Link's Little Brother
Epilogue
Mirren's Final Battle
By Jeff Pawlak
Author's Notes Hey, it's LittleLink once again. As you all can probably tell, I'm the one who wrote the Zelda story- Link's Little Brother. First thank you all who read it, and for those of you who read the ending author notes, you've noticed that I said I was typing a very long epilogue to it. Well I worked my butt off once again to type another great Zelda tale and this is it. It's shorter than the real story (that'd be rather odd if the epilogue was longer than the real story) but it's still an excellent piece. Also if you read the ending author notes in my big story, you'd know a little more about this (spoilers in a way) so at least you don't go into the story without knowing a little bit about it. The title says a little, but not as much as what I said before. And remember, read the real story first, you'll get a better understanding of this story then. I'm not summarizing anything! Finally I wanna say I'm dedicating this to all my best buds. John G, John P, Tony, Natalie, Victoria, and shike77 again. This one's for you guys, you're the best encouragers a kid could get!
Chapter 1
An Approaching Birthday
The sun was shining like no other over the peaceful kingdom of Hyrule. The wonderful land filled with numerous races was in a great time of peace. It had been a month since Mirren had defeated Ganondorf and Emralda, and now he was having a great time living at Hyrule Castle with all of his friends. He still kind of had his crush on Zelda, but he felt as if he was growing off it in a way. He still was very fond of her and thought she was pretty, but he wasn't totally in love with her like he had been. And Zelda had known all of this, but still was the same way to Mirren. The two felt very close to each other, almost in a way as if they were brother and sister. And they were starting to do a lot together considering that their birthdays were coming up. Believe it or not, Zelda and Mirren had the same exact birthday, and it was something that no one had ever expected. Zelda was to be 22, and Mirren was to be 12. They were both very excited about it, and the party was going to be great for them both. They both knew this was going to be the greatest birthday of their lives.
* * * * *
Mirren soared through the clouds as he rode on top of his great golden dragon Goldenfire. They were both high up in the clouds, and were flying all over Hyrule as they flew back to Hyrule Castle. The wind rushed by Mirren and cooled him off. The wind blew straight into his face and made him feel good on the hot sunny day. He smiled happily as he spotted Hyrule Castle below on the ground. He made Goldenfire begin to fly down, and he was almost home.
Goldenfire soared down to the castle like a dive bomb, going at an incredible speed through the sky down below. A great amount of wind rushed by Mirren now, and it just blew straight into his face and waved his hair back. It was like no other ride ever. Goldenfire soon stopped flying at the incredible speed, and landed in the Training Grounds.
Mirren hopped off Goldenfire and let him fly away. He looked around the Training Grounds, almost as if he were expecting someone. Soon, Jarlis walked in with his grandfather's staff in hand, smiling.
"Good ta see ya back" he said. Mirren smiled back and nodded.
"Thanks, I'm glad I took a little flight around the place, gets me out" he replied. Jarlis laughed quietly.
"Yeah, it got you out alright, for five hours, Zelda and Link are startin' ta worry" he spoke. Mirren then remembered that he told them he was only going to be out for a little while when he left.
"Oh great" he said somewhat grimly, "well, this ain't gonna be easy..or pretty for that matter!" Jarlis laughed again.
"And don't even think about having me do anything for, keep my outta this" he replied. Mirren now laughed.
"Don't worry, but there's a red rupee in it for ya if you do help." he coaxed. Jarlis narrowed his eyes and smirked.
"Are you tryin' ta bribe me Mirren?" he asked. Mirren now laughed again and Jarlis soon followed. They laughed and laughed until they began walking back into the castle. They walked through the many hallways and rooms as Jarlis showed Mirren where Zelda and Link were. They soon came to the feast hall's main door, and they both stood outside of it as Mirren thought of the scolding he'd most definitely get.
"Ya know, I have that red rupee right in my wallet now."he began before Jarlis interrupted him as he put his hand up.
"No chance Mirren, but I'll send ya a card when everything's over" he interrupted, and walked away as he laughed. Mirren watched him and smiled. He laughed quietly.
