DISCLAIMER: I own none of the original Zelda characters, but I created Sarah, and Miaku II is a little in question as I made him up but used their name.

Prologue

            This is a love story. But not any love story. This is a love story with Action. This love story has Adventure. But most of all, this is a love story with morals.

            First  there's that "Girls are just as brave as boys". That goes without saying. Sarah has as much bravery as Link, but as video he

they say in the beginning there was one

but by the end nobody is alone

for in the beginning there were 3

and it is a curse to be alone

but wisdom is lost while knowledge is gained

and people now have to feel alone

but really in this blessed land

no one is ever really alone

The Diary of Princess Sarah Timeheart, daughter of Link and Zelda.

From the files of Miaku L. Zoriniam Jr.

June 14th

            Met a boy today. He was a Zora. I called him fish boy. I'm so board

July 2nd

            The above words were written the year I turned 14, 15 NE. In case you didn't know, NE stands for New Era. In other words, it's been 15 (or is it 16? lets see, it starts with, 0 or 1? I don't know.) years since my dad saved Hyrule and left to pursue his own destiny. Well, so the books say. He actually only left for a year, and came back and mom had me. Actually, he saved it several years before, but there was a counting error. Sort of. Anyways, he returned to the past, then one day it had been 7 years for him (he only saved the future, not the past) and all of the sudden Hyrule was saved and my parents got married. the history books will be wrong.

            Wait! I started talking about Miaku II, and ended up talking about the past! you see, I want to be a historian when I grow up, in addition to the princess. Anyways, it turns out the boy I wrote about earlier is named Miaku the Second, son of the great Miaku, whom they took from the past to rule the future (heck, my dad's the hero of TIME, remember?) of the Zoras, and he married the princess/sage Ruto because she reminded him of some fish-girl in the past in the other dimension. So, anyways, he linked the two worlds. And his son is a real hunk. We had a sort of summer romance, but I told him my dad was a diplomat. He hates being called fish-boy.

6/24/2015

                     That pretty girl was here again today. She says her dad's a diplomat. He seems WAAAY too rich to be a diplomat. Maybe he's a GOOD diplomat. Maybe he's taking bribes

7/15

            Wrote a new song today. It goes like this:

there's an answer in my soul but just what is the question

and there's a question in my heart... but what's the answer

then the bridge can go:

I've got a question

I've got an answer

But how do I put them together?

Does the answer

Ask the question

Or does

The question have an answer?

Man, that's rockin. Japas would be proud.

July 21

            Anyways, we like to surf at the beach. "Surfing" is a sport Miaku says is very important in his culture. I'd never heard of it either. They take a rounded-end plank that floats (a mystery to me, too), stand on it, and ride it on top of the waves. Strangely, I have a flair for it. Will wonders never cease!!

            Anyways, we're at the beach for the summer. He has NO IDEA who I really am. If he knew, he'd try to get close to me to get my dad's autograph or something. Believe me, it's happened.

July 22

            Continuing my history, I live in Hyrule County, in the capital city of Hyrule, in the land of New Hyrule. Right now, we're vacationing in Clock County, in a mansion on the western sea. Dad goes to meetings in Clock Town every day, while Mom hangs out and rides on the plains. Can you believe Dad ACTUALLY lets her ride EPONA!!! His beloved horse!!! HE doesn't even let MALON ride her!!!!

            Me, I have her foal, Eponina. Her name is a combination of Epona and niña, which I believe means little girl in one of those forgotten dialects, Latin or Greek or something.

            Anyways, that's why I'm here with the dreamiest fish boy on the planet.

July 23

            Since Miaku I is officially dead, his son is now old enough to officially rule the Zoras in about a year. His dad is only 25, as he died at 30 and they wanted enough time to choose another ruler if Miaku II died or anything. He says he's not looking forward to ruling such a vast amount of people! I slipped and said " me neither", and he gave me a strange look until I said "I'm no looking forward to your rule either. Who would want to be ruled by a fish boy?" Then I gave him my dreamiest smile so he'd go along with it. He's so dense. What a hunk.

7/30

            I'm going to Hyrule today. Maybe I should write a song about it. Only I can't get her out of my head. It, I mean. The other song. I don't like girls. Why would I like girls? They don't appreciate good music. Besides, Zora girls are much prettier. If I liked girls. Which I don't. But I will once I'm crowned. Then I can like girls. I'll have to like girls. I'll need a queen. But not human girls. They're icky.

