Disclaimer: I don't own Zelda or Link, Mr. Miyamoto does unfortunately (is
that how you spell his name??)… Well, I do not own the little part of the
song I put in here either, thought I love it so much, kk? Lets get going!
A/N: Hey sorry but the story is coming to an end ^_^; well this chapter made me cry when I was writing it so be prepared to go get the tissue box! I can't believe I did it this way…Darn, look at me I am like almost giving it away… well get the hankies now and let's go!
I am going to find her and I will not let that piece of… Link was cut off by the sound of Epona's heavy breathing. He still urged her to go faster, though he knew she was out of breath and tired. "Please, Epona…just a little further. I just have to get Zelda," he lovingly patted his horse as she ran even faster as if she understood the situation. "Thanks girl…" Link returned his gaze to the horizon in front of him. The sun was slowly setting now and soon it would be dark. He was sure they were almost there, they should make it before nightfall. He had to get Zelda before the sun set, for if her didn't he wouldn't be able to find the old temple. Then an odd stone building jutted out into his view, casting a shadow on them. The sun was lowering even faster now, though the building blocked it. "That's it girl…" he jumped off and tied Epon to a nearby tree. "Wish me good luck," he said to the newly placed moon overhead.
As soon as he entered the temple he got that odd feeling in his body. It started in his stomach and spread the farthest reaches of his hands, head, and feet. "I found you my friend…" he said to the shadows knowing he was right when he came here. Which way do I go? He knew he should try to be as silent as possible, but that was hard because with each step he took there was and echo, taunting him. Then as if the silence around him heard his question it answered. It wasn't really the silence that answered; it was Zelda. She had screamed and it pointed Link in the right direction. Not caring about the taunting silence anymore, he ran in the direction he felt her scream had come from. With each determined step there was an equal shattering noise. The noise echoed all around him so it seemed there were a million Links. He had no idea which way to go really, only depending on a scream that really, now that he thought of it, seamed as if it came from all around. But he kept on running. The wind rushed past him and he had no time at all to survey his surroundings. He had just taken a sharp turn around a corner that led to a long hallway. At the end if it he could faintly see a dark chamber that had fog billowing out into the corridor. He slowed down and unsheathed the Master Sword. Almost instinctively, he bravely and swiftly walked towards the dark chamber.
As Zelda awoke once again, she felt weak as if the life had been drained out of her completely. She was barely conscious. I'll just use my magic to replenish my energy, she reasoned with herself. She thought she was currently alone, so she didn't try to hide the fact that she was summoning a spell. Dark Link watched from the shadows amused. Zelda concentrated as she felt the energy she had left circulating through her body. It was working. She felt more energy rushing through her every living cell. Then, for no apparent reason, a loud crackling noise and sparks flew out of her hands. She shrieked from shock and stumbled onto her back. "Oww…" she quickly sat up, wondering what had just happened. My magic…it's…it's gone…How can this be? Dark Link… she looked up once again into steel eyes of darkness. This time she didn't bother to look away, she didn't even flinch. "Don't try to use your magic dear, you'll just end up even more tired and helpless that before," he stared in her eyes, his trance was defiant. She couldn't look away now even of she tried. She needed Link, she couldn't save herself with out her magic…not her. As if Link had heard her plea, he entered the room. The first thing he saw was Zelda. Oh thank the goddesses she's all right! He quietly walked towards her and Dark Link, silently telling Zelda not to give his appearance away. She understood and said nothing. Dark Link noticed something different about Zelda, she seemed confident, not as venerable as before. Something had changed…but what? Then it hit him, hard. Literally, Link had plunged the Master Sword deep into Dark Link's back. Link stood there above them looking down at Zelda and…it. The pain was unbearable; he had to clutch the wall for support so he wouldn't fall over. He knew by hitting Dark Link and killing him he could possibly kill himself…but he had to save Zelda. He looked at Zelda, her eyes were red and her cheeks moist. Dark Link had rolled away. Leaving a gap between Link and Zelda that they quickly closed. "I'm sorry Zelda.." Link said through gritted teeth, "I told you I wouldn't get hurt unless it was all right with you…" he collapsed into her. Before he fell she quickly held her arms out to catch him. Laying his head in her lap once again she whispered something that sounded like I love you but he couldn't tell. His senses were slowly fading. "Please don't leave me Link, I need you! You saved me and I cant even cure you…oh Link…I failed," she leaned down and gently kissed him on the lips. Tears spilled down her face and fell onto Link's unruly hair. He slowly raised his hand the cradle her chin, then he parted and looked in her eyes. I can't die and leave her…she's so wonderful, I hate to see her in pain. He slowly raised himself and grunted with pain. "Apparently you don't know your magic very well," Link said to Dark Link as he raised from the floor. "Oh course I do you fool," it had worked; he was going to cure himself. Link could only hope that would help him. I am ready to die for you Zelda, if that's what I have to do to kill him…and save you. With those last thoughts Link untied Zelda from the wall and told her to go get Epona and ride home. "But, Link I couldn't possibly leave you…" he wasn't in the mood to argue so he let it drop and told her to get back then. He walked up to Dark Link who, by now had revealed his own sword. "Prepare to die," Link said as he slashed into Dark Link's body with his sword, ignoring the pain it caused him. They battled with equal skill, neither of them making any flaws. Link watched carefully, waiting for Dark Link to make a mistake. It didn't come for what seemed like hours. They both were by now two bloody, torn figures, both losing energy fast. Then the mistake came. Dark Link lunged at Link, sword pointed straight out, preparing to do through his heart. Link moved and tripped Dark Link. Not bothering to kill him then with multiple slashes, he instead charged his sword. As Dark Link rose he quickly turned around