"Man, even when he says something like that for a situation like this; ya can't help but laugh" he said to himself. He then turned to the door again. He put his hand on it, and gulped. He then opened the door, and walked in to see Zelda and Link just sitting at one of the tables. They seemed to just be sitting there waiting until they noticed him and stood up from their chairs. They both crossed their arms and looked at him through angry eyes, and Zelda also began tapping her foot as she waited for an answer from Mirren. He looked up at them, and looked ashamed.
"Well Mirren, what do you have ta say for yourself?" asked Link.
"Yes, I believe you told us you were only going out for a little bit; not five hours!" added Zelda. Mirren just looked down in shame of himself. He knew that they were right, and that he should've done as he said. He looked back up at them, and still looked the same way.
"Sorry I was out longer than I said guys" he began, "I lost track of time and I guess I just totally forgot about everything. I should've tried to think of what I told you two, I mean, you guys are almost like my parents in a way. I should've had that respect for you two and listened to you as my authority. I won't do it again..I'm sorry." He still looked at them ashamed for what he did. Even with his true apology, they still just kind of glared at him. He realized they were still mad at him, and just put his head down in shame. As he looked down; Zelda and Link suddenly smiled. Zelda knelt down next to him and put her hand on his shoulder. He looked up at her, and was a little surprised to see her smile.
"Don't worry about it Mirren, just as long as you're safe, your apology works for us" she said. Mirren now began to smile back at her.
"Yeah, we're not mad at all, we were just worried that you were hurt or lost" added Link, "but you're obviously fine, and that's all that matters. And besides, you had the guts and at least the intention of truly apologizing. So that easily makes us forgive you." Mirren looked up at his older brother. Link smiled at him, and he smiled back.
"Now run along, you can do whatever you want now, just keep your promises" Zelda spoke. Mirren turned to her and nodded with a smile.
"No problem, I promise; for real this time" he replied. They both smiled at him as he turned around and ran off to do whatever he wanted. Zelda stood up, and Link put his arm around her shoulders and held her close. The two were still in love, but unfortunately they didn't feel as if they were boyfriend and girlfriend yet.
"He's quite a kid, no one better than him to be my little brother" Link said. Zelda nodded.
"Yes, he's such a sweet kid" she added, "but I still don't know what to get him. I mean, it'll be my birthday yes, but it'll also be his, and I'm sure he'll get me something. Link, do you have any ideas on what he would like?" Link thought of what Mirren liked and tried to think of something he didn't have yet. He thought of some weapons, but the Goddesses' Sword was a weapon that could never be replaced. He had already planned to get him a new bow, so he thought of something different for Zelda.
"Well, I know he likes to read" he answered, "he has a small bookshelf in his room, and he's got a few books on there already. I guess a couple more novels and other tomes would please him..I think at least!" Zelda laughed a little.
"Well at least that's something, but I'm sure someone else will get him those" she replied, "and besides, he'll probably get a lot of rupees off all of this, then he'll just buy his own. I wanna get him something special, something that no one else will get." Link now laughed himself.
"I really don't know about that then Zelda" he said, "don't worry though. The birthday's about two weeks away, I'm sure you'll find something." Zelda smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, you're right" she spoke, "I'll find something he would like." They both smiled at each before Link broke away from their embracement.
"Well I gotta go Zelda, I'm training with Taursus today, and I'm sure Mirren'll join in later" he said pointing his thumb to the door behind him. Zelda nodded.
"Go ahead, and have fun" she replied with a smile. Link smiled back and left the feast hall to go train.
* * * * *
A little bit later at the Castle Training Grounds, Link was fighting Taursus as he told Zelda. They both had all of their weapons ready, and got into the battle area. Mirren, Jarlis, Mardera and Impa sat by the steps and were ready to watch the two friends fight.
"Who do ya think'll win this one Impa?" asked Mardera. Impa looked at Link and Taursus and tried to think of who she thought would end up being victorious.
"Well, even as a Sage I can't really tell ya" she answered, "Link has great speed and agility, and he's pretty strong too; but Taursus's strength is incredible and beats Link's by a mile. So I really have no idea." Mirren took a breath and lay on the steps. He smiled and put his hands behind his head.