            But if I don't like girls, why did I just write a paragraph about them? That's silly. I'm all confused. Must be the stress of vacationing.

            ACH! I JUST WROTE 2.5 PARAGRAPHS ABOUT GIRLS!!

8/2

         Apparently Sarah lives in Hyrule. But I don't care. I'm her surfing teacher, that's all. It's good for me to teach something I love. Notice, that's not teach SOMEONE I love, but SOMETHING I love. Surfing I love. Surfing. not Sarah. Surfing.

August 8

            Mom's missing!!! I think Dad will go rescue her again. He's good at that sort of thing. She'll be back in no time. I bet he's looking forward to it. I bet he'll think this adventure is tame, compared to what he's been through. I wish I could go on adventures and save Hyrule. But no, I have to learn stichery and cooking and junk like that, just like mom.

            You know, I think Dad has a problem with girls fighting. I think he thinks that girls can't fight. I think he thinks girls should be housewives and men should bring home the bacon. He's SO old-fashioned. Girls can TOO fight! I bet Mom would felt the same way while Dad was off saving Hyrule. He doesn't talk about it much, but I know from the history books that mom just kind of sat around until he could go in the castle, then she got captured by the evil Gannondorf or something and he had to save her. Personally, I bet Mom was trying to be brave and save Hyrule herself when she got captured. But I don't think she had enough guts. Not like me. I have enough guts for an ARMY!!

August 10

            Dad still hasn't left yet. He probably is waiting for a ransom so he knows where she is. Man, he's cool!

August 11

            Dad left today. I begged him to let me go, but he just looked sad. I bet I'm a disappointment to him. I bet he was thinking he'll NEVER marry me off. And that's right. I prefer to rescue my men. That way they'll worship the ground I walk on.

August 13

            The mages in the North wing look worried. I TOLD them Dad won't be home yet, that it may take a few months or even a year, depending on who's got Mom captive and how many dungeons he has to defeat, but this news didn't cheer them up any. I wonder if something's wrong? Nah. I bet they're just being worrywarts. How could anything happen to my dad? He's invincible!!

8/15

   Killer waves out on the lake today. Sarah hasn't shown for lessons lately. Oh well. Not like care. She's prolly just too embarrassed to be seen talking to a half-breed like me. Maybe her high-and-mighty Diplomat Father said she can't come. Pooey on all them

August 20

            Tomorrow I begin tutoring again. I don't like my latest tutor, Mr. Gabora. Actually, he's my only tutor, but in the novels princesses ALWAYS go through tutors like that. Oh, and that dreamy fish boy? He's vacationing at the lake this month! He's going to stay an extra month now that I've seen him out on Hyrule Plains. I told him I live in Hyrule Castle Town, which is strictly true, since the town is right by the castle, and I think the castle is technically within city limits. I'll have to find out. Or not. I don't want to be proved a liar.

9/2

            They're calling out all brave men to save our beloved king. I expect saving the king of Hyrule would please Sarah. Then she wouldn't be too ashamed to be seen talking to me. You know, she won't tell me her last name? That's just so... Gnarly! I think she's twisted. She needs to come to grips with whatever's bummen her out. I'll sign up today.

Sept. 3

            Something dreadful has happened to Dad, I just know it. No-one will tell me what. I will go bully the mages until I know more. they seem to know the most.

Later

    I knew it! Dad's been captured! He sent out a distress signal! Yippee! Now I can go save him! I know he's not dead or anything because he's DAD for Pete's sake! So he's probably alright, just fallen into a pit. Won't he be surprised to see his darling little girl come waltzing in with a rope to let him out! Of course he'll let me come along for the rest of it. I can just picture it: us back to back, swords in hand, fighting a whole crowd of zombies! This will be so much FUN!! Nobody else seems to share my sentiment, though.

9/3

   I'm the only one to sign up. They say I'm the bravest man in two kingdoms! That'll impress her, for sure.

9/10

   Left for the forest where King Timeheart was last seen. Brought food, bandages, and my guitar.

Sept. 11

            It's not FAIR!!! I wanted to save him, and who gets to go? MIAKU II!!!!!!!!! I should have KNOWN Dad would mess things up! He made my attendants PROMISE not to let me leave the castle grounds, no matter WHAT happens!! THIS BITES!!!!!!!! Sometimes I feel like nobody understands me. I just feel so... alone.

