no longer call him Fairy Boy, but now she called him milord, for he was now a young man, the head of military. Link leaned back and sighed, his eyes wide with shock, " But... Malon.." he whispered softly and the red-headed maiden stared at him coldly. " I hate you milord. I hate you more than anything else in this world. I used to love you. i loved you as if you were my brother and once, as if I wanted to marry you. You ruined it all . You rejected me for the princess who shall never be able to marry you, and once I fall in love again ... you..." Malon paused for a brief moment and her deep glare made Link's heart break further, as if it were made of glass and Malon threw it down and smashed it with a hammer. Malon stood up and nearly threw her necklace at him, " When I fell in love with him... you took him away from me. Do you know I can't even return to my father?! I have nobody else left in this world and it's all you're fault! I hate you! You're nothing more than a mere grain of dirt to me! Worst! You are nothing! I hope this is getting to you milord! I hope it is the one thing that breaks you down because you ruined my life tonight! You used to be my good friend but now you are my worst enemy. I hope you die of guilt because I am now dieing of the pain you have caused me!".
Malon stopped and calmed down, removing her necklace and showed it to him as she sat down, " Look at it... do you think a cruel murderer would give it to me? Do you know what a red butterfly represented in the days of old?". Link stared at it sadly and looked at her sighing, " It is quite a..." but Malon cut him off sharply, " Answer the question milord, you've already ruined my life twice... I already have enough reasons to hate you, don't make me hate you for changing subjects as well..." Link sighed, " They believed if you gave it someone you loved it would bind you two for eternity, even in death...". Malon nodded, " Does he seem like a cruel and evil man? Do I look like a fool? I know what I'm doing, I knew what I was doing when I taught you my mother's song, I knew what I was doing when I gave you an chance to win Epona, do I seem like to turn into a complete idiot? Do I look stupid to you milord?!".
Link shook his head, " I'm ... I am sorry Malon...but it's my turn to tell you how I feel!". Link stood up and handed the necklace back to her. " Malon, I am deeply saddened by the fact that you hate me but I still love you! Don't you forget that! I may love Zelda and nothing is going to change that and I will love her even in death! Don't you think I know that I can never marry her?! Did you know I proposed to her once! And I plan to do it again! Even though I know she shall forever say nay, I do it to tell her I will love her forever since saying 'I love you' isn't always enough. But even though I shall never marry Zelda, did you know I loved you first?" Link seemed like he was about to cry, his voice was shaky and his eyes were watery " You were the one who acted uninterested Malon! You are the one who wanted your knight, and you have your knight, but you are just can't face the truth about him Malon! You are now like my younger sister and I'll love you... forever. Must I walk on water to prove so? Should I kill myself and awake unharmed? Pick one Malon! Malon?" His breath was still shaky and he sat down and leaned on Malon's shoulder crying. One of the few people he loved in the world now hated him. Men cry very differently than women. When women cry, they often cry a bit more peacefully than men, with silent sobs, they often hide their faces as if they are guilty for whatever they are crying about. Even though they may seem as if they have recovered the pain often lingers in their hearts for days depending on the situation. However, men , when they cry, they are a bit louder, they sometimes don't know how to handle it since they don't cry as much as women. They sob louder and it sometimes sounds as if they cry so hard they have a hard time breathing. (A/N: I know this because I've seen my father cry and it is by far the most sad thing to see my daddy cry, same with my half-brother and many other men)
Malon looked down at Link. He reminded her of the little boy he used to be. When Link was a child, he always seemed serious, but always had a faint sadness and fear in him. It looked as if the fear and sadness left the boy, now a man. Link laid down, resting his head on Malon's lap still sobbing. She felt guilty for hurting Link, after all he has been so nice to her till recently. Malon looked up and faintly smiled, tears streaming down her cheeks of porcelain and her sweet soothing voice began to sing, a song she remembered her mother used to sing to her as a baby. The song was a sad one, one that matched her mood yet caught the attention of others for she did have a beautiuful voice. It was a song that made her peers sad and gave them an idea of how she felt. And these are the words Fair Malon of Lon Lon sang.
They say back in the days of old
There was an old legend once told
Of beautiful and fair young Mariel
And of young Dareleme
O' Mariel was once so fair
With deep blue eyes and long black hair
Her skin was white as the snow and clouds
Nobody knew she was around
She slept by day and walked by night
Her black hair glowed in the bright moonlight
Her cries were faint and often blurred
For no one ever heard
Brave Daraleme who loved Mariel
Was ashamed and he would never tell
He was too late to save the young girl
Who was ignored by the world
One night as Mariel walked past
The deep green dew covered grass
Of The Sheikah town Of Kakoriko
Her cries were unknown
A thief had killed the lass
And stolen all the things she had
Left her there on the ground
But she was never found
Young Daraleme who was away
In the ocean so far away
Heard rumors of Mariels death
The girl ignored by the rest
Poor Daraleme looked out at the sea
And cried out one last thing
" Mariel I hath loved thee
I wished you to wear my ring"
He looked into the sea of foam
He no longer wanted to ever roam
For His love was dead and his heart was saddened
He plunged himself into the sea
Nobody remembers poor Mariel
The legend is rarely told
They never heard of the sad prince
Who's name was Daraleme...

Malon looked up and faintly smiled, tears streaming down her cheeks of porcelain and her sweet soothing voice began to sing, a song she remembered her mother used to sing to her as a baby. The song was a sad one, one that matched her mood yet caught the attention of others for she did have a beautiuful voice. It was a song that made her peers sad and gave them an idea of how she felt. And these are the words Fair Malon of Lon Lon sang.
They say back in the days of old
There was an old legend once told
Of beautiful and fair young Mariel
And of young Dareleme
O' Mariel was once so fair
With deep blue eyes and long black hair
Her skin was white as the snow and clouds
Nobody knew she was around
She slept by day and walked by night
Her black hair glowed in the bright moonlight
Her cries were faint and often blurred
For no one ever heard
Brave Daraleme who loved Mariel
Was ashamed and he would never tell
He was too late to save the young girl
Who was ignored by the world
One night as Mariel walked past
The deep green dew covered grass
Of The Sheikah town Of Kakoriko
Her cries were unknown
A thief had killed the lass
And stolen all the things she had
Left her there on the ground
But she was never found
Young Daraleme who was away
In the ocean so far away
Heard rumors of Mariels death
The girl ignored by the rest
Poor Daraleme looked out at the sea
And cried out one last thing
" Mariel I hath loved thee
I wished you to wear my ring"
He looked into the sea of foam
He no longer wanted to ever roam
For His love was dead and his heart was saddened
He plunged himself into the sea
Nobody remembers poor Mariel
The legend is rarely told
They never heard of the sad prince
Who's name was Daraleme...
