Chapter 5
Diary Entry of Zelda that day;
~It has been a while since I've written in you diary. There have been some funny things happening here at Hyrule Castle. The other day, I had a dream that Link brought a child from Terlon Forest here after a great battle. Sure enough, my dream was true and Link actually brought his long lost little brother here! The Messenger of the Goddesses Kaepora Gaebora came by and told us the whole story of the child. His name was Mirren and actually fought against Ganondorf and his sister Emralda many years ago. He had destroyed them and was believed to have had some of the Triforce in his power, but that can't be true. I guess he doesn't even remember the battle, it was many years ago so I could understand. But what I don't understand is why there were shadows of Ganondorf and Emralda at the battle. I hate to say it, but I have a feeling they might be after him for that battle.
He is a very sweet kid, and Link has spent a lot of time with him. He's taken him to Kakariko Village, taught him to use the bow and arrow, and took him to Lon Lon Ranch not too long ago. He's spending even more time now that Mirren had a dream there were three new forces attacking Hyrule. Even I had the dream, and Kaepora Gaebora stopped by again to tell us it was true. He and Link left the castle to go to Hyrule Sea. I hope they both alright, especially Mirren, I'd hate to see him get really hurt or even die since I still want to spend more time with him. He's just like Link, my love.
The other night, I asked Link if he loved me or not. He said no, but that I was his best friend. Perhaps this was a lie so save him embarrassment, or maybe he just doesn't love me the way I love him. Hopefully he was lying. He is such a handsome man. Those blue eyes, the blonde hair, and that incredible voice and face just made me fall for him all those years ago. He saved me from Ganondorf and other dangers so many times, I just can't help but have that special feeling for him. But I still feel afraid to tell him, for some odd reason. Hopefully, I'll lose that feeling and tell him, that I love him.~

Back at Emralda and Ganondorf's citadel, the two were watching Mirren flying on Goldenfire with Link, Acro, and Mardera. They were both a little angry with what had just happened, but they were even angrier with the Gerudo Goldenfire was carrying in his huge claws. They knew that it was Mardera. They couldn't believe she had actually betrayed them. It just enraged them to know she turned her back on them.
"That fool, she'll pay for what's she's done!" yelled Emralda.
"Please sister, I'm just as angry" replied Ganondorf, "but we mustn't let that get to our heads. We can get our revenge any time we want. Besides, we should still be worrying about the Wolf-Bear and the Evil Phoenix. They are our most important concerns at this point." Emralda settled down and did as her brother said.
"Forgive me Ganondorf, you're right. I mustn't snap for no good reason like that."
"Good, because I think I know of a way to get revenge on that Gerudo traitor" he said. Emralda now looked surprised, but in a good way.
"What?" she said with an evil grin. Ganondorf returned it with an evil smile.
"I say we attack Gerudo Fortress while she's not there and take all the Gerudos captive" he answered, "It'll be good to make others suffer for her mistake. That'll get her." Emralda was pleased with the plan, but still had further questions.
"What will we use on the attack, I mean creatures?" she asked. Ganondorf kept his diabolical smile.
"Creatures they'll never defeat" he answered, "Dinolfos and Iron Knuckles in swarms, and even a few Like Likes."
"You could use one more thing to make the assault perfect" replied Emralda, "Giant Cobras." Ganondorf lost his smile and looked a little confused.
"Giant Cobras? Never heard of 'em" he replied, "I've never seen 'em for that matter either."
"They're huge dark yellow cobras with a red underbelly" she said, "I can create a few of them with some mystical sand I have from a sacred desert. They're very powerful, and have deadly venom." Ganondorf smiled wickedly.
"Sounds like a good idea, we'll attack the fort once Mirren and Link defeat the other beasts.... If they can" Emralda smiled back the same way.
"Our plan will work no matter what happens" she said, "We will have our revenge."
Back on the Shore of Hyrule Sea, everyone was resting. Mardera had woken up from her unconscious state and was her normal self. They all took a little nap under the sun and the refreshing breeze. Goldenfire didn't even leave to go back to the skies. He instead stayed with them and took a nap along with them. After about an hour they all woke up and were ready to get going back home.
"I'll go find my ship and be headin' back on the seas" said Acro, "it's still probably by a small delta not too far from here. So I'll go alone, you guys can get going right away."
"Ya sure?" asked Link.
"I'm sure" answered Acro, "I'll find it easily. It has been quite a journey with you guys, I'll always remember this. Goodbye Link, Mardera, and Mirren, may good luck stay with ya guys!" Acro then waved to his friends and began walking down the sandy shore until he could no longer been seen. Everyone waved back to him as they smiled. They would always remember Acro. Link was the first to stop waving and turned to Mardera.
"Hey Mardera, do you wanna go back to Gerudo Fortress now?" he asked. Mardera stopped waving also and turned to Link. She soon let out a small laugh.
"Not after the adventure we just had!" she replied, "You guys are the best! I mean wow! I've never seen such men so brave! Besides, you guys are gonna help defeating the other monsters here in Hyrule!" Mirren was surprised from Mardera's response to the question.