Sept. 12

            I'll disguise myself as a man and go save him myself. I won't pack anything. I'll just GO. I found a sketch of a Shekiah named Shiek tucked inside a history book. I made myself a costume like that. I'll be a Shekiah named Sheik, just like he was. It's the perfect alias! Nobody will know who I am, and I can save my dad. I suppose I'll have to save fish boy every so often, also. COOL!!!

Sept 13

            Found Fish boy. Apparently the signal came from beyond the forest, but Miaku's still inside. I know these woods well. Dad and I would go on fishing trips. I have a sword, but I know that wounded creatures fight harder and that you can get away or up a tree if you throw a Deku Nut. That was when I was little, before Dad realized I would never need to know how to survive in the forest. As it is, I know that the weak spot on a Wolfos, no matter where or what type, is it's but. I think I can handle myself in the forest.

9/18

                                                                                                   I thought of a better bridge to my song I wrote about Sarah. No, it's not about Sarah. Why did I write that? That's crazy talk. anyways, the bridge goes:

Love is the question

Yes is the answer

When is the question

Now

See, you wonder if the question is "when" now, or if the question is "when" and the answer is "now". Only I'm not in love with Sarah. I'm not in love with anyone. Sarah's just cool. And nice. And dreamy. And beautiful.

Ok, maybe I like her a little bit.

Sept. 19

            I have picked up Miaku's trail and am about 1/2 day's march from his camp. When he goes to gather fresh water, I'll steal his supplies. He'll have to turn back and I'll go on in his place.

9/20

            I think a wolfos made off with my supplies. But I'm sure there's a pond around here somewhere with fish. I can smell water

Sept. 20

            I DON'T BELIVE THIS!!! He's ACTUALLY going ONWARD still! He has NO supplies or ANYTHING!! I'll follow him to see what he does.

Sept. 21

            I've lost him. Great. Wonderful. He's in the forest, alone, with no supplies and no knowledge, and I've lost him.

9/22

            Oh, this is just perfect. I found the beast that stole my food. I sent my fins at it, but it leaped too quick. It managed to bang up my leg pretty badly. I'm really hungry and disoriented, and now I can't walk. I suppose I'll just lay here and starve to death. Farewell, cruel world!

Sept. 23

            I found him. His leg is chewed on, and he seems to have walked until he collapsed of injuries or of hunger. He's not dead yet, though. He'll see me for SURE if I tend to him.

            He hasn't moved yet. I wonder what he needs? If it's food, I may be able to through some nuts down from a tree. I'll try that.

            No response.

            Of COURSE!!! He's a fish, he needs WATER! I'll have to take the risk. His leg looks pretty bad. No way he can get to water. I'll risk being turned in, then. Dad will be angry when he's rescued if he finds out, but worse, he'll be concerned. He'll never let me out of the palace again! But what are my dreams compared to his LIFE? I'll tend to him, but I'll try to stay secretive. Most of all, I won't speak. He'd recognize my voice through the disguise.

9/24

            A Gnarly forest dude healed my leg and gave me some food and water. Last night I had a dream of a temple, with the king inside. I woke up with a detailed map in my head. But I get the feeling I'm just a guide. Oh well. I'm just sooooo thankful to be alive. I was wondering if Sarah would miss me. I think I was delirious

Sept. 24

            He's on the mend. I left him a salve I made to apply to his leg. He did. He hasn't heard tales or evil witches, I'm sure. In any case, he'll be ready to move out in a day or so. He has food and water. I'll follow him, he seems to know where daddy is

9/25

            I found the temple. It says only one can enter. I have no idea who It's talking about. I guess I'll just sit here and think about it. All of the sudden, though, I can't concentrate. I can only think about Sarah. This is a bad sign.

Sept. 25

            We've started off, and I see a temple of sorts on a rise. We are out of the bounds of the country now, and I see a plain before the endless sea that surrounds us. The books say that the forest ends at the sea, but apparently they didn't know of the plains. oh well.

Sept. 27

            Last night I snuck out to the temple to see why Miaku didn't enter. An inscription there reads:

Kokori green

turned to water's blue

turned to fire's red

by the one who knew

he knew of the fires that burned deep inside

he knew of the forest, the best place to hide

he knew of the lake, deep and wide

he knew of the ice that has two sides

only one may enter here

so try it if you dare

not he that knows or she that grows

but the one with beauty fair

not the warrior brave and tall

not the prophet who directs it all

not their friends, though try they might

but the one descended from he who set it all right.