"Same here Impa, I'm also stumped on who'll win this one...if there's even a winner." he spoke. Everyone then focused back on Taursus and Link who were talking.
"Good luck Link, and don't go easy on me at all, besides; I'll still beat ya" taunted Taursus with a grin. Link's eyes narrowed a little.
"Tsk, you'll never beat me Taursus, even if your big ol' horns depended on it!" he spat back. The two friends then just stared at each other before letting out a laugh each. They laughed and laughed until Taursus noticed Mirren.
"Hey Mirren, wanna train with us?" he yelled out to him. Mirren looked up at him a little surprised. He really thought that Taursus just wanted it him against Link, but apparently he wanted to have another fighter train with them. Mirren shrugged.
"Sure, if ya guys really want me to." he replied. Link smiled and nodded.
"Of course we want ya in this!" he shouted, "you'll make this battle even better!" Mirren smiled at his older brother and got up. He got off the steps and began walking over to them as he pulled the Goddesses' Sword from his back. He ran over to them and smiled up at them.
"Well, I'm ready when you guys are."he said. Taursus and Link then looked at each other. They exchanged grins, and Mirren looked a little confused. He scratched his head, and wondered what the heck they were grinning about. Suddenly they both swung at him with their weapons and Mirren was just able to dodge them. He jumped back with a yell of surprise and fight.
"Hey!" he yelled, "what's this all about!?" Link laughed.
"It's a double team bro" he answered, "We wanna see how ya can do fighting us both at the same time."
"But you're just as good as me, and Taursus is just as tough as us, I won't stand a chance!!!!!" he interrupted. Taursus now laughed also.
"What, you're sayin' you guys are better than me?" he asked with a grin. Mirren gritted his teeth.
"Yes ya cheap Minotaur!" he yelled back in anger that he was gonna be double-teamed, "ya know what..fine! Take me on!!!!!" Taursus grinned as Link backed up behind him.
"You go first Taursus, I'll follow" he said. Taursus turned his head and nodded. At this exact moment, Link grinned. But he didn't grin at Taursus, instead it was for Mirren. He grinned back at his older brother and suddenly charged straight at Taursus. He pushed his shoulder out and rammed him straight in the chest. Taursus yelled in pain and was knocked flat. He crashed on the ground and Link immediately jumped down next to him and pointed the Master Sword at him.
"I believe-me and Mirren won."he announced with a smile. Taursus's eyes widened in shock.
"Whaaaaaaaaaat!!!!!!?????"he yelled, "I thought you and me were fightin'!!?? What's this all about Link!? I wanna answer!!!" Mirren began laughing hysterically. Link could only grin.
"Well Taursus, I figured you'd ask Mirren ta join us in our fight, so me and him decided to make it look like you and me were gonna fight, while really it was me and Mirren!" Everyone else then burst out in laughter as Mirren just rolled on the ground still laughing. Link now stood up and began to laugh with them. Taursus still looked around in complete confusion of everything before standing up and laughing quietly himself.
"Well, that truly was a great tactic."he began normally as he crossed his arms, "you guys really had me fooled. I would've never had expected that.." Taursus's eyes then lit up with anger. ".You two are dead!!!!" he screamed and dived at Link and Mirren. Link's eyes widened in fear and he yelled a little from fright. He was just able to evade Taursus and grab Mirren by the back of his green turtleneck. He began running out of the Training Grounds as he still held onto Mirren and laughed. Mirren looked upside down through his legs and laughed at Taursus who was still trying to catch Link. Everyone else watching also laughed.
"Those two are the greatest brother's I've seen in my life.." Impa said to herself in her head.
* * * * *
Taursus never got the chance to get any revenge on Mirren and Link. While he was still very fast, Link's speed beat his by a mile and escaped with Mirren. They had both ran for quite some time before Taursus finally just gave up and let them have the last laugh. They both went into one of the courtyards and began training by themselves.
* * * * *
Link went for a vertical slash...but Mirren lifted up the Goddesses' Sword and blocked the attack. He jumped back as Link went for a stab and missed. Mirren then at him and slashed him across the face. Link grunted in pain and was knocked sideways a few feet. Mirren rested for the moment as Link wiped away the blood on his cheek.
