Sky-Blue Eyes Chapter 8
And so Zelda went and became Sheik, and helped Link out on his quest, teaching him the ancient songs of her people, the now-all-but-extinct Shekiah. And she knew that Link trusted her, and had no idea who she was. She hated lying to him, but it was part of her training to protect herself. So she remined Sheik, for she knew that Ganon would find her the instant she uncovered her triforce. He was always a step behind, searching for her.
One night, while Link was in the last temple, she had a dream. She knew then what she had to do. She knew what she needed to do in order to save Hyrule. She made up her mind to do it, although it would cost her dearly.... but who, in this time of trouble, had NOT paid dearly? Link was getting battle-weary. He had been raised a Kokori, at peace with nature, healing all injured folk who come into the woods, or who live there. Mad Scrubs, Tekitites, they were people as well in the eyes of the Kokori. He had givn up all his morals, all his values. All she had to give up was... this. And Impa. She had lost her people, and she was just a Sage! She was nto even a bearer, like Zelda, yet she had also given up all that was dear to her. And Ruto, she had given up Link. Zelda was a Shekiah, and a princess, and an honerary Gerudu, and the Wisdom-bearer. So she, above all others, should have to give up SOMETHING! And so she made up her mind and went to the Temple of Time, where she knew Link was headed.
She almost backed out. But at the last moment, she steeled up her courage and removed her costume. At the same time, she called upon the Triforce to summon a simple dress, one like the one she had worn when she first met Link. He gasped, astonished. He was so shocked, he failed to notice what was happening to his left hand. But Zelda noticed hers. She felt it react to the presence of the other 2 pieces. Yes, 2. The triforce was all here. Ganon grabbed her, and she screamed. She knew what he wanted, aside from the Triforce. She begged Link to hurry and save her as she was taken away. She knew not how Link escaped, but he did.
She knew what would come next. Here was the part where she needed to be strong, to not collapse and talk. He came to the dungeon he imprisoned her in. He glared at her with his eerie green eyes.
"So, little missy. You gonna give me that Ocarina?"
He thought she still had it! he didn't know she had given Link the Ocarina of Time!
"No. Never."
"I have ways of making you talk."
Torture? Shekiah taught a method to seperate yourself from the pain that would work fine for her. No, it was not torture she feared. She remained silent.
"Talk, dammit! I know torture never works on Shekiah..... oh yes, I know allll about you, missy. Hmmm..... I need an heir." he smilled, cruelly. "yes, an heir. And you shall be my Queen, and bear my son."
This was it, then. This is what she had feared. She was tied to the wall. He could rip her dress off in an instant. She closed her eyes and willed Link to hurry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And hurry he did. He unsealed the barriers with the help of the newly-awakened Sages, and managed to get to Ganon in record time. Ganon imprisoned her in some fancy spell for effect as he battled Link. Link won, of course, and they escaped from the tower, and collapsed on the grass outside. But of course, Ganon was resurrected, and they faught again. Zelda lost her cool upon seeing the lustuous being and shreiked "Kill it!". Link, distracted, took a hit to his left arm. But he managed to kill Ganon, and the Sages trapped his essance. he came back to Zelda.
"see? no problem." he panted. As she tended to his arm, she was overcome by love for him, and a need to tell all that had happened in the Castle with Ganon.
Link listened to Zelda, horrified. He had.... how.... that monster! Taking advantage of a helpless prisoner like that! He went over and sliced the head off the dead carcass and spit on it. That was when he noticed that all his enchantments had died with him. Including one to change his eye color. His eyes were really... blue. Blue as the sky. His severed head slowly turned human, and they saw that his red hair was actually blond, but had been spelled again.
"he was a Hylian." breathed Link.
"he was adopted." Said Zelda.
They sat on the down nearby to ponder this new fact. After a bit, Link turned to Zelda.
"Zelda.... umm.... I wanted.... I want...."
"Yes? What do you want? Don't be scared."
"I want.... this." and he quickly leaned in and kissed her on the lips nervously. Then he pulled away, mortified that he had actually done it. "Zelda, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have.... with you so recently,...."
She cut him off with a kiss, longer, slower. "I wanted that too."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Zelda awoke the next morning sad. She lay in the grass and closed her eyes, remembering her dream. 'Oh, cursed prophetic dreams!'
She got up and put her dress back on. She then set about making a fire to warm them and some breakfast from Link's pack. He awoke to the smells of frying eggs and dried meat. He sat up and closed his eyes.
"mmmm... that smells good!"
She only smiled at him. When they had eaten, she turned and looked him in the eye. Then she took a deep breath and began.
"you can't stay here, you know. You have to live out your life in a normal way. You deserve to live, to grow, to discover what you have lost. So we must part. Meet me in the Temple of Time on the 8-year aniversary of our meeting for the first time."
He did some quick calculating. "That's in a month!"
"no. It's in 7 years and one month." and she released the spell she had qued up using her triforce, and he disssapeared. "goodbye, my love." she whispered to the air that rushed to fill the space he left behind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He waited a year or so, but could stand it no longer. He had to know where she went! he had no idea where she had gone. He went to look for clues in the ruins of the Castle. (Ganon had not moved in yet).
But there was no sign she ever existed. He found out that the King had died, and the Princess as well, though he knew better. He was there the day the armies of the undead overran Hyrule Castle Town, and could do nothing to stop it. Dejected, he rode away on Eponia, into the forest, to search for her alone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She made her way to the temple one month later. She had ordered some changes made, including alters to the goddesses and a tribute to the Sages. She knew he would be waiting for her. She knew that he had taken up residence in Kakario after attempting to stay with the Kokori and being denied a place to stay. After that, he had dissapeared. But she knew he would not break so important an appointment. So she waited for him. She knew he would not be long.
kk, the next chapter looks to be the last, and I will write it soon. Review, please!!!!! I am about to disclose some.... interesting new developments. But I have a few story ideas I am placing on a higher priority since NOBODY REVIEWS!!!!!!!! look, if it sux so badly, just TELL ME SO!!!