No wonder Miaku wouldn't go in! How cryptic! I guess neither parent of mine could enter the temple. I wonder what happened? If Mom found this place she'd try to enter, and would be trapped. Dad would not be the one, since he may know a lot but he's not descended form anyone noble or anything. I wonder who it is? "He that set it all right" seems like the same person as "he who knows". Who knows a lot? Maybe my tutor. But I have to try to enter, even if it means being trapped for a while. Prophecies always come true, and temples meant to be opened always are. I'll try in the morning.

Sept. 28

            I went in all right. Now the three of us are stuck in a deep pit, but I can make a light to write by. Hold on, what's this? There seems to be something else in this pit! Something is shining in here. There is a thingy over there. Dad says he can't see it. Strange. I wonder if his vision is going? It's glowing, so that's how I found it. I'll go get it for them to look at.

            Whoa! It's a piece of the sacred Triforce! Should I touch it?

            Am I kidding?!?!! Of course! It may be sacred, but it could be a way OUT if this foul place!!

 Sept. 29

            What happened in that pit is still a mystery to me, so I'll write it down. When I tried to enter the temple, I fell into a dark, sandy pit. I made a light to see by and saw my parents sitting nearby. My mom giggled a bit, but Dad jumped up and said "Stay away! I finished with you a long time ago. I thought I unmasked you!" until mom explained that it was me and I backed her up on that. He said I looked like my mother. I wonder why he would say that? I know I do, but why would that scare him?

            Anyways, I started to write in my diary when I saw something glowing. Neither one of them could see it, so  brought it over for them. Once I realized it was a piece of a Triforce, I wrote about it in my diary. Then I brought it over to them so they could see.

            Suddenly, it flew out of my hands. Astonishingly enough, 2 other pieces flew out of my parent's hands! I didn't know they had found the other 2!! Maybe that's the secret: you need 3 people to put it all together. Anyways, they joined together and I heard a wild, fairy-like laughter fill the air, only more fairy-like than fairies, and more real than reality. In that moment, it seemed like the only thing that actually existed was the laughter. And in my mind sort of, a poem was recited by the laugher:

The circle is closed

the cycle completed

like father like daughter

forevermore

true love awaits

at the end of each journey

lovers awake

and return to each other

The voice sounded like a few people for the poem, and then I awoke in a clearing with mom and dad. only I wasn't asleep, so I'm not sure how I awoke. I think. I'm so confused. But one thing I understand now. Only one thing. But it's the one that matters.

9/29

            Ok, ok. I admit it. I love her. I LOVE HER! I LOVE SARAH! But I don't even know her last name! It's hopeless. I'll never see her again. I think the reason I went on this silly quest was to find that out. And to prove that I'm a coward. I should have gone inside the silly temple while I had the chance, but no. And now it's disappeared. I'll have to find it again. I should try and seek out that odd forest girl in green that gave me directions to it. Or the mysterious stranger who helped me out along the way.

9/30

            Today I saw that stranger I mentioned before. She came into the clearing and walked towards me. I started to thank her but she shushed me. Then she began unwrapping her face mask. To my surprise, guess who turned up but Sarah! It turns out, she loves me as much as I love her! We were meant to be. She kissed me under the trees. When she turned to go, I asked, "but how will I find you again?" and she answered" call for me at the castle."!!! It turns out, she's not just amazing Sarah, she's Princess Sarah Timeheart! I'm in love with the PRINCESS!!! Talk about a happy ending!!!

Oct. 1

            I suppose I'll never know what happened because there are some things I'll never know about Dad. I think a lot of what happened to me wouldn't happen to anyone else, just me. I think it's because of Dad that most of it happened. I don't think I should dwell on the past. I have a whole future ahead of me! I think I'll begin taking vacations to the woods, or maybe stay with the Kokori. I'm not searching for answers, I'm merely allowing Fate to take its course. I'm sure if I get out of the castle enough, something's BOUND to happen! And maybe someday I'll meet someone who knew dad when he was out adventuring. But I won't go looking for them. Oh, and Miaku decided not to go on anymore adventures. He's brave, but a complete idiot when it comes to survival. He'd rather concentrate on his music. I think he'd be better off AWAY from the wilderness. Unless I'm there, of course!