"Nice attack" he complimented with a smile, "quick, powerful..but nothing like this one.." Link then rushed at him in the blink of an eye and did a cut across his upper chest. Mirren yelled in pain and clutched his bleeding wound. He groaned in pain as Link twirled the Master Sword around with his hand and grinned.
"Come on bro, you can't just go down like that.." He stated. Mirren looked up and his brother and slowly got up. He wiped his blood-covered hand on the grass and stood fully up. Link smiled at him now and Mirren got in a battle position.
"You want a real attack from me Link?" he inquired with fierce eyes, "...you got it!" He then jumped at Link and sent the quickest, most powerful slash ever right at his face. Link's eyes bugged out in fear and shock as the blade came flying at his face. He jerked his head back just in time as the sacred blade flew by. He just stood there still amazed with the attack as Mirren gritted his teeth.
"Darn!" he yelled, "I only got your hair!" Link now looked a little confused.
"My hair?" he asked, "what in the world do ya..." Suddenly a few stands of blonde hair just fell off of Link's head and floated down to the ground. Link stared at them with surprise before he finally looked up at the angry Mirren. "Whoa..." he muttered. Seeing he just literally put him in a trance of shock; Mirren took the advantage of Link and charged at him for a stab. Link was just able to snap out of it in time and lift up his mirror shield to block Mirren's attack. The blade smashed into the shining shield, and Link went for his own stab.
Mirren had no way to evade it, not to mention he couldn't block it with his sword. He quickly tried to think of a way to stop the attack. He looked around to see something that he could block with. He then noticed his knapsack on the side of his belt. He reached out, unhooked it, and held it out. He did all of this in a matter of seconds and was able to block Link's stab with the sack. The Master Sword went straight through it, but didn't even come close to hitting Mirren. Link smiled and pulled his sword back.
"Nice job" he complimented, "thinking on your feet and being able to succeed..impressive" Mirren smiled back.
"Yeah, I guess at times I can be a pretty good improviser." he added. Link then looked down at the knapsack and began giggling. Mirren looked at him a little confused. "What's up bro?" he asked. Link now burst out into laughter and dropped his weapons as he held his stomach from his continuous laughter.
"Look at what was inside of that thing!" he said laughing as he pointed to the knapsack. Mirren looked a little surprised, but still looked. He opened it up, and pulled out his now torn Goron Tunic. Link kept on laughing as Mirren just stared at it. He put his hand on his forehead and shook his head.
"Well, this one ain't getting' fixed" he spoke, "torn completely..and I look good in red; darn it!" Link now kind of stopped laughing.
"Why don't you just go buy another one in Goron City?" he asked. Mirren looked up at him through irritated eyes.
"'Cause they're two-hundred rupees each" he answered sounding irritated also, "not to mention I still need to get a Zelda a gift for her birthday; I just have the cash!" Link now looked at the wrecked Goron Tunic again and just began laughing as hard as ever. Mirren could only grit his teeth.
* * * * *
Zelda had watched everything from around the corner. She saw the entire battle, she heard everything they said, and saw the wrecked Goron Tunic. She laughed a little as she saw Link laughing and Mirren's somewhat angry face.
"Well, at least I finally know of a gift to get him.." she whispered to herself.
Author's Notes: This is only the beginning of one heck of a sequel! There's soooooo much more coming in the next chapters, and I promise this thing'll be just as great as the original..heck, it may be even better! But that's not my decision, it's yours! Please review and tell me what ya think!

"Well Taursus, I figured you'd ask Mirren ta join us in our fight, so me and him decided to make it look like you and me were gonna fight, while really it was me and Mirren!" Everyone else then burst out in laughter as Mirren just rolled on the ground still laughing. Link now stood up and began to laugh with them.

"Well, that truly was a great tactic."he began normally as he crossed his arms, "you guys really had me fooled. I would've never had expected that.." Taursus's eyes then lit up with anger. ".You two are dead!!!!" he screamed and dived at Link and Mirren. Link's eyes widened in fear and he yelled a little from fright. He was just able to evade Taursus and grab Mirren by the back of his green turtleneck. He began running out of the Training Grounds as he still held onto Mirren and laughed. Mirren looked upside down through his legs and laughed at Taursus who was still trying to catch Link. Everyone else watching also laughed.