"You mean, you wanna come to Hyrule Castle and help us?" he asked sounding confused.
"Oh course!" Mardera answered, "The Gerudos will perfectly understand that I helped you guys with the other monsters. Besides, I need ta get out more. I've been at that Fortress for years now, I need an adventure! And you guys are the best in my mind to go with." Link seemed to blush a little, and Mirren noticed it.
"Pansy!" he whispered. Link heard it and elbowed him in the stomach. Mirren grabbed his stomach and puffed like heck when it hit.
"Shut up!" Link whispered, "She'll leave us if you keep acting like this!" Mirren stopped grabbing his stomach and looked at his brother square in the eye with a glare.
"What's up with you now, do you love her or somethin'?!" Mirren retorted. Link gritted his teeth and grabbed Mirren by his collar with both hands. He held him up in the air as he glared at him with him still gritting his teeth.
"Oh course I don't love her!" he said louder, "And I wouldn't be makin' fun of me if I were you Mr. Midget!"
"Well at least I'm not the loser who's wearing tights!" Mirren spat back even louder. Link was even angrier.
"Say one more thing about that and I'll tear you limb from limb!" he yelled.
"With what? Your tights!?" Mirren shouted. Link lost control just then. He spun around and threw Mirrenten feet away from him into the sand. Mirren got up and spat all the sand out of his mouth. He wiped his lips and glared at Link.
"That's it bro, your goin' down!" he yelled. He charged at Link and yelled. He jumped in the air and rammed Link. Even though he was smaller, he took Link down and began slapping his head back and forth. Soon Link grabbed both of Mirren's hands and got up. With his grasp still on he lifted him up in the air and brought him down op the ground face first. Mirren's entire front side crashed in the ground and indented it. He slowly got up as Link laughed.
"Whata ya got now punk?" he said dominantly. Mirren didn't reply. He looked at Link and spit a stream of sand into his face. Link jumped back and screamed and rubbed his face continuously. Mirren then walked over to him and kicked him in the shin. Link shouted in pain and grabbed his leg. He hopped up and down holding his leg. Soon Mirren kicked him in the other leg and made Link fall onto the sand. He flopped down as Mirren jumped up. He landed with both feet on Link's back and began stomping on him. Link endured the pain for a couple minutes before he got up and grabbed Mirren by the back. He lifted him up and held him in the air above his head.
"Have a nice swim bro!" he yelled and threw Mirren right into the water. He crashed into it and created a huge splash. Link laughed and laughed as Mirren slowly got up. He yelled and charged at Link. He jumped in the air once again and did a flying body press into his brother. He knocked him down and they were soon rolling down hitting each other. Mardera and Goldenfire watched in embarrassment as they kept fighting. Mardera smacked her forehead.
"What idiots!" she said shaking her head. Goldenfire replied with a low moan. After quite some time of the two fighting, Mardera stopped them and they all got on Goldenfire. Mirren got on his back, Link got on his right wing, and Goldenfire held Mardera in his huge claws. They flew off the shore and began flying back to Hyrule Castle. On the way Link and Mirren were able to make up and get back to their old selves.
After a little while, they got back to Hyrule Castle and landed outside in the larger courtyards where Faria and Zelda were having a little brunch. They saw the huge Golden dragon land only a few feet from them and literally freaked out.
"Who is that!?" shouted Faria. Mirren laughed and jumped down from Goldenfire's back. Link followed up and Mardera came off last. Mirren petted Goldenfire as Zelda and Faria stared at him with shock on their faces.
"This is Goldenfire, my pet dragon" he answered he answered coolly, "don't worry, he won't hurt you guys." Even though they were still a little scared, they both walked over to him and put their hands on his neck. They began rubbing it up and down and Goldenfire seemed to like it. They both lost their fear and smiled.
"I guess you're right Mirren" said Faria, "he's a very nice dragon." Mirren smiled as Zelda and Faria sighed with relief and looked at Mirren and Link.
"I'm so glad to see that both of you are safe" Zelda said.
Link smiled at her and she smiled back. "Never worry about us, we'll always be fine" he replied.
"I know you will, but I'd die if something ever happened to Mirren or you" Zelda replied. They both looked at each and smiled even more. As Faria still stroked Goldenfire's neck, she noticed Mardera.
"Hey, who are you?" she asked. Zelda finally noticed Mardera too.
"Yeah, are you a friend of Mirren and Link?" she asked. Mardera nodded and bowed.
"I am Mardera from Gerudo Fortress your majesties, please to meet you both". (Now you'd normally see a woman curtsy, but this was a Gerudo we were talking about so you can really understand it). Zelda and Faria both nodded their heads and smiled.
"Good to meet you" said Faria.
"I hope you'll like it here at Hyrule Castle" said Zelda. Mardera smiled and nodded.