to face Link. "Taste my blade, bastard!" Link let the Master Sword fly and it hit Dark Link in the stomach and face more than once. He fell to the floor in defeat, dead before he was shrouded in fog. Link had won; he finally won. Zelda was safe and no matter what happened he was happy now. The nightmare would never come back. Link didn't even notice when Zelda ran over to him, finding he had collapsed on the floor, out of exhaustion and pain. "Oh, Link thank you so much. I love you, oh Link I love you!" she nuzzled his head against hers, tears splattering both of their faces. Her golden hair gave them a curtain, sheltering them from fears they had had not a moment ago. "I love you too Zel…" she quieted him with a finger," shhh…you need to rest, you're hurt badly," she looked into his half-closed eyes and feared the worst. "Zelda," he grabbed her hand in his, "I fought to save you and I did. That's all I wanted. I fear I am in too bad of a condition to well…live…" he had to look away from her. She was pleading him with those eyes. Not to go away… not to die… "You aren't going to die Link! We'll get you back to the castle and we'll save you…Link you can't die…I love you," he returned his gaze to her, feeling all his energy leaving. "I've won many battles and I've lost some too. I won this one, but lost my love…my live for it all. That…it doesn't bother me. I saved you and now you may live without worrying," he had to pause and gain his strength back, it as so hard to talk. His blood was spilling onto Zelda's dress, and there was even some on her lips from when she had kissed him. "I want you to go and live life to the fullest Zelda. I want you to marry someone you love and have ten children! But please promise you wont forget me, please?" he looked up at Zelda and waited for her response. "But Link…I love you! I don't want to marry anyone but you…I want to live with YOU forever! Please don't go, I love you." She tried to gain her Hero again but it was no use, he was right. He was dying. "Zelda these are my last wishes…please because you love me, and I you, do this for me, live the best DAMNED life you can!" that took to much energy he was slipping fast. He felt the dark beckoning to him…to close his eyes to sleep, forever. "All right, but Link I will never love anyone as much as you, I will always love you…sleep well my love and live the life you wished to live…only better. And I will live the life you wanted me to, a happy one. Though I won't be as happy without you, I will never forget you! And I promise you this, you are always in my heart…" Zelda lowered her head once again as Link raised his hand to her face and their lips met for the most passionate, romantic kiss you could ever wish for. They didn't part until Zelda felt Link inhale his last breath and his hand slid down her face to rest on her lap. He's not dead, he can't be…please Link wake up, wake up! She opened her eyes to lay them on her hero. To this day Zelda doesn't know how it happened but she had somehow managed to lift Link's body up and lay her head on his sweat and blood stained chest and fell asleep in the arms of her hero…
Ten years later…
It had been ten years since Link had died. He got the royal and proper burial a hero and Zelda's love should get. Though she did get married and fell in love with another person, she never stopped loving Link, and never forgot him. Not but three years ago she gave birth to a handsome young boy. In Link's honor, Zelda named the child after him. He had sandy blonde hair and wild blue eyes, filled with curiosity. He had the spunk and courage of Link. Oh how he reminded Zelda of her love. They way he would playfully chase the butterflies in the royal gardens and the way he would hold his mother's hand as they took long walks. Most of the time they were accompanied by his father, that Zelda dearly loved also…but nobody she ever met was quite like Link. One day when she had thought Impa had gone to the market and had taken Link along with her she came to a hidden spot only the two Links and herself knew about. She sat there and finished the rest of the song she had been making for Link. She played it on her Sheikah harp and it sent soothing chills up your spine. As she sat there thinking of how to finish the song, young Link watched her sing the final song;
How will I solve tomorrow without you here?
Whose heart will guide me when all the answers disappear?
Is it too late?
Are you too far gone to stay?
Best friends forever,
you should've never of had to go away.
What will I do?
You know I'm all we have without you.
How will I make it through…?
If only tears could bring you back to me.
If only love could find a way...
What I would do, what I would give if you returned to me,
someday, somehow, someway…
If my tears could bring you back to me…
I've cried you an ocean,
if you'll sail on home again.
Waves of emotion will carry you and all they can.
Just let flow guide you and your heart will jot the course.
Soon you'll be drifting into the arms of your true north.
Look in my eyes,
you'll see a million tears have gone by,
and still they're not dry…
If only tears could bring you back to me.
If only love could find a way...
What I would do, what I would give if you returned to me,
someday, somehow, someway…
If my tears could bring you back to me…
1 I hold you close and shout the words I've only whispered before,
for one more chance, for one last dance…
there's not a thing I would not endure!
If only tears could bring you back to me.
If only love could find a way..
What I would do, what I would give if you returned to me,
someday, somehow, someway…
If my tears could bring you back to me…
"Oh Link, how I miss you…" Zelda whispered to the flowers when she had finished. Tears glistened to in her eyes. "That was pretty mommy! When did you make that?" Link asked playfully as he walked out from behind a bush startling his mother. "Oh, Link! You frightened me. That song…well I made it a long time, for a very close friend who died to save me. I loved him you know? Very much so…just like your father, but I daresay more…" she trailed off as her son can over and sat next to her. "Did he like you too mommy?" he asked innocently. "Well, I really do think so…" she reached for his hand and pulled him on her lap to give him a kiss on the forehead. "You remind me a lot of Link. I named you after him. Maybe one day you will meet him, I'll take you to his grave soon if you wish..." she looked up slowly, sensing something. When she looked up she saw him. Link was standing right in front of her. "I did love you Zel, and still you…" he bent down and gave her a tender kiss on the lips before he disappeared again. "Was that you hero mommy?" Link shook her out of her trance. "Yes, that was my love and hero…"
The End