"Those two are the greatest brother's I've seen in my life.." Impa said to herself in her head.

Taursus never got the chance to get any revenge on Mirren and Link. While he was still very fast, Link's speed beat his by a mile and escaped with Mirren. They had both ran for quite some time before Taursus finally just gave up and let them have the last laugh. They both went into one of the courtyards and began training by themselves.

Link went for a vertical slash...but Mirren lifted up the Goddesses' Sword and blocked the attack. He jumped back as Link went for a stab and missed. Mirren then at him and slashed him across the face. Link grunted in pain and was knocked sideways a few feet. Mirren rested for the moment as Link wiped away the blood on his cheek.
"Nice attack" he complimented with a smile, "quick, powerful..but nothing like this one.." Link then rushed at him in the blink of an eye and did a cut across his upper chest. Mirren yelled in pain and clutched his bleeding wound. He groaned in pain as Link twirled the Master Sword around with his hand and grinned.
"Come on bro, you can't just go down like that.." He stated. Mirren looked up and his brother and slowly got up. He wiped his blood-covered hand on the grass and stood fully up. Link smiled at him now and Mirren got in a battle position.
"You want a real attack from me Link?" he inquired with fierce eyes, "...you got it!" He then jumped at Link and sent the quickest, most powerful slash ever right at his face. Link's eyes bugged out in fear and shock as the blade came flying at his face. He jerked his head back just in time as the sacred blade flew by. He just stood there still amazed with the attack as Mirren gritted his teeth.
"Darn!" he yelled, "I only got your hair!" Link now looked a little confused.
"My hair?" he asked, "what in the world do ya..." Suddenly a few stands of blonde hair just fell off of Link's head and floated down to the ground. Link stared at them with surprise before he finally looked up at the angry Mirren. "Whoa..." he muttered. Seeing he just literally put him in a trance of shock; Mirren took the advantage of Link and charged at him for a stab. Link was just able to snap out of it in time and lift up his mirror shield to block Mirren's attack. The blade smashed into the shining shield, and Link went for his own stab.
Mirren had no way to evade it, not to mention he couldn't block it with his sword. He quickly tried to think of a way to stop the attack. He looked around to see something that he could block with. He then noticed his knapsack on the side of his belt. He reached out, unhooked it, and held it out. He did all of this in a matter of seconds and was able to block Link's stab with the sack. The Master Sword went straight through it, but didn't even come close to hitting Mirren. Link smiled and pulled his sword back.
"Nice job" he complimented, "thinking on your feet and being able to succeed..impressive" Mirren smiled back.
"Yeah, I guess at times I can be a pretty good improviser." he added. Link then looked down at the knapsack and began giggling. Mirren looked at him a little confused. "What's up bro?" he asked. Link now burst out into laughter and dropped his weapons as he held his stomach from his continuous laughter.
"Look at what was inside of that thing!" he said laughing as he pointed to the knapsack. Mirren looked a little surprised, but still looked. He opened it up, and pulled out his now torn Goron Tunic. Link kept on laughing as Mirren just stared at it. He put his hand on his forehead and shook his head.
"Well, this one ain't getting' fixed" he spoke, "torn completely..and I look good in red; darn it!" Link now kind of stopped laughing.
"Why don't you just go buy another one in Goron City?" he asked. Mirren looked up at him through irritated eyes.
"'Cause they're two-hundred rupees each" he answered sounding irritated also, "not to mention I still need to get a Zelda a gift for her birthday; I just have the cash!" Link now looked at the wrecked Goron Tunic again and just began laughing as hard as ever. Mirren could only grit his teeth.
* * * * *
Zelda had watched everything from around the corner. She saw the entire battle, she heard everything they said, and saw the wrecked Goron Tunic. She laughed a little as she saw Link laughing and Mirren's somewhat angry face.
"Well, at least I finally know of a gift to get him.." she whispered to herself.