"I'm sure I will" she said. After that, everyone went inside the castle as Goldenfire flew off. They all went to the great hall to first have Link, Mardera, and Mirren bandaged up before they had brunch. Link needed a little bandaging up in the stomach, while Mardera needed it in the shoulder where Captain Ogre had slashed her. Believe it or not, Mirren barely needed anything! The only thing he needed was a little aloe gel on his right arm from the first battle with the Ogre Pirates when Link was ambushed. After that they had their brunch. They had fresh roasted apples, bread with Terlon Forest Honey, and Blueberry pastries. They all ate as Mardera got to know Zelda and Faria a little better. She figured she'd be at the castle for a while, so it'd be good if she knew them better. As they talked and told stories, Link and Mirren discussed their plan for the next journey. Link had laid out a nice map of Hyrule on a table as they ate and planned.
"I say we go to Terlon Forest and take out that Wolf-Bear as quickly as possible" Mirren said after taking a bite of a roasted apple, "that thing doesn't sound like anything a nice forest needs."
"That's true, but I think we'd better attack the Phoenix now" Link replied, "That thing could take out all of Hyrule in not a long period of time!"
"Yes, but I have a very good friend in Terlon Forest, and I'd hate to go there and find him dead!" Mirren said right back, "besides, Darunia's there right? I'm sure he could defend against it until we would get there. He is a sage after all isn't he?" Link looked at his little brother. He thought for a few moments to decide if it really was a good plan. Mirren did have some good points after all. He wouldn't want to see Mirren's friend dead because they went to fight the Phoenix. Also, Darunia probably could fight against it before there got there if it did attack.
"All right" he said after a sigh, "we'll leave for Terlon Forest tomorrow."
A few hours later, as the sun found its way into the horizon and finally sank, Mirren was on one of the balconies Link had talked to Zelda on before with the prophecy. He loved watching the dark night sky with all the beautiful shining stars. Once in a while, he'd see a shooting star go bye and make a wish. As he watched alone in peace, he saw some formations in the sky. He noticed one similar to a hawk or eagle, one that resembled a dragon, and even one that looked like the Triforce. He looked for more and surprising found one that kind of resembled Link's face. He didn't know if it was really real or if he was just seeing things now. But whatever it was to him, it sure as heck made him think of his older brother. He smiled as he suddenly heard the door to the balcony slowly opened. He looked towards it and saw Faria walking in. She closed the door and walked to Mirren who was a little surprised with the arrival of her.
"Hi Mirren" she said with a smile. Mirren still was confused, but smiled back.
"Hey Faria" he replied. Faria walked closer to him and looked at the stars with him.
"The night sky is beautiful isn't it Mirren?" she said. Mirren simply nodded.
"It really is, and I've never seen it better than from here at Hyrule Castle" he said. He looked at Faria as she still watched the stars. "Hey Faria, no offense, but why did you come up here?" he asked. Faria turned to him and still smiled a little.
"Well you see" she began, "all these years, my sister and your brother had always usually watched the stars together, and I really never wanted to invade their privacy together, so I always watched alone. So I guess, well, I felt I finally had someone to be with since you've come here." Faria really didn't smile anymore; instead she looked a little embarrassed. Mirren stared at her for a few moments a little oddly before letting out a laugh.
"You've got no reason to be embarrassed Faria, I'd want someone to be with me too" he replied, "sure being alone is fun sometimes, but having someone with you is always just as nice!" Faria sighed with relief.
"Well at least I've got that off my chest!" she said, "and don't think I've got a crush on you or anything 'cause I don't!" Mirren laughed a little more.
"Don't worry, I knew you didn't, I feel the same way" he said. Faria smiled and Mirren smiled back. They both turned to the sky and watched as a bunch of shooting stars flew by. As Mirren smiled and watched, Faria thought of another thing.
"Hey Mirren" she whispered as she turned to him, "do you think we'll ever love each other when we're older?" Mirren turned to Faria and looked at her in that thinking kind of thinking face before laughing again. He finally answered once he stopped.
"I'd seriously we'd ever go that far, but I'm sure we'll be great friends forever!" he replied. Faria smiled.
"I felt the same way, but just to make sure with you" she said. Mirren smiled at her as she still smiled at him. They both turned and looked up at the sky.
"I'm glad you came her Mirren, because then I'd never have someone who I could call my best friend" Faria said. Mirren still smiled as they both looked up at the sky.
"Me too Faria, me too" he replied.

"Hey Mirren" she whispered as she turned to him, "do you think we'll ever love each other when we're older?" Mirren turned to Faria and looked at her in that thinking kind of thinking face before laughing again. He finally answered once he stopped.
"I'd seriously we'd ever go that far, but I'm sure we'll be great friends forever!" he replied. Faria smiled.
"I felt the same way, but just to make sure with you" she said. Mirren smiled at her as she still smiled at him. They both turned and looked up at the sky.
"I'm glad you came her Mirren, because then I'd never have someone who I could call my best friend" Faria said. Mirren still smiled as they both looked up at the sky.
"Me too Faria, me too" he replied.
